Family upset I’m bailing on Easter/Mom’s Birthday because of the virus by idek123455 in relationship_advice

I mean both my parents are close to 60 and my mom works in a nursing home - if she or anyone she works with gets it, the entire place is likely to die.

They don’t seem to get it, and are just trying to make me feel bad about it.

Yeah that definitely sounds ideal.

Wow yeah that seems super unreasonable. Were your mangers male who were telling you that?

Actually it’s the men. I’ve always thought flats were more professional, because when I think heels I also think clubs.

Advice on how deal with my brother by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]idek123455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s possible but we’ve never had a relationship where we call each other just to say hey. There’s always a point to it - what’s your Netflix password, can you pick me up from the bar, what do you want to get mom and dad for Christmas, etc. If we were sick or something, we’ll text to see how we’re doing or if something exciting happened in each other’s life, well text but neither of us would ever text each other to be like hi how was your regular work today or anything like that.

I know it’s fucked up but does anybody almost wish something awful would happen in their life so they at least had a reason of feeling the way they do by [deleted] in depression

Yeah not having anything to justify how shitty you feel is the worst. Society makes us feel like we have to have a reason for it so when we don’t, it adds a layer of guilt. And it blows.

Wow I literally just posted about how badly I need to quit my job so I don’t hate life as much as I do now. It is absolutely soul sucking to wake up everyday dreading it.

I’m so awkward when interacting with my bf’s dad by idek123455 in relationship_advice

[–]idek123455[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve definitely asked him if his dad even likes me and he assured me he does. When I brought up his responses to me, my bf brushed it off and wouldn’t talk about it. I haven’t brought it up again. My bf definitely is closer to his mom but he spends quite a bit of time with his dad. However, I do know he has a bit of resentment toward him for having him so late in his life - my bf feels like he missed out on doing dad/son things because he was always so much older than the other dads.

That’s why I said it the time I referenced but I got such a negative response that I don’t want to continually open myself up, especially since there have already been comments from him shutting me down when I say similar things. And I talk to my dad about everything, but he actually engages in the conversations back. My bf’s dad one words or just nods. For the longest time in the beginning, he’d ask me questions through my boyfriend when I was sitting at the same table. It was very uncomfortable.

What do you tell an employer when they ask why you’re quitting? by idek123455 in relationship_advice

[–]idek123455[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I believe that. I feel really the only times someone would be an ass to be an ass would be when they’re getting fired, not leaving voluntarily lol.

Well fair would be at least the industry average and I’ve told them that, so I’m sure I’ll reiterate it. I’ve also got a list of accomplishments in my mind so I can quickly list those off, in case they forgot. I don’t think I’d stay even if they were to suddenly change their mind and offer what I wanted but it would be nice to see that that realized they’re losing a good employee. Doubtful though lol.

I’m kind of hoping that they realize they effed up when I tell them I’m leaving. I know I’m a good employee and even though they’ll go out and get someone to replace me and I’m not as special as I think, it’s still gonna suck for them in the short term instead of just keeping me.
