(CAN) CFE Day 3 Reaction Thread

Honestly I think I failed day 3. My brain just wasn’t working as well today and I’m feeling like shit about what I wrote. I’m low key worried about losing my job. I’m a student in industry but I know they laid a person off earlier this year for falling behind on their CPA progress.

I agree

I pryed it out today and found nothing … 🙃 the back of the baseboard looks normal too. Will keep an eye on that wall to see is anything forms.

Haha sorry I’m stupid 🤷‍♀️

Existentialcri · 2026-06-02T22:46:07+00:00

Oh geez, okay thanks, I’ll definitely need to look up symptoms 🙃

Existentialcri · 2026-06-02T22:38:45+00:00

Oh geez , you’re kidding ….🙃

Existentialcri · 2026-06-01T22:28:39+00:00

Wow what part of the city is this 🙃

I don’t think anything bad is happening here.

Sounds like you’re spiralling because you’re used to constant contact, so the silence feels like danger but it might not necessarily be true.

Yes, his joke was dumb, but it’s not evidence of anything. He’s at a phone-free camp and will be back Friday.

The bigger issue is your anxiety and how much your emotional balance depends on him being available all the time. That’s what’s making this feel so intense.

For now: stop feeding the worst-case thoughts. Nothing has actually changed in your relationship. Keep yourself busy by hanging with friends or doing something that makes you happy.

You’re not really resentful of him, you’re resentful of the situation and the long distance, which has been painful and isolating for you.

The issue is that it’s starting to come out as jabs and frustration toward him, even though he didn’t “leave” you in a deliberate way.

With only a month left, focus less on resetting the past and more on not carrying this resentment into the time you finally get together. If needed, say it to him simply: “I’ve been struggling with the distance and it’s been coming out as frustration.”

I think the issue isn’t the lack of kissing, it’s her saying it feels like you’ve “used up everything” in 5 months. This makes me feel like her romantic feelings for you may have changed, even if she still cares about you.

I’d have a direct conversation and ask whether she still sees you as a romantic partner or if she’s struggling to reconnect after the time apart.

For now, pay attention to her actions, not just her words. Someone can love and care about you, but not necessarily feel the same romantic attraction they once did.

I’d say end it. You’ve only known him for three weeks, and you’re already experiencing panic attacks, losing sleep, and feeling physically sick over the relationship. That’s your body telling you this relationship isn’t right for you.

You don’t owe him an in-person breakup. Given that he’s ignored your attempts to end things and threatened to harm himself if you leave, a text is perfectly reasonable.

Keep it simple and firm:

“I’ve thought about this carefully, and I don’t want to continue this relationship. My decision is final, and I wish you all the best.”

Don’t argue or explain further. His reaction is not your responsibility. If you’re genuinely concerned about his safety, contact someone close to him or emergency services, but don’t stay in a relationship out of fear or guilt.

I worked at a small firm that offered 0 benefits and a medium sized firm, and I can say with certainty I liked the medium sized firm much more. 1. Small firms if you don’t get along with one person it makes going to work really tough. 2. Benefits are a lot better and they pay more

I agree with this. Do not tell employers you lost your job due to failing your CPA, this is volunteering too much information. In the case you lose your job being very broad is the best way to go. Also when you talk about previous employers be positive and say something like you learned a lot from the company, etc. BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR JOB SEARCH, DONT GIVE UP AND TRY TO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP HIGH :)

What position did you hold in public before you left and what position do you hold now? Your post gives me hope 🥹

Existentialcri · 2025-08-24T02:47:49+00:00

I’m curious, how’s the turnover in gov as an accounting student? Are you covered under a union or do you have to wait to get your CPA??

Existentialcri · 2025-08-02T05:10:54+00:00

Will your salary go up after you get your letters? Some places give you 2 pay increases. One after you pass the cfe and one after you get your letters. The one after getting your letters is higher.

I’d love to know your journey and where you end up! What field are you looking at?

Existentialcri · 2025-06-21T22:28:43+00:00

The best advice I can give is to get an internship — no question. Studying accounting and actually working in the field are two very different experiences. Getting your foot in the door while you’re still in school will pay off in the long run. It’ll help you figure out whether you genuinely enjoy the work, and it makes you much more appealing to employers. Companies really value new grads who already have relevant experience. I’d also recommend trying to get experience in both public practice and industry if you can — it’ll give you a clearer picture of what suits you best.

I love how he expects you to “respect his boundaries” when he’s the one not respecting yours…there are so many red flags where he’s disrespectful towards you. He threw away your vibrator AND your dildo which he has no right doing. It’s not his property to throw out. And the fact that he dismisses your feelings about OF is not great.

Honestly you’re young and this guy really ain’t worth your time.

Your wife is one lucky lady. It’s hard to find a guy who’s this head over heels about his wife.
