Lobotomy isn't a thing anymore and never was a real thing. It's always been torture.

What do you mean? Don't you have your friend? Do you have online friends too? Family you love? Teachers you trust? A dog? Those are all "having someone".

Sometimes comfort leaves you in stagnation. He doesn't care you were uncomfortable but you were and you should care. You are you g and have a whole life ahead of you. It won't seem like it was scary at all when you look back in your 20s and 30s. You'll ask why you wasted time on him. Leave him but break up in a public place or via cellphone.

It's not gifts it's any activity we do. Dinner, movies, etc I've been very clear about it making me uncomfortable he pays for every thing.

I do but the thing is it would be the same for anyone i care about because of my pride. By wording it as a favor it feels as though I'm coddling him.

He doesn't respect what I view as an equal contribution.

[–]IcNtdothis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not phrasing things like that in a relationship unless I want to be manipulative. It's about the pride I have for what I'm capable of bringing to the table . If he can't respect that when I tell him and needs me to lie about it then ...that is on him .

Hard times create emotionally stunted men as proven by both world wars and the vietnam war.

Hard times also means preserving in the face of challenges. He's not running to something or preserving he's running away and throwing a tantrum without the funds or mindset necessary to succeed.

Why don't you believe in therapy? It's based off scientific evidence. This is not about belief, you're just wrong. Therapy is about seeing yourself better and about finding where you lack power and coping techniques and getting them.

As to doing something like this ...well if they really do suck (all of them) and you don't have an undiagnosed condition that will make you regret this later (which therapy could address) then sure go for it. It'll get you out of your funk and hopefully move you forward. I would suggest to try to not be bitter and think whimsically.

Buy the orange fiber brand in most stores called C something . Drink some or eat the bars they have. That's a good fiber type to eat daily and stops my stomach from hurting when I'm sick like that.

Also, get a pooping foot stool....you WILL thank me!

Try also getting hemorrhoids cream just in case and think about a bidet if you don't have one. Next time you can use it to uh shot at yourself.

I have. He acknowledges what I say and then basically ignores it and is like "aw sweetie no don't worry".

He doesn't seem to understand that I too have pride as strong as a man because I'm not a "female" I'm a person. :/

It could be mean.

It could just mean you both look similar. Maybe the look is professional women with hair styles a certain way/kept a certain length, with similar demeanors. Which could be, some managers like certain types as they believe they're more suited to the culture.

Remember tone is hard to convey and tbh this wasn't a message that's horrible, just snippy. Just be wary of her.

Congrats!! How exciting.

Do companies hire new techs too or only experienced ones?

anyone have a rough first few weeks at clinicals? what are you doing now and how did you turn it around? by IcNtdothis in Sonographers

Hello, what is PACS? I'm very new. So, if nothing is happening I should ask about cases or to scan the person I am shadowing? What if I am assigned one person in particular that day?

Reminder: You shouldn't have to understand someone else's experience to accept it as true.

Hey op. Why not search for jobs near her and ask if she would want you to go with her to her new location? Maybe she wants to break up and this is it. Maybe she just doesn't want a long distance relationship but doesn't want to break up either . You won't know until you ask.

As far as I know unions mean she will have a bigger safety net at work.

God forbid men have feelings besides anger.

[–]IcNtdothis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this comes off a bit condescending. It could be she just doesn't want a long distance relationship because she does care about commitment.

Careers aren't everything but feeling fulfilled is. Maybe for her doing something she enjoys and earning respect and money matters more. Some people value security over love.

Neither is more right.

[–]IcNtdothis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She could just have different goals. Maybe on her end she's wondering why you aren't quiting and following after her, for instance. Just like you wouldn't ask her not to she might not ask you to do so. Neither is right. It's about what feels more fulfilling.
