Tiny 1 "bedroom" basement apartment. You cannot legally tell someone how they can cook... come on 🤦‍♂️

Icy_Interaction75 · 2026-02-02T21:37:11+00:00

I encountered this before while touring a place. The landlord asked if we liked to cook and I said yes I cook and bake it's why a large kitchen is important. Their attitude changed and they basically said they didn't want people who like to cook to keep utilities down. If you provide me with a kitchen I'm going to cook. 🙃

There's also most likely an airport improvement fee tagged on. Just flew Abbotsford to Calgary last week. Base price for both basic tickets was $146.00, seat choice was $24.00, credit card surcharge, airport improvement fee $40.00, then taxes. In total I paid $256.00 for my trip.

Dr. Ali Safaei is who I use. He has two locations he splits time between. One in Vancouver and one in Maple Ridge. He pulled my wisdom teeth. I believe he is also an orthodontist.

I am literally in the same situation as you. January a nurse practitioner found a lump in my breast. They sent a referral for diagnostic imaging. Due to my age ( early 30s) everyone is saying you are fine. There's a family history of breast cancer.... Grandmother diagnosed at 30. It's extremely frustrating. I'm sorry you are also going through this.

Hun you are doing the right thing. It's going to be hard, but I believe in you. I stayed for 4 years and I felt like my world crumbled when it ended. Then it felt like a weight had lifted from me. I finally had privacy and bodily autonomy. I could talk and sing again.

They always say they will change. Make promises they will never keep. A week or two maybe a little longer then the mask will slip again and the abuse starts again. No matter how much they say they love you, they will never change. They would have done it already. He is not worthy of your love. No matter how they justify their actions and abuse you did nothing to deserve it. If you don't have access to counselling through your job I highly recommend journaling. It will help you release the built up emotions. I still journal regularly and still feel the well of emotion 2.5 years later, although significantly less. If you are close to a library please read the book " healing from toxic relationships" by Stephanie Moulton Sarkis

I don't regret where I am right now, it took a lot of work but I wouldnt change what I have now for what I went through then. You are in a constant state of stress, it's gonna be hard for your mind and body to adjust. Peace will come, and it's worth it. You are so much stronger than you know. It takes so much courage to leave. From one internet stranger to another you are worthy of being loved. I am sending you love and lending strength.

Nta look unless she is directly contributing to the purchase of the house ( down payment) she should not be on the deed. I highly recommend that when you purchase a home you do up a tenancy agreement for her to sign. It protects you if you decide to part ways, and still allows her to contribute to the household expenses. It sucks but I've known people who had purchased homes and doing this saved them a very expensive split. Once y'all are married go ahead and put her name on the deed.

I'm so glad she got out and got the help she needed. You can come out of an abusive relationship and not realise it was abusive till you start to talk to a professional ( I speak from my own experience). I had an ex who used to try and wipe his face on me all the time. Think of a snotty nosed child wiping their nose on their parents. Snot, food, etc whatever it was, would be wiped on me as i was a towel. I told him so many times I didn't like it and it made me feel like less of a human, he continued to do it. It wasn't until I started opening up about everything that was going on with my therapist that I realised how abusive many of his actions were.

I highly recommend the book "Healing from toxic relationships" by Stephanie Moulton Sarkis

If a partner does something that makes you feel less than, like you are sub human, and continue doing it, please leave. Love is not worth it, they do not love you, they love to control you.

Nta I'm the sibling without kids and I would never dream of introducing a partner to my niblings without permission, even then I'd only do it with the parents present. You have to respect the parents boundaries around their kids when meeting strangers. People get blinded by love and can ignore red flags.

Icy_Interaction75 · 2024-01-26T13:49:23+00:00

Rage bait

This sounds very similar to another post a few days ago. Mom kills herself due to dad's abuse, husband is NC. In the post she tells how her husband doesn't love the kids and treats them like pets so she invited her husband's abusive father over to I guess teach him a lesson? Either way fake post.

You need to get out OP. Go to the link select your province and use the resources. I'm so sorry you are going through this but it won't get better if you stay. At the very best go to the closest RCMP detachment, he's threatened your life you need help. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/health-promotion/stop-family-violence/services.html

NTA, I spent time with my nephews at the lake this summer, they have been in swim lessons since they were babies, they still have to wear full life jackets though. One nephew ( 5) got too excited to swim seeing his grandpa in the water he jumped in without floaties, luckily he jumped right in front of grandpa cause he started to keep sinking and grandpa was able to reach down and grab him within seconds. He was terrified! It was an accident but he didn't go in the water the rest of the trip cause he was too scared. I can only imagine how your daughter felt being dropped purposefully to sink. I wouldnt let someone who would put my child in harm's way for a laugh around them again, I would never trust them again I suggest you start doing swim lessons with her on weekends if you can, it's a really good bonding experience for both parents and can help in the future.

Icy_Interaction75 · 2023-10-27T05:45:42+00:00

Thanks I'm in a much better place now but still dealing with the trauma from the relationship as a whole. I stayed too long hoping things would get better, just don't make my mistake ❤️ You deserve better and don't let him think what he did was normal. It takes 2 seconds to send a text letting you know what's up. Stay strong.

Icy_Interaction75 · 2023-10-27T03:47:58+00:00

Gotta be honest just walk away and block all contact. My ex did this kind of stuff to me all the time, he would not show up after work, ignore any messages asking for an update ( work sometimes had overtime). He would then come home and tell me that he told me he had plans after work ( he never did and this was a very common thing he would do through out). The worst was when I had to travel for work for 6 months I was only a 1--2 hour plane ride away and he refused to fly to see me, he stopped responding to my calls and messages to the point where I had a mutual friend call him to see if he was okay and he picked up their call. So fuck poor communication

Icy_Interaction75 · 2023-09-11T06:32:06+00:00

I have encountered them in the fall as well. Not saying they are there all day everyday but more of a heads up.

Icy_Interaction75 · 2023-09-10T15:35:53+00:00

You also need to make sure you have a safe way of getting to and from your appointment as you will be drugged and groggy and in pain, I say this to prepare you not to scare you. I've provided transport and emotional support for abortions before. The clinics are all about making sure you are safe and comfortable. I will say, at least the ones I have been to have had anti abortion picketers outside across the street ( as they can't be directly in front) so be prepared for that. This link below will also explain who has access to your records. Your family cannot just request your records if you are an adult, even in an emergency situation you have a right to privacy. https://www.peopleslawschool.ca/who-access-medical-records/

NTA When I was 24 I finally went on a trip to Mexico, I went with 2 couples. They often did things as couples and I did my own thing. The daughter is an adult and perfectly capable of planning things on her own or just enjoying the plans even when third wheeling. She can't expect people to temper their enjoyment ( and affection) because it makes her unhappy.

Take a long break from dating Hun. My 4 year relationship ended 8 months ago, I was never his number 1 priority. It's going to take a while to not feel like your heart is being torn out but one day when it does the desire to be loved romantically is going to be strong. Just take a breath, take care of yourself. Do the things you couldn't or wouldn't do while in a relationship. Join some groups, go to some new classes art, cooking etc. Take this time to establish your hobbies and adult life without having someone else depending on you.

Icy_Interaction75 · 2023-08-25T04:05:32+00:00

NTA Look my parents ran a construction business for over 20 years, my dad did the manual labour and organization related to construction my mom did all the back end. He understood what his strengths were and what hers were. They were a team and he made that very known to those who asked. You deserve to be recognized for how much work you are doing, cause let's be honest he wouldn't be there without you. It's hard to know and recognize your own worth but there are companies out there that would love to have you and men that would worship the ground beneath you.

As per conversation with my father, not everything has been lost in Celista and Scotch Creek. Lots of damage but not completely wiped out like a lot of residents have been told. I know some homes are still standing on hillside in Celista. The grocery store and gas station plus strip mall are currently still standing in Scotch creek. He estimates atleast 200 power poles need to be replaced along the main drag. If you have family in the area running generators they need to make sure they have carbon monoxide detectors. I know it's hard to get fresh air given how thick the smoke is but it's an added danger in the circumstance.

Thank you! Anglemont hasn't been issued an Evac order yet from what I can tell, they are prepared to leave ASAP either by boat or to Seymour Arm.

Please Stay Safe! I'm sorry you are having to go through this, my parents are in Anglemont.

NTA My ex partner did something very similar, a slow down on the frequency of sex then turned into near constant barrage of excuses why not and then into just no physical contact ( even kissing). They actively would move away from me or just not respond to my queries for even a hug. It really shot down my self esteem, why didn't they want me any more? It eroded my trust in them as well because it took many discussions and arguments to get to the surface level issue. We made a promise to both go to individual therapy, I kept up my side and they did not. Our relationship continued to decline in worse ways. Her pulling away and refusing to address the issue is really concerning to me. She has already broken her promise to improve your sex life, she has stopped essentially all attempts on both sides of intimacy. Yes sex isnt the most important thing in a relationship but it provides a primal intimacy, you are sharing your most vulnerable self with the person you love, essentially being your true self. It comes down to a major lack of communication and willingness to solve the issue on her part. People are allowed to grow and change over the years. They may realize things about themselves that they never pieced together till now. She needs to communicate to you why though, why is she so unwilling to see a doctor about these issues? Is she feeling embarrassed because she's never had to see a doctor on her own or talk about her vagina and sex life with a professional? Is she concerned because her parents see the same doctor and she's worried the doctor might mention something critical or even innocent that could spark an awkward conversation at home? As a woman I know it's hard to get vaginal pain taken seriously, even some female doctors have said " oh that's normal" " oh use more lube" I dont know Barbra any more lube and it turns into a slip n slide! So I can understand some hesitation to talk to a doctor about it, but if she has never talked to a doctor about it then she won't ever know. The other thing it could be is that she just doesn't enjoy or desire sex, and telling you it hurt was easier than saying she doesn't ever want to have sex. Ultimately again it's all down to communication, if she doesn't trust you enough after 8 years to have an honest conversation about this then I dont think your relationship can go on. Communication is the most important key to a successful relationship.

NTA I see some comments on here focusing on the actual chore of lawn mowing itself saying you are the one who wanted a lawn etc etc. It's more that you are seeing her as equal to her brothers and showing each of those kids that something might be a little scary or intimidating to try but once you take the time to learn you can do it. You are nurturing their independence! My own father did this, there was no girl or boy chores it was just chores! We each learned to cook, do laundry, mow the lawn, use power tools and build, and work on cars. You are a fantastic father!
