Who dat not standing in a sunbeam or in front of pink velvet curtains (not those you vile minded beasts) #nofilters # nodibdabs
The previous ones were all replies which is fair enough but it’s bizarre. I thought we were being weird by counting the days!
One thing I’m angry with Jack about is that this bloody jumper has forced me to reckon with the fact that my beloved baggy grey shapeless jumpers might not look as good on me as I was telling myself.
I’m very suspicious about that - she said that to make the ex look bad - “oh boohoo, she was awful, she didn’t understand.” I call bullshit, that was her excuse to leave and make it look like it was the ex’s fault. Narc again….
Screw that they should have a column called funky sex positions of the ancient world, ( they had cheese graters, don't ya know)
I agree.
I know I bang on about this on other threads, so sorry to anyone who’s seen this screed elsewhere, but I really think true enlightenment and maturity* lies in being able to accept that usually the person isn’t a narc. Isn’t toxic. It isn’t “their loss”. Sometimes it IS you, not them (at least in their eyes). People change their minds and break promises. And pretending otherwise is bullshit toxic positivity.
*Let the record show I’m 37, and it has taken me all my adulthood, and therapy, and time to reflect on a breakup at the start of lockdown to finally “get” this. And I still struggle with it. But I do find peace in being able to accept it and not villainise the other person endlessly.
PS my phone says villainise isn’t a word, I don’t accept that! My phone is toxic

Jack fan fiction you say?
I don't even think there was a single precipitating event - more like the slowly-simmering-frog effect. The escalating drama, the can-rattling, the fawning over blue ticks whilst ignoring the hoi polloi. It just all started to seem very performative and dodgy.
I was thinking if OH is in recovery and Jack isn’t really following it (not completely alcohol free beer) that would be a very valid reason for ending it. One which she isn’t likely to share.
I mean in a way, all Jack's stories about herself are fan fiction
12 steps? Completed pal.
I'd hate to think a recovering adictt would goad another addict. People turn up to meetings pissed that have been doing well . All accepted.
Maybe it's changed.
Proof that doing the 12 steps doesn't mean you are not an odious individual. It doesn't fix personality. It seldom fixes addiction. People and society unfortunately are more complex than that.

I posted before your explanation
Today I remembered that Jack facetuned the sky. 10/10 would remember again.
Evening all. Do we know if she’s still working on the Voluminous Bubbly Indicator (or not) any more? 
I agree about the SDA. If he follows her that closely (posting multiple congrats on her sobriety over the last year) then he must have seen the Tinder chaos, followed by her silence today.
It's extremely suspect and potentially quite harmful that he posted about her 1 year of sobriety that early in the morning. Almost gloating...?

Quoting myself like a twit but thanks to this thread I found Miguel Barclay and Joe Lycett

The con merchant of Venice?
The Allegra and Jack relationship always had a really weird vibe. Like Jack was a bright toddler, and Allegra was an indulgent parent.
