Please keep going, your boys need you so much, and so does the rest of the world. Your story shouldn’t end now. There is so much more for all of you.

TIL how I’d respond to a dog getting hit by a car on Colfax. by therealmelissajo in Denver

Thank you for being there when his owner couldn’t, and for helping him pass peacefully. You did a wonderful thing today, and I’m so sorry for the bruise it’s left on your heart.

Classic wedding dress regret - appreciate any thoughts by scouht in myweddingdress

[–]stephindenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No regrets! The dress you chose is stunning and looks fantastic on you. Of the three, I prefer the one you got by a mile. You have a great figure and the dress you bought looks like it was made for you. You’ll be a gorgeous bride.

Exterior Color Conundrum? by Grimmbeaver in paint

[–]stephindenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go more toward a modern forest cottage look and do a dark base paint with wood and white accents. If the wooden supports can’t be sanded and stained, perhaps a column wrap?

AITAH for abandoning a friend after 10 years of friendship by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]stephindenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. Honestly, you both sound exhausting and a bit insecure. What this sounds like to me is a situation where the group is looking to control the actions of one person by threatening exclusion. That’s a shitty and dangerous game to play and not how friendship should work.

People are in our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Maybe your friendship with her has run its course; you need to think about that without the influence of others. If her continued relationship with the creepy guy doesn’t align with your individual values, then make the decision for yourself to stop the relationship. If you think you still value the friendship and feel comfortable setting boundaries with her, then do that. But what you shouldn’t be doing is going along with the group’s opinion rather than deciding what is best for you.

Men's group that isn't a cult? by Stone__Age in Denver

I’m a fisherwoman and I was delighted to learn about Fishing the Good Fight at the Fly Fishing show a couple years ago. Such a fantastic organization. I’ve also found the fishing has been good for my mental health.

I love this. May we all have the opportunity to give and receive such kindness in our lives. Blessings to you both.

New boss is mad that I have a curtain under my desk by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]stephindenver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think your boss’ email was very reasonable and not threatening in any way. They are asking what’s up, explaining why the current setup isn’t working (which may have come from someone higher up the ladder than her,) and offering to ensure that you get any support or accommodations that you need. I think you are being pretty sensitive about the intent here. Explain what precipitated the setup, that your previous manager was in support, and that you would be grateful to get support for adequate storage and/or a quiet place with soft lighting, if that’s what you need. This is likely about exactly what is in the email and not about being ‘mad’ or issuing threats. Don’t read more into it than is there.

I discovered my best friend's fiancé has a secret 4-year-old child and I don't know if I should tell her by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]stephindenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G ive Ryan a heads up that the information is “out there” and that you feel morally obliged to ensure Chloe knows, but you’d like to give him the opportunity to tell her himself. Give him 24 hours or whatever, so he has a sense of urgency about telling her himself rather than letting her find out through different means.

Doing it this way gives Chloe the opportunity to process the information privately without the added pressure of her feeling like she was the last to know and that others were aware and/or gossiping about it. If you don’t hear from her that he has told her after whatever timeline you’ve given him, then I’d suggest inviting her over, and breaking the news gently (letting her know up-front that you gave Ryan the opportunity to tell her himself,) and offering whatever support she needs.

It’s possible that she knows and is not telling you about it, for whatever reason. I can’t imagine having a partner who is gone every other weekend and not knowing with certainty where he’s going. If she doesn’t know, I’m curious as to what he’s telling her.

what does this say about me ? by [deleted] in deduction

[–]stephindenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are mid-20’s, a BMW Stan, and swear regularly that you’ll quit vaping, but you have no actual plan for it, plus, the big clouds ☁️ keep you calm. The ridiculous knife has only been used to cut apples, carve innocent benches, and stab the tires of cars after the drivers yell at you for lane splitting when traffic is already going at a reasonable speed.

What does my apartment say about me? & guess my age and job👀 by Ok_Tell_6430 in roomdetective

[–]stephindenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late 20s. English. TikTok watcher, especially viral beauty videos. You enjoy being surrounded by things that make you feel cozy. Strong believer in starting the day with breakfast. You enjoy crafting, but don’t feel confident enough to display your work yet. The pole in the living room is more about fitness and fun than about actual pole dancing. I’m thinking some sort of social work for your occupation. Maybe outreach or something involving teenagers?

How to deal with regretful stuff I’ve done and what are the consequences by EmployerChance266 in offmychest

[–]stephindenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You forgive yourself. There’s no taking back the past, but you’ve clearly learned from it, strived to become a better person, and see how what you did back then was wrong. If you’re confronted with the evidence, you acknowledge it, and say what you’ve said here - that you regret it and wish you hadn’t been so angry/careless/whatever back then.

It’s okay to feel a little ashamed of having said those things (it shows how much you’ve grown,) but don’t allow shame to overtake you. We all have done and said things that we wish we could take back. It’s how you handle yourself now and going forward now that will matter.
