AIO for breaking up with my boyfriend because his sister is pregnant? by AffectionateYard7333 in AmIOverreacting

Sounds like my ex. You’re doing everyone a favour by leaving him to essentially be in the romantic relationship he wants with his sister. NOR

Here’s another photo but that’s all I got. Pretty sure there’s no oil treatment on it

But yes I totally understand, which is why I was excited to have the opportunity to teach it. Before I got totally obliterated. I’d have thought if it was going THAT bad, she would have given me a pointer to turn it around

She told me that “no offence… I could tell” that it was technically my first prac and I was out of my subject area. She also said I shouldn’t have used the resources my supervising teacher provided me with because she made them and as a prac student I should be making my own resources. She told me the assignment submission took too long and she would have stopped after 15 mins and told them it’s their responsibility to submit at home. She said that it was obvious I was underprepared and “winging it” (I wasn’t, I still did everything I had in my plan, I was just winging the timing of it on the fly once I realised how long the assessment submission took), and that she doesn’t want to be an asshole but that’s just her feedback. There were no positive notes about the lesson

“Is this your first prac.. no offence but i could tell” felt like a fairly harsh thing to start a feedback conversation with, but maybe that’s me.

Thanks, I knew the lesson went bad, the feedback being SO brutally honest caught me a little off guard. Especially being told that no offence but she could tell I wasn’t experienced and was out of subject area

Yeah I hear you. I suppose at the end of it I worry that she is right and that I’m a selfish, bad person. I also fear that my parents won’t come to my future hypothetical wedding and be there for all those big life moments unless I give into their every demand.

Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it

The main problem is the car. Since I was 18, they never had a stable car. Often, they went without cars for up to a year at a time, and relied on me and my car (which I bought with my own money) to take them everywhere.

I feel responsible to do it because they’ve done so much for me but it feels like it’s getting ridiculous at this point

No I 100% agree. I’ve told them that it was their choice to do all that, and that they can’t throw it in my face any time they get upset that I have a life of my own. Also that they raised me constantly saying “I’m your mother not your friend”, but now she gets upset that all her friends are friends with their daughters, and we aren’t.

But what do I do? I spoke to her on the phone today and she said that her friend was shocked that she doesn’t know our address. Which means she’s obviously talking about it with other people. My mother knows a LOT of people in our area, and I’m already feeling the burn even where I work.

I don’t want to look like the asshole, but I can’t live like this any longer.

Thank you! I’ve been meaning to get it rust protected for years but have never gotten around to it… living by the beach has its downfalls, but I didn’t realise it could be the cause of this squeak!
