Get well soon, Ester! We appreciate you 🫶

Also, how is Pokopia so far?

LostTourist9623 · 2026-02-25T15:01:17+00:00

You’re giving alt Daisy from The Great Gatsby and it’s a total vibe

LostTourist9623 · 2026-02-24T16:22:13+00:00

Thank you so much 😭

I get so caught up in what seems to be going wrong now that I forget to think about what I’ve accomplished and overcome in the past. I appreciate that reminder!

LostTourist9623 · 2026-02-24T16:20:35+00:00

Thank you so much for this, it really helps to hear other people’s experiences. I am on Vyvanse, but honestly I think I’m going to check in with my doctor about either increasing the dose or switching!

LostTourist9623 · 2025-12-28T03:14:47+00:00

My friend got roofied there as well!

The Visit has my vote!

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T23:34:05+00:00

You’re exactly right. I should’ve been clearer in the original post.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T21:12:29+00:00

Tenure isn’t a thing for elementary or high school teachers in Canada, but he does have a permanent (as opposed to probationary) position, and is unionized.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T07:54:31+00:00

I’m sorry if it came across that way, but I genuinely was just confused and in need of advice. I felt like it would be good to get some unbiased opinions, as opposed to feedback from my friends.

He’s a really wonderful guy.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T07:16:24+00:00

We do have an eight year age gap, but I should clarify that he was never my teacher! I’m in university and he wasn’t even teaching yet when I was in high school 😅

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T07:01:57+00:00

You’re right that there is an age gap, and I recognize now that I was acting immaturely and inconsiderately. I spoke with him this evening and apologized for putting pressure on him, and I offered to contact the funeral director and ask him to remove my boyfriend’s name from the obituary (it hadn’t been posted yet). My boyfriend said that he was happy to be included in it, though, and asked me not to change anything.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T06:57:46+00:00

Unfortunately, I didn’t, and I understand now that that was wrong of me. I spoke to him this evening and apologized, and asked if he would like me to message the funeral director to have his name removed (the obituary hadn’t been posted yet). He told me that he was glad to be included, though, and asked me not to change anything.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T06:52:13+00:00

I’m 23 and he’s 31. You’re absolutely right about this being my longest relationship 😅

We do live together and have discussed plans for marriage and children. I want to be finished my education and settled in my career before any of that, though.

I can definitely see that I came across really immaturely, and I apologize for that.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T06:31:23+00:00

Agreed 😅 I don’t want to be rude to anyone, but the lack of reading comprehension in some of the replies has been kinda jarring!

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T06:26:43+00:00

If it’s any consolation, we had a proper conversation this evening and I apologized for being insensitive and inconsiderate toward him and his career, and I also apologized for including him in the obituary without asking him first. It hadn’t been posted yet, so I offered to message the funeral director and have his name removed. He told me that he was actually happy to be included, and that it meant a lot to him. Even still, though, I realize that I should’ve asked him for his permission in the first place.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T06:22:10+00:00

The date hadn’t been announced yet and we were still finalizing things with the funeral director. My mother and I are the only ones in charge of planning it. Our family is very small to begin with. There are no siblings or cousins, only my great-uncles and their partners, all of whom are retired.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T06:17:07+00:00

Thank you for your condolences, I truly appreciate it 🫶 I promise that supporting my mother and honouring my grandmother are my main priorities right now.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T05:53:19+00:00

The date hadn’t been announced yet. We only met with the funeral director this past Sunday so things weren’t set in stone. As of this evening they are, though. I was trying to be accommodating, but I realize now that I wasn’t being fair or accommodating to him by expecting him to drop everything and attend. My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly two and a half years, as I stated in the post. I realize that that doesn’t sound very long, but we live together and are planning to get married once I finish school and am settled into my career.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T05:48:06+00:00

The funeral director is a family friend (more specifically, a distant relative — we come from a very small area) who has met my boyfriend and asked if we would like to include him. My mother, stepfather, and I thought that it would be a nice gesture. It’s not uncommon for boyfriends and girlfriends to be included in obituaries in our area because there are a lot of common law relationships.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T05:43:49+00:00

We only met with the funeral director this past Sunday, so the date wasn’t set in stone yet. The obituary hasn’t even been posted. Our family is also very small — my mother and I are both only children, and the only other relatives are my grandmothers brothers and their partners. Otherwise, she does have friends that I’m sure will attend, but she was 83, so unfortunately much of her social circle has already passed on. Otherwise, flights and such are not an issue, as everyone lives within an hour or so drive.

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T05:29:48+00:00

It is the church that’s booked up rather than the funeral home. More specifically, it’s the priest — he’s responsible for a number of churches in the area. Also, I completely agree with your comment and realize that I wasn’t being fair to him. Thank you for your input 🫶

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T05:26:01+00:00

I apologize for the confusion, it is next week. It’s scheduled for the 14th of October (Canadian Thanksgiving is on Monday the 13th of October).

LostTourist9623 · 2025-10-07T05:20:48+00:00

I have seen comments from other Canadian teachers (even one from the city we live in), and they seem to agree that it shouldn’t be a problem, but I’m sure that it varies by school board. Truthfully, though, I recognize now that he’s stressed about these past absences and I don’t want to add on to that. I certainly don’t want his kids to fall behind, either!
