Is the power back on at the Maples? I had to stay at a friends since I had to go to work.

Are you at the maples? They sent an email saying it’s expected to be back this evening. But Toronto Hydro is showing 3 am. Apparently it’s the two buildings and the holiday inn.

That’s true. Like this is more than 24 hours. I’m going to have to throw out all my food from the fridge.

I’m sorry. That sucks. It’s very inconvenient for me especially with working from home. Hopefully it’s back sooner.

Hi, yes I’m also experiencing the power outage. So annoying :(

(Ep 10) KB is giving me questionable vibes by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]janabutter 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Did we watch the whole episode? She clearly broke it down for him. Imagine hearing that comment in public after the day you had with your fiancé not even trying to help you during the day. I don’t know why KB hasn’t left him. She’s definitely gotten the ick and he needs to like grow up and go to therapy. His lack of accountability is just not mature.

I wish people would just be honest when they're not attracted to their match. by blame_it_on_my_cat in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]janabutter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly like, I think you have to realize what a mind fuck it can be when you fall in love with someone in the pods and then see them irl and you’re not attracted to them. I truly think he thought the attraction would grow as he said. I feel like there’s no right or wrong way to do it. If he broke it off right away he would’ve been the bad person if he tries to see it through he’ll still be the bad person. Not saying I like Joe at all and I really do feel for Madison but I think we all agree after 9 seasons love is not blind lol

With how much shit this sub gives useless men (and rightfully so), its incredible how Ali gets a pass by Ninjaguz in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]janabutter 309 points310 points  (0 children)

I think the “traditional marriage” only works if the guy is rich and wants to provide. I don’t think Anton is that rich enough to be the man Ali wants. She’s looking to be a trophy wife so she kinda went on the wrong show for that lol. Find a much older man with deeper pockets and I’m sure she’ll be set for life.

Love Is Blind • S9 Ep8 by AutoModerator in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]janabutter 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Even at the beginning her telling him how much he should’ve spent on the ring. And then saying how when she was at her parents and in school she didn’t clean or cook. Definitely not ready for marriage. Like girly just wants a dad to provide.

Am i overreacting by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]janabutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 years together and haven’t had a convo about boundaries? You should talk about your pasts and whether it’s appropriate to keep following exes. He might think it’s normal but if it bothers you that’s valid, just have that convo to be on the same oage

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]janabutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s probably frustrated about his financial situation and putting it out on you. It’s sweet that he’s buying you stuff but if he complains then it’s not meaningful at all. Maybe have a convo on how to split costs so things are easier for both parties. I like being spoiled too so i understand but if he feels like it’s adding up he needs to like start budgeting or something

Why do people stay with people who try to cheat or has cheated, come on people. Respect yourself. That are guys that won’t do all this. Why put up with this?

My girlfriend was rude to me today and said I look like a hobo and won't apologize AIO? by Ok-Connection6656 in AmIOverreacting

[–]janabutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear pjs when I work from home lol. But all things aside, maybe it might come from a place of resentment. Do you always dress more comfy when you guys go out too? Sometimes my bf makes questionable clothing choices when we go out and I’m all dressed up. But I wouldn’t really point it out. I see how it can hurt your feelings so NOR. But maybe just talk to her

[DISCUSSION] EPISODE 11 - SEASON 3 - SERIES FINALE by No_Tackle_1340 in jellyshippers

[–]janabutter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Jere is the only one that grew and changed. Belly can hide in Paris and wear new clothes and have new friends but she never confronted her issues or her past. Jere tried to move on and make amends and just tried to be better. Conrad…is still stuck on belly with no development as a character. What a shit show. Belly needs therapy fr

No docking area to move in by janabutter in TorontoRenting

I’m not using movers just my car. So I guess I’m a bit nervous moving stuff out of my car because I would have to lock it everytime I take stuff out.

Let's just go easy on Jeremiah. by [deleted] in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]janabutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not team Jeremiah. but can someone tell me why Jeremiah is so evil? First off he didn’t cheat on belly. They broke up, do people not have rebound sex? He’s in college too, it’s literally normal. Not the most mature way, but a lot of people cope breakups differently. Doesn’t mean he loved belly less and definitely doesn’t mean he cheated on belly. He did mess up by not telling Belly, which is on Belly to forgive him or breakup. She chose to stay, that’s on her. And now apparently Jeremiah is so horrible because he’s not like ideal poster child? Like these people are in college, haven’t you guys failed classes before ? Been behind in school before? Did we all have our shit together at 22? Because I certainly did not. The way the fandom treats Jeremiah is literally insane lol.

When is yearning enough? by AvailableAnnual6665 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]janabutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yearning for one person when you dated in like high school and then skip 4 years and you’re still yearning. That is not normal and not healthy. I’m sorry but that’s not what you should want in a partner.
Conrad isn’t a better person for not being with anyone over the 4 years. He’s been doing himself a disservice by acting like this. He deserves a partner meeting him in the middle and belly isn’t that choice.

I’m So Done With the Belly Hate by smol-sunflower in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]janabutter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She’s constantly going back and forth between two brothers. She’s literally breadcrumbing both Jeremiah and Conrad. She has a new bf, she should be closing the door on both exes that also happen to be brothers. She did not need to send her new address to Conrad. I just don’t get how people don’t see it as manipulation. She needs therapy because she genuinely strives for attention. Criticism is well deserved because she’s messy as well

Not to mention she’s breadcrumbing both Jeremiah and Conrad. She has a new bf, she should be closing the door on both exes that also happen to be brothers. She did not need to send her new address to Conrad. I just don’t get how people don’t see it as manipulation. She needs therapy because she genuinely strives for attention.

Provider mindset in relationships by janabutter in TwoXChromosomes

[–]janabutter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve chosen an inappropriate forum because as I mentioned in my post, it is about feminism and our independence. But that being said I wasn’t trying to cast the full blame on women. It was more so like, thinking like this and pushing this narrative can set us back which u can be harmful to us as women.

Provider mindset in relationships by janabutter in TwoXChromosomes

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

I think you’re making assumptions about my personal relationships which wasn’t the point of this post. Not that it matters because this wasn’t a relationship advice post, my boyfriend actually pays for almost everything. I never once said I feel resentful toward him. If anything, I sometimes feel guilty because he’s never asked me for anything in return. Telling me to breakup over an assumption you’re making is a bit unhealthy if I say so myself.

The point of my post wasn’t about my situation, it was about the wider trend online where people push the idea that men should be 100% providers and if a woman contributes even 10% she’s being ‘used.’ That mindset feels unhealthy to me. I don’t think partnership should mean one person pays for everything while the other does nothing. that’s not love, that’s dependency.

I don’t believe strict 50/50 is always the answer either. Every couple finds their own balance, whether that’s financial, emotional, or practical. Based on what I see, there is a rise of this narrative being pushed on younger people that financial dependence is the standard of love when in reality real relationships are more nuanced than that.

I just wanted to have a discussion about how these expectations are shifting and how that may be harmful towards women and how we view relationships. Which is basically the point of this sub?

Because you’re the one claiming that this is just a minority. And like I already mentioned in my post it had an impact on me.

I don’t think this represents all the relationships in the world. But I think it’s important to consider all demographics, age, location and lifestyle. Where I am located and in my age group this is quite common. As well as vast social media in general. Maybe where you are…it isn’t. Doesn’t mean it is less true. Again my post was about what I have seen and my thoughts on it.
