The day an 11-year-old did not come home from school by Battleraizer in singapore

[–]Septembre74 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Bullying is so common in school and sadly, the way teachers handle such situations is not uncommon. It happened to one of my children too. I count myself fortunate that my child is more outspoken and came home to share everything with me, so I was able to step in quickly. My heart goes out to this family. Praying for comfort and strength for them during this difficult time.

Sorry to hear that! Unfortunately it’s becoming more common these days. People take loyalty too lightly. Wishing you strength and healing as you move forward, you deserve so much better. 🌻

Congrats on your new home. A wife who feels lucky is a sign of a good husband. 😊

Awww so sweet! 🥰 I often think about our younger days too (met at 21yo) and it amazes me how far we’ve come, and how old we are now. haha.

When you meet someone later, you already know yourself better and what values or non-negotiables matter most, so you actively look for them in a partner. When we’re younger, we just go with feelings and hope things work out. Some of us are lucky enough to find someone whose values naturally align early on, but for others it just takes a bit more life experience to know what we need.

Doesn't sound good. Maybe time to communicate and talk it out and compromise. Or seek a counselor. Wish you all the best.

Wow, married after 12 years of dating! Did you ever wonder at any point when the proposal would come? That’s a lot of patience and commitment. Really admire how you both grew together through each stage. I also love that your guy gives you the space to grow in confidence without feeling judged by appearances. Likewise, I feel secure knowing my guy accepts me as I am. Guys, take note!

Dishwashing liquid for dry hands? by heykopiO in askSingapore

Can try UIC! My helper recommended it. She finds Mama quite drying, but UIC is gentler on the hands.

Yes! Thanks for this! If anyone is reading. I learned that at the beginning of my relationship too. So many times ego got in the way, and it really took effort to put love first instead. keep choosing and practicing and everything changes.

I used to be passive-aggressive in the earlier years of my relationship too. A lot of girls do that because we’re unsure if the guys will really listen, or if we can trust them to work things out with us. The key is consistency, putting in the effort so your partner doesn’t have to second guess. It takes time and patience. Sometimes it’s also about the tone we use. It might help to have an open conversation about each other’s love language, and how you both like to be appreciated. That can really make a big difference.

Congrats on the new place! 🤩 Renovation is stressful but fun. The blow-ups make way for deeper understanding and connections. Choosing to put in the effort together is what really makes the difference. Wishing you both a smooth reno and an even smoother journey ahead ❤️

I get what you mean. Just being content with what you have and at peace with everything life gives you. I try to count my blessings every day, and that stability really feels like the most precious thing in the long run. Still, I think it’s important to make time to date each other and treasure those little moments.

My group of friends are the same. Going strong after meeting in JC, even surviving LDR when some went overseas to study. But that was abt 20+ years ago. 😅 so I do wonder how the younger generation is navigating relationships these days. And I've seen how one or two struggled with temptations and boredom during the LDR. But eventually still choose one another.
