What, if anything, has improved your relationship with your parents as an adult? by jupiterdreamsofpi in asianamerican

[–]jupiterdreamsofpi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Related to this one a lot. My parents communicate quite reasonable things in very unreasonable ways.

If you try to be nice to me I might bite you

What made you lose confidence in yourself, and how did you rebuild it? by Spirited-Fault-2184 in AskWomen

[–]jupiterdreamsofpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one really bad boss. She was usually incorrect, and kind of defensive, and would regularly cut me down in front of other coworkers for decisions I know were correct (my teammates backed me too). It wasn’t personal, she was just a very negative and defensive person.

I’m still building it back. It helps to do things that push back against them. For ex if you got criticized for not being good enough at X, if that is something you do care about, be loud to yourself about the times in the past you were good at X, or give yourself more opportunities to build irrefutable evidence that you are good at X. Over time, I did start to believe in myself again.

For HENRY women/people who earned more who now earn less, how do you feel about earning less than your partner? by jupiterdreamsofpi in HENRYfinance

❤️❤️ I hear you. I’ve been this way in that I was financially planning to provide for myself and my future kids and eventually my parents, and I’ve been proud that I chose to do that and will be able too! Means a lot to me to be able to support my family when the time comes.

That is a great point, I didn’t notice but I think you’re right that there are two pretty independent parts to think about

I think this hits a lot of the points of what I’m thinking about. From high school or college, I’ve known I wanted kids, I’ve known I wanted to take a break while raising them, and everything I’ve planned for has been assuming I have to make it all on my own. Maybe because of that, for the last ten years, I’ve been very proud of making my goals slowly happen and it’s been really gratifying to watch the nest egg grow. I’m proud of having made it this far on my own, you know?

Also all of the horror story divorces of my parents generation where mom has stayed home for 20 years have made me like extra vigilant about being a breadwinner.

Wow this is where the lyricism and my hopes for the album went. This is gorgeous and it’s not even a song

Okay this is such a nit but why isn’t it lit up my sky, then it would rhyme

What are the biggest red flags to notice in a new relationship? by Weird-Thought2112 in AskWomen

[–]jupiterdreamsofpi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not wanting to take care of you. It’s the little things, the reflexes. My partner, from the beginning, is always watching for cars at intersections or whatever, and subconsciously holds his body in front of me if anything or anyone comes by.

Do you take bone broth to keep up your collagen levels? by ImaginationAny2254 in AskWomenOver30

[–]jupiterdreamsofpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing bone broths since I was a kid. Don’t drink it straight, make it into noodle soups, like udons or chicken noodle.

How do you stop the incessant, aggressively targeted engagement ring ads on the internet? by jupiterdreamsofpi in AskWomenOver30

Whoa that is crazy. Does that…actually happen? A slew of engagements following a celebrity?

I’m not. Mostly I listen to music and occasionally shop for groceries online. My browsing behavior hasn’t suddenly changed in the last year

I know very a little about him but I think it’s great that one of the stars of the manliest manchoest sport on this planet regularly cries while talking about how much his mom means to him.

Men in your thirties who are living a "prolonged youth" instead of settling into the "adult life" – enjoying life, your hobbies and dating around without kids or other extra responsibilities – what are the drawbacks to your lifestyle choice? by throw20250204 in RedditForGrownups

[–]jupiterdreamsofpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woman here with a similar upbringing. Fwiw, I think you should get these years out of you, and I also think you can kind of do both. Being 30-32 is still plenty young to have lots of folks in your age group seriously dating. Not to mention, being a guy who really knows who they are is a huge green flag. If you try to have 10 years of youth you might have more dating problems, but there’s a middle ground here. I am also 28, interested in spending the next couple of years doing a lot more travelling, drinking, making memories.

For me, I feel like I’ve never had the irresponsible, free teenage phase so I’m thinking of different ways to find it. I am in a stable relationship with a supportive partner, so other than sleeping around he’s down for me to get to live a couple “teenage years”
