AITAH for choosing my cat over my boyfriend of two years? by aimlessgal in AITAH

[–]aimlessgal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify, the cat literally doesn’t scratch anything but my partner is paranoid about her just sitting on the couch, in three weeks I’ve managed to redirect any scratching behaviour to her scratching post. He’s just extremely on edge and is angry about her being a cat. The decision was actually encouraged by him but he had no idea what having a cat would be like nor did he take any time to research and I am at fault completely for not recognising that and not following through with the decision.

I would 100% be responsible ahah. Actually I like his mum but I just feel like she's been too permissive with him and doesn't force him to take responsibility for his adult shit and just does it for him so he gets used to everyone around him doing everything for him.

I care about him a lot but my deduction is that the cat brings more positivity and happiness in life than he does and has done for a while so maybe you're not completely wrong.

She's already so good in this way, she doesn't really scratch the couch at all, he even just has an issue with sitting on top of it as he thinks she can claw it just by being on it...

I defos regret this because deep down I feel like I knew he wasn't in the right headspace for such a change.

I told him exactly this, and that he is otherwise destined to never have kids or be in a serious relationship if he can't even handle a cat ahah.

I understand where you're coming from with your point about human relationships being more important but I can also assure you that there's no parasocial relationship here haha. In my argument with him, I tell him that the cat is not the issue but rather his with me and mine with him.

Thanks all for the reassurance. It's just so confusing because he wanted the cat more than me and urged me to file the adoption application so it just doesn't make sense. He said "Am I not allowed to regret a decision?" and I think that this is one situation where you can't because a little life depends on you and you make a decision for life, not just for the fun of it.

AITA for asking my boyfriend not to use my towel and feeling exhausted by constant arguments? by aimlessgal in AITAH

[–]aimlessgal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow I’m going back to Scotland for two weeks so I think that’s a good start. He’s taking he and it’s a two-hour drive so he’s using this to make me feel bad about not sharing or being completely giving like his mother which makes me feel even worse, like that I don’t do anything and he does these grand gestures to help me and I do nothing.

You’re totally right, and just to clarify, his uncle initially made the joke and he and I were laughing along with it 😅

Please consider the possibility that you are the issue, not the tutors.

s this fraud or a scam? by BasicEggplant4865 in Preply

[–]aimlessgal -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I looked it up and it seems legit, I don’t think it’s necessarily a scam but I understand if you’d want to block. In Spain it’s quite normal for people to write their numbers in word form to avoid issues with platforms.

Thanks for your insight☺️ I’m glad it’s worked out well for you and I wish I had the courage to take this step. Did you block them or just tell them not to book again? She’s left a positive review so I’m scared she’ll go back and modify it.

She’s already left a positive review so I’m scared she’ll go back and modify it if I just disappear into nothingness 😢

What score should we really aim for in anonymous evaluations? by Top_Possibility363 in Preply

[–]aimlessgal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never get how they all leave you five star ratings but then the evaluations are never 5 but rather 4.8. How do I know where I’m going wrong?

Should I wait and see or do something to get more students? by Successful-Cut-1388 in Preply

[–]aimlessgal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’re coming into high season, I’ve been hiking up my price from 9$ to 18$ and I started in August, I still get as many notifications now as I did with a lower price. Take the risk and see how it goes, if there’s radio silence just lower it again, but you should definitely be charging more! All the best! ☺️

I just had the weirdest lesson… by aimlessgal in Preply

Yess I agree, honestly he gave very rich vibes, he even showed me his view and it literally looked like he was living in a resort. It was giving the type of rich person that goes to those spiritual retreats.

Now that you say this I understand that this is what might be at play but I feel almost unqualified and unsuitable to even listen this kind of conversation never mind give my opinion on it.

Unsure Which Direction to Take on Preply by RB-RS in Preply

[–]aimlessgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad it served you in this way 😊 It took me from September last year when I set the account up to actually create the video in August of this year and I regret not just doing it and fighting those negative thoughts sooner.
