I didnt chop mine and dont really wanna shove her in darkness. Shes gonna be fine right? lol i kept her alive after my office was gonna toss her and ive seen her grow so tall and even propagated a new baby from one of her broken branches.

I’ve been zeroed out, if I wake up tomorrow with money I won’t tell anyone but there will be signs. Good luck to you all.

Im sure im not the first, actually i know im not but still wanna ask again lol.

Should I get the newer cintiq 16 or the 24?? I've mostly drawn using my iPad 12.9 for the last couple of years, but im ramping up school and honestly love the way drawing on Cintiqs feels. any thoughts? also, is the extra cash for the touch worth it? or could i just use a magic trackpad combo thing?

my ex (M/24) and i (M/27) broke up for about two months and have recently (this week) started hanging out, sleeping together, and saying we love each other again. but im noticing the texting is nothing like it was before. we did go months without really talking to each other thta much soim worried itll always be like this? we were together for four years, and have had the we wanna keep seeing each other in some way talk. i think im just anxious but yeah. was wondering what the experience was for couples that got back together and if the communication ever got better? its great when we're together, we've ven gone on dates again. tho i am still feeling like i might have to be the one that asks them too often and dont really wanna chase them like that at all anymore. any advice would be awesome. i do love him a lot so it would be cool if this worked again

tldr: how was your experience in getting back together after a healthhy separation when you both still loved each other?

At goodwill trying to get a frame for the poster and I forgot to measure it lol does anyone know??

I’ve gone two days without crying. I’m thinking about other men. I’m eating again and dancing to Taylor swift in my room that I’ve started redecorating. Listening to a buuuuuunch of heartbreak podcasts and self help stuff. Watered my plants before I lost anymore, gonna have some wine and make dinner. It’s been 5 days of no contact. And almost a month since the break up. I know the wave of grief will more than likely come back, but I’m seeing the hope and the light again. After 4 years of a relationship that I think deep down I knew was not the one for me, I’m starting to choose myself again.

my boyfriend and i of 3 1.5 years broke up about 2 weeks ago now. We lived together and were truly the best of friends. however he decided to leave the relationship and honestly its the biggest pain i have ever gone through. I've never cried this much about anyone. In all of this, he started hooking up on grindr literally 2 days later, and we were supposed to live together till the end of july but after her came home from a hook up i decided that it was not going to be okay for me and my mental health. so i asked him to move out right away. after that we were still in contact and hanging out, being all couply even started a new show together, and slept together multiple times. but something felt different the last time we hung out. we went out with friends and when he said goodbye to me just like everyone else, a hug and a see ya, i realized yeah no this is 100% done, no matter what their motives or words say (he mentioned trying again later after he figures things out, he also kissed me that same day and said we'd talk later).

yesterday we went to the movies, and i knew that this was probably going to be the last time i initiated plans in a while. as soon as he got there the vibes felt off, and i knew it was time. so after the movie we talked and i basically asked him where he stood, and told him i was sad he chose to leave, but that i also couldnt keep doing this friendhsip atm. he said it was working for him and that he partook in the acting like a couple cause it felt comfortable for him and he enjoyed it, and i responded with saying that he chose to leave, you cant have both things. i told him to get home safe, got in my car while he was still there, and drove away.

i expected to cry, and breakdown on the drive home. instead, i blasted some music, got home hugged my cat, texted my mom, and went to bed. today, being the first actual day of no contact, feels very weird, i know i need time, and i know i need to respect myself and get my life back in order, but i could really use some tips and advice on how to do that lol. also doesnt help that most of my friends since moving here were his friends first so i kinda lost that in the split, but yeah, wish a dude luck i guess. 😅

its been a week since the breakup and 3 days since he moved out.

yesterday was a really good day, i did cry in the morning, a lot, but that was the only time. the day before i might as well have been watering my plants with the amount i had cried. but yesterday idk what shifted. I got up, rearranged the apartment after all his things were gone, went to goodwill picked up some replacement things, enjoyed browsing the shelves, headed to the gym, ran four miles, came home, talked to my mother for forever, had a glass of wine and continued cleaning up while blasting angry pop songs.

during that time he texted me a couple times during the day. and i always answered, but then we made some plans and something snapped in me. Ive been telling myself for the last two days "he chose to leave, he chose to leave and has already started getting with others to distract himself. he. chose. to. leave." and so when the plans were made and he texted back hours later, not even fully answeirng what i had said correctly, i just decided to delete the message and put my phone down, picked up the wine and rearranged the books lol.

i didnt instantly think of him this morning eaither, and when i finally did i said the same thing "he chose to leave" and all i can do now is be here for me. I guess im just saying that mindset is really a crazy tool. also ive been watching a bunch of anxious/avoidant videos and breakup stuff to help too.

anyways, i hope you also have one of those days soon. seriously, cause the sad heartbreak feeiling is so painful, but when the happy/rage/knowing you deserved more feeling kicks in, its amazing. and granted i know i will more than likely cry over him about 100 more times, for weeks, months, hell even years. I also know i 100% will meet someone else, and i will find the love that i know i deserve. and i hope you do too.

okay bye, thanks for listening to my yap sessions.

i keep a pet cam on to watch over my diabetic cat, shes on Bexacat, and i work at an office 8 hrs every day so i like to keep an eye on her, and im seeing my ex of about a week now packing up his stuff that i had moved out of our bedroom. He doesnt move out for 2 months but the sight of him packing up his stuff is actually making me feel good??? i thought it would hurt but it feels the complete opposite? is that weird? He also immediately jumped on grindr after we broke up (like same day) so keeping the smallest of contact has been rather easy, but i think I'm just reaching another step in this process. anyways, wanted to share that progress 😅

My ex and I had sex literally two days ago and then last night he’s sexting some other guy? We were together for four years and he waited a day after we broke up to get on Grindr after telling me he loves me and going on a date with me that very same day. I’m over the thought of getting back together but I just don’t see how he doesn’t think that that’s gonna hurt / annoy me?? At least wait till you move out to start doing that.

Would you block this guy and go no contact? For back up, I posted the other saying my bf and I were going to try staying together but living apart. We got back together 3 days ago after breaking up for 3 days and in that time he and I treated each other just like we use to, and then yesterday we got back from a date night and I brought up how it would work when we move out and he hit me with, I don’t know what I want. To which I responded you slept with me 2 times in the last 3 days and initiated both, texted me all day, called me babe, and said you loved me??? I’m confused??

I got kinda annoyed for feeling really stupid and used, like he was just trying to get one last hit of the relationship before just saying yeah never mind. I’m debating just unfollowing him and setting up roommate dynamics till he moves out in July. Before I was in agreement maybe we needed to work on things and agreed we should break up amicably but now I kinda wanna block the dude.

Sorry for the word vomit. Appreciate yall hearing me out.

Also we’ve been together for four years. No cheating no abuse, nothing. Just lack of effort recently and daily life arguments

My boyfriend and i (23/m 28/m) have been living together for about 2 years together for 4 years. It was amazing at first but there's been instances where we argue and have gotten a little down on living together. we both really love each other tho and have considered, instead of breaking up, just moving to our own apartments. We have never cheated, never abused, never anything like that. just every day arguments, and he has never lived alone and wants to experience that, I also only really lived alone for about a year before he moved in. Do you guys have any advice when it comes to this? I'm feeling a little anxious about the move and will honestly miss him but am very excited for him to experience that.

tl;dr living apart together tips?

tl;dr living apart together tips?

I want to restart my leggy monstera (that has spider mites and i cant deal with hauling it into the shower with such a big pot.) and i wanna keep a two leaf cutting, that node has an aerial root that grew above it that has recently reached the soil. should i cut it at the soil line, ill try and see if i can scoop it out but im tryin gto move that pot around as little as possible. Will it grow a new growth tip when i place it in water or is it going to be stunted?
