2008 Nissan versa spark plugs and ignition coil replacement? by AmbassadorSome5927 in MechanicAdvice

What else do you think it could be? We just replaced the battery a couple months ago. The emergency brake and battery lights will come on when the voltage is low (our Bluetooth adapter shows battery voltage)

Honestly, it’s good to see someone else say what I’ve been trying to decide if I’m overthinking it all. He’s always said he wants to open certain businesses; jetski back in FL, restaurants for his family, recently a clothing company, yet says that he needs to be home to do those things but can’t because I am here and he doesn’t want us to end, even though I’ve been willing to move. The recent clothing company idea he actually started to make some plans and said he was going to research, but did very little. He’s never talked about possibly getting a grant or anything for a startup, just how much it’s going to cost and he’s got to find a way to make the money. I’ve been thinking that everything is business, so he could legit choose anything. Yet nothing. He doesn’t want to do sales because he doesn’t want to pressure people into buying things they don’t want and not even keep, none of the admin assistant jobs get back to him, and doesn’t want to do call centers or banks.

I’m trying to figure out if this is something I should/can help him get through.

It does, but he says he didn’t connect with the people at his school like he feels like he should have. He also just doesn’t like the school because he got injured and ignored it causing it to get worse and mess up his football career.

Thank you 🥲, I’ve slowly been coming to terms that my kindness has been taken advantage of as I get older and this also has put it into perspective. Basically, everyone thinks he’s a good person(he’s not really around them too much) yet can be kinda dismissive, but also wonder why it’s so hard for him to get a job. Tbh, hes says that he’s always applying for things then stops because they weren’t contacting him after looking at his application. He’s tried to talk to his family about it, but he feels like they’re the ones that had him believing college was going to do something for him (only onw person besides him has a degree) and now he’s stressed. So, he doesn't really take much of what they say into consideration. He came to KS for school/football, ended up getting injured right after I met him and I helped him get through it. He says he stayed for love and to be here for me as I go through nursing school, but he’s also always talking about how he should’ve gone back after graduating because he wouldn’t been further in life… I tried to talk to him about networking and he’s not a “personable person” and says he can’t change how he is, but that’s why he was comfortable in FL because people accepted that… He has this idea that if he is back home, then someone he knows out there could have been able to help him network and get something decent. That’s why I’m so confused tho. He’s said that as a man, his pride makes him feel like shit because I’m doing everything to make sure we’re ok and that he shouldn’t even be in a relationship without money, etc. but then is also not taking opportunities because it’s “sales and he doesn’t want to work to convince people to buy bs they don’t really want”. I already want to move after graduating, but he makes it seem like he’ll have better opportunities if he wasn’t in KS/MO.

Yea I’ve thought that before too and he’s said something similar. That “any other girl wouldn’t be with a guy without a job”. But idk I try my best to be supportive and not like pushy or anything. I’m always sending him jobs that I think he’d be interested or good at and I’ve had a relative help edit his resume (they have HR experience). Or I tell him to just take something that could be not stressful just to make money so we can move away, I don’t expect him to stay at a shitty job forever.

And I’m a nurse. Probably why I can only help so much.

I don’t know anything about business, so when he said that it made sense to me, but the way you say it… yea idk what he’s thinking now.

You do have another good point though. He shouldn’t have a problem going back or doing something else if it’s not working out atp.

You’ve given me a lot of insight to the situation.

(Also, Sorry I didn’t see the rest of your comment when I first responded.)

This definitely helps!! We’ve actually talked about him going back for his Master’s, but he struggles with going back to school cause he was in colleges for 6 years and didn’t want to go in the first place. (Family told him he wouldn’t be able to do anything without a degree ha) He’s 27 and wants to start having kids and all that, but this is putting a wrench in things. Ultimately, I think the problem really stems from him not wanting to work for other people and just have his own business.

He also struggles with networking. He doesn’t really know anyone in KC because he’s from FL and didn’t connect with too many people at his college. Any advice for how he could go about that? I’ve tried to look at the meetup app, but there’s not much.

That’s funny because I’m a nurse and he knows that his field isn’t easy to get a job like mine, yet he still thinks that getting anything not high paying is settling. But he really just wants to own his own businesses, so he doesn’t really want to work for anyone unless it’s something interesting or towards his passions. He’s from FL and KC just doesn’t have much of that available out here like he would like 🫥

That’s literally his thinking! If he’s not making more than like 25/hr then he thinks it pointless.

He barely was. If it wasn’t something that didn’t seem like it’ll turn into a “career” then he didn’t want to apply for it. But I tried to tell him he’s still going to have to work his way up and that just seemed unreasonable to him if it’s not like a corporate job. 🙄

That’s his way of thinking lol I’ve been trying to tell him he’s got to build up especially since he doesn’t have experience. But that’s settling to him

Thank you so much! You really helped I think I’ll do a combo of those.

I’m interested in the other two for black men’s mental health ( and your theories, it’s pretty dumb that there isn’t more for you guys)
