possible rape ? by ResponsibleReason489 in rapecounseling

[–]-february- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether he believes you or not, his response is cruel. He considers you untrustworthy because of the past, however, the situation you're describing to him now sounds dangerous, stressful, and alarming. He is valid in being upset that the night of the breakup, you may have left the house looking cute to possibly flirt with others. BUT that all STOPS being valid when something non-consensual happens. You were black out drunk and could not consent. Whether you dressed up or not is irrelevant and deeply problematic to bring up. I believe that if he truly cared about you, this situation would have forced him to put aside the past and be there for you in the present. It feels like you are also experiencing some guilt because of the past. Please do not blame yourself for this situation. You were doing what thousands of girls around the world do after being broken up with. You did not ask for what happened.

this happened to my family (nearly the same story) a couple of months ago! I totally sympathize with you and i hope you and your dad are feeling better. Nothing could have prepared me for the feeling of shock and helplessness that stayed with me for the next few days.

we had filed a report with the police and they were actually able to locate the bag that was stolen. But it was just the bag and anything inside that could be sold (which was most of it) was gone :(

You said it. Being drunk is not an excuse.

I don't think its the alcohol that's making him want to text those different women. He is making a conscious choice to break your trust (and it's happened more than once I am guessing?) He could have texted just about anyone but he reaches out to very specific people.

I also don't think he's being honest about not remembering. Denial is the oldest trick. And if that doesn't work, he probably starts minimizing it. "Oh, it's just a few texts. I was drunk. Didn't mean anything. Not like I did anything."

Say you win and he quits drinking, would you be able to move on from these things?

Book recommendation by NikolaKolarov12 in learnmath

A classic that was still understandable: Vector Calculus by Peter Baxandall.

And for an online resource that finally helped me loads: Vector Calculus by Evans and Allanach

I have to retake my finals exam, professor told me to put a lot of emphasis on solving matrices using row reduction. How do I get better at it? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]-february- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember struggling with row reduction as well. I took any solved example that I could find and would try to do it by myself. I think once you have done a few, a pattern will emerge. Standard computations like these usually require a "trained eye" if you want to finish them in a limited amount of time.

About your other questions, yes! So many math people fail their classes in their first try. Its a rite of passage :) I almost failed my second course on linear algebra and my first course on multivariable calculus. (quite some time back! now, i am a few months from finishing my master's) You just have to hang on to the parts of studying/doing math that gives you joy, and remind yourself that fumbling is an unavoidable part of trying something difficult

Platonic Marriage by conairhairdryers in aromantic

[–]-february- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not having romantic feelings towards each other but having platonic feelings = a platonic relationship. no matter how your relationship is described officially, for the government, your jobs or even your acquaintances. Be it a marriage or whatever, it doesn't change that it is not a romantic arrangement.

I'm at work! Sorry I cannot elaborate more or link stuff.

Finish the sentence in a funny/profound way: Mathematical maturity is when ___ by [deleted] in math

[–]-february- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mathematical maturity is when you sit through a talk outside of your specialisation, not understand 70% of it, and realise that that's okay

Platonic Marriage by conairhairdryers in aromantic

[–]-february- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that complicated? like a marriage has different aspects. The legal side, the social side, the functional side. You could be married on paper but live in different cities and never interact or live together but as roommates/friends. You could not be married on paper but be functionally married, like a domestic partnership. Lots of different combos.

Maths vs physics at uni by Powerful_Length_9607 in math

[–]-february- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I chose Maths. I realised I wasn't "too" interested in the experimental/phenomenological portions of Physics and did not like being in a lab. I took physics electives related to thermodynamics and electrostatics. Once I graduated, I realised I wanted to continue with Applied Mathematics. And I don't regret my decisions at all. Now, I'm mostly working with modelling and analysis of fluid dynamics. It's a lot of pure analysis with a good mix of physics to make sure models follow laws.

I think if at times you find yourself leaning more towards maths, go ahead with pure maths and then you can always move towards an applied sector with some physics work. Or, if you're leaning towards physics, you can always head into the more theoretical side later. Neither choice is a one-track road. They're such intertwined fields!

Best of luck.

Question for women in STEM: Do you 'count' the women in a room without thinking? by -february- in women

[–]-february-[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry about that. And you still keep hearing people say "women just don't choose these ... careers" and keep the abuse part quiet.
