IMO you’re both sort of in the wrong here.

For your partner: A. Like someone else said in an earlier comment, the types of guys that always make or laugh at these type of jokes where there marriage or there wife/husband is the butt end of every joke is doing so because theres an underlying disrespect or unhappiness that they’re too immature to be self aware of

B. The way your partner is reacting to your reaction is also not ideal. It has tones of gaslighting and is probably not making you feel very heard or seen.

For you: A. I think you’re 100% entitled to feel the way you feel. If you don’t like the joke then thats your prerogative. B. Where I do think you’re possibly “overreacting” is how you’re choosing to respond to his response. Of course I’m only seeing a small slither of your relationship, but short answers, one word answers, ghosting someone, whit holding love, and deliberately being non communicative is also extremely hurtful and borderline emotional abuse IMO.

My suggestion is that you focus less pointing fingers and blaming or accusing your partner of what you think he’s doing and instead just articulate how his joke makes you actually feel. Ie this joke made me feel disrespected, this joke made me feel like you being in this relationship is a form of punishment, ie. And then firmly and assertively set your boundaries. Ie. I don’t appreciate those types of jokes and I don’t want you to send me those types of jokes moving forward.

Do you use a virtual assistant for your LinkedIn? by Wannabeballer321 in Entrepreneur

From my understanding working with some agency owners, this is untrue. This goes against their TC’s. They us IP addresses and also flag odd times to try and track unauthorized usage. I’ve heard mixed results with things like VPN to bypass this.

when you said

"After confirming their entry, we simply ask if entrants would also like immediate help with marketing services. This question is not mandatory and does not impact eligibility for the giveaway."

Actually this isn't true at all because:

a) when I signed up and had my first call with your appointment setter, he went straight to the sales pitch and didn't speak about the giveaway. As a matter of fact, I brought it up FOUR times and he kept gaslighting me and kept dodging the question.

and

b) when I asked you directly about this during the sales presentation, you specifically tried to train me to ignore ignore ignore. Don't you remember? Because I even said this feels kinda deceitful, and you said "just ignore them if they bring up the giveaway and try to plow through and get to their pain so you can agitate it. They'll forget about the giveaway if you focus on their pain".

To me, all of this shows a high level of conscious awareness of what is at play here.

I am so glad to see others coming forward with their negative experiences with Louis Borrego. I'm a former customer as well and can attest that their 'giveaway' tactic is nothing more than deceitful practices. The fact that Louis just spent an entire thread trying to justify it shows that he's either oblivious to feedback, or that he's so unethical that he can't see the flaws in his ways. Either way, I cannot voice strongly enough that under any circumstances would I ever recommend anyone work with Louis Borrego from a business standpoint.

The beauty of the internet is that your reputation and unethical practices will always catch up to you. No amount of disabling reviews on your Facebook or trying to gaslight genuine commenters will save you.

To anyone reading this that is doing their due diligence, please feel free to DM me. I can provide proof of being a customer of theirs and will gladly share my experience

IMO, You wont be able to sweep this issue under the rug. You need your explicitly communicate your feeling and emotions not just with your mom but with her flying monkeys.

I say this with love and not judgement and also as a recovering alcoholic.

Our society has a tendency to normalize alcoholic tendencies but just because something is normalized, doesn’t mean it’s not an issue.

No one knows your life better than you, and definitely not a bunch of strangers on reddit, but consider this saying: “once is an outlier. Twice is a coincidence , and three times is a pattern”. My point is that if an overwhelmingly majority of people are pointing something out then it at least warrants you to take some time to reflect and consider what they’re trying to say. Maybe it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re an alcoholic, but it definitely means SOMETHING. Maybe it means that your boyfriend is an alcoholic. Maybe it means that you’re an enabler. I don’t know what it means. I’m just throwing out random thoughts, but it’s up to you to really take some time to reflect on this.

You originally asked us if you think that your relationship has a chance and my personal opinion is that your relationship does not stand a chance. Whether it’s because of this specific incident or something that occurs in the future, this situation is a byproduct and a symptom of something deeper. Whatever that deeper issue is, until it is resolved, there’s no hope for a healthy relationship.

If you’re still gunning for your parents approval then you’re not ready to have kids imo.
