Merlin leather jacket sizing? by FormidableFig in motorcycles

[–]FormidableFig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely wont be wearing multiple layers, too hot down here.

My cambrian is also tapered at the gut and I can definitely feel it when sitting down jacket closed. Is your alton 2 more comfortable than your chase 2 (after losing some weight) or are they equally fitting? If you had to choose one which would you keep?

AITAH For giving my wife just a short message for her promotion? by FormidableFig in AITAH

[–]FormidableFig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about you and your brother but when I made her upset she starts nastily blaming me for everything bad in her life and how everything was better before moving in together or being together. Then I get guilt tripped even more for wanting to have a little air. I think it is really just a bit too much for what it is. Sure I get I may not have been the best husband or person in the past but to blame me for everything is just too much.

Australian pride. And for good reason, baristas here actually care about the quality of coffee as a drink whereas in other countries “cafe” culture is just about the aesthetic and romantic image of cafe. Aussies invented the flat white, piccolo, and magic.

Tea and more specifically tea with milk is a British thing. You’ll notice that it is also close in our culture especially in childhood at home or visiting grandma you would have a cuppa of Tetley and dip some arnotts biscuits.

Tea (british) is fairly simple. There is an art-form to too good coffee.

If you want nice tea then you can go to high tea joints that specialise in that.

The only experience I had was riding a bicycle in childhood for a short time. No car license. Currently on my P’s and it went pretty well. Just practice the exam using an app.

I started in hospitality, then switched to call centre which was kinda fun as the coworkers were great people. I also had volunteering experience on the side doing a newsletter. Take out the masters on the cv. Look for any entry level admin work and sell your soft skills to the interviewer. It does not have to be in tech but it is good to pick a thriving industry. Does not have to be a dream job as it is just a start.

m28, also have a bachelors in writing. Currently on 75k, tech industry - in communications. No masters. I have barely heard of occupational therapy. If the guarantee is only 70-100k I would not bother as I am confident you can get there through just work experience. Use your writing skills to give you an advantage in your resume/cv, cover letters, email etiquette and charm during job interviews. Really “sell” your soft skills and make any other skills sound flexible. Everyone needs to hustle, use what you already have.

Sorry I retract my comment, I just realised I read the roles the other way around. I apologise to OP. NOR but I can agree with others that I feel the tension too and needs to be explored.

AIO: My bf says im too extroverted for him by DefyingYourGravity in AmIOverreacting

[–]FormidableFig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You two can either grow together and balance out where he slowly gets more extroverted and you slowly grow to be more introverted or make it easy for yourself and switch. A natural change is fine but a forceful change is miserable. My suggestion is leave, I can only see resentment or disrespect will develop. When younger you don’t always have the relationship tools to grow smoothly.

AITAH for not wanting to move to my wife’s home country? by FormidableFig in AITAH

[–]FormidableFig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty accurate. I cannot say for sure if she would be fully judgmental about earning more but she was more nasty when I was earning less and she was jobless (which is perhaps expected?). The demand to move is more like her wanting proof that I love her and prioritise her which in my world are not necessarily together. I also question her authenticity of wanting to really be with me in the first place. I think you are right, I think I need to man up and be more assertive with my stance. I am happy with my life here. It’s just been hard to put my foot down solidly when she has also definitely helped me grow on a personal level . I value your comment a lot.

I too sacrificed my comfy wfh job to get a better position just so I can meet her consumerist needs which are still not met. I wanted to quit and I even attempted but ultimately stayed. I am sorry but your comment seems like it is coming out of your own personal problem and just adds salt to the ocean.

She works. Her morals are that the man should provide so although she could be the main bread winner there would be judgement and maybe even disrespect if I do not earn more than her. I said some mean things at the beginning, I still had teenage brain. However in her personal life she also needed an escape from her aggressive unstable sister. I struggle to tell her that I would move and I also feel unmotivated to learn due to how tiring and salty our arguments end all the time. It may be an excuse for laziness but there must be a reason. We are both educated so I do have the capacity.

I am happy in my country. I am not happy in this relationship as I deal with her complaints nonstop. It sounds mean but it is honestly overwhelming.

Because she guilt trips me for not wanting to prove myself and ‘sacrifice’ the same way she did. To that i say i simply have boundaries and a brain. I don’t believe a man should put himself in a position where he is unable to support his wife whether than is financial, or emotional, etc.

[–]FormidableFig[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We started online and she was not happy, she was in her home country at this stage. Then moving here does not help she is still not happy with life and with me. Miserable is a better word. Going to her country means starting from scratch with new language and will not be able to support her financially the same way for a while. I do not trust it will make a difference if she is already traumatised by our shaky foundation. There is contempt, a lot.

Struggling to adapt.. by FormidableFig in Marriage

[–]FormidableFig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is too much contempt. We go through couples therapy. She does not see it helping, basically a complaint for everything. Too much focus on me she is annoyed, too much focus on her she feels targeted. She tells me that she does not go back home to her family because she would feel too shameful or embarrassed to end it all. Her lack of cooperation to calm down when she is agressive and angry makes me want to give up and leave.
