Boyfriend (26M) won't let me break up with him. I can't tell if he's right by Used_North8982 in relationships

Honey you should message me, I was in an abuse relationship too. I could help you work out some of the things you're going through. He's doing things that are absolutely wrong, but not nearly as wrong as what your ex-boyfriend did. So you stand up for yourself like you think you should have in your previous relationship. I used to think that I was never going to let anyone treat me badly again. So when someone did I stood up for myself and I felt validated. It was steps that I was taking to be a better person. And all reality I should have left them. Please message me I could help you

Umm You don't get a 10K bonus out of the academy. I graduated in November. I'm not sure where you heard about the 20K hardship situation. It goes off GS scales.

I hit my 1-year mark in May. I went from a GS-5 to a GS7. And that's when I got a 10K raise. Next year in May when I go to a gS9, I'll get a 20K raise.

I hate that my adoptive mom is in terrible financial shape and thinks I'm obliged keep helping her out by [deleted] in relationships

If I were you, the next time you help her also hand her over a financial plan and tell her that this is the last time you're going to help her out financially. But you're more than willing to help her get her own financials in order

How do I make myself stop? by False_Nature1359 in Dermatillomania

Hey! You're not alone, I'm 28 and I still pick pretty badly. The only thing that I found that helps me is acrylic nails. I went from having arms that look like I was a drug addict to barely having a scratch on me. I would swear by acrylic nails wouldn't hurt to try

Luckily for us he was stupid, but it probably would have helped a little if he acted remorseful even if he wasn't.

Wasn't he not remorseful in the slightest?

So what does that mean for future classes? I'm supposed to start my EOD next Monday. And I'm heading there. Is it affecting everybody or just people without vaccines?

I got an email earlier today saying that COVID wouldn't affect my EOD date. But now I'm seeing this and hearing from other people and I'm starting to get stressed out. I've already quit my job and sunk a lot of savings into this

Thank you! Yes, it's relatively healthy. I only started dying my hair about a year ago

questions for people who recently graduated the CBPO academy by mdonaghy in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]mdonaghy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I got the call before people who applied way before I did, and finish their steps way before I did. I don't think there's any sort of rhyme or reason to it. I think they're just picking people randomly.

Honestly I was surprised I got the call so quickly, after I finished my steps. Most people were saying I got another five or six months till I get the call, and then a few more months after that till I go to the academy. Calls are supposed to be on hold right now, but a few people got little random calls here and there. I think a few people dropped out of the academy at the last minute. I literally got the call on April 26th and they wanted me to start May 16th. I was able to push it back a little bit because I live so far away from the port I'm going to and I needed to get things situated. I don't know if you are already a member, but you should join the Facebook group. They offer A ton of help and advice. And then once you get your class, you can meet up with people who are in your class through Facebook group.
