This is what happens when your FA ex comes back

I actually feel that I'm only slightly anxious leaning and relatively secure but I got triggered more when he was avoidant and I think a secure person would have a very hard time staying secure. I thi…

Ex unblocked me — I’m 24f and ex is 22m, he broke up with me May last year, a few months after the break up I had to tell him to block me on instagram and Spotify because those were the accounts I couldn’t stop myself …

How do you deal with the virtue signaling?

How do you deal with the virtue signaling? — I wrote this in another narc sub the other day but I’ll try here as well: My cluster B ex (his SD-3 score is 3.9 machiavellinism, 3.8 narcissism, 3.2 psychopathy if that helps) has a habit of using h…

REMINDER: be kind to yourself. This is hard, and you’re handling it with grace and strength.

To me, right now, this is so simple but so profound. In my own journey I’m struggling for understanding, for rationale, for healing and resolution, and ultimately closure with a partner who is unwilli…

Parents spending all of their inheritance

I think this is what I needed to hear. I've been feeling guilty for being irritated and felt kinda selfish thinking things should be different

Woke up today feeling awful

Thanks and agreed. I have a close friend here and am staying in a different area of the island but yeah it’s bringing a lot back. My goal is a new country every summer with my daughter after she turns…

Broke up with DA after a year.

You wrote this at the end almost as a footnote: "As someone who was severely anxious just a year ago, the work I've done with myself and through therapy has really done wonders to being a more secure…

When I finally understood the law

Thank you SO much for this! This is what I needed. I've had moments of feeling so hopeless because I have been trying to manifest away back/neck pain that I've been experiencing for like 7/8 months. I…

In Need of Guidance and Advice

This is what I needed to hear. The only thing I can do is what’s right. The right thing to do is be more understanding and doing the best I can.

I (36F) want to eat dinner together every night. Husband (37M) is resisting.

Therapy for sure. I'd be pretty honest in a "this is what I need" kinda way. Could you agree and compromise, maybe Saturday and Sundays do this and have TV meals the rest?

I (34m) have been with my partner (34f) for 8 years. I have supported us financially for 8 years but want her to contribute and I'm made to feel like the bad guy

Still different and I'm not sure this is productive anymore. You've given her 8 years and said this need in the context of the future, not in the context of the present. Look man, I did something simi…

Bad things will lead to greater life.

Thanks for sharing, honestly it gives me hope to overcome the struggles I have to deal with. These experiences make us stronger and it's good to recognize that I'm not alone. Thanks, this is what I ne…

Daily sticky thread for rants, raves, celebrations, advice and more! - March 23, 2026

Not sure why youre getting so much backlash, this is what I needed to hear and I didnt take it in a negative way. You're completely right. The numbers really dont matter too much for me because 95% of…

I need help with a sensitive conversation of the NSFW variety (late 20F) (mid 30M)

Oh hon, listen a minute to an old grandpa. Some things in life you got or you don't. Realizing what you ain't got and doing something about it, or being just stubborn, stupid, lazy sort that just don'…

Read this if you're miserable and want your ex back.

This is exactly what I needed after always in bed time. I just passed an exam at work giving me a an opportunity to move higher. I haven't been to the gym consistently and this is what I needed thank …

AIO I (19F) want to break up with my bf (19M).

Gosh I love Reddit this is what I needed. I needed to feel validated. Everyone in my personal life has said the same and I’m just in such disbelief. I know I’m young & that’s okay because I don’t unde…

If your heart is smashed to pieces, then you REALLY need to read THIS ….

From someone who came here thinking about how to find advice on how to move on after being heartbroken for the first time (at the age of 31, Jesus 😂), I think this is what I needed. I hope you’re oka…

My dad just texted me to "get over it" after 8+ months of silence

Don't explain or justify yourself, it puts you on the defensive immediately. They will argue your feelings with you. Keeping NC would be for the best, but If you need to say something, keep it short a…

If someone were to say "How can I be there for you?" What would your answer be?

This is what I need. I know there are people that care, but I have yet to find someone who can truly be with me in a space. I’m so good at holding space for others. It’s sad to not receive it. Actua…
