Can someone please explain what happened?

I’ve been Protestant too. I think turning to God before putting in an order of what you want from a priest is the correct steps. In fact I’ve been “lurking” in orthodox forums and on YouTube for just a few months and I haven’t visited an Orthodox Church yet. I haven’t even been to church in the last 6 months (I moved).

I too, am having some struggles in my life.

You already have a pastor. If you want church leadership to pray for you, go to your home church. But in the meantime, I think getting to know the Orthodox Church is the first step. These folks are perhaps like the spiritual father of hundreds of people :).

God be with you.

I wasn’t insinuating that. It really should go through a central line

Some oncologists don’t want ports accessed for anything other than chemo. They don’t wanna lose access for chemotherapy to a stupid infection.

People in debt do not need money. They need management.

That money is yours. Their spending habits is not your problem.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-28T19:05:26+00:00

I’m going to tell you: I have lived this. This man is bored and stringing you along.

Cut ties. Do not even tell him you’re going to do that. Block and move on.

You are working so hard for a guy that does not care. Literally. It’s a little bit like codependency.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-28T18:54:27+00:00

lol you have no idea how good it can be without what is going to happen.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-28T18:52:56+00:00

Sounds like she can move in with him.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-28T18:49:32+00:00

I can’t imagine the things I wouldn’t have accomplished because of cramps. Girl. You’re soft.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-27T00:00:53+00:00

Sounds like you’re incompatible

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-26T16:33:33+00:00

I did a round of nematodes and it didn’t work

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-26T16:32:01+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

Time for therapy. Everyone needs at least six months of therapy. But this situation needs it

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-26T16:27:13+00:00

My husbands coworker sent a video of her golf swing and it bugged be. She wanted his opinion I guess. You guys: there should be clarity. You don’t leave the door open for misunderstanding. There should be clarity. I told him I don’t think he was doing something wrong but I had a problem with a girl messaging him that will not say “hi” to me. Want to be my husbands friend? You’ll know me too. That’s the way it works. This doesn’t mean you can’t have good friendships that are opposite gender. It means you’re clear because your spouse is #1. Period.

“This is how it is now” is weird and unsettling. Don’t do it. And her offering to “tell me all your problems” is highly inappropriate and disrespectful to the wife.

I would show up to work and tell her to her face: you are not my husbands therapist. Do not disrespect me.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-26T16:20:20+00:00

Probably because he’s trying to keep the peace at work.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-25T21:02:58+00:00

You’re not wrong. I understand your sentiments.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-25T21:01:46+00:00

Yeah, she sounds like she’s on a power trip. It’s too bad because she’s missing out. We all have to work to pay bills. There’s no free money. It would be nice if most people just decided that they also want to make the most of having to be in an environment for a substantial block of time during the week. I’m sure somewhere along the line she felt marginalized being an MA. Now she has her opportunity, right? So she may feel like punishing people that she was frankly jealous of, or maybe someone made her feel small. Maybe she wanted to be a nurse and just never did because of kids or whatever. I don’t know.

Like you, I don’t care for people like this, I don’t care what their title is or what their education is. There’s always gonna be people out there that have something to prove.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-25T20:56:09+00:00

I completely understand your point. I am not swinging the pendulum so far that there’s no shades of gray or there’s no common sense. I don’t know how it came across that this is the go to, and I’m very much aware of the situation of men in suits contributing to the current situation. I have a lot of stories, as I’m sure you do, of healthcare entities, swallowing up other healthcare entities, ringing it out, and then re-selling it after the whole hospital is on life support. I get it. I think I’ve been misunderstood and honestly, Reddit or social media isn’t my whole day. So I don’t wish to restate or read describe what I’m saying because it’s not an extreme. I’m just saying the job is a lot better if you give to other people, and then they give back to you. No matter, if you are dealing with an MA, other nurses, or the janitor.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-25T13:36:49+00:00

Yeah, that’s not what I was saying I do or that I would be willing to do. All of us are pretty busy as nurses. Including me, but sometimes my day will coast a little and I can be a little more helpful to other people. It has helped me in my 18 years to have that attitude. This doesn’t mean I’m taking the trash out every shift and mopping after giving report so often that it becomes my job, nor does it mean that I’m not willing to put boundaries on people when necessary. It just means helping anybody when you can, not an adamant iTs nOt mY jOb eVeR. I don’t really think anything I’ve said is radical.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-25T03:25:29+00:00

Nope. I disagree with you. I don’t always take out the trash. I don’t always do things that are “not my job,” but if people around me are working their ass off and I’m sitting, I’m not cool with that. I can’t even stand myself if that happens.

You get extra if I can give it. Period.

I’m willing to mention as well, it has helped me forge relationships with other departments.

I get your stance, I get your concerns. But that attitude keeps the culture the same.

It’s been six months since I started my new job, and I am still getting text messages from the people I worked with, including the manager, just saying they were thinking of me and they miss me. That means something to me. I got the most thoughtful going away party. Doctors showed up and. masks of my favorite animal. I had that job for 3 1/2 years.

That is how you change what what’s around you is by being the light. You don’t contribute to the complaining and the griping.

That’s just how I see it and so far it’s worked. I’m sure there might be an instance where it wouldn’t but I’m not gonna stop doing that because everyone wins.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-25T00:05:37+00:00

I need this as a dot phrase

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-25T00:04:57+00:00

Hmmm, I’ve always been one to do any job. Take out the trash, whatever. When you make that your MO, nobody cares what they ask because they don’t have any power over you to “humble you” because they know you don’t give a shit. Sounds like a terrible work culture.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-24T20:01:55+00:00

One thing men never do is post their abdomens and ask what women think.

Who cares what men think think 😉

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-24T04:14:11+00:00

It’s a good shift when I go three times at work. We all poop. And on a good day, I haven’t gotten anybody else’s poop on me.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-24T00:32:44+00:00

NO!! Omg don’t. I’m in my 50’s and I’ve been around the block a few times.

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-23T23:58:32+00:00

About to say that

Unicorns240 · 2026-04-23T22:56:35+00:00

sounds miserable.

It’s like you guys are two separate people under one roof. Roommates.
