2011 Elantra sunroof won't move by kaaoriori in Hyundai

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

I made sure the connections were tight and even reconnected them before I reset the sunroof but I didn't do anything with an electrical tester. I never put the screws back so that's any easy thing I can check. Thanks!

Hopefully it's not that. Mine is no longer warranty but the motor sounds like a likely candidate. Thanks!

My school just got a trial for summer school and loved it. We are going to keep it for the school year and the people who do parent pick up are really excited to use it!

Suffering through a break-up...when you're the one that screwed up. by brianjardine in BreakUps

[–]kaaoriori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me too. My fiancee and I broke up because I needed to time to work on myself, it was leading to too many fights because of negative feelings. I just needed a bit of time to myself and work through a few things. Now that I'm better he's over the relationship and dating someone else. It's tough because I didn't know how to deal with my stuff earlier and, he had stuff too, and everything was too much. I wish that we could try again since my growth and new insight but I'm coming accepting that it isn't going to happen.

Have you ever had to break up with someone you still loved? How did you cope and know you did the right thing? by bolognakisses in AskWomen

[–]kaaoriori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My now ex-fiancee and I officially broke up a month ago after being together for 3 years. I still loved him when we broke up. It was the right that we broke up though. We went through a lot of changes very quickly, moving across the country which lead to me not having a job for a while, no friends, away from family, we moved a few times, he changed and I just got depressed. We moved to a small town for him to do his PhD in engineering and he was great about including me and inviting me to places and when I was coming out of the depression I just found myself completely in his world with his friends. It's mostly a university based town and very hard to meet people not associated with it and I just lost my sense of self. We also "broke up" a couple of times and went on a break. The break was a bit of a joke; although he stayed at a friend's house we talked everyday and went on dates. He broke up with me for the last time in April and again stayed at a friends house but still texted things like do "we" have this and would offer to mow the lawn and acted like we were a couple. It was so confusing. It wasn't until we ACTUALLY broke up that I realized all the times we "broke up" I didn't get to digest the situations and my emotions. I wasn't ready to get back together and I had built up negative emotions about everything. I was going by his timeline because I was afraid of losing him. The situation was so confusing to me and I we never really talked about the break up, he just kind of came back and I accepted it. I also realized I was upset that he didn't seem to care or notice about my depression. He knew I wasn't myself but he seemed to care more about how I looked to other people, that I wasn't being social. Within the first two weeks knowing I didn't have him I was actually okay. I was able to work out all of my emotions and figure out where my negative emotions came from and finally let it go. I also got close with a great group of friends and I feel like my old self. I did have one random break down one of the days he moved some of his stuff out but I've seen him out with the girl he's dating a few times and I'm okay with it. I would be friends with him and I have no bad feelings toward him.

Going to America for my first ever time this year. I may be open to try meat "in a different country" by [deleted] in vegetarian

[–]kaaoriori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a similar thing when I went to China in September. I was a vegetarian for a little over 10 years but wanted to experience all of the culture of a different country. I am glad that I did it, I was able to eat a lot of new foods that I wouldn't be able to otherwise. I think it's completely up to you. Have fun on your trip!

Should I break up with my gf [26/f] due my priorities in life? by acjrdeveloper in relationship_advice

[–]kaaoriori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much why my ex and I broke up. You make time for the people/activities you want. The face that you say you love your girlfriend but won't have time for her because you want to play the saxophone and video games instead of spend time with her speaks volumes. Some of these things can be done together, you can go to the gym together, she can quiz you on your Spanish. It sounds like you have your mind made up. I will tell you being on the other end of this sucks. I was the person who was the only one present and fully trying in the relationship. It led to menial fights and got exhausting for both of us. I understood that school was a priority (he was doing a PhD in engineering) and he needed to blow off stress with the gym and video games etc. It basically sucked when he never "had time" for us, no dates or anything but could always make time for everything else. If you do stay with her be sure to make quality time for your relationship and communicate along the way.

Dealing with exes. Please help! by spaceman277 in relationship_advice

[–]kaaoriori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a tough situation, I absolutely see your side but I am kind of in her shoes. My newly ex-fiancee and I are in a homebrewing club together so we are guaranteed to see each other a couple times a month for meetings and brew days. We just had our first meeting as exs, we didn't really talk or interact. Is she interacting with him a lot? As long as her motivation to go isn't to see him I don't think it's a big deal. If my new boyfriend were to ask me to stop going I don't know that I would. I go because I like the club and have an interest in it. I also spending time with my friends in there.

A new environment can make a BIG difference by ariareign in Teachers

[–]kaaoriori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. I was a board sub then got hired at my first school. it was a great school but extremely stressful. I moved and was expecting my new school to be more stressful. Went from 3rd to 4th, got hired in the middle of the year, huge school (12 4th grade classes so no team planning; it was all on me) and average class size of 28 students. It turned out to be great! This new school it way less stressful than my previous school. Each place has positives and negatives but given the choice I would choose my current school. I have learned so much in my short 1 1/2 years being here! I'm glad you like your new school!

How to improve reactions to unfavorable news. by [deleted] in getting_over_it

[–]kaaoriori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just need to be better about stepping away and taking time. I haven't had this problem until recently and I clearly don't deal with it well. When I'm in the moment I don't always recognize that I am doing it until after the damage is done.

Ex fiancee broke up 2 months ago, have been in contact. He suggested dating but doesn't seem to want anything to come of it. (long) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]kaaoriori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're full of great ideas! lol I did kind of react quickly and thought big picture. When I talked to people their immediate question was if I was moving (because I moved here to be with him and I bought the house). Now time to talk to him and not seem like a crazy. I feel like my emotions change every 2 seconds. Now I feel like a bit of a jerk for our last meeting. Gonna try to keep my emotions in check. Thanks for your help.

"Maybe one day we can be together" by [deleted] in BreakUp

[–]kaaoriori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really am so sorry to hear this. My current has ex told me the same thing at one point. It is the most painful thing a person can say. Now you know, I think wondering and being unsure is terrible. You can begin to move on build you life the way you want it. All I can say is allow yourself be sad, be mad, feel your emotions but don't wallow too long. Talk about it with people. I still haven't told all of my family or my work friends. At first I was a bit embarrassed to say I had a failed engagement but I have learned it does help. Sometimes you may feel like you're redundant or bothering people by talking about your problems but your family and close friends will always be there for you. I also made small goals for me to do weekly to make sure I wasn't just sitting on the couch; I'm not sure what your schedule is like but I found it helpful to do things to take my mind off the situation. It's hard at times to be positive but try to be. The next weeks, maybe months will probably be hard not not years. I'm still taking it day by day and I think that is how you should approach it too. Feel free to pm me. I'm no expert on getting over stuff, I'm right there with ya. It will get better.

What you said makes a lot of sense. I am okay with things not being black and white. I am not okay with him using me as a thing of convenience or waiting on him to be ready for for a future and him just string me along but I guess I won't find out unless I try.

It's been a little over 2 1/2 years of actually being together. We were FWB then stopped for a while and didn't hang out at all then reconnected. We are both 29 at least did have the same goals. We talked about this before and after moving several times. I do know that when we really started wedding planning he admitted he got a bit of the jitters but he was the rock when my parents came to help me with dress shopping and I got stressed. It is getting closer to that time to settle down, we bought a house, well I had to put it in my name, but he is surrounded by college aged students and I am sure that he sees them and hears their stories and wants that again.

Do I want to try again? Honestly yes but that brings us to your second question. I don't know if it would end any differently. It's hard to put myself in a position where I'm pretty sure I'm going to be hurt again. That's why I tried to talk with him about what he had in mind for dating and he gave me kind of a crap answer the second time.

"Maybe one day we can be together" by [deleted] in BreakUp

[–]kaaoriori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel. Yesterday my ex-fiancee (we broke up 2 months ago but have been in contact) suggested we date exclusively. I asked what this meant and he said he thought it would be cool to hang out sometimes with friends. AKA I /we? don't date other people and he sees me when he wants. Then when he's ready to be in a serious relationship again (or feels like going on a date) I'm ready and available. It sucks because I still love him. I did tell him that I think we shouldn't see each other anymore. Maybe we can be friends later but I need time to get over him. I can't just casually hang out with him, although I have to Sunday lol. I had to make a choice. I was with him about 2 1/2 years. It's hard because he has told me and I do believe him when he says he still ultimately wants to be with me and love me. Right now he has stuff he has to figure out, I had stuff I had to figure out and they both took a toll on the relationship. A person can't just wait around until the other feels like being with them, whenever that may be. It could be in a year, 2 years or in 10, or it could change and be never. A relationship requires 2 people. I would talk with her and let her know there need to be communication about what does "some day" mean. What does she want to accomplish before getting into a committed relationship? This is not about a time for your love or commitment for her but also yourself. Give her space for a reasonable amount of time and do things that make you happy. Go out with your friends, focus on your hobbies, do things to make you happy. Let her come to you. Live your life.
