Reny of Storms End

A giant douchebag who also clearly has no taste

I just want all of us to catch a break. Like come the fuck on world, let us have and enjoy some happiness!

It would be a personal boost to know that, but even if they are, they are engaged and I’m not gonna be the one to end a relationship. I feel like the time to tell this person my feelings has passed. I think I need to take the advice of the thread and start distancing myself, even though it will hurt a lot to lose them being regularly in my life.

She knows I care about her and love her in the general sense of close friends. She might know more, but it's never been something that was openly discussed. I try to treat all my friends similarly in regards to showing compassion and caring, so I can't say for sure. A different friend, after observing us interacting over a week, did ask me if I had feelings for her. So maybe it is obvious, but no one else has ever mentioned it.

Thank you Chats, DMC, Toth, and Liffguard. I just need to say it again outloud, it really sucks to feel a deep and meaningful connection with someone and think you found the one, but they are with someone else (it was all just emotional, nothing physical). She worked from home and I would sit with her when I was able and we'd talk for 8hrs+ every day. Frankly it's made me seriously doubt myself and my ability to discern how I'm seen by the people around me. Like am I even capable of having someone reciprocate these feelings? I had convinced myself many years ago I was happy alone, and then I met this person. Now all I want is someone to love me and care about me, and it's just like I'm putting too much pressure on any new woman I potentially meet. I think it's only fair to myself and others to not be trying to meet anyone right now, but I hate the loneliness so so much.

I had been attempting to get back into the dating world after some trouble with mental issues, and I’m in a terrible spot. I had a female friend, who was also a roommate for a number of years, that I got closer and closer to. With the end result being I am in love with her, and she is engaged to someone else. I met her and became friends with her through them dating, so I never would have even met this person on my own. Wow does this suck. Any attempts I have made to move on so far have just met with complete failure. Have gone out on dates, not always just first dates, and I can’t move on. Im sure the problem is I still want to remain friends with her, we are close friends and I’ve shared a lot of stuff with her. But that feels like that’s a terrible idea, and I’ve been in this position for a couple months now. I hate the thought of losing someone I have shared so much of my life with, but I’m so lonely and feel so isolated. I have to figure out how to move forward and find someone who will reciprocate the feelings that I have

I think the bill actually makes touching or groping of minors also an incest crime, and increases the criminal penalties of that if the victim is under 12. It sounds like, from what I read after seeing the tweet in this thread, it was a genuine drafting error. It doesn’t change any of the current felony classes for any charge of incest, and makes sexual groping of someone under 12 a higher class felony.

Thank you. It is hard and very scary. And it does feel a lot like rejection. In this moment, yes I believe they think I don't matter. However I also get this is something they feel they need for their relationship and it's what they want. So them being people I love and care for I have to understand and accept it. I just wish it felt like they were also caring about me and what my life will become. A much lonelier and isolated life.

Oh no worries on response time. Yes, exactly some very strong bonds were formed. I have grown to love them both, more so than even my immediate family. They are engaged to each other, and believe that they can't live their lives the way they want if I'm here anymore. We've had tension over me feeling jealous because neither of them are capable of sharing strong feelings out loud with anyone but each other. That's also played a role. And Ive struggled very much in the past with feeling like no will or can love me, and that the people I love don't want me around. So this whole situation feels like validation of all those negative thoughts. Being told by people you see every day, and spent hours laughing and talking to every day, "oh things won't be different, we can get together like once a week for dinner". It's just like I'm being dismissed and I don't matter.

It seems like the people I care about don’t care about me. The two people I care about the most, who I’ve lived with since 2019, have asked me to move out by the end of January. I’ve been feeling lonely for awhile and they were kinda the one good thing in my life and hanging out with them on a daily basis was what I looked forward to day in and out. So just thinking about living alone and having no regular communication with anyone, like face to face, is really daunting. It feels like what’s the point of continuing, at least right now.

I’m in a bad place, and it all just feels pretty hopeless right now

Since the person suing is under no obligations to pay anything for an unsuccessful suit, I wonder why some activist group hasn't started suing every Texan Republican for intent to aid or abet an abortion

I was 15 when I joined the boards and his kind words to me throughout our interactions here gave me so much confidence that I mattered in this world.

Wow, that was so poignant and beautifully written. Thank you for sharing @timmett
