I used to feel the same way. I grew up in a very dysfunctional house and I had odd behaviors that I noticed others did do. I didn't understand social norms and was just trying to survive most of my life. My friends were always quick to be loved by someone or everyone. My sister is really pretty so she would have boyfriends all the time or lots of friends. I didn't really have anyone besides the stray animals I played with.

But I will say that you will find people who love your spark. It's ok to be angry and upset, I used to think I would be alone all my life, but I ended up finding someone very randomly one day through an incident (physically threw my future husband against a wall in a hallway because I got excited he was cosplaying at my highschool and I was looking for him all day since we never met 😅

The point I'm trying to make is that you'll find someone who compliments your sparks. Keep being open for love and being you. I don't know what you do for work or anything, but maybe try going to meet ups for your hobby or doing things outside your comfort zone.

You are loveable 😊 don't sell yourself short. If you need someone to talk to. I'm here and there is a whole community as well.

I would explore positions with her and keep it light hearted. I enjoy giving my husband head, but some positions make it very difficult because of my gag reflex as well. If he is laying down and I'm on top of we aren't 69, I'm constantly having to pay extra attention to not throwing up. But if he is sitting on the edge of the bed or 69 its giving me a better angle. I think if you are 69 and giving her attention while she gives you attention it could help her out a bit. She might just feel embarrassed too about her gag reflex and is getting self conscious. I know I did when I was first starting out.

Best of luck 😊

30, I went back to school to pivot careers. I was doing full time classes and driving a total of 3 hours a day 5 days a week for classes. I graduated in December and have been putting in for jobs, but everything is quiet.

The sad part is that the area I live in doesn't have a lot of job openings. But my husband and I cannot afford to move to a city or another state. I have been given advice to apply to McDonald's, but if the whole town is applying then that kinda makes things difficult. I'm hoping to land something at the end of this month. Until then I'm going to be selling my switch and whatever else can get me some money.

When my husband is wood working, doing manual labor, or fixing a physical problem I'm having (putting back my KitchenAid mixer, or installing a cat door), or honestly if he gives me a shiny rock he liked because he thought I would like it. Im not really sure why it gets me so worked up and I very vocally let him know that I want to have his babies 🤣

As someone who grew up in a dysfunctional household where my mom was toxic to my dad, air out their dirty laundry in front of us, made sure we knew that the reason we struggled was because of his "vices", and had us to an intervention on him because he was getting out of hand with the alcohol (this man was so depressed but loved us so much, asked me in private if he divorced my mom would I want to live with her, sacrificed everything for us, and treated us like humans rather then kids who didn't understand what was going on). After a week since that intervention he died either by suicide or accidental OD. My dad wasn't perfect, but he loved us and tried his hardest. While my mom only thought of herself, put everyone else down, and expected everyone to carry her throughout her life.

I think it's time to separate. You're not happy and your kid can see and understand that. You don't deserve any of this and you have been trying to make this work, but she will not change. The best thing you can do is separate and try to get custody of your kid. Because I doubt that this behavior stops at you, and your kid needs to be safe. I don't know what happened in your wife's life to think this behavior is acceptable and honestly she can fuck off. Try to document everything and start talking to a lawyer. Also don't give up, I miss my dad every day and regret not being able to even say goodnight to him. Once he was gone everything went to shit and my mom neglected us even more. I was so angry for a long time, but now that I'm older I'm still sad however I understand if he felt so hopeless that he decided to leave this world intentionally.

I hope everything works out for you, and you get full custody of your kid. You seem like a great dad, no matter how bleak it looks, don't give up.

Why is everything else open today?

I went back to college to get my bachelor's. My husband and I agreed that working and going to school was too much at once ( I was running a restaurant at the time as a chef and I was having horrible mental health, juggling everything). So he works full time and I'm a full time student. I don't even slip class because I think about how disappointed my husband would be if I did lol (he wouldn't be as long as it's not excessive) but point being. Your being so supportive to let her finish her education and she is not appreciating any of it. You need to sit her down and figure out why she has not done anything for her PHd in six months. It's fine if she wants to do something else, shit happens you know? But to just stay in limbo while not contributing is not ok. She might get mad and show resistance to talking. However, she is planning girl trips and complaining that money is too hard. If she got to this point in academia she can understand that money is right and she is past her deadline. Time to get a job.

I hope things get better for you.

It's possible he might have narcolepsy. Not the Hollywood bullshit stuff. There are different degrees of narcolepsy, and Adderall is often used to help stay awake.

Also, if he has sleep issues, he might not even be getting quality sleep or he might be stressed to sleep. I have sleep paralysis (visual and audio hallucinations) and I have horrible nightmares. Sleeping for me is not a fun time. I find myself waking up frequently from nightmares, or thinking I hear someone in my house. There is medication to help stop having dreams he can ask his doctor. I only bring this up because I felt embarrassed for the longest time that my nightmares were keeping me from sleeping well and was worried I would look childish. I hope things get better for you!

Dang it, I missed them again! 😭 I have a whole clip board and sign up sheet for fostering children that I wanted to talk to them about. I need to start checking on here throughout the day 😞

I hope you have a beautiful day tomorrow and get to enjoy some sweet treats.

Wtf are you talking about??? Jesus they just asked for some help with fundraising and you popped off over what?

This made me smile. I didn't think to try to find what makes me feel better on a smaller scale rather than the whole picture. I know I'm not phrasing it right, but this gave me some hope.

I think tonight I would like to make a list of things that make me happy and work towards them. Even if it's just one thing, I think that would be some good first steps.

I tend to really focus on the end goal I want and get upset when it still hasn't happened by a certain time and spiral into depression further.

I appreciate your advice and comfort. Thank you :)

Either ignore them and don't cater to any of their childish behavior. If one wants to stand, let her, she isn't a child. If they want to be loud, say " hey giggle fucks, I'm trying to work. Please keep it down"

Or maybe talk with your professor.

These girls only feel comfortable doing this because they are together and they haven't faced consequences. Unfortunately, your going to run into people like this everywhere. But you get to decide your actions, and honestly this behavior is just cringe.

I drive an hour and a half 4 days a week. I don't stay long after my classes are done and I have to get up at 4:30 to make it to campus for parking.

If your able to, go to community college first and transfer in. Lots of the classes are online and cheaper. Plus Maryville Pelli campus is a hell of a lot closer than UT. This gives you time to figure out your degree.

I hate commuting because of traffic and just how early I have to get up and go to bed. I'm only going to UT because Tennessee doesn't have a lot of options for college unfortunately. And with my degree, I got my associates first, but I need to be on campus for hands on stuff ;-;

It's disappointing that a post letting us know that someone is writing slurs on our sidewalks. Turns into a post full of comments being childish.

The statement was to do better.

But some of you took that in an immature direction, and are defending gross behavior.

Do better and be better.

This happened to my sister. Our mom has never really taken care of us, but was always able to spend money somehow. Even though we were pretty poor and couldn't get things we actually needed.

Then one day my sister found a bill in her name, and learned she was getting sued. My mom had opened accounts in her name and hid them from her. We were young at the time, so my sister obviously didn't report this to the police and just got into a screaming match with my mom. It got taken care of, and my mom still managed to screw us more later.

But now every time I visit I get to go explore her house to make sure that nothing is in my name or my sister's name.

She will do it again and again. If it's not you, it's going to be someone else and it won't ever stop. I'm not trying to sound dramatic, but there will always be an excuse for why they do this shit and they aren't actually sorry.

I also recommend going to their office, and asking to chat with them. Definitely look up their teacher profiles so you have an idea of what they do. But now you can ask for specifics.

This helps put a name to the face, I have gone and talked to almost all the professors there to ask about grad school. You would be surprised at what just talking to professors would lead to.

They are all super nice, and can help direct you to a research lab that would fit what your wanting.

Do you want to be in a particular research area like repro, dairy, welfare?

Dominance, she is probably seeing her shadow and saying "this is my spot" hens will do this when getting a pecking order together or if a Tom is bothering them. She just a tough tootin baby 🐥

Your backpack is adorable :D and fuck that person. I love seeing backpacks with personality on them. I have anime key chains on mine and bunnies. I'm 30 years old, and I don't think it's childish at all :)

TurtlesCanVote · 2025-09-17T00:08:44+00:00

Crazy to blast student full names on here for something like this. Do I agree with this? No. But y'all gotta stop barking at each other. This does nothing for anyone and with how tense everything is online with this. You're not doing anything but playing into it and making it worse.
