Better to leave them on read and go do something else than to keep trying to think on a snarky comeback reply. It's simply not worth it.

I asked a dude his marital status, he said "separated".

I asked if that meant he was still married, He said "no".

Sick of having to dig for answers like a fucking archaeologist, I resumed cleaning my fridge and throwing out expired condiments.

Lo and behold, he woke the fuck up and sent a 3 sentence answer explaining that he was never married.

Damn girl, I really needed to hear this today. Gotta learn how to let go.

The number of men that typically cry and whine after you leave them on read or leave a well placed “k” after they’ve typed out their toxic, unimportant nonsense, is hilarious.

I don't know if I agree with this. I have worked on being more expressive and telling people how I feel. It has helped me a lot and stopped me from stewing with negative feelings. I don't do it to make men come around, I do it to get it off my chest.

_HEDONISM_BOT · 2019-10-17T19:52:56+00:00

THIS.

I REFUSE to engage negativity, vitriol, and hateful shit from anyone, ESPECIALLY moids. After being an active poster/commenter on FDS, moids started following me and sending me nasty, vicious shit. EAT MY ASS YOU MISERABLE MOIDS!!! You're ALL getting blocked, reported, and deleted.

NEXT!

Okay I’m going to clarify something just in case someone here doesn’t know where to draw the line: If he clearly did something wrong like cheated or purposely embarrassed you in front of his friends/coworkers, say why you are mad then block his ass. But, if say, someone else kissed him or he wore the wrong color shirt to that dinner, I don’t see why you can’t talk it out like adults. Firstly, this type of thing is more influential if he’s used to getting calls and texts. Secondly, it’s abuse if you use it when you know he didn’t intentionally do anything because then it’s withholding affection to create a sense of guilt in him. Do not make your man bitter over petty bullshit. We need all the good men we can get so our girls won’t have to endure the bullshit that some of you have endured. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

My asshole ex has been sending me a message every month for the past 3 months, almost like clockwork. I am so proud of myself for either not opening them, or not responding.

I needed to read this today! Thank you!

4everdoe · 2019-10-18T02:29:40+00:00

I seriously needed to read this right now! Boom.

mizzmilitia · 2019-10-17T22:02:41+00:00

I'm saving this

dirtytowels · 2019-10-17T19:30:29+00:00

Ughhhahhhh no idea how bad I needed to hear this, I’m not gonna do it. At least not today...

throwawayy92838383 · 2019-10-17T18:09:55+00:00

This is actually so important.

themewsingone · 2019-10-17T18:24:03+00:00

This is SO true.

I need to learn this tactic and need someone to surgically implant this into my stubborn, last-word-Leo mindset.

bizzylizzy666 · 2019-10-17T22:31:35+00:00

Yeah I had this crush that I’ve been obsessing over who said he was in an open LDR (of course he wasn’t) she’s coming back in a month and he sent me some half ass text saying he’s been busy the last couple of days and asked how I’ve been and if I wanted to study he’d help. I told him I’d let him know and I felt so good about it. I almost texted him today justifying myself that I do need help. He’s not the answer though. I am sticking to my gut!! Reading this really grounded me. Thanks queen

Air_Show · 2019-10-18T11:23:12+00:00

I didn’t even see the sub title before reading this. It’s solid advice in general.

TheRhythmOfTheKnight · 2019-10-18T12:50:19+00:00

How do you expect to build a relationship if you don't communicate?

Ari_McBeth · 2019-10-23T00:14:37+00:00

You should’ve disabled comments to give him/her the last word

2019-10-26T06:35:52+00:00

This drives men crazy and it’s way more satisfying than trying to have the last word.

They will obsess over what you thought about what they said for awhile. It’s a mindfuck for them.

Phirk · 2019-10-27T11:53:57+00:00

I remember reading a quote on reddit "not everything needs a reaction" general good life advice

ObsidianOrangutan · 2019-10-31T12:35:15+00:00

One trick I found teaching teenagers is that by sitting silently you can get people to confess to all sorts of things. "The dog ate my homework." "..." "okay actually I didn't have time because my aunt was visiting". "..." etc.

flyodpink · 2019-11-06T07:30:51+00:00

A big big heart to this one !

Focusing on silence for power instead of silence for self-tranquility is toxic.
