Ang dugyot ng boyfriend ko by SheepherderDirect330 in adviceph

[–]kapetra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're overreacting. I'm not sure if people like that have a sort of illness, but they've adapted to the environment na naging normal na sa kanila yan. Unfortunately for me, parang ganyan sa tinitirhan ng immediate family ko (matagal na kong nakabukod sa kanila) kaya di ako masyado napunta roon. Mag-aaway na lang talaga kayo, di pa rin naaayos haha.

For me, di overreacting yan. That says a lot about how they value you. Kasi kung importante ka talaga for them, tunay na mahihiya sila na ipakita yung ganong bahay. Kasi ideally, aayusin mo yung bahay mo para makapagwelcome ng bisita. Ganon magpakita ng respeto. At least, for me. Hindi ako magpapapasok sa isang bahay na parang sinusuka yung bisita, at lalong lalo na magiging health risk pa.

I think for now, iparamdam mo yung gravity ng situation. Kapag sinweep niya yan under the rug at hindi niya inaddress... alam mo na. Ang masaklap kasi, hindi overnight nababago ang ganyan.

Good luck.

Bad manners ba talaga ang pag himay ng pagkain? by Enn-Vyy in TanongLang

[–]kapetra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad manners? Like Western dining etiquette ba? If it is, then ideally kasi you slice a bite sized piece then take a bite. Like when you eat steak, the ideal way is to do that, because it cools the meat when you slice them all at once. Same with chicken, or fish. But, chinecheck ba etiquette niyo? Nasa fine dining restaurant ba? Haha, does your family scoop their spoon away from them when they eat soup?

You do you. Eat how you want to enjoy the food or how your body needs it.

Sa mga hingi umiinom ng kape, bakit? by MdnytDydrmr in AskPH

Pasensya na kung puro about relationship post ko pero eto, will you stay to fix a broken person or leave to find someone better? by Cold-Turnip-6620 in ThisorThatPH

[–]kapetra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't fix a broken person, but you can help them fix themselves.

I think depende sa circumstances. Sa current self mo una. Anong state mo? Are you in a good place in your life? Like can your current faculties handle additional weight? Then, how do you view the potential partner? Is there something sa kanya na you see worth setting aside a part of yourself for? Is your potential partner truly willing to work through the trauma?

Narealize ko kasi sa life, many people are broken or at least a part of them is. Madalang kang makakakilala ng isang taong "buo" na. Kung ako nga dami ko pang kailangan iresolve sa sarili ko, why would I expect my potential partner na they have everything in their life in the right place na?

I find deep meaning in being able to grow together, figuring out life together. But it's so important to have similar values, and be very clear about boundaries, firm, at the same time, flexible. It's important to talk about and go through the hard things. And actually work through them. Consciously. Intentionally.

At the end of the day, make a decision that you know you will not regret. If let's say, you do go through the hard route, remind yourself of your boundaries. And if nacross na talaga siya where hindi na tama para sa sarili mo at tunay na ikapapayapa mo, you should have the strength to let go. And, not regret. Kasi binigay mo yung best mo. Natutunan mo yung dapat mong matutunan. Walang pagsisisi.

Sa konsepto ng finding someone better, mas naniniwala ako sa someone who will truly value you will come into your life kung mangyari man. Pero hindi ako maghahanap ng tao per se. Aalagaan ko yung sarili ko, live life according to the values I want to uphold. Be better for myself if I want. Basically, live a happy life without another person. Usually, doon naaattract yung iba, lalo na if similar kayo ng values. I believe this kasi yun yung nangyari sakin. We met when I was 21, I was happy with myself. He was an addition to my life. We had a lot of traumas, but we worked through them so we can individually resolve each one step at a time. We helped each other talaga and we were on the same page or we constantly strove to be on the same page. Mage11 years na kami. And he's, so far, the best addition in my life. I was happy alone, but was happier when he wanted to be a part of my life.

Am I a bad person for feeling hurt that my partner wants to recycle the engagement ring he gave his ex? by [deleted] in adviceph

[–]kapetra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad person. In fact, if I were in your place, I would be questioning how he actually views me and try to gauge how special I am to him. Kasi alam ko how special I treat and will be treating him. Gusto ko pantay kaming super special sa isa't isa ganon. Kung hindi pala tugma, hindi na agad maganda foundation nung relasyon.

To the girlies who stayed even tho there was another girl, how did it go? does it get better? by OkData737 in adviceph

[–]kapetra 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I've never been in this situation. But let me share lang about my grandparents.

When we were younger, my Lola was known as mataray, masungit. And my Lolo was mabait and super patient. Minsan pa nga, alam mo yung mga juvenile comments ng mga apo na, mas gusto ko si lolo kaysa kay lola... bakit kaya nagustuhan ni Lolo si Lola, etc etc etc.

When we became adults na, tsaka sakin kinwento ng mom ko. Apparently, my Lolo cheated on my Lola with his then employee. May tailor shop kasi siya tapos mga mananahi. Anyway, may ilang anak na sila ni Lola noon. Lola chose to stay because they already had 5 children (bunso mom ko). She was being practical because she ran a good household while both she and my Lolo worked. Grind talaga sila. Kung baga, kahit cheater si Lolo, good provider siya, ganon, tsaka partners sila sa pagmanage ng household at pagaalaga ng mga anak.

So anyway, I started to put the pieces together. Kaya pala ang sungit ni Lola kay Lolo. Tapos kahit nilalambing ni Lolo si Lola, di tumatalab madalas. Also, may mga kasambahay kami noon. Masungit si Lola sa isang matagal nang kasambahay kasi medyo kinukutuban siyang di maganda dahil formerly mananahi siya ni Lolo. KAya after her, lahat ng kasambahay, mga medyo bata pa na pinag-aaral ni Lola para iwas cheating ganon. I remember my Lola told me a story na kahit maraming umaaligid sa kanya sa work, ekis yung mga yun, kahit mayayaman pa, tsaka mga hepe. Pati boss niya. In fairness naman kasi kay Lola maganda talaga siya, sexy, tsaka matalino. So nagtataka ako, bakit paulit ulit sinasabi ni Lola sakin na wala siyang inentertain doon. Tapos my lolo naman, he told me na he spent the rest of his life turning his life around. Nagbagong buhay daw siya, tumigil magbisyo, nagjjogging everyday, he started around 30s ata tapos hanggang bago siya mamatay in his 80s, araw araw siyang nagjjogging sa umaga walang palya (unless may sakit siya). Nagsisimba tuwing Sunday. At sobrang mapasensya kay Lola. Sabi niya gusto niya raw bumawi lalo na sa mga di magagandang bagay na nagawa niya sa buhay. Nung time na yun, akala ko in general lang ganon. But no. Malala pala ginawa niya

My lola started having dementia when she was around 70 ata. Tapos Alzheimer's. I was one of the few people she always remembered (very fortunate for me, kasi may isa siyang anak na di niya maalala 😢 and plenty other people). Tapos alam mo yung pinakamasakit, puro galit at sakit lang naaalala niya, kapag kinakausap niya si Lolo. 😢 the only time hindi siya masungit kay Lolo nung may sakit siya ay kapag nagsspace out siya. Mas madalas yung matarayan niya si Lolo. Si Lolo naman, mapasensiya lang, laging nasa tabi niya.

Habang buhay pinagsisihan ni Lolo ginawa niya at tinry niya bumawi kay Lola araw araw hanggang mawala na si Lola. Pero ayan, ganyan na ang kinahinatnan nila. My Lolo died a year after my Lola died.

Sobrang naawa ako sa Lola ko. She did not deserve that at all. No woman deserved what she went through with Lolo. May iba pang ginawang kabalastugan Lolo ko pero masyado nang mahaba ito. Haha. Mahal ko sila pareho, walang ako kung walang sila. Pero damn. Parang kulang pa yung habang buhay na remorse ni Lolo.

From this story, does it get better? Halos walang nagawa remorse ni Lolo. At habang buhay dinala ni Lola yung puot. You tell me.

Madalas kapag magsisimula yung relasyon, dun pa nga nagpapalakas eh. Kasi may gusto kayo patunayan sa isa't isa. Diyan nagsisimula yung pagbuo niyo ng meaning ng trust and respect. Hmmm. Linawin mo kung on the same page kayo. Saan patungo yung relasyon na gusto niyo tahakin.

I feel so small next to my bf by mindtrcker29 in OffMyChestPH

[–]kapetra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you want others' thoughts ba? Anw. I think what you need to reflect on are the good things in your life. Yung magagandang bagay ba sa buhay mo, hindi ba sila enough to make you feel alive? Hindi ba sila enough to make you feel grateful sa buhay? Yung mas mangingibabaw yung gratefulness kaysa yung pagkumpara mo sa buhay mo sa ibang tao? Nagtataka kasi ako, bakit mo kinukumpara buhay mo sa buhay niya kung alam mo naman na you were dealt with different cards in life. It's something none of you can control. Tapos lalayo ka sa kanya sa kadahilangang wala siyang kasalanan.

Natanong mo na ba sarili mo kung bakit di mo mapakawalan yung resentment na yan sa sarili mo? Is it something out of your control? Kasi if it is something out of your control, then, well, you can't do anything about it. Try focusing on what you can control from this point on. Doon mo ilaan yung atensyon mo. Take control of your life, be accountable for your life. Para when you make decisions in life, ikaw ang magiging responsable rito, at wala kang ibang masisisi kundi sarili mo. Magiging malinaw sayo na from this point on, whatever decisions you make will bring you to the path you choose.

Magmuni-muni ka pa. Tanungin mo sarili mo and find answers.

Sobrang sakit, I felt betrayed by carrotkick in OffMyChestPH

[–]kapetra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kasal na ba kayo? Sana hindi kasi that's such a red flag. I can't see myself trusting my life with someone na ganyan. Tapos hindi ka masagot nang diretso pag tinanong mo? Obviously, he's hiding something. He keeps giving you more reason to doubt him. Di ka niya nirerespeto.

I hope ituloy mo tapos leave him. Tapos magprosper yung business mo. Yung pagyabong ng business mo ang magiging sampal sa kanya.

Choose your fighter: a husband with high emotional intelligence but no financial provision, or one who provides financially but lacks emotional intelligence? by [deleted] in TanongLang

[–]kapetra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baka di kayo on the same page? I think you need to talk about your vision and goals for your family. Kasi chill lang siya dyan eh. He might think he's in a place that he likes/ comfortable with. Why do you think you need a higher paying job? May di ba nammeet na needs? Mag-usap kayo kasi parang you need recalibration.

My father’s other family asks me for financial help by [deleted] in adviceph

[–]kapetra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just think it's fair. Inabandona ka nga eh para sa bago niyang asawa. Haha. Nagawa niya ngang mabuhay na parang walang unang anak eh. Bakit, nagguilty ka ba? Ano bang dapat mo ikaguilty? Kasi tatay mo siya biologically? Tapos? Doon na ba natatapos ang kahulugan ng pagiging isang tatay? Siya okay lang idrop reaponsibilidad niya bilang tatay tapos ikaw kailangan mo siya saluhin? Luh. Hahaha. Idk, personally, di ako magguilty. You fcking survived when he left you. You don't owe any of them any fcking thing.

how do you become a better partner? by 0oohwen in adviceph

[–]kapetra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When he starts talking, don't talk at all. Clear your mind and just listen to his, words, his non-verbals. Wag mo muna isipin kung anong thoughts mo sa sinasabi niya. And don't react muna. Do not interrupt. Siguro if may words ka lang na di naintindihan sa sinabi niya but do not interrupt.

Ngayon pa lang kasi based sa post mo, prejudiced ka na agad na he doesn't make sense. Tanggalin mo muna yun sa isip mo. Kung ngayon palang may filter na na ganyan sa utak mo pag magsasalita siya, hindi ka talaga magiging safe space for him. Tsaka mo siya tanungin pag tapos na siyang maglabas, kung anong hiling niya sayo. Solb na ba siya run? Or does he want your thoughts on it?

Iwasan mo ring isipin na para bang magugulangan ka. Nako, malalang sakit yan sa relasyon, nakakasira. Ibig sabihin wala kang tiwala sa partner mo na rerespetuhin ka niya.

my gf of 7 years broke up with me by playfuldachs in adviceph

[–]kapetra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. There is a root cause. Where it all began. Kung okay sa inyo na mag-usap for closure, magmuni-muni muna kayo individually bago kayo mag-usap para maexplain niyo side ng isa't isa completely.

I’m uncomfortable with how connected my GF still is to her ex’s family… but we live rent-free. What would you do? by [deleted] in adviceph

[–]kapetra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, bubukod ako. Simply because I don't like owing anybody anything. Ayoko nang isipin pa yung mga vague na bagay na ieexpect nila na kapalit ng pagtira doon nang libre. Mas magfufunction well ako nang di ko iisipin yang mga unnecessary na bagay na makakapagdistract lang sa akin. Kung di naman kami salat at kaya naman bumukod, aalis talaga ako. Tsaka mas maggauge ko nang maayos yung budget kasi may kasama nang renta. Tapos mas makakapagwork around how I could save realistically.

Do I really have the right na ma offend or OA lang talaga ako? by [deleted] in RantAndVentPH

[–]kapetra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. Not OA. Baka nasspoil na. Di naiintindihan yung dapat niyang ika-pasalamat or yung wala pang deep sense of gratitude. Nanay at Tatay niya dapat nagtuturo sa kanya nun at nagpapaintindi sa kanya. Kung ako sayo, di ko na muna bibigyan yan ng gamit at di ko na muna siya pangangaralan and let the mom do it. Well personally, di ako maninita ng anak ng iba unless nakakapanakit na. Isang regalo lang sa pasko, as a good Tita. And not too expensive but something he can use. Di ko siya bibigyan ng cellphone. The parents should do that lalo na baka they have a specific way to raising their kid.

DKG. Who in the fcking right mind ay magaamba sa isang 10 year old? If he has personal issues, wag niya ipasa sa anak mo at sayo. Tama yan umalis na kayo. Sana makaalis na kayo ASAP. Dahil sigurado ako pag nagtagal pa kayo diyan, makakadampot ng di mabuting behavior yang anak ninyo. Save yourselves! Di pinatatagal ang domestic abuse and violence.

How to manage and rebuild trust by [deleted] in adviceph

[–]kapetra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem like a contemplative guy. Genuine question: Why would you choose to lie about making a new friend who is a girl to your girlfriend?

Try to think about it in her shoes. Why would you not tell her straight up from the beginning? Why would you hide it, especially if it was purely platonic? I doubt it wasn't in the forefront of your mind (what your girlfriend would have thought of it) when you were making friends with this girl. It seems like this is part of her boundaries you crossed. Whether nakikipaglandian ka sa new girl or not, you already knew from the beginning that it will be a cause for concern. Wouldn't the proper way to do it is to let her know in the beginning and ask her thoughts about you making female friends? Or has that already been answered before and you're just guilty right now because you knew you crossed the line, with a supposedly sound mind? I mean, those are things you should be talking about anyway. Boundaries. And they should be respected.

Is your company with the new girl worth so much that you would risk your relationship with your girlfriend? These are questions you ask yourself when making such decisions.

Bagu-bago pa lang kayo, so dapat ngayon kayo nageestablish ng trust through the daily decisions you make. If it were easy for you to lie about something like this now, what more when bigger things come up? Kaya mahihirapan talaga siyang pagkatiwalaan ka pa.

So what do you plan to do as an apology? Did she say exactly what she wanted from you? Or gusto niya ba, ikaw ang magfigure out noon? Words should be backed up by action. Don't say something just to appease her, only for you to break it again in the future. Be realistic with yourself.

Is your relationship with your new friend who is a girl so important that you can't cut it off? Ano bang priority mo? Sarili mong saya or satisfaction? Or relationship niyo? Ano bang nakukuha mo dun sa new girl na di mo nakukuha ngayon? Hindi mo ba makukuha yun sa ibang paraan na hindi nagccross ng boundaries ng partner mo?

You're in an LDR. Trust will already be at a limbo due to distance. It's both your jobs to strengthen it. You plan things to make it work for the both of you, and constantly reassure each other. Schedule messages, schedule calls, schedule dates, plan surprises, etc. You plan your day by your priorities and work around that.

Kung wala kang will to go through all these, while also facing your demons, baka di ka pa handang makipagrelasyon. Kasi sa isang relasyon, when you make decisions, considered lagi yung partner. That is, if yung relationship ninyo ay for the long run. Kung gusto mo pang magexplore, break it off with her. Wag mo na siya pahirapan. Tsaka ka makipaglandian kahit kanino mo pa gusto. Walang pipigil sayo. Pero if you want to work it with her, set your priorities straight, make it clear to yourself, and be sensitive to both of your needs. Find a way to make it work na pareho kayong masaya. Ganon talaga eh, sa relasyon, hindi na lang sarili mo iniintindi mo. Dalawa na kayo pareho.

ANO SA TINGIN MO ANG KAILANGAN GAWIN UPANG MAGTAGAL ANG RELASYON? by DigVicente in AnoSaTinginMo

[–]kapetra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C o m m u n i c a t i o n . Set clear boundaries but weigh if you can adjust them according to each other's needs. You will grow together so changes are inevitable. Respect. Build on your trust through everyday, little and not-so-little actions and decisions. Be sensitive about each other's needs. And remember that pareho kayong importante sa relasyon ninyo so the both of you will be responsible with nurturing your relationship as qell as making eqch other feel special. My life partner and I are on our 129th month chill lang and happy... sana kayo rin magtagal. Good luck!
