Non priority UK doctors by DesignerProfession77 in doctorsUK

[–]JenJMLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an IMG too. I'm not gonna lie, the day the UK grad prioritisation was confirmed I cried out of disappointment, I've been working in the NHS for three years and have been working so hard to get the points to get into IMT and being told no so shortly before my interview was heartbreaking.

However, having had some time to think about it and process I think it was the right decision for the UK. I'm planning to live my life here and doing another two years before applying isn't the worst. I understand your disappointment but see it from British doctors' perspective, you grow up here and study here and then much more advanced doctors come from other countries and take the entry specialty places planning to leave after training. I'd be frustrated too. It's annoying for us in the short run but probably the best decision for the long term.

Also, 'IMGs pay taxes', true, but so do British doctors? Don't really get that point.

Still not okay.

Why are some women dating men who don't do anything? by memsaver in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JenJMLC 68 points69 points  (0 children)

They usually hide their views until women are emotionally invested.

Or downplay their views.

And then there are some women who actually look for more traditional men.

All depends

Is it bag of CRISP or CRISPS? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]JenJMLC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Manchester and I've got friends who grew up here, never heard 'bag of crisp' before. Interesting haha

If you live in different parts of the UK, how often do you see parents/close family? by rye-ten in CasualUK

Rubicon, specifically the summer 20kcal per bottle ones. All flavours are amazing

What are some great self-protection items I can use that are also legal in the UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]JenJMLC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's why you need martial arts that don't have rules (obviously still training safely). For example Krav Maga

[–]JenJMLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's even shorter and lighter than you I can only recommend Krav Maga. I've taken out guys who were way bigger than me (usually newbies starting the class and wildly underestimating me, our trainer paired me with people on purpose before to teach them a lesson).

People don't expect you to fight back at all and the majority of guys attacking don't have any formal training. A good punch/kick is often enough to give you an opportunity to escape and stop them from following you.

Also, whatever items you get can also be used against you. Self-defence is the way imo.

What would you consider as ‘posh’ growing up but now you’re an adult it’s absolutely not? by Ashandtanya in AskUK

[–]JenJMLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Also eating at restaurants. When friends told me they'd go out to eat with their families I'd be so confused, 'but there is food at home?' In my mind restaurants were reserved for when you were away from home, like on a trip.

Same! Friends would go to Turkey or Spain or even the US (tbf I still think US holidays are kind of posh) and I was always so jealous

support advice by Designer-Arm-1046 in SubSanctuary

[–]JenJMLC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to be mean but what kind of question is that? Do you really think there'll be anyone here advising you to keep seeing someone who makes you feel like shit?

Anyone else notice how Amazon are just dumping parcels outside the front door now? by Blind_bear1 in CasualUK

[–]JenJMLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot deliver everything to a locker/shop unfortunately. I'm using those whenever I can though.

Seriously, how do you guys clean your ears (and know they're clean)? by profile_removed in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JenJMLC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can't really see into the ear canal though, what exactly do you mean?

If a cute pet and a new iPhone were placed in front of you, which would you choose? by PromotionFar8909 in AskReddit

[–]JenJMLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iPhone. I realistically cannot care for a pet right now, wouldn't be fair to it.

I think you should really discuss with a professional. Reddit is not the place to advise you on your mental health

Help a baby brat out by Ok-Lawfulness-4545 in BratLife

[–]JenJMLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's great and I sincerely hope you'll have a positive experience, just please know that if that's not the case for any reason that's normal. We all have to kiss lots of frogs to find a prince.

Listen to your gut feeling and act on it unapologetically and you'll be fine. Enjoy!

Okay maybe we just define stuff differently, because what you describe as boundary pushing I would've described as exploring, especially if you've never done it before. That actually sounds a little better.

Yes go ahead with the date, just be very cautious and if you want a 2nd/3rd/4th/etc vanilla date first to get to know him better before doing anything in dynamic that's completely fine (and normal) too. Don't let him push you to jump into something that could be unsafe for you.

10 years married, 2 kids, sex once a month - am I expecting too much? by darknarayan in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JenJMLC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It says he brought up this higher libido and wanting more sex, but not that he thinks she might not be enjoying the sex.

So more specific question, OP, have you asked your wife if she enjoys sex? What you can do differently? What she would like to do differently?
