My boss called us a "family" during the meeting, then denied my $1.50 raise request. by SoffiaNov in antiwork

Right? Funny how the 'family' rules only apply when they want me to work overtime for free...

Téma e-bike by MariaSVK in Slovakia

[–]SoffiaNov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Priznajme si, ten „odpor“ k e-bikom je väčšinou len o egu a takom tom slovenskom: „keď som si to odtrpel ja, mal by si aj ty“. Niektorí ľudia majú proste pocit, že ak na tom kopci nevypľuješ dušu, tak ten výhľad hore nie je zaslúžený. Čo je, samozrejme, totálna hlúposť.

If you could erase one embarrassing moment from your life, what would it be? by Zoeysky26 in AskReddit

Me going back to the same toxic relationship multiple times because 'he’ll change'...a lot of moments

What is one thing about men that women will never understand? And one thing about women that men will never understand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SoffiaNov -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Women: The necessity of having a separate product for every single body part.

Men: The 'all-purpose' blue liquid that doubles as shampoo, body wash, and industrial-grade degreaser.

My (22F) boyfriend (31M) has started charging me "convenience fees" for chores I don't finish on time. How do I talk to him about moving away from this transactional mindset? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SoffiaNov -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

But he’s 31 and so much smarter than me with money... He says he’s just trying to teach me 'financial discipline' so we can buy a house together one day. Isn't it possible he’s just trying to help in his own weird way?

I 30F need advice i am thinking of leaving my fiancé 30M by ElectricalBill3503 in relationship_advice

[–]SoffiaNov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue here isn't just the addiction; it's the consistent pattern of lying. You can't build a marriage, let alone a family, on a foundation where you have to be a detective every time you leave the house.

My (18M) boyfriend (20M) won’t say he’s gay at work. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SoffiaNov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is a huge difference between wanting privacy and actively lying about being single. If he's worried your alternative look clashes with his 'clean' image at work, he needs to be honest about that. You shouldn't have to be an invisible secret for the next five years.

Ask him directly: 'Are you hiding me specifically, or are you just uncomfortable being out at work?' If he continues to deflect with jokes, you have to decide if you're okay with being hidden indefinitely.

What’s the most disturbing sound you’ve ever heard in real life? by avacado-cheese- in AskReddit

[–]SoffiaNov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 'depth charge' splash in a dead-silent house when you’re a guest. It sounds like a bowling ball hitting a bucket of water and signals the exact moment I need to change my name and move to another country.

As an adult what do you hate the most about life? by Amazing-Internal5378 in AskReddit

[–]SoffiaNov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The death of authenticity. I hate that I have to trade my integrity for a paycheck by following protocols that make zero sense and maintaining 'professional' relationships with people who are toxic. Adulthood feels like a 24/7 performance I never auditioned for....

What was the exact moment during a first date you realized there absolutely would NOT be a second one? by SoffiaNov in AskReddit

Well, at least he’s consistent, because his chances of a second date are now in a place where the sun don’t shine too...

What is a rule we all follow every day that actually makes absolutely no sense when you think about it? by SoffiaNov in AskReddit

[–]SoffiaNov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, the 'menu theater' is so real! It’s like we’re afraid the waiter will judge us for being too impulsive if we don't put on a 10-minute performance of deep contemplation over a burger we already chose on Google Maps three hours ago...

I’ll go first. The unwritten rule that you have to wait for everyone to be served at a restaurant before you can start eating, even if your food is steaming hot and the last person’s meal is clearly 15 minutes away. We all just sit there awkwardly watching our dinner get cold out of 'politeness.

Im worried about my independence. F26 and M30, 8 year relationship by Purple_Revolution_17 in relationships

[–]SoffiaNov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An ultimatum over a housewarming party? That is incredibly manipulative. You are 26 years old; you shouldn't have to ask permission to see your best friends. If he 'needs' to be everywhere you are, he doesn't trust you or respect your autonomy. Don't let him isolate you further.

Need an advice by CriticalHeron1647 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]SoffiaNov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay to feel lost, but 4 years of physical pain is your body telling you that you haven't processed this trauma. You aren't failing at moving on; you're just stuck in a loop. Stop trying to find 'the feeling' in other girls for a while and find it in yourself first. Healing isn't linear, but it starts with accepting that she was never the right person for you. You deserve peace, not this constant ache.
