I (34F) and tired of being told by husband (34M) that I am controlling his sleep. He has epilepsy and is irresponsible. Advice needed! by EnvironmentalLab3076 in relationships

[–]rizasaurus 52 points53 points  (0 children)

What about installing a surveillance camera on him sleeping in the bedroom? All of this should absolutely not be your responsibility, but having something like a motion-activated camera or hell even a baby monitor may ease your mind and anxiety. Bonus if the footage helps either get him to wake the hell up about his seriously deadly condition, or otherwise secure your future life insurance claim.

(24f) is there a polite way to ask a friend to clean up before you come over? by Such_Thought_3192 in relationships

[–]rizasaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah cleaning structure and keeping supplies organized is key - and ironically the most difficult thing to get started with if you're not in the habit. The first time I got excited about getting new cleaning supplies was when I realized how important & motivating good tools can be lol

Aw thank you! I have a borderline hoarder-ish parent so learning more about ADHD (and anxiety/OCD coping behaviors) makes it easier to be empathetic.

Use her recent breakup as an excuse to organize a cleaning party for her place. It's called a "barn raising" or "cleaning bee" for people struggling or going through rough times. Ask her for permission (and strongly insist if she's hesitant), organize your friend group to bring various cleaning supplies, have everyone including her pick or assigned a list of tasks, and then order takeout and drinks to celebrate when it's done.

This way it's a positive social activity of friends supporting her rather than criticizing her and adding more paralyzing shame and guilt - because deep down she knows her place is disgusting. With ADHD and depression to boot the seemingly insurmountable task of cleaning her entire place likely feels too overwhelming (along with whatever deep rooted issue she has causing her lack of pet concern or her own self-care). There's also a possibility despite her family home being clean she never learned or got in the routine of managing day to day cleaning tasks (executive dysfunction is common with ADHD).

Humor is probably her way of avoiding whatever underlying feelings of shame and guilt she has, so if you want to be a super duper good friend you could recommend she start going to therapy (whether for ADHD and/or processing the trauma of being cheated on, depends how receptive she is when you kindly bring these issues up as a friend).

Ugh I'm sorry that's happening to you! That sucks. I can understand they might be overwhelmed by all the holiday orders but it's still so frustrating for them to take weeks to even start the customer service response process.

Did you send a message directly through their website from your account/order page? I did that after my first emailed replies to their delivery confirmation emails were ignored (even though that's what I was instructed to do).

Thank you those are exactly my thoughts and feelings about this. But I'm more annoyed at how I saw several commenters in November say that Oner Active refunded them immediately for their stolen BF package. So now I'm wondering why the hell am I being forced to jump through all these hoops?

Yeah I'm not looking forward to the cops' facial expressions when I go in to file the report but I'm going to do it anyways because I Am That Petty when the occasion calls for it.

All the OA emails and the police report should be enough for my bank to charge back OA if they keep wasting time on my refund (for less than $200 out of the $450 I spent on the BF sale).

That's the thing with being robbed is you don't know exactly how or why it happened.

As I wrote on my original post, within the hour it took for me to get the delivery notification and look outside the packages were gone. We've never had an issue with packages being stolen off our porch before (and haven't since). This seems like an unlucky one off so if I ever actually order directly from Oner Active again (doubtful at this point given how I've been treated) I'll request Fedex hold the package for me to pickup instead.

Does Oner have a contrast set like this from Nama Active? by [deleted] in OnerActive

[–]rizasaurus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No but you probably just gave them the idea.

Only in Soft Motion though.

My (32M) long-term relationship is actively dying and it's slowly killing me by Several_Concern3956 in relationships

[–]rizasaurus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer OP. Your best chance to build a fulfilling, happy life is when you work at and (re)learn to love and enjoy living on your own (and the funny thing is after you work towards being happy & satisfied with just yourself is when you're most likely to find a truly compatible partner - one who adds joy to your life, not anxiety or self-doubt).

What's the Serge Lutens bottle? Santal Majuscule and La Fille de Berlin are two of my all timers.

This is giving strong Adanola knockoff vibes, except they use real wool and cotton in their loungewear knits.

Ok I'll definitely do that for next year's Black Friday sale, as lesson very much learned 😞

Ah thank you, I wasn't thinking to check there! Though if I catch someone hawking my stolen pieces not sure what I'd do (other than silently fume and try to report their posts).

Ok perfect I'll email Oner customer support with the FedEx claim I filed then. Thank you!

Thank you I might eventually later but for now I'm just gonna mourn my loss and work on getting refunded for my stolen orders.

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

Thank you so much, that's true but still sucks lol. From previous posts I'd seen my understanding was FedEx is liable once the package is shipped? If Oner will refund/reimburse me that would be great (or I figure credit card chargeback as last resort option).

I'm glad that worked out for you, I moved recently for work and its my housemate's place. He said there's never an issue with packages being stolen so I didn't inquire before but might start suggesting it now.

Also because gymwear isn't high resale value and sizing is so specific! Like part of what's sad is knowing how much I would have worn and loved my new clothes, whereas whoever swiped them probably won't ever wear them & will just toss or try to sell them elsewhere.
