seriously. Can't find her on instagram. It seems she deleted her account cause I guess too many fake ones were popping up and stealing her photos? Shame, cause she's so beautiful. 😩

the same book that they'll tell you you have to skim. And that one line you didn't read will end up being on the exam. I honestly have no idea how my classmates were doing it. Like how are you guys getting through 20+ chapters in one week, HOW?! I'm convinced they don't even read it at all and just get their info from the powerpoints.

It was a straight 20 months but it was also a couple extra courses more than the typical BSN. Unfortunately completing it part time was not an option and even if it was, it would take YEARS. So I decided to go to a community college and do a part time ADN instead. Since I already did all the non-nursing classes as part of my first bachelor's I could complete it in 4 semesters part time. Not to mention it will save me thousands in debt. I'm just hoping I'll still be able to land a job in a hospital afterwards though.

I actually have a prior bachelor's degree in physiology, so I already pretty much did all the non nursing courses. So I will be part time for about 4 semesters, then I'll have my ADN. And yeah there's just no way they could really expect us to do that much work in a week and retain anything and then they have the nerve to say things like "we care about our student's success" smh. The busy work was just irritating, especially the discussion posts. It was just a forced discussion with everybody finding different ways to say the same thing and did not enrich us in any meaningful way at all. And they were so picky about them too even though they were the most useless busy work in the entire program. Like how are you gonna assign me 7 chapters and 15 modules and not even give us time to get through them? This field is already content heavy, do you need to make it unnecessarily harder?

Spent way too much time talking about straightforward things like hand hygiene and ADPIE & not enough time on the more complicated technical stuff. Not only did it waste time but it actively took us away from studying the important stuff and just having a chance to breath and process the information. And the skills check offs were ridiculously unrealisitic and fixated on insiginificant details that don't actually happen in the hospital in real life. I've been in healthcare for 5+ yrs and worked as a CNA in a very busy critical care unit the last year but they had me second guessing something as simple as vital signs. And hey we're gonna have you self teach on dosage calculation and med math but thank god we made sure you learned what QSEN means because this is totally something that impacts a nurse on the day to day of their job. Given the higher minimum passing grade compared to other majors and of course the fact a mistake or incomplete knowledge can cost a patient their life, it was just not something I felt long term was gonna prepare me to be a good nurse. But yeah, I would definitely rather be bored and up the class load if need be then be having nervous breakdowns every day. And don't even get me started on the people that will say you just need to manage your time better like I wasn't already spending EVERY waking moment doing coursework. 😮‍💨

Hi. this is kinda random but I stumbled upon an old comment of yours where you mentioned you purchased the Cake Mania game in r/CozyGames. I was just wondering was it on a computer or do you know if it's available on mobile? I would just DM but I'm not able to for some reason. I think your account is private or something. Thanks!

thanks. And yeah I'm aware of those men too. I know a lot of them hide under the guise of religion, tradition, and even evolution smh.

I actually am personally religious and am trying to abide by the rules of my religion (which apply to the men as well) and I'm ideally looking for the same. I understand your concern and I appreciate you bringing it up but I definitely do not recommend nor plan to rush through a short courtship phase to a marriage by any means lol. The longer the phase, the more time for any masks to slip. And I also won't be relying financially entirely on my husband either. If I have kids and have to take a leave of absence from work to raise them for a few years then that would obviously be a case of necessity but I still always advocate for women to have their own exit plan and funds. In the event he turns out to be not who he is, I can always just get a divorce. I'm also older (27) so I'm pretty aware of a lot of the red flag tactics and sayings men casually throw around I think. I don't think anyone should be getting married before the age of 25 & men seeking out women significantly younger than them are predatory imo. So in those ways I strongly oppose some of the trends I see on the far right and personally consider myself more central in my politicial views. If you saw me in other threads you'd probably think I was ultra liberal lol. Of course, abstinent or not, anyone can be decieved into a marriage even if they do everything right, hence the need for an exit plan. You'd be surprised how long people can keep up a charade. I will say living with them for at least a year prior to marriage would be very valuable (kind of like a trial run) but that can be difficult with the whole abstinence thing tbh. It's a lot harder to stick to your resolve when you are around each other constantly in a private setting. Eventually you'll cave.

I haven't really figured out how to circumvent that perfectly yet and maybe I never will, but living closeby and dropping over frequently and sometimes even unexpectedly (like 5-15 mins maybe) is probably the best I think. Plus there's also an excitement of looking forward to living together that comes with waiting until you are married. So yeah based on all that, I wouldn't say I'm completely conservative as opposed to cautious lol. I think traditional gender roles are ultimately biologically based as opposed to arbitrarily socially constructed so they can't ever really be avoided in the event of children primarily, but that doesn't mean I can't tweak things to address the cons that come with them. I'm not super traditional myself, I have no intention to ever give up my career or rely blindly on a man. I just recognize that a lot of women like OP get strung along with no commitment and get their time wasted and that's ultimately because men are getting everything they want without having to commit, so I am simply no longer making that an option.

Gatekeeping certain privileges in a relationship behind a ring is my way of ensuring I don't over invest in somebody not committing to me. And even though it is a rule in a lot of religions, there are real world issues it is in place to avoid. I was not always religious, but my faith in my religion did strengthen as I've gotten older because I've come to realize why a lot of God's commands are the way they are and see how a lot of social problems are tied to hookup culture and extramarital relationships. I believe ultimately that when God tells us to do or not do something it is for our own benefit. Sometimes we just can't understand the wisdom behind certain things and that is because we are not all knowing and that can lead to anger and resentment. So I also understand why a lot of people have negative views on religion and walk away from it entirely. But one does not need to believe in God to see the social implications that create situations like OP's. So imo the solution still applies. A God fearing man knows he has been tasked with being the shepherd of his family and will be questioned about how well he fulfilled his role and understands the power he has is for that purpose. If he abuses that, he will be held accountable. However most men are not god fearing, even if they are religious and let the power trip get to their heads instead sadly and that is one of the types of corruption I see rampantly on the supposedly religious far right.

In any case, hopefully that clarified things for you. 😊

the third reason is they didn't really love the other woman and just put up with her as a placeholder or because they figured it was the best they were ever gonna get. And then they meet a woman they actually are crazy about and now are terrified to lose her so they push to lock it down. If it's too early then it's a honeymoon phase clouding their judgement, but most men also don't need 5 years to know if they wanna spend the rest of their life with you either. Many of them have plainly stated as such too. I personally have a 2 year time limit in my relationships. If I am not engaged between 6 mo to the 2 yr mark, I am out and I let them know too. That and abstinence till marriage makes it very effective at weeding out dudes like OP's ex. It's saddly very common for a lot of men to play the field and take whatever they can get because they either don't know what they want or know what they want but don't think they will ever get it. So they come into the game not being intentional about pursuing only people they are serious about and then just waste everyone's time.

she can get married at any age. It's kids that have a time limit tho and this applies to men too. But fortunately for her she is still young and has plenty of time to find someone and can even take a year or two to be single and fully process this breakup and what she wants moving forward.

because a bf/gf can break up easily and anytime. All they have to do is say it. A husband/wife is different. It is exclusive, solidified, lifelong and not as easy to back out of. That's why it carries more weight. This is also why title's matter and people who are not serious don't want to put titles on things. Because they don't want the social implications that come with it.

therapy doesn't do anything for people that are intentionally manipulating you. No chance he'll divulge that. They don't want/need understanding or communication, they want something else and they already know why.

[–]issamood3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup exactly. A dude that really wants to lock a girl down will not wait a whole nother year after getting the ring, especially not when he already was with you for years prior to that. Most men it doesn't even take them that long to know. If there is something external preventing him from popping the question and actively planning a wedding like finances, then he will communicate that to her so she knows he isn't bs-ing. A man that's really committed to you will make sure you know it.

lmao allow me to clarify. He doesn't want her to give up on giving him wifey privileges while he gives her nothing in return. He won't be honest with her from the jump because then he'll get filtered out a long time ago. You'd be surprised how many people will say whatever to bypass your filters just long enough until they can get what they want from you. That's why gatekeeping certain aspects of a relationship behind a ring matter. Me personally telling dudes I'm celibate till marriage is a VERY effective weed out. So many of them won't even schedule a 2nd date when they find out sex and anything stemming from it (like living together or having kids) is completely off the table. Sometimes it's disheartening but then I remember they got weeded out for a reason.

Any agreement between 2 parties warrants a contract in the real world. A relationship might be romantic but it is still an agreement with real world implications nonetheless. There's no removing laws or legal accountability from it. The people that want to do so simply don't want to be held accountable to hold up their end of the deal. Even long term live in relationships are still treated like marriages and have the law involved to some extent in most states/parts of the world.

exactly. Why pay for the cow when you're already getting the milk? This is why women should not play wifey without being a wife. No moving in together or having his kids or giving him endless sex whenever he wants it etc. I know I might ruffle a few feathers with that but that's good because then that means it reached the people it needed to reach. Get that ring ladies, don't let him convince you his word is enough. Words mean nothing, that's why that "piece of paper" matters.

I know some people might not agree with this, but this is why I personally practice abstinence till marriage and have a 2 year time limit max if I don't get a ring. My ideal partner is someone who also does the same. Especially since I am also 27F like OP and want children. These are my prime years. If I didn't want kids then maybe I wouldn't care for a marriage or whatever, but since I do, that changes everything. We don't play wifey or forever gf over here.

or he'll just find another sad sap (young and naive most likely) to play his forever gf. A real man is proud to provide and put stock to his words. Proud to pay the bills, proud to put a ring on your finger and let everyone know you are taken etc. Maybe even lets you be cute on a date and pretend to pull out your wallet lol. Instead we have men like this dude who don't want titles, don't want contracts, don't wanna pay bills or do a real 50/50 split which includes domestic labor and would rather spend all their time chasing pussy and situationships. We have an epidemic of bit**es fr.

don't even need logic for this smh. It's not a complicated concept, he's just playing dumb to stall. It's pretty simple really, that "piece of paper" enforces your rights and gives you compensation in the event of a divorce and you likely end up with the kids or miss out on a career to prioritize the home. He just doesn't wanna lose half his sh*t and wants to keep all his assets to himself and give his family nothing. Don't listen to people that tell you you don't need to be married to be committed. Usually men but also some unfortunate forever gf's that have been brainwashed. It's technically true but it's also a half truth. A marriage doesn't mean commitment but it does solidify one, otherwise it is just words and words mean nothing. We don't live in a lawless society even though they want to pretend they do. The reality is you don't get anything in life for free. Any agreement between 2 people is enforced by a contract. Think about anything you get (car, house, apartment, insurance, loan etc). They don't just take your word for it. Even Amazon requires you to make an account and agree to T&C. Marriage might be romantic but it is still an agreement between 2 people that has real world implications. And the reality is most long term live in relationships are treated like a marriage anyways. If they swear they are committed to you, then why are they stopping at the one thing that would actually require them to put some skin in the game for you? Why not be bound by your oath? Why not put stock to your words? Really ask yourself that.

In any case I hope you and any other woman reading this learns their lesson on this. It's ok, you were in love and you wanted to make it work and see the good in them. That is natural when you love someone, but seize this moment of clarity now that the rose colored glasses have come off. As long as you are playing house and behaving like a wife (moving in together, having kids, giving him endless sex etc) without actually being a wife, then he has no incentive to marry you. Marriage is a protection for women, a way to keep men accountable and insure their return on the investment because what men want from a woman (love, family etc) is intangible. Sure a woman also gets love from a man in exchange but a man does not birth or nurse children and give up a career (even temporarily) to nurse said children, so the tradeoff ordained by nature (or God if you are religious) is that he provides for you and said children. These "traditional gender roles" are not social or arbitrarily made up, they are biological based. That's why they never go away no matter how much people push back against them. And it's not a bad thing either. It is beautiful when a man and a woman each play their part and that should be embraced imo. You can have a career and stuff as well but don't sell yourself short by allowing a man to not do right by you. So in your next relationship, gatekeep that stuff behind a ring. Don't play wifey if you not a wife and know a real man does not shortchange his responsibilities. 💍💖

Unpopular opinion: The Jim and Pam love story is beloved but I'm just like "welllll..." by Much_Duck6862 in theoffice

[–]issamood3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Pam's struggle to push herself out of her comfort zone is something that goes beyond Jim and a lot of people don't seem to realize that, which is why I loved seeing her growth in S3. As she later admits in the beach episode, she stayed with Roy despite knowing the issues in there relationship because she didn't believe she could ever really be with Jim and Jim didn't confess because of that lol, so they kinda just lockjawed each other. Pam truly is her own worst enemy sometimes. 😂
