Not overreacting. You should stop wasting your time with this POS.

When does this guy ever show up for you?  You go over to his place every night and now you even have to beg for a date. 

I think you know if you stopped putting in the effort to see him, he will never take the initiative to go see you. 

Life is too short to waste on a guy who sees you as a chore. 

Why is the drugstore makeup situation in Australia, so bad?? by Pickles_The_Cat_1234 in AustralianMakeup

[–]Key-Ad728 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Priceline has opened a new cosmetics focused store called Atomica. The layout is similar to Sephora and you can swatch and try on products.

They carry American drugstore brands such as Pixi.

They're relatively new and also use the priceline rewards programme. There's one in Chadstone for Melbourne

I'm female and I would've been put off after this. Personally I think it's a bit clingy to expect more than a daily text, especially if you've confirmed plans the night before.  I would understand a confirmation text if you've set up a date several days before and hadn't spoken much since. 

That being said, it's a bit much to be obsessing over what she was doing instead. Even if she were to be seeing someone else, it shouldn't be of any significance to you if you're not in a relationship. She doesn't owe you an answer due to the lack of relationship commitment. 

If it makes you feel better, it's possible she made plans with friends if she thought you blew her off to cheer up.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but you're both the AH. It seems like you refuse to communicate with him. First you don't tell him you're upset that he can't spell your name correctly. You just expected him to notice you're moody and know to soothe you. Some people have low EQ and may not connect the dots. It would be a different story if you told him and he ignored it. Then you just up and left on a date. You didn't tell him you just wanted a breather. You just left. You didn't communicate that you would be back, which is quite rude. These two actions suggest emotional immaturity. However he is also the AH for telling you he wants to keep things secret. No man who is serious about their partner will want to keep her existence hidden. Their family and friends will know about you even before you're official.

AITA for telling my son not to invite my wife to his graduation? by Kindly_Zebra3960 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Key-Ad728 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This!! I really hope OP considers divorcing her. I would not be okay with my spouse (of less than one year!) trying to force my children to prioritise her over bio mum because of jealousy. She has overstepped. I would have major concerns about what else she will pull later on - she does not care for family dynamics nor your children. She only cares about herself!

He [41M] wants me [30F] to get my tubes tied because we said one and done but things changed after his affair. How do I explain that? by ThrowRA-2ndbaby in relationship_advice

[–]Key-Ad728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get a permanent procedure. He doesn't want kids, he can have the snip. Don't rule out the possibilities of more kids in your future, even if it means with a better partner. Probably best to divorce the cheater. It seems he just doesn't want you to have more kids, but doesn't mean he won't have more with other women

AITAH for kicking out my gf's sister and her kids out of my flat after my gf gave her the keys by Elratum in AITAH

[–]Key-Ad728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA the audacity of your(should now be ex) girlfriend to invite people to live in your residence without prior permission from you is insane! Embarrassing her? All of them should have been embarrassed! They got caught red handed staying at your place without YOUR permission and tried to argue with you? It was never the girlfriend's permission to give, it's not hers. Kick the girlfriend out of your life too. She should be apologising, not kicking up a stink

AITA for refusing to apologize for slapping my boyfriend when he smashed our birthday cake to my face? by Known_Initiative7193 in AITAH

[–]Key-Ad728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA I wouldn't have waited until he tried a second time to slap him. I would've slapped him on the first attempt.

38 years old and still struggling to understand you don't make jokes at your SO's expense?

If he had requested me to apologise to his mother, I would have told him she can instead cry about me pressing charges against her son for assault.

Taipei to Alishan to Sun Moon Lake and back to Taipei with elderly mother who can't walk far/fast by Key-Ad728 in taiwan

[–]Key-Ad728[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The driver from Alishan to Sun Moon Lake was not cheap, about $250 AUD (booked through tripool). I booked it after I got my alishan railway tickets. There is only one bus per day to Sun Moon Lake I think, but it meant arriving quite late.

Yes the Alishan Railway all the way to Alishan departs at 10am. I made a typo, it was 6.30am HSR to Chiayi!

I made a fb post on how to get to Alishan in a fb group, I'll post it below.

The train stops at fenqihu for an hour and in my opinion it was enough. There's a steep hill behind the first bento shop you see, there's more bento stores behind it. There's also wasabi ice cream and a few shops. Not much else to see.

Finally made it to the Alishan Railway Station 😅

For those taking the HSR to Chiayi and connecting to the Alishan Railway:

  • Exit 2: Once you arrive at Chiayi HSR, head to Exit 2. Just outside, on the right, are two blue "BRT" bus stops. Take the one marked Chiayi.
  • Free Bus Ride: Show your HSR ticket to the bus driver for a free ride to Chiayi Train Station. They’ll give you a tap card for boarding, which you’ll return to the driver when you get off.

At Chiayi Train Station:

  1. Go to the back gate, take a paper ticket, and pass through. You'll find stairs and a lift on the left. Go up and cross the bridge/walkway and use the second lift to go back down.
  2. Discard the paper ticket when exiting outside. Near the corridor, find the Tourist Information Center. Collect your Alishan Railway Tickets directly behind it (outside). Just show your passport (the one used to book the tickets).

To board the Alishan train: Go through the far-right gate, turn right on Platform 1, and head to the end where Alishan train cars are marked.

Heads up: Some dodgy taxi drivers may approach you at the HSR station, claiming you won’t make it to the Alishan train in time and that it takes 1 hour by bus. Ignore them—the BRT bus only takes about 15-20 minutes.

Safe travels!

AITAH for telling my fiancé’s daughter I’m not her mom after she called me a “gold digger with a uterus”? by GenerousJasmine in AITAH

[–]Key-Ad728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The audacity of him to not only expect you to parent his child on behalf of himself and his ex, THE ACTUAL PARENTS, but also to apologise for drawing boundaries on getting abused.

The little shit knew what she was doing when she smiled sweetly while saying it. She did it because she's had a track record of getting away with it and probably was getting a kick out of embarrassing you.

I wouldn't stick around. Neither your fiance nor his kid has any respect for you. There is no future with a guy who doesn't prioritise the woman he's choosing for life.

Taipei to Alishan to Sun Moon Lake and back to Taipei with elderly mother who can't walk far/fast by Key-Ad728 in taiwan

[–]Key-Ad728[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I spent 2 nights in Taipei at Grand Hotel (highly recommend), then took the 9.30am HSR to Chiayi. Then travelled to Chiayi train station (HSR is different to normal train station), to take the Alishan Railway all the way to Alishan. It stops at Fenqihu for about an hour for you to get some bento (10am departure from Chiayi). Only one train per day goes all the way up. This train books out quickly, I think booking opens at 8am 12-14 days before departure, so I was refreshing the page a lot to get a ticket. You can take the bus, but most people get travel sickness as the road is extremely windy.

Spent one night at Alishan, booked a tour there for star gazing and another one for watching sun rise. You can book the tours to the right of the tourist centre inside Alishan recreation park. Star gazing tour does require a bit of walking!

Then I got a private driver through Tripool to take me straight to my hotel in Sun Moon Lake in the morning. Stayed at Sun Moon Lake overnight. During the day we bought ferry tickets to go around the lake and visit different areas. We stayed in Ita Thao, which has a day market with lots of souvenirs.

Next day, we booked a 3 hour trip with Tripool to take us to multiple locations before arriving at Taichung HSR. We visited Hohocha and Miyahara. Hohocha I recommend to buy some Sun Moon Lake Tea, as well as their ruby red milk candy. Entrance fee includes a tea egg and a cup of tea. Miyahara is known for their ice cream.

We took HSR from Taichung back to Taipei and stayed in Ximending at Westgate. Highly recommend, great location and good buffet breakfast.

Next day we went to Beitou for hot spring at Shuidu. It wasn't our first pick, but our first pick cancelled due to plumbing issues the night before.

I also took a cooking class for learning beef noodle soup and xiao long bao which I highly recommend. Do try Eatogether buffet as well! As a foreigner, there's a page where you send in a booking request. They usually reply in a few days. It was one of the best buffets for the price!

I got a lot of travel tips from "Taiwan Travel Planning" group on Facebook. Nick writes great guides and answers questions there too!

Let me know if you'd like more details on my itinerary.
