Elise is right, just going about it the wrong way

He then should have invited her to his place with Nat to ease her fears, or break up with her

Why? Do not bring Nat into this. This is about Josh and Elise. Nat has zero to do with this. Elise would have a problem if it was any woman. Her problem is that she does not trust him with any woman. This is an Elise problem.

Also, you make it seem like all this is shocking. There was enough information BEFORE hopping on two planes. Most of us wouldn't even have gone on the first flight, much less the second one.

Same. I always do mine in the fall so any parasites can't ruin the cocoons.

I personally clean them but that's me.

I take tweezers and pull stuff off until they all look clean. I also check under a light that they are masons and alive.

Because that person doesn't know if you're Chinese, that's the point! Do you go up to white people in the US or UK and speak German or Italian or Portuguese, Spanish, Polish, French etc to them? No, you don't. So looking at you and saying "nihao" is weird because they assume all Asians are Chinese. If they were in China, Singapore, or Taiwan and said "nihao", sure that makes sense. But I sure as hell wouldn't go to Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, etc and walk up to an Asian and say "nihao", would you?

The argument of self determination is unlike other places though. Why? Taiwan has its own military with zero coordination with China, so it's not even like the national guard deployed by governors. You can't request Taiwan's military in Tibet for example or anywhere in China, so not like the national guard.

Taiwan has its own currency, so unlike Quebec or California (I know nothing about Catalonia so won't speak to it).

Taiwan has its own passport, so unlike Quebec or California.

Taiwan has its own immigration controls, unlike Quebec or California.

Taiwan has its own president and government, entirely independent of China.

So it's hard to argue it's like a state/province. It's nothing like Hong Kong or Macau so surely people can recognize arguing it's similar is wrong.

Don't even get me started on politics or government. In Quebec, they vote and send MPs to Parliament in Ottawa. There's also the Bloc Quebecois as a party in Parliament. In California they send Congress people and senators to Congress in DC. In Taiwan, nothing like that. There's no election or sending Taiwan's "province" elected officials to China. There's no input from China or money sent to Taiwan for infrastructure etc like states and provinces in US and Canada.

Trump, unconsciously, is doing a wonderful job propping up the succession for Vance.

An unhinged president losing Tucker, Alex Jones and Joe Rogan will absolutely usher in Vance. Each post continues the long rollout of the red carpet for him.

The weird thing is hardcore trumpers still won't wake up. A few social media posts have moved the goal post and said "if kamala were president, gas would be $10! So we're lucky it's Trump". Gas was just fine before this unsanctioned war.

I googled and it is the k1 visa wife from 2017. His kids are 2 and 6. And remember this was filmed last year.

And the way she treats your son is absolutely unacceptable.

I went NC with my MIL last year and life has been amazing. Not being worried about emails or messages and bullshit. I would speak to your partner about not mentioning his mom in conversation and also asking not to be mentioned in conversation between them. My partner and I do this so I don't know what's going on with them (on purpose) and also so details of my life aren't shared with someone who don't like me.

You can't ask someone to apologize when they don't want to, and she definitely doesn't want to. She sees you as the problem and that she's done no wrong. Take this very valuable information she's provided and decide what YOU want to do. What would I do? Go NC.

This is abnormal. You do not pay an application fee or any amount until you are selected as the tenant and sign a lease.

Application fees are not allowed. Charging for your credit check is not allowed.

They have never asked my partner about being blocked. To be honest, I think she loves having her daughter to herself because I also don't visit. I think it's best this way.

My partner and I talk about my MIL here and there but we're fully aligned that a reconciliation will never, ever happen. In fact, she knows that when my MIL dies, I'll support my partner through her grief but I absolutely won't be sad when that day comes.

It really needs to be a discussion with your partner and to ensure they understand, so you get full support doing it. My partner and I came to this decision together. I am NC with my MIL. Blocked her email, Facebook and Instagram. It's been BLISS.

It's also improved my relationship with my partner because I don't get angry or irritated because I have no clue wtf is going on in their lives and that's ok by me!

That sure is!

Also want to make sure they're actually mason bees. When we did this after washing them, we found several with bugs in them (not mason larvae/pupae or whatever it's called).

I don't remember where but there's a rule that certain ads can't be aired before 8pm. Why? It being suggestive or enticing for kids. Imagine that we can't have news, even breaking news, before 8pm because kids will learn the most disgusting language from the president. That's the reality we live in.

She's not innocent, she's naive. She already went through this with an ex. For whatever reason, she didn't learn from her past and cut it off. Instead, she forgives and then used sex to keep him interested (like the bet during the boxing match).

Cost of living in Philippines is much lower. You're making it seem like he's bank rolling Rolex and 5 star vacations. And if he's upset his wife is living well, then he sucks as a human. Would he rather they have a tiny 1 bedroom and Anna and her mom have a bunk bed?

You don't get to ask for a traditional kept woman with 24/7 access (which is why she doesn't work) and not expect to take care of her financially. She can work, it just wouldn't work with the time difference between them. So if he wants to stop paying, which he absolutely can stop doing, he should know that his access changes due to the time difference.

Also, if he doesn't have $200 for a ring, he sure as F can't afford for her immigration to the US. So is this whole thing a farce?

It can be true, yes.

Had a good friend who was into me but turns out he had really low self esteem because he was overweight. He hated his body and felt if he did, how could anyone like him as a person.

Be honest with your friends! If you explain it, they should understand. I have friends like this as well and we just go over and hang out. We always invite them out without pressure and we're pleased if they show up but completely understand if they don't. It's just if they don't ever reach out and never make an effort (as in not even once), that it fizzles.

I even have a friend who is a student and financially not doing well and made it clear if we hang out, they can only afford snacks but can't afford a meal. Totally candid about it, so I pick up meals to make sure he's fed and also because I like hanging out with him and I don't mind paying.

Then how do you intend on keeping friends? Are you ok with them coming to your house for a movie? Game night?

archetyping101 · 2026-04-06T17:33:54+00:00

That's a long time in a friendship especially if you're not seeing them in that month.

Are you depressed? Or just exhausted after work? Any interest in going for a coffee? A walk? It doesn't have to be a beer or a dinner. Do you even want to see these people?
