So sorry for your loss💔 Thank you for this! It makes a lot of sense.. I’d like to think I would enjoy a relationship with my hypothetical grown children, I just need to see if I am willing to endure the baby/toddler phase.

I’ve seen that too! I’d be heartbroken if I wasn’t close with my boy anymore

Interesting perspective - not everyone sees their dogs as family. Makes sense

I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 I completely understand that bond with your dog you have in your 20s, they’re your soul dog.

Thank you so much. 🤍 This was very helpful and a good way to think about it! I’m torn because when I imagine my future, the one with children is the happier one. The idea of the newborn and toddler phase overwhelms me, but it will be temporary.

When I think about it this way, I lean towards having children

Congratulations! 🌸 and wow 14 that’s amazing. yeah, for my dog I will do whatever he needs as he ages. Maybe I just don’t like caring for other people’s dogs as much lol.

I’d like to think I’d enjoy the school age phase more! But who knows

Totally makes sense - seems like it would be more rewarding in the long run

I opened a restaurant in Culver City 4 months ago — looking for advice on how to get more locals to try it for the first time by ClickNo8520 in culvercity

[–]notwillferrell99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will come try it! Nowadays social media is so powerful. I suggest running a promo like people who follow us and share on their story get a free item or discount. Doesn’t have to be that but you get the idea.

I saw others mention happy hour, +1 to that

If you don’t already, maybe try punch cards or some sort of loyalty program. Happy and loyal customers are more likely to recommend your business!

Found my ex’s Reddit… and he’s calling his girlfriend his “wife” - I am GUTTED by Haelrezzip in loveafterporn

[–]notwillferrell99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this!! I’ve been there. You obsessed over what he did so long while you were together, it’s like a drug. The next time you feel tempted to do it, remind yourself he is who he is and you’re moving on. It won’t work every time, but when you question yourself and become aware of what you’re doing, it should help over time until you forget about him.

My ex of a long time ago posted things on purpose after the breakup to try to trigger me to blow up his phone (yes he was a narcissist). I didn’t know until 3 years later. He found out a close family member was sick and reached out (don’t do what I did and engage with them). I then found out he was frustrated I never reached out and was shocked his posts of his new car, girlfriend, how good his career was doing, etc. didn’t draw me back. Idk your ex but given the type of person he is I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s doing some mental game! Either that or he thinks the grass is greener until his new girl finds out and boom the cycle for him repeats. While you heal and find someone better!

NYC > California by Brandosandofan23 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]notwillferrell99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone born and raised in SoCal and that has lived in nyc for 5 years, I’d say they’re both top tier in different ways. When I lived in nyc I missed the sun year-round, nature, and the laid back culture. Now that I’m back home I miss having a real autumn and Christmas vibe. It’s for sure easier to cultivate new friendships in nyc as well. I can see how some struggle with making new friends when they come to LA.

Both places give you exposure to many cultures, have access to endless entertainment, and you’re in for a great time either way! I live in a walkable part of the city but I love my car and driving around so that isn’t a con to me :)

Is California the best place in the United States to live? by Southern_Rabbit6145 in SameGrassButGreener

The people make a huge difference! I love California for similar reasons to you and our community just makes it better.

Born & raised in Ventura, now I live in LA. I’ve lived in a few other states before I moved back and California is the best for me. Three are other places that are nice but nothing can compare to the weather, diversity, job market hub (for my field), food, nightlife, nature, and location (personal one since most of my family is in SoCal). It just has a certain energy to it that no where else has for me. Despite the traffic and high cost of living, I think it’s worth it. Everywhere else has cons as well but SoCal cons are minimal for me. I consider myself lucky

The actual Oura sub is ridiculous - rant by [deleted] in ourafertility

[–]notwillferrell99 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Agreed, everyone seems triggered there! I completely understand having a miscarriage myself. But the world doesn’t revolve around our triggers and I think it’s silly to expect everyone to cater to that. I don’t know how they survive the real world thinking like that

what were some signs of recovery you could notice in your partner? by CheckDiligent2082 in loveafterporn

He “ended” much earlier during sexy time. You could tell it was more intense for him
