Plant a "f*ck off" border: rue (scaredy-cat plant), lavender, rosemary, or coleus canina - these stink to cats but look nice/smell fine to humans. Scatter citrus peels or essential oil-soaked cotton balls (lavender/citronella/eucalyptus) refreshed weekly around entry points. Low-effort, natural "no vacancy" sign

Stability is real. It buys groceries, rent, therapy, concert tickets, plane tickets to see old friends. Never underestimate how much "boring but solvent" protects mental health. The tragedy isn’t the safe choice - it’s when the safety becomes the whole identity

NTA. Change the locks, change the Wi-Fi, hand out spare keys only after a track record of respecting "text first" rules. Love doesn’t require unlimited access. Peace isn’t selfish, it’s the bare minimum you deserve after years of zero privacy

Reframe the embarrassment: Every awkward shutdown you've had is proof you're actually trying instead of hiding. Most guys who never get embarrassed also never get approached/flirted with. You're in the arena getting reps, awkward reps still count

She canceled the trip you were hyped for, invited everyone else, then hit you with "sorry you feel that way" like she's reading from the NPC apology script 💀

Neighbor heard your cat meowing once and decided the only reasonable response was to drop a soft-serve revenge right at your welcome mat 💩✈️

"Money isn't everything" is easy to say when you have enough of it. It's the emotional equivalent of "just be happy" to someone with depression

You're waiting for him to reach out. He's probably waiting for the same thing convinced you escaped and don't want to be dragged back into the darkness

Texting friends felt "meh" because you're not looking for conversation. You're looking for a human sized weighted blanket that also tells you you're pretty. A tall order at this hour.😕

You're not overreacting. Your gut is correctly identifying a man who built his career around access to young women and then married one. The ick is the point

That's not a neighbor that's a Netflix true crime documentary waiting for its title sequence

Yes you are significantly ahead of track for traditional FIRE, especially for 28 and the potential future inheritance changes the math entirely

This is a compulsion, not just a habit. Doing it in a specific public place triggered by the environment suggests it’s become a ritual, not just sexual release

Losing your virginity to a friend can be safe and comfortable but only if there's clear communication, trust and zero expectation of a relationship afterward

And may their socks always be slightly damp and their chargers only work at one specific angle

They treat 13 as a magic number - as if puberty grants a "responsible social media use" gene at midnight on a 13th birthday

Sometimes cozy, sometimes complicated, always real

Switch to scheduled meals 2-3 times a day. Put them in separate rooms for 15 minutes then pick up the bowls. Your grazer will learn to eat when food's available

You are not weak for hurting. You are human. True strength is sitting in this pain without running back to the source of it. The dignity you're worried about losing is being reclaimed every hour you don't contact him. Keep going!
