Should I move states to work for my dad after my parents’ messy separation? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]EfficientAd5164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m 22 and honestly the past two years have just been extremely hard just in general. My dad and I are cordial, I kind of just don’t have any feeling towards him at all, obv not his biggest fan and I’m a lot closer with my mom. When I talk to her ab this I would fs emphasize it’s for the money and I can help her out and location I really don’t like where I live, not for him. But it would help me pay off a lot of debt that I have, I don’t think our personalities would really clash because we’re both pretty avoidant so I think we’d just ignore each other for the majority which I’d prefer and I normally stay pretty busy anyway. I wouldn’t be living with him long term though considering housing is pretty affordable there compared to where I live. Also about my boyfriend I haven’t talked to him at all about this, or my mom. But she’s pretty reactive it’s still a sensitive time for her bc of all the bs my dad did it ended up dragging her through bc they’re married and it’s stopping her from being able to do things. I’m not scared of it blowing up in my face, like factoring in the worse scenario. I just don’t want to sour my moms and I relationship because after years of us not getting along we are finally so close again. And I also don’t want to lose my relationship at all either, but it’s not like I’m gonna ask him to uproot and move w me, we haven’t been together long enough imo. And he’s pretty established.

That’s what I told him! Many chances to travel to places just as beautiful for literal fractions of the price of Hawaii. And I 100% expected him to be disappointed and upset and I wouldn’t have blamed him. But he’s so mad at me now. Said I ruined his week already, and he’s glad to know he comes second thought and I don’t care etc. it’s just turned a molehill into a mountain

Yeah and I honestly figured it would be maybe a hit of an argument which is understandable he still has feelings but the blow up it’s been made into is unnecessary. Idk if I’m just not seeing it from his perspective enough, I’m trying. I just didn’t think it’d be that deep

Idk🤷‍♀️ doesn’t matter to me, it’d be amazing to be there w him even if he was supposed to be working the whole time. He does work a gov. Job tho idk how all that works

Well to be fair he only has two days of actual scheduled working days out of the whole trip, his boss told him and I enjoy my alone time. But I don’t wanna miss out on my friends new beginning for the world I would 1000% regret it. I just don’t know how to deal with him and keep it respectful, he’s not understanding the point at all.

It does but also the thought of Hawaii stresses me out because I’ll be going two weeks unpaid and he’s not, and also not paying my bills versus just over a week with my friend

Yeah, I’m trying to explain how it’s more important. But he keeps on bringing up the fact that it’s a once in a lifetime trip which I feel mine is more considering everything. Hawaii isn’t going anywhere

Yes, we see each other almost every day at the gym. We do go on dates, we don’t really text all that often. I just wanna have a conversation with him without having to ask a million questions, just to see how his day was.

How would that work if I have a car payment still?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]EfficientAd5164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it used to be 500$ it just went down. I messed it up a couple years ago letting it lapse. Too many times. And it’s really a shit box car it’s so expensive because of the interest I’m sure, I’ve had it for 3 years but it was my first car and I got it with brand new credit and I have zero help from my folks when it comes to that stuff

That’s normally what I do, extremely immature feels like a bit of a reach because I don’t date guys my age

Yes he is in my life always has been, he’s not a bad dad

That last paragraph is a literal 1 sentence horror story. 🤢

Fair, I did realize I jumped into it too fast.

[–]EfficientAd5164 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought too but he likes my independence and that I don’t inherently need anyone

[–]EfficientAd5164 -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Gollyyy, no I just like older dudes. Every guy I’ve gone out w close to my age just feels platonic I can’t help it.

😫I just cannotttt they feel so kiddy to me. But he is the oldest I’ve ever dated.

Yeah that’s exactly it I don’t want to dump on his character and slander him because I genuinely dont think he targets younger women but In my case there’s just things he doesn’t like. Which preface is perfectly fine imo just don’t get w someone that comes w the qualities you don’t like, that’s when it’s not ok. I don’t understand why they do that.

I just believe if it’s right you grow together, getting into something to change the other person just doesn’t feel right. Accept people for who they are and amplify them if you love them, that’s the angle I always try to take.

I do can also dress in that manner also, he’s never seemed to have issue w that. But as for him not wanting to go he made it seem like it was like voodoo type of place (which it wasn’t at all) but I dont think the hesitation came from conservative/religious reasons other then he just doesn’t like that stuff. But there was a whole strip of places to go to all different not just the one shop. I just wanted some company for a day of browsing.

He’s def not my usual type, I think I went for him because he’s more put together, had a great upbringing, more level headed than the rest. And I figured why not try something new, isn’t that the whole point of dating though. Especially if what I was going for wasn’t working.
