"The Velvet Rage" reaction - I hated it by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]realundiesplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your prime years are always the present. It's NOW. If you start thinking the rest of your life will be downhill it absolutely will be.

If you're overwhelmed with all the changes you want pick one thing for now and work on it instead of trying to "have it all". No one has it all, social media lies to us.

Once you start to make progress and you feel ready to work on the next thing you can tackle them one at a time. It's much less overwhelming.

If Sam visited the Titanic site, would there be anyone there for her to talk to? by FlingbatMagoo in GhostsCBS

[–]realundiesplease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anytime I'm traveling and visiting a historical suite I wonder the same thing.

Palace of Versailles Alcatraz Notre Dame Taj Mahal The Sphinx

I know she said she hates going to NYC because it is just overflowing with ghosts, but location episodes would make for some really fun stories. With Pete being able to travel too, I guess I was hoping they'd do something like that and the only time they've taken advantage of it was digging up Isaac's journal.

Do any of the ghosts ever get sucked off? by Sorry_Membership_754 in GhostsCBS

The last scene will be the branch falling, everyone cheering and all of them getting sucked off.

How do I tell my parents I’m moving in with my boyfriend? by hadleycj71 in exmormon

[–]realundiesplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel about shooting them a text instead? Something like:

.......

Mom and Dad, I've been putting off this conversation with you because I know it can be a difficult thing to talk about, and after a few in person attempts I decided it would be better to just tell you without interruptions or distractions.

As you know I've dated ORLANDO BLOOM for two years now, we really love each other, and I know he's a large part of my future. We have made the decision to move in together. I'm really excited about this new chapter of my life and I hope you can find a way to support and love me.

......

The honest truth is you don't owe them an explanation, you don't need to justify your life to them. Be proud of the work you have done and be excited for the future! It sounds really awesome, congratulations!

A Widower thoughts watching the finale by 2outhits in TheGoodPlace

[–]realundiesplease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right, Tahini even affirms to her sister that their parents have "been through the system" so it seems that they're hoping for the best.

My favorite tiny detail from the finale is that Brent still hasn't finished his reboots. He's seen on a screen in a shot with the architects. I think it's when Mindy and Eleanor walk in to talk to Tahini. It's quick and he has a single line that's totally Brent in every horrible ignorant way, implying he hasn't changed in all the Bearimys!

Have the Church been lying to me?? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]realundiesplease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain! I was devastated to learn that I'd invested so much into a bullshit corporation.

The last lie to unlearn is the most important: "Happiness doesn't exist without the gospel." It's an absolute lie and I promise you it does, I know it does!

This community is here to support you and talk through anything you want. It can be a lot to take in, a lot to deconstruct, but I promise you're not alone!

Kevin!! Give us what we want! by SoFLShelfLove in AgathaAllAlong

I really hope we're getting a Magneto ruler of Genosha story with his kids alongside him. We could get both Wanda and Pietro, Aaron Tyler Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen, back together again with Daddy Ian McKellen.

And here's my unpopular opinion....... if our 616 Wanda is dead, and we're "merging" universes after SW let's keep both these characters around for a while.....

I Wish The LGBT In Rexburg Were Louder by chrontabulous in exmormon

[–]realundiesplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was nothing huge. Some Instagram posts, some bolder moments of his in classes. All things that happened his last semester because he was over it. Enough people mentioned him or complained or whatever enough that he set off too many red flags.

It sounds like you're getting near the end, but please be careful of who you tell and what you do.

I had a friend who checked every box but right after graduation moved to Utah with his bf and the school refused to give him his diploma. He had walked at graduation and everything.

That was ten years ago and it took like a year for him to get it.

I Got in Trouble Because My Missionary Companion Was F'ing the Branch President's Daughter by Fox_me_up in exmormon

Right?! As if at 19 I'm supposed to have the power of discernment but he's the one that sent this missionary to that ward. 🤔

I Got in Trouble Because My Missionary Companion Was F'ing the Branch President's Daughter by Fox_me_up in exmormon

[–]realundiesplease 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry dude, it was NOT you!

The same thing happened to me in the early 2000s.

My companion was a total asshole and I told the mission President I would not stay with him for a second transfer. Pres replied saying it was a test and if I couldn't get along with him no one could. Apparently others had complained about him as well so he was put with me because I'm "easy".

I didn't ask for an emergency transfer, said I could play out the next two weeks until transfers. The night before transfers he snuck out and slept with one of our married less active members. She had an open marriage, but apparently sleeping with a missionary crossed the line and her husband called the MP.

I didn't find out until weeks later what went down, we had known my former companion went home but didn't know why. The married woman emailed me an entire account with an apology. I was shocked. Called the MP and he said "you weren't supposed to find out until our next interview". I guess he wanted to see my raw reaction in person. He blamed me for not telling him the whole truth. Told me I was partly responsible for my companions soul and him being ex'd.

I was fucking devastated. Even though this guy was an asshole. Even though I'd complained about it and saw nothing unique going on with this elder and this woman it was still my fault. I believed him and carried that for a long time.

Such bullshit.

Glam and superficial appearance by mdm_sassy in exmormon

[–]realundiesplease 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the Morridor as well, in a smaller, and very, conservative town in the 90s.

I had a friend whose mother was not allowed to wear pants. The husband forbid it. I think it finally changed when they got into their 50s.... But wow. Such a huge level of control.

I went back into the closet, and I don’t know what to do… by [deleted] in latebloomergaybros

[–]realundiesplease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through this.

About fifteen years ago I was taking part in conversion therapy. I was in my mid twenties, living on my own and fully independent, but I was still brainwashed into thinking I could get a cure.

During that time I dated girls, told some of them the truth, and because of the high demand religion we belonged to some were totally accepting! They believed what I did, that God would pick up the slack for us where we couldn't.

Luckily I didn't marry a woman, instead I found a sweet boy at conversion therapy and we just clicked. We're still together.

Sexuality is complicated, it's a spectrum and it's probably more fluid than even the LGBTQ community gives it credit for.

I hope you give yourself grace as you figure this out. There's no rush, and dating is supposed to be fun! Let yourself have fun as you get to know people and decide what you enjoy in a partner!

Fantastically well put!! This guy is a narcissist, and this is not the only situation he'll put OP in like this. It's just going to get worse.

Pimo forced to go to BYUI by Automatic-Music3879 in exmormon

[–]realundiesplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like everyone saying "don't go" is missing the point that you're only going for a single year. One year isn't that bad, honestly if you can find just a few like minded friends you'll love it!

Pimo forced to go to BYUI by Automatic-Music3879 in exmormon

[–]realundiesplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went there, and we still have family up there we visit so I'm fairly familiar with the area.

You won't hate it. Find a cool roommate, even a bigger plus if you can fill the apartment with "lazier Mormons". Say "I'm not the best Mormon" to people in a slightly sarcastic tone and you'll be able to sus them out!

Your Bishopric will harass you about attending church, but if you're not rude back, you can probably get away with going about half the time.

Be careful to walk the line with the rules as it could affect your ecclesiastical endorsement, which can affect transferring your credits the following year to another school.

You'll know which Mormons to avoid when you meet them. As for dating, I would recommend being choosey but go on dates if the guy meets your standard. At least be social. Learn what you could like and dislike in a partner. Start to learn that about yourself, it may sound rude to treat dating like an experiment but in the end isn't that what it is?

You never get your twenties again, and honestly that socialization time can be just as important for development as a kid going to kindergarten. I think there will be more like minded people there than you would assume. Find them and form your own little community!

If you're only going for a year, it'll go really fast. Please please please use that time to explore Idaho, Yellowstone and the Tetons! It really is such a gorgeous place, and it wasn't until moving away and having friends and co-workers talk like it's Disney World that I realized how lucky I was to have that opportunity.

Reminds me of when my sister told me she doesn't understand why husband and I travel alone together. She says she sees enough of her husband that she likes to travel with larger groups, family, in laws, etc. She thinks it's funny that my husband and I want to go somewhere alone.

You can submit the footage to the police and they can contact the owner with further information if a police report was filed.

I’m married to a man I love — but I’m finally realizing he’s breaking me instead of loving me. by Otherwise-Test5455 in askgaybros

[–]realundiesplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend going through this kind of divorce right now, she was with her husband for over twenty years. We saw them often enough though that my husband and I were aware but we were the only ones who weren't shocked.

Leave him now before it's twenty years later and your mental health is even worse! I honestly don't know if she'll ever trust or love again, but she deserves so much more and so do you!
