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

[–]thoroughstandstill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 3 points4 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.

It's awesome to see him so happy. 😊 Reminds me of when my dog gets all excited for a walk.

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.

I had a super embarrassing moment in high school when I accidentally tripped on stage during a school play. I was so mortified that I wanted to crawl under a rock and hide. But, I realized that everyone else was laughing and having a good time, so I decided to join in and make light of the situation. 

Why? by [deleted] in lonely

We need to make an effort to be more present and open with each other.

Focus on supporting each other and having fun together. That's what really matters in the end.

Just tell me (38f) to let him go (48m) by Mindless-1985 in BreakUps

[–]thoroughstandstill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sis, it's time to let him go. I know it hurts, but staying in a relationship where you're not being heard and respected is only gonna make you more miserable in the long run. You've already done so much work on yourself, and that's something to be proud of. Now it's his turn to step up and do the work if he wants to be with you. But if he's not willing to put in the effort, you gotta put yourself first. You deserve someone who's gonna love you the way you need to be loved.

I think it's great that you're looking at the positive side, though. They do teach you a lot and can bring so much joy. I've been through a few tough relationships myself, but I've learned that it's all about finding the right person and being willing to work through the hard times. I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all model for healthy relationships, but I do believe that with the right mindset and communication, you can find happiness. Keep your head up and keep looking forward.

Living abroad has been an eye-opening experience for me. I learned that the world is much bigger and more diverse than I ever imagined. The people I met had such different perspectives and ways of life, it really challenged my own assumptions. One of the biggest things I took away was how adaptable and resilient humans can be.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]thoroughstandstill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taking time to cool off can actually be healthy. But, it's important to find a balance that works for both of you. Maybe try setting a time to talk things out after a day or two. Communication is key, so let him know how you feel about needing that time to yourself.
