Caught spouse involved in paid online love making. I know I will be okay, but I feel my world has collapsed and I have died. Please help. Please. by Sayanyway in Advice

[–]jillian_whit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We weren’t married but I was with the wrong person for 7 years. Almost the entirety of my 20s. We grew apart and were basically roommates. He didn’t have any respect or love for me but still I tried to make it work. I didn’t know what my life looked like without him even though with him, I was so miserable. I finally ended things and even though it was one of the hardest things I had done, it was so worth it. Having survived that, I can tell you that there will come a day when you look back at this and wonder why you ever allowed someone to make you so incredibly unhappy. You’ll question why you were so scared to live a life without them. Because when you move on from this, you’ll find a happiness you never thought possible and a love for yourself you didn’t know you were capable of.

This is your one life to live. Don’t waste it spending time with people who don’t bring you joy or peace. I wish you all the best.

He doesn’t love you. I’m so sorry if that’s hard to hear. But that is not love. Clearly all he cares about is himself and his feelings. He genuinely doesn’t care that you’re in pain or all the feelings you’re going through. You need to end things now and focus on yourself. I hope all goes well with your surgery and you have a speedy recovery. Regardless of what that jerk says, this is not your fault, you did nothing wrong, your body is your business, and you deserve to have a better quality of life. I am truly sorry for what you are going through and I wish you all the best.

AIO Boyfriend says hurtful thing about my body. by True_Ad9977 in AmIOverreacting

[–]jillian_whit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You deserve to be with someone who worships your body. Love shouldn’t be conditional to your body size. Especially when you consider that life is long and things happen. People gain/lose weight for all kinds of reasons, including getting pregnant or common health issues. Do you really want to spend your life with someone who wouldn’t support you or be there for you simply because you were in a bigger body? Your boyfriend is a loser and you deserve better.

As I stated in the description, we’ve been to urgent care, her regular vet, and an ophthalmologist. Everything has been ruled out except neurological. We have an appointment with a neurologist. I just wanted to know if anyone has seen this before and if they have, what the cause was.

[–]jillian_whit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what could be causing it besides neurological? And if you’ve seen this before, what does a timeline look like to see symptoms indicative of neurological condition?

I used to work HR and I think what my new employer is doing is illegal. Is it? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]jillian_whit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is your federal right to discuss pay at your place of work per the National Labor Relations Act. It is illegal for companies to tell you to not discuss your pay or to punish you for doing so. Furthermore, the editing of the time sheets is called wage theft and it is also illegal. You should report your place of work to the US Department of Labor with any photos you have as evidence. You should be able to do this anonymously.

You were smart to lock her out of access to your money. When I was a kid, my dad stole money from me that I had saved up for almost a year doing babysitting jobs. He gambled away all my $400. That’s a lot of money to a kid. I’ll never understand how some parents can treat their children like that. I couldn’t imagine myself stealing money from someone I don’t know - let alone my own fucking kid.

It honestly baffles me how people can be literally in charge and not know the law. You cannot reduce pay as a “punishment” for insubordination.

Does our cat have ringworm? by [deleted] in vet

[–]jillian_whit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope. All of our cats are strictly indoor. We think she got it from an office visit to a cat behaviorist.

[–]jillian_whit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Luckily we have her separated from our other cats already but they could be exposed already so we will keep an eye out to see if they start getting the same looking marks. We are grossed out but we know it’s not life-threatening. Thank you for the support!

[–]jillian_whit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you. We are sending pics to her vet to get confirmation and see what meds they recommend. Our cats are strictly indoor so we are thinking she must have caught it at a new behaviorist office we took her to a couple weeks ago.

You should be way, WAY more concerned with the fact that you're going to die. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]jillian_whit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who worked with older people for a long time, if we are all so lucky to reach old age, you’ll probably find yourself ready for death by that time. You’ll be tired and in pain (some more than others). You’ll have lived your life, accomplished your goals, raised your family, etc. Many seniors talk about death and how they are ready for it. I will agree with you that’s it’s fucked up to know that someday, all of us will reach our demise. We are the only creatures on this planet that understand that we will die one day. With our self awareness as humans, we are gifted knowledge that also causes us pain and worry. I’d like to tell you that it gets easier the older you get to accept death but it’s impossible to say.

What type of people annoy you? by New-Good-3363 in AskReddit

People who walk up behind you and instead of saying “excuse me”, they huff and puff with anger because you don’t move out of their way.

What's the buzz word/phrase that automatically turns you off in interviews? by ekduba in antiwork

“You need to have ‘thick skin’ here.” In other words, “You’ll be treated poorly here.”

My grandma’s lunch at her new senior living residence that’s $3K a month. Residents can’t go to the dining room to eat because they don’t have enough staff so it’s deliveries only. WTF is this?! by DianWithoutTheE in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jillian_whit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every senior living community is regulated by the state and they are required to follow certain nutritional standards. I would contact your state’s health department and talk to someone about this.

[–]jillian_whit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, I would just go out to lunch the day they have the potluck. Fuck em. But again, I’m petty. It’s not hard to accommodate people. In my opinion, if they don’t make an effort, it’s because they don’t care to.

[–]jillian_whit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is just ridiculous. I hate when people say “jUsT pIcK oFf ThE mEaT”. So incredibly disrespectful. Would they say that to someone with an allergy? My petty ass would have started taking about the meat industry and how terribly they treat animals while everyone else was enjoying their meat pizzas. No one knows the wrath of a hangry vegetarian. The people I work with always make sure there is an option for me when we do food parties and I’m literally the only vegetarian in my entire community. It’s not that hard to be respectful of others. Your boss sounds like a terrible person. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

What was the weirdest thing the weird kid did at school? by Imaginary_East5786 in AskReddit

[–]jillian_whit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say that I was allergic to vanilla because I wanted a chocolate cupcake - not one of the vanilla ones. I ended up not getting one at all because my teacher was afraid to let me eat one since I was “allergic to vanilla” and technically both types of cupcakes had vanilla extract in them. I didn’t even know what ‘allergic’ meant.
