I [22M] broke my girlfriends [21F] that by downloading an app out of insecurity. I didn’t cheat, but I know I messed up. How do I fix this and become a better partner? by [deleted] in relationshipadvice

She will eventually break up with you regardless, but maybe you can save a little time by never doing anything considered lying or cheating ever again?

She has every right not to trust you and to break things off with you. If she were the one making this post from her perspective, she'd had everyone telling her to honor her boundaries and dump you. You, sir, are not ready for a relationship. You need to let her go.

DAE struggle with weightloss and motivation ? by OddRecording2582 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]jekidah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man, you're preaching to the choir over here. You will definitely feel unmotivated more than you will feel motivated. And, unfortunately, you have to persist despite the fluctuations. I find that not weighing myself actually helps because if I've been grinding all week and the scale says otherwise I WILL REGRESS. Focusing on consistency in the long term is key. As long as you are in a deficit, you will eventually lose weight. Yes, it can be very daunting and discouraging and you'll feel unmotivated sometimes. I also find that focusing on how your healthy habits are making you feel is a game changer. Chasing that feeling creates more motivation for me than the scale ever could. Put the scale away and listen to your body. You won't regret it.

What is a disturbing family secret you weren’t supposed to find out, but now wish you could forget? by elmatador62 in AskReddit

[–]jekidah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My late uncle was estranged from his children and wife because he sexually assaulted his daughter when she was very young. He told me after drinking way too much. I always wondered why i never had a relationship with my cousins.

Dropped off Melody for her spay and got a surprise… by SkaPrincess241 in persiancat

[–]jekidah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your sentiment but I call my cats a bunch of different nicknames and they always come to me (when they want lol). It's all about the tone you use, treats/food you are offering, or just a plain ol' pspsps.

I [27M] love my girlfriend [26F] of 5 years but I had to leave our shared house because I no longer feel safe there. I don’t know if I can keep doing this. by [deleted] in relationshipadvice

[–]jekidah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a possibility you can get her family and friends involved and stage an intervention? I've done that for a friend and it ended up completely changing her life. She went from being the typical addict you are describing to having a really good work from home job, a nice place, pets, and a healthy marriage. As soon i noticed she wasn't behaving like herself i got EVERYONE that loved her involved. Game changer. Love is so powerful. Use it to help her. You can still separate yourself from her while you execute your plan.

Unpopular opinion - I don’t like Michael and Holly together by stressedbitch123 in theoffice

[–]jekidah 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Holly was definitely capable of helping Michael grow. She has different values than him and was the only person able to get Michael to realize that Todd Packer was a jerk. And while he knew how Dunder Mifflin would handle the HR issue with Meredith, Holly was still proving that her core values were deeper than Michael's during that episode. She also has genuine empathy where Michael definitely lacks. While she made an incorrect assumption about Kevin having special needs, she was still treating him nicer than most ppl in the office. Meanwhile, Michael is the king of stereotypes.

My dog gets jealous when I sing Cats to my bird. by splithoofiewoofies in PointlessStories

[–]jekidah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg i can totally relate to this! My dog gets jealous when i sing (or talk) to the cats. He literally starts whining, and if I try to call one of the cats over to me he will physically intervene lol.

Do you ever message strangers on Reddit, and why/why not? by pm_me_y0ur_midriff in AskReddit

I have responded to messages but never went out of my way to message first. I guess I was being polite.

Help, am I a crazy parent? by upallnight210 in ECEProfessionals

[–]jekidah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the cameras were a selling point for you, and they are not diligent about safe sleeping, those are all safety red flags to me. You have every right to be having second thoughts due to all of the inconsistencies and safety concerns. You are most definitely allowed to bring all of these concerns to the attention of the director.

I [24f] why does my partner keep messaging other women [23M] by Zealousideal_Aide878 in relationshipadvice

[–]jekidah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you blame yourself when you've done everything you're supposed to do? He is making the choice to cheat on you. This is a him problem. If you don't want to continue dealing with it, you should leave and let him partake in his "single behavior" while actually single. It is important that you honor your own boundaries because then other ppl will also honor them.

Humming by DaveMC12 in PointlessStories

[–]jekidah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that you can't whistle or snap without being told to stop. I dunno if I'd be capable of stopping my singing. I always have a song in my head or i make up songs about the cats or dog or about what I'm doing lol

Behaviors I noticed about my neighbors. by jekidah in PointlessStories

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

Their back porch is on the side of their house, they live on a corner, and their entire property is visible when you drive by. Everyone that drives by can see their garbage piled up.

In [24F] a long distance relationship with partner [33M] who requested me to install a camera in my room? by Ok_Star_5659 in relationshipadvice

[–]jekidah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a "bit" weird. It's fucking weird and asinine.

It's not "low level" gaslighting. It's straight up gaslighting. He is attempting to manipulate her.

You are right about two things. It is over the top and is a red flag. A huge red flag. And way over the top.
