I know this is a dumb question, but couldn’t find the answer anywhere…
Do I need a cell plan / SIM for the burner phone, or am I good to just use my real phone as a hot spot? Figure I can create a new email, google voice number, use new pictures on the burner and I’m good to go without paying another monthly phone bill.

For context me and my ex broke up less then a month ago after about a two year relationship.
It was out of the blue (for me at least) as I came home one day from work and she dropped the bomb, with no solid reason kind of just bouncing around many different things that didn’t make much sense to me, as far as I know she was loyal but I guess who knows.
I admit I was not perfect what’s so ever, I did love her very much and this outcome dusted me a lot worse then her, as I had to leave our basement sweet the same day and figure out a new apartment within the days, she took the vehicle we shared/split and her answer when I asked her to pay me out for the half i paid, was “talk to my mom” now there is a lot more to this but it doesn’t really matter was just for some context (I got fucked over out of the blue and left with nothing)
After we the breakup we spoke and I kept it cool, trying my best to be nice. I would say was probably the most healthy breakup I’ve ever had(until now), she cried and said she handled it wrong and I forgave her. 2 weeks later on pretty much no contact other then dropping my stuff off. I went out on the town with some friends, long story short by the end of the night my phone got stolen and I had no where to go(long ducking story ) I didn’t have my phone or keys and I was under the influence. I was in a vulnerable moment, and I made the mistake of believing that my ex would help me out. So I went to their place and knocked on the window, not trying to get in but to ask if they could call my friends or help me out in anyway. Was brief short and I left as I obviously got no help. Now I know I never should’ve done this I’m very aware of that. The next day I texted and apologized and tried to explain it a little. She blew up and was upset (which was some what fair) but I said sorry and then ended up blocking her number when it seemed like it wasn’t going anywhere.
Couple days go by, I have her blocked on everything I hear she is posting shit on social media about that situation making it something it’s not and essentially dogging my name and talking shit. Now I understand she would be upset but up until that mistake I’ve done nothing wrong or in better words anything to hurt or upset her until I made the mistake of thinking she still somewhat cared.
Anyways here is my question I did love her very much I’m starting to realize that may have not been reciprocated because of how she is going about it now hurts a lot. And I could never treat her like how I’ve been treated. I don’t know if she is doing this to get my attention or because she’s hurting and making me the villain in her head is helping her get over it? But it just makes no sense because she’s the one that left me with nothing , dusted me, and took advantage of me. And is now trying to make me look like the bad guy.
If anyone has some insight that would be awesome , half of me posting this is just to rant, sorry for the long ass text.
Edit/add on. Her behaviour is very painful for me and doesn’t help me move on and I don’t know how else to handle it, it almost manipulates it into me feeling like I am a bad guy. All I want to do is reach out to her but I know very well that will be gasoline for her selfish behaviour.

Usually people suggest you wear a mask, dress inconspicuously, avoid cameras, buy a burner phone with cash, buy a SIM/cell service card to make call in a secluded environment, then discard the phone. I can’t really do that because the local police department told me that what I’m reporting is very serious and that the detective assigned to the case would like to follow up with me. The reason I’m trying to remain untraced is because I fear that by giving my statements, I’d be viewed as a potential threat or unintentionally incriminate myself.
So how easy is it to trace a second phone number app (i.e. Google Voice, TextNow, Talkatone, etc.) on a burner phone? Obviously I’d only turn it on and use it far away from where I live and places I frequent and either make sure there are no cameras around or make the call in a very crowded place. Then turn it off when I’m done. But even with all that, can I still be found?

Broke up with my (30f) ldr boyfriend (32m) of 2 years 💔 need some encouraging words
today, i broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years (turning 2 in a month actually 💔), but i just can’t go on anymore.
we started sooooo good. but i guess they will start showing their true colors if you just wait a little bit longer.
a year into our relationship, he was really sweet and saying all the right things. then he started becoming this nonchalant person that i don’t recognize at all.
ever since then i had become this “toxic” girlfriend who would constantly ask him for reassurance and shit.
i have a very messed up immune system and i get sick very easily. a year into our relationship, he would still fall very much worried every time i got sick. eventually he “got used” to it and would just respond with “that sucks,” “i’m so sorry,” “hope you feel better.” gone were the “baby i’m so worried about you,” and all the mushy shit.
we never met once. he was going to surprise me with visit last year of May (before we turned a year), but we didn’t know he needed a visa to come to my country and they didn’t let him hop on the plane. he’s still yet to get his US citizenship (this year) so we thought we just wait it out a bit longer.
during the 2-year relationship, we only ever had online sex ONCE. he said he’s not comfortable doing it online which i respected. but then he wouldn’t even flirt with me & would constantly “cockblock” me whenever i tried flirting with him. every time i would send him spicy photos, he would just say “woooow, that’s so sexy baby” and that’s it, he would change the subject immediately.
he’s always been a loner. no friends. he has a job but he would dodge his coworkers’ invites to go hang with them. he says it’s his choice & that he doesn’t want to spend money on some “stupid shit.”
2 months ago we had a fight & he admitted to missing “hooking up” & slightly suggested that maybe we should just break up. but then took it back because “he couldn’t imagine his life without me” and that “it was just a thought.”
fast forward to 3 days ago (first 2 screenshots), i told him i had really bad period cramps (i have endometriosis) that i needed to take pain killers. his only response was “sucks 😕 hope you feel better” and “good morning.”
called him that morning & hang up when he didn’t even ask me how i was feeling. then called me back to which i did not answer and the rest was in the screenshots.
3rd screenshot was yesterday when i told hin over the phone that i almost got shot (had a gun pointed at me). instead of asking how i was, he said “why did you even open the door when you heard the commotion? that’s very stupid” so then i hung up the phone again.
the last screenshot was this morning when i finally had the courage to end it.
i feel so lost. i know some of you are going to say that i should’ve left a long time ago or that i shouldn’t have trusted someone whom i haven’t seen yet. but please, all i need is some compassion, light & love.
thank you all & i’m so sorry if i was all over the place.

Hey everyone!
My wife and I have a 2024 x5 and just did an update on it today. Before the update, my wife could use her cell phone as a key for the car just as you would with any other key. However, after the update this no longer works. The car won’t unlock unless you place the phone on the charging pad and the car doesn’t unlock without you using the phone near the handle as though you are paying for something with your Apple wallet. Is there a way to get the old settings back? I went through the car settings and can’t figure out if this is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
TLDR: In the past, as long as she had the phone on her she could unlock and drive the car without even touching the phone. Would like to get these settings back if possible.

Hey Reddit Fam,
Let's talk about a nutrient that often flies under the radar but plays a crucial role in our overall health: Vitamin A. You might have heard about it in passing or seen it listed on the back of your cereal box, but there's so much more to this essential vitamin than meets the eye.
What is Vitamin A? Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is vital for various bodily functions, including vision, immune system support, cell growth, and reproduction. It exists in two primary forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol and its esterified form, retinyl ester) and provitamin A carotenoids (like beta-carotene) found in plants.
Benefits of Vitamin A:

1. Vision Support: You've probably heard that carrots are good for your eyes, right? That's because they're packed with beta-carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A. This vitamin is essential for maintaining good vision, especially in low-light conditions.
2. Immune System Booster: Vitamin A plays a critical role in supporting your immune system, helping your body fight off infections and illnesses. It helps maintain the integrity of your skin and mucous membranes, acting as a barrier against harmful pathogens.
3. Skin Health: Ever wondered why retinol is a key ingredient in many skincare products? That's because Vitamin A promotes healthy skin by supporting cell turnover, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and combating acne.
4. Reproductive Health: Vitamin A is essential for reproduction and fetal development. Pregnant individuals need adequate levels of Vitamin A to support the growth and development of their baby.

Sources of Vitamin A:

1. Animal Sources: Liver, fish oil, eggs, and dairy products are rich sources of preformed Vitamin A.
2. Plant Sources: Dark leafy greens, orange and yellow vegetables (like carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin), and fruits (like mangoes and apricots) are excellent sources of beta-carotene.

Potential Risks of Vitamin A Deficiency: A deficiency in Vitamin A can lead to a range of health issues, including night blindness, increased susceptibility to infections, dry skin, and impaired growth and development in children.
Word of Caution: While Vitamin A is crucial for good health, it's essential to consume it in moderation. Too much preformed Vitamin A, especially from supplements, can be toxic and lead to adverse health effects. Always aim to meet your Vitamin A needs through a balanced diet rather than relying solely on supplements.
In conclusion, Vitamin A is a powerhouse nutrient with a wide array of benefits for our health and well-being. By incorporating Vitamin A-rich foods into our diets, we can support our vision, boost our immune system, and promote overall vitality.
What are your favorite Vitamin A-rich foods, and how do you incorporate them into your meals? Let's share our tips and tricks for getting our daily dose of this essential nutrient!
Stay healthy, Reddit!

I'm getting out of a rough relationship and haven't really felt anything for anyone but finally felt something for someone at a hospital I round at. I'm not a core member of the team, I just come daily to check in on consults.
A nurse had been friendly with me over the last few months and I think he's cute. We've talked before and he seems to seek me out and tries to be helpful. He gave me, what I read, as a sly smile today. I could just be reading too much into it but it felt like a "I'm glad to see you and you're cute" smile. He was too busy to talk to but we've had nice chats before and when I bring the staff branded items he is the only one that hugs me. I don't see him hug anyone else. He tried to chat with me but then I got pulled away.
Today I also brought some branded items for staff as a thank you. I handed it out and said thanks to a few other nurses. I left him a few items on his desk too as he was busy. I then went back and decided to leave my business card. I wrote "thank you!" And underlined my phone number. I was hoping it would be a sort of discreet way of giving him my number or to encourage him to ask me out. I hand out business cards to others that need to contact me, but would never highlight my cell phone number on it.
I didn't want to be too obvious and create rumors surrounding us on the unit but I only ever run into him there. I still think I gave a pretty strong hint.
He never texted me :( it's been a day. I'm super bummed, I really thought he was into me. They'll be other people I cross paths with, and I'll be okay no matter what. It would have been a really cute story though!

It's not just a scent; it's a journey to a realm of luxury, mystery, and a little bit of magic. Let's embark on this fragrant adventure together, shall we?
There exists a world beyond the usual spritz of eau de parfum - a world where scent becomes an art form, a personal signature, and a luxury experience. This world is best exemplified by the exquisite collection of Gissah Imperial Valley, a range of premium perfume oils designed for the connoisseur of luxury fragrances. Today, we're diving deep into the allure of these perfume oils, revealing why they stand out in the crowded fragrance market and how they can elevate your personal scent narrative. Let's get started.

The Luxury of Premium Perfume Oils

At the heart of Gissah Imperial Valley lies a passion for creating perfumes that are truly exceptional.

Each perfume oil is crafted with an unwavering dedication to quality and sophistication, ensuring a luxurious experience that goes beyond the mere application of scent.

The Benefits of Premium Perfume Oils

So why choose premium perfume oils over traditional alcohol-based perfumes? Here are just a few reasons:

• Longevity: As mentioned earlier, these oils boast a higher concentration of fragrance, resulting in a longer-lasting and more intense scent experience.
• Sensitivity: The absence of alcohol in these oils makes them ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies, as they are less likely to cause irritation.
• Customization: With the ability to layer scents and control the intensity of each application, premium perfume oils offer a level of personalization that is simply not achievable with traditional perfumes.

The Gissah Imperial Valley Experience

Now, let's take a closer look at what sets Gissah Imperial Valley apart in the world of luxury fragrances. Here are just a few highlights that make these perfume oils truly unique:

• Exquisite Ingredients: Each perfume oil is carefully crafted using premium ingredients sourced from around the world, resulting in scents that are rich, complex, and truly indulgent.
• Bespoke Blending: The oils are blended by hand, ensuring a meticulous attention to detail and a level of customization that mass-produced perfumes simply cannot match.
• Enchanting Scents: From sweet florals to warm spices, Gissah Imperial Valley offers a diverse range of scents that cater to every taste and preference.
• Premium Packaging: The perfume oils are housed in sleek, elegant bottles that exude luxury and make for a beautiful addition to any fragrance collection.

Tips for Using Perfume Oils

To get the most out of your Gissah Imperial Valley perfume oils, here are a few tips:

• Choose the Right Application Method: While some may prefer to dab the oil directly onto their skin, others may find it easier to apply using a rollerball or a dropper. Experiment and see what works best for you.
• Layer Scents: Don't be afraid to mix and match different scents to create your own bespoke fragrance blend. Start with lighter scents as a base and build on them with deeper, more intense oils.
• Apply to Pulse Points: To make the most of your perfume oil's longevity, apply it to your pulse points - wrists, neck, and behind the ears. These areas emit heat, which helps to activate and intensify the fragrance.

The Art of Perfume Oils

Perfume oils, often revered for their purity and depth, offer a more intimate fragrance experience compared to their alcohol-based counterparts. Without the sharpness of alcohol, the true essence of the perfume ingredients is allowed to shine, unfolding slowly on the skin to reveal their complex layers over time. This characteristic makes Gissah Imperial Valley's perfume oils a choice for those who seek a more personal and long-lasting connection with their fragrance.

Why Choose Gissah Imperial Valley?

• Apply to Pulse Points: Warmth amplifies fragrance. Apply the oil to your wrists, neck, and behind your ears to enhance its diffusion.
• Start with a Clean Slate: Fragrance interacts with your skin's natural oils. Ensure your skin is clean and moisturized for the best scent experience.
• Layer Wisely: If you're layering scents, start with the heaviest or most potent fragrance first and build up with lighter scents to avoid overwhelming your olfactory senses. Gissah Imperial Valley's perfume oils provide a perfect base for layering due to their high concentration.

I’m wanting to purchase a “dumb” phone to use daily. I want something that I can still listen to music on though just wanting some recommendations. I’ve thought about an older smartphone possibly I just need to make sure it would still work on the cell towers.

S, I miss you dearly....I think of you often and wonder what you're up to, if you're still in the morning routine of watching PBS news hour, drinking your burr grounded coffee and eating a toasted Kettlemen's bagel with cream cheese...you're such a "hebe" as you once referred to yourself as, at one of our first dates. I still remember your eyes, seeing your sweetness, your love, your curiosity and desire. I reflect back to our red couch conversations about anything and everything...even though you still thought we talked about nothing. I miss our embraces and how well we fitted together like a puzzle, it felt so effortless. In the end ...it was that effortlessness that was my mirage to how you felt there was not quite enough effort...you said you wanted to argue, no sorry, you wanted "debate". I was too passive and we got along too well. That phone conversation we had while you stayed at your parents after leaving me...I recall what you said about how you're mum told you "you always do things the hard way" - she was referring to you leaving an obviously made to be relationship. I miss your parents and the dinners, chatting with your dad about canines and our love for their sentient companionship and childlike behaviours. Your mother, quick as a whip and wholly rhe pants in the household. I remember your laugh and your deep and commanding voice, it's was so powerful and clearly only had two volume presets, full blast surround and off. I miss the walks into the woods ...you know, the ones that never ended since my curious self would drag you off the beaten path to explore. We were together a limited time...you said you wanted adventure and to build something with someone...you couldn't be who I wanted you to be...funny thing is, you were everything I wanted you to be...just you as you were. I, on the other hand, was hearing insinuation that I was less than, I did not meet your ideal other half. Searing pain and disbelief. You said I ruined your life. Yet, I'm still waiting...for time to pass and lead you back. I'm here, we all make mistakes and we all grow. I know you're my one. I'll bring that knowledge to the grave and I fully accept that knowing and materialization of said knowledge are two different things - and may never ideally align. We are two olives in a martini glass - seemingly a faux pas. Seemingly.

Hi everyone. I hope you’re doing as well as you can be.
My big brother passed away a couple of months ago. We were very close. He didn’t leave a will. He lived with our mom while trying to get his life back on track, unfortunately alcohol took hold.
He was in the hospital a few days and then he passed. My sister took his phone out of the bag they put his personal belongings in and has had it ever since. My mom wanted it back because it’s the last thing he used and wanted to preserve it as it was. Unfortunately my sister refused to give it back to her and has now started using it as her personal cell (hers is disconnected). She says she has a right to it and our mom doesn’t because our dad got him the phone.
My dad and sister have been nagging my mom to sell my brothers car, his PC, and to forget about the phone.
A go fund me was started for expenses and ultimately raised $1100. The friend who started it coordinated with my sister to send her the funds. I was the one in charge of everything else but the friend thought my sis was. My mom wants to go to the cemetery to order his plaque but my sister is holding the money stating that she wants to wait to order the plaque so she can pitch in to get him a fancy plaque. But she’s unemployed right now.
My mom called me crying because she went to the cemetery to visit him and couldn’t find his plot because he has no marker.
My sister is the queen of victim mentality and has a very short temper. I’ve tried talking to her about it (phone and money) but she gets angry and the conversation isn’t constructive.
Am I being unreasonable for being angry at the situation? Idk if it’s the situation or the fact that I have resentment because my sister treated my brother badly. What do I do?
Thank you for reading and for any advice.
TLDR; brother passed, stubborn sister keeping go fund me money and his phone, mom is sad what do I do

Dad refuses to carry a cell phone; Mom, sister, and I all have iPhones.
We worry about him getting into an accident or stranded without being able to call or signal for help. He does wear a traditional watch, and surprisingly seems open to the idea of a (dumbed down as much as I can make it) smartwatch that would allow him to respond to in-coming calls and make emergency outgoing calls. We like the idea of being able to use "Find My" to track where he is, just in case, as well as the other health/fall detection possibilities.
My current thought is to get an XS/11 iPhone for cheap, set up a new Series 9 watch (make me & sister emergency contacts), plug the iPhone in at my parents' house keeping it on silent and essentially hidden away while always being on. Then my dad can just wear the watch and use it like a phone on the rare occasions he may need it.
He already takes his watch off at night to sleep, so getting him in the habit of putting his Apple Watch on a charging station next to bed seems doable. I would also go into the iPhone and make sure all the info-sharing capabilities are turned on for my & my sister, like Health apps. I'm just worried that in a couple of years there could be some update to the watch that would no longer make XS/11-models compatible. Is this a rational fear or will these models always be compatible?
Additionally, are there things I'm not thinking or realizing will be a problem about this set-up? If this base-idea seems workable, my next concern would be the face & complications set-up. It would need to be very simple, jitterbug-esque-- maybe Modular Duo or Utility?
If there's anyone out there who's done this kind of thing before for an elderly relative, I'd love to hear your tips.

I just wanted my wallet so I could go to work to provide for my family.
Class A misdemeanor for domestic assault. WTF do I do and how effed am I?
What should I expect, and what's best approach.
Long story short...*edit....apparently long story long* My wife and I have been married 16 years and things have been rocky for atleast a couple years. Last Jan/Feb she said things were over (for the 2,937th time) and used an online service to draw up some sort of paperwork that wasn't ever going to be valid, we both signed and she submitted (not sure when), but it was rejected (again not sure when) because custody was notin place and probably becausethe document wasnt valid. Also, we were living in Pennsylvania until Oct of 2023. At the end of March of 2023, I was on a work trip and she went out and hooked up with someone she was talking to...not sure when they started talking. We weren't really speaking for a couple/few weeks when I went on the trip. She told me shortly after I got back and notified me she was going to live her life and date. It was a brutal 2 months, but I had been a pretty bad husband with the exception of providing.
Early June we decided to build a new relationship and ended up relocating to TN at the end of Oct. Things were stressful with moving and then added stress with it just being the 4 of us (son 10 and daughter 5). We had a few disagreements before Xmas and than a pretty big argument at Xmas. After Xmas things were never the same, alot of resentment crept in on my end and she never really recommitted so it was a disaster.
End of Feb I got a new boss and expectations went up and with me being the sole provider I started putting in more hours. She accused me of cheating, to which I've never even had anything that could be construed as flirting in the 17 years we've been together. At the end of February I put in a 16 hour day and lost track of time and failed to call and let her know I was running really late. She blew up and once again went right for the jugular and ended things. She had done this 5+ times since xmas, and this time I decided I wasn't going to love like this anymore...walking on egg shells if I disagreed with her about anything. This triggered her even more and she continued to text me all the time over the next 2 months and reiterated everything I've done wrong. On a number of occasions I said "you said it was over", I said "ok, let's just be amicable and make a difficult situation a little easier." She continued to escalate pretty much any conversation.
Over the last 4 months I've tried to leave but she weaponizes the kids and said I'm abandoning them and insulting me that I'm a deadbeat, etc. We've been sleeping separately for about 8 weeks with the exception of 3 weeks when she got really sick and had an tooth abscess that swelled her eye shut. Left work took her to hospital and the for emergency surgery next morning. Over that 5 day stretch she asked me to rub her shoulders, so I did and fell asleep.
This paints a picture of where we were at last Thurs. I got home from work and she planned on taking the kids to wal mart. I asked her to drive her car. She said she'd drive whatever car she wanted. Now mind you, she hates my car and complains every time she has to drive it...except the last couple weeks. So while she was getting ready, I parked it in with my company car...yes I know...petty. She goes outside and starts trying to get it out, so I jumped in and said, ok I'm coming. Then she nearly hits the garage so I shut the car off. She restarted and we went back and forth 4 or 5 times. She raised her hand and I said go ahead, I'll call the police this time. She called the bluff and smacked me across the face. I immediately got out of the car and went back inside. I took a Pic of my red face. She came in and we had a verbal exchange and we're very close to each other and she smacked me 3 more times, grabbed my face with her nails and cut my lip. I was going to call at that point, but immediately knew someone would go to jail. I decided to go to bed and locked the door to my room and fell asleep. She broke in, took my work laptop, took my wallet and car keys and tried to take my phone. I just went back to bed and figured she's raging and I'll get my shit in the morning. Woke up, showered, woke my son up, got him in the shower, got ready. She woke up and gave everything back except my wallet. I asked nicely about 50 times....she refused because she was going to go withdraw $ from my account....separate bank accounts since the affair. I continued to ask nicely and then not so nice. I then began to call her some nasty stuff. All I wanted was my wallet so I could got put in a 12 hour day to provide for my wife and kids. I went outside to smoke a cigarette and when I came back in I asked again and called her a few more names. At that point I realized she didn't have her cell phone....super odd, and she wasn't retaliating....again super odd. Then it hit me, she's recording me going off to use against me. So I called her phone and it rang in the laundry room. I was much closer and we both went towards it. I got there first and started looking for it, but she kinda pushed me with her momentum, but I managed to get the door partially closed. She pushed her way in and I don't remember if she grabbed the phone first or it was at the same time. We both kept pulling at the phone and she was screaming and my son was yelling, she asked him for help and he called 911 and said my dad is hurting my mom. I pulled the phone away and immediately walked away. Cops came, I left in handcuffs, sat for 13 hours and bailed out. No contact order with her with exception of welfare of the kids, court on 6/6. She's working on getting permission from the court for pickup and drop off of the kids and said she will make a statement that I didn't hurt her, never had anything like this happened and will have my back.
I'm absolutely broken.

Hello! I'm residing in Santiago Chile and am about to embard on a journey across the continent.
An important piece in the puzzle is getting an appropriate car. I will do a lot of km's but also would like to challenge myself in an off-road environment.
I found 2 cars that meed my budget and expectations. Both are listed for around 15k USD.
I've read a lot about both models and I have a slight preference towards Prado but there are a couple of caveats as both of them are modified and have different mileage.
Can you please help me with your experience and opinion? I would greatly appreciate it :)

Hello! I'm residing in Santiago Chile and am about to embard on a journey across the continent.
An important piece in the puzzle is getting an appropriate car. I will do a lot of km's but also would like to challenge myself in an off-road environment.
I found 2 cars that meed my budget and expectations. Both are listed for around 15k USD.
I've read a lot about both models and I have a slight preference towards Prado but there are a couple of caveats as both of them are modified and have different mileage.
Can you please help me with your experience and opinion? I would greatly appreciate it :)

I subscribe to Starlink for remote area, whether there is no cell phone coverage nothing (Patagonia). Before moving the kit there, I’d like to do a test . Define a new location in Buenos Aires and thereafter move the location back to my old remote location once I did the test . Thereafter, I bring my kit to the contractor, place.

my bf 22M and i 23F have been dating since september of last year. we met through family and friends and this has been the best relationship i have ever been in. i have never shared a connection so strongly with someone and we both bonded through common pasts, we both have been cheated on and dealt with family that had substance abuse growing up. he is the most sweetest, loving, and honest man i’ve ever been with.
fast forward to november of last year i got a season job working at a clothing store. i work from home so this was my first ever job ive experienced that is in a social setting. i dont really have many friends so i was hoping to experience having work friends for the first time. i eventually made a few friends at my job, and one of them was named phillip.
me and my boyfriend have talked about boundaries when it comes to being friends with the opposite gender at the beginning of my job and he was okay with eachother being friends with the opposite gender but i wasnt. his whole life he was raised by his 2 lesbian grandmothers so he’s always had more of a bond towards women than he does males. i told him i wouldn’t be comfortable with that. he never really told me how strong he felt about his views, and he kind of just went along with what i said and stuck with my view on this topic.
phillip began to show signs that he is interested in me. he would try and talk to me in flirty was at times and i would shut them down. i let him know that i had a boyfriend, but sometimes he would still be flirty. i never flirted back with him and i told my boyfriend about him and the things that he says and instantly my boyfriend told me not to talk to him. and where i went wrong is by still choosing to talk to him. eventually phillip asked me for my number and we started to text. anytime we texted it was about work. we would make fun of the mean bosses and how rude and annoying some ppl can be and overall work drama. anytime he would try to be flirty i would shut it down and just ignore his texts.
my bf didn’t have any idea that we were texting. i understand how wrong and selfish this was of me. but i would still continue to do it while telling my bf that i won’t speak to him. fast forward to the beginning on january this year, all of the seasonal workers had to leave including me. after i left the job phillip still texted me from time to time to give me updates on how work is going bc he is a regular worker there but i stopped responding to him after getting fired because i felt very about it.
in february my boyfriend grew suspicious and decided to go through my phone. ive already deleted phillip off my phone but his number was still there. my bf seen this and started to cry and scream. i broke his heart by lying to him and i felt absolutely terrible for what ive done. i will never forgive myself for hurting him in that way. i never flirted back with him but my bf says that i emotionally cheated on him. all i wanted was to experience work friends and in doing that i broke the boundaries that i set in place in the relationship. after that happened our dynamic slightly changed. he is still so sweet and does nice things for me but he is a lot more meaner, short tempered and calls me names and tells me that im stupid and things like that. it hurts my feelings but i understand with how much i hurt him. we have gotten into a lot more arguments about petty things now.
recently he has become acquainted with a girl he met in his new class. this friendship started because the professor makes them do a lot of partner work and they so happened to be next to eachother so that’s how it started. the first time they partnered together he told me that he thinks she likes him but later on he said he only said that to get back at me. joke or not that made me become very jealous and insecure about it. anytime he would mention her and the class i grew jealous and would make negative comments about it. it bothered so much because i thought he was doing these things just to get back at me.
we’ve had a lot of arguments about this. and his argument is that he was always okay with being friends with the opposite gender but i wasn’t and we went along with what i wanted but since i broke that rule he feels it’s okay to continue the friendship. and anytime i tell him how i feel about this he bring up the past situation with phillip, so it feels like i don’t have a say or can’t complain about it. i eventually gave in and said it’s okay to be partners and be cool with her as long as it’s kept inside the classroom.
he began to tell me that he would like to follow her on instagram, i told him im not okay with that so we had an argument about that. he never did though. then later on she messaged him on on a student app called group me asking if he would like to go together to a student event at the library that the professor assigned. i told him i wasn’t okay with them meeting up and going together. we argued.
fast forward to recently last friday he was going to a college concert with his roomates who are guys. i was so happy to see him going and having fun but i was sad i couldn’t go because we’re long distance. after the event he calls me and tells me “you’re not going to like this but i went with my rooomates and the girl was there, she introduced me to her friends and i introduced her to my roomates and we all hung out”. my heart ripped from my chest. i become to get angry and emotional. i asked him to share his screen on his phone. and i found messages and them planning to meet up to the concert. i got so angry and began to cry. not only did he tell me after he did that but he lied about him just so happening to see her there. it didn’t go that way at all, he planned to meet up together before it even started. yes his roommates were with him but i was so upset that he lied to me.
after expressing my frustration about it he started bringing up the phillip situation. eventually he cried and apologized to me about lying. he’s never done this before he’s always so honest so i was just hurt. he told me that he kept it from me because i would have reacted badly and tried to keep him from going.
fast forward to today he called me to talk about his feelings. he expressed that how im acting about this friendship is getting to him. he says that i should have trust in him, that he would never disrespect our relationship. he explained that he does like her as a friend and only that. he said how toxic i have been towards this made him question his feelings towards me but he realized all of the great moments we have together and how much he loves me and wants to be together. he wants me to have trust in him and allow this friendship to continue.
it’s just so hard for me to accept him being friends with another woman. i’m scared he will gain an attraction to her. i’m just so scared of this becoming a possibility and i don’t know how to overcome this issue we’ve been having. please someone tell me advice i love him so much

I’ve rewatched the whole series and something that keeps annoying me is the way Carrie is useless when it comes to technology. I know during time the show is set, laptops and cells were new-ish, but if she’s supposed to be a writer then why can’t she even work Word properly? I would get not understanding any other computer stuff but not backing up her work too? I would think that would be basic knowledge for that position. Like her work wasn’t as important to her as she said it was or made it seem like. Also, in some episodes her column was in before deadline or she wrote it but it was a hassle to do it because her life got in the way. I get that her life is her work, but if I’m supposed to believe that she actually works, it should’ve been treated a bit better.
Her not being able to figure out how to answer her cell phone, idk why but it really just irks me cause it makes it even harder to like her as a character, for me at least. Miranda got her a cell phone and she couldn’t be bothered to learn how to flip the phone to answer or press the green button? I just feel like all of this just backs up how selfish and self involved Carrie was. She expected everyone to be available to her whenever she needed them but wouldn’t reciprocate.
