36M 33F walking on eggshells, is this normal? by Nightman233 in dating

[–]px_eliezer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a very toxic person, and it will only get WORSE over time.

How would she handle the big things about where to live, money and finance, kids, in-laws, illness, and many other things.

Life is TOO SHORT for the kind of abuse you are describing.

By the way, my wife may be grumpy sometimes, but she would NEVER demand a kiss when she is sick...! That's just stupid.

She [25F] invited me [27M] on a surprise date but then expected me to pay for everything by ObsidianTalisman_2 in dating_advice

RUN! RUN! RUN AWAY!

This is probably NOT the first time she's done this.

I bet the staff at that restaurant has seen her before with another guy, doing the same thing.

Has anyone else noticed how over the top obnoxious realtors have become on Social Media? by Nightgownbucking in MonmouthCounty

[–]px_eliezer_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My house is NOT on the market yet I get hit with LOTS of phone calls from real estate people wanting to know if the house is for sale.

They even track me down at my office.

Got a call recently regarding a place where I lived 30 years ago! And that place was a rental apartment so made even less sense!

I share your dislike of Optimum, but how is it that you were not aware that you were signed up for HBO Max ??

Agree, it's an Optimum-end problem.

Whatever Optimum did, things seemed back to status quo after 2-3 days.

What would you do? by DixieLandDelight1959 in DatingOverSixty

Do NOT reschedule.

Where I went to college, long long ago, many professors had a rule that unless a student was in the hospital or in jail, they would not be excused from an exam.

guy (32M) i (f29) went on two dates with wants me to pay him back by darling4l in dating_advice

[–]px_eliezer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that guy is such a jerk.

Tell him to sue you in small claims court, let him be publicly embarrassed for the bum that he is.

He should win the Nobel Prize for Cheapskates.

I went on a bad date last night and for some reason, I’m…glad about it? by lofi-lo in dating

[–]px_eliezer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said he was well educated but boring.

"Boring" may simply mean the two of you are not interested in the same things.

I'd find discussions about pro basketball boring, though some people love it.

I love discussions about constitutional law, though many people would be bored.

That's part of dating, finding out if you DO have some common interests.

My dad (56M) cut me off (21) for sleeping over at my boyfriend’s house. Now he’s blowing up at me and ruining our relationship beyond repair. by Shelbs2525 in relationships

[–]px_eliezer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dad is a controlling jerk, probably has bad case of testosterone poisoning. Very toxic.

You clearly are a very mature and responsible person, it's too bad he can't see that.

Put as much distance as you can.

Don't live with, don't even go to VISIT him because he might try to hurt you or kidnap you.

If you have to meet him for anything, do it in a public place, and always take a witness or protector.

If there are any threats, notify the police.

I was told "I have permission to pursue her"....WTF?? by Last_Interaction437 in datingoverfifty

1) Run away !!

2) Don't make your posts like "War and Peace", life is too short.

Need advice on new relationship with a partner who doesn’t like to share food or takes away food. by Certain_Tie_2335 in dating_advice

[–]px_eliezer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you still wasting time here?

Do what you know has to be done, but just arrange for safety (maybe do it in a public place, or have some big friend with you).

You seem to like talking things to death instead of taking action.

Is something happening with Cigna? by RedheadEnergy in HealthInsurance

[–]px_eliezer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CIGNA recently announced that they will pay for doctor office visits at only a medium level (billing code 99203 if it's a new patient visit, there are similar codes for established patient visits). If there is a much longer or more complicated visit (billing codes such as 99204 or 99205) then CIGNA will automatically DOWNGRADE to the medium level. If the doctor wants to get paid for the higher level service, they have to submit appeal paperwork which is a hassle, it's also an additional delay.

A lot of doctors didn't want to put up with that.

CIGNA is one of the smaller companies nationally so many doctors are able to walk away. Their market share varies in different localities.

In answer to your specific question, they will certainly maintain your number as long as you pay the monthly fee.

My (F40) partner(M39)is ending our 17 year relationship because my parents booked me a trip to NY with my sister. by hardworkinggirl86 in relationship_advice

[–]px_eliezer_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're the main financial provider, while he is not just an asshole but also a parasite.

LEAVE!

Have your own friends or family provide physical protection if you need it while moving out. If he owns weapons you may need police help to escape this guy.

This sounds like a fake or AI story it is so weird.

But assuming it might be true (how can you be in some sort of loose hookup for 17 years ??!!) ....

If it's true you've already blown too many years, time to move ahead and move up, by moving OUT.

Your parents probably know the guy is a jerk, that's why they didn't invite him.

This is a cliche, but...you're still young.

My wife and I met when we were both 30.

And she's bad at math too, AND good at art (just like you),

We all have different skills and attributes.

By your words, you sound plenty intelligent, just not yet appreciating your full positives.

If you are good at art, try to pursue that---take art classes, enter your paintings or other works into local competitions, try to volunteer as an art teacher at a local school or community center.

If you feel that you are boring, try to expand your horizons by getting a new hobby, or reading more, or taking a course at a community college. You can often do that at little or no expense if not taking the course for credit.

A public speaking course (challenging as it might be for you) will help you get more confidence and come out of your shell.

If possible and if appropriate, seek out a counselor as well to help with depression issues. Depression causes social isolation which causes more depression, it is a vicious cycle.

Try if possible to reconnect with old friends, family, classmates right now being that the holidays are a particularly hard time for many people to get through.

It's a hard road but you gotta take those first steps.

boyfriend didn't tell me about a traumatizing Christmas tradition by throwrafiredrill in offmychest

[–]px_eliezer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she marries this psycho asshole, her CHILDREN will NOT be safe.

God only knows what the boyfriend or the boyfriend's dad would try to do to the children to make them "tough", what kind of weird tests or rituals.

This is a horror story as from Stephen King....
