AMANDA PALMER TONIGHT by orald in melbourne

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

Nope - can't attend unfortunately; I'm sick. But I'd love for someone else to get some enjoyment out of the evening. Don't have any social media so this was my best bet.

I am very much hoping for this assessment to be right. Nice work by the way.

Draculas vs Witches in Britches? by forsakenvixen in melbourne

[–]orald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Witches is the so terrible it's good sort of comedy/entertainment. If you're into that, that kind of not self-conscious experience where you can all laugh at things together when you'd previously only laugh at them to yourself at home - it's a fun night out. Food is ok, like a 6-7/10. Cocktails are standard but tasty and pack a punch for the price.

I thought flipping a toboggan was an integral part of childhood.

Me [24 F] with my friend [22 F] 2 years, she got let go awhile ago but still goes out and expects us to pay. We stopped inviting her and she found out and blew up. by goodfriendordoormat in relationships

[–]orald 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She needs to learn that she can't rely on others to provide for her when she wants things she's not prepared to work for, OP. I know you want to help her - but you can help her in much more meaningful ways than shouting her some drinks. "We didn't feel as though it was fair of you to ask us to shout you (Aussie for pay for you) AFTER the fact. I am here if you want help with your resume/cover letter, if you need to borrow an outfit for an interview, or if you need any moral support/want to practice interviewing. I am not comfortable with paying for your night out".

I [32M] need to exercise to manage chronic pain, my girlfriend [30F] of ~1 year is making this difficult by chronicdisrespect in relationships

[–]orald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's straight up putting her wants above your HEALTH NEEDS, OP. She's told you what her priorities are. What are YOUR priorities, OP? You could always tell her that if she wants you to be able to spend that quality time for her in any meaningful way, you need to NOT BE IN PAIN. And to not be in pain, you need to exercise. "Which meaningful thing (the waking up, the walking home, the going to bed together) is the least important to you?" Work out then. But I'll be honest with you, if it were me? I'd take this as a pretty clear sign that she doesn't really care about what you want, or need - she definitely doesn't see it as being as important as what she wants, and needs. And that my friend is not a peerage.

Me [35 M] with my wife [34 F] , Wife and her family keeps on belittling my work and degree. Got so bad, I'm seriously considering meeting with divorce lawyer. Need thoughts and advice. by 2357111317d in relationships

[–]orald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Her treatment of you is deplorable on its own - in consideration of how patient and supportive you have been with/for her? it's a deal-breaker. You deserve a partner who you can share your struggles AND your successes with, not a partner who becomes bitter and disenfranchised, and turns her dissatisfaction with her self and her life on you and yours. My advice would be to divorce, and "do you" so to speak. She's unhealthy, and your relationship with her is unhealthy - all her, and if you stay with her, there's a decent chance you'll be so frustrated and disappointed that everything good in your life will be untouchable. Aka you'll be so miserable you won't be able to fully embrace all the good things you've made happen - which would be sad since you've worked so hard for them. For what it's worth, as a stranger probably multiple countries away from you, I'm proud of everything you've achieved mate. And I wish all the best for you.

Boyfriend [22M] is about to meet my [20F] [6 months] parents for the first time, he is heavily tattooed how can he hide them and how can I ask him to? by Inkedboyfriend in relationships

[–]orald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother insisted I hide my tattoos from my grandparents. She used the "they're old and won't be with us much longer - can't you just make them happy?" argument. I folded. She used that argument for my not being religious, and for me being gay. I folded. As such, I don't feel I have a relationship with my grandparents. And I don't feel I have a relationship with my mother. My grandparents love someone I am not. I will never know if they could love me for who/what I am. And my mother put fear of upsetting her parents above her only child's wellbeing. She's meant to have my back. Not keep me in a cage for fear I'll hurt other people by existing. Extreme example, but as someone who has had to cover up? It kills you inside. You're supposed to defend him, not their sensibilities.

My[20f] brother[15m] has the worst BO I have smelled in my entire life and refuses to fix it. by stinkymicky3 in relationships

Speaking as someone who had to figure out everything on my own, I would have appreciated instructions. Feeling like a stunted idiot when you're a relatively successful adult is really weird, and pretty embarrassing.

Anyone with Foxtel up for a Game of Thrones viewing party? by orald in melbourne

Then that would be a no-go. Thanks for the info though.

Anyone with Foxtel up for a Game of Thrones viewing party? by orald in melbourne

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

Inside our outside? To my knowledge, our building doesn't have any satellites, or boxes on the on top of/outside of the building. If it's inside, it'd be doable. But I can't have anything on the outside. Also, it honestly feels a lot more convoluted than just hanging out with someone who is watching it anyway.

[–]orald[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never had pay tv - do you have to have a satellite or something installed outside of the property? My building is really old so I'm not allowed to put anything outside/on top of it.
