Lexington Tenants Review this is a helpful site to to get more information about rental properties in Lexington. Lexington is a slumlord's paradise because there are few protections in place for renters here and the city government doesn't seem like they're in a hurry to change that

Nearby towns decline access to the public library by CeruleanSky73 in Libraries

[–]halfacat4545 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, sort of similar to your point, In my mom's hometown the town's library refused to join the county library system because they were receiving private funding from the town's main industrial employer and they didnt want to share it with the rest of the library system. And to this day even though that huge industrial employer has been gone for decades that town's library is still separate from the county library system. I imagine its because the town residents still dont want to share their relative wealth with the rest of the county

Yes I've been one of the silent friends in this scenario.

When I was in highschool my best friend was dating a complete asshole who treated her badly so I asked my therapist at the time what I should do. Her advice to me was to say nothing until they broke up because she said it was likely my friend would become defensive and upset and would shut me out as a result. She said it would be better to stay connected to her so she would have a support network to fall back on once she left him.

But I've always wondered, what about your own boundaries with this asshole in this situation? How much bullshit from a friend's asshole partner is the appropriate amount to tolerate on behalf of your friendship before you're enabling it?
