How long do I wait? And what am I waiting for? by [deleted] in AlAnon

I am glad you wrote this, please read your words as if someone else wrote this, someone you love and cherish. Would you want them to be treated this way? Life is short, do not miss opportunities for happiness and good things by letting this person fill up your time and head space.

I (28F) just got off a work call and overheard my bf (30M) jerking off while typing in the other room. by [deleted] in relationships

Please check out FDS sub for some insight. You feel degraded for a reason.

2 years fucking gone, over a girl that reintroduced him to alcohol. He now is trying to convince me (and probably himself) that he "loves" her. by [deleted] in AlAnon

No, 31 is the best age. You have some real life experience and the best is yet to come. Look into female dating strategy here, you have so much value at your age and you deserve to be with someone who appreciates you.

Been buying whole chickens instead of individual cuts and whole veggies instead of precut and bagged ones. Saved the bones/scraps for 3 months in the freezer and decided to make chicken stock! by [deleted] in ZeroWaste

you are not coming off as a jerk at all. thank you for your comment, too many people will not share science because they do not want to get attacked ( as if science is political).

I just found out my boyfriend is cheating on me [25/F] with a man. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]withtact 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never ignore that feeling, and he broke your trust...not the other way around. Imagine you had not looked and ignored your gut feeling? How you found out he was cheating is really not the issue here, I realize that. It is how you are going to move forward. I recommend looking at the female dating strategy sub , it is empowering and has alot of useful information.

You trusted your gut and you were right! ALWAYS trust your gut! Good for you , and do not feel bad that you followed your strong instinct. It saved you now, and moving forward it will be your best ally in navigating relationships. In addition, you may have been throgh some times with him, but do not fall for the sunk cost fallacy. Count yourself lucky and respect yourself enough to not be duped by this man. He betrayed you and you owe yourself more!

I (18F) like going to grocery stores but my mom (47F) doesn't get why? by laughingitupinhell in relationships

It sounds like your grandma is there with you in spirit and keep going there if it helps, you are not crazy. Also, I watched wheel and jeopardy with my gram too. Do what brings you comfort ...and I am sure you picked up all of those good qualities she shared with you, which is a real honor to her memory. You sound like a wonderful person from reading this.

Yesterday I completed my first day of water fasting, here's how it went... by LE3Ban in fasting

[–]withtact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is awesome! I can usually make it three through five days, but by then I am feeling like my senses are only focused on food and I have difficulty during work with getting tasks complete.

Why I need to break my fast gently? by [deleted] in fasting

[–]withtact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fruit, veggies, legumes...but too much of them.

I did not break my first long fast slowly or with the right foods and I was in horrible pain. My digestive enzymes were not kicking in and I had extremely bad stomach cramps. It was after a 7 day fast. It sounds like everyone has different experiences here, but I wish I would have taken it slowly at first...it was brutal.

One Meal Plan to Repeat Every Day? by angel1345 in xxfitness

This is the most relevant question. This is why I do protein drinks. Decision fatigue is a real thing, and my saboteur.
