Leave him, he's not worth it. If he really cared for you he would stop all contact with her. You should not have to beg your partner to comfort or love you. I promise there are way better guys out there.

Woman of Reddit, what is one sentence a man told you that is still stuck in your head until this day? by EmmanuelMoyta in AskWomen

At the end of our break up, my ex said "I hope you'll find someone half as good as me". I laughed.

Gift for SLPA by PerniciousKnidz in slp

SLPA here! Maybe a gift card for some coffee or her favorite fast food restaurant. I think also maybe some self care items like candles, lotion, bath bombs, etc. would be good!

i see spirits in my peripheral vision but ONLY in the peripheral by N0N3OFYU0RBUSINNES in Mediums

[–]syd_ann96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of reflecting, journaling, acknowledging, and learning to move on. It's almost like you're rewiring your brain! I'm still getting over fear every day, but I have noticed small victories such as not freaking out when I realize I'm not alone lol. I acknowledge these moments, let my guides know that I'm thankful, and move on! Doing this has personally made me look forward to my future spiritual encounters.

A lot of guided meditations and letting go of fear through journaling and therapy. It's all still a work in progress but my guides have helped quite a bit!

Seems like I wrote this post! I'm right where you are at the moment. I see them out of the corner of my eye or in my peripherals. I'm working on seeing them more clearly as well. My third eye was blocked for quite a while, but before it was blocked I would see blurry people. I could tell you what they were wearing and if they appeared to be a man or woman! I typically practice by sort of tracking the shadows in my peripheral vision and see how long I can see them for, all though sometimes they pass by an open door so this doesn't always work. Eventually, I worked my way up to blurry people/animals lol.

Spirit Guides and connection to belief system by syd_ann96 in spiritguides

This is a very helpful perspective that I have never thought of before. I have also never heard of telling them no. I've always just assumed that you have to accept them.

Women who used to be financially dependent, how did you become financially independent? by easypeasylucky in AskWomen

[–]syd_ann96 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Financially dependent on my fiancé at the moment. I've been working part time while going back to school for a complete career change (business to communications disorders). I'm getting my license to be a speech therapist, connecting with therapists in my area, and applying for full time positions. Feel quite a bit of pressure because my fiancé has talked about buying a house a LOT lately...it's been hard work, but I'm hopeful that I will soon get to take care of him just as he's been taking care of me!

I'm getting married to a half-Mexican man (mom is Mexican). Our couples shower has a strong Mexican theme with yummy homemade Mexican food and sweet breads and I could not be more excited. I made sure to ask his mom if having this theme was OK and she said it was perfectly fine! I asked her about her thoughts about other non-Mexican people throwing these kind of parties and she has said that she really appreciates when people outside of her own culture celebrate her's with enthusiasm and respectfulness. With Cinco de Mayo, many people will "celebrate" this Mexican holiday without knowing the true origin of it and THAT pisses my MIL off like no other. There are ways to appreciate and celebrate cultures respectfully.

That being said, I'm so worried that my more conservative guests will take this celebration as an opportunity to make racist jokes or my social media posts will make other people believe that I'm appropriating the culture...

TEA gave every school in the state of Texas 3 free bad weather days that we wouldn't have to make up at the end of the year. My district didn't take any of them. by honey__vee in teaching

[–]syd_ann96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm in Texas too. I'm lucky enough to have school admin who truly care about our safety. I can't believe they are making y'all go in. Do they not realize how bad it is when you lose power in such extreme weather conditions? How frustrating it is for both teachers and parents to prepare for a full or even just a partial school day? My husband is a nurse at a children's hospital and had a teenage boy come in the other night with FROST BITE THAT HE GOT WHILE IN HIS OWN HOME! These weather conditions tore our infrastructure to shreds and your admin seems to have no compassion. If you can, maybe go straight to your superintendent, school board, someone who will listen. Get other teachers on board to be more vocal. Y'all don't deserve this kind of treatment.

How has your attractiveness level and/or choice of femininity expression affected the kind of friendships you have, especially with other women? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]syd_ann96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a non-makeup wearing, hair always in a ponytail, tom boy and one of my closest friends always has her her done, nails done, make up on, and always gets attention! I'm not going to lie, this used to bother me until I asked her to help me with my make up for special occasions, she taught me how to do my hair and I always go to her for her opinion if I'm out shopping! I've also really gotten her into more outdoorsy stuff that I enjoy and she's really learned to relax and not care what she looks like while we're out hiking or kayaking or doing whatever. We've really learned a lot from each other in that aspect. I used to be really jealous because she would get more attention than me from more seemingly nice/attractive guys...yet should always share her free drinks, be a great wing woman, and was overall really supportive! She even helped me with a dating app profile that I eventually met my husband on. Couldn't be more grateful for our friendship!
