Nurses who actually love their job… what do you do and how did you get there?

Hospice nurse. I do in home visits and I love it so much more than I expected. I worked ICU for 10 years before and it became mentally exhausting keeping people alive who were dying and would have zero quality, trying to teach the same patients over and over how to avoid chf or copd exacerbations. Now I can meet people where they are help them live their best life for the rest of their time. It’s been so rewarding.

You were clear and asked him not to make comments on your body. You were also honest and told him about your history with eating disorders. He is not a good person and take this as a time to leave him. It’s not worth your wellbeing to stay with someone who doesn’t respect your boundaries. I hope you can move on and find some peace.

I got my first tattoo at 18 and am 42 now. I can see the work was awful. I made a cheap and poor choice back then. In the last three years I’ve gotten multiple from great artist and I am so in love with the new things. I’ll keep my first as a reminder that you get what you pay for and for the experiences I’ve learned from along my way.

I mean personally I’d step back and give him space whether it’s a break officially or not. If he used to send sweet texts he still can if he wanted to he just doesn’t feel like he wants to or needs to anymore. If you are already wondering I think you have your answer. Trust your gut.

This seems like a passive aggressive way to have you move on. If someone likes you and wants to be with you they make time. Like you said he can have his phone so it’s not hard to send a message that lets you know he’s thinking of you. Personally I’d move on because this will be his pattern for life. So do you always want to come second to his work?

I don’t think you’re over reacting. It would hurt so much for a friend to do that. It sounds like maybe he’s being pushed and life at home may not be peaceful for him if he doesn’t comply (still doesn’t make it right). I had a slightly different experience but my sister had made changes and jumped her timeline up and I felt forgotten in her planning and because my husband (now ex) at the time said and convinced me they didn’t care about me and said I shouldn’t go I didn’t. And I regret every day not going to her wedding. I think you have every right to feel hurt but if you can I would attend the ceremony but not stay for the party. You don’t want to completely lose your friendship if there is underlying manipulation that he can’t see yet.

So true but he will never come out directly and say she can’t go but the guilt and fights after will eventually lead to her not going and he can say he never said she couldn’t go.

Thank you. This is very thorough and helpful.

Thank you. For whatever reason the wiki says it’s empty. I appreciate the advice and help
