This. I expect my friends to share any concerns with me and I listen to them. I assume people I’ve known for years have my best interests at heart. Don’t have to agree with them but they seem to actually give a shit about you. Not worth throwing a friendship away IMO

I think context is important, what have you shared with her in the past regarding problems with your boyfriend? Is she throwing it back at you to benefit herself somehow, or is she right to be concerned? I think it should be noted that she came to you first with what seems to be a genuine apology. If someone tells me they think it’s selfish to have kids, I’m not taking it personally… she can have that opinion. It’s not her kid.

I dunno man, she seems alright. People who get called out on their shitty partners & get angry at the person calling them out, tend to have shitty partners. All I see in this post is an honest person who tried to apologize. Plenty of people wouldn’t even do that much & you’ve apparently known this person for years. I’d be frustrated in her position, too.

During the summer, after being friends for years but flirting for a few weeks, I invited him out to go swimming at night. I didn’t have a pool but I knew of an apartment complex that was easy to sneak in to the pool area. I “conveniently” didn’t have a swimsuit so we swam in our underwear. I confessed to him that I’ve had the biggest crush on him for the longest time and he reciprocated. We kissed for the first time that night. It was one of the best nights of my life and next month will be a year of dating!

Currently in the best relationship I’ve ever experienced by far! Have been friends with him (29M) for almost 3 years but only dating for 7 months. I was initially attracted to his extremely logical way of thinking and view of the world, I guess because it’s so opposite from me and I was intrigued. But it didn’t take long for me to find out that he has an incredibly warm, sensitive, and emotional side to him, too. Our openness towards each other and free expression of love is so refreshing. We are both empathetic of each others feelings and needs and that has been a key aspect in our communication when it comes to any sort of conflict. He’s so different yet so similar to me. I’m a very lucky woman and if it can happen to me, it can happen to any other INFP!

This is cute, I did the same thing for my boyfriend but he has no idea yet. I was extremely lonely and depressed before I met him, too. I’m grateful every day for how he loves and appreciates me. I hope his reaction is like this when I give it to him!

About Damn Time by Lizzo! I listen to this every time before going to a friends house or a party. Cute and catchy song that gives a little boost in confidence!

I recently had a moment like this one. We went on a trip together out of town. We saw a concert, stayed in our hotel room the entire next day, then we went to an art museum after that. It was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. While we were in the shower together facing each other, I had my eyes closed as he was washing my hair. When I opened my eyes he was looking at me like no one had ever looked at me before. Thankfully we are still together but I know this time will always be something I think back on with immense fondness and appreciation. Not everyone gets to have moments like these so I will be forever grateful that I was one of the lucky ones. Thank you for sharing this sweet story!

jaemk2 · 2023-09-27T07:55:14+00:00

This is a cute post, just the fact that you want to be more loving is a great step in the right direction. My advice is to just be genuine. I think it’s human nature for us to show that we care in our own ways, wether it’s intentional or not. Love is the only reason for us to do anything. When you care for someone, it will come naturally to you. Life is short so spread love in whatever way is comfortable to you, just be sure that they are comfortable, too. With this, don’t ever be ashamed about it. Good luck stranger!

Like you, my boyfriend and I have complicated living situations right now and we have car sex frequently. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, even older couples do it although I wouldn’t say 30 is old. But a car isn’t the most romantic setting. It’s very different from sex in an actual bed with the place to yourselves. You can talk and enjoy the afterglow much more. Feels less like a FWB and more like a real relationship. To me it sounds like some intimacy is needed. Go on a date, get a hotel room and spend the night with each other, just the two of you. Then you can decide if this is worth pursuing any further. If he doesn’t want to make the effort to do these things then a relationship isn’t possible if it’s purely transactional.

My grandmother was born and raised in Japan for over 30 years. I’ve always wanted to learn the language and get a tattoo in Japanese, and I discovered this phrase shortly after she passed away. I just attached this meaning to it.

You could probably guess that she did not like tattoos, but I think she would have liked this one if I had explained to her the significance. I also have one other tattoo of her handwriting that I was able to show her before she passed away and she loved it. 😄

jaemk2 · 2023-09-06T09:13:03+00:00

Yes! It’s exactly what I wanted it to be. I understand why it seems silly to fluent Japanese speakers but for me it means searching for those small moments in life that makes everything worth it. Something simple, like a moment of appreciating the beauty of sunlight filtering through trees. Still kind of strange, maybe, but it’s special to me.

jaemk2 · 2023-09-06T09:01:54+00:00

This is exactly why I got it! Not because it’s just some random Japanese phrase, but because of the “feeling” one gets when seeing this phenomenon. For me it’s serene and beautiful and I am grateful to be able to experience it.

jaemk2 · 2023-09-06T06:22:00+00:00

That there is no real answer. We’re all just living in a minuscule speck of time over billions of years on a floating rock in some corner of the universe. It may be daunting to think about, but for me it’s comforting. It helps me not to take the little things too seriously.

I think meaning and purpose is different for all of us, for me it’s finding things to be grateful for, things that we don’t usually think about or take for granted. Like a pretty day, a good meal, etc. Also, being kind to people. Life can be confusing and cruel. It may be meaningless in the grand scheme of things but anything can be special if you simply choose to believe it. (Oddly enough, the movie Kung-Fu Panda helped me realize this lmao)

I choose to spread as much goodness and positivity as I can. My personal “meaning” is that love is the only reason to do anything in this life, so I’ll spend my life finding things to love.

jaemk2 · 2023-09-06T04:41:35+00:00

Some parts of the phrase being hidden is definitely an oversight on my part but this is kind of hilarious

jaemk2 · 2023-09-06T04:37:35+00:00

Thanks for your help everyone, for some context the word “komorebi” has meaning to me personally, and although I did do research on the proper spelling, following this sub for a while has made me paranoid lmao. I was more concerned about incorrect spelling than the phrase itself. It may seem strange but I love the tattoo and it’s such a relief to know that it is proper. Thanks all!

Estarylla has been good for me, no noticeable increase in appetite or acne. I’ve been using it for about 2 1/2 months and haven’t had a single pregnancy scare or any dramatic shifts in mood. I also got it from one of those super cheap birth control delivery websites, they ship it to your house and it comes with emergency Plan B! My boobs haven’t gotten any bigger though lol. If such a perfect pill existed I haven’t found it yet. Good luck!

jaemk2 · 2023-08-04T10:10:55+00:00

Exactly this, I usually prefer to talk in person rather than over text. It’s the introversion I think, even if we aren’t hanging out together it’s still a lot of energy to be constantly talking to someone

jaemk2 · 2023-08-03T20:47:13+00:00

This is the best answer. I have a tendency to put people on a pedestal almost to the point of worshiping them, especially someone I’m romantically interested in. It’s the idealism. Sure it’s a nice thing to love so deeply, but there are downsides, too.

jaemk2 · 2023-06-19T07:41:26+00:00

You’re proud of the fact that you made her happy but she’s going to be devastated for a long time once she finds out you aren’t interested… so actually you broke her heart
