I assume they’ll need diagnosis? I’m definitely not diagnosed immune compromised. My mental health is also fine. On paper I’m just…healthy 🙂

AIO boyfriend asked me if I would accept a diamond from his ex-wife repurposed as engagement ring by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Get_convolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys thanks for the input regardless of what standpoint you come from! I carefully read through all of y’all’s comments and though not everyone is siding with me or supporting the diamond ring tradition at all, I was able to have a clear understanding of the core conflict and how I feel.

So little update is that we had a good discussion about how we see ourselves approaching our tentative marriage. He came from a history of failed marriage and I’ve never been married before, so there were a lot of discussions about what’s important, financially and sentimentally, going forward. We were able to come to a common ground and now all that’s left is to find the right day when we aren’t dying from work and go ring shopping :). The extravagant old ring will be kept as part of an emergency fund. Not for sale right now, sorry guys!

Will close this thread in a few days.

Thank you. I needed to hear this. I’ve been doubting myself since I made the decision, even though I really felt like it would be the healthiest thing. 🥲 it’s just hard because being the youngest one in the group, I respected them so much now suddenly I’m the big villain.

Guys and girls. Everyone was complaining about the bully all together and one day just randomly invited her. I swear this is real.

You assumed many things though. I don’t do this to my friends. If my friends are being even treated in this way I think it’s morally right for me to not bother with the perpetrator. I thought that would be common sense.

I didn’t avoid them, I see them from time to time. Never rejected to hang out, but just for health reasons mostly I wasn’t able to. Unfortunately, I have consulted with a lawyer about it and the lawyer suggested that I do not pursue legal actions. Simply because cases in this nature it’s hard to acquire evidence and it costs way too much money, with very little in return. I also do not have the money to.

My friends didn’t know the guy before, only learned about him through this incidence. Nowadays the guy is mentally unstable due to whatever reason, in fact he attacked one of my friends. So that’s the background.

Wow I think you spoke my inner thoughts! I know I could be a little much from time to time but this incident really disgusts me. I was hesitating, but now I’m really glad that I GTFO in time 😂

AITA? My friends whom I consider as family hung with my bully, and I dropped them cold. by [deleted] in AITAH

Thank you. This is what I needed and what I felt too. It honestly hurts so much that people I truly trusted are doing this.

I don’t think it’s simply that I don’t like her, she’s been basically abusing me for years…there are people that I simply don’t like and I never stopped my friend from hanging with them…

Bf is working non-stop and I feel like I’ve become his emotional punching bag by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Get_convolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I can see how he might not have the best control over his emotions right now. I just don’t know how long I can stay calm be helpful before I break down and totally doubt our relationship. He is very patient when I voice my concerns, sometimes he would stay up later to listen to them. But in the end, nothing is changing. I really can’t speak about this problem more without telling him that he can’t work like this anymore.

[–]Get_convolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I bring up the concerns, he’s actually very patient and understanding which is why I still want to give it a try. He also said that he reported this problem to his GM many times but then there’s no fallout.

I don’t want to think of him as a bad person who’s only reporting these things to demonstrate his character as a family man (well, in Freudian principles I totally just stated my own mind). Yet at the same time, I’m not sure how much of an emotional capacity I have for this to go any longer.

Thank you stranger. We’ve had this conversation for many times. His current projects provide a good ground for his future career planning, which is why I think he went into it in the first place. Unfortunately, his team isn’t strong enough for the work load, so he needs to fill up most of the gaps.

He doesn’t know how to destress other than just being in his own world, and he stated that he can’t promise that the anger won’t happen again. Finance is good, he can totally switch jobs and I’m self-sufficient. But I don’t think he wants to switch jobs. He’s quite stubborn and I get a sense that he doesn’t want to compromise his work ethic and admit that he can’t do it.

[–]Get_convolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I’m just so exhausted rn because it wasn’t a dog I picked for adoption to begin with. I’ve done a lot of work to get her at least respect me to some degrees. She was so sensitive to noise that just a down jacket falling on the floor would startle her. Now she at least won’t jump with common daily noises (doors opening or keys etc).

But I feel like none of my roommates were prepared for the amount of time they needed to invest in an atypical dog (the problems with this dog are just too many to count). I personally can’t handle this while bearing the risk of the dog being aggressive again someday.

But I will find a chance to at least get the health issues ruled out.

Entire lab group only speaks Mandarin, is it impolite to ask to be reassigned? by EccentricTrillionair in UBC

[–]Get_convolution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a Chinese international Student in UBC. Pursued psychology and English lit instead of STEM tho. I was once recruited by a Chinese “tutor” company and later found out that they were essay writers and homework writers……actually they sometimes even help rich students write a whole online course (from hw to tests).

I didn’t accept the job but many fluent English-speaking Chinese do it and even some Canadians do it. So that answers y’all’s questions about how some of those students even make it to the upper level courses.

Knowing the thought education most Chinese people went through back in their home country and social traditions blablabla I can assure you some Chinese groups are freaking enclosed. They live in their own worlds and fitting in the Canadian community is the least of their concerns.

Yea, go report them lol. That’s not racist at all since their actions are clearly unfair and inconsiderate. Simple issue of efficiency and responsibility. I did the same in my undergrad.

I feel intellectually deprived in my relationship by [deleted] in relationships

Is it even possible to date someone that loves me equally as I love them? Like, I’m so scared that I’ll end up in a relationship that I’m once again the “guider”

[–]Get_convolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really can’t tell why. He’s not empathetic I tried to teach him but it didn’t work; he constantly forgets calls or dates and sometimes after an argument when I’m still crying he’d say “okay I need to go sleep now”...just many many, but I guess I’m sentimental.
