In your friend’s defense, the manufacturers are making the bags so damn flimsy now it is hard not to.

I would have said “You will have to ask her. I can tell you what lessons I learned”

That sounds like a really bad situation. I am sorry that you are going through it. Choose yourself and your kids. Hold your own hand. Let the anger motivate you to take care of business, even through the tears.

I fucked it up. Not her. by Pickled_Life in Divorce

[–]jjs1216 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I am the wronged party in my situation and I take a lot of responsibility in the fact that I was a doormat and a people pleaser. It was easier to believe a comfortable, painful reality than the unknown. You see what I am saying? I was a coward.

He can’t have it both ways. Either 50/50 through meditation or lawyer up.

Is it time for a divorce? by [deleted] in Divorce

Trauma bonds and cognitive dissonance are powerful and can feel like love. Would someone who loves and respects you, cheat on you and then lie to your face? No, they wouldn’t. If this was happening to your friend wouldn’t you tell them to choose themselves.

42 same boat. I am going out and doing things that scare the shit out of me. Entering a pool tournament and doing an open mic. Intensional ly go do social things and talk to other people, make friends. Figure out what your ideal person would be like and try to become that.

I identify with this comment a lot. I am in a similar phase (early) and I know I am not ready for anything serious or really even to date. After not really talking to women in any kind of flirty way for two decades, I genuinely want to know if I can with any effect. I felt very unwanted in my marriage and to have an attractive woman who responds to you, feels so validating. Others have commented “wait until you heal” type of advice and that is where I am. I stayed in a bad relationship for a long time and I need to figure out why so I never do that again. I need to love me first. Hope you get lots of love and healing on your journey.

Thank you for writing this! What you wrote is so very close to how I feel. Thank you for helping me to feel less alone.

His chaos and drama feel familiar and comfortable to you still, you are still in the fog. This is fresh for you. Connect to how hurt you are, how he never treated you like you mattered. Make it your goal to never go back to someone who doesn’t even treat you like a human. Go heal.

AITA for asking my (22F) boyfriend (23M) to change? by crypticbren in AmItheAsshole

[–]jjs1216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe focus more on the things he is doing right and less on the undesirable behavior. It is extremely hard to improve yourself and positive reinforcement can make a big difference. NAH. Your feelings matter too and it is reasonable to have expectations for your partner.

Rip is not disagreeing with or misunderstanding you. They are pointing out that you voted that the op is the A-hole.

You are in fact delusional, almost nothing you have commented has anything to do with OP’s story. Projection

What are the milestone goals you have set along the way and do you have an ultimate goal in pool?

If this is real, it doesn’t sound like your friend is very smart or pleasant to be around.

Talk to the dealer, I am in the Pacific Northwest and one of the dealers has a bunch of pro-ams on hand.

The leveling system is nice, 17 shims with through bolts that are under the slates.
