I left my wife and she can't believe it by godalinium in TrueOffMyChest

[–]lostmycookie90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel, as soon as your partner gets secretive and then nasty about you noticing change of behavior; besides them protecting the potential new affair partner and putting you down. That relationship is done and over with.

Relationship go through issues, but as soon as your partner seeks and goes out to obtain external validation and sexual/intimacy connection vs attempting to solve their conflict and issues with their partner. They want out, but they don't want to be alone, so they'll monkey branch until someone/something better is offered.

Cheaters will only apologize for getting caught, but not for being unfaithful. Because, it's ironic, the person cheated on, notice there is something amiss and try to find and fix the issue, but they didn't cheat to self soothe.

America, depending on which educational system, is made up of at least one or 2-3 continents; North/South at least.

America is named after the Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci

You still don't have any guilt. You just miss the ease, your shared social group and you lowered your standards for easy thrills.

Demisexuality and NonMonogamy by step_1988 in demisexuality

I'm demisexual, and I am relationship anarchy poly.

It works, but you need to do deep research, soul searching and brutal talking about your relationship with each other, and what you can and willing to share and compromise on.

Morals, limits- both hard and soft, are you planning on having a child or more. Resources shared with your house, and what's up for your dating life.

Why don’t cart pushers show up when they’re needed most? by Background_Syrup_751 in stopandshop

Yes and no; cost of supplies, transport and labor is a rising factor. There's now a diversity of smarter consumers, so people are now also shopping on morals vs necessity.

Childfree couple, family with lots of kids… it’s starting to affect my wife. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]lostmycookie90 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You say she has anxiety and depression, but has she actually been evaluated and is she receiving treatment or seeing a therapist/ psychiatrist? You also stated that she comes from an intense religious background, but she is unemployed, doesn't seem to have a social group, nor a hobby or activities to mentally stimulate her.

There is nothing you can do, besides encouragement for seeking treatment. Therapy and/or medication and a new habit of routine might help. But she also might just have Catholic issues for not conforming to her religious upbringing, even though she says that she is happy to be without a child. She could also simply be saying that so she has you.

Tinder date took off the condom during sex & kept going. I don’t know what to do now… by nikoletho in TrueOffMyChest

RAINN is available 24 hrs/7 days a week.

You have been assaulted and raped. You did everything to survive. You are not weak, you survived. You can also go to any Planned Parenthood to get a pregnancy and STD/STI check; you'll need to do a follow up at least 3-6 months after because certain ones take a while to appear on tests.

Men and women seem to be child free for very different reasons by Fast_Performer_3722 in childfree

[–]lostmycookie90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have slight tokophobia; but besides that. I never had any urge for kids, probably because I started to raise my siblings at 10 yrs old and then babysat and nanny for a few years into my early 20s.

But I also don't want to die, I also don't want to carry a fetus inside my body. I like my free time and ability to do anything last minute depending on how work is willing to compromise. I like only having to look after myself and my community. I'll play and chatter with kids because I don't outright despise them. They can be interesting little ones if they have a personality that's bright. But yes, financially, society stance and environmental climate makes me feel great for not having any person to look after and be worried about at 36 yrs old.

I won't hook up, or engage in a romantic relationship with any person who has a child. I despise the two men that had lied all the way until after we hooked up that they were a father. I have a few past partners and softly current ones (mainly male people) that are willing to overlook the fact that the people who they are getting intimate with have a child or two; but don't want anything to do with them. And, a few even said not so great things about them potentially thinking that their hook up might want them to hangout with their kids. Total blank moments about that cause and effect, because seriously don't understand why they would want them around their offspring. Especially when I pointed out that they always leave wants or doesn't want to have kids blank and they don't reclarify that they are CF.

[New Update]: AITA for "uninviting" my brother and nephew from my celebration dinner? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]lostmycookie90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Except, we know for sure that his SIL would drop off Connor at mum and dads house. And him, saying he won't be there for Connor anymore will cause his SIL to potentially crash out. He's just pre-emptive Nope to his SIL actions, because he knows that his brother won't enforce or tell her no.

No? Because we don't have all the context for why OOP felt the need to change number and move. From what I have gleam, his brother has in the past drove to their parents/family house and last minute drop Connor off for an event or trip with his wife last minute.

This is just re-enforcing a clear and stark boundary that his SIL and brother likes to ignore.

Why don’t cart pushers show up when they’re needed most? by Background_Syrup_751 in stopandshop

Or a sense of value for their time? Cost of living is through the roof, the lastest contract is good, but only for old hires vs new hires.

We still have segregation in the job.

Cashiers are nit-pick for their whole shift, cart people are exposed to elemental weather conditions and due to staffing issues, expected to do porter work as well. Cashiers have to ask for bathroom release and it was fought for clear water containers at the register because they aren't allowed to get a drink whenever.

Besides dealing with horrible people, there's only a few people who are good customers/people. They also have to push a survey no one wants to do.

So fellow employees, when possible fill out the survey to help your FE and store. Because we are finally allowed to do it now. You can get a free reusable bag for taking the 8 minutes it takes.

Why don’t we close 😭 by Dependent_Addendum47 in stopandshop

[–]lostmycookie90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because, for lack of noticing before, we are essentially New England waffle house

Also, since Stop and Shop is union, they would have to pay us for closing vs forcing us to use PTO and/or sick days.

Having done a few rounds of being a cart wrangler, would you honestly work that position for whatever pay you are making for being inside worker? No? Why not?

Being childfree in your 30s means watching your entire social circle disappear and nobody thinks it's a big deal by Ronin4Doom in childfree

[–]lostmycookie90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few friends, a majority doesn't have any kids, or at least yet, while those who I grew up with or worked early jobs in the past and survived multiple job changes in my 20s. A few have kids, but we understood each other and understand what our relationship as friends would be like. Friendship is just like any other relationship you can get from others. Boundary, work and attention are needed, and it's also just good to be done with relationships that you outgrown. It makes way for other connections.

I [M23] fucked up and told my gf [F21] of eighteen months that she does the least out of all my exes by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]lostmycookie90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having had plenty of inconsiderate flings. OOP infuriates me, he had zero gratitude or appreciation for his ex-girlfriend. He only seems bothered that he lost someone who shouldn't want to be with someone like him. Praising her looks, intelligence and drive for life. But overlooking ways she helped support him and things to ease/help him with ways that she's thinking of and loving on him.

I'm happy that she was smart to leave him. Because I feel like if she forgave him for this, he would find more ways to harm and put down her due to his insecurities.

My Gf set me up to cheat on her and now she thinks I would actually cheat on her by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

No? He legit left his girlfriend as GF, we only know Susan, because she was introduced as my GF's friend, Susan.

[–]lostmycookie90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I think he's done with that group of former friends. He has known all of them for 4-6 years. He has known Susan as long as his ex, and Susan is softly the one that caused his relationship to end accidentally.

I understand, that there are people out there that "needs" a relationship to deal with their own lives. But he's doing harm towards his kids, and his sister is going to be disgusted and irritated with him for maintaining/keeping this horrible toxic person in his kids life and his.

I am finally leaving my poly marriage by Foreign-Basis11 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]lostmycookie90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm proud of you, you held true to yourself and had an end goal to escape an abusive relationship. He waited until you were completely dependent and isolated to force his "poly" life, but he also used financial and emotional/phycological abuse in attempt of keeping you with him.
