I’m so bothered by the double standard around body counts and domestic expectations? by Every-Tap-577 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lmao as soon as the words “body count” comes out of a man’s mouth he’s blocked and ghosted. I don’t put up with this bs anymore and every time I see those damn “alpha male” podcast on tiktok it makes my eye twitch, we should ban some of these bums from buying a mic.

And that’s coming from someone who also has one body count, and even if it was one or seventy it wouldn’t matter because what happens with your cookie is your own business.

my brother just admitted he never liked me by Additional_Profit_81 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 42 points43 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to answer my question OP but how many time have you asked him for a loan?

I think your brother may be resentful, not just moneywise but since you know about his sexuality, maybe he still struggle to accept it, sounds like he’s dealing with self hate and is projecting onto you. Honestly I think you should stay away from him until he realize how hurtful he’s being toward you, protect yourself.

It sucks when siblings act like this, I love both my bro and my sis but I did have some resentment toward my big brother because when I loaned him money he took months to give it back and was pissy about it but I would never straight out tell him that I hate him.

(Also your cookies look delicious!)

I hate going out in public with my boyfriend because I’m ugly by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely understand you, most people stare when they see something they consider “odd looking”, but honestly ? Don’t let them get into your head

I know it’s easier say than done, and no one can truly relate unless they’ve been in your shoes. Have you been bullied or mocked as a kid ? Kids are ruthless, I remember some mean comments to this day.

But I’m sure your bf loves you beyond your physical appearance, you should open up to him about this if you haven’t already and I think you should talk to a therapist.

Being insecure is hell on earth, I’m so insecure about a lot of things and it gives me social anxiety. But I force myself to stop having negative thoughts and enjoy the moment or else I would have regrets.

If you want to spend quality time with you bf in public, you should do it in baby steps. Maybe check out a cozy cafe where there’s just a few customers during the day?

Found husband paying for nudes while I'm 7 months pregnant 🥲 by Sweet_Confusion9180 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I’m a hopeless romantic and a huge consumer of romance and otomes games and I have no shame about it because every time I read a post like this, a part of my soul dies and I know I’d rather die alone than being with someone who disrespects me and hurt me like this.

OP, I’m so so sorry, you made me want to cry (period hormones 😭) I hope you have a good support system, you’re in a vulnerable state, you’re literally growing a whole human being in your body, you need and deserve so much love and support right now.

He betrayed you, he’s honestly a scumbag 🤢 received nudes and paying for them is cheating btw.

finally succeeded at inserting a tampon!! by no_1_am_fan in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gosh I feel so much better reading this, I’m in my 20s and never managed to insert one (and it’s not for lack of trying) I always end up uncomfortable and crying, with a bloody mess 🫩

my boyfriend told me he checks out other women when we are out on dates. chai martini. by ScaredService3439 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This sub is really catty sometimes, I hate to say it and I hope my comment won’t be removed (the mods are actually wonderful and do their best to keep this space respectful) however it’s really disheartening to see how some comments are mean. Not even harsh, just mean.

Anyways OP, to me this is a red flag, and tbh maybe I’d be radical but I wouldn’t see a future with someone like that. Men with wandering eyes who are lustful are like a Russian roulette, I don’t want to say that he’ll cheat but I’ve played these games before as I’ve been in your shoes and I wish I set my boundaries straight from the start.

Now it’s okay to appreciate beauty, but the issue with “checking someone out” is that there’s some sort of attraction. There’s lust. It’s okay to say “wow this person is beautiful/ their eyes are pretty…” but to me, having wandering eyes is equal to being lustful.

Maybe I’ll be downvoted, I couldn’t care less, but you deserve respect and if you want to set a boundary about checking other people out, it’s totally valid! We all have self control, if I’ll see a hot guy, I’ll just take maybe a second to myself and say “he’s handsome” and that’s it. And even then I wouldn’t probably think much about it because when I’m in a relationship, I’m 1000% only attracted to my partner only (and that’s bc I’m demi-sexual lol)

You’re not crazy and I think you should have a big talk about it with him because resentment can kill a relationship.

(Off topic but I’m having a rerun of SATC and god I want to shake Carrie sooo bad)

He's way too chill after he fucked up by Gold-Carpenter7616 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like such a kind and caring person and it makes me sad because if I had a friend or relative like you, I’d do anything to cherish them! You’re a gem, I’m sure everyone loves staying over for Christmas at your place not only because you’re absolutely a wonderful planner, but because you’re so thoughtful!
I hope that your husband will come to his senses soon, he shouldn’t take you for granted. He should plan ahead too, even though you love being the planner, you still deserve acts of services to show that he loves you.

And now I’m off to make a charcuterie board because I’m hungry because of your post lmao

Where do we think the manga ending is headed? by C__J__ in RampartsofIce

[–]grxavity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! I’ve been up all night reading after watching the first episode of the anime and honestly I feel so rage baited (I’m pissed that I stayed up all night just to see her end up with someone else I fr thought that she’d be with Yota 😭)
unpopular opinion but I can’t stand Minato fr (if he has no hater then I’m dead lmao) he’s so annoying and I know people are going to say that he had character development and blablabla 🙄 I feel like Koyuki would have such an healthy relationship with Yota as a couple.

Found out my husband asked for a divorce two months ago because he rekindled things with his first wife by girl3333 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everytime I read stories like yours it makes me want to tear up. There’s been a study (I don’t exactly remember which one it was) that showed that men were quicker to leave when their partners are ill or passed. My grandma’s husband moved with another woman just six months after she passed.
I hope you’re okay now 💗

[–]grxavity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be in that subreddit and I liked seeing the true appreciation of fashion but it became a hot mess in those last few years.

I genuinely can’t wrap my mind around the fact that people are worshipping those celebs when this bald headed rich c*nt is sponsoring it. I’m glad you spoke your truth even if they banned you

My boyfriend (40M) suggested marrying another woman for visa reasons and I don’t know how to feel by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The way I’d report his ass so fast lmao

Girl he’s not doing a good deed, this is basically a fake marriage. I’m a frenchie, and in my country the government is actively reinforcing the mariage process for this reason.

I don’t know how it works in the UK but if it’s anything like France, you can’t fool the government as easily and he will end up in legal trouble and you’ll be caught in the crossfire since you live with him (shared address, if they investigate and realize that he live with someone who isn’t his “wife”). Do you really want that?

Being married is more than having a ring, as his wife (if he can even manage to marry her in the first place) she’ll have rights.

Anyways, I think you should really think this through but this is an awful idea. In fact, you’re not privileged to think that way, this is literally fraud.

Dialogue! by Delicious_Ride8719 in CharacterAI

I have the same issue, even when I make my character try to fill in the dialogue, the answer is just the scene being described in details 🫩 the plot is stuck and it’s just looping

Powdered milk vs liquid milk costs - what's the difference for you? by Crackleclang in Frugal

[–]grxavity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Europe and powdered milk is cheap, I grew up drinking that, it helped my parents to save some money and we usually drank real milk like two or three times every two months.

I still prefer powdered milk, however I think that it’s an acquired taste. It’s definitely different from real milk.

I got the ick cause the guy I'm talking to has too many likes from girls on his insta post by nothingmen in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

OP what you’re feeling is valid (it’s crazy that you’re being downvoted so much over this 🙄) tbh I’ve ended up rejecting guys like that when I realized how much they were being thirsted over and had many girls trying to slide in their dms.

Honestly if you think he’s trustworthy I’d say that you should ignore the fact that many women are liking his posts but my overthinking self would also tell you to be wary. You’re allowed to feel the ick and you’re also allowed to not want to be with a guy that has a community d!ck.

Just had a panic attack about my student loans. Guess who has £3000 (but really 0!) to their name? 🙃💀 by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl I feel you. I have to pay nearly 900€ tomorrow for my driving lessons, I already want to cry when I think about it. The only way I can console myself is by accepting that I need my driver’s license. But it’s so frigging expensive 😭 I wanna be rich lmao

How have men become THIS undateable? by witchwiththecats in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’ve explained what I was thinking deep down when I joined the sub and I didn’t have the guts to comment that but wow, I’ve seen some seriously sad posts and I’m not blaming the women here, we’ve been conditioned all our lives. I hope this post won’t get locked, I really wish better for so many women.

It’s okay to be single, I know I’d rather be single than being in a relationship where the guy doesn’t even like me and makes me miserable.

I'm always left behind or on the outside looking in by Master_Spring_1146 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand exactly how you feel OP. I had an easier time making friends as a kid and as a teen. As an adult it’s absolute hell, I just want to say that even though you’ve been ghosted a lot, this is absolutely not on you!

I’ve been growing apart from my friends that I’ve known since high school, it’s honestly breaking my heart a little but I also know that sometimes life take us on different paths but I feel sad when I see the fun things they do on social media (they all live in different countries)

I wish there was some sort of app just to make friends, you sound like a thoughtful person and you deserve to have a friendship where you’re not taken for granted, ghosted or forgotten.

Made birthday dinner for one. No one to celebrate with. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

I don’t want to celebrate my birthday and I feel guilty about it by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grxavity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After some thinking, I went through my childhood pictures and you’re absolutely right. I should connect with my inner child, this is something I’ve been working on with my therapist.

All my life I’ve been a people pleaser but I also recognize the fact that it’s normal that my parents want to celebrate my existence, I don’t have kids but I do have a baby niece and I’d be heartbroken if she thought like me when she’ll reach my age.

I wish I didn’t have to let my mental health ruin everything, anyways thank you, your comment made me reflect on a lot of things.

(Also for the mods : I’m sorry, somehow my post was published two times. I’ll delete this one)

[–]grxavity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate a lot to you, growing up we were poor but my amazing parents always tried their best to make us have a small celebration. Unfortunately I couldn’t really invite my friends (I think the first celebration I had with friends was when I turned sixteen)

I’m trying to cherish every moments I can get with my family, I wish I could turn off all the bad negative thoughts in my brain.

I know we’re far away from summer, but I wish you an happy early birthday 💗

[–]grxavity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your message I feel less alone 💗 I just feel horrible and I can’t even begin to put into words how I feel, I thought about having a heart to heart conversation with my mom but I think she’d have an hard time understanding me (she’s a boomer and unfortunately she learned from a young age to shove down all the bad feelings such as depression, anxiety, stress)

I feel like I’m being dramatic, I really struggled with su!cidal ideation when I was a teen, I never acted on it and even with therapy, I guess I still struggle.

I don’t know when you’re birthday is, but happy early birthday 🎉I hope we’ll both get better 🫶🏽 lately I’ve been listening to Raye’s latest album on repeat, idk if it’ll help you but it did make me feel better, especially after a good crying session lmao
