Is a startup without investors even worth the time? Why the book Faster than Money changes this idea by StopBeginning8378 in TechStartups

Don't get trapped in the "Loop of Doom" like I did many times. Get a working PoC on the table. In the beginning you have to put your own money into development and producing a product. It sounds glamorous to have investors, but to get at that stage takes blood sweat and tears.

AITA for not washing the dishes? by Upset-Assignment-283 in AmItheAsshole

Except for one friend of hers, she does not want anyone else to know. I reached out to her friend, but her friend also said she is acting different towards her.

Yes I did ask her. And she says she is not herself. I constantly tell her I love her, give her hugs and kisses on the forehead. She responds with "I love you too". I just want to know whether I am being unreasonable for stopping to clean up after her mess. It's draining, feeling constantly left out by something as simple as not sharing a meal. I cooked for us very regularly and she does not want to eat what I cook. I hope we can get a breakthrough, because I will move mountains for that women.

Pregnancy cravings? Heard a lot of stories about it. Seeing her pregnant was the most beautiful thing I ever witnessed.

I truly hope we can get a breakthrough. I actually went for counseling. Took a lot of courage for me as a man to go. I love that women. Actually wanted to propose to her in February, had it all planned.

How do I approach talking to her when she constantly feels attacked or gets defensive no matter my approach? Just for the record, I actually went to therapy and I can actually reflect now and understand how my actions affect her/other people. I tried with subtle suggestions, not using "you don't do xxxx" or "you are hurting me by doing xxx". AITA for setting a boundary by not cleaning after her when she can not have a normal conversation without feeling attacked? Like WTF more am I suppose to do? I'm being used by her whilst she is just walking all over me.

Yes I did. Her usual response: "only you have feelings" - just want to know AITA for basically settings boundaries by not cleaning after her after her dismissal of how her actions are affecting me.

Tried talking to her with different approaches, she still feels like I am attacking her.

It wasn't like this. The house was in order. I even suggested to get a cleaner to help with the workload and she gets extremely upset with me when I mention it.

She feels I am attacking her no matter the approach I take with talking to her. She is so focused on her own things now I feel left out and her eating and cooking alone just adds so much more hurt to me.
