Glad you are out of that! I was with my ex for five years and we have been broken up 1.5 years now. I just sold the house we lived in together though (closing in a week!) so all this drama is fresh in my mind.

I have also noticed that a lot of men will clean areas they consider to be “their areas” rather consider cleaning the whole house as a task they should be doing. Like straightening up the bathroom they primarily use but not the guest bathroom because “I never go in there” or ignoring whole rooms for the same reason.…

I hate that “Helping me do the housework” mentality. You’re right that it is bullshit. It is supposed to be both people’s house so its both people’s responsibility to clean it and keep it looking nice and livable!

When I bought my home it came with these shag carpets! I hated them but I kept saying, “Next year Im going to tear them out and put in hard wood floors!” three years later Im selling that house and never did get rid of the carpets! You live and learn!

YES! That was a big thing for me too. He needed to be told what to clean, what chores to do, when to do them etc. Im like JUST CLEAN WHAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED! And when I did I was like you, mentally doing the task on top of what I was already doing. It was always exhausting.

I remember when my ex and I were still dating and living together. I worked a regular day job 8-5 and he worked weekends. He literally did SHIT all day, I mean nothing except get up at noon or later and fuck around until I got home then cook dinner (nothing fancy but he would cook dinner as long as I told him what to…

I get the platitudes or blank stares. A lot of “you are fine” or “look at all the great things you’ve accomplished, how can you be depressed??” or “You are only looking at the bad and not all the great things around you!” One of the worst is when I said “I just physically and mentally can’t stay in the situation I am…

One of the things that hit me really hard with this episode was the dinner table seen when her aunt says “You can tell me if something is wrong, you know that right?” (or something similar) and Ashley says “I have been telling you something is wrong, over and over again.”

Thats true, but she was good in Short Term 12 as well and her short stint in Community and I actually LOVED her in Captain Marvel. Not so much in Endgame but I chalk that up to her filming that first before CM and not fleshing the character out yet.

YES, she was phenomenal. When she lost it at her mom and said something like “Im sorry I am not nice anymore! if I hadn’t had your voice in my head telling me to be nice, I wouldnt have helped the guy with the dog!” I lost it. Such heartbreak, such a good moment. 

I agree with everyone on this list except Brie Larson. I will die on this hill thank you. 

That header image is CREEEEEEEPPPPPY. I feel like she is about to murder me/him/everyone she stares at through the screen. 

My last tattoos were done on my forearm and got very close to that area where your arm bends - its shaded blue here -and I can verify that it hurt worse than any of my other tattoos. My last one is two otters holding hands in the ocean and the top has these bubbles floating up. The artist asked near the end if I…

I also use DND at night usually paired with my phones schedule which is like 9pm - 7 am. I like theater mode primarily because I work at a desk most of the day but as a graphic designer so I use a tablet to work on projects so the wrist flicking gets distracting for me. I just realized I didn’t really need it. I do a…

It works for me and what I bought the watch for - I don’t have to justify myself.

I keep mine in “theater mode” all day because I hate the wrist flick to turn it on - I find it distracting - so I only charge my watch for the hour before I go to bed and even then I am usually still around 50% battery life and thats after I’ve gone to the gym and everything. So even if I forget to charge before bed I…

I know it is not Nashville specific but it is REALLY egregious here but when you stop and get gas a stranger will walk up to you and give you some story about needing gas and how he is broken down - just needs 10 bucks or something - yes sounds like a scam BUT he (almost always a he) will usually be very nicely…

Good luck to you too!!

Its okay! I mentioned in a different comment that I think it would have been different under different circumstances. Had I had a support system or had I purchased a home with a partner. But in the end - being a single homeowner - i just bit off more than I could chew at this stage in my life.

Ahh okay. When I was in HS. There was a whole different program where the classes that were concurrent to college. I can’t remember what it was called but it was a different course selection but it was only offered for credit at the community college classes in my state. So if you wanted to do like English 101 type of…
