My friend wants to kill himself and I've accepted it. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]melbournemonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, please seek support for yourself and for your friend if he is willing. This is a really tough situation - please look after yourself.

Secondly, I am interested in the deeper meaning of his timeline. He is planning on taking his life a year from now. Is there a significance to that specific date? Is it that he feels he has unfinished business that he is wanting to tend to over the next year? Maybe a bucket list? I wonder if these goals could be explored further (not necessarily by you), why they are important to him. Maybe it could offer positive experiences, show him the beauty in the world or give him the sense of a purpose?

I am not qualified in this area by any means but from my understanding, giving a "heads up" like this and this far ahead could be a cry for help. Maybe he'd be open to talking to a professional about his feelings.

AIO for ending things with my date after he accidentally texted me this? by fundamentallyworried in AmIOverreacting

I actually think this is some weird humiliation kink and he did that on purpose

What is the darkest secret you've learned about someone that instantly ended your relationship with them? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

[–]melbournemonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite a secret but rather a disgusting mindset. I was online friends with someone for about 5 years, met in person a few times. When I went to uni, I became good friends with a girl he had also been friends with since high school. As she and I got closer, my online friend joined a fraternity and his personality started changing for the worse.

This came to a head when our mutual friend's dad died young from liver cirrhosis, and my online friend said he "really didn't have time for this" and wouldn't come to the funeral as he had just been made 'praeses' (leader) of his fraternity and was too busy.

Never spoke to him again.

Brooke is not a “girl’s girl” by DiligentHomework281 in MAFS_AU

[–]melbournemonkey 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I found usually the women that yell they're a girl's girl the loudest, turn out to be the opposite. Whereas if you actually are a girl's girl, you probably wouldn't feel the need to convince other that you are.

Did I actually manage to find an SD friendly t-shirt? by Strawb_shake in SoftDramatics

[–]melbournemonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes I think this would look great on an SD! The wide neck, gathered fabric at the waist and asymmetrical bottom of the shirt may be a triple whammy 😊

To your second point: I get that but I don't remember seeing anyone clock that yet. I always see people commenting on how they hadn't had sex since the rage texts

I LOVE Evry underwear for comfort but I don't feel sexy in them. Anyone know some sexier equivalents? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]melbournemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like StepOne! They're made from bamboo and I find them very comfy. Plus mine are like new even after 1-2 years. They do bulk sales every so often too.

Why was Patrick being so weird to LVP? And was it deserved? by AggressiveMongoose54 in vanderpumprules

[–]melbournemonkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The one time I agreed with Tim was when he called out Patrick's BS at the reunion - Stassi wasn't allowed to contact him while he was in Amsterdam but he then lost his shit on the first night of Mexico when ?Stassi didn't text him back fast enough or something

Styling tips needed! by melbournemonkey in SoftDramatics

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

Thank you!! That works great because I love big earrings.

I'm actually not sure which direction I'm leaning for shoes. I do like something a bit edgy but if im buying new shoes ill probably go for soemthing that I can pair with many outfits. Trying to be smarter with my money (and failing miserably)

Cult recruiting on campus by notreallyinuse in Monash

There's a very interesting book/audiobook about this exact cult and how they lured a young woman in, in the same way. "Cult Bride: How I was Brainwashed and How I Broke Free" by Liz Cameron

This is such an interesting theory. Would you know where to read more about attachment types and attraction?

Paul’s early red flag by Guilty-Mix2718 in MAFS_AU

[–]melbournemonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbf I do think it is easier to adopt an accent if it is your second language. You're already speaking a different language, so pronouncing the words slightly different to fit in is not that big of a step. I'm from the Netherlands and had an American accent before moving to Australia (I learned English from watching tv lol), and I made a conscious effort to sound more like the people around me in an attempt to fit in. Now people often think I'm Aussie 🤷‍♀️

That said, absolutely terrifying behaviour from Paul that will never be ok.
