MakingMyFuture on a thread about asking for what you want when dating and the rejection that may follow.
...It's ok to ask for what you want. Hopefully the people who don't want what you want will run away. The faster the better to make room for someone who is a good fit

Thank you Adlham for:
Shazam, motherfucker!
No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Sure, I could have cleaned the kitchen last night once DS was asleep, made muffins ahead of time for breakfast, or started laundry, scrubbed the tub, dusted, etc... Instead I said to hell with it, poured a glass of wine, munched on dry Fruit Loops, and watched a movie.

Truthsetmefree beating me at my own game in off topic
Well, I hate to put a bee in your bonnet, nvt...but a little birdie told me, that will all this raining like cats and dogs, that the little rascal has has been holed up, happy as a clam, snug as a bug in a rug and drunk as a skunk. Evidently that little guy drinks like a fish. I told the little birdie that that all sounded like a bunch of horse feathers - but he said it got it straight from the horse's mouth. So might as well just hold your horses - no sense going on a wild goose chase and running around like a chicken with your head cut off - as I doubt you'll ever get him to actually pony up (maybe when pigs fly!)... and you'll probably end up having to take him to kangaroo court - or else wait until the cows come home. So sorry to put this fly in your ointment...what a fine kettle of fish this is!

...this cyclical thinking will drive you insane. "We're good! "We're over!" "We're good!" It suggests that how the relationship functions determines how you feel about life. The way to combat it is by taking the focus off of your relationship being the focus of your life and instead make your relationship with you the focus of your life.

If someone crumpled a $100 bill and threw it in the trash, would it mean the bill is worthless? Or would it mean that the person who threw it away was an idiot?
