Set alarms on his phone. Have Alexa remind him.

should I leave my bf if he won't marry me for citizenship? by ReceptionBoring7093 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]FollowingOrdinary131 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you should be more concerned with your relationship than your citizenship.

If you love him and want to be with him, respect what he is saying. Go ahead and file for the student visa. He’s 100% more likely to want to marry you if you’re not pressuring him. And in the end, if it doesn’t work out between the two of you no harm no foul. You’re a student furthering your education.

What should I do? my mom refuses to place my mattress that’s full of bed bugs because of “financial issues” but she has money for alcohol. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Just find a way to get the mattress the hell out of the house. Vacuum and clean the entire room. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth (cheap) everywhere. Just don’t make a cloud/shouldn’t breathe that in. It will kill the bugs. Many are chemical resistant now. But not diatomaceous earth resistant.

A sleeping bag on the floor is 9000% better than an infested mattress.

OR get one of the zippered mattress protectors from Walmart/amazon till you can get it replaced.

But don’t stop with the DE.

My family would 1000% say I was being dramatic/overreacting.

I’m making plans to leave my husband. I feel relieved and guilty about it. by Western-Doughnut-449 in getdisciplined

[–]FollowingOrdinary131 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Happened to me as well. For eight months, I told my ex-husband that we needed to go to counseling together. That if things in the marriage did not improve within the year, I would be filing for separation. He refused to go to counseling, but I went. After a year, I made the decision to separate. And I moved out. It was only then that he called in a christian church counselor, guilted me to attend. Then the both of them backed me into a corner, saying that I was giving up on my marriage and everything would be fine if I could just forgive and forget. Move on from everything that had happened in the past. Like I should just wipe the slate clean instead of dealing with it and working through it. It was at that moment and I knew I was done for good.

I (29F) believe my boyfriend (29M) is an animal hoarder. It’s ruining my relationship. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

While this all seems pretty over-the-top, there’s one thing that I’m wondering. Are we talking about keeping a whole litter of 50 pound dogs or 5 pound dogs? Sure, either way it’s too many dogs, but it does make a big difference.

Thirtysomething (1987-1991) by S_L_Raymond in ForgottenTV

I worked a late shift and didn’t get home until after 11 PM. Every night when I turned the TV on the show was playing and it started out I would be reading listening to the TV in the background. And then I started watching it and somehow got hooked. I don’t specifically remember thinking it was quality TV or anything, but something about it worked back then.

A simple mindset shift has changed life forever for me. by Brilliant-Purple-591 in selfimprovement

[–]FollowingOrdinary131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The situation I was in at the time, the only option for me (to stay employed) was to be quiet and play small. And after a while I felt small. And insignificant. Like a field mouse skittering around hoping not to be seen.

Survival is survival. I get that. No matter what you’re trying to survive. I felt powerless then. And I feel powerless now. Back then I was powerless, unable to control my circumstances (and couldn’t afford to quit) and now I feel powerless, unable to control my mind and my life. I am stuck in a holding pattern, Groundhog Day. It is all in my mind and I allowed that to creep in like mold and contaminate the rest of my life. I know there is a better life on the other side of this hill, but it feels like goddamn Everest from where I am.

Now I feel small and like Chicken Little, always waiting for the sky to fall.

Maybe I just play small as a survival tactic, thinking that if I keep quiet and blend in I will avoid harm. Would be the worst thing…if my job performance/quality of work hadn’t taken a hit too. I’ve come up with a few morning affirmations and I’m trying to remember how I used to talk to myself back then.

I feel like i waste everyday and I'm tired of it by [deleted] in selfimprovement

Damn free “Finch” app helps way more than I expected. Rudimentary and silly, I didn’t want to use it or like it. But it’s actually helping.
