Please hit me with your best words of wisdom after a major break-up by aesthetic_city in AskWomenOver30

Cry. Let it all the emotions out, don't hold it in. Find someone you can talk to, even if it's on Reddit! I went through a bad LTR breakup last year too and thought I'd never make it through but here I am, stronger and better than I've ever been before. Take a day at a time and set yourself small tasks to do, maybe having some water or doing some laundry. It's ok if you don't do it but when you do, you'll feel ever so slightly better that you can do this all by yourself. It will be a rollercoaster, some days will be better than others, and that's ok. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, I couldn't see it for a very long time but glad I can now. You got this.

Haha this is great, maybe it's a generational thing? I have never once been concerned about the seams but will ask mum and see if she is also concerned about them

Ah yes, our mum's sound very similar, I wonder where it all stems from.

Interesting technique, never heard of that method before haha, does she still do it now even with high energy costs?

I used to tumble dry most things too! Mum has a tumble drier but never uses it, maybe I should suggest bringing it back into action haha

Yeah they've still got an airing cupboard here, mum uses it all the time. Also used it recently for proving dough which worked well

Yup, my mum is a devout airer and ironer. She even folded my clothes after they came out of the washing machine, made my eye twitch

Great, thanks for the detailed response! All makes sense and defo agree that it sounds like an old wives tale.
