Sounds like you’re in the early stages of dating and he’s pulling away. Are you questioning if it has anything to do with you?

We are just friends. Early stages of friendship. He is in a relationship. I am part of the stress because he said he was stressed about the friendship. When I say friendship, no, nothing sexual. I was debating if it was even worth having if he was going to be stressed.

Why is he stressed about your friendship? Is it affecting his relationship with his girlfriend?

You wrote a forum about him so that tells me you care about him deeply. I don’t know. Just be careful with your heart.

Putting together a registry for a housewarming party is pretty ridiculous. Whether you rent or own.

I feel like unless you are having a baby, those fuckers are pricey af, any other registry is real goofy. Especially wedding registry’s. Like congrats you now have another person to help you pay bills. You really need all your single friends and elderly relatives on fixed income to buy you expensive bakeware? Fuck off.

Didn't even know such a registry existed. Thought the fun of moving out was progressing from crappy paper dishes to target ceramic dishware sets. 🤔

I’ve (32) known my best friend/childhood (31/Leo) for 16 years. Things have been off for between us for months.

1. I moved this summer my very first place ever - an apartment in the city. I moved a few hours away from home to a major city where all of us (my girlfriends and I) are currently living. In October I said I was going to have a housewarming. Instead of having people come over I decided to make reservations at a restaurant for brunch as kind of a celebration. I didn’t get anything at the brunch from my best friend but I didn’t say anything at that time. Another month goes by and still nothing, not even a card, so I was pretty hurt, especially because I made a registry so it’s not like this was some surprise to her. So, I finally decide to invite her to dinner so that we could talk.

I told her that I had been upset because she didn’t get a gift or even a card congratulating me on apartment. She asked if I was upset with our other friends because they didn’t get her a gift either. I told her I wasn’t upset with the others, only her because she’s known me the longest. She said that she didn’t care about things like this, but wanted to point out to me that I didn’t get her a housewarming gift either. I told her we (friend group) got her a combo gift for her birthday. She said, again, it’s not that I care about gifts but ask yourself are you holding yourself to the same standard as others and then pointed out how I didn’t didn’t a gift for the other girls when they got promotions, moved, etc. We had an event to go to in a few weeks, so, I guess she wanted to smooth things over and she got me a gift. We moved on from it, or so I thought.

2. Last Monday she sent a group texting trying to organize a gift for our mutual good friend’s upcoming birthday (we always do group gifts). She introduced me to these group of friends 10 years ago so we are all very very close. The birthday girl is also the other friend who didn’t get me a housewarming gift that I was referring to in part 1. Anywho, she sent a text saying she was thinking of having a masseuse come to our mutual friend’s house and asked we were okay with $ 30 a piece. One friend had something really bad happen to her so she said that she couldn’t. I replied and said no.

She called and asked me what I meant by no. She asked was it too much, didn’t want to do it, had another gift in mind? I was honest and told her that I wanted to focus on myself financially and wasn’t doing any gifts. So, she then said well maybe we should stop doing gifts altogether. I told her that I wouldn’t be offended if we did that. She then asked me where I got my massage (posted it on IG earlier l) and how much was it because she wanted to get one myself. I told her it was off some road and I had a voucher so I didn’t pay. This really rubbed me the wrong way as if she was trying to check on the money I was spending since I told her no to the birthday gift. Then she asked how my Christmas was and I asked about her NYE plans and then we got off the phone. She texted me later and asked for the name of the spa so she could book it. I didn’t respond. That entire exchange really offended me.

Two days later I got a text asking if I was okay. I told her was just going through a spiritual cleanse and reflecting right now but I was okay. She told me that she was glad that I was okay because she thought I was upset with her since I didn’t respond to her text. Then she sent a follow up text asking if we were okay though. I said she just didn’t have the energy to respond the other day to her asking for the name of the spa.She didn’t respond.

It’s not about the gift but what it represents - showing support. I feel like she wasn’t being supportive. I made a registry, so clearly this was important to me as it was a big milestone in my life, so why would she disregard that? She managed to get a housewarming gift for our friend (the birthday girl in the OP) when she bought her house. So, why not me? Like I said, not even a card to acknowledge this milestone?

Plus, when I had first moved in I was carrying in a case of water with a bag of eggs as well. She didn’t help me and I broke some of my eggs. I told her about this as well and let her know if it was some random person on the street she would’ve helped them but I needed to let her know. So, she just seems selfish - typical Leo I guess?

Both she and the friendship with her just seems so exhausting, especially at our age. I’m thinking of cutting her off but I don’t know if I’m just being reactionary. On the other hand, I have known her for so long.

My fellow Pisces, should I end the friendship?

We have talked we agree we get along well and there is attraction. I believe the guilt is coming from that. I do care about him and as far as I know it hasn’t, but I also don’t want it to.

Well if he’s feeling guilty about it, then maybe him pulling away is his way to respect his relationship with his gf. Honestly that’s admirable. Even tho it’s not good for your friendship… but his gf is his priority. Good luck! Hope it all works out!

Everyone saying force feed them 🥴 I’m imagining trying this with my brother and it would not go down well. He eats super clean, intermittent fasting.

I never said force feed… who said that? I don’t remember reading that 👀.

But, I definitely shared anecdotes from all the Taurus I know, just as you are doing now. We all share what we know and have experienced.

Although I will admit, a good 20% are actually very picky about food… having to eat really clean, sensitive stomach. They still strongly react to their food though, in a way that stands out to me compared to others of other sun signs🤔🤔

He was never the fat kid either, that was me 😊 came out the womb with a double chin.

Best I could do is offer to join him on his long walks but even that is a toss up depending on his mood. Dude loves his solitude!

Awwww, fat babies are the cutest though!!! They are the best to hold and have on you. I absolutely LOOOOVE fat babies!!! I’m sure you were adorable.

Yeah, the two that I dated (and other romantic connection) were also slender. Tall and slender.

I wasn’t insinuating that loud reaction and excitement to food equated they are fat. But I’m starting to wonder if that is how it is being taken 🤔🤔.

It's simple really. Majority of people in Afghanistan, at least when Bush was president, didn't have the ability to record it. Nor did social media exist. Also Bush made it clear it was to search for "Weapons of mass destruction" so there was a cover up. Even though the weapons didn't exist, at least we found oil! Who would have thought? Never mind if many other terrorists organizations developed because we kill their families, and they had nothing else to live for. The sheep of America had the ability to fuel up and go back to work. No questions asked.

Funny how that works so easily for us.

After reading every in this thread so far, I give Biden a solid 3 out of 10. The democrats could have changed my thoughts, but think its pointless to even speak on the subject. Basically the only defense even the best Biden supports in this thread have were "He is the best president in the last few decades because he isn't capable of doing anything, and isn't serious."

Its actually kind of sad if you think about it. Some of these people are only happy because Biden can't really change much, or accomplish anything. They sound like they lived in fear the last few decades because of "scary" presidents. I give Trump a solid 4 out of 10 simply because he actually has real supports. When your own voters don't even really support you, or even how how to defend you, there is a real deep rooted problem.

Saddest part is people are happy he's not the Donald. It's like being punched in the face and saying at least I wasn't raped.

Exactly. Its so sad that something slightly better then the worst is worth supporting, or even worse, blindly following. Our whole political system over here is wrong in every way. I hate how it revolves around who can spend the most money campaigning. Meanwhile they throw in smaller politicians like the libertarian party as a joke so people like myself can "feel" like we have a say in the matter. There is no point voting at all, because voting for a 3rd party amounts to basically a free vote for a democratic or republican. Why even have other party's if it's going to be a democrat or republican 100% of the time because of political money? They they will rally people together due to more campaigning, make promises they cant keep, and pretend if they throw enough money at a problem it will magically fix it. The world doesn't work that way imo.

Pretty much the same in the UK, been a two horse race for the last three elections at least. No independent parties have much of a chance, because it is pay to play. If they do they usually get something dragged up in the news from years ago, like say if someone had a criminal record as a teenager.
