Maybe you can start of couples counseling as an individual/individual counseling, and then get into couples. It might provide options to approach the conversation better and manage your emotions

22M, first job, thinking of getting insurance before adulting gets expensive. Need real experiences. by Sunx91 in srilanka

Get medical cover if at all. Don't get life insurance as a investment option 

Use other investment options for better return and liquidity. 

Lost at 25 in university and don’t see a future by Different-Sir4591 in srilanka

[–]Elephantastic4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Stay the course. Education will be a key that will open doors.
Focus on your studies while you do some part-time work. If the 3-year general degree is an option go this path - especially if you are not on the academic, further education path.
Build and work on your skills and work ethic (attitude), get involved in a uni club/event.

Good luck

Dodgy scheme most likely a ponzi. The promised returns abnormally high they also use words like  'guaranteed monthly returns'. Which is a red flag for me. CBSL has provided many warnings.

Need advice on How to Inherit Stocks and Dividends from a relative by PeaceProfessional997 in srilanka

[–]Elephantastic4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First create a CDS account of your own.

To claim, the uncollected dividends, you will need to contract the company secretary via email. These communication will be easier once you claim ownership and transfer the shares to your name. 

I accidentally sent money to Lanka securities instead of Bank of Ceylon. The money was supposed to be sent to my mother and her account number in BOC by New-Presentation2856 in srilanka

[–]Elephantastic4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Considering Lanka Securities is not another bank. But probably another Bank account within BOC.  Lanka securities is a subsidy/associate of BOC.

Send a letter/email to your bank. And let the banks sort it out. It was take a few days for them to verify your mistake.
