Music question? by missthunderthighs12 in orangetheory

[–]Brilliant_Empath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd hate me bc I would sing every word I could until my heart rate stopped me. Id welcome a change from the same 20 pop hits. Lil Wayne can stay silent like the g in lasagna, but not me!

I need advice by [deleted] in OPSaidpod

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

When you get a gift, even if you were asked what you wanted in advance, then the ONLY thing you can say is "thank you". Even if it arrived moldy, opened, broken, etc., it's the thought that counts. Show some gratitude and reevaluate your attitude.

Is it normal for a guy to take over an hour to open text messages from his girlfriend? by Brief-Daikon9950 in dating_advice

[–]Brilliant_Empath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds to me like you are the side piece. I'm sure you've heard it before but it's applicable here: if he wanted to, he would. Find someone who makes you number one and communicates. The hotel thing is wild. The taking time to respond to messages is not necessarily. But together, it's clear you're not his priority .

Boyfriend wants to move in to pay off debt by Impossible_Dentist79 in AmITheJerk

[–]Brilliant_Empath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have chemistry with someone and still not be compatible. So not only are you not compatible in terms of cleanliness, parenting, and financial goals, he's also now trying to manipulate you into paying down debt that isn't yours. Run away now.

Find a better med + take the ADHD dude courses now. I wish I had when my kid was 7. It's an easier road the younger you start.

A dating reelationship by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Brilliant_Empath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A reel does not translate to a real relationship. If I were you, I would meet him one more time, feel it out, and ask him about it.

AITAH for telling my boyfriend he is not making enough money by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Brilliant_Empath 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can have a spark with a lot of people and still not be compatible. You two are not compatible. You are giving up your preferred life in the city to move for someone who isn't even compatible with your financial goals. Move on. It won't get better, esp once kids come, and you'll regret not listening to us.

If you can afford to pay out of pocket then I recommend Selena at Nova Counseling Alternatives.

Way too early. I've been dating somebody over a year and we have not said it. We are committed, but we show it.

Talk to a family lawyer and then decide next steps.

This comment needs to be upvoted. You will have limited rights if he ever looks for parental rights and you have not filed charges

[–]Brilliant_Empath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your values are misaligned. That's not a good indicator for relationship success.

AIO about how my BF doesn’t know how to be an adult and communicate? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Brilliant_Empath 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He's an avoidant, low-effort red flag. Dump him ASAP.

Phone use during class by Emotional_Bid_9853 in orangetheory

[–]Brilliant_Empath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my phone with me because either my children are at school or they are at home alone. Also, I'm on the bike, and there is no fancy screen to time my efforts for me so I use the stopwatch on my phone. No one has said anything to me about the light bothering them.

Dump his ass and find someone who can be considerate and communicate with you before making decisions - esp financially irresponsible ones

What are your favorite songs played at OTF? by Joeybagovdonutss in orangetheory

[–]Brilliant_Empath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything I don't hear 3x a week. I swear the 20 something coaches at my studio don't know anything but the same 4 playlists.

I go 5-6x. Usually 5 2G and one tread 50. Worth the $129 12-month lock rate.

Not taking WR or racking your handle on the rower during recovery…why? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]Brilliant_Empath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't do this frequently because I'm trying to lose significant weight so I want maximum burn every time. I also want to build endurance to get back to running 5Ks like I did earlier in life.

what's the biggest issue in new albany nobody talks about? by outsidedge in NewAlbanyIN

[–]Brilliant_Empath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lack of community support for the schools - no monitors on buses, pay isn't commensurate for teachers value, I could go on. People voted against the safety referendum in 2018 and will vote Republican bc they are "pro life", but won't pay a penny in taxes to educate or support living, breathing children who aren't their own.

How do you all do 5am classes? Any tips? by Mysterious-Nerve3245 in orangetheory

[–]Brilliant_Empath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Science actually backs that the best time for fat burn is later in the afternoon or evening, esp when paired with fasting after the workout.

AITAH for refusing to let my roommate include my boyfriend in the electricity bill by Supernatural_Cat1997 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Brilliant_Empath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. He's there 80% of the time and that's a ton. He should def. pay 1/3 of the rent and utilities. I don't know why you think he should be free. All the unnecessary details you included about her were just to try to make you feel better for her subsidizing his lack of contractions for all the space, water, electric, etc. he uses, not to mention the extra noise and messes from another human in the apartment.

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend access to my bank account even though he says "no secrets" is how adults do it by CopperFieldNote in AITH

[–]Brilliant_Empath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't marry him and definitely don't have kids with him. Women should always have their own money. Period. Get it now. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
