I have run into a frustrating problem and need some help.

I'm updating an important document for work. It's about 550 pages long. I am using a shitty virtual machine that work gave me and I'm running Word 2016.

Throughout the document, certain key words are supposed to have an internal hyperlink that when clicked, should take you to that key word's definition at the end of document. Many of these links are broken and I have been tasked with fixing them along with other updates. To do this, I have been using the cross reference function to link a key word to the definition. After linking that word, I used the Find and Replace function, copied the word with the correct hyperlink, typed the word into the find box, then put ^c in the replace box. Word finds and replaces everything find, but the hyperlinks do not function unless I directly copy and paste it. If I update the field I get "Error! Reference not found.". The frustrating part is that if I toggle field code it will look exactly the same as links that function correctly, so both fields will say { REF_EatShitFuckYou\h}.
Most of what I'm trying to fix worked fine yesterday and broke today. I have no idea if it is something I am doing, if it is my computer, or what.

I've been crushing hard on a fellow grad student since we met. I'd been dating someone pretty toxic at the time who cheated multiple times. Broke up with her a few months ago and finally decided to bite the bullet and ask her to go to a concert with me. It's a band I like and a genre she had been really getting into lately. She politely declined though and thanked me for the invitation. Didn't give me a reason why, but I honestly appreciate her direct rejection. Although I'm 99% sure she'd crushed on me in the past, I think those feelings faded. I know she'd been talking to someone a few months ago, so maybe that's working out for her. I hope it goes well if that's the case. She's an amazing girl and a big romantic, she deserves a good relationship.

Admittedly I'm a lil bummed out, but that's life. I'm proud of myself for taking the chance and I'm still excited to go to the concert nonetheless. Maybe things will spark up again in the future, but if not then that'll be okay too.

Maybe this is the wrong place to post since I was the dumper and not the dumpee, but I am struggling y'all.

I broke up with my ex a few weeks ago now after I caught her texting her ex for the millionth time. Just like every time before, she told me how sorry she was, how it meant nothing, and that she would never do something so stupid again. I told her I had to break this cycle and be done with it. Every other month since we've started seeing eachother I have caught her communicating with him in some capacity, and after a year and a half I can't do it anymore.

Everyday since the break up she has been texting or calling, begging for another chance. She says she is going to therapy now, doing a workbook to break toxic cycles, threatened her ex with harassment charges if he contacts her again, and said sorry countless times. This all was after I told her I needed space. Come Saturday, I'd had enough and told her I needed to go no contact. She flipped and started driving to me (we were long distance). Her ex actually texted me and told me what was going on. He said he messaged me because he was confused what was going on with her. He said she called him that Monday and threatened him with harassment charges, and called him Saturday to tell him she was coming to me and to yell at him.

She is giving me space now after I removed her from everything and talked her down from driving to me. She sent one more text yesterday though asking to speak about our relationship after a month or two when we had time to process things...

I honestly love her and care about her immensely, but will this cycle ever change?

We've been dating for a year and a half. Had lots of laughs, sweet moments, and made memories I'll always cherish. I'm ending it though.

A couple of months ago she swore it would be the last time I caught her talking to her ex. I told her that's what she said the time before that, but she cried and said she is happy that I will never understand trauma that keeps you tied to someone. Despite every logical braincell in my thick skull screaming it was a bad idea, my heart won out and I agreed to forgive you again and believed you meant it this time. Idk why I'm so naive. Maybe it's because of how into you I was or how much I've dreamed of being in love. Here we are again though.

Look, I'll never know or not if you actually cheated. He reached out saying you did and that you told him you'd broken up with me. What matters is I set a hard boundary that you had to put your past relationship behind you and you broke it.

I can't do it anymore, I'm sorry. I have to be selfish now and think of myself. I have to break this cycle before it breaks me completely.

I will always love you, with everything in me. I wanted it to work so bad, I hope you can understand that. I tried so hard to make it work.

I am sorry.
