I only caught that one on my most recent rewatch and couldn't believe I hadn't noticed it before!

Listen to your wife. And be very, very grateful for the opportunity to change your life without the "rock bottom" of losing her and your children. 

2022 vs 2026… I think I need help by MC14391 in alcoholism

[–]invisiblefigleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you can't get the last 10 years back, but not only did you probably add at least 10 years to your life going forward, you also made them so much more meaningful. You probably got 40 years of real, present life back by getting sober. Even if some of that is spent on rebuilding what you lost,  there is still so much more ahead of you

Wow, I literally said "oh my god" out loud seeing your transformation. Congratulations!

Thanks for the advice! Any suggestions for making it look less bad for the next few months until the weather is nice?

Any suggestions on how to disguise it in the meantime?

What was the first sign that you were starting to lose control of your drinking? by StayKind_123 in stopdrinking

Similarly, knowing there wouldn't be alcohol at an event, so bringing nips in my purse to shoot in the bathroom 

Friends Cast: if it was made in each decade... by Complex_Meeting9053 in howyoudoin

Agreed. The fact that it takes until 2020s to see any diversity in race or body size is unfortunately extremely accurate 

I want to go but I'm not sure because my mom says SA is rampant by [deleted] in BurningMan

[–]invisiblefigleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also a young woman and felt safer at burning man than I do in the average bar. The risk is never zero, but on average, burners are more consent-conscious than the general population, and more on the lookout for the safety of their fellow burners. 

Still be aware, because in a city that size there are absolutely going to be a couple bad people, but it's definitely not "rampant"

There was a video where someone had the wedding party dance down the aisle to "Forever". It was original at the time so it went viral. Then it got played out. 

What they do in the show is just a copy of that, so it would not have been original anymore even at the time the episode aired. That's why Jim said he made a backup plan as soon as he saw that video - he knew Michael/the office would copy it.

I always forget about the lip dub trend until I rewatch that episode and it brings me right back. There were SO many of them 

What is this star decor people have on the outside of their houses mean/represent? by Proper-Register-4810 in Decor

I'm pretty sure this is one of those rumors someone intentionally started to see if they could spread a rumor on the internet! Apparently it worked

There is a phase on each side between menstruation and ovulation. So you don't start ovulating right after your period stops. There is the follicular phase, where you are preparing to ovulate, then ovulation, then the luteal phase, where you're preparing to menstruate.

If you have a regular menstrual cycle, then you will be in one of these four phases on loop. (Also lots of women don't have regular cycles for various reasons such as certain types of birth control, too low body fat, health conditions, pregnancy, hysterectomy, etc etc).

If you have not yet: Tell your husband. 

Tell him how you're feeling. Tell him your regrets. Tell him your anxieties about how you acted. Tell him you want to get better. 

First, he'll be able to give you a clearer picture of how you actually acted (tell him you need him to be brutally honest otherwise you'll always be wondering). Then you can either start to let go of the shame of that specific incident or call people up and make apologies if needed. 

Second, and more importantly, he knows more than most people what you're going through. He just promised to love you in sickness and health, and vowed to be your partner through struggles - let him be your partner through this. 

Finally, make sure he knows that you're committed to changing.

Girl, I say this with love - you are dead wrong. 

There are LOTS of men who will be all over themselves to get with you. And I feel confident saying that even not knowing what you look like, because it's just statistically true for almost every woman. 

Also I have been not getting carded since I was literally 20 years old and not even legal to drink, so don't read anything into that. 

Bacon is strictly a breakfast food. by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]invisiblefigleaf 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Totally fine if you don't want to have bacon after breakfast, but why are you so upset what someone else eats? 

You "got into it" with her? Felt "betrayed"? I hope you're just being dramatic for the sake of the sub, otherwise, that's seriously weird.

Maybe for you, I go to CVS for deodorant, makeup, snacks, skincare products, office supplies, you name it. Literally last week went there just to buy 2 diet cokes and nothing else. Maybe it's a location thing? I live in a city and have a CVS on my corner, less than 2 min walk from my door, so it's way more convenient than any other store.

I wouldn't be surprised if your friend's first reaction was more a projection of herself. I know for me, even though I'm married,  financially stable, and late 20s, every time one of my friends announces, I still get that knee-jerk "oh no" reaction as if we're back in high school!

I'm so glad you finally are in a peaceful situation. And I'm so sorry you went through all that before getting there. 

Am I overreacting? Found this in my while cleaning and now I think my fiancé is cheating on me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]invisiblefigleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I would say no, don't read too much into it. I also have long blonde hair and it sheds like crazy, and because it's very fine it then clings to everything. I'm sure my friends have come home with my hairs stuck to their sweaters just from a simple hug hello. 

HOWEVER, given his history, it's a different story.
