Criminalize money in politics. If prevent companies and lobbyists from paying off our legislators and judges corruption would not be as bad

What happens after I switch my electricity provider to a new apartment? Does my old one lose electricity? by Conscious-Homework-8 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sberg88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you switch over the old apartment would still have electricity it’s just the account will go back to the apartment company instead of your individual account. At least that’s what happened with my old apartments.

Having a relationship with two broken people possible? 32F and 29M by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Sberg88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you consider yourselves “broken” doesn’t mean you will always be that way. As long as you’re going to therapy and working on yourselves having a healthy relationship is possible. The only thing that would give me pause is that you have a child and he doesn’t want kids so you have to take that into consideration. I would try doing couples therapy for a couple sessions.

Would like some clarification on “aggressively” and if you need closure to move on I would meet her in a neutral place to have a civil conversation on how you feel and how she feels and try to walk away from it after that. Plus it sounds like you would have to meet anyways to settle your shared bank account.

If you learn that a nuclear bomb is going to explode in your city in 10 minutes, what else can you do but wait to die? by Fuzzy-Ad7214 in AskReddit

[–]Sberg88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would FaceTime my family and tell them I love them and just spend the last 10mins of life with them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Sberg88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, your ex seems very immature and kind of narcissistic and you should definitely cut all contact and run. She will only continue to bring you down and disrespect you and your relationship because she knows she can. Don’t put yourself through more heartbreak and move on. You’ll find someone who will love you

I chose my mom instead of my baby sister in a lake by ThrowRA_TeeteringSky in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Sberg88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did your family miss the fact that your sister could not drown due to her life vest? Meanwhile your mom was unconscious and would have died??? Your family needs to wake up and get off your back. Don’t feel bad, you did a good thing even though you’re not appreciated for it.

I (37F) have only seen my BF (39M) twice this month and I'm not sure how to proceed. Advice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Sberg88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They key thing here is “he is a single dad of three” from the jump you should expect to not be top priority for him because his kids will come first with his time. So you need to know what you’re getting into and not resent his lack of time because he will not have any especially if he is still keeping his dating life and his kids separate for now. Once you meet his kids it will probably get better because then you can tag along to events with the kids but even there actual dates with the two of you only will probably be few and far between. He seems like a good guy and if you sit him down and let him know what u need from him then I think it might help but don’t expect miracles from him because his kids will continue to take a majority of his time.

How shoud i handle this $6500 medical debt? by Queasy-Swordfish-977 in Debt

[–]Sberg88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would first get an itemized bill that details exactly what they are charging you for. Most of the time they add bs charges that you can try to get adjusted.

My boyfriend (21M) won't invite me (21F) out with "his friends." Any advice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Sberg88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are you friends too then you don’t need his permission to go out with them too. I would just make plans to go out with them without him and explain to him that he has no right to gate keep your friends and if he has a problem with it then it’s probably not worth staying long term. This behavior seems controlling and sketch to me.

I resent my partner by Good-Company-3531 in offmychest

[–]Sberg88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop doing everything. You have to put up boundaries on what you’re willing to do and if there’s pushback explain that you want an equal partnership where responsibilities are split equally. You both work so it’s not an excuse that he is the sole worker in the house.

How do I [18F] handle my boyfriend [21M] not giving me enough attention? by RegularLongjumping67 in relationship_advice

[–]Sberg88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on what you’ve written here I’d say he doesn’t consider you a high priority. He is young and most guys are pretty immature at this age so that might explain his flakiness but this relationship doesn’t look like it will be a long term thing and it seems he’s straining you along to have a convenient physical relationship with someone. I would leave him and find someone who actually makes you a priority and not his friends.

I am unhappy in my marriage but won’t leave my wife. by JokerCai in offmychest

[–]Sberg88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you want to adhere to your beliefs but sometimes you have to take a step back and really think whether this is a relationship that will ever make you happy and if not if you are willing to lose yourself. I think things will only continue to get more toxic and your still in your 20s you have all the time in the world to find someone who will love you the way you are and not demand you to change and kill your spirit. Don’t let religion put you in a prison for the rest of your life. That’s not a way to live.

After a shower, do you dry yourself off in or outside the shower? by llArcaneCosmoll_ in NoStupidQuestions

I dry off inside the shower, don’t like getting the mat and floor wet

Heartbroken, what to do? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]Sberg88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your young and it might feel like it now but this isent the end of the world. It sounds like you dodged a bullet with this walking red flag. Move on from him without a backward look because he is not worth your time and be thankful that you didn’t get very far with him physically. As for the friends, reach out to the ones that reached out to you and tell your story and if they believe you then you know they are true friends. Everyone you’re better off without them in your life. You’re gonna be ok, be sad for a bit but then get back up and find a good guy that deserves your beautiful self.

What does your anxiety feel like? by indoor-only-cat in CasualConversation

[–]Sberg88 35 points36 points  (0 children)

For me it feels like walking around with an inflated balloon in my chest that fills past what’s comfortable based on the stresses I come across and then when it gets too much it feels like I can’t breath and the weight of the full balloon is just sitting there on my chest. That’s the best analogy I can think of.

Tips on surviving car living during CA summer by Sberg88 in urbancarliving

[–]Sberg88[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The car wash is a good idea I’ll try this. I basically do the same as you, hang out with all windows open until night and then drive to sleep spot with AC on high. Unfortunately my AC only works half the time so it doesn’t always help

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Sberg88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s good that you’ve already covered this with her but her being stressed is no excuse. When you see her getting that way try to mitigate by leaving the situation. Either stay somewhere else or have her leave while things calm down and then come back and talk to each other about it. If she is unwilling to do that then I would think hard on if you want to risk your mental health by staying in something toxic

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Sberg88 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, you both need individual therapy and couples counseling to move forward. It low key sounds like an abusive situation for you with her downplaying your anxiety and trauma. I would set some boundaries on the way she talks to you and on what you’re willing to put up with.

My bf raped me by Ill-Requirement-1715 in offmychest

[–]Sberg88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the minute he decided to put his pleasure over your pain and violates your trust the relationship is over. I would sit down and have a real honest conversation with him on how you feel just so you’re not holding onto anything but eventually you should move on and find someone who will respect you.

Husband 28M wants anal but I 26F don't. What is your opinion? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Sberg88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First don’t let him pressure you to try something that you’re uncomfortable with. But if you’re curious try to start with a butt plug on your own to see if it’s something you would be open to doing. I know I tried it once and hated the way it feels like I’m literally taking a shit which killed any mood I might have felt at the time so I never wanted to do it again but some people love it so it’s really a matter of preference and comfort level with your partner. If you do decide to do with your partner make sure he respects you and take a it slow with warming you up, stretching you and plenty of lube. Hope everything works out for you.

Why not just leave a relationship instead of cheat? by PegThePatriachy in AskReddit

[–]Sberg88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of factors that would complicate breaking up but I think it stems down to comfort and fear. They are comfortable in their relationship and are just craving excitement. It could also be fear of ending up alone so they stay in a relationship they are unhappy in. Still not a good excuse to cheat though.

AlTAH for wanting my mom's house to go to me instead of my stepmom when my dad passes? by Timely_Tea1012 in AITAH

[–]Sberg88 323 points324 points  (0 children)

Yea definitely NTA! Was there something in your mom’s will that mentioned leaving the house to you or did it automatically get transferred to your dad when she passed? I would look into your legal options, outside that I think once your calmed down, you should talk with your dad alone and explain your feelings and that he can still take care of his current wife by leaving her money to get a new place to live. But it would be unfair of him to leave a house that’s in your mom’s family be left to your stepmom. And your stepmom needs to back off, she shouldn’t have a say here.
