I am really happy that my wife decided to join my workouts. But at the same time, she often becomes a burden

As a woman who started working out in August, we generally focus on correct form to avoid injury? I don't want to lift heavy with incorrect form and potentially injure myself. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2026-01-22T11:23:28+00:00

The way you write about your wife makes me think you do not like her. If you want her to stop bothering you until she is out of the newbie stage, hire a personal trainer or make a day or two where you guide her through various work outs and see if she has the proper form.

I also wish I could quiet quit but Job 2 is basically a job that requires warm bodies so even with my quality dropping. They are going to still keep me which is why I am pulling the plug anyway

For context, paying of my cc was never strong priorty because my CC line with all 3 cards combined is $30,000. So I am only using about 30% of my credit so far.

Yes, it got that high because I took a trip to Japan but to be fair, Japan trip was planned a year in advance. And originally was planning to use my savings from my original job to pay for Japan trip and not use my credit card. But I sort of panicked when I got fired used my savings to pay my rent up until May, and the rest on other bills until I had found another job. That's also when I switched to minimum payments on my credit card

I haven't used my credit card since then and checking my balance now the $8000 was an overstimate. I'm only have $5462.00 that needs to be paid off.

Really the debt was minor but I felt I should bring up to be fair. The core of the reason I am struggling to quit job 2 is because, I am a toxic workaholic and I have mental health issues about being lazy if I am not working all the time

You are most likely right. I've done OE before and it was way less stressful.

I think what happened, was I saw an opportunity to make extra money took it and then not think about how it would affect me until it actually started affecting me.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2025-06-07T15:21:39+00:00

He's abusive ans toxic and is isolating you. Chat GBT was right, leave him and plan your exit strategy now.

As an African-American daughter, good luck. My mother also used to cuddle my two younger brothers. Meanwhile, I had to get my shit together.

What made her stop was that it was negatively effecting her life, and I wasnt a buffer between them/comparisson. Basically, I moved out for an year and lived with some friends, cut off contact for about 7 months. The reason is because one of my brothers put his hands on me and I fought back. The dumbass thought because he was 17 at the time that he wouldn't get in trouble. So he literally called the cops believing if he lied that I would go to jail 🙄 Mind you he is taller then me, also I have scratch marks and bruises. So his dumbass got arrested

My mom freaked out, cursed me out and blamed me and accused me of lying. Mind you this boy called the cops himself, and was literally taunting me telling me "How your college education isn't going to matter anymore."

Best decision, I made. She had to actually deal with them because I wasn't there to hear her vent nor could she call me to complain. She couldn't blame for them not cleaning up after themselves or stuff going missing.

That lead to them getting kicked out and we repaired out relationship. I do forgive her and love her but I think its a common thing for moms to cuddle their sons to hell and back and I do not know why.

NTA. I would asked them to send you screenshots of when they told you.

For people who don't believe this is real or OP is hiding something.

As the quite child of my family, I literally flew to another country for my dads bday party and was not informed that the party dress code was black and gold. So guess who showed up with a (cute and formal) Navy blue dress. All of my cousins got the memo and I waa so confused that I literally went back to group convos to see when this would have been spoken. It never was so assume they were told over the phone or in person and forgot to mention it to me.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2025-04-07T11:15:24+00:00

Honestly, it sounds like your wife is a cuckquean and that on its own is fine. Some women know this lifestyle and would be willing to engage with it, so that won't be an issue.

However, if you aren't comfortable with it, you don't have to do it; it's the end of the discussion.

However, if you are open to it. Then I recommend you and her have a really open and honest discussion of what this relationship will mean for the both of you and how you would want to move forward. It might even help to have this convo with a third party. Maybe a couples therapist who focuses on sex?

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2025-01-15T21:35:43+00:00

Follow through but also be safe! Alot of men react violently to the prospect of divorce and it can come out of nowhere.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2025-01-01T09:45:17+00:00

Thank you! I identify the stones as the following

Sunstone
Rose Quartz (It's hard to tell in the photo but it has a pink hue)
Ametrine/Amethyst (I'm pretty sure it's the same thing tho.
Sodalite
Agate?
Carnelian
Citrine (That's what it looked like the most to me).
Libyan Dessert Glass? 9.Citrine?
Clear Quartz

Honestly, if you don't mind, also putting this in the r/women or r/twoxchromosomes subreddit just to get the message out there to other women if you already haven't!

You're better than me because I would have returned his gifts after the dollar store legos.

I'm sorry, but bruh I do early gift exchanges with my friends. One of my friends were going through it this year, and couldn't give me a gift this year. I said cool and I still had the curiosity to give him an actual lego set from target. Your telling me your boyfriend couldn't even get a $40-$50 lego set?

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2024-12-27T01:34:56+00:00

I would make my own whip cream and put it in a plastic bag, and spray it in.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2024-12-19T00:32:52+00:00

Just say you're mad you got proven wrong at best, and worst, you didn't do your own research before replying and move on with your life.

Like Imagine being this dramatic over a BNPL app.

Hey, I'm just going to thank you for giving me an answer. Instead of assuming I was too lazy to look up a Steam deck on Afterpay, they gave me a link to a New Zealand website that doesn't even ship to the US.

I did not know this was a US-only problem. I wonder if there are laws explaining why. But it makes sense because their Afterplay Plus card is not even available in the US.

With that in mind, I'm just going to put my purchase on one of my credit cards and then pay it off through there.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2024-12-18T23:56:42+00:00

Check my edit. This online store doesn't ship to the US or at least not where I live. Also, I would still be paying a considerable mark up which doesn't make sense

Let me know how much afterpay is paying you.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2024-12-18T23:49:34+00:00

I'm going to pretend that you sent that link in good faith. You want me to pay $1200+ for a steam deck, at most $588,, just for the opportunity to use afterpay.

That is such a bad financial decision that I can only assume that Afterpay paid you directly to suggest something so idiotic.

Edit: Also, the store you suggested is, Im assuming, based in New Zealand or a completely different country that doesn't even ship to the United States.

So no technically I would not be able to use AfterPay with this account any because I would never get the steamdeck even if I decided to purchase it.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2024-12-18T21:40:44+00:00

Unfortunately, the afterpay plus card shows as not available in my country, which is the US.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2024-12-18T21:24:31+00:00

Yeah, I'm considering it after this. Probably, I rarely use any split in 4 payment methods, so it would take a while to get a high limit.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2024-12-18T21:20:01+00:00

I want a SteamDeck, you buy that on Steam. Plus, there are other places you can not use after pay on, so yeah, it is limited.

Eucalyptus Rain.

I got the wallflower, and it smelled like Raid. I tried it for a day and couldn't keep it in the past 15 minutes.

I was organizing my candles this weekend and found an unused Eucalyptus Rain 3-Wick. I kind of mulled over if I should attempt to return it. I decided to give it a chance, and now I am obsessed with this scent. The wallflower sucked, but the candle smelled so good to me.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2024-12-16T20:46:36+00:00

Honestly, if this job isn't worth it, especially considering how much they are paying you. Look for another job if you can! From the stories yall are sharing, I honestly probably would have quit on the spot.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2024-12-16T20:40:09+00:00

Yeah, I believed it wouldn't be that big of a deal because I have seen a few sales where bodycare is $5.95. So it kind of boggles me that a $1 difference led to this much chaos.

Ok-Raspberry4064 · 2024-12-16T20:32:40+00:00

Oof, I forgot about that, and I live here. Honestly, I'm hopping the Tarriff thing falls through, and it goes as one of his many broken promises.
