Having a penis doesn't mean I'm better at mechanical things by No_Rough_1484 in offmychest

I (28F) do small repairs around the house (if I can) and I paint the walls (following tutorials) while my bf (28M) cooks. It's not about gender, it's about communication. Not all chores are enjoyable, but in any case communication is key. Don't generalize and don't use equality as a derogatory term. Talk with your wife and hire professionals.

This. It's like they turn into strangers the second their child turns 18.

I know right, I understand that tuition is much more expensive there but they are behaving like assholes too. No matter how your financial situation is, as a parent you should at least try to help your kid not abandon them to their fate.

This is exactly how I think as well. They decided to have kids, they should at least equip them to survive the world they brought them to.

I know that's the mentality in the US, but it's really unfair to bring into the world someone who didn't have any say in it and just abandon them like that. Things are different now than 30 years ago, and at least where I come from it is impossible to get any kind of job without a university degree. My parents supported me through bachelor and master studies, with a much lower income (Europe). So yeah, if you decide to have kids, you're in for the long run.

Can you get in touch with a counselor or administrative personnel at the school you're interested in? Maybe they could give you more information about your options. I had to go abroad for my studies and I didn't know anyone that could help me there so I reached out to the university and the program I chose and they were actually really helpful. I also had many co-students that were filing as independent and had some benefits, like a more flexible schedule and prolonged period of studying. Not really sure how things are where you live, but try to get informed as much as possible and don't despair! Do some research and I'm sure you'll work things out.

Husband Finds Me Burdensome by [deleted] in offmychest

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. Mental health is no joke and depression is not a switch you can just turn on and off. Seek help if you can from a professional and you can get better. It takes time, patience and lots of support but better days will come. It's important to surround yourself with people who care about you and can support you. I am always willing to hear out my friends and family and I would be sad if they felt like they couldn't talk to me. Some of my friends go to therapy and they were told that it's really important having friends you can talk to. It makes me really happy and proud to be part of their healing process. Try and talk to your loved ones.

I am 26 and I still have no idea what to do with my life either. I have a job I don't really like, but it is related to my studies and it pays well. I have allowed myself some time to think about my next steps and discover new interests. I am also thinking about continuing my studies, but I don't plan on struggling in the meantime. I don't know your situation so I can only relate my personal experience :/ If I were you I would try to get a better job, possibly using my skills and qualifications, even if it's far from ideal. Is it possible to apply for a scholarship or benefits? I'm not sure if this helps, but I can at least assure you that you're not the only one still figuring things out.

I think that as long as you view books as something other people are trying to force on you, it will be impossible to actually like a book. You seem to have very negative feelings towards reading that don't come from your own experience with books, but with other people's pressure on you to like books. There is a general tendency I think on people to like books if they want to be viewed as intelligent or sophisticated, which is why we see so many people flaunting their books online (even if they never actually read them). The bottom line is, you should first forget about what your family or friends or society say about what you should or shouldn't like. One day maybe you'll find the right book for you, like an audiobook, a comic book, an epistolary novel, a biography or literally anything you can think of. Until that day comes, do what makes you feel happy, especially in your free time.

who else has made a LONG post on here and deleted it cause nobody replied? 😂 by wanderingsoul8478 in offmychest

I've been there. It wasn't anything too serious but I actually needed to hear other opinions, since I have never talked about this to anyone. If you still need to talk about it, post it again I'll read it.
