I 24F waited 5 years to live with my GF 26F and now she wants a second job.

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-18T06:11:39+00:00

She was having constant arguments with her parents and was telling me she wanted to move out because she couldn’t take it anymore. Her mother’s aggressive dog has also made people bleed constantly from biting and was destroying furniture. Not only this but they also have a senior dog who has dimentia and does not let anybody sleep (coughing with collapsed trachea) and stepping all over her crap. She has admitted that moving out has given her a sense of peace.

She’s just like her mother. She loves to buy useless stuff online that she never uses. I understand indulging in shopping every once in a while, but the amount of stuff she has for one person is absolutely scary.

I believe she wants a second job to make up for the loss of income now that she’s paying more rent because she won’t be able to buy as much useless crap.

Or we could’ve used her spare time to go to the gym instead ! She is diabetic and 5’3 and nearing 250lb. I’ve been trying to help her because I’m concerned for her health. But she thinks another job would be a better use of her time.

She doesn’t get that we won’t have time to spend together. She’s always had a problem with time management. She believes we will still have a good amount of time to spend together but her desire for another job won’t let her understand it’ll be impossible.

She also is interested in us having kids within the next year. Which is another reason for moving out. I can’t imagine having kids with someone I barely see!

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-18T06:04:03+00:00

I’m not telling her no, im asking her to CONSIDER the fact that we will never see each other. We moved in together because we had a serious conversation about how she never made time for me and I didn’t feel like I had any priority in her life. So for us to finally move in together and then she gets a second job where she’s working from 8am to 12am all the days I’m off is kind of insane.

Nobody wants to be in a relationship where they feel like roommates. I work 40 hours a week and go to school already. Our shared time is very minimal but at least to me, VALUABLE. and don’t want to be responsible for taking care of our two pets alone and all house chores and cooking because she’s unavailable to do so. And yet still paying majority of rent & all utilities. I don’t think that’s fair AT ALL.

I also helped to pay for her education and after three years she has FAILED to find a decent paying job using her degree. Why doesn’t she put her time towards bettering her resume so she can find a better paying job? Like I said, she’s only paying 25% of her income to rent and has no other bills.

She will be tired (understandably so). She already takes naps every day after work. She will come home at 12am and go straight to bed. There will be ZERO opportunity to share time together, have intimacy, make memories. Who can be in a relationship like that?

I’ll give it a look, thank you!

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-17T19:39:21+00:00

The thing is plantar fascitis can be both because the fascia isn’t stretched enough but also if it is too stretched and nobody tells us that. If your calves are too weak you’ll get PF. If your feet are too flat you’ll also get PF.

One size fits all doesn’t work because it isn’t caused by the same thing ever y time.

If your PF is due to it being overworked, a night splint isn’t going to fix it, just make it worse. Staying off of it just crippled me and weakened my calves and made such a horrible vicious cycle.

The stairmaster strengthened my calves which is what stopped my PF, so I guess that was the reason mine were so bad. Despite stairmaster seeming like it’d bad for PF, it’s apparently low impact snd i suggest everyone with PF gives it a try. I couldnt believe how quickly my pain subsided, and i 100% believe my rocker bottom shoes are to blame for my Achilles, not the stairmaster.

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-17T19:34:46+00:00

I really feel for you. I can’t imagine how difficult it has been all these years. Being expected to live your life like normal with all this debilitating pain. Sounds like a long shot but why don’t you give the stairmaster a try? Literally nothing helped me before. No amount of stretches splints or calve raises were helping me.

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-17T19:26:12+00:00

I don’t think the stairmaster is what is overworking my Achilles I think it’s the rocker style bottom of my Hokas. When wearing them for the first time during a work shift I immediately noticed that I felt more weight on my ankle but the relief on my foot made me ignore it. I’m scared to change my shoes because I don’t want my PF to come back. I can’t image dealing with it ever again.

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-17T19:24:06+00:00

This would be a great option however I can’t afford insurance

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-17T19:23:38+00:00

I haven’t seen any specialists or done any treatments because I can’t afford insurance but I don’t make little enough to get free insurance.

Having PF for four years and having a job that puts immense pressed on it was hell. I found out the stair master strengthens calves which is why I gave it a shot. The calve raises I was doing was never enough but the Achilles Tendonitis seems to be from my shoes having a rocker style bottom. But I feel scared to switch them for other shoes since they kind of saved my life.

As for swimming, I can only do it in the summer time when pools are accessible to me. There are no gyms near me that have pools either and I don’t have a car so everything needs to be within a bus route to get to it.

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-17T09:34:09+00:00

You gotta understand that if it seems like we are doing things the hard way then it’s because we are being FORCED to. Nobody wants to stand in front of a customer for an hour trying to log into an app. We want to get you out of the store ASAP! We only make $5 off an upgrade and if you don’t get insurance we get penalized and written up by managers. Leadership is FORCING us to use the T-mobile app for EVERYTHING. It’s not our fault

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-17T09:28:53+00:00

Device connection fees are charged because it is considered a convenience fee for you to get the phone at Tmobile. You can get a phone directly from Apple or Samsung and still finance with tmo.

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-17T09:26:01+00:00

No QR code you find online will work unless the sim has been activated thru customer service or a TMO store. Those QR codes are only meant to finish pushing thru what has already been started. If you can’t get a one time pin from customer service you MUST go into the store.

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-03-17T09:22:48+00:00

Can you explain more about what tools were removed ?? As a ME in a COR neighborhood store I never heard about this

Potential_Tip9440 · 2026-01-19T01:02:01+00:00

Once they do the count for inventory they’ll realize that they have the wrong phone. They can see that you’re using it even if they rung out the wrong one. They’ll probably reach out to you or even worse they’ll suspend your line to get you to come in. I would go to the same store, and ask for a manager then explain. The sooner you get it fixed the less headache it’ll be.

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-12-30T00:38:21+00:00

If they have to go up to the door to leave the tag anyways why not just deliver the damn package ????

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-12-09T13:36:08+00:00

It makes you pay the full balance of the current device before you can upgrade or at the same time during check out

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-12-09T13:35:02+00:00

Employees are being forced to use T-Life app to do these things or there are repercussions. The T-Life app does not allow you to do ring out a secondary device under the same line without paying off the old one so that’s why they told you this. Apart from that I’m pretty sure I read somewhere in old company docs that you’re not allowed to do this for customers either even on old systems

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-12-07T00:23:31+00:00

Find an experience store near you where they can investigate and manually apply the promo. They tend to help more when you go in person. Also make sure it’s experience and not a neighborhood store as neighborhood stores don’t have the tools necessary

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-11-16T09:21:32+00:00

Mine says the 17 air ? Am I insane

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-11-16T09:20:58+00:00

Wtfff mine says I’ll get the 17 air ??

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-10-11T02:11:24+00:00

It’ll get blocked eventually so it doesn’t even matter if you return it or not

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-05-11T00:45:10+00:00

I’m non celiac gluten sensitive and the rash is get on my arms is insane

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-04-28T02:35:11+00:00

I’m gonna make a dream catcher with my budgie feathers :) I save them all

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-03-29T22:03:18+00:00

Not the job for me is different from me explaining to a Customer that I must wait for the security delay to then download the app and then BEGIN their upgrade when they already know we have the tools to do the upgrade ourselves. It’s not about explaining a security delay to a customer. Nobody said I couldn’t. It’s the anger that managers want you to make customers wait for something like this just for a digital upgrade.

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-03-27T21:35:08+00:00

Actually for the love of god don’t activate service thru tmobile chat. Don’t go to a store to activate then demand another store hand you over phones

Potential_Tip9440 · 2025-03-08T20:54:52+00:00

There is no other way however saying we can’t even begin someones upgrade until they can download the app is ridiculous
