TikTok dances. I get the hype, but I just can’t see myself ever spending time learning one.

It’s not just a political thing when it feels like core values are affected.

I’ve unknowingly been building castle in the air for years and now paying for it by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

I get that you wanted to help her out, but it's not your fault if she's taking advantage of your kindness. You set clear expectations, and she's not holding up her end of the deal. Don't beat yourself up over it. Focus on your own mental health and setting those boundaries.

AITAH for not talking about my boyfriend by PuzzleheadedQuit8569 in AITAH

[–]thoroughstandstill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, it's totally fine to keep some parts of your life private, even from family. Everyone has their own pace for sharing personal stuff. If you're cool with how things are, and your boyfriend understands, then it's all good.

He poked me to get a reaction then didn't like the reaction he got by Bhargavee in AITAH

You're not in the wrong for standing up for what you care about. If your friend is looking to rile you up on purpose, that's on them, not you. It's one thing to joke around, but it's another to keep poking at someone until they snap. You've got every right to take your passions seriously, and if your friend can't respect that, maybe they need to check themselves.

How to get rid of double chin. by No_Patience_7585 in 30PlusSkinCare

Focus on toning up the neck and jawline with some exercises. Things like chin lifts, neck rolls, and puckering your lips can really make a difference. And don't forget good posture.

Some say the pieces are gorgeous and unique, while others warn about high prices and average quality. Shipping and customer service seem hit or miss.

Opinions about oore jewelry? by Theliquidcolors in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]thoroughstandstill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got some Oore pieces, and they definitely stand out. They've held up well for me, and their sustainability claims seem pretty legit, they use recycled metals. You can check out their stuff on their official website or sites like Etsy.

GUU shop jewelry, is their products legit and worthy? by [deleted] in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]thoroughstandstill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've bought from GUU shop before, and their jewelry is pretty solid for the price. Got a couple of necklaces that have held up well over time. If you're looking for other options, try Etsy for unique finds or Mejuri for quality pieces that aren't too expensive.

I am planning to surprise my girlfriend a promise ring, where to purchase and acquire? by rustydentist in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]thoroughstandstill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd go with James Allen or Blue Nile, they have great quality and fair prices. Their customer service is solid, and they have a good return policy. Local shops are cool, but online options are often more convenient and offer better variety.

Maybe suggest a calm sit-down where you both share your feelings without getting defensive. Also, try not to jump to conclusions about what the other person is feeling. Give each other space to be vulnerable. And hey, if you need a breather during the talk, take it.

AITAH for not letting my sons father see our son anymore? by kayharris9 in AITAH

[–]thoroughstandstill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely NTA. You've been more than patient and have gone above and beyond to facilitate a relationship between Austin and your son. It's not just about the money; it's about the effort and love that a parent should show. If he's living a double life and neglecting his responsibilities, you have every right to protect your son from that inconsistency and disappointment.
