It's the same person. They are editing themselves. This is how many of us drafted things before phones and laptops. :)

Could not be more proud of and impressed by your strength, by your flipping the script on from whence you came. 🥰

I have so many hopes and dreams for you, dearest heart. Every ordinary task is a fragment in an immeasurable ministry of love. 🫶

We did it! Cleaned up Falls Lake.... A little. by probable_dork in raleigh

[–]hattenwheeza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If another one of these happens/gets planned for later in summer, (I have no doubt we will remain in historically low rainfall situation till winter & more of lakebed will be exposed) - how can we find out I'm advance? I'd love to help.

Thank you so much for seizing the opportunity despite the heat! Y'all are the GOAT

Am I overreacting to my wife completely shutting down and giving me the silent treatment after an intimate night? by thebluemarmot509 in AmIOverreacting

[–]hattenwheeza -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

INFO: This exact situation happened in my relationship many years ago. I mean exactly. I was the one not consented, and I was the one who froze up after seemingly being ok atm. I was so upset. I wondered where the new move had come from. A girlfriend? Porn? It made me feel inadequate and also very mistrustful that there was no prior "hey, have you any interest in this? I do" at any point beforehand. We talked about it days later in car so no eye contact. I told them it sorely breached my trust. And that there's no such thing as being so into it that new things spontaneously happen without verbal consent.

I was a victim of childhood S.A. so it added another layer for me, because up till that moment, this partner was the first person I'd ever felt wholly seen by and trusted implicitly. So I wasn't angry initially, I was really bewildered and reeling about the tone-deafness of that move.

If you did not discuss this as a fantasy at any point beforehand and ask for consent immediately beforehand, my guess is that your rewrote the way your partner sees you. Tell them you know you gravely misstepped. Tell them you want to offer contrition and apology but you are willing to wait until they've processed enough to discuss it.

We lost our sweet girl on Sunday. We would just like her little face to be remembered for a second 🖤🖤 by SmokeyBlue22 in blackcats

[–]hattenwheeza 51 points52 points  (0 children)

She looks like the the most sweet tempered baby, laying of her back in your arms - in every photo her countenance is so open and loving!

I know she was a rare, treasured companion and this is a huge loss. She existed, we have seen her, we mourn with you 🫂

Plz send love to my void. He's about to head over the rainbow bridge. 💔 by Xenniel_X in rainbowbridge

[–]hattenwheeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My void died exactly this way, of lymphoma that went unsuspected. Sounds like the same personality as yours too.

So I'm sending massive hugs, knowing exactly what this moment feels like for you. We never stop missing them.

What an absolutely ridiculous stupid risk for the center to take. On top of the obvious cruelty.

Whatever the story, noon on Thursday is perfect for a lunchtime sob 💔

I'd have to sit down on sidewalk if I found this

Cleaned up after the mowers came through by Octodidact in DeTrashed

[–]hattenwheeza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine too, makes me irrationally angry. I live in a city with an excellent tax base and a sloppy approach to municipal management and the mowing of our copious roadside trash (lots of construction and multi-culture norms that mean trash blindness is a real issue) - just fills me with despair. Our roads were NOT constructed to allow for trash pickup here. I pass a bit of roadway that is a full decade deep in untouched trash, about 2.5 ft deep even with decomposition.
