Text message pictures using symbolsext message p

I’m not going to screen shot the other much more triggering stuff, but I don’t know how getting nude in the bathtub is the content you’d think up of to advertise for a meal delivery service 🥲 The only proper shot of the salad is right at the end with her skinny elbow 🤣
The fact that Soulara is partnering with her also annoys me. I’ve messaged them (silence), then also commented questioning why they continue to partner with an influencer who promotes such UNHEALTHY behaviours to a vulnerable audience- of course the comment got deleted. Also saw another similar comment get deleted soon after mine too. Like, come on- she’s now posting this crap from a hospital room.
Call me pessimistic, but I don’t think she’s using this admission with any view to getting better- if anything she will double down on her behaviours but relabel it as “getting my light back” …

Don’t you miss these type of texts? , whether it‘s from you texting or from someone else texting you …“ I Miss you?”, “ How was your day or How was Work?”, “ I have a surprise for you”, “ I made plans for us” , “ let’s go out this weekend”, “ I can”t wait to see you”, “ What time will you get home or What time do you get off of work “…. And 100,000 other different types of messages of acknowledgment , affection , affirmation and knowing someone is thinking about you. Maybe not, lol. I am still a hopeless romantic, lol🤣. And Chivalry is not dead! Ok, enough of my sob story.🤣 It been 6 weeks since surgery and I am still in a lot of pain , been struggling lately , been lonely and sad lately. I could use a friend. Someone to talk to , get to know, maybe become best friends with . I am not looking for anything sexual. Keep your negative comments to yourself. I am kind, sweet, considerate, compassionate, passionate, loving, positive , well… I am a good friend. I love to laugh, go to comedy shows, watch movies and sometimes shows… I am into Marvel and DC everything , MMA, old school WWE , travel, road trips, sporting events, dancing, all kinds of Music, sometimes going to concerts. Did I say, I love Movies, lol. I kiss going to Shows with the special someone🥲. Lol. If you are similar and interested, want to vent, talk, text, cry, yell, I am all ears.
I am a good friend. A great listener. Never will pass any judgement . I love to encourage , motivate and inspire. I am a coach in real life🤣. This is what I do daily.
I am not holding my breath.🤣😂 But, it would be nice to hear from you.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy life to read my sob intro, lol.
Take Care

Hii I am 20yrs old and just yesterday finally I bought minecraft. I played mc when I was like 12yrs old so its been a while since I played. I am learning again how to play but I was hoping to make friends. I am sorry if my writting its not good but spanish is my main language, I want to use this as a opportunity to practice my writting and pronunciation in English. Feel free to send me a message on discord: lbananaaa
I dont have a server or realm so I would be good if you have one, sorry. :)

I never done this before but I am totally confused on what to do in this situation and just need to get it off my chest.
A few years ago I started talking/sleeping with this extremely extremely tall influencer who basically makes all of his content on being tall.
He lives across the country from me but has flown out a couple of times to “see” me. We were also friends in a sense. He would call me and talk to me about things and I’d also talk to him. We’d talk about our dating lives to each other and talk in general. I helped him films videos when he was in town visiting and even took his picture for him.
However, recently I am facing a moral dilemma. I have watched this guy portray himself as an innocent, cute funny, man of God. Which he’s all of those things besides being innocent. He’s a pot head (nothing wrong with that I too smoke occasionally), but he’s also into some really dark things sexually. But that’s not the point of this story.
The point is that recently he made a video with a tall girl and everyone “shipped” the relationship. I know for a fact because he’s told me on multiple occasions on text and the phone that he is not at all attracted to tall girls and instead exactly the opposite, he likes short girls with big boobs. Again nothing wrong with that.
However, him and this girl have gone viral because of it and are gaining attention like crazy. They’re now leaning i nto this whole relationship thing and everyone’s calling them the new Taylor and Travis. But within that time he’s called me hot/said he wanted to talk on the phone etc.
My problem is that they’re using this situation that seems genuine to everyone else to make money but I know that it’s entirely fake. I could easily post screenshots and conversations that show that it’s fake and show that he’s not attracted to this girl but really I wouldn’t gain anything from it other then putting myself in the middle of this drama and expose myself to hate.
At this point I wish I could just be oblivious to this situation but knowing what I know it makes me sick to see the exaggerated show they’re putting on.
I don’t want this man for myself he’s almost ten years older than me and has a lot of issues I also don’t like the spotlight hence why I’m doing this anonymously rather then going public with it.

I've never posted on Reddit so apologize if my story has been hard to follow. Anyway thanks again for reading my story. I ask that all responses be respectful, please.
A Significant Event: The most hurtful incident was when my uncle died suddenly. I didn’t respond to anyone for almost a week because his passing was so sudden. When I apologized to my friends and explained about my uncle, everyone except Todd acknowledged my loss. He started talking about himself instead.
Thinking he might not have received my message, I replied, but he didn’t respond. Then I saw a concerning post of his, and it worried me, so I checked in on him. He didn't respond for a few days, so I followed up with a voice note. I told him I just wanted to know if he was okay, and that I’d give him all the space he needed. I just asked if he could let me know he's okay.
When he finally did reply, he said he was busy and promised we would talk, but more days passed without contact.
I changed my number not too long after that since I just moved to a new state. I messaged him, and he seemed happy to hear from me. We flirted and talked a bit, but it quickly returned to the same pattern of brief, unengaging conversations. The last straw was when he sent me a text, I responded, and he said nothing.
A Confrontation: I finally asked him if we could talk. I told him how I felt—that it seemed like he didn’t want to engage in conversation with me anymore and that our connection was fading. I was sad because we hadn’t had real conversations in a while, just the same repetitive questions about our days. I suggested scheduling phone calls once or twice a month, thinking it might help us bond without overwhelming each other. I made it clear I wasn’t upset and didn’t blame him for anything.
Todd’s Response: He responded by saying he felt punished and criticized, and that he couldn’t handle conversations about life’s hardships, even though I never said that’s what I wanted. He felt I was only considering myself and not him, which isn’t true. He also claimed no one inquires about his struggles, which is not true. At least in my case. I've often put aside my feelings to make sure he knows he's loved.
My Dilemma: I see a pattern where whenever I express my feelings, he feels attacked. Despite understanding he’s going through a lot, I feel it’s unfair for him to expect me to navigate his needs without clear communication. Now, he wants to do phone calls, but I can’t stomach talking to him after he downplayed our friendship and ignored my uncle’s passing.
I’m heartbroken and contemplating ending our friendship. I’ve tried to fix things, but it seems like nothing I do makes a difference. Am I wrong for feeling this way? Should I end things with him? I really need advice.

27 [M4F] Germany #Europe looking for a trustful and genuine relationship
Not really sure how to start this, I have been for a while in this Subreddit and decided to try my luck now also.
Hello all, I am a 27 years old male from Germany. I'm looking for a serious relationship. I would like to have someone who I can trust and depend on 100% and of course expect the same from me. A genuine connection where we can be open about everything with no judgement. Communication is in my opinion the most important part of a good connection to each other.
Some Info about me: - I am 27 years old even though I think I actually look younger than that age😅. I also have Russian roots, so I speak English, German and Russian. I'm 177cm tall and have short brown hair and blue eyes. Also, I'm more on the slim side. I'm not the muscular gym guy if that's a dealbreaker for someone.

• I'm not sure what to tell about my hobbies, since I like a lot of things. I enjoy playing video games and watching TV shows. One of my bigger hobbies at the moment is travelling, which I also would like to do more often. I just want to explore the world and learn about different parts of the world. Life is short and there are so many things to see. I love nature and beautiful landscapes the most about traveling, I would say. I also just enjoy spending time together with other people, and I am actually open to do and try different kind of activities.
  
• In general, I would describe myself as a very loyal and honest person.
  

What I am looking for: - I would prefer if you are from Germany or in Europe, maybe close to Germany or in a country with good access to get there. I just want to keep this realistic.

• I don't really have a specific type for a Person. I am really open-minded, so if it clicks, it clicks. I'm not sure how to explain that. There is only one thing which is unattractive to me. This is not meant to be disrespectful at all, I respect everyone who wants to live the way he wants. But plus size is just something I can't do. I'm not expecting a perfect body, please don't get me wrong. I hope you understand what I mean.
  
• I would love to have someone who enjoys traveling also. If you play video games, it could be nice too, since we could share this hobby easily.
  
• I am also into all sort of cute couple things, maybe it's just that I haven't experienced it yet. I would like it also when you are clingy in a positive way if you know what I mean, like not in a possessive way, maybe.
  
• Also, I would prefer it if you are in the age range between 22-28. I also prefer it if you are not taller than me.
  

I have 2 things I want to be open about in addition.

1. I have social anxiety. I worked on it a lot and honestly try my best to not let it influence my life. I just want to be upfront about it in case it is also a dealbreaker for you. I am open to answer any questions regarding this.
   
2. I have very low, almost none dating experience. I figured out, that this seems to be also a dealbreaker for some people, so I just share it also right away.
   

I value honesty a lot, so you just know what you get if you are interested in writing me. It is just that I maybe need to take some more time with certain things because of the anxiety and lack of experience, which makes me feel insecure. If you have some problems yourself or can relate to this, maybe it is even easier as we share the same experience. So no worries if there is anything I will not judge you for that, the only thing I ask you is to be open about it.
We can also exchange pictures right away if you want or if you feel more comfortable, I don't mind if we first write and learn about each other first and exchange it afterward.
If you are interested, please write me a message or send me a chat. Maybe you could give me a short description of yourself and then we will see how things develop 🙃
Thank you for reading this and I wish you all the best.

I have been dating my girlfriend for 8 months and the relationship is perfect though it is complicated because as the relationship has continued it appears there is complications in the relationship. It appears the relationship has continued though there are weeks I am busy with school or work or life or something and am unable to make it to some of our regularly scheduled phone calls. We often talk after I finish working out and showering each day while I prepare dinner and sit down to study for some time. It is a pretty good schedule as it has placed me very far ahead in my courses since I started a couple of weeks ago doing this method to succeed and pass, plus take care of some extra things in my life, all while getting to spend time with my girlfriend every night that we aren't able to just do things together. I really see the relationship progressing faster now that we have a routine so we are able to make time for each other when life picks up, though sometimes my courses get really busy and it just really causes me to have to close out of some of our times talking with each other. I regret this and do feel the sense of us not getting to be together as a sort of emptiness though it is something where I may have to step away to make time for myself and own obligations sometimes, which isn't great for the relationship. At the same time, it is a relationship where as things have continued we have slowly progressed to have a closer connection compared to when initially we were starting to talk with each other.
It is just there is the concern where there have been times where a couple of days have gone by where we haven't spoken with each other mostly completely due to myself, when I return she is ignoring me and giving me almost rude responses at times. It is mainly the ignoring me that is the concern compared to the rude responses though I will dive into both. So this has happened a couple of times, where I have had to take care of some life stuff and when I returned she was completely ghosting me and ignoring me for over a couple of days sometimes, only to turn up either completely oblivious in text or return a phone call, or would return with an attitude and angry I would miss out on certain messages from her. I felt really bad for doing this and like our relationship had been set back and hurt by this behavior from me. I wish it were possible for us to have something where it may be possible for us to be really close though when I acted such as this in ways where I could almost be misconstrued by her as lazy though in fact would be very busy with things, she could save up resentment against me and cause us to have a relationship where she could hold on to any time we may have missed out on together. It hurts me to think about this. It has been some time since the worst few incidents, a couple of months, though she still mentions them to me every now and again because they are times when she felt very alone and hurt that I wouldn't put more work in to see her.
I wish it were possible to roll back the clock on these times and change things to make her not have to go through those things. I wish it were possible to take care of every single one of those times where something may have not gone completely right. I wish it were possible to spend the time and care in each of these times she may have asked for though I know at this time there is nothing to be done. We are still a happy couple. Still, we are doing everything possible to build a closer connection with each other because it is important for us to have a close sense of connection and intimacy if there is to be anything at all of significance between us. Recently she asked if we are together and times like these may occur, why should she be with me? It took me a second to respond because I was instantly worried these would be times that could end our relationship, or cause things to not really take off like they were supposed to and us just end up with something casual. We are close to having a relationship she can say is of value she has said, but every time I have to step away she steps back from the relationship and these behaviors repeat. I just don't know how it is possible for us to eliminate it from the relationship for us. I want for us to move past this, though she seems not quite able to let go of these times. She has made me feel as if we can move past it, and she has a clear idea of my life goals and responsibilities, though I will have to be pretty explicit and organized with things going forward for us to have the relationship we are seeking out without her getting exhausted by any behavior I could display that may be less than perfect for us as a couple (which to be honest it can be said I have done). I just don't know how we can hold each other accountable for the relationship so it is possible something like this doesn't affect us.
Any advice is appreciated, thank you. ❤️⚡️

For a bit of background— my (16M) dad (56M) is on his 3rd wife and cheated on all 3. He cheated on my mom (48F) with my step mom and it led to a divorce. My dad has clearly cheated on my step mom often (she likely has cheated on him as well but I have no proof + she has MS often leaving her bed ridden.) They also split for 1 week when one of them caught the other (I’m assuming my step mom caught my dad.)
We went on a family vacation to visit step-mom’s family last week when me and my older sister (21F) discussed what we’ve seen occurring. We’ve both seen recent texts of two new women that have been very clearly sexually/romantically charged on my father’s phone. Additional info: dad is abusive to entire family, 3 years ago I found group messages on my dad’s phone about an orgy with other coworkers, dad’s first wife also cheated on him and he likely cheated on her. Dad has lots of “late night work dinners” so step mom is likely already suspicious. Dad also only is going to live 5 more years maximum— he has already secretly declared his suicide plans to me + he may not even reach 5 years as he refuses to go to the doctor even with the melanoma found on his back. Further, they don’t love each other anymore. My step mom has become unemployed from her disability essentially indefinitely and my dad can’t stand being alone. They both simply use the marriage as a safety net while pretending to love each other. They won’t even sit on the same couch or usually touch each other.
(Apologies in advance for errors and poor formatting— I’m not in the right mindset to care.)
TLDR: Cheating, dying, abusive father cheated on empty-marriage-based likely cheating wife.
Anyhow, WIBTA for telling my step mom of my cheating dad?
(I’m aware the answer might appear obvious but my doubts are over how it might ruin their relationship further or my relationship with my father as well. Especially when they already seem somewhat aware + will only spend 5 years maximum together before my father’s death.)

Vim has spelling-based completion with , which can be used to fix spelling mistakes after you type the word. However it seems to be disabled if nospell is set, giving the error message "E756: Spell checking is not possible".
I dislike the highlighting of misspelled words in my files (I turn it on manually when I want to), but I think it could be convenient to have this completion available to me. Is it possible to either:

1. Enable without setting spell
2. Disable highlighting of misspelled words but keeping spell set (preferrably temporarily, with the ability to switch on/off when desired)

Thanks!

A few weeks ago I noticed I am now prompted to purchase Meetup+ to be able to message members, see who is attending an event, or join a waitlist. None of several other Meetup users I spoke to had this paywall sprung on them. I don't know what is exactly it was that made them profile me, but it appears they are now using exploitative online dating tactics to fund the app. Shameful. No one cares about male loneliness. They only care how they can profit from it.

This is probably a dumb question.. but I went into AT&T today and got some info about upgrading my iPhone 11 Pro to a new iPhone 15 and am planning to return tomorrow to do so. The sales consultant recommended I go through & delete old/unnecessary things so that the transfer doesn’t take so long as I have about 200GB of my data full.
I don’t want to lose things like my contacts, pictures, notes, calendar, and reminders. However as far apps, the phone layout/homescreen, messages, phone log, etc. I don’t mind starting new (and would actually prefer to do that). I also pay for 2TB of iCloud storage, how do I ensure the correct things are in there?

If you're on Boo and come across this profile, I suggest staying away from it. It all started with me browsing profiles. I came across this one and thought to myself, "oh she's verified so it must be legit right?" Yeah, right. I was already suspicious enough at the early stages of the conversation. All I did was give her profile a heart them moved on. Not even 10 seconds pass by and we instantly match. That's the first red flag.
Fast forward about 24 hours since our first message was exchanged on Boo, the conversation was flowing pretty well. There were a lot of spelling mistakes on her part and grammar wasn't the best so that raised an eyebrow. From my knowledge, AI or scammers from different countries always seem to misspell things. As yall can see, this profile invited me to WhatsApp but I don't have one. (I couldn't get a screenshot of when this profile gave me their IG because the conversation was gone shortly after)
So before you know it, we get unmatched from Boo and the conversation is gone. This was not before me sending a follow request and message on IG. At first the profile on IG seemed legit. You know... pretty girl, more followers than people she follows, so I'm like ok this must be legit I guess and I was skeptical for no reason. Again, I was wrong. From introducing herself as Sophie on Boo, now it turns out her full name is Ava Sophie (Ava was added to go along with her IG profile) This person has told me earlier in the day, they were planning to go back to the UK from HOUSTON. Mind you this was at around 5pm Central time. So they send this generic picture of them supposedly watching Nemo. I instantly recognized the background from different pictures I've seen online with people posting while on an airplane. The biggest giveaway was the window. How is it pitch black outside on a long summer night in Houston at 5pm?? Lol So I knew it was time to just move on and go ahead and block the profile.
What their endgame is? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure if I kept talking to them, they would have eventually asked for some sort of money or personal info from me. You can search up the profile for yourself on Boo, and you will notice this profile is constantly changing their location to different places around the globe as I provided in the screenshots.
In conclusion: always trust your gut and be extra careful online my friends.

I apologize for the long post but I really need advice. I ask that all responses be respectful, please.

Backstory: I (23F) and my friend Todd (35M) have always been very close. We met last year in May, and our long-distance relationship (LDR) has had its ups and downs. Initially, we explored a romantic relationship, but that ended because he didn’t want a relationship and wasn’t sure when he would. He only expressed this months later, after I caught feelings. He told me this after I suggested we have dates via Facetime, which he felt was “too serious.” I contemplated ending things then but didn't, feeling naive and clinging to my feelings. We took dates off the table, and I eventually accepted that he wouldn't be ready to date anytime soon. Even though we were still “seeing where things go” by August/September, he started treating me differently, as if we were just friends. It was clear we weren't platonic, so why was I being treated like a friend? Looking back, it was obvious he did not want me, but at the time, I was confused.
We decided to just be friends, agreeing that we could revisit dating if I were still open when he felt ready. However, things didn’t stay platonic, and we continued to interact as if we were in a relationship. I felt you all deserve some backstory on how things started before diving into my most recent dilemma.
Recent Issues: About three months ago, we both were going through a lot and decided to give each other the space we needed, while still checking up on one another occasionally. Todd needed more space than I did, which I understood, so I would check on him every few days to show I cared. I was also dealing with some of the worst days of my life but chose not to share everything with Todd because I didn’t want to worry him. Even now, he doesn't know everything I struggled with this year.
By mid-April, Todd started messaging me again, and since he never mentioned when he needed space, I interacted with him as usual. My birthday is in April, and I was excited to talk to him on my birthday.
When my birthday came, he forgot it. I was hurt and told him about it, but also made sure he knew I wasn’t upset with him. To my surprise, he got upset with me, feeling like I was saying he doesn’t celebrate me and isn’t a good friend. He also mentioned wanting to withdraw and not talk to anyone. I panicked and reassured him that he was a good friend and how much I cared about him. While it bothered me that he was upset, I thought I pushed my feelings aside thinking that maybe I was only seeing things from my perspective. I even wrote him two poems to show how much he meant to me.
Changes in the Relationship: After that, things felt different. Our conversations had been repetitive and unfulfilling for a while, mostly just asking about each other’s day. Since neither of us could do much or afford to, our days were monotonous, and the conversations ended quickly. Whenever I tried to start a conversation, he seemed uninterested. I gave him space, but when he did text me, he often didn’t respond.

Hello! Like I mentioned in the title I'm moving soon (Oregon to Colorado) and it's gonna be hard being in a new place so would love to make some friends, maybe more? Online is fine, local-ish is better, and would prefer someone in the US. Anyway I did this when I first moved to Oregon about a decade ago and met some really cool people through r4r (some in person!) and would love to do it again. Preferably you are within my age range (late 20s/early to mid 30s) and single, but if you're taken or you're looking for something entirely platonic that's totally cool!
A little about me:

• Software engineer working from home
• 5'10, 180 lb and workin' on it, blonde hair, glasses, and a couple tattoos
• Cat dad (love dogs too though)
• Hobbies: reading, music, video and board games, guitar (I suck but I'm trying), hiking, TV, movies. Once I move I'm looking to get into a couple sports like tennis, golf and snowboarding!
• My primary music genre is metal but a lot of people tell me they're surprised to find that out by how I look/dress? I also love EDM and hip hop.
• My taste in movies/TV is all over the place. Love a gripping drama just as much as trashy reality TV.
• I drink a few times a month but no 4/20 (anymore)
• I'd consider myself an ambivert but working on being more extroverted. Working with code remotely makes me isolated enough as it is, haha

Shoot me a message ideally with a picture (I'll return the favor) and a little about yourself! Cheers :)

I have a DIY bass shaker and amp that I have used with simhub for racing. I understand the diy shaker setup will work with DCS provided the appropriate software is utilized. I downloaded the simshaker for aviators software as well as the sim shaker sound module. Is the sound module required to work with DCS? I understand the sound module is a paid license, I tried buying it but was met with a message indicating that since I am in the US and there are sanctions, that I'd need to email Andre directly to find "another solution." That seemed kind of sketch IMO. Big asks here are, do I need both? Is having both the best solution for my diy bass shakers? Has anyone paid Andre via email? Are there any solid guides on proper setup for the DIY bass shaker people out there? Any advice and pointers is much appreciate. Like i said, i've used the shakers with race sims and enjoyed it, now wanting to delve into more immersion with my flight sim setup. TIA!

  Divination tools are objects or systems that people use to seek guidance, insights, or answers to questions about the future, unknown aspects of the present, or spiritual realms. They serve as mediums to tap into intuition, subconscious knowledge, or, in some spiritual traditions, connect with divine forces.
  

Here are some common types of divination tools and their practices:

1. Tarot Cards: A 78-card deck divided into Major and Minor Arcana, each card representing symbolic archetypes, situations, and characters. Tarot readings involve shuffling and drawing cards, interpreting their meanings in relation to the seeker's question or situation.
   
2. Runes: Ancient Norse symbols carved on stones or wood, each representing a concept or force in nature. Rune readings involve casting the runes and interpreting their meanings based on their positions and combinations.
   
3. I Ching: An ancient Chinese text containing 64 hexagrams, each symbolizing a different state of change. Consulting the I Ching involves casting yarrow stalks or coins to create a hexagram and interpreting its meaning from the text.
   
4. Pendulums: A weighted object suspended from a chain or string, used to access subconscious knowledge or communicate with spirits. Practitioners ask questions and interpret the pendulum's movements (swinging side to side, back and forth, or in circles) as answers.
   
5. Scrying: The practice of gazing into reflective surfaces like crystals, mirrors, or water to receive visions or messages. Practitioners relax their minds, focus on a question, and interpret the images or symbols that appear.
   
6. Astrology: The study of celestial bodies and their positions to interpret influences on human affairs. Astrologers create birth charts based on a person's birth date, time, and location, and use planetary alignments to make predictions or offer guidance.
   
7. Numerology: The study of numbers and their mystical significance. Numerologists assign numerical values to names, dates, and events, and analyze patterns to reveal hidden meanings or insights.
   
8. Tea Leaf Reading: A practice of interpreting patterns in tea leaves left in a cup after drinking. Readers examine the shapes and symbols formed by the leaves to offer insights into the seeker's life or future possibilities.
   
9. Geomancy: A practice that involves casting dots and lines to develop a sense of specific periods of time and space.
   
10. Palmistry: The practice of reading the lines, mounts, and markings on the hand to reveal information about a person's character, life path, and potential. Palmists examine the shape of the hand, the lines on the palm, and the mounts at the base of the fingers to make interpretations.

REPOST as someone pointed out I got the location wrong in my title (was watching a tv programme about Thailand while writing and my brain got confused, couldn’t edit)
My 22F boyfriend M27 is currently on a lads holiday in Greece. Yesterday we had a conversation about boundaries as strip clubs were mentioned and knowing what lads can be like when they all get together I used it as an opportunity to discuss my boundaries. He respected them and we carried on with our days. However today we ended up having a massive argument (ish) where we were discussing issues within our relationship - completely irrelevant to the story but context none the less. He went out tonight as planned and I had no problem with this, about 6pm my time and 8pm his I texted him saying “text me when you’re back at the hotel have a good night!” and at 11pm my time and 1AM his he still had not replied or even seen that message. I decided to check his location to see if he was okay, safe and not passed out in the middle of a foreign country (I do NOT make a habit of checking his location, we have it on for safety and logistical reasons - aka so I know when to put the dinner on when he’s on his way home from work) and it showed that he was at a completely different hotel to where he was staying. I told myself to give it 5 minutes as it might just be updating and then I checked again and he was still there so I sent him another simple “you okay?” message. After 20 mins he still had not replied and he was still at the hotel. So I called him as now the worst is spinning through my mind. He did not pick up so I called him again and still no answer. Another 20 minutes pass and still no answer and still at the hotel. So I call again and still nothing. I start to really panic now so I text him and I say “it’s says you’re at another hotel, please can you just answer me and let me know where you are”. I still hear nothing from him, and then another half an hour I hear back from him saying he was getting money out an ATM and I queried him saying for an hour? He then said I was crazy for stalking his location and calling him so many times. I do feel awful that I am insecure and I know I have a habit for being anxious but I just don’t believe that you can stand at an ATM for an hour without seeing any of my texts and seeing that I was worrying.
So Reddit, am I an insecure asshole?
