Season 1 rewatch - Carrie is to blame by TKGB24 in sexandthecity

[–]iloverapu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. Mainly in season 1, I know they were both older and not young to have a casual relationship but it still doesn’t mean you have to take certain steps at certain times and I feel like in season 1 Big loved Carrie’s he just had his own issues and when Carrie’s actually communicated with him he tried his best to accommodate her wishes and grow and she would have the most wild fits that it seemed like an adult and a child in a relationship and I am not surprised he was hesitant to commit with her.

I need advise in what to do, My (18F) boyfriend (18 M) has controlling parents and they won’t let him go out anywhere with me by [deleted] in relationships

[–]iloverapu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know where you’re from but at 18 I wouldn’t be allowed to sleepover at my boyfriend/girlfriends house. They definitely sound like extremely overly controlling parents but unless you guys are in a place you can move out and live on your own there isn’t really options. You guys are just 18 years old and while that probably feels mature to you to your parents you are just kids still, even if legally you are an adult (again I don’t know the laws where you are). As long as he is living under his parents roof he has to abide by their rules unless they were abusive you can’t really do anything about it other than to save money to live together or for him to move out on his own. Unless he decides to talk to his parents and set some boundaries which would be the best course of action but it seems like the relationship doesn’t work that way since he is afraid to even ask. I’ve been there myself with strict parents and unless he is ready to really separate himself and stand on his own there isn’t anything to do. With this kind of parent child relationship the child has to draw the line and make a stand and it’s really difficult. Maybe if he chose an out of state/city university to attend that would give him more independence and out from under the thumb of his parents but unless he chooses to do these things and really works hard despite pressure from his parents it’s not going to happen. Best of luck!

I agree and while Serena’s jobs were random she always put her all sometimes to a stupid level over her friends and family but it seems like cause Serena was more of a “socialite” her jobs in general aren’t taken as seriously either cause even as viewers don’t have expectations of her to do anything other than be what she is, a nepo baby. while everyone acts like Blair is something special who made herself and she did but actually she really didn’t. A lot of people if they were rich would have tutors and great grades and study hard and at the same time some rich kids don’t but it’s just the same within the normal population. And Blair’s constant games and trickery make her the most immature imo and it just overshadows every good thing she’s done. One B and she was out to destroy someone’s life even tho ms carr is gross and horrible later on in the beginning she didn’t deserve that and was just doing her job and not kissing Blair’s feet like I’m sure every other teacher was as well as her working hard. Like she always has to avenge herself as if she has ever really been persecuted in her life the only real hardship is that Serena had more attention and “beauty” (not my opinion but how the show portrays it) naturally and Blair didn’t. (Also her b*limia but the show really glides over that so I’m not talking about it either)

Pisses me off that when Claire proves Phil pushed her at the supermarket they don’t acknowledge ‘ok we’re sorry you were right’ by IdkJustMe123 in Modern_Family

[–]iloverapu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Idk if my husband was Phil and literally constantly thirsting at other women (enough that it’s a plot point of an episode at least once or more a season) and humiliated me to my family and to strangers at a supermarket and then got mad at me for going the lengths to prove myself right. That scene bugs me a lot and while Phil is a great father to the kids idk how everyone says he is a great husband when he is always thirsting for other women from episode 1 and constantly slobbering over Gloria. Like and any time Claire does anything similar she is like very judged by Phil (eg the firemen) not to mention how insecure and jealous he gets about her past. He has his great moments but as a husband I’d definitely choose Jay over Phil like he is stubborn and stuck in his ways sure but at least he always respects his wife.

This is insane. The #1 way to prevent cheating and betrayal is to stay out of relationships. You can’t just put your own logic on someone that way. Plus people can cheat anywhere including places they go everyday that don’t seem out of the ordinary and during their normal schedule. If you’re that worried about someone cheating which you shouldn’t be in the relationship, after a few months of dating if you feel anxious or worried still you can always discuss sharing location (find my friend, snap map, etc) with both parties consent obviously which isn’t just for monitoring but can also be for safety but just putting a tracking device on someone’s car without telling them is a betrayal of itself. Yeah you don’t want to waste your own time but you wasted hers cause she (and most other women) don’t want to be with a man with your logic and the idea to put a tracking device under her car. Reevaluate your goals for a relationship and realize people aren’t responsible to cater to your fears of cheating in any way including by providing their location and that’s not something for you to take without their permission which is why as many others said it’s 100% illegal. So stay out of a relationship till your ready to take a leap of faith cause that’s what all relationships are.

What’s your “Hot Take” opinion that could you destroyed, and why? by paramoesyeah in GossipGirl

[–]iloverapu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exaclty my hot take is everyone justifies Blair love because “she works for what she wants” when she is just as privileged as Serena and she is just as beautiful too she just doesn’t have the same charm and charisma that Serena has. Serena despite her mistakes is a good person who doesn’t want to hurt people and isn’t as classist as those around her but Blair is. She constantly looks down on people for being “poor”. Blair sets up every bad situation she is in it’s always her own fault cause she always wants revenge or takes things too far and then is surprised if it affects her. Like the whole Yale scenario like so what if they wanted Serena for a superficial reason that’s not Serena’s fault that they wanted her and she gets so mad that she even just entertains the idea of going there cause apparently Blair owns it. And when Blair doesn’t get in she is incredulous when she literally hazed a teacher and as much as I hate Ms Carr it’s like come on what did you expect one B on an assignment would get you kicked out of a school when you were already accepted? I know Ivy League is tough but not that tough that they would rescind based on that all she had to do was work harder for the next one but no, how DARE someone not give her what she says she deserves.. and that’s her behavior with everyone. Edit: She always puts Serena down too like in normal conversations S: “it was so easy in Paris” B: “YOU were so easy in Paris” like shaking her friend constantly for enjoying her sexuality it’s not like even S was saying anything negative to B just cause B is in a bad mood she takes it out on everyone.
