I used to pretend to use my ex’s toothbrush, she hated it. Never really thought much about it just was trying to have a bit of fun.
Some customers and I were talking at the bar the other night and this topic came up based on a movie. I was surprised to find out most people thought if you’re together they had never the issue with this.
The employee that was working that night explained it perfectly. We used to share many body parts and you’re worried about me using your toothbrush.
I couldn’t agree more.
I was talking to a customer about her tattoo. It was a script that said ‘let them’ and she explained about this ‘let them’ theory.
I did research the next day and found out it was a cool philosophy so to speak. To summarize you can’t control other people let them be who they’re going to be. It shouldn’t affect you and you don’t need to waste your energy worrying about it.
This one was posted originally by Cassie Phillips:
If they are okay with never seeing you, LET THEM. If they are okay with always putting themselves first, LET THEM. If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceived them to be, LET THEM. If they want to follow the crowd, LET THEM.
That should give you the idea. Apply it in your life where you see fit. It has done wonders for me. With the let them philosophy people will always show you their true colors.
In a relationship communication is key. The problem is a lot of people communicate in different ways. I learned it’s important to figure that part out early.
My ex’s communication style was probably the worst one for me. She would bottle everything up and explode with a rant why she was unhappy for 10 to 20 minutes.
I need time to think about my responses. I do like to fix things. I think if we would have taken things one step at a time it would have made a big difference.
At least I learned for my next relationship/partnership, I’ll make sure that this issue will not destroy everything.
To me those vows are very important. For better or for worse and in sickness and in health. It’s a foundation of a relationship that is supposed to last forever.
I promise you nobody’s perfect. I did make mistakes. But there was many times where I was questioning my relationship.
I never gave up on my wife. My ex gave up on me sadly.
I wasn’t happy with the decision. Now I’m looking forward to find a new partner that believes the same as I do.
I’ve always had week lungs. When I get sick it always ends up with a couple weeks of coughing/congestion and then clearing out.
About 2 years ago, my son and I were outside fixing a couple things on the house and I felt kind of the same way. It was cold so I figured shortness of breath was not that big a deal.
It seemed to get a little better. But then later in the year I would pass out for a few moments now and again. People thought it was falling asleep.
My daughter came home from college and noticed something was wrong. I ended up going to the emergency room and was put in ICU. I was told my lung function was down below 30%.
I went to the gym today. First time since before I got engaged. It was really satisfying.
Really happy about speeding up my recovery. Can’t believe only four or so months ago I was in a wheelchair to get around.
