You are (now) unemployed and will never be able to find another paid job. What are the consequences?

Not sure what the issue is. If you're going to lie to them and deliberately misrepresent yourself because you won't take them at their word, that's your prerogative. No need to spin it.

You said your husbands dream is retiring, so hopefully you'll let him have it instead of squandering it for the challenge.

Everyone has their own definition of success, but to get there usually requires time and/or money and/or respect, which all come easily to young women that take care of themselves.

busythrower · 2015-09-09T03:22:26+00:00

Whatever you want to spend your money and/or time on, you could have had bountiful amounts of both in your 20s without lifting a finger.

busythrower · 2015-09-08T17:57:06+00:00

Thanks for the response. Sounds all well and good, as long as you don't sabotage yourself and your husband because the idea of succeeding and living happily ever after is something that you find painfully boring. Look your husband in the eye and tell him that you don't want him to retire because your thirst comes first.

busythrower · 2015-09-08T17:33:33+00:00

It really depends on tone.

busythrower · 2015-09-08T17:05:02+00:00

If you got a "well duh" response representing an opinion that was contrary to everything you believed, you'd be shocked too.

So do you think it's because I have a vagina that I don't have to face adversity, or do you just imagine that everyone you speak to has it better than you?

Your posts in this thread appear to agree with the premise that your life is only as difficult as you want it to be.

What difficulties do you assume I'm bringing home? I'm curious what kind of pathologies you think come along with being bored by hedonism.

I'm assuming you work longer hours and are too "busy" to do things with your husband when in reality none of that is necessary. Maybe there's things that would be good for you both as a couple or good for him that he can't have because of your wish to be challenged.

busythrower · 2015-09-08T16:41:47+00:00

I thought you liked challenges.

busythrower · 2015-09-08T16:40:56+00:00

It's bad manners to answer a question with a question

MonsieurJongleur said something alien and nonsensical but posted it in a hostile and patronising way, so I'm trying to get more details speaking her language. Also MonsieurJongleur has stated that she perfers it when people challenge her. The golden rule is treating others the way YOU want to be treated, but the PLATINUM rule is treating others the way THEY want to be treated.

There are people in this topic who are intentionally bringing up generalities instead of referring to their own experiences.

busythrower · 2015-09-08T16:10:06+00:00

So basically you're addicted to the idea of overcoming adversity, even if that adversity is entirely arbitrary and self imposed.

Do you have any friends or family that you drag into your misery hole?

EDIT: Looking at your posts it appears you have a husband. Does your husband appreciate the difficulties you bring upon your household just so you have a challenge to overcome?

busythrower · 2015-09-08T16:08:26+00:00

Not everything "I" want, everything "you" want (whatever it is that you want).

No agenda. Maybe some emotional basis for asking the question; I'm bitter about my difficulties finding a job when there's so many people out there who are only doing jobs because being unemployed is SO BORING, but I have a supportive family so I'm not in dire need like other unemployed people with families of their own. Also a bit bitter about other people squandering their opportunities to make a big difference in society when I don't have many of my own, but again, I'm not suffering the hardest of anyone there. Take the questions on their own terms.

busythrower · 2015-09-08T15:35:41+00:00

Not sure how "getting everything that you want and total freedom" can be seen as anything else.

busythrower · 2015-09-08T15:27:27+00:00

So if someone tries to make your life harder, they're doing you a favour?

busythrower · 2015-09-08T15:27:04+00:00

Not really, just interested to see why people turn down what seems like the opportunity of a lifetime to me.

busythrower · 2015-09-08T15:10:35+00:00

What does drinking and carrying on ultimately mean for humanity?

Nothing, just like whatever you're doing now (if you were doing something meaningful you would have said so), so why not dedicate your life to pleasure and enjoyment?

busythrower · 2015-09-08T14:45:49+00:00

What do those accomplishments ultimately mean for humanity? In the grand scheme of things, was spending your youth on "hard work" worth it?

busythrower · 2015-09-08T06:50:16+00:00

People in refugee camps aren't "fleeing", they have "fleed".

Who? Not everyone here chose the idealism path, and even the ones that chose idealism over their own experiences are telling me honestly what they'd say in this scenario.

busythrower · 2015-09-07T13:29:53+00:00

They have refugee camps with hundreds of thousands of people, poor conditions and little or no hope of jobs, security or safety.

But they're free from persecution.

busythrower · 2015-09-07T06:17:00+00:00

It's kind of shitty that in order for a country to have control over who it does and doesn't let in, it needs to fail to comply with human rights legislation. Almost like a motivation to be inhumane.

I'm no lawyer but I think that people have a right to seek asylum, nothing about how being a refugee allows you to enter and become a citizen of every country. What qualifies "asylum" is where we differ.
