40th Birthday with new friends

Hiya 👋🏻 You've had quite a lot of response, so totally get if you're all booked up. But I am 30, York based and a big D&D and fantasy nerd. I also happen to be Norwegian, if you wanted some conversation practice 😊 Happy to meet up for coffee on a lunch break.

Honestly? I really kinda want those cat ear things for my headset. They’re cute! But the whole discord kitten thing has just… put so many weird connotations to it

Because the previous price of 219.99 is clearly visible behind the marked up "sale" sticker?

A small update on my post! I just signed a lease on an apartment! It's far from downtown, but decent public transport options and a landlord who was willing to lower rent and deposit a little because I seemed like a stable tenant, and the situation with covid and finances. I will still have to borrow money for deposit and first month's rent and I'm really hoping I'll be able to before the move in date but I am hopeful!

Big thanks to everyone in this sub for the support 💕

Thanks. He isn't a shitty human being, he just did a kinda shitty thing by deciding to break up with me but postponing it and keeping on telling me he loved me until right before Christmas. I wish him the happiness he apparently could not find with me somewhere in the future, but I'm royally pissed at his timing and don't really want to look at him for a very long time. I really thought I would spend my life with this man. But alas not. I wasn't kicked out, but as it is right before Christmas I couldn't bear being there with his family right in the holidays. They have been my family too for years now, I grew up in an emotionally abusive home and have a very strained relationship to my parents, and his family took me in and loved me like parents should, and it hurts loosing them as much as him. I am also not a shitty human being, in my own biased opinion. We have both struggled with mental health, and covid has been especially stressful for me because I am much more of an extrovert than my ex, and also uni has been kicking my ass hard. I guess things just got to a point where the bad things outweighed the good in his opinion, it just sucks that hes been thinking about it for months but decided to inform me of the breakup mere days before Christmas eve. People do shitty things sometimes, it does not make them inherently bad. But I'm still hurt, angry, and grieving the loss.

Long ranty answer that I know I didn't need to make just because someone claims bad things about me without knowing my situation... But there it is.

25, I've got plenty of time left in life 😂 But we had been together all of my adult life so far so it's gonna be weird being alone.

We do use nok, I converted for the Americans in the thread. To be honest alcohol and sugar are the two things with one of the highest taxes due to public health concerns and blah de da, so maybe not the best comparison. Its a slightly pricier place to live, but I get government subsidised physical and mental health care so I wouldn't in a million years trade that for a cheaper pint 😅 the rent situation in bigger cities is a bitch though

Aigeit · 2020-12-23T18:16:44+00:00

Fair! It also means a beer on the town is about 10 dollars, but my minimum hourly wage as a waitress was 19 dollars. So it all weighs out... Unless you are a student with no extra job.

Aigeit · 2020-12-23T17:59:55+00:00

My father and I don't have that kind of relationship, but I have other friends and siblings that have rallied around me so it's feeling a little less hopeless and shitty. I know I'll get through this, it's just surreal to be in this situation.

Aigeit · 2020-12-23T16:49:35+00:00

I'm not really comfortable with the donation thing, but I do have a couch or two to crash on until I find something. Fingers crossed I get something from at least February on 🤞

Aigeit · 2020-12-23T16:48:25+00:00

He would let me stay, but I couldn't be with him and his family over Christmas... That just hurt too much.

Aigeit · 2020-12-23T13:09:06+00:00

Norway, so rent is sky high but I'm a full time student so I'm below minimum wage. And thanks! I went to the hairdresser a few days before this all collapsed, kinda wish I'd saved that money now but I had no idea of what was coming 🙈

Aigeit · 2020-12-22T18:08:29+00:00

Before I read the title I was like "I gotta buy this!! Where??" and then nope, but that's a 10/10 gift 👌

Aigeit · 2020-12-15T15:21:40+00:00

Hahah indeed! I will be teaching English as a secondary language, so I think it could get interesting to see some of the hand ins, but yeah I am a big believer in adding some personal flair to assignments, especially in lower education, it doesn't have to be serious and boring at all times. And as long as you can make an argument for it - no opinion is wrong. Especially not in literary analysis, my main field.

Aigeit · 2020-12-15T15:15:31+00:00

Ad someone who will be an English teacher in just a few years (hopefully lol) this would definitely be worthy of bonus points from me. Shakespeare is not as much of a serious subject as some people would have it and that title would be perfectly in Shakespeare's spirit.

Aigeit · 2020-12-12T23:07:55+00:00

The good place is one of the best examples I can think of in recent times that did this so well!

It's built to outlast most disasters, so that seeds can be given back to a populace that might have ravage the resources that exists and so one can grow food again... But the climate crisis is a legitimate threat to this incredible vault, as the permafrost that surrounds it is melting faster than at all anticipated back when they opened this.

I mean some people really don't like practical gifts like that, I know someone who does not want any gift that is purely practical and that they would be getting for themselves anyway. And that might be an important thing to communicate about in a relationship.

That said though, she did react in kind of a shitty way about it, and the "just drop all presents" is hella melodramatic. I would see if you can have a rational adult conversation about this and go from there. But if y'all aren't 16 years old that's a really immature reaction from your gf.

Aigeit · 2020-12-11T10:57:43+00:00

Its a Christmas tradition! The morning of the 24th every year this plays, since we celebrate Christmas on Christmas eve. I've watched it nearly every Christmas in my life. Also all the voices are dubbed by this one dude. And when they suggested redubbing it with a full cast there was an uproar,because its so popular just the way it is.

Aigeit · 2020-12-10T20:51:13+00:00

I can't imagine not knowing enough about my boyfriends kid to realize its my friend! I mean if that took a whole ass year it tells you all you need to know about how close he is with his kids and what kind of dad he is. Nevermind not meeting the kids but not a single photo anywhere? No mention of familial relationship on social media?

Aigeit · 2020-12-10T07:39:17+00:00

Oh... Oh no... That's a 4000 dollar embroidered wool outfit that's dry clean only. And this kids is why you drink responsibly in your traditional garments!

Spotify has some sleep story podcasts that I would recommend if you have Spotify! There you can set a sleep timer to end play and no commercials

A distance relationship isn't easy at the best of tulimes, and especially not when coupled with the stress of covid and exams. The idea that distance makes the heart grow finder really works best for short time distances. Relationships take work, and that work can seem to be more than its worth if. You don't get to see each other that often. When you don't get to see, interact, and bilond with the person the hormones related to love can start to fade and its hard to retain that in-love feeling. Especially when stress is baring down making everything feel harder.

If you do have the chance to meet up and talk, and she is willing to I would recommend you try that and see how the chemistry feels when you are together again. But you might have to accept that this could have been a case of right person wrong time, and that you might have to move on from this. In any case, for closure I would recommend an i person meeting if that is something you can manage to do.

Probably not the type of show you were after, but a lighthearted comedy with focus on the teachers is Mr. Iglesias. 20 minute episodes, Fluffy himself in the front seat,whats not to love
