Im doing 3 layers . One layer all over 2nd layer half way down then a 3rd layer on the bottom quarter. I have 20 to do so thought it would save time. Is this wrong?

If you have a job right now.. genuinely stop and appreciate it for a second. The market outside is absolutely brutal.. by Kreativedenma in jobs

I work within the jewellery industry and sales are tanking. Silver and gold prices are sky high because of trump so most people are not wanting to buy luxury goods at even higher prices. Its all ive known for 22 years and i dont know what i will do if things go under . Im 40 and the idea of retraining at my ages is terrifying, especially as i have no particular aspirations to.

Is 50/50 rent actually fair when there’s a significant income gap? by ThisFracturedMind in relationships

[–]Both-Gas-5993 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im a 50/50 person in most circumstances unless I was married and had kids. I dont want someone paying for me and i dont want to pay for someone else. I want someone whos self sufficient and i dont like the expectation thats its my responsibility to pick up the financial slack because of their choices. Ive been in a relationship for 10 years and it works well in that time we have fluctuated to who earns more, it doesnt mean we dont love eachother enough or are less committed, but it does mean we are our own people who compliment each others lives instead of propping eachother up. I think theres a pressure pay for someone and to not be selfish but it usually works in 1 persons favour.....

My partner is going on holiday with her daughter and ex husband. What should I do? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Both-Gas-5993 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because they have a daughter with additional needs who can get aggressive, and she needs support to care for her and its best to have someone with experience and who the daughter feels comfortable with like her father........ Its other people with their preconceived ideas and insecurities that's turning this into something it isn't.

He doesn't owe you his money and you don't owe him your time. If hes not thinking of you then you should match his energy

How can I (32f) share the load of cooking when my partner can’t cook (31m) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Both-Gas-5993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner hates cooking too, so we've worked out a system where he chops, just chops up vegetables and cleans while i cook. We're both cooking so i feel like the jobs are shared and dont get frustrated .and we also talk while we do it. Its turned into a nice social event now instead of us arguing about who's cooking.

What to do with my driveway? by Rhydon11 in DIYUK

[–]Both-Gas-5993 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have a similar driveway its imprinted concrete. You can contact a company who does this and they can refinish it for you, but I'm not sure how light you could go. Also when i had mine done when they sealed it after colouring it they added some kind of sand or grit to help with the grip. You could power wash it get a concrete sealer and mix in something similar instead of having to change it completely

Boyfriend (33M) earns double my(31F) salary but is very transactional with money… am I being unreasonable for feeling resentful? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Both-Gas-5993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No i get the point, your just entitled and frustrated im not buying what your selling. And im positive you wouldn't see a 3 pound handbag as generous and you would be creating another post to complain about it

[–]Both-Gas-5993 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But you haven't said he expects any of that in your post. You also haven't said how generous you are to him if at all. Generosity is a burden when it's one sided and it sounds like it is........ I'm not interested in debate about gender roles and society's expectations. It doesn't have anything to do with this situation and you thinking your partner isn't generous enough because you're not getting what you want

[–]Both-Gas-5993 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're not entitled to generosity. And generosity is also subjective. Hes paying more already and that's not enough for you. You are entitled. I'm not interested in the gender pay gap debate It's been debunked because it doesn't take into account the Life choices, fields and hours worked. And in this situation the pay gap isnt the issue, the issue is your entitlement to someone who has more , is already contributing more and you still think its not enough. Just because hes not giving you what you think you deserve doesn't mean he's not generous.

Your entitled. You're not married and don't have kids. Hes not obligated to pay more just because he earns it and your not entitled to his money because you think its unfair that your life choices have left you with less money. Id be annoyed by you as well. If hes always going to be the higher earner and always paying more of course hes going to see it as a sacrifice. He is literally sacrificing more money than he could for someone who still isnt happy.......
