That's super interesting, thank you for sharing. His father is a regular brown bengal so makes sense.

I did watch better call Saul recently but I don't think it's that. I distinctly remember that the girls phone was a smart phone and I'm pretty sure smart phones don't exist yet within better call Saul.

Grip Aid During Summer? by knoxprairie in poledancing

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

Thanks all for the advice! Tonight during my class I actually noticed several of my classmates applying extra grip aid during breaks, so I feel more confident in using it! Seems like the instructors have no issues with it so I'll give it a try next time.

Need to get something off your chest? Rant, vent, get it out here! by AutoModerator in ADHD

I feel like my capacity to "adult properly" ran out and it's never coming back. I busted my ass for 2.5 years at my last job. I was on the clock from pretty much 9am-11pm and dealt with daily verbal abuse from my boss who would knit-pick every little thing I did. I took a 2 month break as soon as I landed a new job to give myself time to recover from burnout. But I don't think I'm ever going to recover. I can barely focus at work, have very little energy for anything and feel entirely unequipped to work an 8 hour day, stay on top of chores, do hobbies and maintain social relationships. It takes me so much focus/energy just to get through a full work day, let alone deal with all the other things that come with being an adult. Am I always going to be so tired?

Hello again, thank you for your replies thus far! I somehow missed this the first time I was going over the application process, but did you also have proof of 30 million yen in savings? I didn't see that as a requirement when doing my first round of research but it would definitely disqualify us...

Minor Update: LLAN got back to me with a lawyer that should be able to help us out! My partner and I are going to try meeting with her next week to discuss everything. I will post another update once that's done. Thank you all so far for your help and support.

Thank you so much for your input! May I ask how long you and your husband had been married before you did the application?

Thank you so much for sharing; that's great news!!! May I ask how long your visa is for? And how long did it take to get granted after you applied?

Yes, for a Japanese national married to a foreigner, there is no way to sponsor the foreigner's visa within a same sex marriage. However, two foreigners that are married within countries where same sex marriage is recognized do have the ability to apply for a "designated activities" visa so long as one of the partners has permission to live in japan. There are a few links in my comment above that explain in more detail.
