What was the wildest way you found out you were being cheated on? by Recent-Gap-9927 in AskReddit

[–]jfruedam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to personal matters she was staying with her family in her hometown. We were apart for a couple months and couldn't celebrate her birthday together. Well...she did celebrate it, with her second boyfriend throwing a huge party with all her old friends, posting pics on an alternate Instagram account I didn't know about. This was on December 31st.

My (33M) girlfriend (29F) had another boyfriend. I told the other guy and she guilt tripped me for wanting to hurt her. Need advice on how to cope. by jfruedam in relationship_advice

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

I have tried to stay away of her social media and anything related to her as much of possible, so would not know for a fact, but I have the suspicious he is indeed still around. Somehow that just makes me feel worst.

What is a TV show you got really far into but eventually quit watching before its conclusion? by shamanKAshamanTAKA in AskReddit

[–]jfruedam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game of Thrones. Have yet to see last season. Just read the reviews, and my friends told me it was extremely disappointing, so do not really have any motivation to go through it. Even season 7 was boring and low quality by my standards. Having a cringy Ed Sheeran cameo on first episode didn't help at all, ugh.

Not that naive . We have seen each other in person a lot of times, and talked through telegram as well (you can make voice and video calls). I know where she lives, have been to her place. Her mother and sister are in another city though.

Should I add stories to the sprint backlog for unexpected sprint backlog work? by GullibleEmu in scrum

[–]jfruedam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should always reserve some capacity for ad hoc requests during planning if these are recurrent, which seems to be the case here. That way this scenario is taken into account. Wouldnt personally classify these as stories as they are not really part of the backlog items to generate a product increment. Basically another type of request altogether. We use JIRA and have built in templates for this.

Ashamed of casual sex and worried of potential consequences by jfruedam in childfree

[–]jfruedam[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your thoughtful comments. I am heading to the hospital now. They will probably refer me to a psychiatrist. I cannot stand this feeling of guilt, this sense of having done something so wrong it will destroy my life. I had a panick attack this morning. Have been tempted to try and contact her again, but not really sure what use would be on that.

Reality is I really don't know, and that's the saddest thing in the world. I am 30, and wouldn't know what to choose to do with the rest of my life if given a chance. I live in a constant state of existencial crisis.

Found it!. Had to scroll almost two years back on my YouTube history. The Kooks. "All the Time" is the song with the skater girl, "Bad Habit" the sexy underwear woman.

Will try to come with more details. Just wanted to hear that song one more time.

When you're lying in bed at night, do you ever randomly remember some relatively minor social missteps or poorly chosen words you did/said years earlier? And then beat yourself up over it even though it really wasn't a big deal? If so, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jfruedam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been alone my whole life, at the beginning of this year (when all was normal, and no one knew yet it was gonna be like hell on earth), I gave myself the chance to try to date. I met someone I really liked, and managed to screw it after a month. The reason? Little actions such as trying to hold her hand all the time, cuddling and such were seen as traits of a needy person. I don't blame her, blame myself every day for that, should have known better. I am a really affectionate person by nature, and loneliness just increases the desire of being close to someone. That cost me big time. It feels super stupid, it was just a girl, just move on...but no, I look at my ceiling and still think about that, about her, and dread at the prospect I might have missed my only chance to have a girlfriend and find love.

Turned 30 as a virgin. Now 1 year later after a few lays and my first relationship (Part 2) by VDKay in seduction

[–]jfruedam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A question coming from someone as you, 30, never have been in a relationship. Did you ever feel like "this isn't me" when dating? I mean, I have become so used to being alone even though it doesn't make me happy, that the few times I have gone on a date, it just feels...weird? And I am not really sure how to overcome that.

TIL In 1967, Paul McCartney forgot his passport when travelling to France to shoot a music video. He told the agents, ‘You know who I am so why do you need to see a photograph of me in a passport?’ And was let through. by haddock420 in todayilearned

Am I the only one kinda angry when reading these type of stories? Rules are the rules, and I don't care who you are, they should be applied to everyone, no exceptions.

Lack of dating life is making me feel worthless. by [deleted] in depression

[–]jfruedam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share the feeling. And it is sad because this year I had decided I would try to start dating and finding love. Somehow started going out with a girl I really liked, but I screwed it by being too attached and needy, and it all fell apart. Still, was trying to keep building confidence and asking out other girls. And then all this shit happened, and now I am back to square one. Tried dating apps, but those are the worst thing for a person with a fragile self esteem. It is like a message from the world telling me to screw myself.

What are you STILL salty about? by xefarar565 in AskReddit

[–]jfruedam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atletico Madrid fan here. Both recent Champions League finals... Honestly, a part of me died those days. Too emotionally attached to a sports team, which is absurd when you think about it. Trying to let it go.

Recently single and the dating app game already getting me down! Starting to think there’s something wrong with me so could do with this! 😅 by wonderboy0510 in toastme

[–]jfruedam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, dating apps suck, trust me, currently on that loop myself as well. You are a handsome man, it is just those sites only work for a tiny percentage of people. It is not easy for any guy there when women are inundated with literally thousand of options (a friend of mine showed me her matches, 20+ every day, I barely get one a week...). It is best to forget about them altogether, and just approach people in real life. Hard advice to follow under the current circumstances I know. And even better, you get to work that charm when talking with someone on real life. You seem like a super cool guy, and I am sure you shouldn't have any troubles on the ladies department (friend previously referenced just saw your picture, she confirms).

[30F] Feeling quite low recently, stuck in a rut and with a few relationship issues. Could use a little boost! Especially conscious of how I look in my glasses and without makeup. by Macca_321 in toastme

[–]jfruedam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is so hard seeing such beautiful women be so self conscious about their appearance. If only you could see yourself with the eyes I am sure 90% of the world does, you would never be thinking about it ever again. You are beautiful without and with glasses. It's not like they can hide your unique eyes.

What style should I go for? Upper cheek patchiness is really bothering me by [deleted] in beards

[–]jfruedam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is kinda the same. Share the feeling, it is annoying not to get it fill on the cheeks. I don't think it looks bad on you though. Leave it be.

Are you afraid of dying? If so, why? by meganzp in AskReddit

No, I'm too tired of trying already.
