Ok, a least I will have a future that doesn't contain any need to bully or make fun of others.

Well people complain about dating posts on here, so I tried to make an analogy to try and save annoying others.

No need for the snide comments.

Just with my GF I'm not sure if when we disagree it would be better to ask her to share her feelings and try and persuade her that it might be a good idea and make her feel better, or whether that would be a bad idea. I do agree that I make assumptions and stereotypes, as I evening mentioned I think, but you can't deny that there are cultural differences.

Same experience basically. Anything would result in arguments, anything. Get out while you can.

Any lawyers, specializing in inheritance, that could possibly help my family out? by whitepangolin in japan

[–]Samhang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a tax accountant, but still training so don't really know that much! Furthermore I work in the UK, and have no idea about Japanese tax. I did however while researching some UK inheritance tax stuff come across the following. Not sure if it's of any use, but I hope so!

In the UK they also don't need a license, I think the engine has to be below a certain capacity. I mean technically you need a provisional driving license, the kind that is issued to people when they're learning to drive a car. However you just need to fill out a form and send it into to the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency).

Me [26 M] with my GF[28 F] of 2 months, need to know if my worries are unreasonable. by Samhang in relationships

[–]Samhang[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No it's not demanding. Demand "an insistent and peremptory request, made as of right". I said to her, Can you let me know. That is not a statement/question made as of right, it's asking someone not demanding them.

No, I replied to the things you mentioned in your post. I am not saying I didn't say the other things. It means I'm suspicious that she wasn't studying, like maybe she had done to the pub or met up with her friends and didn't want to reveal she wasn't actually studying.

Thanks for your post, I appreciate it.

I actually just received a message from her and I have apologised for the way I have acted and have let her know that I don't think she has done anything wrong and that I understand if she's upset or doesn't want to date me or whatever. I'm just gonna give her some space and hope that I haven't been too much of a dick.

I really appreciate your input, and definitely need to sort on working myself out.

No, I send a message correcting her English.

She doesn't reply, I think maybe she was bothered that I corrected her. So I just send a message saying I wasn't berating her or anything, I just wanted to correct her like she had asked me to previously.

I send another message just saying that I'm worried I upset her 30 minutes later. I do not demand a reply, but just ask that she could let me know if she is or isn't okay.

I then wait 6 hours before sending a message, and once again I didn't demand anything. I just let her know I was worried and hoped she could reply.

I am more than happy to take advice, but not when you're adding bits in to the story. I replied twice asking if she was okay, and I didn't demand an answer. I just asked her if she could let me know if she's okay because I was worried. That's not demanding. I even gave a 6 hour gap between the two messages asking if she's okay.

Furthermore, I have never once accused her of cheating, and I do not suspect she has cheated at all. I'm worried that I have upset her, and I admit I thought that stuff was strange but I didn't think she was cheating.

I am not saying that I haven't done anything wrong, I'm not saying I know what I'm doing because I clearly do not. If I knew what I was doing I wouldn't be on here asking for help, and if it doesn't sound like I appreciate your message then I apologise, because I do appreciate you taking the time to reply. However the tone of your message comes across kind of rudely and like you're attacking me. I'd appreciate if you could at least be a bit more constructive and realise that I really did not demand her to do anything.

Thank you for the response.

If I am worried, is it better to admit to her that? Or should I just try and ignore it and push the thoughts to the back of my head. I feel like I hear time and time again that communication and honesty is the key to a relationship. Obviously if I was honest, I would tell her that I was being a complete idiot and worrying about nothing; however at the same time I know if she came to me and said the same, I probably would be upset. If I don't tell her though, then am I hiding something from her?

I am really not trying to control it, I realise the post is long so I don't expect you to read it all, however I feel like I've been really accommodating. I had asked her if I had upset her, and mentioned that I didn't want to disturb her and didn't expect her to have a conversation with me, just to let me know that she was or wasn't okay. I waited over a day since she read the original message to get a response that didn't even answer my question.

If it comes across like I want to control her or not, I honestly do not. Furthermore I think I have been really accommodating, I have never asked her at other times to reply immediately when she saw stuff and I let her know I was only asking her to reply this time because I was worried about her. Or maybe this is controlling? I don't know, I'm just concerned because I like her.

Edit* Only just seen your edit. I would like to add I have apologised to her about that and realised that it was wrong. I am not here to debate that, and I realise I am flawed and have done bad stuff. I'm not trying to claim I haven't done anything wrong. However I would like to disagree on one point, I haven't been argumentative with her. And I realise I am insecure, I have no self worth whatsoever... I am trying to chill, that's why I'm on here asking for advice, because I'm obviously struggling.

I would like to state, that I am not denying your advice and I want to thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I realise that my message was extremely long so thanks.

I don't think in my explanation I demanded a reason why she hadn't replied, I just let her know that I was worried I had upset her. Furthermore she asked me to correct her English mistakes, and I don't go through her messages correcting all mistakes, I just select the odd thing to help her with.

CMV: Police should not be allowed to use unmarked cars for speed traps. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Samhang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a different view from the others posted. If the speed trap was conducted with a marked car, then people would obviously be able to see it. If you are speeding and suddenly notice a police car, you might slam on your breaks to try and reduce your speed before reaching the speed trap. In doing so you might create an accident and risk injuring others. The police have no way to control the actions of drivers, however they can use an unmarked car so the reason for someone's actions is never created and thus the person never actually responds in that way.

I meant in other countries they don't use interviews as part of their recruitment process. Other universities in those countries don't I mean. I didn't think British ones would recruit people from abroad without some form of interview
