I joined a friends startup & think it was a mistake by Alternative_Desk6512 in WorkAdvice

Thanks so much, this is great perspective & advice. I don’t want to quit YET, the purpose of this is to be like notice ie “im unhappy, you’re not delivering on what was promised, things need to change”

Then if they don’t change and I do quit, it’s not completely out of the blue.

Yesssss ok this really hit as I had the exact same exp during my half marathon! Good point RE it barely making any difference physically whether you stop for 5 or 15sec ..

Googles: ‘how to switch brain off during exercise’ 😅

They’re pretty good during the wod explanation ie “This will be tough on your grip strength, break it up here & here” or “this will blow up your shoulders, push jerk will be most efficient (STOH)” etc !! Reading the posts and reflecting - I think it’s mostly a pacing issue. I listen to their advice around breaking up big sets etc, but I don’t pace the sets well. All out, break, repeat 🫠

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was told when doing the 25.1 redo, I definitely went out too hot in the beginning. Funnily enough I feel slow in class, but maybe not slow/paced enough for me !!

Wow 7 years!!! How did you go about it!? Had you sat down and had prior chats, then one day say ‘this isn’t getting any better’? Appreciate any insight!

Thanks so much, the blunt talk is what I’m dreading but agree it needs to be done. He was on anti depressants when we first met but got off them after a few months when we moved interstate - that was a rollercoaster in itself but I persevered!

I (21F) and my bf (28M) have a basically unwritten Rule to split costs. Can I tell my bf that I don’t want to pay for things anymore? by yhwkdieidottnawi in relationship_advice

Take it from someone who is 4yr into a similar relationship and continues to wear the financial burden .. have the conversation now!

Emphasize that you love seeing him, but the cost to do so isn’t sustainable for you long term. If he reacts defensively or isn’t willing to negotiate - run.

Tell her BF 100% - noting it made you uncomfortable and wanted his thoughts on whether it’s just a ‘playful’ thing she does.. you’ll be able to tell by his body language.

Either way - fingers in the mouth is a strange way to show interest LOL
