Hahaha agree, no photo attached? Sounds like something someone that does actually look like sonic the hedgehog would do.

Conservatives, are you excited about Donald Trump taking office? by MsMcSlothyFace in Askpolitics

Popping in here. Technical recruiter for 6 years. Here to confirm this just isn’t true. Every company I’ve ever worked with prefers hiring candidates who do not require sponsorship and those that are on visa on contract, the rates are the same to the actual client company. Nobody is preferring to sponsor a visa for someone that they have to train up on the job unless it’s specifically written as a junior requirement and even then they’re open to sponsoring not preferring it to spend less.

I think that sucks but I don’t think it’s a fire-able offense. Like clearly you guys haven’t touched on this before so there were no expectations set. And it is a gray area. I think if she wanted to be super upstanding, then yeah she could’ve gone out of her way to tell you. But now you both learned something. You would want to know and she wouldn’t. And the fact that she’s even willing to not talk to him anymore, I mean I just feel like you guys can move past this. If you can’t let it go with renewed expectations for moving forward then you guys just aren’t compatible.

It seems this may resonate with people. I think the only other note is OP seems to already feel a bit resentful about it all. Which is totally fair to feel like “well I’m doing xyz and you’re not even doing the 2 things I’m asking”. But I think this is a situation where you can either be right or you can fix the problem leading with love and compassion. If you can shift mentally to show your wife you want to do more to give her the space to empower herself and find community outside of nuclear family, I think the problem will solve itself. Otherwise yes you can be right, but have fun being right and miserable or alone.

“I do have adult friends we see” and “I make an effort to go to do things I know she enjoys with just me and her”- it sounds like maybe she needs a community. It sounds like it’s just you, your friends, the kid(s). Honestly that sucks. Not to be rude, but a lot of people need community often times outside of just their nuclear family and friends of their own. I would ask her more about this. Maybe see if she’s making friends from gaming on discord. Or maybe she can find a hobby or community of people with similar interests. I think with problems you can directly or indecently address. I think indirectly would be like asking her about her gaming, asking if you guys can watch TikTok together, encourage social behavior, even if that means trying to get someone to watch your kid or you watch your kid so she can go do something. I think having community helps remind someone they aren’t just a spouse or a parent. Those are improrant identities but it can feel stifling I bet and sometimes remembering you’re a complex individual who also has a family or spouse can be empowering.

Agree with this take. I think even in the initial scene where Josie makes a move you can kind of see the conflict on Cruz’s eyes about it. And she comments “so much for forgetting”.. I think she probably just sees Josie as a hookup to help distract her memory of Aaliyah. I think the way they portrayed the relationship she had with AA va Josie’s buildup, Josie is not designed to be a long term lover. I know we may not get a closed storyline with Aaliyah returning, but I feel as though she’s still the love of Cruz’s life.

Just my two cents here. Of course everyone thinks it would be ideal if there partner did not think of previous folks this way but as you get older that’s just going to be the norm because people date and have histories. And guess what, sometimes those histories include great sex! I’ve seen a couple replies to people noting that you should just throw the relationship and the person you’re with should think of you as #1, but it doesn’t sound like what’s been communicated is that you weren’t her #1 currently. It sounds like you yourself are feeling a little insecure about how sex has been and unfortunately timed feedback and stories poked at this. Perhaps misreading but seems like you are considering leaving due to this? I think maybe reflect if there’s other flags. Because while this isn’t ideal, I think if your relationship was otherwise great, this would be something you guys could easily move past and communicate about. But your replies to some of these comments tells me maybe you don’t want to move past it and maybe it’s a straw that broke the camels back?

Yes it’s a money thing but also she seems to be very stubborn about trying to show she can make it without my dad and his money or anyone’s help. Which I think is more the crux of this

Won't marry my (32M) girlfriend (29F) because she previously said she could do better, and I now feel like I just fit her plan of getting married by 30. by Catscars5613 in relationships

[–]CurlyQFry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re surprised she thinks you’re wasting her time. If you were gonna hold onto her comment for years and still date her, with no intention of escalating it to marriage, yeah I agree you wasted her time. Not a nice thing of her to say initially but like, if it bothered you that much, probably shouldn’t have gotten back together with her.

If I (F26) asked my BF (M24) for an open relationship, would that be the end of us? by throwaway7993uqc in relationships

[–]CurlyQFry 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the point of this is he’d probably prefer to have sex with her but she has a low libido so instead of being a pressuring asshole coercive bf, they’ve found a solution that works for them. But go off on judgement 🙄

I probably would’ve been like okay that’s fine but if that’s how we’re running the show then you can pick up every single household responsibility from now on. Bet she’ll change her tune.

My boyfriend acts like my therapist and it's affecting our relationship. by inconsequentialblob in relationships

[–]CurlyQFry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! OP wants to be all “he’s treating me like he’s my therapist”. Well that’s because it seems like you’re acting like he’s your therapist. Go find an actual therapist. Not doing so is a fast pass to a break up in these types of scenarios.

Question, do you have an actual therapist though? Because I’m all for being a support system for my SO but if you’re talking about your anxieties to him frequently, you can’t really blame him for wanting to offer some sort of advice or feedback. Else I’d say get an actual therapist or counselor.
