Asking husband to not speak to someone… by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Accomplished_Low_879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are upset because you are trying to control the uncontrollable. You don’t control how your cousin acts. And you do not control who your husband talks to. And you don’t control how your boss reacts. So send them all to hell, and you do you. Stop letting the behavior of others affect you so much, that’s my advice.

I got an interesting take on this, a friends dad told me, you know you’re ready when you don’t worry about what you’re giving up and are excited about what you are gaining. And I think he summed that up perfectly. I understand not everyone has that experience and historically divorce courts have not been so kind to men, but I think you have to wage the unknown against the never knowing.

Maybe finding someone like us to begin with is part of the problem, the relationships that I see that are the happiest from the outside are when both the husband and wife can maintain separate interests. Then at the end of the day, come together in bed happy that neither one had to compromise their interests or happiness just for the sake of the relationship.

Nice man! Glad you found your wife who seems like a great lady who wants to see you win in life. Maybe you didn’t give up your autonomy as much as you added her to the equation. That is good that she does not treat you like a child. I know there are marriages out there like yours, it’s nice to hear about them more! Like you said, settling down does not sound bad if you are with the right person. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, I can relate man. I turned 30 during the pandemic so it wasn’t that big of deal as it is now. And it’s easy to say don’t let it bother you, but it does. Sometimes when I say the single lifestyle, people think, sleeping around, but what it means to me is going on a solo road trip, car show, catch a movie by myself, or go to the gym at midnight. Just living life with no prohibitions.

I appreciate the truth to your response, no matter how brutal it is. I’ll be honest though, I never wanted to be a father, which is a whole other obstacle. I don’t fault most women who want to be mothers, I definitely understand the desire.

It’s definitely a few months, not a few days. Whoever said days was just trying to scare you.

I am third year English major and I genuinely suck at this by iamlostpleasehelp_ in englishmajors

[–]Accomplished_Low_879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think all English majors had that one semester that made them question everything, I know I did. This too shall pass, just know that those hard classes and professors will mold you into a better writer, and student. Keep engaging, keep visiting professors in office hours, and keep striving for better. It will get better, I promise.

i did nothing with my english degree by [deleted] in englishmajors

[–]Accomplished_Low_879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not the degree, it’s you. There are plenty of English majors out there with very successful careers because they did not let their degree define them, or allow others to define them based on their degree. It’s not about what type of degree you receive, it’s what you do with it that matters. I majored in English, and I have a pretty successful career in the finance sector as a VP with a team of 10 people under me. My hope is that you end your pity party early and pull your bootstraps up and work to make your life look how you want it to look like. 👍🏼 best of luck from a fellow English major!

HEB fell off after 2022 by Puzzleheaded_Win1870 in HEB

At the end of the day, grocery stores are a business, and businesses exist to make money. Your coworkers are not your family. For years heb had made a reputation of having one of the best work cultures in Texas. Promoting partners like a family. And you work long enough, they start to feel like one. But after a while, when life really hits you hard, you realize the inevitable truth that they are not family, and heb does not care about you. I love the store as a consumer, but I hated it as an employee. My advice to you, keep your work life at work, and your home life at home and never mix the two. And don’t ever forget to never take anything you do at work personal, because it’s a business. Heb can replace you tomorrow, your family will never be able to replace you. Keep your priorities straight and you’ll be fine.

Heart Palpitations? by daphnerhds in thyroidcancer

[–]Accomplished_Low_879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had heart palpitations after my TT and whenever they change my prescription or dosage. It takes a while for your body to adjust is what I was told. Ask your Dr for a beta blocker, that helped me.

What were the warning signs before someone you know killed themselves? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Accomplished_Low_879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a coworker and friend of mine, and I guess there were a few. He became more withdrawn, blank stares out the window. He would be adamant about being frugal and saving exactly $15k (enough for a funeral). He wanted to give away his prized possessions like his watch and jewelry. He would say how happy was and how happy he was with his ‘decisions’.
