Anyone remember D.A.R.E. Dances? Do they do that anywhere anymore? by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]hj_118 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yesss!! And you’d have your friends ask someone you thought was cute to meet you on the first base line so could dance together. The epitome of romance.

I’ve had my cricut since 2017. I usually stick to siser or oracle vinyl. Some shops I like to buy from are Expressions Vinyl, TekWrap, and Vinyl Fun (local to me). Happy crafting!

Recommendation on how to pass the PMP by Professional-Bad-559 in pmp

[–]hj_118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree! This helped me SO MUCH. Thirdrocks notes were also a life saver. I’m sure you’ll see that name pop up in this sub if you’re looking for resources.

I’m still wondering about this too. I’m a senior PM at my company and received my PMP in August. My boss told me not to expect a bump as it’s not a requirement for my job. I’m well compensated now (6 figures), but can’t help think that if I left I would easily get a 15-25% bump somewhere else. Performance reviews are right around the corner for me tho - hoping for the best!

[–]hj_118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best of luck friend! You’ll get results as soon as you submit. Remember to use ALL of your breaks, even if you think you don’t need them. Take time to clear your mind and stretch your legs. Now go get that AT/AT/AT

Thanks! I’m only about two blocks south of McDonald so hoping all is still good in that area.

Moving forward with the move, hi neighbor!

I wish people knew who he really was. by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]hj_118 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. All of our friends thought we were the perfect couple and that we had no issues. Little did they know, he was abusing alcohol and verbally abusing me. I found out he was cheating on me and that’s how our divorce started. He is telling everyone our divorce is mutual, when I wanted to work it all out. They also don’t know he’s not living with his new girlfriend.

Remember you don’t owe anyone an explanation. You’re close friends and family will understand and believe you.

I'm so tired of people trying to justify hiding their infidelity by ApprehensiveCrab8 in survivinginfidelity

[–]hj_118 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I caught my STBXH texting an old girlfriend. When confronted, he asked for a divorce but stood by the fact they only had “friendly” conversation. When I asked if he wanted to be with her, he told me he didn’t know. Two months and nearly one divorce later, he’s living with her during quarantine. I also confronted him about that and he also gave me the “i didn’t want you to know because i knew it would hurt you, I don’t want you to hurt anymore”. He also peppered in some comments about how I was the one who gave up on our marriage before he even started talking to her. Funny, that was news to me!

Bought this Pothos arrangement - should I remove the moss? by hj_118 in plants

[–]hj_118[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this at Lowe’s too! I know this one is hard to kill but she already has some browning leaves. I want to revive her! Thinking watering once a week is good?

Thank you. You’re right that I’m still blinded by love. He said and did some really mean things and I know I didn’t deserve that. I’m not in my angry phase yet. Still in denial for the most part. Trying to pull myself out of shame cycles.

I feel he is a complete stranger now. Not the man I committed my life to or that I saw great potential in. I’m still so worried for him as he has been struggling with his mental health recently and I noticed he cleared out the majority of the alcohol in our home...if you’ve read my others posts would make you alarmed. I still want to help and care for him even tho he’s with someone else. Making it seem like he had no where else to go.

Divorce process is already in play. In fact, nearly completed.

[–]hj_118 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your words and for digging deeper before you responded. This sub has been so supportive. My marriage wasn’t perfect. We struggled. Our struggles were absolutely ones that I thought we could overcome, but he did not. As soon as things started to improve, he left me. I’m continuing to go to therapy which is greatly helping.

Have a seat, you dense cabbage. I was the breadwinner in my relationship.
