We decided to try to reconcile. To his credit, he …

“ he never harmed me” good to know my suffering meant so little to you — My ex husband left me for the mistress 6 years ago. It was hell. I am still to this day dealing with the trauma of having the person you trusted and loved so much just pull the rug from under your li…

For anyone who struggles to believe in Manifestation. Read this. — (Apologies in advance for the long post) Okay so I used to be that person who would physically cringe when someone said “manifest it.” Like, I get it. The whole world around this thing is just deepl…

I wanna change my life around for once but I'm losing all hope. — I originally wrote something waayyyy too long so I TLDR'd it as much as I could. I’ve had a tough start as a kid, especially during my teenage years. I clearly struggle with something like depress…

Men love to cry these days — Hi, I am 24M. Single. And this post is for anybody to read. Primarily those, who are sad over breakups. These days, I see so many posts, now I don't know whether they are true or not, but they are abu…

No, you didn't get lucky. I know it feels like a win, but look at how much thought and work you have put in to make a relationship barely functional. You say you don't want to fix her, but you do ever…

Thank you! He is the amazing one! He is so steady and so loving. I can't begin to explain how much he does for me. Our marriage is very happy; we communicate very openly and we both give each other a …

Just thinking about how the avoidant that I recently cut contact with told me his longest relationship was for 6 months, despite being 35 years old. Unlike my other friends, I only heard him mention …

Maybe one out of 5 matches turns into a date. I only get 1-3 matches a month if I'm lucky. Most women match and don't respond, or things fizzle out after 3-10 messages. Makes me want to give up on dat…

Half rave, half advice. I (31M) was focused on work + had self confidence issues most of 20s, so I haven’t had an LTR since college. Have never even tried the apps, so I’ve only dated a handful of wom…

It can be common. Folks have different drives and NRE(new relationship energy/ the honeymoon pahse) at the start of connections can spike drive. So it may be just a thing that fades or she just has a …

I missed being in a relationship by a few months. But what I did last year was put a lot of effort into socializing. And also was very lucky. Met my now-ex *A* at a work event along with another woma…

I have low sex drive and sleep deprivation lately so my partner didnt get lucky. Or we went out, came home and chomp on 3 double cheeseburger and pass out lol

I’m torn about this advice, and this is coming from someone who met my current partner through a social sports team. This is the second person I’ve dated from being involved in this sports community…

We got lucky. We had same last week, but it melted.

you're asking the right question, and it's the one most Jupiter in Aquarius write-ups skip. the traditional framework helps here: Jupiter in Aquarius is in its detriment (opposite Leo). not because i…

No not really taking energy out of me. It’s more just anxiety inducing. And no my social anxiety hasn’t really dulled overall. But more so in the last year or so but that’s also because I got less dep…

Yes, it’s Jupiter. Conjunct or trine sun especially.. gets away with everything and generally lucky.

I feel you dude. I think one of the moments I knew I was falling in love with her was when we were driving in the car at night and she reached over and started gently scratching the back of my head. P…

I’m 4 years out from that relationship. I took almost 1 month off work (thank god I was able to) and just laid on the couch. I cried all the time and could barely eat. The grief made me physically ill…

Lucky. Did you have to be pretty bold about her limiting the texts initially?

I wanted to make a similar post because I don't know how people have time for hobbies and to date. And I rarely get to see my friends because they're all in relationships. This is my schedule: Offic…

It was like having another child and I was exhausted. 20 yrs together. I had to teach him to clean, cook. We’d get to a bday party and a kid would be shoeless. He buckled the kid in the car but I …

I'm 50 and date age-appropriate women, and trust me, I'm nowhere near the top percentile. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I am lucky. Are your kids younger?

Something I have learned is that whoever spends the most time with someone usually wins. Thats why it is usually best to have relationships that exist on the same schedule. It sounds like you two were…

It makes matches more likely, and that’s the initial hurdle for men to cross. If you carefully read 100 profiles, and swipe right on 10 that tick all your boxes, you *might* get 1-2 matches if you’re …

Have you ever heard of astrocartography? It might sound a bit crazy, but I moved overseas and have lived in different cities, and I’ve noticed that the energy can feel very different from one place to…

Consider yourself lucky. I married the person the made me feel like I was walking on egg shells, guess what they don’t change. You’ll always feel like he’s holding things over your head. It suc…

Crazy he's not even trying. I guess I'm crazy lucky. My man always makes sure we both make it to the finish line.

Wow. You are lucky. Out of the last 5, 3 were gross. One smelled like he hadn’t showered in days. One was wearing the shirt he worked out in before our date, sweat stains and all. One definitely didn’…

I don't believe it's possible to be saved without someone saving you sorry, even finding a job that I enjoy and is compatible with my autism and severe PTSD has been a slow agonizing build and I got t…

Those 2 factors are still luck because they involve being in the right place at the right time while having skills they need for that project/job. But they also chose me over many other qualified cand…

Didn't date for almost 5 years. Went on my first first date back in January, and now we are getting serious. I've already met and hung out with their best friend / friends a couple times. We have an o…

Yes! This is very important for all the reasons he explained in the post based on personal experience. And believe him because I'm one of the few people you probably know who won the lottery. And wh…

It worked great for me the two times I did online dating. I got very lucky.

No kids? You are lucky. Leave op. UpdateMe

hahaha... i'll be the one on the other side telling you to feel lucky. :) I jumped off the boat too - dying alone sounds like a better choice.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. My entire family system on both sides is deeply dysfunctional and abusive. Rampant with homophobia, classism, misogyny, and racism. I was told to shut up and not talk about myself…

Man. I had something like this when I was 24. She was one of those young looking hotties around. I get your emotional shock but you are super lucky. I also lost my virginity with that hottie. She was …

Lucky ? What do you mean? I feel so unlucky. I go up to men I vibe with and who match my values and I find out they’re partnered. I feel so unlucky :(

I think you should cut him some slack. I don't know about anywhere else, but in Australia, we are often very relaxed about our dining and like to watch TV or a video, while sitting comfortably on the …

You are lucky. You found out her true nature before you got married. Run. Seriously. fast.

Nope, I'm just lucky. I live in NYC, I'm tall, gainfully employed, moderately attractive, and I'm looking for a serious relationship. I also benefit from being white, which is a sad reality of this …

That's the kind of idiocy he may lose in a few years if he is lucky.

From my point of view, you are extremely lucky. I would be so, grateful to my LL husband if he only allowed me to do that.

Oh sweetie, you deserve so much better. And my breaks for you. But that miscarriage might have made life a little easier. I wasn't so lucky. I was tired to my narcissistic abuser for 16 years unt…

You may not want to hear this but consider yourself lucky. It’s been a little over a decade when my antennas went up and I asked questions. I’m still waiting on the breakdown confession. I have a feel…

Books and movies and friends who got me our of that house at 17, an age when I was so close to 18 that I could start thinking about agency..? I just feel like I got lucky. Then, therapy. Then, meeting…

Time to retreat. Don't block or anything like that but I would no longer contact this person. If he writes back, I'd use single-worded responses. Anyone who does this is absolutely not an "amazing p…

Pluto is there throwing a wrench into your jupiterian dreams. Also 2nd house Saturn is also surely a factor in you feeling broke and unlucky. Lean into structure and routine, work on finding your voi…

We have a bingo. I'm happy for you! I'm in the best shape I've been in since I was 30. Divorce diet works (though I don't recommend it). I've got the salt and pepper thing going that women seem to di…

Germany is nice! I was happy I was able to hike around the country side a bit in a place where they seem to have a real spring! I also really like all the Easter decorations up! So beautiful... And t…

You're lucky. I don't think mine will ever stop. This is my life now.

I can never quite understand why Asian men are so angry. My dad is the same. So many tantrums and bruises. I became a giant scaredy cat up to my early 20s. I don't have great advice or anything like …
