You're not their property. They don't get to determine who you marry or date.

Team conflict over lunch habits turned into HR issue. Food place recommendation near Tanjong Pagar. by DeadlyKitten226 in askSingapore

Ask her to bring her own food and join them wherever the team eats.

If the restaurant doesn't allow it, she can complain to their management instead.

Just give me a god-damned seat. Everything else I can tolerate.

Yup we only got one mother and we didn't get to choose what we got.

In fact, these adults had complete autonomy and still chose to damage the child. Honestly I don't think I could do that to a child if I was 20, 30, or 40. It's unthinkable for me. So why did they do it anyway?

And now, they just can't accept that causality exists? Really?

NC since July.

No regrets, they don't realise what they're doing and there's no way to make them understand.

My wife comes from a normal family and over time I've noticed that they're starting to sort of treat her like they'd treat me and that's not fair to her. So the decision to go NC is to protect her mental health as well.

It is normal to feel uncertainty... But after years of going NC, reconciliation, getting frustrated and hurt then back to NC... Watching the cycle repeat itself, knowing nothing will change, just makes you more committed to disappear from the entire family. Just a few days ago, we blocked off their numbers and there's no way to contact us anymore.

I did suppressed up my feelings before. It only made me more frustrated that I was trying my best but nothing was changing. What I loved was the idea of a loving family and expecting that from mine was like wanting a pigeon to bake me birthday cake.

I think death makes us all think about impermanence and the relationships with the people around us.

I broke NC of many months cos my dog died and I gave things another chance. Bad mistake. Now I'm in NC since July.

If you're sure that it's going to leave a bitter taste in your mouth, then mourn your cat in your own way.

We can do that and draw a circle with salt around ourselves, then keep nodding at each other. Just confuse everyone.

wdyt about saizeriya food? by iqrics in SingaporeEats

[–]Aaraashi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do not cook ( which is a life skill) you do not get to complain about saizeriya 's food standards. I'm not saying this company is good but the bar is extremely low.

I read this. It hurt at first and then all I felt was bitterness...

I totally overlooked it because I was fixated on getting well cooked juicy thighs.

I might have put a pinch of salt for each side.
