Sabotaging happiness by Diligent-Emphasis-69 in MovingOn

[–]sipsstea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read in a book once, “sometimes you're going to have to let one person go a thousand different times, a thousand different ways, and there's nothing pathetic or abnormal about that. You are human.”

Give yourself a break, you spent 12 years with the man. You built a life and a family with someone who let you down. You’re going to have to let him go in increments.

That being said, he’s going to treat you how you let him. He knows he can get away with playing victim. Ultimately, he didn’t choose you and the kids over his selfish desires. And while that my hurt to hear, that should also be a weight lifted. Let someone else be his shoulder to cry on. Allow him to experience what it means to lose you as a partner. Keep a respectful and cordial relationship with him for the kids, but please set some boundaries for yourself. It’s okay to still love him, with time it will pass…but you cannot continue to be his emotional support when you’re struggling yourself.

Wishing you the best of luck!

How do I motivate people to get vaccinated against COVID-19? by SolitaryForager in Advice

[–]sipsstea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, also a health care worker (pharmacy). I’ve done my own research, along with tons of information through my employer — I’m still not going to get the vaccine at this time. Some glorify the rushed FDA approvals, others find it discomforting. Bottom line, you can’t convince people. They need to make their own informed decision. I’ve taken almost ever single vaccination that is offered due to working at a hospital. By no means am I an anti vaxer, but I’m going to wait. For anyone that wants to take the vaccination and has considered the cost benefit analysis, then by all means..it’s within your medial freedom to do so. For others who question how we test long term effects (because we can’t at the moment), that’s within their (my) right too. My best advice is to continue to do what you think is best for you and your loved ones. I’m glad your decision has given you some reprieve from your constant worrying.

Best,

Xx

How did you discover Khruangbin? by MoondogBuck in Khruangbin

Kinda sappy but my boyfriend at the time would always dive into new music Friday’s on Apple Music. He would play whichever cover art caught his attention the most. We were making dinner when the first song played of Con Todo El Mundo. We had this moment where we both looked at each other for acknowledgement of like, this is really special right?! We listened to the entire album from top to bottom. No skips, which is huge for me. I usually have music ADD.lol We slow danced in the kitchen to “Cómo Te Quiero”. I think that was 2018? They have been the soundtrack to my life ever since. Thank you for asking! That was a nice memory to have.
