First, I want to start this post off positive: recently, I’ve pretty much killed off my self-critical part of my mind, and I am now very confident in my sense of self and what I stand for.

That being said, I still have a small problem: I let people, specifically complete strangers on the internet, get under my skin and ruin my day.

I don’t really get into arguments more these days, but whenever I encounter comments that are obviously trollish or of another similar nature, I let myself get so annoyed at it even though I know I’m not going to change their mind, and that I don’t even need to consider what they are saying.

This problem isn’t new at all, as even before I was active on the internet, I always let mean comments ruin my day and get obsessed over them.

So, how do I stop ruining my own day over this type of stuff? I know that the obvious answer is to get off the internet, but I feel like I’m always going to encounter that kind of stuff, and honestly, I want to build a thicker skin in regards to that.

What sucks is that my reactions seem so automatic that it’s hard for me to stop them…

My heater and AC are out due to water damage from flooding, i’ve applied to FEMA for funding to get it fixed and was given some money to hire a professional to look at it and I submit the estimate to them as requested but they’ve kinda ghosted me after that so I’m giving up hope on getting it fixed anytime soon. What can I do to safely keep warm?

I’ve been using space heaters but I’m really nervous about fires. I try to only run them while we’re home and we have ones that shut off if they get bumped or knocked over but I’m still kind of worried about the safety of them. We also have pets so I’m concerned about keeping them warm while we’re not home as well. I’m originally from California and just moved here to the Midwest about a year and a half ago so I’m really pretty brand new to the whole winter thing and I’m really stressed and overwhelmed about making it through winter with no heat. Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hello internet parents, I (18F) am preparing to move out of my parents' house and I want to proactively try to learn basic home maintenance type tasks so that I can fix (easy) things that break, or at least stop an immediate crisis (like the toilet suddenly springing a leak, before water floods the whole bathroom).

The problem is that I don't know what things are important to learn or where to start. I probably should have learned this kind of stuff already from my parents, but I have a complicated home situation and that was not really an option.

I don't have much free time (I'm either working, watching my little siblings, or catching up on sleep) so I need to learn the most essential things in an efficient way. My goal is basically to not be one of those clichéd completely helpless young people and to not be completely clueless about what to do when something breaks at the most inconvenient time possible.

What should I know and how should I learn it well & quickly?

Thanks so much!

About 2 weeks ago someone in my family accidently hit my shoulder and upper arm with their car. My parents spent the rest of the evening yelling at me and telling i'm not allowed to call the emergency room without their permisson, because cleary i am putting them in a situation where they are risking a visit from child welfare. I went to see the doctor alone after my mom agreed to drop me off. And she was very nice, and asked if i wanted to report the traffic accident to the police, i said no. Luckily i was fine, the doctor told me i got a small injury on my upper arm, and ordered me to wear a bandage for the next 2 days with an ice pack. Next day i was about to go to school, i asked my father if he would help me put the bandage on because she advised me to get assistance. He said i don't need the bandage and that i was doing it for attention. Honestly, i think it was more about what they wanted people to notice and ask about.
My mom told me she was tired of me always letting my frustration affect my brother, and if i want to move out before i'm 18, something they have agreed i might be allowed to do. Then i should consider maturing. I'm 15, and the injury wasn't the bad part, i knew i would be fine. Its about the lack of support.

What should i do ?

Hi indian 22m , i found out my by mum cheating on my dad with my cousin my uncles son , my dads very close family friend and several others several times as i can read between the line. I saw my father has grindr in his phone and multiple people , i found out he is a gay. I only know about this in in family , about my mom and my dad. I saw others sext and nudes too.

Both my parents are cheating , as in india you cant call divorce they are both above 48-52

I had a dysfunctional family growing up, i can understand my mum cheating as my father has always been rude, agressive, no empathy towards my mom, so she had to find someone to go to.

They dont know that i know, no one in family knows i know

I cant respect my father now, i cant look him in the same way, he is gay and he is not at all cooperative with my mum and always disrespectful.Plus my dad has some serious lifelong disease.

But his work ethics are something i admire, he does everything even when he is not okay dur to disease to showup at work. And mom being mom.

And i have seen my mom always agitated throughout my life every sigle day no sign of calmness.

Is this a love hate relationship with my parents?

On paper life looks good, house, okayish money, but deep down dysfunctional family, no respect between parents.

I donot know how i have processed it, i am vening it out for the first time.

Both my parents are cheating, i donot want my future family wife and my kids to have any bad effects of this, i wanna keep this to myself, what can i do

I am just venting this out for the first time. Maybe god has choosen me to teach all the lessons, i just want a stable loving people around me, is this too much to ask for?

What can i do , i cannot confront this to them, there is no day we as family has talked emotionally with eachother, even i havent talked my heart out with my siblings?

Am i cooked? Fuxkk Plus i got betrayedd by gf . 10 years of relationships.

I donot want your sympathy guys, just venting it outtttt. I know god has plans and reasons for this.

todays my grandfather’s birthday, and my dad didn’t even bother showing up. my grandfather is someone that has done so much for my dad and his family. my mom and i are for the dinner, he didn’t even drop us. we had to take an uber to show up today my mom and i noticed that he had removed a photo frame with a photo from their wedding day without our knowledge

Hey everyone,

I'm reaching out because I'm at my wit's end. I'm facing a mountain of financial problems and I'm feeling incredibly overwhelmed. I've been unemployed for few months and despite countless job applications, I haven't had any luck.

To make matters worse, my brother, who has a medical condition that limits his ability to work, is also a compulsive gambler. Recently, he manipulated our mother into selling her gold jewelry to fund his addiction. I'm devastated and don't know how to help him or protect our family from his destructive behavior.

Our ideologies clash completely. He believes in quick, easy money and avoids hard work at all costs. He's made some really bad financial decisions and even scammed some of our family members.

I'm feeling lost and alone. Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated.

I’m a college student in my sophomore year. I’m the eldest daughter and the eldest granddaughter in my family. My family lives quite far at the moment and we aren’t as close as I’d like us to be. Recently I’ve discovered that I give a lot. In terms of energy and care to my friends and family even though I don’t receive as much back.Im referred to as the “planner” friend and the “responsible” . I feel It’s partly my fault that I don’t get as much back since I honestly suck at asking for help and feign strength most of the time. How can I overcome this as lately I’ve just found myself feeling increasingly more overwhelmed and burnout?

I used to date a very toxic guy back in 2021-2022, it was someone i knew since I was a kid on and off, but I realized he was nothing like I imagined.

He love bombed me at the begining and gave me reasons to stay, because he yelled, called me names, insinuated so many times that I was not confident at all, cheating on him, hinted about my weight at the time (69kg), it was a terrible ride with long nights of physical heart pain while screaming at me, and me asking for mercy everytime, hemade me cut off friends and caused me multiple doctor visits.

I went on Facebook to check things on marketplace, I clicked the search bar and I made a mistake, found his name with a new profile picture there, and I got curious, he's visiting from CA and is in Marrakech apparently enjoying life.

And I couldn't help but feel envy, how can someone so vile be happy? Enjoy life and not even care about how they leave people broken behind?how can someone like him have a good life?

It's been 2 years, I'm already in a serious relationship and my current boyfriend knows about this nightmare I went though, but it's not reminiscence I feel towards my ex, it's wanting to make him miserable the way he made me but I know it's not wise, not the right thing to do

I'm trying to forgive the side of me that let him do these things to me, but I can't seem to forgive either and in this loop that when I remember, I stay in bed and be sad about it and I just hate it.

I'm here asking parents for a parent advice on this, I only have my mom and my relationship with her isn't like that.

For reference F 29 this Thursday and he's 30. We don't live in the same country anymore, but I'm stuck inside my head back in those days.

I F(19) have been in a relationship with M(22) for coming on two months next week. I am a college student and will be going home for Christmas break which is a month and a half long and i absolutely need to tell my parents before then. For some prior information

• When I mean parents I usually am referring to my mom. She is a quite hot headed individual who tends to become very upset at the slightest inconvenience or unusual subject. She has pretty dramatic mood swings and when she is not on control, no one is able to talk. Also is not able to have an adult conversation to save her life. While my dad is very laid back and go with the flow, this is a subject I’ve never brought up.

-I’m 19 in college studying for medical school

• I live with my parents when I’m not at school
• I’ve never been in a committed relationship. Haven’t ever discussed any sort of attraction towards men with my parents. Nor have never brought anyone home for them to meet. Have had relations in the past but they never knew about them

-my mom has specifically mentioned how glad she is I’m not in a relationship in the past month Back to the story I feel pretty good about this relationship which is why it is crucial that I tell them, I just don’t know how. The holidays are coming up and I’d like to see him around those times. My parents have trackers on my phone so it’s not like I can go and then lie about where I was. He is really wanting to not have to wait to see me for a month and some time but if it came down to it would absolutely wait if I didn’t have the opportunity to. I’m just very nervous to let her know because I’m not too sure how she’d react. My brother M(24) recently had introduced his girlfriend F(21) to my family and my mom is not a fan of her and lets her know it. He held off as long as he could because he knew she would be upset. While his and I’s age gap is around the same as theirs, since I’m the younger one I fear they’ll be upset about that. Additionally, he didn’t go to college (which is very important to my parents) but is instead involved with the trades. Now what’s funny is my mother’s career is centered around promoting the trades for high school students but when it comes to her own children, she would not want us to be with someone like that. He’s so precious, has his own home, supports himself, works a great job and welds on the side. He’s seems perfect but I don’t know how to surpass my parents expectations. Help please!

My bf (we are both 25, he just turned 25 and I am about to turn 26) found a random hat in the trunk of his car and now he thinks I cheated on him. Neither of us have any idea where it came from (so he claims) and this isn’t the first time he’s accused me of cheating on him before. I haven’t cheated on him, and he’s never had evidence that I have, but always accuses me because of his insecurities. This happened right after he left my family’s Thanksgiving after drunkenly making an ass out of himself the night before, and caused a scene. He left the next morning (today) without saying anything to anyone and on his way home he texted me saying he found a guys hat in his trunk and that he knows I “cheated on him”. The hat has the logo of a local fire department in my city, and looks brand new, with stickers still on it. I’m not sure what to do here because I have no way to prove that I don’t know what it’s from, and I’m not sure how it got there or how long it’s even been there. Now he’s just been blowing up my phone with toxic messages, and accusing me of cheating. What do I do?

edit I forgot to mention, I have used his car 3 times because I didn’t have my car at the time. Hence why he is accusing me of being the reason the hat is in his car.

edit pt. 2 my friends think he planted the hat or something. whatever it is, if that isn’t true, it makes me so sad that he genuinely believes i cheated on him. i suggested that maybe the hat came from him getting both emissions and oil changes done recently but i just have no idea either way. i just don’t want him living the rest of his life wondering why he wasn’t enough. because he was. i just wanted him to get help in regards to his insecurities.

Im a male and 19yr old. My friend I’ve known for over 15 years died in a car crash last night. I don’t know how to feel and have mixed emotions. I hate myself for not talking to him or seeing what he had planned the night of thanksgiving. I wish this never happened. We were supposed to go on a trip together in a few weeks and now I have to look at him in a closed casket.

How do I stop myself from spending everything I make, I wanna save up I’m tired of having my account with no money or counting my days till my next pay, it makes me feel a bit hopeless I’m 22, and have always had a spending addiction, how do I fix this 😓

I failed my boards and I honestly don't care it doesn't change the way I see me. But I am SOO ashamed. It's the social aspect of being judged. My therapist is one of the only people who really see me and I'm worried she won't see me no longer as a hard working intellectual. Like I'm fake. My family has made huge sacrifice for me because I'm studious and I failed. It stings when I hear them talk about. I'm strongly attached to my therapist and she is very expressive and I dread she will cringe like my mother. :( Be honest have how you viewed someone changed after a failure? I have no one to turn to, I dont want to dissapoint my therapist. Words?

So I’m 21 and am feeling a panic attack coming on. I am a biology major. However, I dealt with thyroid cancer and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis for most of my undergraduate years in college. I attended a community college during this time. I had to retake some courses. I am attending this private University on scholarship and my health has been stable (I’m in remission, results are still inconclusive, but there is not sign of disease, antibodies are elevated tho despite there being no thyroid). At this new college, I took a lot of animal/zoology classes, but I took this intro to molecular biology course. I am excelling in that course and my professor says I’m very capable. I developed an interest in cell signalling and molecular genetics. I was gonna try to be a PA, but now I kinda want to go into biochemistry or molecular biology. But I know job prospects are a bit uncertain in those fields, and I’m dependent on health insurance to pay for my medication that I need to live. So that sucks.

I’m just freaking out. I’m scared of getting cancer again. When I was battling cancer, I was sorta on my own emotionally. I also experienced a lot of setback in my academic career due to this disease and the severe symptoms I got. I never want to feel like that again. I’m scared of failing. I’m scared of hating my life, my job, my future partner, ect. I’m scared of developing a different kind of cancer. I’m scared of developing a disease. I’m scared of being a failure. I can’t really talk about this with anyone. My family refuses to acknowledge anything bad really happened, and I’m not allowed to show any real emotions around them. I don’t like burdening people so here I am. Honestly, I sometimes think I’m not really scared of getting cancer again, rather, I’m scared of just being alone and feeling helpless.

So maybe a dumb question but I honestly have never burned myself before now and don’t really have anyone to ask. Happened about 30 minutes ago on the edge of my finger. I tapped it against a super hot stove top and immediately pulled it away so thankfully it’s pretty small. I ran it under some slightly cool water like Google said but it still hurts like crazy and has this tingling sensation. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations to help it heal quick and prevent a blister or help the pain?

i work at a shotty fast food joint. my drawer keeps coming up short. one day was -$40, one day was -$8, and today was -$18!! i’m not a thief. that thought has never even crossed my mind. i TRIPLE check every bill that i give to a customer. no one can log in under my name but me, i keep my swipe card on me at all times. what in the world is going on?? i even have began showing the change i give to the cameras to show that my math isn’t wrong. i’ve been handling cash for years and this is the first register job i’ve ever had an issue at. advice??

I’ve (f18) been sectioned and have been seeing a psychologist, I’ve been diagnosed with adhd in the past but didn’t think I had much wrong with me

She ran a few tests on me and I explained I experience memory loss and ppl usually tell me I’ve been hurtful or mean afterwards.

Soon she dug deeper and diagnosed me with DID (dissociative identity disorder)

I hate it, I’ll black out and wake up to see I’ve done things online and offline that I’d never do, I feel relived but I’m also annoyed and scared, I hate this so fucking much man

Hey guys how can I bypass a clickfunnels ad?

Ive (F22)got about a month until I move out with my partner (M22) and I’m kinda stressing about this new chapter. I want to be super on top of things and be organized. What are things that help you? What are basic adult things that I need to put in my calendar quarterly/ monthly. What maintenance needs to happen? Is there a guide book? Should I make my own?

Thank you for all suggestions

I'm freaking out ! 😭 Not in a bad way I'm excited but iv never done anything like this before I wish it doesn't become awkward Me and her have been planning on this for a while now and it's finnally happening on her birthday

What should I do? How can I make sure things ain't getting awkward? Any tips ANYTHING???!!

So everytime my boyfriend don't get his way or anything he planned goes wrong he gets mad and stays mad then finds reasons to get even more mad. It don't help that he's a constant drinker. Refuses to admit he's an alcoholic. But then he gets even more mad bc I just want to cuddle before going to bed instead of having sex. I'm not big on having sex like that and I've told him this. But then he says it feels like we aren't even in a relationship. But he's always fighting with me over everything. Everything I say he says is stupid or don't make sense. So at this point idk what to do. He expects to have sex every night.

Not sure if this is the correct place for this. I just need some guidance.

I’m 25F. My mother is 62, my father is 60.

They are phenomenal people. I am so, so blessed to have parents who care for me to the extent they do. I became closer to my mom in recent years, but my dad..

This is my problem. My dad is a SEVERE alcoholic. He drinks about two pints of liquor (from the bottle) a night, 2 packs of cigs a day. This has been the case for over ten years, but has gotten progressively worse. He is deteriorating right in front of me. His skin, his teeth, he pees everywhere and then falls. (For reference, he was hospitalized for a fall and his blood alcohol content was over a .4).

He is my absolute best friend. I don’t know how to turn to anyone but him. We talk every day. He’s quite literally the other half of me. I can’t imagine him dying in general but watching him kill himself is absolutely destroying me. My mom visited him for thanksgiving, saw him shaking uncontrollably in the morning and told him he’s going to break my heart.

I just need some words of advice, some ways to cope with this. I know i’m not alone in how i feel but i don’t know who else to ask. :(

Thank you.

Hello guys, I am 14 and me and my mom are homeless. We tried getting help, we even tried shelters and I don’t know what else we can do. We moved down to FL in August 2023 and October 2023 we became homeless and slept in our old car since late October. If anybody has any tips, please tell me. Have a blessed day and happy holidays.

I'm going to the Docs today about a reoccurring pain in my side, the symptoms seem similar to my partner's fatty liver symptoms but I still feel terrified and scared of not knowing fully what it is...I'm usually pretty strong n confident bout things so long as I know all about it but with this I don't feel that cuz I don't know so I'm gonna act against my fear and get checked out if I get any responses I'll update....

Hey y'all just started at a new job after mostly dealing with military. I signed up for benefits, when/where do I get my ID number for it so actually use the benefits?

Hey there everyone, I am seeking some advice hopefully from others with similar addictions as I am feeling pretty lost atm. I (24f) am an alcoholic, a third generational one at that lol I grew up with my parents (both in their 50’s now) drinking very heavily. I want to preface that they are both very happy and functional drunks, they have their moments as alcohol will do that to you but they are very much not your typical drunk angry jobless parents. It’s always been a pretty open thing that my mom’s mom died from complications from alcohol as well.

And as you all can guess, I learned pretty damn fast I’m not any different from them. I’ll save you all the long version but to sum up from 20-21 I had a very traumatic year. It was quite literally insane how much trauma could happen in a year, and it ended with me single living alone in an apartment, with a license to drink. And drink I did. For 2 years not one person in my life saw me sober for longer than 12 hrs I was constantly drunk.

This is where problems started with my mom and I. Growing up alcohol was not something prohibited, if we were having a party at the house and I wanted a couple beers at 16 it was fine, dad made mimosas I got one too, etc. So it was very shocking to me that at 21 she suddenly didn’t like my drinking. I got extremely defensive and angry any time she brought it up, and after a while it just started leading to huge blow out fights. To her credit, I did very much have a problem I was drinking way too much. But from my perspective, it was like throwing stones in a glass house.

Skipping forward to more recently I’ve gotten a handle on the fact that I’m an alcoholic. I have a great support system and a loving partner that have all seen me become healthier, heal, and drink like a normal person. My best friend who has been my biggest cheerleader through all of this (even moving me out of my apartment into her house at one point to help me get better) cried because I had a few beers at her birthday and didn’t go into a binge. I love her dearly and don’t think I would’ve been able to get better without her if I’m being honest lol

The only time my drinking really gets out of control is every time I see my parents. It’s pretty normal that if I’m sitting at the table talking w my mom my dad will just pass out the beers, take the empties as we finish and get fresh ones. I don’t really pay attention to how much I drink when I’m there I never have as it’s just always been how the house is, ya know? Well my mom and I still fight about my drinking. She’s been aware that I really only drink like this when I am with them, but still insists I have a problem and shouldn’t drink. However if I come over and don’t drink, that starts a fight too as now I’m being “weird” and “need to loosen up”. It’s extremely frustrating. The fights have gotten to the point that I don’t like going over there, my partner hates going as I always leave crying, and it’s just turned into a huge mess.

I’ve tried to talk with her about it after the fact when we’re both sober, and when she’s sober she apologizes and tells me she knows I don’t have the problem like I did before but the second she’s drunk that all goes out the window again. I completely skipped thanksgiving this year as I just didn’t want a fight, it’s exhausting.

I love my parents, and before all of this we had a really good relationship. But I’m at the point where I just don’t want to see them to avoid a blow out fight. If I drink, I’m an alcoholic, if I don’t drink, it’s weird I’m not drinking! I can’t win with them! She invited us to come over to decorate the Christmas tree in the next few weeks and I want to go, but I don’t know how to get through to them. Is this just a thing we’re gonna have to live with? Does anyone else with addiction struggle with this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated cause I am truly at the end of my rope with all of this.

Hey, y'all. Using a throwaway cause my main has pictures of me.

I'm conflicted and trying to figure out how to approach a roommate conflict. What I thought would be an easy conversation has gone straight to hell and I don't know what to do.

I (M29) am moving apartments with my partner (M33) and roommate (M35). We found an incredible unit that ticked almost all of our boxes and signed the lease yesterday. We're currently moving out of our first place together. My roommate, let's call him George, has been an internet friend of mine for years. When my partner, we'll call him Tom, and I moved to his city—the three of us moved in together to get more bang for our buck.

Overall living with him the past year was pretty good. He could be more proactive in cleaning the kitchen and sometimes needed a spot on utilities but he's been a good friend, keeps to himself and we like spending time with him. We all decided to move together again because sharing a space has been fun.

The drama started when I requested the Primary bedroom after signing the lease. I'll preface this by saying I absolutely should have cleared asking for the room beforehand. I can see it comes off super underhanded now. It also goes against our current layout. Tom and I have separate rooms because we're both introverts and like having our own spaces. So George got a bathroom to himself and we shared one we could access without going through another person's room.

I requested the Primary because I have a senior cat who is the sweetest thing. However, for the last year, she's been having issues with... uh... thinking inside the box, let's say. The messes are gross and embarrassing and I wanted to use the change of space to retrain her. I've seen that a way to do it is to confine them in one room. The Primary bedroom would give me space to do that. I guess I thought it would be fine because Tom would use my bathroom so he would still have his own and not attached to his room.

George has not taken it well and it's caused friction as we butt heads. But for me, it's less about the fight and more about the reasons for him to get the unit that's making me uncomfortable.

In our first argument on the matter. He said it was shitty that I made this case after we signed the lease (Fair.) However, he then took it a step further and said I shouldn't have the Primary because I have a bunch of part-time jobs instead of a full-time like him and, therefore, a more inconsistent income to pay the extra for the Primary. I was taken aback at this. First off, why was this relevant at all? Also because he actively owed my partner money right then.

To his credit, he apologized for saying that, but then the convo turned into our second argument. I tried to reiterate it was to help retrain my cat. His response? Well, I don't have that many years left with her so what's the point in trying? He also stood his ground and said he'd only budge if Tom (who at this point smartly abstained himself from the drama) rooms with me. Then he gets a whole extra bedroom to "film content" in—which is just insane and something he definitely can't afford.

I've never seen him like this. Usually, he's super sweet. But the places he's taken this conflict are making me uncomfortable. He's bringing up how I make money and how my cat will die for extra closet space and an attached bath? Even with my lease snafu, It feels disproportionate to the actual things at stake. I'm starting to get worried about living with him and then I question if it's the stress of the move. This feels like a petty spat that's exposed some serious issues. I don't know whether to A) continue pushing to get this room and B) if we should make plans to not live together after the lease is up.

Appreciate y'all. Hope you had a nicer Thanksgiving than I had.

AIO or being paranoid.

I moved to a different city and didn’t tell anyone because I wanted a fresh start and to get away from the city my abuser lives in. For brief backstory, my abuser is my child’s father who has nothing to do with us, he has never met my child and I have safety orders in place. Any way I moved cities and didn’t tell anybody, it’s been going really well, I feel happy and safe for once in my life and feel like I can step outside without panicking. My anxiety has now somewhat gone and it feels like I can be the mother I’ve always wanted to be without living under a rock trying to protect us from my ex.

It came out to a close friend that I have moved, this person is someone I do trust they have never shown me that they can not be trusted.. However they are well known amongst the community and my ex and this person share some of the same mutual not many but some. It came out and now i’m paranoid again, scared that they might accidentally slip up and say something and then it gets through the grape vine to my abuser.

Im scared he’ll find out and he’ll come here or he’ll get people he knows to keep an eye out, it now feels like I can’t be free anymore.

So for context, I (26F) have spent Thanksgiving alone since I was 19. My first year alone, I cried but im emotionally over it/withdrawn from being upset or feeling any emotion towards it.

I’ve recently been dating somebody new (28M), and things have been great. On one of our dates, I brought up how I usually spend Thanksgiving alone, and he offered to let me spend Thanksgiving with him.

I was warmed by this but told him I’m used to spending it alone. I’m not going to feel lonely and I would not want him to feel obligated to spend a holiday with me when I’m not his girlfriend.

He persisted, and I accepted. He told me that his parents were out of town and that it would be him his little brother and me. I asked him if he were sure multiple times, and he reassured me that it would be great.

Well, he hasn’t texted me since Tuesday, but he did let me know that he got really busy and had last-minute expenses. He has expressed to me in the past that he has a fear of embarrassing himself financially in front of me. I told him that being honest with me should never be embarrassing, and if there’s ever a time that he can’t afford something, I don’t mind chipping in.

I guess that he could not afford to pay for all three of our meals, and disappeared on me the day of.

I guess what I’m more upset about is him not just flat out telling me, not even texting me happy Thanksgiving, and bringing my hopes up (slightly)

I wanted to text him this “not even texting me, Happy Thanksgiving is crazy, I think I’m good off of what this was supposed to be. Nonetheless, I hope your Thanksgiving was well 🦃🧡”

TLDR; a new guy that I’m dating told me to spend Thanksgiving with him even though I’m used to spending it alone, he ghosted me/abandoned me the day of and I’m disappointed. What should I text him or even at all?

I'm deleting this just need quick thoughts
