So a little context, I work at a cell phone carrier and have many friends and family on my account. Because I work there, I get a discount, and my friends and family all pay me a slightly higher amount than I pay for their phones each month. I do this so that I can give them a great deal (each person pays about half the rate of a normal plan), and I can also have a reduced cell phone bill for my own lines. It's a win-win for both parties, they save about $45 per month each and I make about $15 per month each line. I do this for both friends and family.
About 4 years ago I had an acquaintance reach out to me and ask for help switching to my company. I asked her if she wanted to join my plan instead of being on her own so that she could save way more money and she agreed. I told her the price and she was ecstatic, because she would be saving roughly $45 on her bill each month. I did not tell her at this time that I was going to be profiting about $15 per month off her line. This wasn't intentional, I honestly think it just slipped my mind telling her at the time. I did not see it as a big deal that I forgot to tell her because of the amazing deal that I was giving her. After about 2 years of always paying on time, she broke her phone and called me because she couldn't afford a new phone in cash, so I let her finance one on my plan. I told her the only stipulation is that if she wants to leave my plan before she finishes paying off the phone, she needs to pay off the remaining balance. She agrees and tells me that she would never screw me over.
I then tell her on the same phone call "Hey just so you know, I charge you and everyone else on my plan more than what the line costs me so that my personal phone bill is cheaper, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you when you signed up in the first place." She tells me that she has absolutely zero problem with that because she was getting such a good deal and that she figured I was anyway.
Fast forward to today, she calls me out of the blue and tells me she's switching to her boyfriend's plan and asks for the transfer pin so that she can keep her number. She's super friendly on the phone. I tell her that it's no problem, she just needs to pay off the remaining balance of her phone (about $300). She says okay no problem I'll venmo you. I generate her transfer pin but right as I'm about to send it to her, I have this feeling that I should make sure she sends me the money first. I text her and say "Hey I just generated the transfer pin, I'll send it to you once I receive your phone payoff."
Instead of sending me the money, she texts me back and asks me how much I was making off her phone line. I text her back and say $15. This chick then proceeds to tell me that "You have made $1000 off me over the past four years, you can pay for it." I'm honestly shocked at this point because she was completely reasonable on the phone and now she's trying to get me to pay off HER phone balance. I tell her that sorry, I'm not going to do that, we made an agreement and she is responsible for her phone. She then starts calling me a nasty person saying that I was screwing her over and that I'm an awful person for profiting off a vulnerable person, you get the picture.
She then blocks my phone number and all socials. I call my dad and ask him what to do, and he tells me to send her a venmo request saying that I will be going down to the sheriff's office to file a police report for the device that she stole from me since technically it is my property until it's paid off, and that if she does not pay me back I will be taking her to small claims court. She immediately completes the venmo request and then texts me from her new number saying the same stuff she was saying before. I tell her I'm going to send her the transfer pin now and she just responds with "don't bother."
Now she's threatening to take ME to small claims court to recoup the money that I made from her because she didn't know the amount that I was profiting. I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a case but let me know, AITAH?

putting a tw for: body shaming at a young age, negative food talk, emotional neglect/abuse possibly, bad negative self talk, derealisation, body dysphoria issues, suicidal talk/depression, weight loss talk. plz be advised when reading or don’t if its too heavy.
also this is long, im just hoping someone would take the time to read and provide what they can. no one is obligated to read, thanks.
im genuinely starting to get upset and its killing me inside, when i look for support or any help anywhere there is none. all the content on instagram is targeted towards those who’ve made it past that age and survived having to cover up or not dress how they want. no one ever seems to care about the teen and tween girls who currently deal with this kind of stuff cause it seems to them it doesn’t exist anymore. its disappointing to see and shows i dont belong in any community so i’ve come here
im currently 17 and for the past multiple years ever since i started being heavier around the end of 5th grade it feels like my father has been more ashamed of his daughters body and has tried to cover me up and tell me what i should wear. im also dealing with covering up my severe depression and trauma so theres more thats kinda related to this but i dont want to stray off topic
when i was four my dad put me in the child acting industry based in la/weho. that wasn’t that traumatic for me honestly and didn’t take away from being a child but during that time my dad would sometimes get angry when i wanted a snack such as chips or a cookie, he would threaten me and be like “youre gonna grow as big as a house” or “of course you want the cookies”. keep in mind i was only in early elementary school around this time. and in fifth grade he signed me up for this shoot where it was some sort of tv pilot pitch where it was described as the biggest loser for kids and they had other slimmer kids on set that wore fat suits basically and i was the biggest one there. i belived i had to have a fitness routine at 11 in the fifth grade and started working out for two days
into middle school i started getting known for being a bigger girl but i remember around 7th-8th grade my dad kept saying how the clothes i had were too small when i was just trying to dress trendy or like similar styles like any middle school girl. if not that then it was stuff that was too “childish” or fit snug on me. this is when i started to feel totally repulsed about my body and dreaming about wearing what i wanted. and even to this day he periodically will get upset and disappointed in me being dressed down with my hair up just to do something mundane or for my therapy appointment. i was wearing hoodies or shirts with leggings. i remember when we were at six flags for my birthday and i was wearing a cute tank top that slightly showed a bit of tummy and he forcibly pulled the shirt down.
and getting into high school and up into this point he periodically, gets mad and upset when im wearing a certain outfit to go somewhere simple or drags me into the plus sized women’s section of kohls to look for clothes i don’t need and want. i remember when he took me to get my blood drawn i was on my period and wore pants that i typically do cause im uncomfy naturally on it and he got mad and i went into my room trying to calm down and not argue because its pointless with him, and i already knew he was gonna come in and go in my closet and tell me to change into a different pair of pants i don’t wear or what he liked. i always have to please what he likes or i should be wearing in my size.
up until recently he’s telling me i need to get a new wardrobe, that all my clothes are small when they just fit snug or my tummy shows through, (i go thrifting with my mom alot), and convincing me to shop in the plus sized women’s section of jcpenny and kohls. mind you he’s in his early 60s so i dont wanna hear “who still shops there” cause thats not making me feel better about myself at all. i remember he took me to see the women’s shorts and pants, all straight fitting long shorts that were two sizes too big on me. him sending me pictures of mens shirts that are oversized on me because i have some mens pants that i wear as jeans. when he took me shopping recently for athletic wear and told me i NEEDED new shorts and pants because the ones my mom gets are “too tight” when they fit me comfortably and the shorts i have to try on are long and big on me, i literally put them on and feel disgusting like im dressing for pe class, i dont say anything other than they just look plain in which he tells me im not supposed to look stylish at the gym and be comfortable. but when i wear them to the gym they keep falling down on me past half my ass no matter how much i have the draw string tied and im constantly pulling them up. when i have to struggle to not tell him i dont like any of the stuff he chooses for me or think fits since he gets mad and angry about it but also gets upset when i dont wear any of the things he gets me. and for the past two years i start to realize why he’s getting me to wear oversized or bigger clothes for me, because anything my size is too tight basically.
he’s told me my first cosplay i put together myself at fifteen looks raggedy and made me look like a street urchin, he didn’t let me get thin framed glasses i liked that were in our budget because my head was too wide for them and they just looked ugly to him, when he got a dress i needed for a cosplay in my size he made my mom try it on before i did and told me it was tight on her, said that the brand name suggested it was too small, kept telling i needed a bigger size, then when i tried it on and it fit perfectly he kept wondering if it was too tight. i dont even want to do any cosplay or get better cause of him and i cant even dress or put effort in outfits like i did in middle school. now i just feel like a burden cause of my body, something that needs to be hidden away, like everything is my fault because im bigger.
i feel repulsed and never take pictures, only when i feel like i should. my dad doesn’t take pictures of me anymore or puts up any photos of me in middle school or high school like he did my brother, only those photos of me as a young child. now im dealing with binge eating habits that affect me, weighing more than my parents, having shame about eating in public, feeling guilt when i eat, and not feeling like a person. even if friends take fun pictures of me i feel freaked out. im not living, and i dont know how im supposed to be accepted by this community when im forced to hate myself in real life and get jealous over those who’ve already made it past the shame in hiding themselves or appealing to society’s standards. and this is on top of processing me hiding my autism and severe depression and trauma. i dont want to keep dealing with thinner people who dont understand. and dont even ask if my mother is better, she just tells me that my dad would hate certain clothes and constantly nags me about having to shop at torrid. and im hoping to move out into a dorm around next year but this is something that’s killing me besides other things and i dont have any support because im the biggest person i know personally.

It would’ve been a leap of faith. I had none. How could I trust myself, let alone another person? People seem to trust me, though.
Why couldn’t I trust you? You trusted me.
You were everything that she wasn’t. She’s part of the reason I’ve felt like this. You were completely different. Is that why you caught my attention?
You felt real
All of your perfections and imperfections
When you looked at me, everything else would fade into the background.
I think you noticed, after the first few times.
You’d always give me a little smile, you were always picturesque. It pains me that I’ll only ever see it in memory. No picture could do you justice
I’ve met someone whom resembles you, or rather, that’s what I’ve told myself. Side by side, you’d look completely different. I think you’d be good friends, though.
I’ve always kept her at arms length, and not always consciously. I’d never initiate conversations unless they were work related, like part of me knew not to get involved.
She’d make the attempt sometimes, but I never gave any ground. One or two word answers at best.
As time passed, I learned she had someone. I backed off even more. Started to actively avoid her. I think she wanted to be friends, but I’m not a good friend. I showed you I’m not a good partner, either.
Being avoidant helps suppress the fantasies, but helps no one. I don’t believe I would benefit her life, and the reverse is true, too.
I never felt these things when I was around you, so it must be a sign. I’ll read it as “stay away”
I regret my decisions more and more, with each new day.

Im 28 M and she is 27F. We started dating in early 2017. I was a single dad when she met me and we clicked right away. Unfortunately I didn’t have proper boundaries set with my babymomma which caused my relationship with my new gf to become difficult and stressful. I did set boundaries and I was showing her that I was focused on her and my kid and no one else. We were good for a while. About two years went by and at this point we are together like she is my girl my rock my partner. Unfortunately her and I did have problems. We would argue over simple stuff and we both had some anger issues we were working on. At the end of 2019 she chose to take a break and left me but not really left me. Her and I would still go and spend everyday together after she made her choice to take a break. So that kinda messed with my head and in my heart I knew I wanted to be with her so I did whatever I could to be with her. She felt the same way but she put restrictions on me. I wouldn’t be able to hug her or hold her hand. She would tell me we aren’t together remember that. Even on new years we spent it together I went for a new years kiss like how we did the year before but she refused. It was my first time dealing with something like this. So I chose to just keep it going hopefully one day her and I get back together. She’ll see that I’m working on myself ti be the very best version of me for her. Fast forward to march of 2020. She is having me drop her off earlier and earlier at her house. Then one day I went on. Her instagram. I trusted her so I wouldn’t check her stuff. But this time I did I checked her tagged photos and right there was a picture of her with some guy hugging and kissing. Caption read” Loml❤️” I lost it. I called her she didn’t answer I told her I knew what was up and that she had a new bf. I told her thanks for lying and making me think I’m the problem. Her response was “I’m not doing this right now. I’m going ti block you”. She called me the next day asking if we could talk. Of course I went and talked to her. Before I knew it. Her and I were hanging out like normal again. Except this time I would drop her off early and we were back to having sex. She would still go and be with the other guy at night but during the day she was with me. That lasted till may when her guy found out that she was still hooking up with me and spending all this time with me. They broke up and her and I got back together. Crazy so far right.? It gets crazier. Fast forward a year later to my 26 birthday , we are still together. We live in our house we have two cats and very stable financially we had just came back from our first vacation. Things were great except for that day we celebrated my birthday and I was working the night shift so I took her to her moms house for her to visit and I would pick her up after. She gets out the car and leaves her phone. I notice right away but she’s already inside. Her phone receives a notification. It’s a Snapchat , I thought it’s her best friend then I look it closely and see it’s just a face emoji. I immediately open it and it was a guy she had been talking ti behind my back. And not only was she talking to him but they were having full on sex talks and nudes where sent and saved. I saw it all. She was calling him names like babe or daddy or papi. I scrolled all the way as much as I could. It stretched all the way back to 2017. Then I realized this kid was the one that she would tell me she was talking to but as friend and nothing more. She told me this 2018. I was naive and trusted her. She came in the car for her phone but instead I showed her what I found out. She said it was all fake and none of that meant anything to her. Clearly at this point I know she’s lying even more but I still chose to work things out. We did work things out and remained together. But now I have trust issues that I’m working past. Fast forward to 2023 October to be exact. We broke up because we were having financial issues and our anger was getting a bit out of hand. But we still saw each other every single day after that. About a month in she began to act differently. She would not let me touch her iPad while to switch to new shows to watch or to scroll on YouTube for us to watch anew video or whatever we wanted to watch. I would call her out on her behavior and tell her she is acting sneaky. She denied and denied said I was tripping. Okay so at this point I know something is up. That’s when she gave me the phone I had bought her back after she got herself her own phone. I get the phone and decided to download Snapchat and instagram. And before I could even blink I see that the phone saved her login info. I had two choices look through her stuff or erase it not invade her privacy. I chose to look through her snap first and right away I see 5 different guys Snapchating with her. At the very top was the guy she had been talking to since 2017 the same guy I caught her up on my birthday. She was planning a vacation to go see him. The guy is stationed in Tokyo he’s a marine. She was telling me she was going to Mexico. But in reality she was leaving to Tokyo and I just had to be ok with it. She gave me a blowjob literally the day I confronted her about it. She was leaving to spend valentines week with him. And she did leave. When she came back she tried to talk to me but I was in shambles. My heart was broken. eventually I gave in and said yeah let’s hangout. Before I knew it we were spending everyday together again and we were behaving like a couple again. But then came reality hitting me hard. I was using her iPad earlier this month and I went on her calendar to figure out a date for us to go on a trip. When I opens the app I saw may 31st listed as Tokyo trip. She was leaving once again at the end of the month and wouldn’t be back till June 7th. My world once again came crashing down. She said sorry but was still going and she tried to say she is doing it because she wanted to travel. It’s all bs on my mind because her and I could’ve traveled anywhere we wanted to. Now it’s the week of her leaving and she tells me that when she comes back we’ll work on being together again. I know it sounds like I’m an idiot and rightfully so. My actions of taking her back over and over have made it be ok for her to do this. I’m confused and pretty messed up in the head that I don’t know what to do or how to handle any of this anymore. Is it better to just leave and work on myself without her anymore or stay and wait for her ?

I don't really want this to go viral or anything but sincerely just want to put all in one place all the things I know about the situation because I don't think it's with people I know irl....
TDLR: true off my chest, my mom is almost certainly emotionally cheating on my dad based on what he's told me and I know way too much about this situation.
My mom was the typical housewife when I was growing up, very young mom to another guy whose out of the picture entirely; I literally can't even remember the dude's face.
My real dad met her when she was still young, single mom and he still fell for her. He loves her so much. His devotion is really boundless for his family; he was a kind of typical dad when I was growing up, working long hours to move up the corporate ladder, make money to get the four of us out of an apartment and into a house. Us older kids, we were his kids, no doubt about it, even when they had two more kids.
He wasn't perfect. He got angry when he dealt with shitty clients all day and came home to a chaotic household. He would get mad/sulky if I didn't great him at the door. He spanked the boys. He broke the glass table once, when he was really angry.
At the time, obviously, my mom was the stay at house mom, cooked and cleaned.... With hindsight, I think her child rearing could've really used some work. We were left alone a lot, her still in the house, but working on finishing school. We were put into after school activities to keep us engaged, but she never really played with us or gave us activities like I feel a stay-at-home mom should. She let me tell her about her day, but she never really engaged with what I said to her, just listened. Maybe she didn't listen.
I remember one time she had a college class and I can't even remember how old I was.... maybe 4? But she left me outside the class as it got dark, because she knew I was a good kid and wouldn't go anywhere.
They were probably too young for this many kids, or maybe even kids at all. Us older kids definitely contributed to raising the other two, we'd babysit on date nights, etc. Not often. But enough.
But my parents eventually made their way to a couples therapist. things got a lot better, for a few years. My dad worked on his anger issues, mellowed out a lot, and they became all about the love languages and how to love each other and us well.
When I moved out for the first time, things seemed good. They seemed stable at least.
But now, 6 years later things have felt.... Weird. What I type below is a mix of things I saw and things my dad told me.
With hindsight, my mom definitely has taken up a lot more space for herself. She works a lot of hours and put the youngest two into a LOT of extracurriculars. The youngest, she said, should be well rounded with their extracurriculars.
Sports. Music. Scouts. She wanted to put him in an art or language class to be "well-rounded". I personally feel like she just doesn't want to raise the kid after school. They're left home alone A LOT. As in, I will call them in the afternoon and they're home alone because everyone else is at work, or the gym or whatever.
I worry for that one.
During last Thanksgiving, my dad said my mom is starting to "blossom". She's always been an introvert, never had many friends, has been a touch judgemental, and stayed off social media. But now she's making work friends, engaging with the community and totally leaving my dad and the kids behind to some degree. She never invites anyone, they have to ask.
But he wants her to grow. He wants her to have friends, so he encourages it.
He starts stepping up around the house; with the pandemic, he became able to work from home half the week, so he does, he drives the younger kids when they need it, manages the house, even learned to cook.
My mom makes a new friend. A guy.
And she's had guy friends before. But my dad says the majority of her texts are with him. She's now on social media.... Posting things for him.
When they go to family events and things, she text him pictures of the events and pictures of herself... Nothing sexy as far as I'm aware, but I can't think of a single guy friend she'd be texting photos of herself unless he's gay and she's looking for fashion advice (he's not gay). And she always seeks him out.
My dad told me this, basically crying. This is the moment I think she may be emotionally cheating.
How can you spend all your time thinking about someone your not with, talking with them almost 24/7 unless you're intensely emotionally invested?
I personally fuck with the LGBTQ+ community, I think my mom is demi and this is so very very close to cheating, as close as you can get without touching.
SHe meets this guy a lot without my dad.
So my dad begs her to go back to couples therapy with him, and she does.
She puts up the boundary that my dad is not allowed to interfere with her friends, that he's just being overly jealous. The therapist poses the thought to my dad "if she decides to cheat on you, there's nothing you can do". The boundary, she told me. The words, my dad told me.
Obviously that hurts.
My dad asks her if she's in love with him (my dad). And she says no.
Obviously my dad is so hurt by this, but their time is up and they have dinner plans with friends.
My dad does not want to go. He begs her not to go.
She makes him go.
She makes him go put on a happy face with their friends when she just probably broke his heart.
I was there that night, for the holidays at that point. I sat with my dad, put a shoulder to his. I didn't know the details of it all, but I saw my dad texting their therapist and saw when he came home and it wasn't good.
When we get home, my mom says "so what do we want to do, family movie? Game night?" I balk. What the fuck is she talking about? Why doesn't she give a shit about my dad, someone she's spent twenty years with who's never shown her anything but devotion?
I say no, and entertain my siblings while my parents go upstairs and talk? for literally 3 hours.
I get called in when I'm getting ready for bed, trying to ignore anything coming from their room.
My mom promises it's nothing crazy, they're not getting divorced.
What?
I just want to go to bed at that point.
The next day, my mom takes me out, explains some of her side of the story but never elaborates on how she hurt my dad so much , just saying he's not allowed to interfere with her friends. I don't ask about that guy.
She says "your dad asked a question that he didn't want the answer to. He got upset when I answered honestly, because you know I'm always honest"
She's a snob and judgemental of emotions so I just stop asking questions.
My dad is trying so hard to keep it together guys.
He has all these tools from dealing with his anger issues, hes's meditating, he's taking complete care of the youngest kids, as best as he can.... He once told me he was scared to lose my mom (like, her dying) because he'd have no idea how to take care of the kids. I kind of think that's what happened.
He's no longer himself. He's quiet. He's very thoughtful. He's so self-controlling.
All this, changing almost everything of himself and she says nothing. He asks her for acknowledgement, a thank you and she says "You should be changing for you, not for me"
I am almost scared for him.
On mother's day, he did everything to make it special for her. He encouraged the younger kids to make her breakfast, take her out for the day, she got to go to the spa with her lady friends.
She never thanked him. She never thanks him for his support.
He finally realized that it's a fight. someone has to give in, either her, just SEE him, or he's going to give up someday.
How do I feel about all this?
I might hate my mom. She's a shitty partner, and not a very good parent right now either. I think regardless of how she views it, she is putting this one guy on a pedestal over everything else in her life. I think she is just waiting for my dad to give up.
Part of me wants to tell him, that she's stubborn as al hell and she's not gonna give up. I think he knows it.
But he loves her so much, and I don't think I should know even half of any of this, but I've seen too much. I know too many things that I'm not allowed to tell anyone.
should I encourage him to tell her that even if she doesn't see this coming to a divorce, that's where it's heading? Should i encourage him to divorce her?
Should I explain to him what emotionally cheating is?
God, the youngest kids. They're the ones suffering the most of this and I don't even know if they know it.
I wish every conversation I had with anyone in that household doesn't have me standing there with the question on the tip of my tongue; "do you know this is going to end and painfully?"
I wish I could see my mom as a good mom again. I wish I could see my dad a whole person again.
Thanks for reading and while this is a true off my chest, god I'd probably take any advice.

I feel like since summer is approaching in the northern tropical hemisphere, that means rebounds and summer flings are going to be on the up and up.
So I’m here to help those who may not be aware of what a rebound actually looks like in paper and maybe have no idea they were in one at some point.
Heck, it can help many keep a grounded view of their ex is currently rebounding. It’ll help you cope a bit easier when you make sense of why they may have just suddenly in 60 days or less randomly jumped into a new relationship far too soon!
Anyway, let’s dive into this topic.
A rebound relationship means starting a new relationship before emotionally healing from a recent breakup.
Some people may use rebounds to suppress their emotions, get revenge on their ex, or avoid feeling alone.
The signs of a rebound relationship may be challenging to recognize, but emotionally unavailable people often focus on their past partners and fear commitment.
A rebound relationship typically develops when one person remains hyperfocused on their previous partner, keeping them from being fully present or invested in their new partnership.
Someone may harbor old feelings for an ex, whether positive or negative. Getting into another relationship before emotionally healing from the last one can leave their new partner feeling alone, invalidated, and underappreciated.
Here are ten signs you’re in a rebound relationship:

1. They Were in a Recent Breakup. The time needed to heal from a breakup depends on many factors, such as emotional investment and connection. People struggling with a recent breakup often seek ways to fill the void of a former partner. Therefore, you may be the rebound if your partner has ended a relationship within the last few months.
   
2. The Relationship Is Moving Very Fast. Your partner may be rebounding if the relationship is progressing faster than typical. People in rebound relationships often want to convince themselves (and others) that the relationship is genuine. They may push you to have sex, define the relationship, or even move in with them sooner than expected.
   
3. They Keep Comparing You to Their Ex. Another warning sign of a rebound relationship is constant comparisons to an ex. A rebounding partner views your actions, looks, and personality through a specific lens, expecting you to behave and appear the same as their ex.
   
4. They Have a Fear of Commitment. While commitment issues do not always hint to a rebound relationship, they can show the person is not ready to move forward with you. You may struggle with this, especially if you are willing to commit to this person.
   
5. The Focus of the Relationship is Sex. You may be in a rebound relationship if your partner is only interested in sex. Pay attention if you only get together for sex or avoid doing activities together outside of the bedroom.
   
6. Their Ex Is Always Around. Your partner may see you as a way to get back at their ex if you “coincidentally” run into them frequently. Your partner could monitor their ex’s social media to keep tabs on their location so they can “accidentally” run into them. In this case, you are the decoy used to create jealousy in the ex.
   
7. They Aren’t Trying to Get to Know You. A major red flag is when your new partner doesn’t care about important information, like your birthday, college major, or dog’s name. They may not be not interested in getting to know the real you, seeing you only as a stand-in for their ex.
   
8. They’re Always Posting on Social Media. Many rebounding people want their exes to see how “happy” they are with their new partners. For example, they may excessively post videos and pictures of their relationship with you. This behavior is out of jealousy and spite, not genuine love for you.
   
9. They Seem Really Bitter or Angry at Their Ex. A big sign someone is not over their past relationship is having unresolved bitterness or anger about an ex. Speaking poorly or bitterly about an ex is often a sign of a rebound relationship. They are not ready–or able–to move forward with you.
   
10. You Have a Bad Feeling Something Is Off. Our gut usually tells us when something isn’t right. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but the relationship just isn’t working. Perhaps you feel they are being dishonest or untruthful about their past relationship. Trust your gut.
    

Being in a rebound relationship can be disheartening, and learning the person you care about is rebounding with you can be devastating.
However, your partner may be unintentionally rebounding, and your relationship is not necessarily doomed. There are many different reasons people look for rebound relationships.
Sometimes they want to improve their self-esteem or get over someone they love.
Common reasons people seek rebound relationships include:
• To get over an ex: Getting into a new relationship can help people find a resolution over an ex-partner.
• To form an emotional connection: Someone may seek out a new relationship for the emotional connection they crave. When done in a forthcoming way, this can actually be healthy and even healing.
• To make their ex jealous: People who start new relationships and parade the new partner around often do so to make their ex jealous.
• To fill a void: Many people with anxious attachment or low self-esteem struggle with being alone. They might immediately find a new partner to avoid this uncomfortable feeling.
• To prove to themselves their recent breakup wasn’t their fault: A person may seek a rebound relationship if they worry about how they look to outsiders. Perhaps they are embarrassed or worried that they look bad to mutual friends and family after a breakup.
What to Do If You Are in a Rebound Relationship?
If you are in a rebound relationship, take a deep breath. You may blame yourself for the situation, but you probably couldn’t have prevented or changed the relationship.
You cannot force someone to be ready for commitment, and you do not deserve a partner who does not love you.
Here are a few tips on how to cope with being in a rebound relationship:
• Trust yourself: You know true love and care when you feel it. Don’t let a rebounding partner convince you otherwise.
• Focus on what you can and cannot change: Remember that being a rebound is not your fault. You cannot change the person, so focus on moving forward and finding a partner who values you (if you are ready).
• Practice self-care: Focus inward on your needs. What will help you recover from this situation? Turn to activities that bring you joy and pleasure.
• Leave the relationship: Consider breaking up with your partner if they are not meeting your needs. A rebound situation can be okay, but only if you are comfortable with the relationship boundaries.
• Lean on your support network: Seek support from friends and loved ones. They can provide much-needed guidance during challenging times.
• Get back out there: Don’t let this bad experience turn you off from dating. Many good people are out there waiting–just watch out for the rebounders!
Hopefully this helps answer a lot of questions, helps many learn the signs of one, and puts to rest any thoughts about ex’s for anyone in the group what a rebound actually looks like thru and thru.

Major waffle warning
I apologise as I admittedly stretched to make this relevant to this sub at all but I was interested to see people’s take on the subject here, given how it does indeed stem from history in which these two figures very heavily influenced at the time
I consider myself a moral (albeit mild) Christian, and I have no issue with the actual concept of immigration, diversity and so forth; it’s simply the very nature of the last century or so especially. Having studied economics at A-level and business at university (before dropping out in the final year for history; oopsies), I learnt all about globalisation and such which of course supports these very concepts and I simply can’t disagree to them
However, I’ll put it simply; illegal immigration, of any race or religion, is indeed illegal, and we should simply send these people on their merry way either back to where they came from or to wherever else they wish to take themselves but here (looking at you Calais)
There’s much social media outbursts (brainrot essentially) of our country’s ratios/percentages of diversity. We are still a country predominantly white Christian/white British; around 75/80% I believe. Our capital, and other cities, are always going to have a higher proportion of diversity, and we shouldn’t have issues with that matter in itself at all; so of course Inner London is only going to be around a third white etc
I live about 5 miles south east of Newcastle in a small village called Rowlands Gill; quite a decent estate that I specifically live in, just a street or two down from where one of the Hairy Bikers Si King used to reside, and asides for my Indian local barber, I genuinely cannot for certain guarantee any non-white person lives here, the entire village I’m talking, no joke. It just goes to show we need to look at our entire national breakdown of diversity to see, quite literally, the bigger picture
If we’re talking about such figures as Lionheart and Saladin, I think they were both rather reasonable (albeit heightened and sensitive at times) figures and examples of their respective religions, and would probably not be surprised at the extent England is in now, nor that of the Middle East (I’ll be quiet about Palestine because my views are inevitably going to contradict those of some others and vice versa)
Have I been called racist before? Absolutely. Have I been called anti-Muslim etc? Absolutely. Have I been told I favour white Christians over any other race or religion? Absolutely. Am I any of those things? No, I simply believe in putting good, reasonable yet still moral policies upon such immigrations; both illegal immigration and, well, immigration
Perhaps I apply to the latter of those three if anything, but I would expect absolutely anyone of any race and religion to be the exact same way regarding their country and their followers in faith; if you value both your God and your country, its history and its patriotism, you are not going to place its priority below others outside of it; that’s simply how it is
I’ll again admit I somewhat (or very rather) stretched the relevancy to the monarchy in order to post this here, but I was curious to see your take on the issues (of course ‘issue’ not always meaning a literal bad thing; there are some positive aspects to this I’m sure)
We are told to “love thy neighbours” (I have not read the entire Bible since I was a child so I’m not going to act like I’m an expert with any unique verses etc; hence my ‘mild’ Christian description) and I’d like to think I am a generally reasonable, soft, caring man on the inside towards anyone of any race, religion, general opinions etc, even if I tend to come off the rather opposite at times externally (I’m sensitive and take everything to heart and will admit to that)
I would always place God and Christians as ‘my people’ first, and no doubt I would expect Muslims, Jews and so on to do the same with their followers, and I don’t think that is wrong at all. However, that does not mean I’ve only ever been close to ‘my people’; at university for business my best friend was called Hussain from Bahrain (lol that rhymes), a very devout Muslim and I miss him dearly; I loved him from the very day we met. I remember one day we were literally discussing the prospects of these very issues arising here (and this was about 4 years ago); I remember he told me something along the lines of “I came here to a country of a different God, and because of this I and my fellow Muslims here must respect this land and its ways” and that is precisely the very logic I am going off; the words of a Muslim friend
I’ll put it like this; I love football; it’s one of the 3 cores of my 23 year life (well since a toddler anyway); football, history, and food (as in actual culinary aspects; I’m not that fat of a pig yet)…I support Liverpool. I’ve never lived there, I’ve only been a few times, and yet I support them; indeed an English team. Does that mean I automatically have no interest nor respect for rivalling clubs (except for cheating Manchester City breaching 115 accounts of finances) or even ‘hate’ these clubs in or out of England? No, absolutely not. I feel this same logic applies to the real world; real people and real religions.
Yes I’m patriotic and I don’t half waffle on about things, but we may as well say our thoughts rather than hiding them away within ourselves to no avail

“They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly. I choose you and me religiously.” - Guilty as sin, T.S
I’m just a lurker here in reddit every now and then. Last year, I met this fellow redditor, we have a lot of interests - same taste in music, food, movies, career path and etc. We almost talk everyday, we exchanged some pictures, pero we never met in person just to be cautious lang. I enjoyed talking to him everyday since he is super genius and madaldal rin. Until I got curious and I found his real fb and we have a lot of mutual friends pala. Sabi nya I can add him sa FB or IG pero I got too shy. I noticed kasi na sister niya pala yung famous vlogger and they are very rich.
Fast forward, I confessed to him na I started liking him but he couldn’t believe it and his heart is not yet ready for any serious relationship. We are still talking by then, however, I suggested na we should stop talking to each other as this may cause to stir up my emotions.
After not talking for weeks, he messaged me saying na he tried to talked with other girls but no one compares to me raw. :’) hahaha we talked again for another month pero paasa si kuya talaga.
But then again, our convo started to fade away around May last year and I deleted all of our convo na lang para mabilis maka-move on.
It’s been a year but your existence still haunts me. It’s been a year but you still have the biggest influence in my life. I’m sorry na I stalked you too much on your social media for the past year. HAHAHAH
To D, I missed you but I am finally letting go the idea of us. :> delulu lang. I really hope you’re doing well!

Took a day trip and wrote this around 9:30PM. Enjoy.
Everyone has those dreams they want to accomplish in a lifetime. The ones that seem so far fetched but still obtainable. In my case it has always been on my bucket list to travel every corner of Texas. I have been blessed in my 27 years of life to have gone as far north to see the Panhandle plains near Amarillo and as far east to see Huntsville surrounded by the piney woods. I’ve been able to see the Third Coast from H-Town through Corpitos, down to McAllen and Harlingen. I’ve drank on 6th Street in ATX, and have had countless nights I couldn’t remember in San Anto. I’ve seen a Cowboys game in Arlington while staying in Dallas with family, and I’ve floated down the rivers in San Marcos with friends. I know the backroads of South Texas between Uvalde and Laredo, like the back of my hand, and if I needed too, I could probably drive between El Paso and Fort Stockton blindfolded. In the past 4 years, I’ve spent the majority of the 100,000 miles I’ve driven, on Texas highways and county roads. Passing through small towns that people would never know existed, such as Dryden, Camp Wood, Orla, Goliad, and Dilley, where my son lives. There’s so many other cities and towns I could name which would take up the majority of this story and bore you but there is one area of Texas that I’ve always wanted to see with my own eyes and be able to experience it all. This place is actually a lot closer than many of the places I mentioned. It’s pretty much the next door neighbor to my hometown of El Paso.
On December 28, 2023, I was finally able to see it. Big Bend and Terlingua. As I was driving into the national park I stopped at the park’s entrance sign and took a typical picture in front of it like everyone does, but after, I turned back down the road, made a right and drove 28 miles to La Linda. I did this all without having a GPS or signal on my phone after I lost it passing Marathon which about an hour or so from the park entrance. I followed the old green highway signs down a road that you could tell was hardly used because of all the weeds and brush growing in the middle and side of the road. I was probably the only truck on the road with the expection of two trucks going the opposite direction that had passed me. I kept going until the road ended at a blocked off bridge that only a small car could drive over. The only time I had ever seen this place was through Google Maps when I’d sit there looking at random places that you’d think no one would ever go. I got off my truck and look around, it was quiet but the sound of the river is what got me. It was surreal to say that across that bridge was Mexico and the river I heard was the Rio Grande, which surprisingly had water in it and wasn’t dry like the way it is in El Paso. As I was looking at the graffiti on the bridge I noticed a part of it said “Chuco Town” which I though was weird because why would some slang from El Paso be tagged on some random bridge literally in the middle of nowhere. So I got curious and ended up making my way down underneath the bridge where I found this clear box with a small notebook in it. Several people had written in it with their names and when they had visited the bridge. It was like an Easter egg. I wrote my name in the book, put it back and went to go look for a way to get to the river but I couldn’t because of all the bushes and trees. I spent like a good hour looking around before getting back to my truck. I ended up driving about two hours to the Big Bend National Park Headquarters where I finally got signal on my phone. The drive into the Chisos Basin was beautiful. The color of the rocks and trees made it feel as if it was still the Fall season. The canyons were huge, the road curved through the mountains, the air hitting me through the windows was fresh. Seeing the amount of trees, for the mountain range being in the middle of a desert was crazy. Again, I only spent about an hour or so before driving through the park and into Terilingua. As I drove to Terlingua, the scenery changed drastically. It went from mountains covered in trees to something out of a Mad Max scene. It was nothing but desert with little plant life. I ended up stopping at a gas station where two the highways met. One would take me to Alpine and the other to the Terlingua ghost town. After fueling up, I drove through the ghost town to find a couple of restaurants open. I ended up eating some green enchiladas that were good but nothing compared to the ones found in El Paso. I continued to drive down the highway towards Presidio as the sun started to set. About half way to Presidio, I turned back around to head back. By this time it was 7pm. The sun had almost set completely. I pulled over to the side of the road so I could look at the sky. I had heard so many stories and seen so many pictures of the Terlingua night sky. I wanted to see if it was real. As I stepped out and looked up I saw more stars than I could ever imagine. Everything around me was pitch black, except the sky. There were hundreds of stars, they were brighter than ever. There were no clouds. I stayed looking at them for a good minute, actually I stayed looking up so long I ended up laying in the bed of my truck trying to take it all in. I ended having to go back into my truck because of the cold. Even with a thick hoodie and thermals underneath I couldn’t stay out any longer. I continued my drive back to the gas station where I had first put gas so I could type this out before my plan to head back into Big Bend. I only arrived about 8 hours ago, drove down to the La Linda bridge, drove through the national park, drove through the ghost town and saw a night sky many wont get to see in their lifetime but maybe on this drive back, I’ll be able to find the moon.

I'm just a college student who's done his semester and without being able to go to campus I don't talk to as many people as I used to. So I've been looking for long-term friends but I wouldn't mind a chat or short-term either.
I'm really into skateboarding but I'm pretty new to it, I'm trying to learn quickly tho. I've also been into photography lately, I've been super busy doing photoshoots for people so if i don't respond its likely that. I'm also into basketball, working out, and gaming. A own a lot of games probably over 500+ but I mostly play shooters, I own a ps5 and switch so I can play almost every game. I'm a big basketball guy, and I work out frequently too. I'm also open to a lot of hobbies and fashion is also something I'm passionate about.
I could yap more im sure but if you're interested in talking just pm me or add my tag

My wife allowed me to take sexual photos of her and gave consent to share them online to places like Reddit. To post photos and videos most of the time they have to be uploaded to a hosting site and you are given a link to add to your posts. That link allows the photos to be viewed on these sites.
Basically the link takes you to the hosting site and a type of folder is created that contains all the photos and videos. Sometimes hundreds.
My question. We did all that and there over 50 items in the “folder”. A link was provided so they could be posted and that’s what we did. Anyone who was able to view the photos could also share the link to them. So those pictures were shared a lot and the link was shared a bunch.
What happens if the wife now withdraws her consent. The link and photos have already been shared hundreds of times. I have no way to stop others from coming across these photos and videos and they continue to be posted and shared by anyone who wants to. Now say someone recognizes my wife in these photos and begins to share them all over our town with mutual friends we have. Is breaking the law since he does not require her consent since he came across them posted in the web in multiple places. He isn’t actually sending the photos direct. Just sharing the link

Hi!
First of all, I believe that I might fall into the category of being a green flag and why? I'll explain in this post.
If you like reading well detailed posts in which the person has put some serious effort, this is gonna be one of them.
I'm gonna make this post by putting my heart into this totally and hopefully, it will reach the right person out there :) all of the things I've said in this post is absolutely true about me. If you've seen this post before, just know that I haven't found anyone and I'm still looking ♡
So a little description about me first:
I am a guy who's usually very loving in many matters of life. I'm easy going, respectful and have manners. I'm helpful to people that I love and that are nice to me. I'm patient when it comes to a lot of things because I believe in the saying that "good things come to those who wait"
I also have no friends, I just can't spend my time putting efforts in people that does nothing but create fake friendships and who won't be by your side as a loyal friend, they'll just be there when it's for their own good. So I just wanna invest my time into finding my future partner and building a strong relationship.
I still don't believe I'm perfect and I'm constantly working on myself to improve my overall standing as a person because since I don't have an ego, I'm always keen onto making myself a better person and don't have any problem in listening to my flaws through people that are important to me.
What I'm looking for:
I believe that relationships are not just something that you can make, break and move on to another. I don't understand the people that does that. For me, I'm only interested in something meaningful and long term but I also don't wanna be anyone's rebound or get played with. I don't break hearts and don't want anyone to do that to me either.
A relationship is a very beautiful thing which happens very naturally when two souls meet and get fond of each other. It's truly a magical feeling when you know you finally have someone to by your side, you're not alone in this lonely world anymore. I LIVE for that feeling 🫶🏽
Now you must be wondering if I have any hobbies? I do have some of them.
First of all, I'm a guitarist and do it well (at least I think so) and I love sports (especially basketball which is my favorite) I love watching movies (rom-com and horror is my genre)
Also a quick question. Do you like someone with a soothing, partially whispered, deep and asmr kinda voice that whenever you hear it, you feel like I'm talking straight to your soul? If you do, you'll love calling me or listening to my voice mails for sure.
Plus as a boyfriend, I am extremely caring and someone who'd bring you chocolates and your favorite stuff during your periods or when you're feeling down, I'll find happiness in doing that honestly. That's just me!
I do have a passion for cooking as well. So, I might as well try to cook you some delicious dishes and perhaps, get your feedback on it. I'm sure it'll put a smile on your face, exactly how I'd like it <3
I'm not yet perfect at cooking but we can get better at it together, of course! Having you by my side will increase my motivation and we might as well vibe ✨️
Age also doesn't matter to me, as long as you're looking for the same as me and you know we'll get along well.
By the way, I don't give a crap about sexual stuff and have never sent dick pictures to anyone before, so you can be rest assured I'm not one of those people.
I guess that's it for now, if this interests you even a little bit, you can message me and see where it takes us 😊 I'm literally just a message away!
Don't be hesitant in anything, I don't like being creepy or will force you to do anything you don't wanna do. I'd suggest you give me a try ❤️🤞🏽🧿
See ya!
