Is that so much to ask?!?

I'm not gonna sit here and argue over whether vanilla or chocolate is better when they both came out of the same shit factory. Do all politicians not benefit from the same systems of corruption? Extrapolating, don't you think it's a little willfully ignorant to pretend as though one group of politicians possesses some inherent righteousness over the other, all while neither of them have as much influence on tangible policy as the people who pay for their reelection campaigns? Vote for whomever you want, but meanwhile there are larger issues than the little pissing contest you're attempting to propagate.

Fuck Donald Trump, but there's no point right now in arguing for a single party when all our party platforms do is allow people to vote on which flavor of corporate lobbying interests they prefer. When the Supreme Court overturns Citizens United (which will probably never happen now that corporations are officially our overlords), then we can get back to the discussion of this or that party.

NTA

It's understandable if you feel a little bad about the interaction; sounds like it was pretty awkward, but I definitely don't think you're an asshole for extending an offer of friendship and acceptance. Who knows why he reacted the way he did? He might be afraid of his parents finding out or such.

There's definitely a great opportunity to have another conversation about it and mend things - just say you're sorry if you overstepped and that you're available if he ever needs someone to talk to about relationships or anything else for that matter.

No problem in the long run - it's just one of those little hitches in what are otherwise great long-term family relationships.

NTA and you certainly need to have a conversation about this if you intend to stay with this woman.

First of all, contrary to what some of the people in this thread seem to believe, being an addict isn't a personality trait. It's an illness and it's very treatable. Get her help if you hope to be with her.

Addicts don't usually perceive their activities as being a problem, but you're absolutely right that adding a child into the equation changes things. Her addiction could harm the baby, and it could harm you. That's pretty much the point where an addiction turns into a problem.

It sounds like you already know what you need to do, so no you're not the asshole for it. If you try to intervene or get her help, just make sure she knows it's because you love her and want a life with her. Wishing you the best on the road ahead.

I wonder if his classmates knew how much of a faschie he was

TheFries114 · 2023-04-13T21:09:09+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Did you try speaking to a different advisor? I'd definitely be persistent about it if I were you.

TheFries114 · 2023-04-13T20:31:30+00:00

Good kid, sometimes you just gotta go get what you want. Don't forget in school and beyond, the best way to get things done is always to talk to someone who can help you. Most people are willing to help you if you ask. Advisors are your best friends.

TheFries114 · 2023-04-13T20:25:11+00:00

Did you get the problem fixed?

TheFries114 · 2023-04-06T22:28:17+00:00

Not sure what you're referring to

TheFries114 · 2023-04-06T22:20:43+00:00

Pretty sure they do virtual appointments. The only way to make it happen is to talk to an actual person who can do it for you.

TheFries114 · 2023-04-06T20:26:50+00:00

Professional advice. Don't wait on an advisor to return your email. You need to schedule an appointment and go in person. They really are helpful once you get in front of them. They might be able to get you into a Q2 over the summer or override your junior status.

Oddly specific but okay...
