Thank you very much, A "cock"work orange. Negativity is common nowadays, so I try to spread positivity where I can. Everyone needs a little bit of brightness and not everyone can make it themselves. So those of us who know better, need to do better.

Oof, sorry you’re having such a rough time right now. I wouldn’t feel too bad about the woman you had to leave behind though. Because relationships are a two-way street and she has to put some effort in too. If she didn’t fight for you or try to figure out a way to make it work for you both, then she wasn’t prioritizing the relationship anyway. As an example, my partner and I lived at least 1000 miles from anyone we knew and we had no support system. When my partner, who was the breadwinner at the time, lost her job, we together found a new solution. Yes, it meant picking up and moving across the country again in less than a year, but the alternative was homelessness. Never once was our relationship on the line, even if our housing was. There’s someone out there who thinks being apart from you is the worst life choice ever, so don’t miss her by being sad about the ones who aren’t her.

The only way to not repeat this is to learn from it. I’m a big proponent of “attract, don’t chase.” When you are the absolute best version of yourself, happily doing your own thing and living your best life, people find that attractive. Try to volunteer or go to hobby events/shops, you’re going to find people who like what you like and try to find a relationship that is a positive feedback loop. I think you should want to do everything in your power to make your partner happy because their happiness brings you joy and your partner should feel the same about you. Boost each other until you both reach your goals.

I agree with you, I think Shaxs can do better. But I also think that maybe Shaxs used to be like Dr. T’Ana and feels some empathy for her. I’ll admit I was a bit kooky before I met my spouse, she recognized that my lashing out was a product of my environment and life experience and offered me a different perspective. She only knew that because she used to lash out for the same reasons and did many years of therapeutic work to get her back on track. So when she saw me hurting in the same ways, she offered me the roadmap she used and I’m a lot better for it. Maybe Shaxs feels this same way about Dr. T’Ana. He sees she’s struggling and indulges her because he loves her, but is also slowly chipping away at the hurt that they share.

Not park time or off leash time, your dog needs leashed walking through the neighborhood with you. Walk circles around a nearby school or weave through the streets and do “focus” training with her to bond.

I dunno man. All I know is that this is very similar to the one I had (https://www.ebay.com/itm/404424220236) and it always worked for me. Just trying to help a person with a suggestion…

Here’s one similar to the one I had! https://www.ebay.com/itm/404424220236

Anti-static keychain! They’re small, cheap, and buyable on Amazon. You basically just touch it and it discharges the static without hurting. Life saver for me, my hair builds up a lot of static and I used to shock myself and family all the time.

At best, Masterson would have to “pay rent” if he were in a regular prison, but honestly he’ll likely go to a rich white person prison where none of that applies. A prisoner would only get killed if he were a child molester.

You aren’t stupid, you’re naive at best, and that’s something you can build from. You can’t teach someone how to have a good heart. So don’t take this as a huge blow (emotionally, financially it’s ok to feel like this was a huge blow if you couldn’t really afford it) and just take this as a lesson in learning to filter out those who genuinely need help and those who don’t. If you really couldn’t afford it, yeah file a police report. Not sure if you’ll get your money back, but it might stop the scammers from doing it again to some other nice people.

When I was a younger person, I was broke as all hell. But I managed to have an extra $5 that I was going to use for a nice lunch. (The first time I hadn’t skipped lunch in ages!) At the gas station, a guy approached me and pulled on the heartstrings. I even said, “this is my last $5.” He had absolutely no qualms about ripping out of my hand and driving away in his car that CLEARLY had enough gas in it for him to get away and wasn’t completely empty as he had told me minutes before. Lesson learned.

Good people in genuine dire straits, don’t personally ask a stranger online for money. That’s why places like GoFundMe exist. If you want to make your local community better, walk around with an extra sandwich in your lunch box and give it to a different homeless person everyday. Pretty much never ever give money and only offer food and company.

Literally a scam. You seem like a good person though, which is why it was so easy to scam you. For real, go volunteer.

You’re clearly a giver and currently immersed in a world of takers. I suggest you find other givers and spend your time doing useful things instead of talking to strangers online. For real the animal shelters and homeless shelters need people bad. Spend your energy there.

Fuck dude, I’m sorry for your loss and the shitty aftermath you had to deal with when you were grieving. I hope you and your father have found peace and happiness and that you don’t have contact with those vultures at all anymore.

Agreed. I think you have to be a certain kind of narcissistic/attention-seeking to be famous at all and I think that humans in general are greedy. Which all translates to, celebrities are likely more fucked up than we think and their family dynamics probably match.

What a cutie and a trooper! “I’m gonna need 1000 kisses stat!”

Fuck yeah. I bet your closet is cool as all fuck.

Obviously, you feel bad/guilty because you’re a good person who cares deeply. Knowing that, would you have treated her the way she treated you? I don’t think so. Ergo, she’s probably a bad person because you know you’re good and you don’t act that way.

Just because you were together for a while doesn’t mean you have any responsibility for her present situation, especially because she’s so abusive. If the roles were reversed, a woman wouldn’t feel guilty about running as far away as possible and you shouldn’t either. Abuse is abuse and it sucks to suck. She’s gotta deal with the consequences of her actions.

I think you should take some time to self-reflect and think about what you really want for yourself in the future. Is this a guy you want to be your boyfriend or still just a fling? If he’s just a fling, you feel no emotional connection, and just want to have sex, move on and get someone who actually wants sex with you. If this is someone who you want to pursue in a serious relationship, ask yourself if this is a person who genuinely makes you feel happy and supported?

Personally, I don’t think he wants to be involved and isn’t worth your time and effort. Life is really short and there’s billions of people out there to meet, millions in your appropriate dating pool, thousands interested in dating, and likely hundreds where you are. So don’t get caught up in some romantic idea of pursuit and star-crossed lovers.
