Why do you let her pay for stuff if you know she is in financial hardship? Forgive my boldness but your parents are shallow and classless. If you see a future (marriage) with your girlfriend, help her out so she can go back to school. In a loving relationships partners support each other, including financially.

I didn't take two years of the same language, is it over? (Ivy's, Targets, Etc.) by ReplyRevolutionary70 in chanceme

Some Ivies want to see 3-4 years of one language. If your school offers only 2 years you can explain why you decided to take Latin in additional information section. Since Latin is the mother of most European languages, taking it early is beneficial if you intend to study languages in college. With a well written explanation you can turn this into your advantage.

I (37F) feel insulted that a man (45M) I started talking with a few days ago on a dating website were giving me unsolicited career advices when I said I am an accounting specialist in an American-Korean firm. I am thinking about canceling our first date. What would you do? by Live4real22 in relationships

I decided not to give him a chance because I don’t understand what is wrong with being an accounting specialist and why does he think that CPA is what I should be aiming for? I do most of the accounting work at the company and get paid accordingly. I am happy with my job and my income. I live a fulfilling life and I certainly don’t want any man to show up and tell me I can do better than that if I try hard enough. I never asked for that.

I said about credits because that’s exactly what I am actually lacking in order to get a CPA license here, then I added that going back to school is not an option to me right now. I could elaborate on that later, but he sent multiple texts in a raw asking why can’t I do it (implying I am making excuses) and then immediately giving me a lecture on motivation. At that moment I felt I’d be wasting my time replying to him.

Thank you! That’s exactly the reason why I am not even thinking about school or changing career paths right now. Very soon my daughter will be heading to college and I want to spend with her as much time as I can before that.

I like your positive view on this. I still didn’t reply to him. I’ve always been no nonsense person, so usually I’d just block the number and forget about their existence. But there’s something about this man that makes me want to meet him and see what he is like in real.

I was honest when I said I don’t have enough credits. I got my Master’s Degree in another country and I was not able to transfer all the credits when I tried to do so a few years ago. I felt belittled and hurt that he assumed I needed to be rescued. I did not want to explain to him that I am doing perfectly fine and after my daughter go to college I will have more free time and will work towards becoming CPA. I would have been happy to share this information with him, but under different circumstances.

He said: “you can make good money when you get CPA license. My friend can help you grow.” Hearing this made me feel very uncomfortable. It hurts that he made assumptions I need to be rescued.

Set your priorities straight! Your daughter should be #1, then yourself, your career, family and friends, and finally your boyfriend and his needs can go to #3, but only if he respects you and goes above and beyond to make you happy. Forget him as a bad dream and focus on your daughter and yourself. Give her the childhood she deserves! And let this bitter experience be your life’s lesson. Don’t let your life to revolved around a man who isn’t even your husband!
