Waste of 15 years

I, f/41, have been with my partner for 15 years. At the beginning I thought he was everything I wanted in a partner. I’m not gonna lie he has given me a great life and he’s always made sure I’m ok and have what I need. But as the years have gone (flew) by I begun to notice things that ….well…. fucking bother me. He’s very emotionally unavailable. I’m BPD and for those of you who know those two don’t mix. I’m surprised we’ve lasted this long. I’ve actually begun to see that he’s somewhat of a narcissist too. I always feel like he’s judging me. I’ve caught him flicking me off and shit like that behind my back also. We don’t have sex anymore (I won’t get into why) so there’s absolutely no affection or passion between us at all anymore. I feel like I’m living with a friend not a lover or true partner. To make matters worse I’ve become financially dependent on him which “I KNOW I KNOW”, I’m in the process of correcting that. It takes time unfortunately. I don’t really know where I’m going with this I just feel really alone. It sucks. That’s all.

[For Hire] Experienced Cross Stitcher Seeking Commission Opportunities

Hi everyone,

I’m stepping outside of my comfort zone and going out on a limb here. I’m a disabled student, and lately I’ve been trying to think of ways to supplement my income—not anything major, just enough to make life a little easier and not have to worry about whether I can afford bread or milk that week.

I’m a cross stitcher, and I absolutely love everything about it. I was taught how to cross stitch by a babysitter when I was about 8 years old, and I was instantly hooked. Fast forward to today, and I probably have enough supplies to open my own shop! I’m always working on multiple projects at the same time. I must say that this hobby has brought me so much joy over the years. It has also played a big role in helping improve my mental health.

So, I wanted to put myself out there and see if there might be any interest in custom cross-stitch work. I am looking for freelance, work-from-home stitching opportunities and would love the chance to create something special for you or a loved one.

I can create custom pieces for:
• Birthday gifts
• Wedding gifts
• Mother’s Day gifts
• Anniversary gifts
• Baby gifts
• Memorial pieces
• Holiday gifts
• “Just because” gifts
• Home décor and personalized keepsakes

I am passionate about using the highest-quality materials in every project I make, including premium fabrics, silk threads, and Delica beads whenever a design calls for them. I take great pride in my work and put a lot of care, attention to detail, and love into every stitch.

If you or someone you know might be interested in a custom piece, please send me a DM. Even if you’re not looking for anything right now, I would truly appreciate any shares or recommendations.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for supporting a fellow stitcher and student. ❤️ 🪡🧵
