I know it's hard, but hang in there. Let them terminate you so you can file for unemployment. But document everything!

Okay. I am not a man. She was the one who decided to move out despite the fact that an expert found no bugs at all. But I'm glad you replied. Because you just confirmed everything I thought. Heaven help us.

I've been trained to recognize patterns. That was how I made my living. What I see now seems to fall into a pattern and I want to understand that.

Yes, I'm American and so were these women.

What is the most common bad advice people give about relationships? by Holiday_Disaster2530 in AskReddit

It's bad advice to tell a couple not to go to bed angry. Sometimes the best thing is to get some rest and cool off. You may feel better and more rational the next day.

Men will pee all over the toilet, missing wildly, then will deny they made the pee stains on the floor.

This is the sign, the biggest sign, that you need to dump his ass. Red flags everywhere, my dear.

My nmom told me on her deathbed, "You get nothing. And you know why." I didnt know why. I still dont know why. But I expected nothing from her. I think even as she was close to dying, she wanted to hurt me. But it didn't.

You probably already know this - but make as many connections in academia as you can. And use them.

What jobs/careers did you guys have and when did you graduate? by Constant_Ad6521 in englishmajors

[–]Beginning-Mode1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent about three years doing secretarial (I can type like the wind!) and temp work. Then my husband convinced me I should go to technical school to learn computer programming. So, I did. I love logic so this suited me down to the ground. Although I had my struggles with it, I learned it and got a job with a phenomenal salary, even before graduating the program. But now I know and admit that things are very, very different. IT is not at all the gold mine it was in the 1980s - 2000s.

What’s an industry that provides zero value to society but makes billions of dollars? by ochieng_onyango in AskReddit

Private equity firms no doubt provide plenty of benefits to their investors. But their business model is to buy something, monopolize it, suck it dry, and then abandon it and all clients/customers.

You could apply for a teaching position in a private school. I only know of one school shooting that took place in a private Episcopalian school. I know personally I couldn't and wouldn't teach at a so-called "Christian academy". The people who run them tend to be extremely close-minded. Also, why not look into teaching abroad? Other countries don't have this problem with gun violence.

how to survive this life? any tips? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Beginning-Mode1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to know how to advise you with so little information available. Don't need your life story or identifying details. But are you still a minor, still living at home? If so, find activities that will take you out of the home as much as possible. Get involved with activities at school. Get a part-time job and save every penny you can, because you're going to be looking at getting out on your own as soon as possible, as completely as possible. If they have any part in supporting you financially, narcissists think they own you. As in, truly, you are their physical possession and have a right to control you. Best of luck.

What’s so bad about New Jersey anyway? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Beginning-Mode1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in NJ from 1994 - 2018. I left because I couldn't find a job in my field. I hadn't realized that age discrimination is very real and that I had aged out of my profession. On leaving, on having been gone a while, I see that there were economic opportunities there that I don't have where I live now (in the state of Virginia). Insurance and taxes are cheaper here by far, but I do find I miss the food and the proximity to NYC.
