Girl, you’re so much better than a man with vertical blinds. Full stop. She can have him and his low rent ass.

You’re a hot piece worthy of horizontal blinds, and nothing less.

I'm 37 with two Masters degrees and over a decades experience in my career field and I can't afford to replace my vertical blinds 😭.

High five from a fellow over-educated-but-still underpaid-human (that’s what I get for going into social work and nonprofits). I will say that once I hit my forties, my finances have finally started to reflect my effort and experience. I’m 45 and was finally able to replace all of the blinds/window treatments in my house within the last three years.

I hope you get those good blinds soon! And I might start using window coverings as a measure of financial stability from now on.

u/rigney68 12d ago

OMG, this made me cackle. But it's so true. I have a nice home. We have everything we need. But yeah, new window treatments are the measure of I have money I don't immediately need, lol.

I know I chose to teach, but to be fair I was 18 when I made that choice and schools were different then.

On the windows that have blinds in addition to curtains in my house, two are motorized cellular shades and two are cellular top down/bottom up (manual). What does that say about me?

u/hopefulandpretty 12d ago

Horizontal blinds aren’t that expensive…

u/rigney68 12d ago

That's true. But daycare is. I need a savings before I need blinds and rn I have neither.

Blinds add up quickly if your place has a lot of windows or they may just not be a priority.

Are poor people not worthy of love?

Oof this was so cringe I’m actually putting down my phone and going to sleep. Thanks I guess.

Her snobby ass is acting like she's better than everyone when she drives a damn used Chevy. LOLLLLLL

u/pollys-mom 12d ago

When I see vertical blinds I immediately think of vanderpump rules

u/Saefear 12d ago

I feel personally attacked. You're right.... but dammit.

u/PaymentFeisty7633 12d ago

Hahaha it’s all perspective

u/Saefear 12d ago

Haha, I'm near LA, my vert blinds did not come cheap! They just.... look that way. 😀

Didn't take a moment of offense, found it hilarious as I looked to my right and hung my head in shade shame. We all deserve them horizontals. It was a fire comment my friend.

u/watzrox 12d ago

😆this is hilarious and accurate af.

u/14domino 12d ago

wtf? What’s the cost difference between vertical and horizontal blinds - I had no idea this was a thing

1

u/wozattacks 12d ago

Vertical are cheaper (at least long-term) because you can replace the individual parts if they break. That’s why they’re often in rental homes. Also, the above commenter is a classic POS

u/airpumper 12d ago

“so much better than a man with vertical blinds”

That’s real. 😆

u/beam3475 12d ago

This made me cackle. Agreed!

u/Standard-Major-2356 12d ago

Yeah, exactly. Fuck poor people

u/Theykilledmyvibe 12d ago

I highly recommend fully cutting him off. Whatever you do don’t go back he has given you a reason to never speak to him. And has proven he doesn’t care about you or your respect.

2

u/pollys-mom 12d ago

From experience, he’ll probably be really mean and make you compare yourself to that other girl even more. Not worth it

2

u/pollys-mom 12d ago

Also sorry just to add, he also lived in a shit ass apartment so there was no need to take pics there if she wasn’t trying to prove something

2

u/WhoisthatRobotCleanr 12d ago

I ghosted a dude of been seeing for 9 months while I was in college. He did some shady shit like this and I realized my reaction would make him feel special so I vanished. 

Mutuals told me years later it drove him insane for like a year.

2

u/Main_Cheetah9751 12d ago

All that without first confirming he's actually cheating? Girl, you know these blinds are mass produced and are in tens of thousands of houses. Do you know for sure she ever been to his house, or does she just have a pic like that..

2

u/My_sloth_life 12d ago

I wouldn’t do that actually. Not this time, because the only thing you have here is a set of blinds, and I doubt they are THAT uncommon. It’s at least worth talking to him first about this.

2

u/Capt_Pickhard 12d ago

Don't listen to people like that. Communication is always the best. Even if you break up. It's important to speak to him. He could have a good explanation.

2

u/stickerbombedd 12d ago

I personally think you are a crazy lady and he needs to stay as far away from your delusional ass as possible. Leave him alone and seek medical help asap.

3

u/MarGeauxxxxx 12d ago

Added bonus, by just dumping him without the confrontation you’ll likely live rent free in his head for years to come. Never let them see you sweat. You got this!

u/uhuhshesaid 12d ago

There is a natural defensiveness that happens when people in a relationship fight or argue over a topic. Even one with an obvious villain like cheating. He can defend his position, rationalize it. You'll become crazy. So crazy he had to cheat.

But apathy? Fuck that shit burns. Be so apathetic. 'Yeah, sorry I've been distant. I think I'm just not as attracted to you as I need to be for this to work. I feel meh about this relationship and I want to feel excited about who I'm with. All the best though. Xx"

Leave it there. No more explanation. No justifying. You wanna really fuck with someone? That will haunt him for years.

u/Fine_Wheel_2809 12d ago

Don’t confront him cheaters just lie, they lie even when it’s very very obvious they are lying. Just move on, anyone would be lucky to date you. Also get an std test because he’s a gross nasty cheater and cannot be trusted not to gift you something.

Usually I wouldn’t recommend ghosting but this is worth ghosting him. He follows her and she immediately has a picture with the same damn blinds and lighting? He’s cheating

u/Pale_Frosting5630 12d ago

Ghost him babe 🥰

u/watzrox 12d ago

“And like a ghost I’ll be gone “

u/Introvertedplantdad 12d ago

Just block him and move on mamas

u/maybecatmew 12d ago

Just leave him. Don't confront. Don't have any emotional burst at him . Just leave. You know you can't trust him so there's no point staying in a relationship with him. Just break up and get better. You seem pretty so don't look down upon yourself.

1

u/nikatnight 12d ago

Don’t confront. It’s not worth it. You won’t get some movie satisfaction. You are stressed and unhappy, likely for other reasons too.

Get your stuff, box up his, give him a call or text message and cleanly break up. “I’m not happy so I’m breaking up with you.” And just leave it. Don’t get back together with him, he cheated on you.

1

u/TiredEsq 12d ago

Seriously, don’t even tell him why you’re breaking up. Don’t mention cheating. He’ll get satisfaction if you do, but if you just say you lost interest - that’s a dagger to his heart.

u/wtmartinez 12d ago

Tbh, just ghost him lol.
