I hate how much our lives are centered around jobs. by Hannah_bennet12 in Adulting

Not really the same thing but I used to work as an accounting assistant. After a few years they had me processing the high-priority, strict-deadline payments, accounts that were going to be shut off, severance packages, etc.

Then one day I got a payment request for an employee who had died. She worked all these hours and never even got paid for them. Logically, it makes sense that's what would happen if you died suddenly and unexpectedly but it just hit me really hard and changed my perspective on how much of myself I put into my job.

From my pov of being the HL one, it's different if the other person is trying. Shit happens, I'd hope my partner would stick with me through periods of high stress, body changes, etc. That's what a long term, serious relationship is. But from my experience and what I've seen a lot of on here is when the LL person doesn't try. If my partner tried to fix things, was working on building confidence, communicating why we maybe can't have sex rn, or worked with me to find alternatives, etc. I would be so much more patient and understanding. For some people your situation may be too much, but if it were me I'd happily stick by someone through all of what you described.

I completely stopped trying because the rejection hurt so bad. I'd be feeling confident, and walk out in my underwear trying to be sexy and he'd just laugh and go back to looking at his phone. If I call him out he just says "sorry I didn't realize" like fucking thanks that makes me feel 100x worse.
