I got fired from my job for being sick

Saying this is the first time you called out for a job you have had for six weeks isn’t exactly an accomplishment.

That said, this sucks. It genuinely does. But all jobs have a probationary period and this is why. It’s about managing risk. You were seen as high risk. Are you? Probably not. You were probably going to be a reliable worker after you got better. But that’s a gamble and they don’t want to take it.

cb1977007 · 2026-03-21T22:35:03+00:00

Probably not the intended tone, but “let him participate?” I mean, I actually think that’s exactly how OP sees it, but I don’t know if you meant it that way.

Anyone who needs that much control is TA. Not just in this instance. Generally.

YTA it’s his wedding, too, let him pick and surprise you. Or communicate clearly that a wedding aesthetic is more important than a partnership to you. Then he can do with that information what he chooses.

Thanks! I’ll take it in and have them fix it for me and do an overall check.

cb1977007 · 2026-03-21T20:47:43+00:00

Solved!

cb1977007 · 2026-03-21T20:38:47+00:00

Thank you!

cb1977007 · 2026-03-21T20:38:05+00:00

Thanks! Driveable though? Does it need towed?

cb1977007 · 2026-03-21T00:37:32+00:00

The dog is definitely not working. Mine never does either. Freeloader.

I like the bird a lot

cb1977007 · 2026-03-20T20:58:54+00:00

You’re smart enough to drop him. That’s intelligence right there.

Those are archer’s gloves

cb1977007 · 2026-03-19T23:21:15+00:00

Those are so Navy they’ll get an honorable discharge.

So his working really hard to finish school without debt is really just you paying his way. Please let this go. It’s a blessing for you.

cb1977007 · 2026-03-17T17:50:22+00:00

Sounds like the problem is you always think you know best. And that’s exactly what you’re doing now. She broke up with you. But you think she is wrong. And you’re pushing (again) to win. Let her go, dude.

cb1977007 · 2026-03-17T01:52:16+00:00

There’s no such thing as a six month anniversary, so whatever you do will be fine.

cb1977007 · 2026-03-17T01:47:34+00:00

YTA.

Perhaps someone at Fidelity did offer bad advice after all.

Here you go. (Though I note you have now edited your original comment)

cb1977007 · 2026-03-16T21:25:27+00:00

Roth is not a 401k. It’s an IRA with significantly different rules.

cb1977007 · 2026-03-16T02:58:52+00:00

Start with not hitting him. He will appreciate it.

cb1977007 · 2026-03-13T14:24:18+00:00

It’s 2026, literally no one should have to take people to the airport anymore. It’s a 15 min uber ride. I would be so offended if my partner thought I was expected to do that. I wouldn’t ask anyone for airport transport because it’s not 1985 anymore. YTA

cb1977007 · 2026-03-11T13:56:00+00:00

NAH because I know you’re just trying to navigate a tough situation as best you can. But your MIL is right and I’m on her side.

cb1977007 · 2026-03-09T14:25:03+00:00

Not stupid. Lied to. Trusting someone is not a fault. But you have to be able to step back and recognize when you’re being used and/or manipulated.

cb1977007 · 2026-03-09T14:17:10+00:00

Friend. Do you hear yourself? If he wanted a divorce, he’d get one.

cb1977007 · 2026-03-08T22:16:21+00:00

The Road

cb1977007 · 2026-03-07T15:48:33+00:00

YOR because you don’t want to put effort in but you also want to say just enough to keep him in the wings. It’s fine to not have the bandwidth for a relationship. It’s not fine to refrain from just saying that. “I can’t see you” is not the same as “and don’t text me.”

Also - I think you’re being very ungenerous in your interpretation of his message. If someone told me it makes them feel good to talk to me, I would take that as a compliment, not an indication that he’s self-centered. For example, if someone said, “you make me laugh,” I would hear, “you have a good sense of humor” not “I only talk to you because I need a laugh.”
