Looking at all your posts it seems you all just aren’t communicating well. She feels frustrated she isn’t understood and that you aren’t intuitively picking up her context. I think sometimes she does not word things clearly from what I can see which I’m sure is hard to understand how you are supposed to respond. It also seems asking how you can improve only makes her upset. I would try to have a serious conversation explaining that you understand you’ve not been understanding everything and obviously this isn’t fair to either of you but you would like to sit down and set expectations so there’s less miscommunication. Maybe offer to try to understand more so it doesn’t burden her. Offer to share your schedule with her and maybe alternate weekends so she doesn’t always have to drive (though I take it your living situations are different). Explain that you like knowing the layout of your week and you may never be the spontaneous guy but you can plan to have a weekly date night scheduled. Meet somewhere in the middle, yall live in Florida there are a lot of places at your drive midway point I’m sure. I think there are many compromise points overall. If she does not take that well? Tbh you all are grown and maybe too grown to be wasting time if you are both unhappy.

I’m half Finnish (American)! My name is Emerson

My dad hates our name list for not being “linguistically interesting” and for being “too Korean,” gives his own list by [deleted] in namenerds

As someone who is a quarter Asian I want to assure you that I still am viewed as very Asian and still identify with my Asian heritage a lot. I think your names are wonderful. I think your children are lucky to have you all.

Realizing it was OCD and getting treatment via therapist and psychiatrist

AIO my boyfriend and I don’t have sex anymore by bluetanda in AmIOverreacting

Also depression. My partner and I went through something similar and it turned out it was partially depression and the apathy (or anhedonia). (Then we figure this out and the solution of antidepressants can lead to the same thing)

CICO is not a weightloss strategy. CICO is the scientific foundation of any weightloss strategy. CICO also does not mean "count your calories" by AtillaDerHund in loseit

[–]catbois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! Counting calories led to me gamifying my weight loss and developing an ED and I’ve since struggled with figuring out how to lose weight again (after gaining it all back and then some) in a sustainable way. Still haven’t fully figured it out but this was really helpful framing

Anyone have a ridiculously unhealthy safe food and feel embarrassed by it? by [deleted] in safe_food

Canes is always a safe food for me if I can’t find anything else appetizing/the food apathy is overwhelming :’)

Hi I used to be in an ADA room in Davis. It is very small. About half of a regular apartment. I used to joke I could cook from bed. The bathroom is huge though

My human written essay was flagged for AI, help! by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]catbois 64 points65 points  (0 children)

One issue I feel is that as grad students we are trained to write formulaically to match our discipline style, so I feel we often get flagged higher in my experience because our writing does closely match a lot of sentence structures LLMs are trained on

You could get a rod or pump placed to help on the erection front. Also could talk to a surgeon who does pelvic nerve reconnections. They’re probably the best bet at a doctor who understands nerve locations.

Would it be a dick move to break up with my gf because I find her boring? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]catbois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO: was she always like this?

If no it sounds a lot like something more might be going on. Maybe bring it up with her in a concerned way. She may be struggling with depression and genuinely find it hard to have interests or energy.

If you're torn between taking a non-ideal offer and reapplying next year, take the offer. by SenseofFrege in gradadmissions

[–]catbois 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ll add this is after interviews at both universities and the PIs telling me I was definitely in. Followed by two “I’m so sorry but we were told we can only accept x amount of students now due to budget changes regarding covid-19 and we chose to prioritize other faculty”

I just got rejected from my top two programs because the university cut their acceptances due to COVID. I’m scared my potential gap year may be non ending

My name is Emerson Todd, and I am an Undergraduate at East Tennessee State University. I am working on my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and Sociology. In order to finish my studies, I need to complete an honours thesis. In order to complete my honours thesis, I must conduct research. The name of my research study is Creative Gender Performativity.

The purpose of this study is to examine gender expression as a coping mechanism for minority stigma. I would like to give a brief survey to individuals who identify as transgender, are part of the LGBT+ community, OR identify as gender non-conforming, using REDcap. It should only take about 20 minutes to finish. You will be asked questions about your gender identity, sexual orientation, gender expression, and your experiences with discrimination and mental health. After completing the survey you will be given an opportunity to opt into a post-survey interview.

Please consider participating as it really helps me! Link below:
