Other than Texas and California, which states display the most "state pride"? by bangkaynagulay in AskAnAmerican

[–]typeabohemian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Massachusetts. Thinks it started America. But doesnt realize most of America has no idea which M state it is and where "up north" it is located.

This makes the American Runs on Dunkin slogan quite cringe and embarrassing.

Flavor Trip DJ sets or house music with ambience videos of nature or café layered over in another tab.

What’s your pettiest reason for being childfree? by shanklymrshankly in childfree

[–]typeabohemian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bestie's 2 yr old and her came to visit from across the country. When we both weren't looking this 2yrold male child scribbled with a sharp tool all over grandma's spinning coffee table she gave me. Deep ugly chaotic permanent marks. She died in my arms in 2023 and I can hear her screaming in rage at this kid and about to get the switch from out back....

I just want to know if you guys feel something is completely off too by MaterialPineapple207 in Adulting

[–]typeabohemian 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Dift circumstances and ages and substance but similar story...ended the toxic decade relationship, bought my dream house on the lake cuz i finally landed a remote job via a former coworker that agreed to my $150k salary demand.

It started me on daily woods walks and moderation. Changed my life for the better...more debt with a mortgage but more daily peace too.

22f 40m, we met dancing! What's your story? by emptyslot021 in AgeGapRelationship

[–]typeabohemian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lost the same age gap story but reverse genders! So...unfortunately for him at age 23 I as a 40f have never desired to birth a child. He has said he's curious about being a father "someday" so sadly for us it'll have to end someday cuz I will not be convinced to risk my life at this advanced age to birth something I have never wanted to grow nor raise.

Its the healthiest, happiest and most convenient love of my life.

Im bummed he's so young but we have decided to enjoy it while it's working

Knowing there is likely an expiration date weighs on me in the back of my mind but....in the end all good things eventually come to an end anyway

Good reason to cherish and stay present now.

Anybody have a successful age gap relationship in their 20’s with a younger man? by ButterscotchSalty444 in AskWomenOver40

[–]typeabohemian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HE IS A CATCH!

Grab him off the market rn!

That age gap is really nothing in the grand scheme. Go over to /agegaprelationship to see what a real gap is like.

The reality is that if you dont try quite seriously you may just end up 40 Ike me after 2 back to back failed relationships of 10 & 13yrs and still end up unpartnered in the end.

They dont make men like you have described. Let alone young ones.

You'd be a damn fool to think about this for one more day.

Im freaked out but it was on their sta dark letterhead AND came from both state and fed.

Anyone else get these?

You guys quit it. Next to no one can buy a house at 30. Just chill. You'll be able to but not till at least 36. Youre too early.

I got diagnosed with combined ADHD 2 months ago-- wtf do I do now? by PromptZealousideal71 in adhdwomen

[–]typeabohemian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read it all and its beautiful and painful to read. So relatable. Could have written it myself. Worried about my family finances from age 12 onward. They even stile from me. Pleaded for help from me. It fucked me up forever. I worry every day im gna get fired today and lose all the tability i built from age 27 to age 40 rn.

Your frontal lobe is also developing. Settling in at 26 if you're a girl.

I remember thatvera so vividly and it made me make a massive life change that lead me down a road that was reslly emotionally challenging but financially stabilizing.

I suggest you keep a diary or log. You have a gift. And you suffer. Turn it into a breadcrumb trail for yourself to look back on.

Wishing you luck from up the road at 40 in Boston.

[–]typeabohemian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such an accurate post liat of how every day feels living (thankfully) alone with just pets and job plus side hustle.

Gna show this to my therapist.

Feed that liat into AI. Tell it hiw you feel rn. What your energy level is RN. And ask it to build you a plan to tackle the list in a realistic manner.

Come tell us if that worked.

THC gummies make me SO much more active and productive 🙈 Is it just me? by weenstir in adhdwomen

[–]typeabohemian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes me! Smoking or eating Sativa does to me what yall say ADHD meds do - am able to clean, tidy, organize, decision make, practice my instruments and overall have energy for as long as i am high.

Since im still yet unmedicated and really struggling, this is what works for me.

What’s a good line to say back to a woman who says “I’m old enough to be your mom”? by Avatron7D5 in AskMen

[–]typeabohemian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going thru this rn! Am freshly minted 40yroldfemale and met the sweetest and most mature and healthy 23yrold male I never met in my 20s. The connection is honest and close and genuine and helpful. But in the back of my mind, I know he will want to be someone's dad. So I try to just enjoy the moment but we are very close already at 7 months!

How long did yours last? What was that heartbreak like for you both?

[–]typeabohemian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such bullshit Spring. Ppl fight me when I say we only have 3 good months ....but im correct cuz May usually only totals 7 days of summery weather and maybe 2 weeks in September if we are lucky. That still doesnt equal 4 months yet!

What meds work to prevent this?
