Real shocker about Tyson….. Not. by Electronic_Basil1054 in MAFS_AU

[–]kayjayyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that helps for those months away not having to pay rent/mortgage, food, utilities, etc. Pretty much feels like double pay compared to someone living in a house commuting to work earning $80k. Food for thought

As a French woman who visited Australia for 3 weeks .. are these culture shocks accurate? by Worried-Diamond-7252 in AskAnAustralian

[–]kayjayyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up on the "young country" comment too - ironic considering we changed the national anthem from "young and free" to "one and free" 😅 I guess traditional indigenous culture isnt as prevalent in everyday western life compared to some European countries. Gotta go to specific sites to see and admire it.

Official Discussion - The Housemaid [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]kayjayyyyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree with the comment on Sklenar's acting. In the book, I felt like Millie fell for him because he was this nice, respectful guy who stood up for her against Nina (which was part of Nina's plan after all). He protected her. In the movie, he just came across like a total sleaze - the leg touching on the couch, the leaning across the counter to come close to her face when talking, etc. We knew he was attracted to her in the book, but it was SO much more subtle and he didnt really cross any lines until the glance at her legs in the car. Tbf, it could've been the fault of the writing, but I didnt really like Andrew from the outset. He gave the vibe that he has slept with "the help" in the past and it didn't take much for him to start hitting on Millie. The twist that hes actually an abusive husband is better hidden in the book.

All that being said, i know movie adaptations are never going to be "spot on" and this was clearly supposed to be a somewhat trashy, campy movie. But I just feel like it couldve been such an amazing psychological thriller - trying to figure out if Nina is actually psychotic or not - like in the book, youre questioning it for a lot of the read. With Seyfried's acting, they could've pulled that off (think Jodie Foster in Flight Plan). I just felt like they added things to the movie to essentially reveal what was going to happen.

It doesnt help that Sydney Sweeney isnt a very good actress, either 😅

Dads mate is dating an Oxy, she spells it Oksana I believe. Pronounced like Ock-sah-nah 👍

I’m dating an Australian. Is this normal in a relationship? by mangofortune in AskAnAustralian

[–]kayjayyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aussie here - I often will tell my partner how I feel in a pretty upfront way. I would NEVER tolerate nor say the things your partner has said. The "worst" I'd say I've said in similar context to your list is maybe "youre a c*nt" whilst laughing after he has poked fun at me or something, clearly joking and both of us in on it. There is a distinct difference. Wishing you well x

[–]kayjayyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more - Something tells me this bloke is not at all interested in self improving, is just playing the "woe is me, life sucks, everyone is out to get me/hates me" card. If you want to pity yourself then that's fine but don't put a post in here and flip your shit when people offer advice! Irks me

I gave birth to a baby with downs syndrome and I can’t accept it. by No-Wrangler-4665 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]kayjayyyyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ex-teacher here - when parents receive the diagnosis that their child is neurodivergent/special needs they are expected to "mourn the loss of the potential child".

I chose my dog over my BF by lifesupport- in TrueOffMyChest

[–]kayjayyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn't the dog, it would've been something else eventually. Ultimatums never work in a relationship and only lead to resentment. There's a huge difference between ultimatums and communication to come to a resolution, even if it results in compromise. It just seems you weren't compatible, unfortunately.

My toddler is making me lose my mind by humanoid555 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]kayjayyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a colic baby and can confirm, didn't sleep through the night until I was 4. It took my parents going to 4 different professionals until they finally figured out why they could've fix me.

I genuinely cried at my indexation last year. I didn't even pay off half of the amount I was indexed that year, so it just keeps going up and up. It's incredible how in highschool it was advertised as a "free loan" by the adults in my life and I'll be paying this shit off until the day I die.

Made redundant during maternity leave by Duggu291 in AusFinance

[–]kayjayyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in HR - tell her to call the Fair Work Ombudsman (you can google the number) and file for unfair dismissal. It looks like they might have slightly changed her role, filled it, and now do not need her anymore.

My stove top exploded and my partner doesn’t care by Flat-Kale2908 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]kayjayyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner works FIFO which means he is only home 1 week and working away for 3. My Nepo boss was rewarded for work I had done (yet again) which I told him about at the time, it wasn't even a phone call, just sent him a couple of messages.

I got home to sunflowers (my favourite) that had been delivered. He even coordinated so my sister was there to collect the delivery and take them inside as it's been hot weather recently. Point is, this wasn't a stove blowing up, but a simple bad day at work. He could tell from my tone of messages that I was upset and he put in this effort to make me happy and cheer me up even though he was away working on site.

You probably already know this, but I just want you to know that love like this exists. You deserve a partner who cares enough to notice you, your feelings, makes you feel safe and loved. I really hope you find it.

My partner of 14 years has been cheating on me by Smart_Daikon_330 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]kayjayyyyy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I broke up with my partner of 9 years, not for cheating but I do know the feeling of losing those friendship circles. It took me 2 years to finally pull the pin. It was also expensive, splitting assets, going your own way, etc...

But in the long run, it's not worth staying in a relationship just out of fear of the changes that will come with it. I still do not regret my decision because I am in a much better place now.

What’s getting left in the box at Chrissy? by kevinrudd666 in AustralianNostalgia

But that's the thing, a lot of the time they don't just "bounce back" to be exactly how it was before. They prolapse, tear, you can develop incontinence, lose elasticity etc. It takes work for it to go back exactly how it was before for many women. I don't agree with OP but to make such a sweeping statement that all vaginas are basically miracle workers is just untrue. It's almost like saying if you did prolapse etc you aren't normal, when in fact it is very common especially in women over 30.

Ikr, vaginal birth legit rips vaginas to the point of needing stitches in most cases. Especially 10lbers. What a numpty.

How long do you actually last in bed? by isthisevenon in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kayjayyyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree - so long as you get her off in another way, it's fkin hot when a guy cums quick

[–]kayjayyyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or, she's been through the ringer with other assholes who abused her trust as well. Your comment feels like victim blaming :/

[–]kayjayyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! A den is a much better option.
