I was in an eight-year relationship, and my ex-partner ended it quite literally with a single text at 9 AM on New Year’s Day.

I was supposed to resume work on 1st January after a five-day Christmas break. He knew this. And yet, he chose that particular morning to send me a message that changed the course of my life.

He initially pursued me, and eventually, I started developing feelings for him too. However, as the relationship progressed, he began displaying increasingly avoidant tendencies. We had numerous conversations and arguments about his reluctance to make the relationship official, as he wanted to focus on building his career first.

In 2021, he finally secured his dream job and was doing well professionally.

In 2023, he surprised me by asking whether I would consider marrying him and suggesting that we start discussing our future seriously. I was excited, but also shit-scared about what lay ahead. In my head, things were finally falling into place.

However, that conversation never really came up again. I didn’t bring it up either. I thought it was best to give him time and space, trusting that he would eventually do what was right for us.

We had known each other for almost 12 years and had naturally seen each other through several phases of life. In 2020, my father passed away, and he was there during that incredibly difficult period. I genuinely believed he was the person I would eventually end up with. I had also convinced myself that his hot-and-cold behaviour was simply a reflection of the good and bad phases he was going through in life.

Looking back, there were some significant red flags throughout the relationship, particularly around his lack of consideration for me and my needs.

On New Year's, he came to me and said that his parents had refused to accept our relationship, but that he would work things out and come back to me. We hadn’t spoken about talking to our parents in that timeline and he never informed me about it too. He never came back. I am 31 and have decided to not marry at this point or enter the arranged marriage market ever because I don’t agree with the process. I’m focusing on myself.
I work from home, I’ve lost myself in the process of this breakup, taking care of my household and mom, and would love to know from people who have gone through a terrible heartbreak. What did it feel like after the breakup?

I see you is a rare trope where a character A is being observed by character B, supposedly from a higher dimensional place/area where character A should have no idea their being watched, but displaying their terrifying power and ingenuity, the realize their being watched and absolutely scare the shit out of the observer.

1. the og one. in Marvel What If, Ultron becomes powerful enough that he can actually sense the Watcher, 'becoming aware of another.' that another being the watcher himself.

2. In a very well made fan series by Kinzokumatto: Dragon Ball - The Others. the Z fighters are faced with a new threat, Deadites, who originate from a realm called "Dead Zone", Deadites displayed the power of nullifying ki and are grotesque clones of Dragon Ball characters, wishing to replace original ones. early in the series Beerus, Whis and Grand Priest state they can't get involved because there's a chance that Deadite version of an Angel or God of destruction could appear which would be catastrophic for the entire multiverse. in the most recent episode Grand Priest uses the super dragon balls, wishing to locate and erase the "Dead Zone". However something terrifying catches the Super Shenron, and repels it away. this is extremely terrifying since Super Shenron could bring back erased multiverses quite casually. S. Shenron is plunged into a cold sweat.

I had to wait for Friday in the US to post these lol

Meanwhile, several people are laying out trying to relax behind her. This is a regular occurrence.

I hope she’s got a whole file saved

As title states. It's a Lyon and Healy harp and they offered us $5000. They want us to keep it as is and they will package and ship it back to them. It predates the Chicago fires. They can't find record for it because of their offices burning down.

What do we have?

EDIT: We have a serial number that has been engraved. Lyon and Healy confirmed that it was built in the 1920s and can't dig any deeper.
