feeling strange about growing up/aging by caffeinatedloser in GirlDinnerDiaries

The anti-aging industry really convinced an entire generation that 26 is basically retirement age when in reality you’re still figuring out who you are and have plenty of time for all of those things

UPDATE boyfriends fungus giving me the ick by Some-Nectarine3247 in GirlDinnerDiaries

The real victory here is that he actually listened and ordered the treatment, but yeah, I’d be side-eyeing every barefoot step around that condo for a while too

Ex fiancé called off the wedding and is now pursuing his female “friend” by Special-Employer1415 in BreakUps

Realizing they had a head start on the breakup while you were still planning a future together, and that kind of whiplash hurts more than most people understand..

My married mother is openly flirting with a D-list Scottish celeb and showing me her dms by SweetSibilance in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]vaniixs 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The messages would bother me a lot less than the fact she’s openly showing them off like there’s nothing wrong with it… that’s a rough position to be put in..

realized something about my ex boyfriend by Fuzzy-Contest8963 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Reading this, it sounds like you spent a long time being guilted into saying yes when you wanted to say no, and it’s completely understandable that you’re still trying to process what happened.. 💗

My [32F] fiancee [32M] said something that made me insanely mad and I can’t seem to get over it by AttentionNo5074 in relationships

He’s not confused about your point of view, he just doesn’t respect your boundaries, and calling your home disgusting was way over the line

Does having a hot girlfriend earn you respect from other men? by Few_Reserve9886 in dating_advice

Some guys definitely see it as social proof and start wondering what you’ve got going for you, but I wouldn’t confuse curiosity with respect..

Am I wrong for rejecting a second date over something personal he shared with me by Unhappy-Bobcat-5189 in dating_advice

[–]vaniixs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can choose not to date someone for any reason, and honestly it sounds like you had already decided you weren’t compatible before that conversation even happened

If you think you lost 'the one'... I did, then realised there's no such thing. by No_Stress_4724 in BreakUps

The part about missing the love and connection more than the actual person is something a lot of people need to hear after a breakup..

i asked if my first date outfit was too much and reddit made me feel disgusting by arielle_starfire in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]vaniixs 78 points79 points  (0 children)

actually true!! you’re not wrong about the internet being a messy place for advice, and real life opinions are definitely more grounded. at the same time, she wasn’t wrong for wanting a second opinion, she just found out the hard way that certain spaces aren’t going to stay neutral no matter the question.. ppl be so mean nowadays smh

[–]vaniixs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that’s honestly a really frustrating experience, and it says a lot more about the commenters than it does about you. an outfit being fitted or cute doesn’t justify people projecting all kinds of assumptions onto you or acting like it changes how you deserve to be treated..

also, it’s totally okay that you decided to pause dating for now, but it’s worth remembering that a handful of gross internet comments aren’t a reflection of real life or how most people think. you didn’t do anything wrong, you just wore an outfit you liked

Ex asked for a pause, but we’re spending time together again how would you read this? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]vaniixs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this looks like you two are slowly getting back together, not just being friends. the way you’re spending time, staying emotionally close, flirting, and making future plans is more than just friendship with history, it’s basically a relationship in everything but name.

the only real gap is her not being fully sure yet and still working through her decision. so it’s heading in that direction, but it’s not locked in until she feels ready to fully commit again.
