My most recent relationship (9-10mo) ended with someone (28M) who had never dated before me (31F) so while I was previously married and have had many relationships, I was his first gf/intimate relationship.

Given this, there had always been an off kilter dynamic between us but one that I tried my best to be understanding of and accommodating to, trying my best to show equal respect to the fact that even without as much experience as me it didn’t necessarily affect one’s level of maturity. My mistake. Not only was this partner, in the 9ish months of dating, someone i had to constantly coddle and appease during their - often times - wildly unregulated emotional outbursts… but over time someo

I’m taking a self-care day and thought I’d get a long overdue massage. All the places I’m finding are 95$ or more and frankly I don’t care about myself THAT much. Does anyone have any leads on something cheaper? I’m also going to be in the West Loop (😬) for lunch today so if someone knew of a place there that also works.

Thank you!

Hi, I’m a 31 year old female living in Chicago who is making plans to gtfo of America because… name any of the thousands of reasons that come to mind. I have family across Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastián to name a few) and I am looking for advice from fellow redditors on where a good place to set down roots would be. My dad has been pushing Oviedo, but cursory research seems to suggest it might not be ideal for a younger person who needs a reasonable degree of social/recreational activity to get through the potential hardships of starting anew in a foreign country.

Requirements:
Affordability (cost of living)
General liveliness of (bars, concerts, community, etc)
Work opportun

I literally just learned I am still pregnant five minutes ago. We broke up yesterday. I don’t feel like I will get any support from him in handling whatever the next steps are, which are going to be really intensely emotional and require a lot of strength, lots of things that require emotionally showing up as a partner that he has never been able to really do throughout the relationship. I worry I might muddy the waters between us and also just cause more suffering as we try to close this chapter together.

I have been trying to figure out a way to monitor my socialization on the internet within parameters of verifiable humans, which is complicated given how magnanimous the presence of AI bots commenting in most of my heavily trafficked sites (youtube, reddit, etc) is. It got me wondering if the persistent autobot commentary exists as overwhelmingly on the dark web or if that’s still protected to a degree. I really don’t feel like dealing with all the other headaches that come with resorting to using Tor I just genuinely am curious if that’s the only thing that exists right now where I don’t have to turn off every comment section/use multilevel p2p data encryption/etc just to engage with conten

I know he was featured in a Danny video recently but where’s Drew? He hasn’t uploaded in over 2 months and I’m worried him and BimBim are having marital troubles. Did he get knocked puckside the head at a Panthers game? WHERE IS GUY??

I have many thoughts on our team this season, but obviously one of the main stories has been keeping JK or keeping wiggins. JK isn’t here to speak for himself anymore, which I think is a shame, but personally I always found him more consistent as an all around player and also as a shooter than andrew.

i’m so happy watching lindy, tjd, moody, and gp2 (welcome back!) getting more opportunities. and steph giving santos so many shots in q1 of this game made me excited for what is in our future.

but please tell me the reasons i’m wrong about wiggins. I feel like im just always disappointed watching him, even in his high scoring games.

I know this probably applies to several movies and shows, and it definitely has a mid-late 90s Fincher vibe artistically. Somewhat reminiscent of the original Insomnia but those aren’t it. Any guesses? And no I’m not thinking of Dexter lol
