This girl (25F) and I (31M) have been seeing each other for about 4 weeks now. We have been to 4 dates! The first two dates were more of like laying the ground work but date 3 is when we really took off (first kiss/make out). Last night was our 4th date and we spent about 5 hours, ending with a 1am walk and a nice make out session. We have had a conversation of moving slowly so I am super satisfied with our pacing and where we are at. She also hasn’t cancelled any of my date proposals and always had willingly accepted them.

Last night, towards the end of our date, we went on a 1am walk around the block and the idea of going on a coffee tomorrow (which is today) came up. We both have work that involves computer and basically decided that we can both go to a coffeeshop and get some work completed. we both agreed and then I dropped her off at her doorsteps, kissed her, and said goodbye. She told me that she will text me about coffee today and I said cool.

Fast forward to today, I had stuff going on this morning and I received a text from her. Somewhere along the line of she forgot that she was hanging out with a friend so she asked if she can raincheck the coffee situation we planned. I am totally cool with this and also she doesn’t really cancel on me, this would be the first but somehow, she didn’t give me any alternatives. She just asked if we could raincheck the coffee hang. I responded that it is totally no worries and we can figure something out later.

Now my problem is navigating the next couple of days. I am wondering if I should follow up on her since she did not give me any alternatives but deep down I also feel like the ball is in her court. I do want to continue getting to know her so I am torn on what the best course of action is.

We obviously are the type to not text much in between dates and rather do all the talking in person.

What would you do? we

I hear terrified screams and I thought it fell into his bed. I go in this thing is moving at turtle speed across the ceiling. How did I raise this child to be so defenseless 💀

FYI didn’t respond. That may sound weird but I’m 15 and pretty sure they were gonna sell try to sell something that definitely wouldn’t be the safest

He needs to be stopped lol

There was only one time that I didn't respond and that was to this one snap that she had sent me.

I’ve been talking to this guy for a month, we worked together but the job closed for the season a week ago. We don’t talk so much anymore, just friendly. We hung out once, made out and then idk I got the hint he wasn’t interested anymore. Some context, I know he loves Halloween so I had asked if he was gonna do anything fun and he told me “no just sit in my room and cry” so I said why and he said idk just been feeling like it lately. This isn’t the first time he’s mentioned he’s not doing too well mentally but he doesn’t elaborate.

I went Friday to pick up my check and I saw him, he stopped me to talk. He asked what’s up I said nm wbu and he said “not much, I cried yesterday” so I said why and he said idk and changed the subject.. rest of convo was normal then he gave me a long hug goodbye and told me I smelled good. About 2 hours later he texts me “hey” so I said “hey” and he never replied. He has never texted me just hey before so idk what he wanted. Then at 4am yesterday I couldn’t sleep and I saw an IG post that said “I hope something good happens to you this week” and I said “✨✨ I hope you don’t feel like crying this week” just being friendly since he keeps mentioning he’s sad. Well I woke up today to being blocked on IG. So I texted him saying “if you didn’t wanna talk anymore you could’ve just said that you didn’t have to block me it ain’t that serious lol” I was surprised my number wasn’t blocked bc usually ppl block u everywhere…. And he replied this.

I have never had someone block me and lie about it?? Just see it through my boy, does he expect me to believe this 😭😭 what did he wake up and regret it or something. Literally what even.

He's awesome.

His preferred name is indeed Ka’deem (كاظم), which is Arabic for “one who suppresses anger.” Obviously, it suits him, because he has never gotten angry or corrected me. I usually go with adding names from a single language, (like Ka’deem Oleg Bolomolov, Ka’deem Maurice Lawrence Smith III of Oxford, etc). He’s answered every time cheerfully without fail.

I’ve been in the hospital for three days with recurrent pancreatitis and was updating my ex-MIL about it this morning and she sent me this. Made me smile how she added the “hope you don’t mind” lol, because she knows I’m not religious. This is how you pray for people. Any other time in my life I’ve received a “prayer” from a “Christian”, it was out of spite/anger and said in sarcasm over something petty. Which is funny because that is taking the true meaning of “taking the lord’s name in vain”. I just love this sweet lady.

Guys what should be my comeback

She's always had a gambling problem, but she's been telling me and my siblings for years that she quit gambling, I believed her. She was admitted to the hospital due to alcohol induced psychosis, and while she was sedated I went through her phone to see if I could find any evidence that it was a suicide attempt, (she's had many in the past) I found texts from Paypal listing all of her transactions. $200 just in the month of August on "double down casino."

I confronted her days later about it without letting her know I saw the transactions and she lied to my face. Three times. She even swore on all her kids lol. I walked out without another word and have gone no contact since.

If you have a narcissistic or BPD parent, you can probably understand my decision to go NC. It's not JUST about her lying. I'm a new mom and I feel the need to protect my own daughter from her, as well as myself.

The money she's talking about giving me is $1,500 that she stole from me and has been promising to pay me back for 8 years now. 🙃

Also sorry if this is confusing or if I'm like rambling. It's 1 am and I'm exhausted, but can't sleep because I'm anxious and overthinking everything. I just needed a place to vent and to put it out there.

i’m an exclusive pumper who stopped sticking to my routine and my milk supply dropped drastically, i’ve been doing everything I can and pumping a million times a day to get it back up. my husband works 12 hour night shifts so I sent him this first message before I went to bed. i’m the luckiest woman alive for having someone who is so supportive.

So an old coworker of mine who quit a few weeks ago (F16) has been texting with my current boss (F64). Things seemed fine at first, although I found it weird that they were texting in the first place because of the age difference and possible boundary issues. I thought it was a case of just wanting to keep in touch maybe here and there after leaving a job, but this does not seem that simple. I’ve known my boss for years and she’s always been great and I love her, so I’m quite shocked to see how she’s texting my previous coworker. I know she has no bad intentions with these texts, but this just doesn’t seem appropriate. I am unsure if I should do something about this, and if it would even make any impact? My old coworker loves this person and isn’t bothered by anything she’s saying. Since she doesn’t work there anymore, I don’t know if it would make a difference mentioning it there, or going elsewhere. I feel like I’m doing something wrong if I don’t report this somehow because there’s no way this is appropriate behavior.

got this text today. on another note they scheduled me to appear in court at 2pm on election day. does anyone think that’s weird
