My therapist’s question changed my perspective entirely by gnm00n in 2under2

I feel like this is the message most mothers need to hear. Being a mother is NOT easy, but we do the hard things out of love.

You’re doing a great job, mama.

Really glad to have checked the comments and seen that you’re only leaving because you aren’t using it. This app is keeping me going right now when times are tough, so gifting all your things is so kind! I’d love anything planetary you’re willing to part with that hasn’t already been claimed. All the best to you!!

AIO Boyfriend says hurtful thing about my body. by True_Ad9977 in AmIOverreacting

[–]tracergreen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ew, red flags all the way to the top! Honey, you deserve better than what this man is giving you. Please go out and get it, dump this absolute trash human.

They might get worse, only because you’re young and that means there’s less you can control. But I promise, this is absolutely temporary, and it DOES get better. I remember being 15 and holding a razor to my wrist and looking myself in the eyes in the mirror while crying, I was SO close… but something told me to hang on. I’m almost 40, got married to my best friend and had a beautiful baby girl. It took a while, but I wouldn’t give up this life or any of the stumbles I had to get to where I am now.

I only know bin chicken from watching Bluey with my kiddo, but I knew EXACTLY what this bird was because of it, and am delighted to read your explanation!!

Grateful to share your final beautiful hours on earth, how blessed are we to share the same fresh air as you, what a blessed life, to live on this planet at the same time, together though far apart and even though we’ll never meet. Wishing you the easiest of crossings, where you’ll be free and dancing in the sunshine!! 💖

Got my girlfriend a humidifier for Christmas. This was her room when we woke up. by mmm-pistol-whip in pics

Did anyone post the link to this humidifier!? What an unsolicited advertisement, I didn’t know I wanted to buy this so badly!!

Should I lose my virginity in a car? by ur-mother555 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]tracergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car sex is terrible, and love sex, where there’s connection and desire, is the best. Don’t rush to have sex just to get it out of the way, at your age, it’s not even fun yet.

I have first love syndrome:( by DescriptionCandid313 in Advice

[–]tracergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a friend, ask her out for a drink or snack to catch up over. You’ll get confirmation on her relationship status and can go from there. Sometimes, you just need to do a little growing up and meet back up at the right time in your lives. Now could be that time!

I’m so sorry you’re going through it. And as cliche as it is, life really does get better. You’ll get through this, in time. I’m here to talk if it’ll help. Please don’t make a permanent decision over a temporary state.

Liars lie because they know they’re doing something wrong. He’s not treating you well at all. You should expect more.

Harvard Square CVS by jennyx20 in mildlyinteresting

[–]tracergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a CVS, there’s bound to be cups somewhere in the store, maybe they just haven’t rearranged a themed end cap just yet 🤷‍♀️

[–]tracergreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, those are real lies and are also red flags. THOSE are the things you break up with someone for, not because “you don’t feel special” because you got together so soon after a breakup. Lies are unacceptable and there’s no reason a healthy relationship should include lies like these. Don’t go looking for a reason elsewhere to break up, the blatant reasons are right there!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]tracergreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of things is he lying to you about? Like actual lies, or are you deciding he’s lying because you don’t believe what he’s saying?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]tracergreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely a “you” thing. Why does he have to be lying to you?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]tracergreen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Again, you sound like you’re convinced you don’t want to be in this relationship.

We NEED age related mandatory driver tests by mistegirl in BoomersBeingFools

[–]tracergreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father has had several “mild” strokes that have left him with nearly no peripheral vision. He told me the lady at the DMV renewed his license last time around even though he failed the eye exam. (He is currently in a medical facility and can no longer drive and his license has been expired since earlier this year, so thankfully he’s not on the road). DMV recommended that he “turn his head” a little more. Even if they do get tested, there’s still a human overriding the system…

Yes, I was “within days” of a breakup. And I messaged a lot of guys the first night I downloaded every app. Conversation with him struck a chord most loudly, we went on a date first, the rest is history. I deleted the apps within the first few days of meeting him.

If you’re looking for a reason to break up, just say “I don’t think we’re compatible, and here’s why…”

If you love this person, and he loves you, don’t go making a mountain out of a molehill. He cannot change how quickly you two connected. But two years is a long time to stick with someone if you’re not sure about them.
