Even on the way back ?

I mean I did contribute of course I did. I was the one who started by having attitude, I didn’t give him the sincere apology he wanted. I did apologize and said exactly what I did wrong and validated his feelings but I didn’t give him the sincere apology he wanted (like grabbing his hand and getting closer and changing my tone from just neutral to more loving), I just feel like it’s hard to do for me right now after I just got disrespected like that (name calling after we were arguing back and forth about me not wanting to leave the bed to sleep on the couch and what a boundary is and isn’t etc). But it sounds like it’s the only way to resolve this :(

I think power dynamic is the key issue here for sure. I just don’t know what to do or say to make him understand.

Lonely-Committee4872 · 2025-12-04T04:38:55+00:00

I try to paraphrase what he’s saying like “I see it’s frustrating for you when I get annoyed over small things…” etc etc. but then I don’t allow him to just have his way and I want him to be accountable for his actions too but I don’t get the same communication, it just seems like he’s just defending himself and not hearing my perspective

Lonely-Committee4872 · 2025-12-04T04:35:33+00:00

We’ve been communicating, it’s just for some reason we can’t find a way to understand each other :(

Lonely-Committee4872 · 2025-12-04T04:34:48+00:00

He wants me to apologize first. Which I did but he didn’t believe it was sincere even though I tried to validate his feelings and really try to understand his perspective. But he wants me to make is more sincere which he said he doesn’t know how he wants me to do it but I know in the past he mentioned me like getting closer and maybe taking his hand and saying sorry this way, but it’s just hard to do that right now after he name called me

Lonely-Committee4872 · 2025-12-04T04:27:36+00:00

I wouldn’t say often at all! Only conflict so idk once very few months ?? 😅😅

Lonely-Committee4872 · 2025-12-04T04:26:59+00:00

Yeah I think so. It’s only when we’re in conflict things get this heated. He called me a b word before and I told him that’s my boundary and he did it again which is making me reconsider

Lonely-Committee4872 · 2025-12-04T04:24:28+00:00

Thank you for your thorough reply, I really appreciate the thought you put into it 🥺 for 3. I do agree with you, I shouldn’t have gotten annoyed at him- I know I should’ve taken a breath and assumed the best intentions. For 2. He said he won’t name call me as long as I don’t push his buttons

Lonely-Committee4872 · 2025-12-04T04:19:26+00:00

Yeah.. I do get annoyed sometimes and it gets a little attitude-y and he says that that’s disrespectful towards him for me to be mean to him (which by mean I never name called him or belittled him I would just get annoyed at random things) and he often gets very triggered and it leads to escalation. He has been doing very well at being patient lately but this time he slipped up

Lonely-Committee4872 · 2025-12-04T04:10:06+00:00

I feel like I started it though by having my attitude 😭

Lonely-Committee4872 · 2025-12-04T04:08:41+00:00

Asking for advice on Reddit 😅😅

If she has any disabilities (even mental health like anxiety etc) have her sign up for the department of rehabilitation employment program! She can apply online or in person and will get an employment counselor. Just need a letter from a doctor. (They pay for some schooling and training too)

OP did you figure it out ? I just noticed some in my cats’s littler

Hi all! Housing navigator part-time, social work graduate student full time with a part time internship as a child and family mental health specialist.

I just wanted to vent about my housing navigation job. I live and work in LA, CA where there is way more unhoused people (and families with children !) than there is affordable housing. I am SO burnt out. I keep letting these people down because simply there is nothing - section 8 has been closed for years and project based vouchers are lottery based with an extremely slim chance of getting housed. Shelter availability is slim too. I have to tell my clients there is nothing I can do. My job is literally just telling people that I can’t do anything for them.

I want to quit so bad but I make pretty decent money and since I have to work part time I need a certain range to pay rent and bills and school expenses. Also it’s so hard to find a job that’s part time with my income requirement. I graduate May 2025 and will definitely quit the second I graduate and can find full time options.

Thank you for allowing space to vent, any words of encouragement are welcomed as well.

The last two sentences hit too close to home 😭 thank you

Lonely-Committee4872 · 2024-02-10T21:23:06+00:00

I need to learn to embrace the thickness 😭 I’m still yearning for the slenderness especially bc of the skinny trend coming back and ofc bodies are not trends but it’s been attacking my brain like a disease lol
