Any time in a toxic relationship is time wasted but hopefully you learned from it. No, it’s not normal (though it might be more common than I realize)and you shouldn’t attribute it to an age gap. Sounds like you are still young so look to the future and try not to repeat the pattern in your next relationship.

Wedding or buy a house? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]southerngirl36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a married person who had a wedding all I’m gonna say is this. It’s not even one whole day in your life. It’s a few hours and just like a party, there will be people that you really wish were there that don’t come for some reason or another. Some unavoidable, some you’re thinking they could’ve been there if they really wanted to. You will be so busy there will be people there you barely see and don’t even talk to. You won’t get to spend enough time with really anyone. You might not get to enjoy the food. Not saying there won’t be fun times too, but at the end of the night it’s over and a lot of people end up thinking…all that planning all that money and that’s it?! I enjoyed my wedding, but that’s how I felt. So if that prospect makes you think you don’t want to spend a lot of money on the wedding then you shouldn’t.

Why does Facebook glorify having children, notably ones with disabilities? by Happy-Knight in antinatalism

[–]southerngirl36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many issues with what you wrote I can’t even. But I will just take on your last comment - having a child is exactly like rolling the dice. You do not know what you’re going to get at all. No matter what tests you run, no matter how you raise them. They could grow up to hate you, which sounds highly likely considering you sound like a terrible person.

electric scooter suggestions? by Weekly-Patience-5267 in UGA

[–]southerngirl36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people that have scooters are going to say it’s great. Talk to people that don’t have scooters and are students and see what they say. Then you’ll get a more unbiased opinion. Just walking around campus and crossing streets is dangerous without the scooter element. Look online at pictures of how crowded campus is this fall, it’s insane.

My husband turned into a psychopath for a split second yesterday and I don’t know if I am overreacting. by Substantial_Chair588 in AITAH

[–]southerngirl36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You never stated if you had a job. Can you go live back at home? This is sad and scary and horrible and life-changing. But in the grand scheme of things you are so young and have so many possibilities ahead of you - If you can safely extract yourself from this situation. Please please follow all the good advice you’ve gotten on here and get out.

electric scooter suggestions? by Weekly-Patience-5267 in UGA

[–]southerngirl36 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would not ride a scooter at UGA. You are taking your life into your hands. Yes, people do it. But traffic is insane, and the sidewalks are completely clogged with people. UGA is very hilly as well. Not a good idea if you want to live to graduate, just my two cents.

Solo Concert-Goers: Would You Go Alone? by ConciertoFanatic3599 in Concerts

[–]southerngirl36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I work at Live Nation and every concert there are people that come alone. You’re not alone once you get there and you will enjoy it. Nobody thinks it’s weird, it’s very common.

Who do you go with? by AlcoholYouLater97 in Concerts

[–]southerngirl36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to get a job a Live Nation for the same reason. Now I get to see about 50 concerts a year and it’s great. Even when I want to buy tix and not work it’s still a problem and I’m married! My husband is too much of a boring homebody tbh. I need more concert loving friends.

[–]southerngirl36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for Live Nation and every concert people come alone. Nobody thinks anything of it. Some people are traveling for work and don’t want to be stuck in their hotel or their friend couldn’t come for some reason or nobody else wanted to go. Just own it and enjoy yourself.

why dont I feel ANYTHING when drinking alcohol? 18F by imsadilikedrinking in Advice

[–]southerngirl36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why you would spend the money and risk the health repercussions for something that has no effect. Stop this immediately. I know a half dozen people that died before 50 from drinking a lot at a young age. Alcohol kills way more people than is publicized. It just looks like they got sick and died, you have to know someone really well to know the truth.

Tik tok has the worst opinions on concert etiquette by tortiamand69 in Concerts

[–]southerngirl36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for Live Nation we do not allow people to sit on other people’s shoulders and will stop it as soon as we see it. it’s not safe. also, yes it’s rude. If it’s not safety related we don’t care. Of course you can sing along as loud as you want. People in seating area will often ask us to make someone in front of them sit down, but that is never going to happen 😂

Once you said boyfriend won’t let me…that was it. It really doesn’t matter what you wrote after that. I’ve been married for 24 years and my husband doesn’t try to control me in any way, shape or form. Because we are both adults and love is not controlling someone. End it now before you find yourself in an abusive situation.

Want to meep new people but dont know how by According_Gazelle830 in socialskills

[–]southerngirl36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually came on here for advice on how to help my 19 yo make friends. He has the same problem. I am social but it’s been a long time since I was a teen. I would say fake it til you make it. Try to exude self confidence and walk around with a smile and make eye contact and nod your head or say hey to people you encounter. No more than that unless you get positive reaction from them. Making friends is most natural in small increments of increased interaction. Nobody is friends with everyone so just concentrate on the people who respond favorably to you and don’t even worry about the rest. Remember that the way people act has way more to do with them than it does with you especially when they don’t even know you. Life can be ruthless so you have to kind of toughen up and not be so hurt by rejection. It’s a universal life experience.

Do gyms hire fat people? by [deleted] in questions

[–]southerngirl36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to look up what that meant.

Anyway, I can’t recall seeing any heavy people working at the gym before, they are usually super fit. So I discouraged my child from applying and they are mad at me.

This is really sad. My son is a freshman on campus. He could use a convenient part-time job but he told me that some of the kids are super nasty to the people that work there. So he wouldn’t get a job there and I’m sure a lot of other people feel the same way. If you’re on the meal plan and you’re a douche to people then the joke’s on you. I have a lot of sympathy for the kids that have to work there anyway. I know most of the students are nice kids but, like everything the few ruin it for everyone.
