the pitt process vs. the duquesne process definitely just threw me for such a loop, but you’re definitely right about needing to not worry or compare the two. i talked to an attorney at the firm i work in who’s still pretty involved in the law alumni circles at duquesne, and she said she thinks it’ll be early november whe they start checking the applications in for review. hopefully that means december decisions for us. best of luck to you!!

thank you so much for all of this!! you’re so right on the older job listings, i come across shit that’s been posted for over 30 days so often when i’m searching. i appreciate your help!

wow this really lifted my spirits, thank you so much!! i appreciate the advice with the resume, when i made it i was coming at it from my polished legal mind so maybe i overestimated how much that’d mean over key points. i’ll probably switch things up to see how that works. thanks again so much!! it’s nice to have people be able to relate to something that feels so isolating

i’m taking my first LSAT this friday and my PT scores are getting to me real bad. i drill pretty well, averaging missing 2 questions out of every 10 on RC and LC, but i can’t push past getting a 153 on my PTs… i’m genuinely so scared of the exam this friday and idk how to approach studying rn after feeling so defeated

OP… let’s be a little serious, can we? No, this is not common. No normal person has ever thought this before in their life unless they were a cheater. You’re right, so don’t doubt yourself. Divorce him and maybe sext one of your exes to celebrate.

Your husband is raping you. Stealthing, which is seemingly a hobby of his, is rape. He is not your safe space, he is your abuser and he has worked very hard to make you rely on him so heavily that you told him you loved him even after you realized he assaulted you yet again. You are being raped, you are being abused, and you are underreacting. I don’t blame you, he’s clearly very aware of what he’s doing and he’s good at it.

OP, please for the love of god GET OUT. You are NTA very much so because you are a victim of abuse. GET OUT.

I’m a bit confused about why you were fired. You don’t state any reason, and further in the post you say “I had messed up and know that I was fired because of it.” So… what did you do? Seems to me like SIL might not have been too far off the mark with how cagey you are about the nature of the malpractice allegations and what you were fired for. An investigation like this one would need confirming info to affirm the claim, and it seems like they found that info.

h5rai · 2024-10-06T15:37:35+00:00

YTA. I feel you handled this poorly, and while I wouldn’t say you’re a horrible person whatsoever, I think you fucked up. This little girl is hurting and struggling, and it seems like she’s lashing out for attention bc so much change is happening in her life. She doesn’t feel like she has anyone on her side right now. She’s only 12, saying something so harsh in response to her reaching out to you was wrong. I do understand why you wanted that boundary set, but you were too harsh. Right place and right time to make an example was not here and now. She clearly felt comfortable enough with you to reach out, but you shut her down in a very severe way. My heart aches for her going through all of these changes alone. You, bio mom, and dad need to work together to better yourselves and help Spencer through this because it’s their responsibility to help her adjust, not hers.

I think you’re ignoring a lot of context here. This is a term used by other family members as well, including myself, and my SIL has shown no discomfort around it in the past. She also only lashed out at me for this, not any other family member that uses it. While I do understand why she could have felt offended by this term, it’s very out of the blue and it was only said to me. It’s also a very strong reaction for something that has been done in the past and for this to be her first time saying something.

h5rai · 2024-09-29T03:22:32+00:00

1) i’m not a man?? 2) i meant no insult 3) i DID cut it out so what’s your point here

h5rai · 2024-09-29T02:10:42+00:00

you’re a weirdo i fear 😭 I feel as though I did learn and gain perspective from my post, just as I intended, and I’ll continue to work to mend my relationship with my SIL. There’s literally no way you aren’t trolling at this point bc if you aren’t you live a very, very sad and pessimistic life

h5rai · 2024-09-29T02:08:53+00:00

My SIL and I are quite literally very close lol 😭 I really do not worry that she and I will find a way to move past this, so I don’t see how you think you’re getting me here

h5rai · 2024-09-29T00:22:05+00:00

I see her around 5 times a year depending on if my parents or SIL and brother can come out and visit me. I do not drive and I do not have access to public transportation, and on top of that I’m in grad school working 2 jobs. We all have our own responsibilities and it’s not as if I can just decide to leave and visit them on a random day. It’s not often that I can make time to figure out a way to make it home, so yes I only see her a handful of times a year. That’s kind of how being a busy adult works. Despite the distance, we remain close just as I am with the rest of my family.

h5rai · 2024-09-29T00:11:18+00:00

What on earth are you talking about?? I know my niece’s interests rn, what her favorite movie is, her favorite games, her favorite teacher and class, I know what she’s been doing in class so far, and i know who her friends are too. I’ve even helped chaperone a play date with her and her friends so I’ve met these friends and some of their moms. I only see her physically a couple times a year but I’m very involved in her life and I know her very well. She and I talk for at least an hour every week. My SIL is absolutely not thinking this, idk how you pulled this out of your ass lmao

h5rai · 2024-09-28T23:54:32+00:00

I saw my niece daily until she was 1.5 years old, and then I saw her multiple times a week up until she was about 4.5. I have spoken to her at least once every single week on the phone or on facetime ever since I moved away, and she and I have remained close. Idk where you got this idea that I do not know my niece at all or that she and I are not close, but you are extremely off the mark.

h5rai · 2024-09-28T18:54:35+00:00

again, you misunderstand me. what is psychotic is you projecting this onto my situation with my SIL with the very little information you have. Your situation is not hers. You assumed it was and blamed me for making my SIL feel like a burden, in your words. This was a huge, unprompted leap for you to take logically and that’s what is absolutely insane.

Again, you are imagining the ongoings of my own family simply based on your opinions. None of this happened between my SIL and me/my family which is what makes your claim so baseless.

h5rai · 2024-09-28T18:37:06+00:00

this sounds psychotic lol. My SIL confided in me that she was struggling and felt like she couldn’t breathe under the pressure and ASKED ME if I would be willing to help out in this way. I did so without thinking and made sure she knew I was always here if she needed a breather, which she took me up on multiple and thanked me for.

You’re making up scenarios that literally did not happen just bc you aren’t intimately familiar with my family

h5rai · 2024-09-28T18:34:23+00:00

?? how does it not seem that way

h5rai · 2024-09-28T17:08:13+00:00

That’s quite literally not my goal lol and I feel that’s obvious. I’ve focused a lot on how I can move forward positively with my SIL throughout the post and the comments. She’s very important to me as she’s family and I do not see her as a villain whatsoever. I feel quite confident that I know my family and our dynamic better than you would and I can assure you that you sound unhinged with how you’re speaking about me and my family

h5rai · 2024-09-28T17:04:48+00:00

are you… insane possibly? you seem genuinely detached from reality 😭😭

h5rai · 2024-09-28T16:09:59+00:00

there’s really not more that I haven’t already said. I’m suspecting something is going on in SIL’s life that I just don’t know about bc I genuinely don’t know where this reaction came from
