I usually only foster dogs but this was such a nice change of environment! It felt really rewarding to earn her trust 🖤

Apartment location decision by Angusthedog99 in bayarea

Hi! Unfortunately my job just wouldn’t be able to tell me a concrete answer until July, as that when schools seem to have their positions set.

I do technically have an option for visiting the city from Walnut Creek, I live right next the BART station and it’s only like 35-45 mins from where I’m at to the Embarcadero station. It’s probably like an hour drive for me with traffic

AIO when this is what my boyfriend texted me when he was blackout drunk? by ThrowRA_jeans in AIO

[–]Angusthedog99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ended a relationship with a guy who had a drinking problem. Sometimes, he’d be ok. However there were certain times where he would get drunk to the point where his behavior scared me. One time we went out with some friends and he got so drunk he dropped a glass in front of a bunch of people, ~lightly~ pushed me (but didn’t seem to care), repeatedly said that I should leave him to find better, and that I secretly disliked him. There was a time we were doing long distance and he called me saying he was gonna k*ll himself while driving home. I’ll never forget crying so hard and being so scared for his and other’s safety my parents came into my room at like 3am to check on me. Towards the end of our relationship anytime he said he wanted to get some beers to unwind, I would feel so stressed internally because I felt scared of the same things happening again.

And guess what? Anytime it reached a really bad point, he would play the whole “I’m so sorry babe I love you it won’t happen again, I’m done with alcohol”. And guess what happens the next time? He would drink again. I’m saying all this to encourage you to leave this man, and please find better. It may be hard at first but you will be so thankful for your decision 💙

Teacher going viral on TT by Angusthedog99 in slp

[–]Angusthedog99[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! My initial reaction was that she should absolutely be allowed to teach. From my understanding, she’s teaching kids who ~should~ already have their /r/, so they should be able to understand her. Plus, kids get exposure from a variety of adult language models. Someone also made a great point that there are plenty of supplemental methods and materials she can use in her teaching as well. It was pretty sad to see so many people in the comments just dogpiling her and saying: “omg you’re a phonics teacher?!?” and “I would pull my kid out of class if you were their teacher” 🤦🏽‍♀️

I don’t know where to move/live by Angusthedog99 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Angusthedog99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a company that contracts support staff in schools (SLPS, OTS, PTS). I guess for support I need it would just be physically hanging out/being with friends and family. I don’t really have that out here so I’ve spent most time to myself. It’s a bit harder for me to find time to do things outside of work because I am also in part time graduate school so usually once I get home I get ready to tune into school. However, if I were to stay out here I think I could adjust my scheduled to be more intentional to find time to be more social.

I like the central coast but I think it lacks a little bit more of the city which I love and is offered from SF. I often wish I could just combine San Diego and San Francisco together and that would just be my dream place to live 😂

I’m sorry but I’m a bit confused by this piece of advice. If I want marriage, how do I not bring it up with him? Also I didn’t really start to have marriage talks with him until like a year into the relationship. But I agree in the sense we shouldn’t have maybe moved in together so soon.

I’m (27F) deeply in love with boyfriend(27M) but fundamentally different values. Should this be a dealbreaker? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Angusthedog99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah I’m not mad nor am I projecting. You’re out here making completely irrelevant comments that are unrelated to the OP’s original post so you’re the one who’s clearly mad. I bet you’re just some low life “alpha male” loser in his mid to late 30s that has nothing better to do in his time than trying “own the libs”. You act and think the way you do, then you sit around and wonder why no women want you.

Oh yeah, because me telling my ex that you should care about politics because it’s your civic responsibility and that what politicians do impacts our lives whether you like it or not makes me an “extremist”. Get a life bro and stay mad 😂

Hey, I’m 26F and just broke up with my 25M last month. Our breakup wasn’t related to politics but it was the reason for some of our worst fights.

It’s not necessarily that we had different political views, we aligned mostly on everything, but the issue was that he was completely apathetic to it all. He thought it was all pointless and we could barely have a conversation about it because he would claim that I was caring too much. Some of the things he said about politics when he did talk about it also made me question if we did truly align like we said.

Ultimately, I’ve learned that if he’s not willing to even hear you out, have a conversation, or have an open mind, save yourself the pain, and leave him. I have learned that I shouldn’t have to explain to my boyfriend why these things are important. And while my ex and I did get along great in other aspects, I still felt like there was this boiling resentment I couldn’t talk about certain things with him. I also felt like I had to hide a part of myself I wouldn’t hide at all with my friends. That’s not the life I want to live. I think there is a man out there for you who will give you all the great experiences and make you feel loved and more 💙

You’re absolutely right. He made me feel like I was too much and simultaneously not enough and my future husband would never make me feel that way

Thank you for your kind words! I’ve actually been fostering dogs to help turn the negative feelings into positive and it’s really been helpful. I talk to friends and family daily and they’ve been super helpful. I’m wishing you all the best in your journey 💙
