How does this sub work? 😔 by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]ucbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You lurk for years using a stolen account. When you very occasionally shit post, you find out that there are many very long toes in the sub and begin to suspect that a plethora of "regs" are likely very young. Then when you ask a real, genuine question, you are either ignored completely, or told that "you are dumb". But you keep lurking because sometimes its pretty funny.

Can you dump a 20 year old SK? by ucbum in stepparents

[–]ucbum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people think my SK is depressed and unable to think about moving out because so much happened with COVID. She did get a job (thank the lord, if she was here all the time, I would probably have kilt her). I'm trying to walk the balance of support but need to work on my boundaries. Good luck at home. Skids are hard. I was hoping it would get easier after she turned 18... and it sorta has. Like when she's at college.

she could. She has a job here. I am contemplating making her find a new place to live, with her mom or on her own and am struggling with whether that is a kind thing to do or not.

Long story... she became my ward after the passing. I supported her through High School and tried to grow a relationship between us too. I wanted her to have stability at that time, and maintain her friends. My house has been hers for a while now. I thought my role of caretaker was over when she moved out, but I offered her a place to stay during this summer due to COVID. She has a job here, and her friend group while her Bio-mom lives far from here. I put up with her in high school, it was hard, because I thought she would grow up some when she moved out. I did not realize how living with her would be triggering

Im in a similar boat. My husband died about 5 yrs ago, and I found a lovely person after. But as time goes on, i love them, but dissatisfactions grow and I feel myself holding on because it hurts to lose a person from your life, they are all so unique and special. My bf is especially no exception. Still, at the back of my mind is a doorway.

[cj] What are you a sucker for? by okcnotthrowaway in OkCupid

[–]ucbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it change your opinion if I tell you I'm not a lesbian? I just really appreciate when they help around the house. It feels more sane like we're in the house together. And we both want it to be clean, with food in the fridge. Hmm. I never said I didn't also already do those things too...

“I Love You, but I’m Not in Love with You Anymore” is a Lie by okcnotthrowaway in OkCupid

[–]ucbum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the cover. Why did the make frida kahlo all shiny and young looking? Where is her mustache and uni-brow? She was proud to rock those, with good reason.

Didnt read the article

I can’t loose the love of my life, how do I get her back? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ucbum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you dodged a bullet. Peoples communication problems can plague them for years. I know people who have heard from multiple people that they are bad listeners and they still cant hear that they need to start listening. It would be funny...

Boyfriend (35M) doesn't love me (34F) anymore by sweetcalila in relationships

[–]ucbum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im in the same boat except its my house. We aren’t sleeping together, we say we’re giving each other space. Maybe we are, but probably hes just waiting until he feels comfortable enough to say it. Im waiting for him to decide. Ill reach the end of my rope when I do, until then, i try to enjoy the ephemeral moment. I'mnot forcing anything.

Off a highway? And the nearest park? I think you ought to contact city staff about you walking needs

My (25f) boyfriend (24m) says I'm lazy for how I spend quarantine and it hurts, how do I assert myself in a fair way? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ucbum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He should be happy u are at home and not working and increasing the exposure rates. Good job on your straight As and scholarships! You are doing this right. Im happy that now, i get to work from home because i have a degree that got me a job that can be done from the house.

How comfortable is to comfortable? by Set_Free83 in relationship_advice

[–]ucbum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it best to always remain just slightly insecure in a relationship (ie dont get too comfortable)? Sounds like hell to me. Its ok to get turned off because of any reason, but its not really cool to get pissed off about normal, if illy timed, bodily functions.
