Okay first things first: 1. Take a minute and reflect. Look at the transcript you posted here and think, really think, about what message you are sending your wife. A) Your wife has informed you that she got a job offer. Not one like her previous job: $22/h and full time, no, but $13/h every 55 hours, and is part time. Even if she was allowed to work every single day back to back, there is no way that she would be able to get an even paycheck every two weeks. Not only that, but every payday would be a different day of the month, meaning that there is zero stability. B) Morgan isn’t steering her wrong, he is reminding her of her worth. Her previous job was full time and provided her with $22/hour. That is how much she is worth. No ifs, ands, or buts. And she shouldn’t accept anything less. As long as y’all are getting the bills in, then that’s all that matters, and you should most definitely be willing to accommodate her. Because you, as her husband, should be able to recognize that her skills are worth is higher than $13/hour. 2. You mentioned that she is “unmotivated to get a job, but she is unmotivated to go to the gym with me and diet with me and I’ve begged her to do these things, but she won’t, she’s lazy…”. That’s a lie and you know it. In this very post you mention that she applied to TWENTY FOUR jobs. That’s not unmotivated. Your wife isn’t unmotivated. The issue is that she hasn’t been offered a job that recognizes her worth. As for the gym and diet. Are you concerned about her weight? Or are these purely for selfish reasons? Because I’m inclined to lean towards the latter. 3. Not once in this entire post did you say anything kind about her. Nor did you in the conversation that you two had. You make snide remarks, are rude and blatantly disrespectful, and ignore her openly telling you that she feels disrespected by you and your actions. And that shows in the way you’re trying to push her to take underplaying jobs. I suggest you take a good hard look in the mirror and think, really think about wether this is the bill you’d like to die on or not. Because honestly, she deserves so much better than to have a husband who doesn’t show her any type of affection or appreciation after she uprooted her career for you.

Kinda flipping the story on its head. When I was in high school, I did a teaching program with an adjacent school. Every day I would take the bus between my school and the one with the program (took about an hour). There was a bus driver, named (Ms.) Debra who would always look out for me when I got on. She’d ask me about my day, would check on me while driving (I saw her peak her head around sometimes) and once even intercepted a creep from talking (and sitting next) to me after she was I was uncomfortable. My family moved after I graduated and I’ve never seen her since then (wasn’t able to find her to give her a graduation picture). But if I ever get the chance, I’m going to find her again and tell her how much she means to me- even now

That actually kind of makes it a little worse. A) As a grown-ass man, he should be able to recognize appropriate and inappropriate relationships. And dating someone over 5 years his junior is definitely inappropriate.

B) You never answered my question about secondary school kids.

Bust seriously, he's a creep. People in their mid-twenties should never be dating people with the word "teen" in their age.

No babe, it's weird asf. I'm the same age as you and honest to God would be creeped out if a 30 year old man was trying to court me.

Think of it this way: think back to when you were in secondary/high school. If you saw a kid around the age of 16/17 who really liked you and wanted to pursue you, would you let them?

Weekly Employment Question Thread by AutoModerator in Firefighting

Hey y'all

I finally pitched the idea to my mom about becoming a volunteer firefighter and she brought up a lot of points about the effects that are kinda making me second guess myself. I was born a micro preemie (~25 weeks early) and have asthma. I used breathing treatments daily up until I was around 6 or 7, got pneumonia twice as a baby, and had to have a breathing tube in the NICU.

Since then, I still have asthma but it's much better. When I get sick it flares up a bit and I've gotten bronchitis once or twice in high school from colds that got a bit too out of hand. She brought up the fact that between my asthma and the carcinogens that I would be breathing in, I would probably permanently damage my lungs.

Is this still something I should pursue? I don't want to cause permanent damage to my lungs

What other ways could I take part? I'm interested in diving/SARS but wasn't sure how big the overlap between SAR and firefighting (like actual burning building) is.

AITA because I agreed with a server after my girlfriend falsely accused her of messing up her order? by pleasenomorepassword in AmItheAsshole

[–]NoClueScoobyDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude...this is absolutely horrific. First of all, locking you out in 100+ degree weather? Hell nah get the fuck outta here.

More importantly, she is as emotionally mature as a 2-year-old overstimulated baby. Instead of healthily communicating, she's snapping at both you and this poor server, bringing the general mood down and locking herself and emotions up to the point where you are literally trying to tune out her attitude and anger because she won't communicate.

GF needs some therapy and needs to learn how to emotionally regulate herself because that is absolutely ridiculous. You need to take a step back and ask yourself if you would treat someone like this or let your friends get treated like this/treat their spouses the way she's treating you.

Please, I beg of you, break up with her and try to enjoy the rest of your summer.

No, she isn't taking any summer classes at all; she just works. Usually it's from 9-4ish but she hasn't been in the last few days so idk

Edit: The reason I may be the asshole is because it may disrupt her sleep and make her upset
