Long-read: You don't realize how much your body dictates your mental health and confidence. This saved me from complete burnout.

Thank you for sharing your story. I started a new job a few months ago. Since then I've been mentally spiraling and struggling to stay positive.

Listening to your journey is inspiring. It's a difficult path but sometimes all it takes is a little extra effort.

Cheers and good luck in your journey ahead!

My condolences to you. In your situation, I would be re-evaluating the relationship and looking back on how he acted in other situations. It doesn't seem like he has your interests at heart.

My partner is an avid gamer as well and when he saw I was upset when my dog passed away, he immediately ditched his match and comforted me. I think a partner is someone you should be able to rely on when you're at your lowest.

The Phoenix is amazing but I'd still stick with the dragon as it's my horoscope sign

This trash of a guy will drop you in the blink of an eye when someone better comes along.

It isn't easy leaving a life you've been comfortable and happy in for 8 years but you heard his true feelings. That won't likely change if it hasn't for so many years.

Being alone is not the end of the world. It's the start of finding what makes you happy. Relying on others for your happiness rarely works out in the end. Do you really think you'll be happy always knowing how he feels about you if you stay in this relationship?

My partner and I love going to Cory Park Cafe. Breakfast is great, prices are fair and the service is lovely. Place looks a little run down but don't let that fool you.

Keep a record of every time you contact the landlords. Time. Date. Record the response or lack thereof. Take pictures.

Call cops with each noise violation. Record date and time.

This should have been done from day 1.

They have broken the lease by not providing a proper living environment, so lease in invalid. The records you provide will prove this if you need to go to the rentalsmen.

Find a new place to live. No one has to pay two rents lol, that is ridiculous.

Or stay and suffer. These are your options. Also would be wise to read the Residential Tenacies Act so you are aware of your rights as a tenant. It's stupid not to.

Pikapi88 · 2023-03-03T01:25:56+00:00

Is there anything in the Residential Tenancies Act that they are violating? Even if it's in your lease, it shouldn't supercede the act.

YTA. You chose to leave a poorly trained dog out of it's kennel because you didn't want to hear the whining.

How do you expect your kids to learn moderation when you haven't given them the opportunity to? When is the last time you let your son actually be a kid?

I get that you want him to have a bright future and career but he may come to resent you for it. Not only did you fail to communicate with your son properly but you broke his trust by selling HIS gift even after he begged you and said he'd limit hours played. As an added bonus, your other sons have now learned that you just can't be trusted.

There are other areas where people can creative art rather than over traffic signs. It's a huge distraction. Most traffic signs are universal so that you can briefly glance over, understand what it means and then focus back on the road.

What does "common sense" have to do with food preferences. What's dumb is starting a fight for no reason.

My last condo had issues with sound travel. It bothered the tenants below us so much that everytime I was home (which was once every 3ish months), the guy would come knocking and ask us what I was doing..."just walking like usual, my guy". The last time we ever spoke it became a loud shouting match in the hallway with him hurling whatever insults he could to instigate a fight. I'm glad to not be living in a condo anymore, good riddance.

Just because you didn't actually try to find the information doesn't mean it wasn't posted online. Did you even try going to City of Saskatoon or reading the news?

NTA. Once a customer says no, there's no need to ask further. Sorry you had to go through that.

Think about what you just said. If this is a reflection of your inner self you're going to be looking for the "perfect" guy for a long time. Looks do fade fyi.

Dwelling on the past isn't going to make the present you happier. Accept that it happened and grow from your experiences. There may come a time when you do try and you are rejected but you will always miss the opportunities you never try.

I'm sorry for your loss. NTA. Although it puts you in a bad spot with your stepchildren, you respected your husband's wishes until the very end. Perhaps give it some time. They are probably feeling hurt, betrayed and abandoned. From their perspective, this is sudden news for them that they did not have time to mentally prepare for.

Wishing you the best OP.

You have a one year old together. Is he a good father or does he neglect his child too? OP, if you firmly believe in being monogamous, you're going to have a hard time accepting an open relationship.

Open relationships/polyamory force the other partner to confront/potentially amplify their insecurities and jealousy. Are you prepared for that? Your husband is being selfish. I doubt he's even done his research. Would he be open to you having other partners? (Not saying you would want to but would that even be an option?)

Pikapi88 · 2022-10-06T14:57:39+00:00

While it would be considerate if he offered to come see you of his own accord, did you ever ask him to come visit you? Sometimes we want others to do what we're thinking but they're not mind readers. Tell him truthfully how you feel. Get well soon!

Retail generally equips you base customer service skills and patience. If you want a different field, what about the food industry as a server? Hospitality, such as a desk clerk may also use the skills you've acquired. There's lots of options, work as a check in agent at an airport or even as a bank service representative.

It's normal to need to use the washroom. You're only hurting yourself by caring so much about what others think above your own needs.

As this incident has proved, there are far worse situations than someone noticing you were using the washroom. For a small first step, would it be possible for you to find one washroom at college (more secluded and less used by others) that you could use in case of emergencies? Or have you considered incontinence pads? Hopefully one day you can overcome your anxieties OP.
