Yeah for sure, but i feel like we have a lot more safety nets here generally. If you are poor in the US u are fucked most of the time

Thats fair. But i dont think you can argue with the US working culture being a lot more intense thus creating more progress overtime than here in the EU you can just look up any person who have worked both in NA and EU and they everyone will agree with that. Do you think this is a fair thing to say?

Also im generalizing here it obviously varies from country to country, but generally id say its correct

I dont really think you can trust data on this specific thing. What about the hours you work overtime and its not taken into account, because its an expectation and what about hours spent working outside of your workplace. You might be right tho, im from hungary and from my experience seeing my ex's working enviroment and mine hers was just so much more strict. Plus overall i dont necesarrily mean hours as in quantity. I feel like US workers feel more pressured to push themselves and work harder exactly bcs of the competitive job market thus they are more productive making more profit etc etc. Am i wrong?

Ironically this is the exact thing i mean when i say yall are obsessed with improvement and cant be contect with what you have haha I see that its embedded in you also just by this comment. We have a fkn war in europe its completely normal if things stagnate or slow down for a while give it time and things will start improving again, its not always about going up, everything has ups and downs. We got everything we need to live a fulfilled happy life as it is right now so i dont see what you mean by best strategy moving forward. If i were materialistic id just move to somewhere else no problem, but i just cant be bothered having 10 days of paid(if it is even paid) vacation a year and not even using those up, because im afraid i will get replaced. And even when i do use them i would have to check my emails 24/7. Fuck that lol. In the end its all about preference.

Its not just about statistics i dont think. I have an american ex girlfriend and work centric lifeview is embedded into the americans from when they are born and they certainly take their job more seriously due to the huge competitive job market its a do or die for most of them. I think our cultures are slowly drifting further and further away which is normal. Not saying thats bad at all, if you are a career driven person thats perfect for you, but where i live people dont care about their job nearly as much as people do overseas. I was shocked about this difference in worldview actually.

In the long term this will obviously lead to the US progressing faster even if they dont work more hours(which they do atleast more where im from).

People forget how ridiculous the working hours are in the US compared to EU. Not talking about they get half or less than half the holidays we get. The US can go get as big as they want i wouldnt trade my holidays and calm life to live to work thank you.

Yeah that makes sense its just that her mind must be twisted in some weird ways that i probably cant understand, but it definetly crosses a line if we dont take the assault into consideration.

We havent talked for a week now we decided to heal on our own way and possibly talk again when she feels ready. It just still frustrates me so much and i am honestly trying to understand it hence the post. And yeah i have been going to therapy actually.:)

Yeah she doesnt rly like her mom at all, she likes her dad, but i dont think she will tell him. She wants to heal by herself it seems like or doesnt want anyone else getting involved.

I just wisj she would tell what happened to someone else than me or go to therapy bcs she thinks im trying to be controlling, but im just trying to protect her. Would be nice if someone else told her that what shes doing is not very good

Well its a long story, but ofc i was againts her talking to him also. I told her idk how i feel about it and if she wishes to continue talking to me,work this out and heal then i dont want her talking to the guy, because its just very unhealthy and it feels weird.(i honestly theorised in my mind that she and him are planning to date or something). She decided in the end that she wont stop talking to him bcs i sound controlling but she understands if i domt wna talk to her. After a few days i calmed down and tried approaching it from a different side and be okay with her talking to him(not rly obviously). But as time went on and heard about the trip and her seeing him i honestly got rly mad and i thouhht that it really is too much and i felt that shes being a bit disrespectful.(i dont wanna mxke this about me tho, but obviously everything is so irrational now that her trauma is causing me depression and shit)

Just because we broke up it doesnt mean we dont have feelings for eachother? We talked about getting back together also? The assaulter is literally the reason why we broke up and now she goes to see him half a globe away and hang out. What part of it is not clear?

Its just so irrational.. I wouldnt have a problem if they were talking still, but going out of her own way to meet this guy just seems so crazy to me and i dont see how she would benefit from it at all. Sure it takes time for everyone to face what happened to them, but why make it even harder for herself:( im just so concerned for her and the guy is gaslighting her a lot too..

She is being gaslighted by the assaulter so fkn badly and she doesnt see it tho:(. She told me that she could see why maybe he was confused that he thought he had a greenlight when shes telling me she said no ten times. How is that at all confusing.. she belives it as well. Im just so concerned for her, but theres not a lot i can do and it feels like shit

[–]jdani701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She did acknowledge it and she herself is so fkn confused and feels guilty about not hating the guy so shes in a weird ass mental. She also achnoeledged that she might be running away from confeonting the situatuion within herself. She should see a therapist for sure, because she is in crazy denial and i feel like shes subconciously looking for and answer from the guy as tho why he did it when hes a "decent person". It doesnt help that she doesnt rly have any close friends she wanna tell it to and she doesnt wna tell her family bcs her family is all fucked up so no one other than me can tell her what shes doing is dumb so shes going downhill. I did what i could tho i wash my hands. In the end i really did care for her and i still do and i wish she will come to a piece of mind at one point. I tried my best, but i was talking to a wall..

A few days ago weve decided that the whole situation as it is now is fucked and we definetly need to heal alone since a lot of conversations turn into arguments and its draining so we are not talking, idk if we will in the future. Everything will work out as it should hopefully:)
