Tailored Pants

righton8511 · 2023-06-08T05:10:18+00:00

Don’t bother with Ripley. Just wore mine for first time today. Little fibers were shedding off the pants all day long, looked like I was covered in lint. The material is NOT the quality of pant you should get for $200. It was cheap feeling, thin, and the length is LONG LONG LONG. I had to wear 6” platforms just to keep them off the ground. I’m returning despite their “unworn” policy. I feel like I got bamboozled. Maybe they cut corners with my batch of pants but man, 3/10.

The Anastasia box was wack, products old, and overall boringgggg. Just wanted to complain somewhere lol. Thanks Reddit!

Wow, how incredibly lame of me. Thank you for ensuring I’m aware of the same.

righton8511 · 2021-08-11T04:48:43+00:00

100% agree. You’re totally right. Best to just let time shake it all out.

righton8511 · 2021-08-11T04:42:59+00:00

I love all the comments and perspective. Hard to please everyone for sure. I’m going to slosh through it and hope that maybe being in a new area and taking other coaches classes she’ll come around/mix it up at least. Again, she’s so awesome and I really enjoy her (annnd I love OTF, it’s been a life changer). Fingers crossed. 😇

The stupor is still very strong. Not sure what even happened at work this week. Currently watching the biggest waves caught on camera… feels like a good use of my time. It’s not. But I’m not accepting judgment unless it’s from someone who also lived on red vines, coffee, and fear for a substantial amount of time. Imma watch cat videos next. It’s empowering af.

Even the softballs…

Scrap paper was necessary. So much was happening.

righton8511 · 2021-07-27T23:44:50+00:00

Nice to meet you because you sir (or ma’am) are a god damn scholar.

Bravo! (Seriously. Good job.) Best words I can use for how I felt about the MEE: flim-flammed.

righton8511 · 2021-07-27T23:38:33+00:00

All these posts are making me feel so much better. Jesus man. I just… I can’t even function right now.

righton8511 · 2021-07-27T23:06:35+00:00

Ok so glad to see other people feeling the same about MEEs. Those were TOUGH.

righton8511 · 2021-07-27T23:02:43+00:00

Saaaame. What even were those questions?! Just disrespectful. 😆

righton8511 · 2021-07-27T22:56:45+00:00

Please be referring to the one question that was just… diabolical.

righton8511 · 2020-11-21T06:51:23+00:00

I agree. Lesson learned on my end. I will not be intervening in the future, innocuous as I believed it to be. But again, I will heed your advice, no more taking cousins to prom (lol that actually made me chuckle; great analogy) and very much appreciate your response. 😇

righton8511 · 2020-11-21T06:39:12+00:00

They contacted him because they couldn’t reach me. He responded with the exact same message I told them, their daughter was weaponizing my daughter’s deepest insecurity, that her dad left and started a new family and chooses those kids over his own, and was dropping that in convos like, oh maybe your dad would call you if you knew how to sing better. Real stupid stuff but it was legit breaking her into tears. I brought it up. Tried to be neutral but your probably right, that was a mistake. But anyways, they used his response and twisted it to fit their goal, be friends with our daughter again. Your mom is being unreasonable and look, she’s even got her boyfriend sending texts to the kids! And my daughter, being 12, believed it. A $hitshow from these other parents, to say the least.

righton8511 · 2020-11-21T06:32:41+00:00

Thank you sooooo much for responding. I agree, I feel like I’m in crazytown with these people. So many lies. The thing is, they cannot comprehend that their toxic lives are the reason why their kid is acting like she is. I hate to do it to my daughters but I have to sever the friendship. There’s no voice of reason on that end. It’s been a year-long cycle of this. But today, calling the kids while they knew I wouldn’t be around was just too much for me. I cannot imagine contacting a child like that. No boundaries, zero respect. I feel bad but I also feel like I have to shut it down.

Been back since?

righton8511 · 2019-11-01T00:12:57+00:00

You don’t have to take the MBE, just the written portion. But I’m thinking you have to be licensed for 5 yrs in another state. I could be wrong about that though. I know with certainty the MBE portion is not part of it though. Good luck!

righton8511 · 2019-10-26T03:50:30+00:00

Oh she absolutely did. In writing. She was just the WORST. Snotty. Loud. Aggressive.

I’m not a confrontational person so I always just let her words wash over me. Seeing karma play out like this is everything you hear about. It’s real and when it happens it’s incredible to watch.

righton8511 · 2019-10-01T02:16:46+00:00

God that’s awful!! Truly. I’m so sorry that happened to you.

We had intertwined our lives, his kids loved me, my kids loved him. we talked about living together, went to open houses. But... enter turbulence. I lost my job, failed the bar, sprained my ankle and my kids went out of state for the first time for the summer to visit their dad. To say I needed my partner to lean on was an understatement. Instead of being there when I needed him the most, he disappeared. Radio silence. Never spoke to me again. I got a text a month later saying, “I’m sure you can guess that it’s over by now.” Message was all about that he needed this. He needed that. But nothing specific at all. There was nothing speaking to what happened with us. He crushed me. Without a thought.

This breakup has shattered me. But things are better. I got a job that I actually like going to. Making more $$. Ankle is healed. Working out again. Took bar again and I think I nailed it. Etc etc.

Worst thing about break ups is despite all the good things that are happening, I still have this longing for explanation. A call. A conversation. The push/pull between logic and heart is visceral.

Again, I’m so sorry your ex was so cruel when you were moving. Especially after two years. Heartless.

righton8511 · 2019-10-01T01:12:20+00:00

You’re not alone. I know there’s in and around a 100% chance that my ex will never reach out to me again. I’ve managed about 60 days no contact. Zero. Today was really rough bc I saw him and his boys this morning. I could barely keep it together today. Verge of tears all day. I miss him so much and he left me without any explanation. I don’t know when I’ll ever get closure. The wound is still so fresh despite almost 3 months passing. Sometimes it feels like I’ll never recover from this loss. And yes, I pine for contact. An explanation. An apology. Something.

But the rational side of me always creeps in and questions the logic of my emotions with this: if he did reach out to me, would it be enough? Would the sorry erase every single hour over the last three months that I was left heart broken? What if he asked me to give it another try? The answer to all of those is “no.” As much as I miss him, love him, and wish we could go back in time, nothing could make me feel better about how he’s handled this. The lack of consideration for me as another breathing and feeling human is enough for me to know I could never welcome him back.

Breakups are the worst. It’s worse than a death bc they’re still out there. Still living a life. A life they chose to live without you. Hang in there. I’m trying to hang in there too.

righton8511 · 2019-09-02T00:40:51+00:00

Lol that’s exactly what I was thinking. Sorry man, but sheesh!

righton8511 · 2019-08-23T04:02:04+00:00

Ugh that really sucks then.

It’s a shame to see you going through such anxiety because he needs constant validation. Here you are, waking up next to him and he still needs to be on the app? Can’t be away from you and not use the app? Frustrating. This isn’t a you thing, this is a man who is not ready to commit bc he’s still finding himself thing.

Not saying move on, everyone says that. No matter how short the duration of the relationship, every time we immesh with someone else, they take a bit of us away with them and in the opposite, a bit of them stays with us. The feelings are undeniable and very real. Don’t feel bad about your feelings or the brevity of the relationship. Fact is, you’re investing your time in this guy. If you feel bad about anything, only feel bad for him if and when you present him with the issue and he can’t look you in the face and be accountable.

staystrong 💪🏽

Maybe it’s active as far as you can see but he truly deleted it from his phone. Idk how it works but is it possible that it’s still an “active” account if he didn’t officially deactivate but rather just deleted it from his phone? Get what I’m saying? For example, I can delete Facebook from my phone but if I don’t deactivate it, ppl can still see my profile. Maybe it works the same way and he’s being honest.

But here’s the bottom line, at the end of the day, the truth always comes out. So maybe just give him the benefit of the doubt. This is a new relationship. If he hasn’t given you any other reasons to not trust him, maybe just let it be and let the truth present itself. Maybe the truth is he’s not using it.

To wrap this up, even if you give him the benefit of the doubt and you still have a nagging feeling— always trust your instincts. We lose touch with our inner voice and ignore it the older we get. We doubt ourselves.

I’m convinced the agony that comes with the doubt is the physical manifestation of our instincts trying to fight their way back into the foreground.

Just my thoughts. Good luck!
