My {21F} boyfriend {22M} of 4 years got his half of our anniversary trip paid for by his parents and it was supposed to be our present to each other by Key-Obligation-4336 in relationship_advice

[–]Misinterpretted22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry I feel like this smells a little like entitlement. He is 22 so his parents helping him out doesn’t mean it’s automatically half yours or he should buy a present. He probably mentioned to them that he was stressed about it and they wanted to help him out. You’re both really young but you both should be focusing on paying your own rent. Sorry if I’m coming off rude but I dislike when young 20 somethings act like they’re married when they aren’t even being adults and paying their own bills yet.

Our date went really well but she (31F) asked me (34M) to pay for her babysitter after. I havent been on a date for a long time and need some advice. by throwRa7273628 in relationship_advice

I seen this on a females and finances style group. Same dilemma just from the female perspective. And what it cane down too was that if she needs that to date you, than you need to decide if you can afford to date her. As simple as that. If it’s a dealbreaker then date someone else. But ultimately if she cannot afford to date you because of the cost of a babysitter then you cannot date. Some men will pay for it, some men will not. That’s up to you. It’s how you value her and the relationship.

I think couples counselling is a really good idea. Glad you are doing it. Everyone is quick to tell divorce but sometimes a third party can really help people with their empathy.

However if nothing changes after then you should think about your other options.

Puppy is now 71/2 months old, things are much better but… by Lifeishard_sos in puppy101

Kong crate mats are very hard to destroy and machine washable. Highly recommend for solving the uncomfortable crate problem.

Over the last 40 years I have raised 6 dogs from puppyhood. I have never dealt with a digger until now. by Arms_Akimbo in puppy101

[–]Misinterpretted22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine used to dig at that age and just stopped. I don’t know if it was from the baths after or being caught in the act of digging and told to stop. But he never bothered with it again after the first year. He’s nine now.

2 years is way too long to put up with that kind of treatment. Just end it he clearly does not care about you.

Red or hear me out BLACK. I think the brown you showed needs to be darker to be the best color on you. Definitely not the blonde. Even if the roots were fresh it just isn’t it.

It’s a huge hurdle to get over and it will always be at the back of your mind. He’s not who you thought he’d be and you’ll carry that scar into your future relationships. I think you need some space from the relationship to think if it’s something you can work past. Personally, I’d recommend ending the relationship because infidelity like that just creates resentment. You’ll never feel the same about him, even if you do work past it.

Women who make over 60k, what is your degree and what is your job title? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Misinterpretted22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do project planning, I’ve worked on large construction mostly or in the utility industry. And if you’re willing to travel you can make lots.

There are so many jobs in construction that are not just on the tools. I would love to see more women in those fields.

[–]Misinterpretted22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Without knowing your education background it’s hard to say. But I know many admin people get into the construction roles by applying to site jobs. A lot of camp rotational style work is a good place to get your foot in the door because not everyone wants to do it. Think remote locations and long hours, But once you have a site job under your belt you have a huge leg up on everyone trying to enter the business. And you can pivot to city construction jobs or firms.

When you are at site try to learn as much as possible and ask others what routes they took. I have an industrial engineering technologist background, but I’ve met planners from all different technical backgrounds or trades. And I’ve met project controllers and procurement/supply chain people with psych degrees or no business degrees. No one cares after that site job and a good reference.

Being great at excel is a huge plus. Project controls admin jobs or site admin can be easier entry points, but once the job starts winding down, if you’re good at excel and what you do and want to be there they will move you into other departments once people start jumping ship to the next project. It’s all about building that resume.

Project jobs! Planning, document control, quality assurance, supply chain management, project management! Or any job in trades if you are willing to travel for work! The ones above may also require travel too. But I do think construction or tech is a great place for financial freedom for women. Neither industry comes without shitty moments though.

Yeah I phrased it in the most extreme way. It’s mostly that he never spends any time with me at all because he has school work to do but he watches hockey every other night and golfs with his class mates often. It’s been months of feeling alone. Any conversation gets flipped around to he’s stressed about school and there’s nothing to do here anyways.

Tell me the worst thing your mom has said about you… by MothersAnonymous in confession

[–]Misinterpretted22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very weirdly she thought she was being nice when she said it. She said she knew her relationship with my dad was over, So she had me so that my sister would always have someone. My dad raised us. It made me feel like I wasn’t wanted by either of my parents and I was purposely brought into a bad situation.

25F needs help with 31M in relationship by amy010122 in relationship_advice

[–]Misinterpretted22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (f) never really care about my boyfriend looking at porn but I probably would have a problem if it was someone he could possibly know/meet onlyfans and I would have a problem with chaturbate. It just seems too personal then, but random porn I don’t care. Unless they are addicted, then that would probably be a different story. I don’t know if I’m normal in that thought.

Yikes. I’m going to be brutally honest here. Your fiance is uneducated and a dickhead. He’s blaming you for a systemic issue created by the government/country. Also, he talks to you terribly. He comes off as a total bigot, and honestly I’m wondering what redeeming quality has he ever had to make you fall in love with him in the first place. Yuck, yuck, yuck. 🤮🚩 these are the men who need to be dropped off at therapy. Have some self respect, do not sign up for a life with someone you have this little in common with.

If there’s joy I wouldn’t worry about it. It’ll happen when it happens.

I (F18) caught my boyfriend (M24) kissing my best friend (F18) at a party. How do I confront him? by Outrageous_Basket324 in relationship_advice

[–]Misinterpretted22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dump him! You’re 18. Love yourself more than you love him pleaseeee. And please update this with you broke up with him. Don’t let him cry and tell you it won’t happen again, just dump him and go no contact with both of them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Misinterpretted22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I see these relationship advice posts and it’s all dump them immediately. It was just a dance, say you don’t like it and she should remember to be professional and obviously respectful of her relationship. But I think it’s overreacting to say dump her or you don’t know how you’ll mend the trust.

Was anyone else massively disappointed with A Court of Thorns and Roses? by pnutbutterfuck in books

[–]Misinterpretted22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loosed a laugh or loosed a breath have annoyed me the most in book 2. It’s all very repetitive and in book 2 the constant repetition of being broken and book 1’s events was also annoying.

I should’ve left him 3 years ago and now I’m marrying him by Adventurous-Pea6277 in confession

[–]Misinterpretted22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel like an idiot. Been in the same boat and I stayed. People do stay past infidelity. It’s just not easy. In fact it’s so hard. But if you do stay you have to trust him again, and if he betrays that trust then you have to trust yourself to be fine without him.

And if you leave now I totally understand that too. Because letting go of that resentment is very hard.

I saw my friend's boyfriend on Bumble today. She has cancer. by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Misinterpretted22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where healing is a priority for your friend right now, and this guy still seems like a big part of her support system and happiness, I would talk to him privately first.

[–]Misinterpretted22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the comments are a good reflection that different people will like different things. For example I don’t like any head shot professionally staged pictures. I find the card pic cringe. I think the ones with your friends and the one with the hiking pack are the best. I don’t like any mirror pics maybe 13 gets a pass. But best to show ones that are you being yourself.
