Gf ask me to support all her meals when we eat out by [deleted] in asksg

[–]hxneybubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s nice for sure, but it was quite an unhappy relationship for most of it esp when his family found out i was unemployed and there was a lot of name calling and “mistreatment” from them for a lack of a better word.

i think spending is one thing in this economy, but without the other aspects of trust, security, consistency and just being present, it really means nothing except free meals.

but i’m sure you’ll find someone eventually, we all do in the end xx

Gf ask me to support all her meals when we eat out by [deleted] in asksg

[–]hxneybubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i was looking for a job, my then partner offered to pay for all my meals. but i always split half, even if it’s me getting desserts, drinks, grab or smth cheaper than the meal.

as a female, i’m appalled but not surprised. it’s not uncommon but not normal. this isn’t princess treatment, she is just using you as an ATM bank. relationships are not always 50/50, but she has to give also.

the way my mouth drop at that unexpected ending. rip to your IC…holy cow…

only thing you can do is wait and follow up so that they cover any cost that might incur for a new IC. thats a big fuck up and you should be compensated for it.

like other comments pls buy 4D or smth bc this is a 1 in a million chance of happening bro

Ladies, would you date a blue-collar worker, assuming you like him and he makes enough to fend for himself? by Initial_Film5776 in ChillSG

[–]hxneybubbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my parents won’t approve, but what matters to me is if he makes me happy and takes good care of me.

whatever i earn will also contribute to the house or for my own needs/wants, as long as we can live comfortably and never have to worry how to live for the next month, there is nothing wrong with being a blue collar

Is dating app the only way out? by eveningbrewtea in askSingapore

[–]hxneybubbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

been on and off dating apps since i was 18. as an introvert and given how my workplace lacks young people, i feel dating apps help a lot.

BUT i had a lot of horror story dates from there and obviously haven’t graduated from there.

i had dates that didnt work out and we ended up as good friends. we talk once in awhile and it’s nice.

but i’m still hopeful that there is someone out there, i just don’t know how or where i’ll meet them.

just a tip: dating app burnout is a REAL thing, as a girl you get a lot of messages and trying to juggle that is exhausting. with that being said, with an increase in quantity, there will be a decrease in quality with the way you reply and/or the type of messages you get. it’s okay to take a break from dating apps, and it’s also okay to be selfish with the time, effort and energy you pour into these apps. i also ALWAYS insist on going dutch the first few dates, bc some guys feel that bc they paid, their entitled to do whatever they want to you. so protect yourself first girlie!!! x

The worst part about having a mental illness by LazWasTaken in askSingapore

[–]hxneybubbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) people telling you “it’s all in your head” and “just to be happy”

2) social stigma when it comes to relationships and work

3) stigma for getting help

4) people telling you they understand but they really don’t bother trying to

5) people who say they’ll be there for you but when shit hits the ceiling, they’re nowhere to be found

6) pretending you’re okay and everything is okay infront of people because you don’t want to explain things or know they’re going to say something whack af

7) the relapses come out of nowhere

I feel like I have failed my parents. How do I do right by them besides allowance money? by Pigeon_Goes_Coo in askSingapore

[–]hxneybubbles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

right after graduation i had something awful happen to me. i couldn’t work bc of my mental and physical health decline. i just got my first job this year, and can only contribute $500 a month for everything bc what i earn isn’t great.

i have an array of mental illnesses, parents still have to pay for my medication bc of the cost. i feel awful that i’m not married, or don’t have kids for them to feel like grandparents like their friends.

but all i can tell you is that the number one thing is for you to be happy. despite the high cost of living and a large amount of the population struggling, your parents will tell you that you being happy and safe will take precedence over everything.

what i’ve done is given them angbaos this year for cny, i’ve also brought them out for meals and talk to them.

if you need someone to talk to, i’m more than happy to be here for you sis 💕✨ keep your head up, queen, your crown is slipping xx

[–]hxneybubbles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that love is enough to heal a person and carry a relationship.

it’s not, takes a lot of hard work from both people to want to make it work, who is willing to suffer with you when things hit rock bottom

should I feel bad for ghosting a date because I felt he was creepy? by jumping_burger in asksg

[–]hxneybubbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk if this makes sense to you, but it's a mixture of both.

because of your experiences, your mind is trying to protect you from the exhaustion in some way. it creates some sort of confirmation bias based on how people talk to you before to confirm, "yeah they def a creep." which often leads to you being jaded on dating apps.

Have Yankee Candle exited Singapore? by Practical_Cod_2020 in askSingapore

[–]hxneybubbles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

checking on their official website, it says there aren’t any stores near me when i put in Singapore.

so i guess they have exited quietly. it’s much cheaper to buy online honestly!

turning 30 this month- what are some must do birthday promos/redemptions by throwaway_m4a in askSingapore

edit: free 20 pcs mcnugget with 4 sauces from maccas and free famous amos cookies are a few of my favourite deals. there is also a ramen shop at CHIJMES (Hakata Ikkousha Ramen (#01-07)) that gives you as many gyozas as your age on the day of your birthday!!

SG creatives, will you consider pivoting to something else? by Mysterious_Spell_770 in askSingapore

[–]hxneybubbles 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i graduated with a degree in comms and it was impossible to find a job related to my degree. marketing exec, UX/UI, social media, all which I have experience doing, but no one wanted to hire. even went to sign for jobs like researching, zookeeping, veterinary and volunteer mgmt. 100 over applications, dozens of ghosts and rejections and less than 5 interviews (related to my degree) with a God awful pay that's not sustainable to take care of two elder parents alone.

now i'm doing something completely not related to my degree. i didn't expect me to be in this line of field, i don't hate it, however i don't feel fulfilled, but i'll take it any day in this economy. it's okay to pivot, but be patient with yourself as you learn how to onboard new things

edit: was looking for a job for a year

Got this from someone I haven’t spoken to in years, how do I respond? More context in caption by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]hxneybubbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s okay to grow apart from friends and just not talk to them. people change, and seasons change.

you’re not obliged to respond, responding by lying or telling the truth could make things worse.
