    Thinking about people who get back with their ex.

    My cynical interpretation: You weren’t happy with what you had. Found your choices “out there” weren’t any better. Now you’ve decided to settle because it’s better than nothing.

    My two cents - I think some people romanticize the relationship after it's ended. Suddenly they're left with all the good memories from the
    relationship. Then they go back and remember why said relationship wasn't good for them. Or they think things will be better. Or they're settling bc he has long arms 😉
    I’d like to hear more about the arms…

    Some ppl just can’t be alone - I’ve seen this happen with my mom - she went back to my dad after like 30 years - and he’s still the same drunk she left all those years ago - hasn’t changed - but I don’t think either want to die alone - and I think they are just comfortable with each other 🤷‍♂️ - 2nd is my ex - she divorced her 2nd husband last year and is currently dating him again- my kids can’t stand the dude but that doesn’t matter - I believe she fits the scenario you listed above to a tee - before she married him she called me crying asking if I’d take her back - that was a hard pass - a month later she married him - ppl be crazy yo - I think I’d rather die alone then ever settle again

    Especially when you’re an interesting person and know how to entertain yourself. It’s just not worth being with people who bring you down

    Word I tell my kids all the time - surround yourself with ppl that bring joy to your life - if they are a buzz kill don’t stress about that friendship and let it go - it took me way too long to figure this out - but no one ever talked to me about it either - so I just like to put the notion in their head now - and hopefully they learn sooner than i did - currently only my middle daughter abides by the philosophy

    Because public planning is all about making everyone's life miserable lol. Will never forget the day where they decided to start all the roadworks on my side of town the same day schools came back from the summer. Everyone was late to my office that day lol

    It's so true like why completely block off every road leading to a parking garage. I suspect they're catching up from locking down for Covid and now are against the gun because of winter but my goodness so dumb

    I don't know where you're from but for me, there's not even much point of doing them now. Literally the moment the roads get icy it's just going to ruin it!

    Exactly! I live in Michigan, not too far from the border, and it's like this happens every year. Why are we scheduling these works for stupid times and then acting all surprised pikachu face when it doesn't last!?

    My personal trailer would probably be something like the film -

    I'm tired. Did my volunteer driving, bought lots at the mall while I waited, had 5 minutes at home then out to get the boy. Put a chicken on to roast and now I need to go back out to the mall. Ugh

    We can't ALL be wrong. Feel better soon 🤗
    ETA: It's the ginger. Ginger tea might actually be better for you (no sugar in it). Yogi brand makes a great ginger tea.

    Thank you, I appreciate it! I'm sure Vernors is fine but I'm English. It's all about Lucozade when you're sick, baby haha. Ginger tea sounds wonderful though!

    Peppermint tea can help too with nausea. I find it very soothing. Hope you feel better.

    I didn't know that, thought it just helped with indigestion. Thanks for the tip!
