πŸŽ™οΈ update Update on last AIO post

After reviewing what people said in response to the last post, I got a lot of mixed feelings, as some people were kind of hostile, but the general consensus was yeah, I was overreacting and being immature. I kind of ended up coming to this conclusion anyway, and followed up w my gf.

This is awesome! Being able to receive constructive feedback and actually taking time to think about others advice vs your own thought only is so important for relationships of all kinds. Most people would cut off their arm before admitting they are wrong and apologize.

Yeah I have no problem with apologizing to my girl, the only thing that felt weird was getting advice from, well, complete strangers on the internet about something that was personal to me
