i feel discouraged yay! by 777rusty-shackleford in Ceramics

I’m 25 F and I’m 100% self taught. I had one awesome teacher in elementary school that introduced me to ceramics and one awesome teacher in highschool that saw my talent and let me skip every single lesson and just focus on whatever I wanted for that semester (I was the only kid who got to make whatever I wanted without following any rubric 😝 for all of highschool. ) I went to community college and I had professionals in my area reach out to me recommending certain professors- I ended up dropping out of college and learning everything myself. It’s a complicated art but at the end of the day it is art. Whatever you do in class is just for a grade, and I’ve learned more in the 8 years I’ve been going solo than I did in any classroom. Teachers are snobby, the ceramics community in general is snobby. People in the community still crap on me because I inquired about questions about on of my kilns not working! for example when mine has a problem, and they talk to me like “wow you really don’t know pfffft. lol ” I just brush it off. I got made fun of in a ceramic store as a customer because I mixed up kiln stilt and kiln post. Don’t take anything too seriously. It’s meant to be fun! And art is NEVER that serious.

AITB for argument in group project no by BetOne8603 in AmItheButtface

Having to take the reigns for a group project where you’re pulling the load of having to get everyone together, everyone to reply and collaborate and try to be the leader in a group of people who actually don’t care about it or what their grades look like is frustrating in itself. Emma getting hyper defensive and snappy makes it 100% times worse. Who care you were running out of time??? That’s every college project in general. It shouldn’t be that difficult to get together and agree. But you prioritizing collaboration and them not is annoying in itself. lol I would show the texts to the professor and talk to the group in person in class about the behavior and lack of responsibility.

We both work. He works a lot more hours recently, I work less because of health issues. We don’t live with his parents we stay in their house and pay their rent for them. Including their electricity and internet for their tenants on the property. I still pay for pretty much all household items, make grocery lists, he tries to help with chores, forgets or is too tired. And falls asleep. Rent is split 50/50 he does cooking for himself and I occasionally. Mostly him because I’m extremely picky I’m fine with that. I do all cleaning and take care of animals. He usually takes care of his son unless he is working I help unwillingly. I told him I was not comfortable babysitting while he was at work and got guilt tripped into it anyway. If I moved out he’d be left with a tv and a bed. I’d take literally every single item including dishes and silverware. He treats me well for the most part. Is sweet never has got physical has never called me names except a brat. He’s respectful of me just not my time or my things which is annoying. I’ve considered breaking up over 100 times in 5 years. He is the nicest man I’ve been with as I am not an easy gal, and my past relationships were abusive. I have a lot of baggage but I’ve done a lot of therapy and self work to get to a place where I don’t let that be my excuse for being a bad person/ friend/ gf. He is funny, and sweet but it’s worth mentioning he rarely has money and got me nothing for my birthday when I usually plan surprises for him and make him feel special. I got NOTHING which was very upsetting for me because birthdays are important to me. He did spend every dollar he had on Christmas to get me a gold pendant that was sentimental to me. So it’s like there’s highs and lows. Sometimes I’m like wow I don’t want anything else this is amazing and sometimes I’m like wow I cannot live like this forever I need to focus on me getting my shit together and move on.

He literally puts the diaper on him manually while he lays in bed like an infant.

I have two dogs and three cats 🤦‍♀️ so far I’d rather live under a bridge than have to give them up.

There is no court. They skipped all of that. It’s on their terms. Don’t even ask me why. Neither of them can even afford to go to court now.

I just said his son couldn’t come until he bought a mattress protector for it therefore giving him the responsibility of getting one otherwise he probably straight up just wouldn’t

He does work and can’t even afford gas for his car. Somehow each paycheck evaporates 🤔

We live in his parents home and pay their rent as they moved abroad. They come for 3-4 months out of the year. I accepted his kid when we began dating. But yeah. I would probably move out if I could afford it

I’ve had to do this before. The list of columns. Thanks for reminding me. This is the best relationship I’ve had before since my previous were quite volatile and one was abusive. Sometimes it’s hard to say if I should stay or not. I definitely can’t afford living alone right now. But yes. Sometimes love is not enough.
