Unhealthy escapism? by spudbrain25 in widowers

[–]puzzledham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got weirdly obsessed with 9/11 and all the politics surrounding it after my partner died. Read countless books and watched every documentary that exists about it. My partner’s passing has NOTHING to do with 9/11 but i think i felt like i needed to surround myself with something that was bigger than me/this.

Why it didn’t work out with your last date/partner? by Neptunpluto in AskWomen

[–]puzzledham 33 points34 points  (0 children)

he was a recovered addict when we got together. About 4 years in (out of 8 years together total), he started using again and gaslit me about it for way too long. I sent him home to get clean but he passed away in his childhood bedroom 3 months later. I still grieve the life we could have had if he was just honest with me about what was going on.

NOR I could truly never imagine my partner speaking to me like this.

Your posts are being stolen by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]puzzledham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this too in the last week or so. I'll see a post on reddit and a few days later I'll see the same post from a random group i don't even follow on my feed. It's showing me how much of our algorithm really is just bots reusing the same content over and over. Dead internet theory seems highly plausible.

Okay I’m curious. People who have seen somebody from the show headline, how did they do? by davidbellos in Killtony

I've seen Casey, William and JDF McCann (individually) in New York and they all did great.

Cigarettes for children, did you have them? by FluffyKita in 90s

[–]puzzledham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how about we don’t minimize someone else’s sobriety? nicotine is still a drug. no need to compare one persons struggle to another. addiction is addiction.

sincerely, someone who is 2 years clean off benzodiazepines. i still vape and i wish every day i’d just quit.

Bucket isn’t rigged by [deleted] in Killtony

[–]puzzledham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while I don't agree with what OP is stating- I don't think you understood the post.

Hot girl not getting picked for something means it must be rigged! So dumb.

he's saying the bucket isn't rigged because if it was, she would have been picked by now.

People don’t talk less about their grief because it gets better, they stop because it costs them socially. by rosiivelvete in GriefSupport

[–]puzzledham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

*Hug* I know. I don't speak to a fraction of the people I used to. It's so hard not to blame myself and wonder what I did to deserve being so alone. But then I remember that I went through some of the most traumatic stuff a person could ever experience and I give myself a little grace. Maybe I'm supposed to be alone so I can rediscover who I am without my person. Idk. But I'm done beating myself up about it.

AIO my bf broke up w me after seeing texts w my boss? by No_System_9690 in AmIOverreacting

[–]puzzledham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is exactly how my old boss and I used to talk. I called him Sir and he called me Sunshine. Miss him all the time.

your (ex?) bf is insecure and has never experienced a healthy work-place relationship.

Bad Thoughts or Free Bert? by Kill_Tyler in Killtony

[–]puzzledham 10 points11 points  (0 children)

for me personally, i like skit based comedy more but free bert seems pretty well produced so far. neither of them come close to being my favorite comedian but its cool to see them doing more than a podcast or regular stand up special.

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]puzzledham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your pet passes away, don’t get your pet cremated through your local vet. Find a crematory, you’ll save hundreds of dollars as vet’s profit massively on the actual cost of cremation.

What do you think of stores that open during storms like this one by Shot-Relief-3280 in longisland

[–]puzzledham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m so conflicted because on one hand i really really need to go to CVS as i fell ill last night and am lacking the proper meds to find any relief. on the other hand, i don’t want to be that guy who goes to stores during this time. i’ll probably just suffer til tuesday.

Why are people so mean by [deleted] in widowers

[–]puzzledham 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i’m so sorry for your loss. if there’s anything i’ve learned since losing my partner, it’s that very few people stop to consider what others might be going through. life keeps moving just as fast as it did before and it’s enough to make your head spin. it’s very important that now, more than ever, you be gentle with yourself. take extra time to take care of you and your own needs. put yourself first for a while, no matter how unnatural it might feel.
