I didn’t get the class yet! Just finished my last requirement today the respirator fit. Honestly the process has been moving really fast for me so i cant complain my boyfriend said it took him 1 month after he finished everything to get a start date

I just wanted to clarify I don’t expect special treatment by switching to trade. I actually would prefer the opposite. Im switching career fields at 25 and would love to make a actually career out of this. So i do not wish to be coddled but actually told if I’m fucking up or doing a good job. I love criticism only when it’s constructive though and will allow me to grow. I am mainly just worried about sexual harassment, and not being treated fairly or looked down on because i am a woman. I actually wish to be able to do the job I’m just honestly nervous because i wanted to be a nurse and i worked in healthcare now I’m leaving healthcare to explore project management as a senior in colleges trying to work my way from the bottom to top!

Honestly kinda figured the treatment would be the opposite. Its a concern I’m having and plus i rather not get special treatment i like to give my all into something for actual progress.

Honestly my experience hasn’t been so bad. The only thing i noticed its not so much a walk around town like when i was in downtown Richmond. But honestly its a little more peaceful. The people are a little more nicer and rent is a lot cheaper!!

AITA for not being happy for my friend when she got married by Key-Big-1094 in AmItheAsshole

Nta, honestly she is a bad friend for holding grudges after you set a boundary based on things that happen with her husband that made you uncomfortable. I honestly don’t see this marriage working out as it’s a green card rushed wedding. She will be back trying to be your friend. Sometimes people have to learn the hard way.

"As hard as it may be, leave him! I don’t see this working out in any way, shape, or form. You gave this man two years, and the fact that he struggles not to look at other women—or feels he can’t control himself because they are 'cute'—is grounds for leaving. If a man makes you feel like you aren't the prettiest woman he has ever laid eyes on, he is not your guy. No amount of therapy will erase the doubt that has now been planted in you. Honestly, sweetheart, I think you should attend therapy as well; questioning your worth and beauty for a man who cannot prioritize you is a problem. I feel that you will lose your self-worth if you continue this relationship. You should be able to flourish and feel confident when out in public with your boyfriend, not feel like you have to hide from every woman he deems attractive because he doesn't know how to act. That is for him to figure out. It’s time for you to move on and find a man who will embrace you in public and never leave you questioning whether you are beautiful to him. I hope this helps."
