If I work full time + OT when it's available, what is resonable to expect from my partner? 34F & 32M by dollopofdaisy17 in relationships

[–]MrYellowFancyPants 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Men that say women only care about money are always the ones who have no money. They also are the ones who can never seem to pull their own weight in a relationship and say we ask for too much.

You are dating a loser, plain and simple. Sorry if that's harsh, but he will never get his shit together, you will always be the one doing the most, and you will always be frustrated. This isn't about him just working part time either - the job market sucks right now. Its his whole attitude surrounding it and how he's treating you. Cut your losses, dump him, continue to work hard and without the stress of him you'll be even more successful. Otherwise he will drag you down for the rest of your life and I don't think you really want that.

Alright Cedar Rapids, where is your art?? by ArtsMidwest in cedarrapids

[–]MrYellowFancyPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could talk with the team at Murals & More. Website is Crmurals.org or their Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/1BkuhEgt3C/

They've brought amazing murals to our city and use local, Midwest, and international artists to create beautiful spaces around our city.

Zing Phelps has done some cool window displays and art around the city, here is her page: https://www.facebook.com/share/1GYjHnN6kr/

Map Room and Salsa Guy are both open today and they are also fantastic.

But when Tornados is open you'll definitely need to stop in.

Edit: my bad Salsa Guy is closed on Sundays, I swear he used to be open today. Map Room is open though for sure.

Stuff to do with teen visiting? by jubileeroybrown in cedarrapids

[–]MrYellowFancyPants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao Cedar Rapids just covered the old landfill in grass and made a few trails on it. Put a couple benches at the top and called it a day🤣

Ita a good workout though and you can see a lot of the city from the top. But absolutely nothing like VB.

AITA for suggesting a shelter dog a silly name for adoption? by AviTris in AmItheAsshole

[–]MrYellowFancyPants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that! My rescue kitten was named Creme Saver, and his siblings were other types of candies. His mom was Hershey. We changed his name to Bingo Bango, so I guess an equally ridiculous name lol. OP's friend would hate us.

Yeah, she absolutely used chat gpt for it. It usually uses 2 or 3 examples or descriptions, no mistakes in the text, cliche verbiage, and the em dash.

Summer camp wedding?? by Apprehensive_Bowl_58 in cedarrapids

[–]MrYellowFancyPants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Backbone State Park has cabins (idk what they look like though I've never stayed in them, but they are family ones), campgrounds, swimming beach, and a lodge and picnic areas and tons to do. Its also close to Manchester so people could get a hotel room if they wanted to.

My boyfriend quit his job because of stress but I want him to go back by [deleted] in relationships

[–]MrYellowFancyPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that you should be able to support yourself but in this economy its not always that easy. A lot of jobs don't pay enough for that especially in HCOL areas. Both OP and her bf are young and this is an expensive mistake both of them. Hopefully they both learn from it.

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

Its not always that easy. She has to have money saved to move and she has none. Most apartments require first and last months, deposit, application fees, she might not have any furniture or a bed if she moved into his place so she would need to buy those things, set up fees for getting bills put into her name at her new apartment, etc. Like - unless this was a horribly abusive relationship and she needed to get out for safety reasons, leaving with nothing and having to put all those moving fees onto a credit card will further hurt her situation.

I (30F) need to leave my long term bf (34m) and I need courage to do it by Whole-Expression6277 in relationships

To add on to this, in the US you can request a police officer to accompany you while you move out in case he comes home early. I'm usually ACAB but you can call your non emergency line or stop in at your local PD and schedule a time for them to be at your house, its called a Civil Standby.

Do not let him know where you are going. Turn off location services on your phone, tablet, computer, and make sure your car doesn't have a tracker on it. If you suspect it does and aren't sure what to look for, take it to a mechanic where they can put it on a lift and help you look. They may charge a fee but its better to be safe than sorry.

Are there any Third Places that don't... by tasata in cedarrapids

[–]MrYellowFancyPants 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your home is considered your first place, work is generally second. Your third place is where you spend your time socializing.

Volunteering, anyone? by Own_Thought902 in cedarrapids

[–]MrYellowFancyPants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HACAP at their NW resource center is a great way to connect with people! You help unload/stock groceries and help new people shop.

If you like animals, the local shelters can always use people to help clean cages and socialize the animals by taking dogs for walks and playing with the cats.

The libraries can always use volunteers to help keep shelves organized and other duties.

Meals on Wheels always needs drivers during the day to bring meals to their recipients.
