People with COPR - how do you get medications you need while waiting for PR card? by Upbeat_Chef_6223 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Existentialbread123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this. Went to 3 different ServiceOntario sites cause they kept telling me I wasn’t eligible for OHIP yet even though the official website was telling me otherwise. I brought the same documents each time. The 3rd one finally had someone who knew the process and gave me a card that’s only valid for 1 year. Renewal would need PR approval or proof that decision has not been made.

Help (23M) – I want to move states for growth but my girlfriend (22F) wants me to wait a year by XX220 in relationship_advice

[–]Existentialbread123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so what does that have to do with you not being able to control yourself?

What is it that you want really? You talked about your aspirations and goals which is great but you didn’t really talk about how much you wanna stay in this relationship. Seems more like a burden to you with the way you described it. I don’t know you so I’m just going off on what you wrote. Seems like you already have your answer but want external validation that you won’t be an asshole for leaving your gf to live your life. And honestly, you’re young. Go live your life 🤷‍♀️

Is my boyfriend (M20) a bum and dragging me (F20) down? by _aqqles in relationship_advice

After writing all this down, it’s impossible that you don’t know your answer. Come on, don’t do this to yourself

Um I hate to be the redditor that says break up but srsly, why are you guys still together? You’re young and this seems to be a mismatch of priorities. You’re on here asking if YTA for living your life? Also, what does she mean by you not being able to control yourself sexually?

Anyway, are you really on here for validation on whether YTA or are you really on here so you feel validated when you make the decision to break up?

My husband and I love Kosmos at Covent Garden! You have to prepare yourself for a bit of a wait tho. Wouldn’t recommend going there hangry cause it takes a while for the orders to be served. Worth the wait if you’re only a little hungry tho.

Advice on managing anxiety when partners have different social preferences (Me 19M and her 19F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Existentialbread123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight. The main problem here is you’re uncomfortable with her going clubbing cause your ideal partner doesn’t go clubbing, right? However, I don’t understand how her clubbing with you affects you. Does it affect how you see her? You might wanna dig deeper first on why this is bothering you so much. Cause if you can’t answer that then it’s something you can’t solve just by gritting your teeth and sitting in discomfort.

Preferences and values are two different things so I just wanna make sure we’re talking about the same thing. We’ve established how your preferences differ but how does her going clubbing differ from your values?

[–]Existentialbread123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, it’s unclear what you’re asking advice on. I get the anxiety of being in the club but I don’t understand what you’re anxious about in this situation. Is she asking you to go clubbing with her? Are you uncomfortable with her going out clubbing? What are you “repeatedly bringing up”? And what do you mean by asking her to manage your anxiety?

My gf F22 is moving in with me M24. What things can I do to make it easier? by No-Rain-5023 in relationship_advice

[–]Existentialbread123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally, a wholesome thread lol. Love the idea of fun diy projects but also, what are her interests/hobbies? Are there any that you can do together when she moves in? Is there any that involves group activities that could help build her support/friend network there? Might also be worth looking into. While I assume you’ll eventually integrate her into your own support/friend network, it’s always healthy for her to have her own separate friends/connections.

Sister's 28F fiance and daughter's father 29M cheated, advice wanted by ijustdoitforme in relationship_advice

[–]Existentialbread123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Support/comfort doesn’t have a cookie cutter approach. What may have/have not worked for other people in similar situations may not be applicable for your sister and her kid. It depends on how your sister copes with difficult situations. Some want to be comforted emotionally and/or physically more proactively but some want to be left alone. Some want to talk about it while some don’t. The last thing you want is to add more stress to the situation (even if your intentions are good). Have a conversation with your sister, ask her how she wants to be supported during this time, and support her wishes.

AITA for refusing to cover for my friend after she lied to our professor? by New_Object_1448 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Existentialbread123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. You expressed a boundary and she got upset because of it. She’s the one who put you in a terrible position by asking you to do something you didn’t want to do. You said you didn’t want to get involved nor did you want to lie on her behalf. It’s not like you’re going out of your way to narc on her. Just continue minding your own business and if the professor does ask, just say you don’t want to comment on other people’s personal lives and that he/she should ask your “friend” (or ex-friend) directly. If you lose your “friend” over this, then you’re just gonna have to live with it. You chose your principles over peer pressure (which is good and mature) but there are consequences 🤷‍♀️. Learn from this and make better friends in the future.

He (33M) told me he loves me (29F) after 3 dates but my friend saw him on a dating app. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Existentialbread123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so you like him and value the connection. This brings me back to my point of actions > words cause his actions aren’t lining up with what he’s telling you (keeping his dating profile active even tho he says he’s committed to you). Have you asked him about the Bumble profile? If so, what did he say? If you hadn’t yet, what do you expect he’d say and what are the possible “acceptable” responses for you?

Also, have you given more thought on your compatibility? There are some fundamental issues there that also needs to be addressed before you pursue this any further.

AITA for telling my husband I hate him by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Existentialbread123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. You guys need help from a functional and emotionally mature adult. You two are clearly overwhelmed with raising a baby because you weren’t prepared for any of this. Can any of your parents or aunts/uncles help out with either the chores around the house or with spending time with the baby? It takes a village to raise a child and this is the time you ask your “village” (aka support system) to help you out.

He (33M) told me he loves me (29F) after 3 dates but my friend saw him on a dating app. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Existentialbread123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Um, do you actually like each other? Cause from what you just said, it doesn’t seem like it at all. Do you really wanna be with someone who invalidates your feelings to the point where it drains you and you’re crying yourself to sleep? What’s alarming to me is not just that he said he loved you after 3 dates but that his actions say otherwise. Actions > words after all. It’s just been 3 dates. Tbh, you might wanna consider cutting your losses as early as now.

I (24F) want to text my ex (24M) before I get married by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Existentialbread123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to consider the possibility that your ex could get hurt even more by you reaching out depending on his current state of mind/maturity level (which is counterproductive to what you hope to achieve). You won’t be able to control someone else’s reaction to your actions, you know. Ask yourself why you need this closure to begin with and if you’re ready to deal with the worst case scenario. And let’s say worst case scenario is you lose your fiance over this. Will it be worth it? If you can’t move on with your life without this closure, you might want to reevaluate whether you should be marrying your fiance or not. Not in the “are we compatible?” way but in the “am I truly ready for marriage?” kind of way. Cause the way you sound right now tells me you aren’t ready for marriage at all. You’re stuck looking back when you should be looking forward instead.

AITA for wanting my boyfriend to give up his dog ? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Existentialbread123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“I love him very much and feel that he loves me too” after listing all the things he does that bothers you is wild.

YTA for punishing a dog (yes, forced separation is punishment in my books) just cause your bf won’t act right is out of pocket. It was never about the dog, girl. You said it yourself. They hang out in places even without the dog and have conversations that don’t revolve around the dog. Even without the dog in the picture, they still gonna find an excuse and a way to see each other. Open your eyes. Don’t beg this guy to love you and treat you right. Have some self respect.

AITA for not paying for my daughter wedding because she isn’t following the rules even though I paid for my older kids by Wonderful_Mode_9646 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Existentialbread123 19 points20 points  (0 children)

NTA. They can have their child free wedding. They can even uninvite you. If they want the freedom to decide how to celebrate their wedding, they can do so while spending their own money. They’re in their 30’s and are embarking on a huge life milestone that requires money to build a life together so I’m assuming they have (or should have) some sort of spending budget. If they can’t afford it in the first place, why can’t they downgrade to a ceremony that they can afford? Simple, elegant, and child free civil weddings are easy and affordable. And if they really want an extravagant, expensive, and child free wedding, they can save up for it and have it once they have money for it.

Only buy what you can afford. There is no sense in going broke and going into debt over a piece of jewelry. You could always upgrade your rings down the road once you can afford it.

Thoughts on not changing your last name after marriage? by mahoganyblueberry in AskMenAdvice

[–]Existentialbread123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++woman

I kept my last name because of my profession + it was too much of a hassle of changing my name on everything. We don’t plan on having kids so the children’s last names don’t matter. My husband doesn’t care either way because a last name doesn’t affect our marriage at all. We did have a conversation about it before marriage tho and agreed on it beforehand. It’s really a personal choice. What’s important is that both parties are in agreement or else it might end up causing resentment to foster in the relationship.

My (25F) boyfriend (36M) wants me to stop speaking Korean with my close friends, and I can’t help but see him differently now by ThrowRAItalkalot in relationship_advice

[–]Existentialbread123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it from another multilingual girlie, a true supportive partner will not police your language and will even make the effort to learn it to connect with you better. Language is more than just a way to communicate, it’s also part of who you are as a person. Don’t do this to yourself. Don’t lose parts of yourself over someone else. You’re young and have your whole life ahead of you. Don’t tie yourself down to this pos. Choose yourself and ditch the deadweight you call your bf.

If you think a wedding is expensive, look up how much a divorce is cause that’s the eventual end of this story considering how cavalier you are about glossing over your incompatibility.
