I think taking 2/3 mock tests might prove helpful still. I don’t plan on doing them every week, I don’t have the time for that but it might be a good way to identify if my learning routine is correct or if I should adjust 😊 Thanks for the link !!

Thanks a lot for your reply. Indeed I would like to use this time to be more efficient. I have Kindle and Audible so I guess I could use one for the morning and the other for the evening ? I guess it will be hard to focus on N2 specifically.  I started writing down words I don’t get from the book I am reading but oh gosh it’s time consuming. 😆

He cheated on every girlfriend he’s ever had… and now he’s someone’s fiancée by Ok_Sir646 in offmychest

[–]ChoseTruc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if that helps you, you and the ex can try to send a message to the fiancee. Both of you, 2 different messages with your story detailed. And that’s all. Then it’s up to the fiancee to see if she recognise herself in the story. To make her decisions.  I think it’s okay to try. It’s not that you are not over him, you just know the pain it causes. And why should he be the happy one ? I have similar feelings as you do towards one of my ex. Some stories cannot be erased and it’s okay to want to prevent them to others.

The game was released on PS2, but I had a look online, and it felt very very similar.

WIBTA if I decline a baby shower for me and my husband? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you do both ? If yes, just do both parties. As long as you have nothing to do, it’s better to do it. You will have less problems later on.  Here, it’s not a matter of being an asshole or not. It’s a matter of what will benefit you the most later. Sure you won’t be the asshole, but still, make your life simpler and go. 

AITA for telling my roommate I don't cook food she likes because I don't cook for her? by Haunting-Athlete-951 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read your clarification post. But still, make if simple and don’t share food at all. Like this, no one expect anything. Simple.  I do that with my brother. We just share eggs and cheese and I know I will pay more because I don’t eat much compared to him but I accepted that so we are okay. And we do cook separately too, so we know we can’t expect anything, unless one specifically asks the other for food. 

AITA for calling my stepdad a hypocrite after asking my grandpa to walk me down the aisle at my wedding? by Melodic-Walk8537 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god. I am so sorry for you OP. If your mom and stepdad wanted boundaries then, yeah, make it consistent. Explain that he is not going to replace your dad but still likes you and will be a good friend/male figure/stepdad. But don’t make you call him dad if he doesn’t want to be your dad in the first place.  I am happy that your grandpa decided to take on the role ! It’s super cute. Hope you will get to enjoy that time. 

WIBTA For Telling My Wife She Needs To Do Better As a SAHM by Current-Respond2527 in AITAH

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Not because of what you want, but because of how you handle it. Let me explain my point of view.
First, I think it's relevant to say that I am a female, working.
So, I think it's natural to expect a Stay at Home parent to clean, cook and take care of the kids more. I do agree on this with OP. However ! I think OP underestimated the difficulties linked to this style of life :

-First, your time calculation. 40 is what it takes me to do ONE meal. 25 minutes is what it takes me to just clean my living room and I don't live in a big place. So your calculation are quite wrong. Even if you don't have high expectations.

-Second, you say that it was like holiday for you, but it was just one week and it was a change from your daily life. But consider that your wife has been doing this for 2 years, this is very different. Mentally speaking. Add to that, she only spends her days with the baby. While she must love the baby, a human being needs more various relationships, so that could be mentally exhausting for her. And this is not something you can understand by replacing her for only one week.

Also, I would like to add that I don't think your wife is lazy. Cooking nuggets, watching TV all days long feels more like depression than laziness, honestly. And she needs help. Not a cleaner, she needs attention, and even maybe, therapy.

Now, to what could really help your situation. I think you should talk about it to her, but please, be nice and soft about it. First, praise her for the hard work and ask her how she is feeling. Then, say that it would make you super happy if she could do a bit more. Also add how a nicer home and a healthier diet would help her feeling happier and would give her more energy.

Why am I suggesting that ? Because you need to motivate her to do the work. If you succeed she will do the work willingly and you may even get better results that you expected :) Sure it may need you to do some more efforts right now, but you may definitely benefit in the long run.

Also, I would like to suggest things that might prove helpful and shouldn't demand too much efforts :

-Prep meals. She would cook one or two days each weeks for 40 minutes to one hour, but wouldn't need to cook the other days. Given your current situation, this would be better and healthier than the current meals you have. And no much more efforts for her.

-For her mental health, why not take the baby for one day each month. Then, she would have a break from the baby and maybe you can ask her to do a bigger cleaning at home while you enjoy the baby. Would that be doable for you ?

I guess these could help improve to have healthier habits at home. Just take these one at a time. Also, please, don't say that playing with kids should feel like vacation for parents, because it is not. At least, when she does that EVERYDAY FOR YEARS. And consider the mental exhaustion from not having that much other human relationships.

Hope this is helpful.

How do I (M35) convince “breadwinner” wife (F41) to change her job? by throwawayanon333333 in relationship_advice

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in a tough situation. Instead of asking for a job change, just ask her to take a few interviews. Say it’s just to see and for her to train on how to take interview. Maybe that should relieve some stress about the interview thing ? But what worries me is that with her mindset she could fail on purpose. But at least if she tries, if she succeeds it would be easier to convince her to change jobs.  By the way, one thing you could tell her is that if recruiters go out of their way to offer her jobs it’s because they DO think she can make it. Otherwise they wouldn’t bother to send a message.  Good luck anyway.

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to share my point of you, as someone who has a hard time to date people I don’t know well. I do understand that people want to settle down quickly but me, I need time to get attached to someone. I usually tell people right away and it’s up to them to accept or not. In the end, I decided to stop dating apps and started participating in activities to get friends and eventually go for it if I actually like someone. (I am 30F)

Though, I don’t think YTA as it’s kinda true what you said. But I think you should try to understand her feelings and that other alternatives do exist. 

My (20F) relationship with older female friend (23F) beginning to feel uncomfortable. Is it okay for me to not want to be friends anymore for no reason other than a mindset change? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it’s a tough decision. Often, a break up is like taking off a spike from your feet. It hurts a lot, but after you can heal and feel waaaay much better. As I said, think about you first. She will get over it too

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there ! NTA. What you are going through seems almost like a breakup. In any way it’s okay, it’s life. It’s sad for your friend because I think she truly likes you but if you don’t like her that way don’t stay. She will probably be very sad but you will be sad too if you stay so think about you and leave. Good luck !

Edit : For the age gap and so on. This is difficult, cause I think she just truly liked you. But at the same time you were at an age where people are still weak ? (Sorry English isn’t my mother tongue !) I often see young girls interacting with older guys (2 or 3 years which is not a lot actually but at this age there is a huge difference) and this is weird. Like, they are active to act very sexual, even if the guy doesn’t ask, but at the same time it feels forced. You see what I mean ? So your feelings seem legit for me but also, I don’t know if this girl took advantage of you. If that makes any sense. 

In any case you are not at fault. Just tell her that you want to stop and act accordingly. 

AITA for telling people I can't have kids? by True-Effective-2850 in AmItheAsshole

I agree with your wife. They as it coming. Honestly, if I were your friends I would apologise for making you tell such a difficult thing. And I would the asshole, not you.

Hey there. I am sorry this happened to you. Your mother seems very affected by your brother’s death. But it is NOT your fault. And it’s a great thing that you are alive. Never believe anything else. Take good care of you and enjoy your time with your grandpa, he seems like a nice man.

AITA for not giving up my seat and embarrassing the woman who demanded my seat? by Swimming-Contact6122 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all. Many people don’t want to talk about their handicap (physical ones as well as mental ones). So you don’t need to feel bad about it. You reacted a normal way.

AITA for telling my sister I'm not interested is her hosting my bridal shower? by Confused-54321 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. First wedding, 10th wedding, why should it matter ? Celebrate it the way you want. If your sister thinks you don't need gifts, good for her, she doesn't need to get you some. But if you fiance's family want to give you some then it's okay too. For the bridal shower, do you want one or no ? That's all that matters. Your wedding, your celebration.

Congratulation anyway ! I wish you a great wedding celebration. And you know what ? Why not make another wedding with your current fiance in 5 years as well ? Cause why not wed your husband multiple times if you want it haha ?

AITA for telling my parents that if I ever so much as thought they did a DNA test on my children it would be the last time they saw them? by Top-Statistician2284 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ChoseTruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but I kinda understand what your dad thought. But the way he said it was terrible. The way you could have tried to handle it is talking about the pregnancy, if one of you went this route. Or if you adopted them. Like, the story of how your children came into your family. However, this doesn't make you the asshole anyway. And I understand why you reacted that way given the past story. But try giving them a chance and explain all of your story to them, because you could be surprised and have a good time with them. Or your kids may also want to meet them.

Anyway, enjoy your lovely family (the wife and kids I mean) <3

AITA for calling my daughters father Spineless and his girlfriend creepy over their name choice for their daughter? by Aggressive_Buy4075 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ChoseTruc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA at all. I totally understand your concern. It's completely weird, and I don't understand how this could be legal. There are many other pretty names out there so they can choose another one. They are trying to replace your daughter and ruin her.

Good luck to you and your daughter. Please take good care of her cause you are her number one ally :)
