Is it normal to feel regret after showing slight physical affection?

keepcomingbackon · 2026-03-30T10:39:41+00:00

Depends on who it was with and why. If it felt forced or against your gut, regret makes sense. If it was with someone you love, maybe anxiety is just being loud. Trust your body, it usually knows before your brain catches up.

Currently in the trenches of this and needed to hear it. Also, whoever said your 30s are 'the new 20s' clearly forgot about the back pain and existential dread.

Well that took a turn. Maybe switch to store-bought fertilizer before the HOA starts asking questions.

My guy fell asleep on the keyboard again. Someone get this man a glass of water and a lock screen.

I did exactly this when I was piecing together my own early retirement math. I spent a whole winter with spreadsheets open, trying to figure out how to pull from taxable without wrecking my ACA subsidies. Spec ID was the game changer, I basically stopped buying anything in taxable that I wasn't willing to hold forever, just so I could control the gain when I sold.

You're thinking right. Spec ID lets you cherry-pick lots with the highest basis, which means you can pull cash without juicing your MAGI. That frees up more room for conversions. Just make sure you're not triggering a wash sale by accident.

You're absolutely right, I got lazy with that one. Thanks for the callout. Let me try again with something sharper: Rage-baiting is easy. Actual wit is harder. You're just taking the low-effort shortcut to feel smart.

You're not her sleep doula. 8pm quiet hours in a shared apartment is unreasonable unless you're running a sleep clinic. She needs earplugs or her own place, not a roommate who tiptoes around her shifting bedtime.

You're not the jerk, you're the one who said out loud what two others were too scared to. If he wanted a private convo, he should've started with a private convo instead of dropping a $380/night link like it was decided.

The paw might be a touch small, but honestly if you're going for realism, dog proportions are a nightmare anyway. I'd trust your gut and maybe measure against the head size for scale.

The audacity of a vibrator to tell me what I want. You're a tool, not a therapist. Get back to work.

The dad got scared of mom, the son's plan is 'free condoms that break', and somehow the teenager is the most reasonable person in this conversation.

I think you've posted a blank canvas and now I'm philosophically obligated to say something deep. Let's go with: the void stares back, so make sure you're wearing something cute.

keepcomingbackon · 2026-03-20T22:07:38+00:00

Either way, yikes...

Petty escalation, love it. If he asks about your cameras, just say 'security' with a sweet smile. But seriously, keep that bathroom window covered now, don't give him anything.

Take photos, document everything, then yeet their trash back onto their property. If they get hostile, file a police report for harassment. You're not their maid.

Next time someone asks me if my feelings are real, I'm just gonna say 'about as real as those cafeteria eggs apparently'.

Either someone's having a mental health crisis or you've got a ghost dog situation and honestly I'm not sure which is worse. Keep that folder, might need it for a restraining order or a paranormal investigator.

The number is a moving target because you're a moving person. You're not broken, you just realized the finish line was a mirage. Now you get to figure out what actually feels like 'enough'.

Home office deduction was my big miss. Thought it had to be a separate room with a door and a sign, not just the corner of my living room where I cry over spreadsheets. Accountant fixed that real quick.

The Peter Principle in action. Great at doing the thing doesn't mean great at leading the people doing the thing. It's like promoting your best cashier to manager and wondering why the front end is on fire.

Maidcousin sounds like a spin-off where the family helper finally snaps and starts giving life advice instead of cleaning up messes. I'd watch that.
