But hear me out: so I recently finished watching “Hidden love”- (had dropped it after coming across spoilers etc) and “ Everyone loves me”…sigh ,my reviews.
Hidden love- I must say Duan, was the greenest flag carrying this relationship. His character was very healthy and a good first relationship start. The series was cute, the banter between the siblings was a good comic relief without being too much. After going back to the beginning to rewatch then complete, I finally noticed and understood something’s alot better . So Duan was not a creep for wanting to be with FL in college, because he did not fall for her until after reconnecting during her freshman yr. FL on the other hand was already crushing from 2yrs prior while still in high school. I respect that he did not entertain any ideas about her during her middle/high school years.. he was a friendly brother figure. Now fast forward to them being together.. FL was very spoilt in my opinion (maybe due to how her family sheltered and provided everything for her) for all the things Duan done for her , compromises he made for her, chick had never said “thank you”🙄. Duan’s faults: why had he never made a police complaint or input a restraining order against the psycho chick from the beginning? there was no rational reason for her behaviors . The other part that irks me was the parents reasoning, that due to his family’s concerns they didn’t want Duan with their daughter… but it was ok having him visiting your home all those prior years, tutoring your daughter and a friend to your son, but when he wants to join the family it’s a problem.. FL’s reaction and expression during intimate moments was very misleading.. yes admiration can turn into love… but was she really there yet?
Everyone loves me- the title.. who ? Who?- both leads are from few of my favorites, I’ve watched almost all of their prior works. There was not much romance between the leads, 90% of the drama focused on the AAA game genre ,work politics and the FL pig headed personality, she rarely listen to the ML explanation she was more concerned with how he rejected her and her pride could not handle the embarrassment so she tries to hurt him by getting even. The remaining 10%.. eps 19-24 (they finally got together) but the FL wanted them to hide the relationship 🙄.. then the forced second couple (their romance development was unnecessary). Both dramas will not be in my rewatch list, def a one time watch .

So we live in a subdivision and we have a neighbor on one side and they were on the other side so the neighbors who moved in because we were here first and it's a brand new subdivision they are pretty cool they keep themselves they are kind of private just like us, the other neighbors beside us they from the start have been very adamant and in your face kind of neighbors
But that's not the issue the issue is how we ended up on meeting and what's been going on ever since
Usually my family we go ahead and we take my children myself and my husband to go knock or ring the doorbell and introduce ourselves and strike up friendly conversation etc, this is how we see it appropriate or just meeting everybody so we're not going back and forth then doing that whole thing we just want to get it out the way and have everybody meet everybody
So I'm working from home in my home and my husband is outside playing basketball with my children and the neighbors who are kind of in your face are home but the husband and the wife are home and the children the woman next door sends her children inside and then walks over to my husband and just loudly just waves him over and she's like always your wife home and he's like she's busy, and she just like oh I wanted to meet all y'all and all this other stuff and she just said that her children have been trying to meet my children and it was kind of odd because she sent them in before she came over to say hello to my husband and didn't bring her children to say hello to my children who are out there playing basketball with my husband also she didn't make it a point to go inside and get her husband who was also in the home to come outside so they can all collectively say hello which was kind of off-putting.
But nothing else was thought of it so it had been a while since any interaction, me and my children ended up bumping into her husband on our way to the mailbox and we had a conversation and said hello and a few things and my children met his children they started to play because they actually wanted to meet them just like she said and what not so we let them play for a little bit we only just talked for a moment and then I left went back home and then shortly later in the day the whole family comes and shows up to our home I guess he told her that we had a conversation and the children played so I guess she then wanted to come and meet me.
So they show up to the door they come at dinner time and we're just kind of in a rush and so we all say hello and this is when the red flag weird stuff starts to happen is after her husband is standing in front of her she's lightly kind of behind him so he can't really see what she's doing but she's just like back and forth staring down my husband like a piece of meat, giggling and trying to catch his gays repeatedly, and then looking back and forth at her husband trying to see if he's looking or not she didn't look at me one time while she was standing on my porch and then I made a comment and said that I had met one of her relatives when I was going on a bike ride and she said that she likes my hair and my outfit and she said oh okay and then she continued to glance back and forth at my husband and her husband and she had no interest in me and having any kind of conversation or real meeting of hello or anything.
So after that it left a bitter taste in my mouth because people like that they tend to have it all but they need more and they need like attention from the outside even though they have everything right in front of them they can't really see it. but anyway she struck me as this attention seeker and it turns out she actually is.
so her whole family came to the door, we were eating dinner, and they wanted to know if our children could come out and play and I said we just sat down to eat and you can tell that she was bothered by that and bothered by the fact that I answered the door because before she came up she was primping herself on the doorbell camera,
So I let her know that we would be coming out later after we're done so we go over and then I have her children come out and play with my children for a little bit.
We end up having a conversation while they were playing and at first she did seem kind of genuine but then she started to get over the top and just started saying I was so funny and she kept hitting me and trying to be buddy buddy and over and over again putting her hands on me laughing and it was very off putting and very fake feeling like she was trying to get bloody buddy with me somehow very quickly.
She referred to my husband as Daddy and it was kind of off-putting the way she had said it and then because I didn't like the way she said, what about daaaadyy is what she said when she asked about my husbands involvement in our day today which was kind of weird.
So I went ahead and when we were talking I said it back to her yeah your children probably need daddy too and I said exactly how she did and hopefully she got the head but nope and also she was asking me for advice about staying home and needing to be out just needing to be doing something because her husband was taken care of her too much and working but he wasn't even working a lot he work from home and in the office but he said she didn't have to and that he takes care of her but she doesn't want him to she wants to just be out there in the streets essentially doing something and being seen.
Her words not mine.
And she said she can't help it because she had her children she doesn't want to be just cooped up in the house everyday or something like that.
And so that was kind of off-putting and then I mentioned focusing on your family like being present with them and focusing solely on them reaps really good benefits because you create a closer Bond and you don't need outside anything to feel complete essentially what you have is inside of you and I just kind of reference that when she kept saying that she needs to just be on the go when she can't sit still and she said her husband always says that he's got her and that their mom needs them and things like that and I said I agree because I know how I am with my children and I have my children all the time and my family works really great because of the way our dynamic works and I tried to like give some knowledge and information to her but she kind of wasn't hearing it and didn't seem interested really in that dynamic.
So after that day she text me and wants me to go to the park with him but I'm in the shower and I never see her text message till I'm done and I have like this whole routine so it takes about an hour or so until she's just like in the park and I finally text her back the park is up the street and I text her back and she's just like kind of upset that I didn't show up and that's understandable but I did let her know like hey I was busy and I didn't see your text message can we try and do something else and so I let her know that we can have the boys hang out and we hang out tomorrow and then the next day me and my kids went for a walk and she was also on a walk with her child, we briefly passed each other cuz I'm coming out of my house and she's entering up the sidewalk to the driveway to her house she sees me and I just kind of stand there waiting so I can wave her and she just like looks through me and continues to walk
So I didn't think anything of I just kind of laughed to myself because it was kind of a petty cuz she clearly saw me but whatever but I texted her when I got back from the walk and said hey I saw you on our walk a few minutes ago I don't know if you saw me, but I just wanted to let you know that the boys are available at this x amount of time, she text me back later lets me know the time works out so the boys and I come out there later on that day at that time then this was before our dinner time so I tried to accompany and accommodate, my children are out there playing basketball and this woman literally at the exact time at her children are supposed to be out there text me and said one of her children were in trouble and can't come out there we'll catch you all next time
And I said thanks for the courtesy etc and so the next time we saw her was when my husband was cutting the grass I was inside doing some housework he was outside cutting the grass with my children running back and forth doing everything like they usually do and so during that time she makes her way outside and she's got this really short pink dress on and it's like really cold outside and it was just like really alarming to me and she's just like out there walking around sweeping her front porch and then like while my husband is cutting the side that's closest to their house she's like back to back with him and she just makes it a point to be like hey how you doing and just other stuff even though earlier in the day when we got home we both wave to them from the car and said hey and so it was kind of odd that she made another appearance to try and speak to my husband, he brought this to my attention and he said that he was very brief about it because he knows how things are between me and her and how we revives were between us and so he just briefly said Hi and then turn back around and kept cutting the grass and so I guess that wasn't enough attention for her
So after he was done cutting the grass I never took myself outside even though he said that she was out there and was trying to strike up a conversation, after that and he started to do the wrap up , but the hose away put the gutters back on and all that stuff blow the grass away.
And so basically I get a notification on my phone from the doorbell camera and the garage camera went off as well and I'm like okay someone has been spotted that's what it says and I look and I see this person standing there in a pink dress mini dress she's right there in front of my house sweeping the grass out of my driveway and sweep in the grass almost basically to the other side of the neighbor's house she's directly in front of my house sweeping my grass up going back and forth essentially waiting for my husband to come out there and I don't know what have an interaction talk I don't know look at me I'm cleaning up your grass I have no idea
And so I let my husband know like I see this happening right now on the camera and then he's just like I'm about to go cook dinner he goes to go cook dinner and I let him know I'm going to handle the cleanup and then I go out there with the broom and I walk out there I don't say anything to her and I just started sweeping and then she looks shocked to see me cuz I don't even think she knew I was home because the car wasn't in the driveway and then she just walks past and she's just wiping her nose and has her head down and she just walks back up to her driveway, her husband was cutting the grass on the other side of the house by the way her children were running around but she was in front of my house and in my driveway back and forth sweeping my grass instead of over there helping her husband with his yard work she was in my driveway and the other side of my yard sweeping the grass
And then she just after she gets back to her side of the house she's just like hey how you doing? And I say good and then I keep sweeping and then like she got this like grin on her face and she's just like see that I'm like visibly like annoyed with her and so she just keeps it moving, and so after that I went to the house and got the leaf blower and just started blowing the grass out so I can get back in the house cuz I was just like I was just really irritable, I'm blowing the grass and then I hear her come up right behind me and say hey hey where did you get that leaf blower at and I turned around and I said I don't know it's old and then I continue to blow the grass away and I guess she took the hat because I was pretty Stern with it and I think she came back to say something to me to see if I was in a good mood or to see if I was still like angry essentially because she got caught doing what she was doing
I didn't sugar coat when I spoke to her and I'm thinking okay she got the hint. And then a few days later she tried to make a playdate and then I said my children are unavailable at that time then, we were going to a nearby Creek and taking my children they wanted to go and we ate before we left we were going to leave around like 4:30 and so we didn't leave at 4:30 we ate and then we were going to leave now as we are eating I get a notification on the doorbell camera and the garage camera yet again and it says person has been spotted I checked the camera and she's out there walking back and forth back and forth back and forth with her children trying to see if we're going to come out trying to see if she can wave at us in miraculous and any kind of way I don't know but she's in front of our house her house on the complete other side and she's just back and forth walking with them
And we ended up leaving a close to 5:00 p.m. so by that time she already went in the house
And after that I just was done with any kind of interactions with her because she is very off putting and she gives off this vibe and energy of I am being fake. And I have an ulterior motive and I need to Garner attention from Men even though I have one.
Even the guy next to us was outside cleaning his car and then her husband was in the house yet again and after he went inside I guess he was like busy , So she took it upon herself to scream across the yard and say ooh that looks good. Referring to his car and so he comes over and then starts talking to her across from our yard and and her yard and she starts complimenting his car ridiculously and was just asking a bunch of stuff about his car and his pain and and what he does and how does he get it to look like that and just a bunch of stuff and what crossed my mind was the whole married women complimenting another man's car perfusively was kind of off-putting.
And so they carried conversation for a while and then to the point that he ended up getting his phone and trying to show her something about his paint job and then he actually paused before he actually had her come over and like look at the phone and she goes oh you can send it to me and I don't know if they have each other's numbers or whatever but I heard her say that and then he actually paused and said I sent it to your husband actually and then she was just like oh okay and then she stopped the conversation and went in the house
Just yesterday because we haven't had a moment to cut the grass in a while my husband cut the grass after he got off of work so me and the children were outside and we were all doing yard work like we usually do I was trimming and the boys were trimming and picking things up in the yard and she pulls up. Usually she picks up her kids and then goes in the home closes the garage and we don't see her the rest of the day, but since we are all out here and my husband's got in the grass she made it a point to pull up leave the garage open open trunk and just bring her kids out and have them running around in the driveway which I knew was going to happen, because whenever my husband's out there she makes it a point to be out there but when I hop out she flies inside of her house
So I'm out there packing up my grass and I was done because my mom had called and so I'm on the phone with her and my husband is starting to cut the side of the grass closest to her house and so, I say on the phone and I'm just like talking on the phone while looking into her driveway and garage knowing that she's going to pop out at any second to try and get some kind of attention from my husband because she's been doing that, she actually came out when I was right there just waiting and then she briefly raised her hand and waved while my husband didn't see her so he's over pushing the mower back and forth back and forth and conveniently she's in the garage going from one side of the car to the next side of the car from one side of the car to the next side of the car she did this about eight times
And he never looked her way didn't give her any kind of attention so eventually she went ahead and close the garage cuz I guess she saw me actually noticing what she was doing so she closed the garage and went house so my husband stops or is finished cutting the grass on that side of the house so he pushes it to almost the back of the outside of the fence now they don't have a fence, so her kids ran out and were right there while my husband was cutting the grass I'm guessing she was all so back there as well to try and say hello to my husband from the back of the house because she knew I was in the front of the house
And he said he didn't actually see her he was just focused on cutting the grass but I'm sure she was back there since her children were running around back and forth back there as well.
So that was pretty long but that's what has been happening since she moved in here, I am not sure how to go about anything her children seem very kind her husband is very nice and not red flaggy at all she on the other hand has the need to go up to every single neighbor and talk up people but specifically because I live next door to her it's like a game to her because she finds every moment to speak to my husband I haven't even mentioned the other times that he was out there just like cleaning out the car and she just hopped out it would just stand there and try and get his attention and then he would not give her any attention I wouldn't even look her way, it's like she can hear when we're out there or here when he's out there doing something and she can find a way to speak to him and it's really off putting and I'm not really sure what to do I've been closing all of my curtains and blinds because when she first got here she was actually looking and standing straight across looking straight. Into my house for a lot of good 5 minutes while I was vacuuming and so I close all my stuff up.
I would love some recommendations on how to peacefully handle this situation I am not sure what is going on mentally in this woman's head or why she needs to Garner this attention and I just want to be kind about it because I actually tried again and wished her a happy mother's day but then this incident happened after that so I am just done with the situation I feel like, I don't have any desire to try and be friends with her or even just be neighborly.
I would love some feedback or advice on how to peacefully go about this, the only time we are really out there is to cut the grass and do yard work which is pretty rare so I guess we don't have to really see them.
All feedback is welcome, I am close to pushing 40 so I really don't have the mental energy to deal with this kind of situation anymore I'm feeling like it's beneath me and very childish to actually do any kind of intentional situation as far as ignoring and things like that or being unkind I don't want to get roped into drama and things like that and I just wish that woman healing to be honest.
But I would love some feedback on this scenario thank you.

Hi Reddit,
I'm currently in a relationship for 1 year with my boyfriend and everything is going fine execpt for one thing, his ex.
To give a little background informantion, they've dated for 10 years and broke up about 3 years ago. The reason for this is that he fell in love with someone else during their relationship but they've seperated as friends. The reason things ended with this previous girl 26f, is because she also had a lot of troubles with his ex. I know he still feels guilty about what he did to her and it's a nice thing you can still be friends after this, well they have dated for 10 years so I can understand it's hard if you have to choose between friends and let some of them go because of this. I would never expect from him to drop his friends because his ex is also there a lot in some occasions, like festivals, drinks, weddings, etc. But my definition of seperating as friends is a lot different than his.
Like her, I feel like I'm not the priority, more like a third wheel sometimes. I'm very insecure about this topic probably because my ex cheated on me with 2 of his exes. It was a very dramatic breakup because of a number of reasons and a long story but I know this made me so insecure and fear it might happen again.
I told him this quite early in our relationship that this is a huge insecurity of mine and I have certain boundaries which he accepted I thought. But I know they have contact quite regularly, mostly text. I told him I wouldn't be comfortable if they were seeing each other just one on one, which I know they did a lot when he was dating the other girl. I'm not sure if he did it in our relationship, I just know of one instance. She was just getting some stuff in the house, were we now live together but he could have just communicated that to me. I know he asked her to come before I was home, which is very weird, if you don't have anything to hide then why do this. Tomorrow it's gonna be the same, she's getting some stuff while I'm at work and he just says I have to accept it and get over my insecurities. We had a lot of fights because of her. I can see her name constantly popping up his phone, so I know they text a lot. He told me they only text each other a couple of times a year, so I know that's a lie. But he just doesn't care anymore, he even enjoys it a litte bit to see me getting afraid I think. He just gets angry and there's no empathy at all.
I remember from the beginning when we were dating he told me to just accept the fact that he's friends with is ex, and I think he said it that blunt because of past frustrations with the other girl. But I was new in the situation and didn't have anything to do with that, in my opinion it was not needed to state it that harsh to me. I told him my story with my ex, but I feel he doesn't quite understand what it did to me. He has never been cheated on, which is good for him ofcourse, but he just doesn't get it what it can do to you. I know I'm overreacting as well, and I'm taking the steps to keep my emotions in control, like going to a therapist for this specific issue. My insecurity is getting the better of me and I'm also being to harsh to him sometimes, I know that. But it takes 2. He assures me he doesn't have feelings anymore, and I do believe that somehow. It's just the communication I don't get from him and understanding, why get so angry, why lie about stuff.
When we were together for a month we were supposed to go to a festival with some friends of his so I'd get to know them better but she was also going to be there. It was a group of 9 people so quite small. I told him that I wasn't comfortable yet doing so, I'm quite introverted and it takes a lot of energy for me to get to know new people. But he just expected me to do this so I could see I have nothing to worry about and everything would be chill and fine from then, but it's not chill and fine for me. I didn't go, but he did anyways and that just hurt me a lot. The first time meeting her was a kind of set up from him and he just pretended like he didn't know this would happen and got angry again at me because I was not prepared for that. And I cannot stress this enough but I told him, communicate these things with me, especially regarding your ex, because of my past experieces.
He just doesn't understand this is a very difficult topic for me and I have other boundaries than most people in this matter I suppose. I told him as well, if you cannot agree with my boundaries then it's no use to be in a relationship with me but he does want to stay and I know he loves me but this bothers me so much. It's no use forcing someone and everyone has different boundaries and insecurities due to past relationships. It's wonderful if you can find someone who can heal with you. I know I have to do a lot of that myself and cannot rely on another person to do that completely for me but still.
I'm someone who needs to talk about stuff and I know he's not used to that. His ex was not like that and they didn't really have that much deep conversations which he missed and he likes the fact that I do. But I can tell this is not in his comfort zone at all. I said it a number of times I really wanted to talk about this topic with him, properly. And he told me I can and I should, 'I promise we'll talk about it, you can ask me anything'. He even admits he avoids it. But it never really happened, and I'm confused as to why he gets so angry and why there's no empathy from his side. He just gets really awkward about it, even when I try to be nice to his ex, and I can because she's a nice girl, he just finds it really awkward. I just don't get it. He wants to push me into this 'friendship' with her but on the other hand that's too awkward for him. He gets angry because I'm insecure and I don't trust him, but he is just so vague about this topic and get no communication, only if I ask the questions.
Can anyone relate to this situation and give me some advice on how to handle this?
TL;DR! I'm very insecure about the relationship between my bf and his ex because of my past expierence of being cheated on with my previous partners ex. My bf expects me to just get over myself and stop being insecure. If I want to talk about it he gets angry because I don't give him trust, but he doesn't want to give me communication around the topic when I ask for it.

So I'm 33 and I've been revenge evicted from my 2 bedroom house, my landlord wanted to raise the rent last year but I said I'd agree a certain figure sum until he dealt with damp in the wetroom and a silverfish infestation (there was also a woodlice infestation) but then he got back to me barely an hour after this proposal saying he wanted to sell the house. A few months prior to that we lost a pet. We had koi fish we had to sell because we didn't know if the place we were moving to would have a garden (we had a koi pond)
I have BPD, Asperges, and depression, I think I have PTSD as well I had a shit childhood, lost a parent to suicide at 10, bullied and ostracised in 3 schools, my family are narcissists and alcoholics etc my boyfriend has ADHD and depression. Because of impulse spending (it's a symptom of BPD) I've fucked up my credit and so has my boyfriend because the council won't help and no landlords accept people with CCJS we've had to move into a chalet which is near 2 motorways and is noisy at night because of traffic, we've also had to keep our cat in for 2 weeks as is standard for when you move to a new home and he's struggled to deal with it so I've felt awful for this the other night I cried when he was ripping curtains at 1am/2am, my bf has been in and out of work with depression (hes a plumber and gas engineer) so money has been tight, my family think I've "downsized" by living in a static caravan (no pisstakers please) and that I've idk chosen to live here?? If I didn't live here I'd be on the streets. I'm lucky to have this place but at the same time I don't know how to describe what I'm feeling about what I've lost and gone through, I've been crying on and off for months since i was served notice by the landlord back in November. Nobody in my family knew about this apart from my sister.
I have moments where i think I enjoy living here with my boyfriend and I've made it nice inside but then there are moments where I hate the noise of the motorways (I sleep with ear plugs) the woman who lives near me is ALWAYS doing DIY of some sort outside, there's noise from other people doing DIY it's like a fucking construction site, the people seem off (mostly tradesmen live here) I can hear everyone walking around outside and talking, there's no private garden, my appliances are outside so I have to go outside to do the washing and drying but I have to keep my cat in, it's in the middle of nowhere and has beautiful country scenery and wildlife but even just to get shopping is nearly a 20 min drive and costs a fortune in petrol. I have no friends only my boyfriend and me and my sister talk but we argue a lot because we're trauma bonded and I suspect she has quiet BPD.
Her and my aunt came round just now and I felt idk almost embarrassed that our bed is in our front room and it's basically a bedsit of sorts, I felt on edge even though my aunt said nothing but nice things, I can't see us being able to leave for another couple of years until we sort our credit out but I've been blaming myself relentlessly for landing us here and so has my sister because I let my credit get that bad I let my debt spiral even though I tried desperately to sort it out but I needed her help (she's my carer on paper) and she promised she'd help me sort my debts out but she never did. I got myself into a debt management plan over Christmas despite suffering a crippling depression but it took weeks to do. It's my birthday today and I feel idk..weird, I'm living somewhere I keep on/off liking/am on the fence about/sort of hate, I don't want people coming to see me and I can't figure out why idk if it's because I'm ashamed even though I'm not but I can't make sense of it, the only reason my family know I've moved is because my 6 year old niece let it slip when me and my sister went for a viewing at the chalet.

I’ve been overthinking a lot these days cause there’s a slim chance that’s I’m pregnant, my boyfriend and I talked abt it already and we both agreed that we were careful, that one time we had unprotected sex (he completely pulled out before he finished), i’ll list down some of the important stuffs and pls let me know what you guys think
reasons why i think i might be pregnant :

• my period is 7 days late (according to the flop app)
• precum exists even if he pulled out

reasons why i think my period’s late :

• my period is ridiculously irregular, earlier this year my period was late for 2 months and it came back again (wasn’t pregnant or anything, it’s just like that)
  
• my bf and I had protected sex for 3 days consecutively and our friends said my period might be pushed back because of it
  
• I’ve been kinda stressed lately and I have to admit I don’t eat enough, my sleep schedule have been fucked up too tbh
  

let me know what you guys think, pls, my mind’s been putting me under a lot of stress thinking that i might be pregnant :( pls pray for me

My husband and I moved to our current 2 bed/2 bath apartment a few years ago. The appeal was that it was in a nice neighborhood, the rent was fair, the other tenants were mostly seniors or small families, nice and quiet, friendly maintenance staff, and great amenities.
For the first few years it was wonderful. The sound proofing in the walls is the best I've ever had - I can't hear my neighbors unless I'm right in front of the door. I feel very safe walking around on the trails that run by our building at any time of day/night and the forest next to us usually has some interesting wild life coming out (turkeys, deer, rabbits). Best of all was the camaraderie we built with our neighbors.
People look out for each other, come and knock on your door if your car light was left on, share spices, and one lady below us who has become my adopted grandmother organizes potlucks for people who want to hang out and get to know each other. Each of these potlucks ends in an exchange of recipes because the food brought is GOOD. I proudly bring the meat course at these :-)
And then the neighbor in 334 moved in. 334 had one woman with 3 small kids under 10 and a guy that's sometimes there although I'm not sure if it's always the same guy. At different times of the day or night, you can hear yelling, screaming, and things breaking. The first time surprised me because I usually don't hear my neighbors unless it's small kids giggling/laughing when they walk through the hallway past my door which is normally brief.
This was LOUD. She'd yell the most vulgar things and they would start hitting each other and throwing things at each other which always spills into the hallway. One of them would bang on our doors to get let in and escape the other (no one opened their door). It would last for at least 30 minutes and when things quieted down we'd peek outside and see a mess of all the broken things they threw at each other in the hall - articles of clothing, electronics, and food.
I spoke to the apartment manager and she knew about the situation but due to tenants rights in our state, they can't just immediately evict them. They had to follow certain procedures and asked us to call the police and also them so that they can document enough incidences to formally file the paperwork to evict.
I'm someone who prefers not to call the police on neighbors unless it's really necessary. I wound up calling the cops 5 times on them. One time resulted in the woman's arrest because she got aggressive with the cop that showed up (I called because the kids were screaming and crying while it sounded like violence was happening). Another time I was on my way back to my apartment from taking my pup on a potty break and I ran into them in the hallway as she was threatening the guy with a big kitchen knife. I felt scared in that moment. The guy tried to involve me by pointing out that I was there and she was waving that thing around so aggressively that I was relieved to slowly inch towards my door and make it back home. I can understand how people get killed by simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The mood completely changed at our apartment. I'd peek out in the hallway to see if 334 were there before making my way out. People stopped hosting the potlucks at the clubhouse because we weren't sure when one of their epic public fights would erupt and we felt safer in our homes. After many calls to the cops and leasing office they finally got evicted but it looks like they're gonna squat in the place until forcibly removed.

My father still lives in the modest home I grew up in in the suburb of a major city, and I (32F) now live in a city about a three-hours drive away. I WFH and find myself visiting once a month for family or in-person work obligations.
Typically when I spend more than a day or two here, it's because I'm about to leave for a trip (he also lives by a major airport), or will be attending an event or visiting a friend in the city nearby. But I visited for Mother's Day to see my grandmother this Sunday and ... have just been staying the week for no real reason other than I'm comfortable here, grateful to be able to be here, and enjoy spending time with my father (and his adorable dog who I'm obsessed with). I was supposed to leave for home finally earlier this morning, but here I am still with none of my things packed.
I'm single and live with roommates in my current city, and although I'm fine with that and my life there, it's not exactly as though I'm rushing to get home to anything/one. My siblings, on the other hand, are all coupled and also live only about an hour away, so whenever they do come visit they just go home that same evening. There is this part of me that really wants to enjoy the ability to be here while I still can, even though I know I'm a full-on adult now and should probably be over the whole staying-with-parents thing. It doesn't help that my roommates almost never visit their family and (probably) think it's strange that I'm gone days at a time.
Anyone else like this, or is this as uncommon as I'm suspecting?

The jealousy is never ending for me (32/F) and my husband (34/M).
It all started after college, we were going out, calling,texting and we have met each other's family. But there was no label and no sex. Until he got a new workmate and left me with no explanation or anything. Blocked my number and unfriended me on social media. That was 2012. I was on my best self before,the most patient and nicest woman you will ever meet.
2014, he came back. He pursued me again. Apologised for what he did. I accepted his apology but I knew a part of me changed. We got married after two years and together up until now but I cant trust him. Everytime I am opening topics regarding his exes and other women,he is non-commiting or really annoyed. He said it will just end up with a fight thats why he is not communicating properly.
He was keeping secrets that he gave few colleagues a lift home. Is it too hard to message your wife about it? Considering we have trust issue?
I have few girlfriends who's into a game. They encouraged us and said they will add us to their group.The moment he knew that and my friends will be coming into our house over the weekend,he kept logging in every 15-30 minutes to upgrade stuff and when I asked him why he is always on his phone - he said that he wants to have higher level than me. At the back of my mind, he is doing that to prove himself to my girlfriends.
I told him before that I dont trust him fully so I think it would be better to keep his distance with them. But I cannot see him doing that. I am trying to help him out but giving signal like going somewhere to pick up stuff but he is just staying there chatting endlessly with them. You got the time to chat with other woman but too tired to talk about our issues?
Lastly, I always have his back in front of our friends and at work. Whenever he is in trouble, I will do all the documentation and all. Whenever someone will comment something bad about him, I will defend him. But if it's me, I feel like I am carrying it all alone.
These are just recent issues but can you please advise me what to do. Im tired and it hurts. I feel like it is too easy for him to choose/please other people eventhough I will be the collatetal damage. Is it too hard to choose your wife? Please advise what to do and how to tackle things from here.

That's how my texts feel 😊 Hahaha maybe not right away, but I'd love to be that for you!! I'm 25 years old and from California! I'm looking for friends as I work from home so I've got way too much time to myself! Why not stop by and get a new pocket bestie? I'm the ultimate hype man who can banter like no others :p A little about me!
• I like music - Doesn't everyone? A couple of my favorites are Frank Ocean, Joji, Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller, Queen, Bruno Mars, and MCR!
• I reeeaally like music. I sing decently enough. I mean the neighbors haven't asked if anything is dying and my shampoo bottles in the shower haven't complained either. I also play guitar, piano, bass, ukulele, clarinet, and am learning accordion! Kinda random assortment but I love trying new things! Wanna hear a cover of your favorite song??
• I game. On PS5 and Switch! I like the Sims 4, Fortnite, Persona, Pokemon, and want to try out Stardew finally!
• I work from home. I love my career. I worked really hard to get here and it gives me a lot more free time at home! That means more attention for you!!
• I'm patient! We all have lives. It won't hurt my feelings if you disappear for a bit.
• I'm supportive! Usually considered the parent of a friend group just because I'm the one people go to either to vent or for advice! If you need a shoulder to lean on, I've got two!
That's about it really. This post is already super long. I've got a few other interests like baseball, crafting, geocaching, cooking, and wasting too much time on YouTube or TikTok! If you just need good company, send me a message 😊

Listen I know I need to forget this man and move on forever, if he came back today I’d punch him in the face. But as a part of my processing… I’m an analytical person and I’m trying to understand wtf happened.
Ex is divorced with 4 children. I am never married. I welcomed him and his kids into my life, and into my families. Had them over to my childhood home for holidays, rented out condos as a big group for vacations, etc….anyway…
My ex and I were together for 4 years, knew each other as friends for 8 before that. We broke up (I initiated), continued seeing each other for 3-4 months. I thought we were working on things but he started pushing me away the minute he found someone new (took him about 3 weeks on a dating app). They’ve been together almost a year now.
After he found her last may/jube. I went no contact for three months. I reached out and he responded positively. I asked him if he loved this girl and he said “I think so but it’s nothing like you.” Repeatedly he told me she wasn’t a long term thing, and I know she’s never met his kids. My ex and I started seeing each other and sleeping together every 2-3 weeks from October up until 2 weeks ago when I ran into him and the gf at a concert. She ran away when she saw me, and left him to watch the concert alone. I barely spoke to him and didn’t speak to her at all.
I will say her and I are very different physically. I’m a tall athletic blonde, and she’s a short much more in, curvy ? (Trying to be nice here) brunette.
I sent him a text the next day saying sorry for her leaving I didn’t mean for my presence to make anyone uncomfortable and that there is enough room in this city for all of us, and told him I wish he had a better day today. And that evening (when I presume he was with her) I was blocked. Up until that day everything was normal. Why the ultra sudden change? Does he hate me? I’m moving in forever but trying to find minimal answers to help me move towards a place of peace

I've been a Whitetail Deer hunter in the Northeast for 40 years starting when I was a little kid. I've never missed a season in those 40 years. I hunt with a bow, shotgun, muzzleloader and rifle. My Dad taught me how to hunt and was my main hunting partner, but for the past 10 years he can't physically get into the woods anymore. My 14 year old son will go with me but he's not "into it" like I was as a kid, so I basically hunt alone. I really miss the days of Deer Camp and the nightly stories and hanging out with family and friends. Those days are long gone but not forgotten. I haven't travelled to hunt out of state since 2008, so I've been hunting close to home ever since. Getting out to my stand has become more of an obligation. I feel like I have to force myself to hunt. For the past 10 years or so I'll only shoot a mature buck or a specific target buck that I have trail cam pics of. I pass up alot of deer but I still like watching them go about their day. I'll go for rides in the evening looking and glassing fields BUT, I have no desire to shoot another deer. I didn't go out shed hunting this year either. Maybe as fall approaches I'll feel differently, but I don't think so. I don't know if this is normal or others have had this happen to them. I've been considering getting a camera and starting to take wildlife photos. It's a really strange feeling. Has anyone been in this position? What did you do to get the spark back?

My boyfriend’s best friend.
Am i being crazy or something that I should worry about ?
I am recent moved to Sydney for work. I met a guy one year ago, and he has one best friend that stick with him all the time. A couple months ago, I just found out that they knew each other via Grindr app and they had sex before.
My boyfriend tends to be tricky every time that 3 of us together, he somehow demands kiss, need my attentions in front of his friend ( it’s giving the feeling of making his best friend to jealous of me).
They always spend time together every time I’m busy at work. And my boyfriend always wants 3 of us hangout on the weekends. I feel some weird of this, it makes me feel like we are trouple. I told him that I find it weirder and weirder the more time that we spend together. We have never had 3some ever. And his best friend has a lot of friends around the city but weirdly love to come with us too.
Recently, he has a habit of watching movie at his friend (on Thursday night). I don’t even know if watching movies is really watching movies?
Give me some comments and suggestions if you been in the same situation like me ? Or am I thinking too much ?

It’s gonna be more like ‘are ‘we’ the a-hoe’ (AWTA) because it includes whole my family I (15) female, are the older sibling of one male (12) and one female (9). My sister, who I will call lili, is going to the 4. Grade. Lili has always been a defensive child, she defends herself very well and doesn’t know when to stop or think logically “oh they would beat me up I should shut up. “. Since we moved to Germany she couldn’t do it to well bcc of the lack of language she knows, it’s been 2 years since she’s being going to school here and everyday is a drama. She gets beaten up a lot and gets home with a lot of bruises, there’s this one girl called nisa, she’s the main bully of my sister , she always causes drama and takes the class onto her side to leave my sister lili alone. She’s used to it, so she didn’t really do anything about it anymore(ofc as her family we tried to change her school but they didn’t take her anywhere due the lack of language she had) , but today, she and our family had enough. Today in PE two boys in her class room her line and my sister tried to defend that it was her turn, but due the lack of German she should really do much, the two boys accused her of lying and started to argue with her. In the end my sister gave a push to one of the boys and the two boys got angry and pushed her down and started kicking her while doing fake cries so the teacher comes (the teacher wasn’t there) they were literally beating her up while doing fake cries. After the teacher came the kids accused my sister of trying to choke them both wich is worse than beating someone up in Germany since they see it as an attempt to murder. No one ‘saw’ it is what my sister said so they didn’t have any witnesses to defend my sister. But suddenly two ppl from their class said that they witnessed how lili started it all and how she pushed them ECT ECT. But if they saw then the rest of the class would’ve seen it too since the boys were crying loudly. Anyways one of the boys mom texted my mom, calling slurs and tell how bad my sister is and how she’s always the victim and why nobody likes her and said that she was exp crying an apology for her poor son for being cocked or some shit. But we refuse to apologize because his mom are friends with my sisters main bully’s mom and know they both probably boost their engine just to get my sister kicked out of school for some reason Now, we can never be sure who is right or who is not, they’re kids, any of them could lie, but in this case it’s my sister and as her family I believe her, because she’s been bullied for so long, the evident is there, her body has so many scars already. We can’t be sure if that PE thing was real or not, but watching my sisters tears stream down her face hurts me so much, I don’t want her tears to cloud my judgment now but my heart aches watching her roll tears down her cheeks.. Idk what to do as her big sister I’m so lost and idk how to help she’s been crying for so long and it hurts me to watch her be like this, I try to calm her down but it doesn’t work..
So, AWTA?

Y’all, I’m really not sure what’s still around. This list is somewhat edited, but please still make sure to check on all the regular events before you make big plans – I may have missed something.

If you have anything you’d like people to know about, comment here or message me and I’ll add it in. If you’d like further info about any of the events, look it up!

• Common Ground Books: Contemporary Queer Poetry Book Club: Time is a Mother. This month, we’ll be reading “Time is a Mother” by Ocean Vuong. “In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother's death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. Vivid, brave and propulsive, Vuong's poems contend with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the value of joy in a perennially fractured American spirit. The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky with Exit Wounds, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize and a 2019 MacArthur fellow, Vuong writes directly to our humanity without losing sight of the current moment. Bold and prescient, and a testament to tenderness in the face of violence, Time is a Mother is a return and a forging-forth all at once.” 6pm

Hello friends,
Can anyone please help me figure out why I always go left on elevated par 3's? It's just the elevated ones for some reason. I have 2 at my home course and I can't figure it out. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I want to begin by saying that this will be a long text in which I will detail how a relatively mundane event left its mark on me.
23M here.
I want to start by saying that I have always been a solitary person. As a child, I was fascinated by activities such as reading, studying, analyzing, introspection. I never had many friends, I never spent much time outdoors with friends. Furthermore, I was never particularly drawn to physical activities and competition in general; I always minded my own business and tried to be as transparent and impersonal as possible in my relationships with others. I always tried not to offend anyone, to get along with everyone, but I always struggled with the impact of my behavior on others.
Anyway, to the point. The idea is that I have never suffered from loneliness. I have always been content with my drama-free life. That was until a certain day.
This summer will mark three years since I started working at this job after finishing college. I got along well for the most part with my coworkers; I have about two closer friends among them whom I talk to more often. I encountered some job-related difficulties that saddened me for a while, but being a disciplined person, I successfully overcame them.
One day last December, I was waiting for the bus to go home after a day of work. At that moment, a coworker greeted me and asked me how I was. I must mention that I had known this coworker for a year and a half, and the only interaction with her during all this time was to greet each other when we met at work.
It seemed strange and somewhat unreal to me that she approached me while we were waiting at the bus stop... Over time, we happened to wait together at the bus stop, but we never talked to each other. After the greeting and conversation on the bus that day, the state I'm in started and continues to this day. We only talked about trivial work-related matters, but that conversation followed by that greeting made me feel a kind of pain I had never felt before. When I got off the bus that day, my heart was heavy. I spent the following days in pain and frustration... it's as if all my years of solitude turned against me. It was the first time I was afraid of loneliness, and I started to wonder if I would die alone. I mean, until that moment, throughout my life, I wasn't interested in dating and relationships, but in recent months, these two things have started to concern me quite a bit. Meanwhile, every time we crossed paths at the bus stop, we would talk about all sorts of work-related trivialities... insignificant things but which had a fundamental impact on me. Every time I felt uneasy in her presence... Our encounters had a collegial and friendly atmosphere, but I didn't feel comfortable. I always had a lump in my throat. Also, after each conversation on the bus, I felt a strong sense of melancholy for the rest of the day.
I learned that she is a warm, dedicated, perseverant, and ambitious person. She is in a relationship. And I'm really happy for her. She's a wonderful person in every way. I can't say that I'm in love, but rather just frustrated and confused.
That first approach followed by those conversations with her opened the doors to a new and completely unfamiliar world to me. This world holds a peculiar fascination, but exploring it seems to open wounds I didn't know I had...
Currently, I am in balance, but I don't think I'll be able to return to the mindset I had before. I'm somewhat happy that I had the opportunity to see my situation through different eyes and to broaden my horizons, but looking back, I can't find a rationale for what happened to me in the last few months.
Has anyone else been through a similar situation?
