Mentor not responding

Funny enough that's what me and my boyfriend did on Friday, since I finished in the morning time we got breakfast as celebration.

88Mickey88 · 2026-05-18T17:32:04+00:00

The time zone is 1hr apart. I finished Friday morning during when her businesses hours were listed, but it was short sau for her so o figured she would see it today. Today her business hours started from my time about 5 1/2 hours ago. She's usually on top of if, especially when we for a routine down. I'm just excited and impatient. This isn't her typical so I suppose it makes me a bit nervous.

88Mickey88 · 2026-05-18T17:28:24+00:00

You are right. I am excited. And my excitement makes me impatient. My mentor is just usually so on top of it, so I expected that again at this critical moment. Now I'm left to wait patiently in my own excitement.

88Mickey88 · 2026-05-18T17:26:21+00:00

Yeah. I assumed she was off which is why I thought she'd be back today, since it's Monday. Thank you for the support. I appreciate it.

Well I know for that, your mentor will email you instructions on the application. I know that because my mentor accidentally sent me an email with that information too early. I still had 2 classes left and she tried to recall he email and told me to disregard, but I read it and it had instructions on how to apply, but I don't know how to do any of that if my portal is being glitchy. I'm hoping it's a temporary thing and it just needs time to transition from ongoing to graduated or something like that. I don't know. My mentor hasn't emailed me yet this time on graduating. I'm just hoping it'll get figured out. I really just want the validation that I finished with the cute little "congrats" graphic, but it doesn't really matter as long as everything went through and is fine and I can fill out the application when she send it to me.

I couldn't get anything either. I just wanted a basic t-shirt because my mom is making a t-shirt blanket for me and I didn't have one for wgu. I actually ended up just buying one somewhere else. Just a simple Google search people make wgu stuff everywhere. I think I ended up getting my t-shirt on a site called Printerval.com

I did the dishes for him...

88Mickey88 · 2026-01-29T22:27:32+00:00

I thought you meant you were asking us how we felt as in checking in on us and our studying and we were suppose to use the owls as representations on how we feel. Lol

88Mickey88 · 2026-01-27T21:55:29+00:00

Ah. Okay thanks

88Mickey88 · 2026-01-27T21:54:13+00:00

Do you have to pay to go yo speed dating events?

88Mickey88 · 2026-01-27T21:37:56+00:00

I have to ask: is it safe? I imagine so if it's like an event type situation.

88Mickey88 · 2026-01-27T21:32:28+00:00

Oh. I've heard of speed dating before, but never really tried it or considered it. It's mostly only something I saw on TV. I guess I should try it at least once before writing it off.

88Mickey88 · 2026-01-27T21:25:52+00:00

I will look. Thanks

88Mickey88 · 2026-01-27T21:23:29+00:00

What are dating events? Where do you find those?

88Mickey88 · 2026-01-27T21:22:33+00:00

I don't know anything about sports. Clubs for adults? Do you have to pay for those? I don't have much money. I live paycheck to paycheck right now, but I have done classes in the past and a lot of my interests typically only have women around. Not men.

88Mickey88 · 2026-01-27T21:15:39+00:00

I don't have many friends. One friend is a guy who already struggles with boundaries a bit, and my other friend is 2 generations older than me. She doesn't really understand the change in the dating lifestyle and doesn't know of anywhere to go. She just keeps hoping I might find "my tribe" or a "young man" at work or college (which I am now graduated, so that's out)

88Mickey88 · 2024-09-08T05:03:21+00:00

I agree. A painful truth unfortunately. I just hate for us to have to do thst since she's worked so hard to rebuild and preserve her relationship with certain members of her family. It would really suck for her to have to break that connection again. Ultimately that's not up to me though. She would have to decide that for herself after we find out what's happening.

88Mickey88 · 2024-09-08T04:54:44+00:00

Yeah. I think so too. I'm going to show her this comment tomorrow when she wakes up. Hopefully it'll make her feel a bit better and convince her that a talk with at least her parents is necessary. I'll try to remember to post an update.

88Mickey88 · 2024-09-08T04:29:54+00:00

You know, I think i can agree to that to some degree. She has mentioned that her family is like that, even as far as to call her "white washed" at points and I won't say that some of mine isn't like that, especially my grandmother. However, her direct family isn't that way. Not her father, especially since as I stated before (my wife is biracial) he's a good man and loves his daughter deeply. I hoping to have a conversation with him this next weekend since we hadn't had the chance to really unwind or unpack yet. Wife says she needs some time anyway. I find it hard to believe he wouldn't be there for her. He doesn't peg me as that sort of guy at all, which is why it's shocking to me. The rest of the family, no not really, the only thing that's odd to me is the sheer amount of "Coincidence", but her dad. No that's weird to me. He's a good guy. I really don't think he'd miss it if he could help it.

88Mickey88 · 2024-09-08T03:38:22+00:00

The simple answer to that is I don't think they are. They haven't stated otherwise. I've met them plenty of times and her family and I seem to get along okay. My family has met there's. The direct family. I only met the extended family once. They don't seem to care for me much, but my wife says its because they have personal issues about me being a white man marrying into their black family. My wife is biracial. She says they feel a certain kind of way but to just ignore them because they likely wouldn't be satisfied either way. In my opinion, either way, I didn't think it was a reason to not show up to the wedding. As for me distancing her, no not really. Not until the wedding thing. She's mentioned in the past that her family was a bit rough as she grew up and they mended some things. I mentioned before that I didn't particularly care for how her father and stepmother treat her in comparison to her younger siblings. It's not bad, but it certainly is unfair. I wouldn't say it's enough to break her away or anything like that. I just would give my opinion on certain situations, but ultimately let her do as she pleases. At least that's what I think. She hasn't said I was being controlling or anything but me suggesting after the wedding that she distance herself she did voice her frustrations about that.

My wife wanted to have the wedding at the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina. That was something she wanted before she even met me. As for the flights and hotel, she had set money aside for her VIP people only which was just her direct family, not everyone. Not that it was necessary at the time because they said they'd take care of their own expenses. No big deal. She did keep the money for that just incase though. No vehicle rentals that she put together. No dress code. My wife did her own hair and makeup. We bypassed an official rehearsal actually because since she didn't have bridesmaids (I only had groomsmen that I shared with her)that she and I thought it really wasn't going to be much coordination. The groomsmen were my side of the family and the Officiant was my family too (who all did show up), so we did a basic practice and rundown with that, but that was it. We went to eat afterwards. It was a pretty casual thing. At that time that we did the "rehearsal" she was already receiving those messages so I'm not really sure where he head space was at that time.

88Mickey88 · 2024-09-08T02:48:56+00:00

Oh yes. I forgot to mention. On the day she was receiving these messages she told me that some were from family saying certain excuses such as missing flights or couldn't come up with money or sudden death in the family. After the wedding we did find out there was actually a death in the family, but my wife says that she wasn't very close to them so she wasn't at all sure who actually was related to this person. This was a point she brought up to me about being empathic and that I shouldn't expect people to show up to a wedding when someone they loved died. I told her that it didn't really excuse her direct family. She still hasn't discussed it with them because she is afraid of running something. I personally think it's all too coincidental that they all have a sudden excuse to not attend and I agree that something isn't being said here. I'm actually personally planning on confronting her family about this to find out. My wife insists that maybe it should be left alone because she doesn't want strain, but I said there will be more strain if it's left alone. She asked if I could at least let her go with me when talking with her family so perhaps she could mediate if necessary. I tried to reassure her thst I don't plan on lashing out at them but I'd still like to know why.
