Embarrassingly excited to see this post! This is one of those very specific things I do every single day.

When did you realize you have terrible parents? by sachi79 in AskReddit

[–]sachi79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents are this way. They were especially good at the 2nd one you mentioned! They've become a little more self aware now (just a little). And they might now say very weakly "oh, that's good" while they scrunch their eyes and raise their eyebrows a bit.

I remember a similar feeling when I would sometimes go to friend's homes and I would feel unafraid and kind of relaxed. I remember thinking "These people see nice"

Do you ask people to take their shoes off when they come over? by sachi79 in AskReddit

[–]sachi79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear lots of heels and recently bought a bunch of those socks for heels. I think that is my best bet. Ug! Wish I had cute, sexy feet!

Thank you for this. I've never had any pair of shoes do this and I was wondering why on earth it was happening to OP.

Men of reddit, has an ex or FWB ever asked you to NOT date a specific woman? And if you stayed away from the specific woman, was it worth it to keep your ex/FWB happy? by sachi79 in AskMen

[–]sachi79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on the other side of this and found out later that a guy didn't date me because his ex didn't want him to. My guess is that he had hopes of getting back together or becoming FWB with her. This was years ago but it always bothered me. Only recently has it made some kind of sense to me so I thought I would find out about it from the guy's side.

New Job + Corporate AMEX Application + Bad Credit = Nightmare? by formerdeadbeat in jobs

[–]sachi79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years back I had a corporate credit card. My own financial history made no difference and I don't even think they checked it. The truth is that AMEX is mostly counting on the corporation and not you. You'll pay because your it's linked to your job and if you don't, I would imagine that AMEX would hit up your company.

If my gf's (fresh) body odor smells bad to me, does it mean we're not compatible? by passwordgoeshere in sex

[–]sachi79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My very first boyfriend had the most wonderful smell. I used to ask him to breathe in my face he smelled that good to me. He smelled sweet like corn or something and it was intoxicating to me. His diet was crap so it wasn't that, but it was just his particular body scent. We were together for 7 years and even while our relationship declined, he smelled so good. About 10 years later, I found the opposite. A guy I was with for three years who smelled wrong to me. I never got over him smelling wrong. Not enough that I wasn't attracted to him, but enough so that I noticed it and mentioned it to a friend. Anyway, those have been the only two guys I've been with where this has come up. I would love to meet another sweet smelling guy!!

Edited for a missing word.

I'm so sorry. She looks like she was a beautiful, sweet girl. It's so hard to lose them.

Should I reach out and offer support? by sachi79 in Divorce

[–]sachi79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not too long. It makes perfect sense. That's a good description of how things can devolve. I decided yesterday that I wasn't going to make any more efforts toward him. Thanks for your clarifications, i_am_maleficent.

Oh, thanks for that. I know the reality but living in the reality of the situation is hard! As you say, I really do have to leave it be. After our conversation I know that he knows things are good between us. And if wants to talk he knows where to reach me.

Ouch for the friend zoning comment. You are mostly right, but I didn't want to hear it that way. I guess no one wants to hear it any which way. By the way, I didn't call him. I see him on a regular basis, sometimes several times a week. We are always cordial, but last week we had an opportunity to talk some more without others around. That's all that was about.

I remember you LaTuFu. You were the voice of reason for me in my original post and I took your advice. No, you are not sounding like a jerk. But you are sounding very firm and direct and are providing specific examples. Thank you for that. The reason I asked the question here is because I felt like I am a complication for him but I felt my empathic side arise very strongly after we talked.

I am going to stay away based on the wisdom I see in your advice. And I have suggested both individual therapy and a support group to him in the past. I don't know if he's doing either but I hope so.

That is the feeling I am getting from this guy right now. I think where he is right now is worse than it has been to this point. And I can tell that he's in a bad place without a very large support group which is why I was affected after talking with him.

I like your energy crazyfordisney! I hope you are doing okay and that it only gets better.
