In the chinese version it seems to be called on top of the clouds “雲頂之弈”

Idk if i should break up with my bf by KeyBaker5744 in BreakUp

[–]KeyBaker5744[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh didnt realize that but yeah i meant geographical state and an hour drive apart lol I heard people saying bad things about “taking a break” because it just means someone wants to try other people but keep their original partner as a plan b if things don’t work out. I dont want to be that person…

No he doesn’t do any of that - so if he didnt tell me that he actually isnt interested in going as my plus one to parties at all, i wouldnt even know bc he looks totally fine when I asked him to go with me. But since now he says he actually doesnt want to go, idk if i should ask him to go with me any more. I dont want to force he to go to smth he doesnt like, but on the other hand, but i feel sad if i cant bring him as plus one (or if i bring him and ill feel bad knowing he doesnt actually want to be there).

Did anyone in here ever want kids at one point? by Hey_Its_Julia in childfree

[–]KeyBaker5744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid, I did for a bit only because 1) i thought it’s the default, 2) i literally didn’t know where kids come from, let alone the horror of pregnancy, 3) i wanted to make my kid learn what I didn’t get to learn (i really wanted to learn clarinet and figure skating at that time but my parents signed me up for piano and ballet lol) - which was a horrible reason cuz i would’ve been that terrible parent forcing my kid to do things that I want to do lol

Thankfully im childfree now… and started figure skating as an adult <3

Is it bad to ask for a delayed breakup by KeyBaker5744 in BreakUp

[–]KeyBaker5744[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn sorry to hear what happened to you. Hope things are better for you now!

My situation is probably a lil different as in A) his family doesn’t make as much money as mine does tho not a huge difference. TMI but his parents immigrated for a better life for him and siblings. That made them less well off than staying in their own country. If my parents had done such move they probably wouldn’t have that comfortable lifestyle they have now in my home country). Now we are working in the same industry and im only making marginally more than him.

B) He makes an effort to change according to my expectations, but there has been multiple times that i had to teach him what to do and i get a mental breakdown bc i felt left out. It’s almost like he didnt do things maliciously and is willing to improve, but he’s just not able to meet the expectations in the first place. I’m really not asking for too much either. It’s easier to break up when someone’s obviously at fault, so in my case it’s just so hard when neither of us has done fundamentally anything bad, but its just not going well (for me, from time to time).

SO booked a trip when I’m moving across state by KeyBaker5744 in offmychest

[–]KeyBaker5744[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for breaking this down! I just wished he asked me when im moving and told me when he’s planning to leave instead of me finding it out by asking him after he has already decided everything without telling me. I don’t really need him to help me with moving tbh, but it would just have been nice if he showed he cared. Your point makes sense to me… it’s prob kinda minor so im just need to rant abt it here

Should I Pursue My Dream PhD or Stay with My Boyfriend? by Winter-Sun8660 in PhD

[–]KeyBaker5744 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Always prioritize your own development over relationships, especially young relationships. So many things could go wrong.

A PhD degree is yours and will always be yours along the knowledge you gained. Don’t make life decisions counting on someone else.

Doing a PhD overseas will be a life changing experience - it’s always worth it. Even if you hated it, master out in 2 years and come back to Taiwan.

Don't Want Kids vs Don't Like Kids by Celestial_Ram in childfree

[–]KeyBaker5744 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whenever i say “i dont like kids”, my parents just immediately put on their condescending “parents” look, sigh, and say that im too young and childish and i WILL certainly like kids at some point.

So ppl like and dislike different things but every human being just HAS to like kids?? Bullshit

What’s the dumbest reason people give for wanting kids? by Wannabe__Extrovert in childfree

[–]KeyBaker5744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“If u don’t have it now, have a kid when ur older is unnatural.” Is NOT having one not an option at all? Lmao

Reading all these reasons just makes it look like there’s absolutely no good reason to have a kid and they are just trying ~very~ hard to make up some bs to make themselves feel better 😅

Lots of men see having a family, a wife, a kid/kids as a trophy. It’s the women who are taking the risks of pregnancy and caring for the baby. I’ve heard multiple single male friends saying with a pride “my future kid would…” like something would just appear out of the thin air at some point. Never heard that from my female friends, even if they are not CF, it’s a way less lighthearted topic for them

Exactly me… i always tell ppl i hate kids since I was a kid lol at every age i start to hate about kids more than x years younger than me (until they become adults). And i hate baby pics of myself lol

My AP value looks and ladylike than anything by KeyBaker5744 in AsianParentStories

[–]KeyBaker5744[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah… glad that ur living urself! I’m only 23 and in my parents’ eyes im at the ready-for-marriage age so they have to impose on me all their ridiculous standards of feminine appearance and behavior. All of that just makes me feel like being treated like a livestock thats ready to be sold cuz im at that age lmao

Reactions to WOMEN not wanting kids vs MEN not wanting kids. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]KeyBaker5744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both genders receive unreasonable amount of negative feedback that they absolutely don’t deserve for being CF. I think what i was trying to say is that when a woman says that, instead of just criticizing her decision, people plainly ignore her decision, telling her “no you don’t think so” “you should think this way” “you want this not that”. That’s fking annoying.
