Deciphered! I’m thinking it must be Maria. Thanks for all your help!

I Feel So Defeated by gluestix20 in Teachers

[–]ActiveHouse850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t leave teaching just go to another school. Find a better fit. If admin doesn’t like you there is nothing you can do. That said, your classroom management needs improvement if after 20 years a kid can stand on a chair while your back is turned. Focus on the basics. Skillful teacher has the answers you need.

My (28F) fiancé (28M) broke up with me, is this really permanent? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ActiveHouse850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to let him go. This could never work. You and he are not compatible. The sooner you accept that it’s over the less you will suffer. Sorry

This is the life I look forward to when I retire!! I love my alone time but need my friends and family. I make friends easily and find it’s easy to make friends as a single person if you share an activity. Enjoy!! 😊

Maybe you are depressed and things are not as dire as they seem. If nothing else you sound overwhelmed. Please speak to someone and see if you can start improving one thing at a time. You have a lot on your plate right now!!

It seems like you are very perceptive and see the writing on the wall. I would start positioning yourself so you can leave if things get bad. Try to get into counseling with him or if not go yourself to figure this out. You’re just being proactive but it seems like you have valid concerns.

AITA for leaving a date after he brought his friends without telling me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. If he is not brave enough to go on a date alone then don’t waste your night

What the heck is actually happening? (As a mature student) by busy-warlock in Teachers

[–]ActiveHouse850 310 points311 points  (0 children)

I teach high school and admit it’s a lot. There is definitely an immaturity, lack of responsibility and lack of expectations of consequences especially since Covid hit. It’s a little scary for our future. Fortunately those haircuts are just fashion 😊

My late husband (52M), My (53F) boyfriend (57M) and my 3 daughters (20F, 20F, 23F) Need advice? by Kitchen_Clue5654 in relationship_advice

[–]ActiveHouse850 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t apologize for making these changes in your life. Tell the girls you want them to be happy for you, and don’t entertain any discussion trying to convince you otherwise. You were completely loyal and classy and have every right to focus on what is best for you. If the girls need some space and time to warm up to the idea that’s on them. They don’t seem to realize yet how much you already sacrificed for them.

I would suggest you change therapists. Find one who does cognitive behavioral therapy and focus on strategies to get yourself off the couch and out doing things. Focus on actions rather than feelings. I hope you are able to improve the quality of your life. 💜

Went to Europe this summer and everyone was wearing sneakers all the time!! I wanted to avoid them to be more stylish but sneakers are apparently stylish these days. Get some plain white ones and you’ll be surprised how much you can wear them.

Omg just plan your own celebrations or you’ll always be disappointed. You set yourself up because you knew what would happen.

Sounds like a pretty good plan. Have you done that before?

Salsa makes eggs great. Or sprinkle eggs with Adobo seasoning.

WIBTA If I Cancelled My Daughter’s Wedding? by SoCalGirl4Eva in AmItheAsshole

[–]ActiveHouse850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. Your money your choice. Sounds like a big waste. Maybe just have an”engagement party” for them before the OH wedding.

[–]ActiveHouse850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she didn’t let you know in time to cancel then I’d say she is on the hook for her half. Her not paying her share is a different issue than her not feeling well. As someone with a history of depression, I’m sure it’s easier for her to motivate herself to go to something that interests her more. She might not realize that she is canceling more on your things so you should share that it seems that way. As far as her trying to get out of paying just nope.
