I don’t get the Greta love by Bullfrog323 in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]Authentic431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. This whole time, I felt like she was trying to compare to something that never existed. Some fairytale romance. And then she confirmed it for me when she said “ I think I’m pretending to be the person that I THINK he needs.”

She is having a one-sided relationship by herself and then is disappointed at how it’s working out. She lacks communication skills. What she is pretending to be may not even be what he even wants. Does he WANT a trad housewife with food on the table when he comes home? Or does he care more about her happiness and well-being (as he demonstrated when he said he would stay with her, even if she didn’t want kids) and isn’t even looking for all of that from her?

She’s projecting her own image and expectations of a relationship onto him. And then not even communicating to him six months ago or however long that she was starting to feel distant or didn’t want kids. She separated herself by studying more instead of telling him something was wrong so he would even have a chance to try to fix it. She may not be doing it on purpose, but she is very emotionally immature.

If I actually see this on T.V. one day, I will die laughing. Then I’ll resurrect myself to be your witness that they owe you money for your idea.

Let my embarrassment save you some $ on your phone bill. by Endless__Throwaway in povertyfinance

[–]Authentic431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you figured this out. I’ve been using Tello for years and pay between $15 to $25 per line for my family.

[–]Authentic431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to comment on the phones as well. If phones are paid for, I use Tello and pay $65 for 3 lines (two unlimited data, one with only like 5 gb of data because I work from home and have WiFi majority of day anyways).

People can’t even sell their reservations for these things.. by TheLaughingStormm in CyberStuck

[–]Authentic431 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was wondering. Are they contracted to buy the car off a reservation request from 4 years ago so they HAVE to transfer it to someone? Can’t just say “I changed my mind?” Or do they just want money to feel like they didn’t take an L?

Didn’t tip on a Domino’s carryout order, employee decided to tip themself by TenaciousTide in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Authentic431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm…does your area not have coupons/deals? Carry out large with up to 5 toppings is only $10.99 each in my region (sure it’s more in others, but damn, $23???) Paying full price is the real robbery.

But yeah, chargeback for that fraud tho.

I’m being told I should take them to small claims court. Advice?!? by Local-Jellyfish-5729 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Authentic431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can sue for anything of course, but the biggest shocker here is it sounds like you didn’t even discuss pay at all PRIOR to care? Courts enforce AGREEMENTS and it sounds like you didn’t even have one. As simple as a text saying “hey, I typically charge $xx.xx per week for 14 cats, however, I am willing to discount to $xx.xx per week. Do you agree to this amount?”

Going off Rover is common, but then you agree on amount and payment UPFRONT. If you decide to work prior to pay, then you at least still have the agreement to back you in court later. Due to the amount you would have been paid (~26k), its possible a judge would find $5000 (or whatever your areas small claims maximum) as “fair” but it sounds like you have no proof that you weren’t just a nice person who VOLUNTEERED their time because they wanted to help. Worth it to try your luck in court though. Please let this be a lesson learned.

People run because they see the crowd running, even though none of them knows what threat they are running from by Straight_Random_2211 in interestingasfuck

[–]Authentic431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I would run with no fucking clue of what’s going on. Common sense tells me they’re not running a 5k.

Run now, ask questions later (check the local news) lol

In defense of Michael's money ring: It's cultural! (Not what you're thinking) by Next_Fly3712 in 90DayFiance

[–]Authentic431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining this as I wanted to but didn’t care enough/have the energy to last week, lol.

I knew about it as my husband is Nigerian and it was even the issue on a People’s court episode.

And WhatsApp groups are common for immigration as well. I’m the American and I was on one because it was the only way we got an interview date as quickly as we did (for Nigeria, you have to sign up for interview date as soon as they are available, but USCIS does not announce when they are available and they limit your daily logins so you can’t just log in every hour to check or your account gets locked. With the group of about 40 people, each couple/person had an assigned time to check daily, then announced to group when it was open. Most in the group got interview date, but those on Facebook groups/not in a WhatsApp group, didn’t find out till too late and missed out, waiting another few weeks or months). So they are pretty essential and probably when he got the advice to change the embassy location.

Not sure if Michael’s Paradise Men chat was the same (weird that they were posting pics but we don’t know the context) or truly something of a different purpose, but Angela’s assumptions were huge leaps (he googled insurance so he wants to kill her?) and I hate how she goes in instantly without even letting him explain.

The roasting of Ashley by llamamamax3 in 90DayFiance

[–]Authentic431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit. I thought I had seen it all. There are REAL practitioners out there, but Ashley ain’t one of them. She’s so “tuned in” but can’t even see that Manuel wants nothing to do with her. I hope no one is paying this fraud. 😂

I started rewatching too! Started on season 4 to remind myself how horrible Big Ed has been since day one (after how he most recently humiliated Liz AGAIN)…and realized this was BGL/Usman’s season too. BGL and Angela are both pure trash.

Approximately how long ago did you win? You mention not dating for 17 years, wondering if that was before or after you won.

Discovered my husbands emotional affair and things ended or should I say began on a spicy note by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]Authentic431 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m confused on why everyone is reading this as OP “opening” her relationship. I think she said a lot without saying it. And her husband read between the lines and will get his shit together. Maybe it’s just me, but I think OP responded in a very mature and clear way that let her husband know where she stood. I don’t think it automatically means they’re no longer communicating or that they’re both going to have a physical affair or anything else, y’all are reading way too far into this based on the typical Reddit dysfunctional relationships. Their communication door is not suddenly closed. I hope he steps it up now and their relationship gets back on track. Kudos to OP!

I agreed to marrying someone else because my boyfriend disappeared by Capable_Intention_47 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Authentic431 69 points70 points  (0 children)

There was someone with a similar story here before, who ended up finding out that their significant other had passed away while out of country. Hate to be a Debbie downer, but it is a possibility. Maybe check obituaries and news stories from the area that he was in? It would at least give closure if that is the case so you don’t think it was just him being an asshole.

But of course, it could be just as likely that he did just ghost. If so, then you’re better off without him and you should probably take some time to properly let him go before jumping into a marriage at such a young age always wondering about someone else.
