How did you deal with that? What did you do to make yourself feel better and move past it quickly? I'm going through it right now. A bit of context, I was with this guy for 2 years and a half, and to put it shortly it was a very intense relationship. I ended things with him as he is now living on a different continent and things just weren't working as the relationship was already in a broken state before that. 2 years forward , we had been keeping in touch and talked almost every week, and even though we agreed both of us will move on with their lives, none of us have actually dated anyone else for these 2 years. I though that I was moving on. Then towards the end of last year he confessed he had been seeing a guy for like 3 weeks and he got very into him but it ended out badly, he felt hurt and wanted to open up to somebody - that being me. At first I didn't think much of it but this actually shook me and my feelings for the guy reignated - or perhaps they never left. I confessed to him, he said he was confused, I ended up flying to the other side of the world in February and we spent 2 weeks together, but the magic was gone and even though I was madly in love still, he didn't feel the same and told me we cannot be together anymore. Needless to say I was extremely heart-broken, and after I came back I decided to cut contact with him entirely in order to move on with my life as well. We haven't talked since. It's been a rough few months for me but I've finally started feeling better come summer. Last month however I saw him post a picture from a music festival and he was with a guy - I assumed just somebody he went there with maybe hooked up whatever, I shook it off. I unfollowed him so I wouldn't see more. But this morning instagram decided to pop up a post from the other's guy profile on my explore page in which they are together in vacation and there's even a pic of them kissing. I'm just feeling extremely heartbroken again, especially since he would never do that with me as since he was in the closet. Honestly I'm still so in love with this guy even though I tried to distance myself from everything and it's been years at this point. TL;TR: Still in love with my ex boyfriend I broke up with more than 2 years ago and feel terrible seeing he is with someone new. I know I'll feel better tomorrow and eventually it'll get better with time but right now I'm really down and just wanted to vent and take it out of my chest, and maybe read similar experiences from other people and how you've moved on past it.

I feel like like 2022 and 2012 are much closer and less longer than 2002 and 2012.

Title, i am wondering if there is anyone in this predicament, I feel like life can get hard at times.

A lot of my generation(Late Millennial/Early Gen Z) see 2016 as the Golden Year where everything was perfect for us Is 2016 the best or is it overrated? Discuss

I just don't think it's possible

Created by the Emmy®-winning writer from “Schitt’s Creek,” this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & Juliet asks: what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way. Opening to critical acclaim in London's West End in 2019, the show was nominated for nine Laurence Olivier Awards in 2020, including Best New Musical. Three of its performers — Miriam-Teak Lee, Cassidy Janson and David Bedella — won Oliviers for their performances of Juliet, Anne and Lance, respectively. It also received a record-breaking thirteen nominations at the 2020 WhatsOnStage Awards, winning six, including Best Actress in a Musical for Lee. Trailer: **** I've seen this musical 4 times in Toronto at the Mirvish Theatre I'm still as obsessed as ever. They end their run here on August 14. Initially, the shows were doing okay, but word-of-mouth caught on and their last few shows have been sold out. It's been difficult to find tickets. For those going to see this on Broadway, I suggest going in blindly and being delightfully surprised by the story and the playlist. It's a very, very fun musical and the people coming out of the theatre after each show have been passionate about their response. I might plan to fly to New York to see it again.

This idea that they have the right to speak for everyone, get offended on everyones behalf, and seem to think they know what’s best for everyone. You even see it on Atrl. And it’s not just one group, class or race. It’s all of them.

There is debate over this.

Which one do you prefer to go to on the weekend and why?

I have a friend who is negative about everything or makes up excuses for plausible/realistic solutions. He complains that his mom is in his business/is annoying. At first, I'm sympathetic, but as he keeps bringing this up, I ask him, "Have you ever thought about moving out?" "I'm saving to buy a house." "I can't leave my mom." "It's too expensive." All are his excuses. He's shared how much he has in savings-- he absolutely can afford to leave. He complains that where we live isn't trans-friendly. Being cis, I try to be sympathetic, and then I ask him, "Have you thought about moving to a more LGBTQ+ accepting neighborhood?" "Have you thought about working at a more LGBTQ+ accepting workplace?" My friend says the jobs I recommended were too far (he doesn't drive/have a license), it's too expensive to live in the more queer-accepting neighborhoods, etc. I then ask if he's thought about driving/getting his license, although, he'll find every excuse: "My mom (and/or dad) doesn't take me driving enough." "I'm getting operated soon." "After I get operated." And I really only posed getting a car as an alternative because he'll complain about having to get up early for the bus or about having to Uber home. Then every conversation, he'll tell me about how some trans person in X state can't get the proper healthcare, how much he hates the U.S. When I suggest hanging out, almost always something comes up-- his binder is making him uncomfortable, his mom needed him for something, etc. My friend suffers from PTSD, has attempted in the past, so not sure if this has anything to do with it. He also transitioned (FTM) pretty late, so it could also have something to do with it. The straw that broke the camel's back for me is when my friend sent me a paragraph about how I was hurting him for just suggesting if he wants bottom surgery that badly (he's having top surgery soon), that I know surgeons in our area that perform it, and I even asked if going overseas or even if going out-of-state was an option. He was like, "I want it. But it has complications. The success rates are low. I find it hurtful you keep bringing it up." I just don't know how to win with this person. Our last phone conversation, I was frankly so miserable hearing for the 50th time how he can't vape/use THC/drink before his surgery, how some stranger in Texas can't get the proper healthcare, or how his mom is driving him nuts. I get that being trans is something I'll never understand and it's not easy, and I fortunately don't have PTSD, but I'd think you need to change something-- whether it's your perspective, location, etc. How can someone live like this? I think it doesn't help he basically has no other friends, and when I had him meet one of my other queer friends, he was like, "Yeah. Your friend is too much of a negative Nancy to hang out with." And this wasn't even inspired by anything I told my other friend. Thoughts?
