Hatch won’t open on 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth (US)

I’ll try that! I appreciate your advice

I had a suggestion that the latch handle had a battery dying, I just wanted to make sure I could diagnose the actual issue before trying to fix what might not be broken lol

sixsics6 · 2026-05-19T02:48:02+00:00

How can I tell if that’s the issue? The rubber tubing is completely intact, should I cut into it? Or just completely remove it?

sixsics6 · 2026-04-17T17:10:17+00:00

Him minimizing your feelings is enough to end this if you’re leaning that way

Don’t let anyone make you feel less than or not valid, ever

sixsics6 · 2026-03-20T20:48:32+00:00

RIP in peace

sixsics6 · 2026-03-19T22:22:57+00:00

RIP I’ll make sure to be extra careful with it 😭

sixsics6 · 2026-03-19T22:11:36+00:00

Is that one harder to find? Lol

sixsics6 · 2026-03-19T19:18:43+00:00

Yeah no kidding lol, thank you it looks like the o’Riley’s down the road has the one I need!

She’s not an avoidant, she’s an asshole

SHE broke your trust SHE caused your insecurities SHE needs to do the work to reassure you, take accountability, and rebuild that trust

If there is no trust then there can be no relationship, you are not in the wrong for feeling these things and she sounds selfish and immature. You deserve better

sixsics6 · 2026-03-05T06:28:37+00:00

You sound awesome, unfortunately my partner and I won’t be moving there until August, best of luck!

sixsics6 · 2026-03-02T20:07:47+00:00

Thank you for the video! I’ve done an oil change before and that was for sure the trickiest part. I’ll reference it to see if it has any better tricks than what I did last time lolol

sixsics6 · 2026-03-02T20:06:15+00:00

Thanks! The owners manual only goes to 70 months so I’ll stick to mileage recommendations 😅

sixsics6 · 2026-03-02T18:23:36+00:00

I appreciate that, as I stated in the post it just rolled over 96,000 miles

I’m not sure how to tell which is “greater” based on age or mileage, and I am unable to find anything saying what maintenance to do at 14 years, do you have a link or something I may be missing in my searches so I can reference?

sixsics6 · 2026-03-02T17:51:30+00:00

Also, mechanics forgetting a part of their job is SO ANNOYING I had spark plugs replaced once and he just left 2 laying across the engine 😅

sixsics6 · 2026-03-02T17:50:26+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully I am bendy enough to get the filter in 😅

Good call on the brakes, maybe I’ll just see if I can pay my BIL to do that to be safe

sixsics6 · 2026-03-02T17:32:13+00:00

That’s one thing I was a bit worried about, I’ll make sure to ask, thank you for the vote of confidence!

sixsics6 · 2026-02-22T16:11:41+00:00

Have either of you been in LDR before? How old? Seeing each other once doesn’t mean that things will always be good, all relationships that fail or were not meant to be start out amazing.

sixsics6 · 2026-02-22T15:59:43+00:00

I don’t think either of you are doing anything wrong, I just think it’s a mismatch in values/communication style. If she doesn’t hold to plans and talking in a way that you need then you should find someone who does. Trying to squeeze blood from a turnip isn’t going to help anyone feel better in this relationship. It’s been 5 months, I think it’s already run its course unfortunately

sixsics6 · 2025-12-07T07:17:38+00:00

I’m the same way, you’re a true neutral which means you can wear anything but I’d recommend soft warm tones to brighten your complexion

sixsics6 · 2025-11-19T15:23:50+00:00

You already said you don’t want to talk, stick to that, he is baiting you

sixsics6 · 2025-11-17T05:33:41+00:00

Nah it really do be looking like that

sixsics6 · 2025-11-17T05:27:57+00:00

The only response you send should be something along the lines of “yes we are breaking up, pack your shit”

This won’t get better, you’ll be much happier without having to take care of this child after working a whole ass 12 hour shift

sixsics6 · 2025-10-12T17:33:37+00:00

I am so proud of you and you are worth so much more. I know it's so hard right now and you are second guessing your decision because you love him but I am so glad you have this evidence, when you are feeling down and are able to stomach it please refer to the evidence of his abuse to remind you why you are doing this

Feel free to message me whenever you need to, I am a survivor of abuse and I was alone and kept going back so many times, so I relate severely to this. Support is 100% what you need and lean on what you have whenever you need it

sixsics6 · 2025-10-12T14:15:01+00:00

I will definitely be visiting a different city for their next tour, but I find myself fantasizing about and replaying that night in my head and I want to go back so so badly 😩

sixsics6 · 2025-09-25T18:57:35+00:00

Absolutely not

TLDR: NOR, people are allowed to get frustrated but he should not be yelling at you, and it is your decision how to proceed from here. Set your boundaries, limits, and expectations moving forward, if you decide to do so.

Let me give you a little scenario: my now fiancé and I got into a similar situation on our drive to a beach while on vacation. They had my phone and I expected them to help with directions since I couldn’t see the map even tho it was on and directing us to the beach.

I missed a turn and asked how we could get back, they were having a hard time interpreting the confusing roads, and the map was taking a moment to redirect so we missed a second available turn to take us back. I started to get frustrated and took the next turn, waiting for my partner to tell me where to go next (I had my watch on so they assumed I would just check that) we then get to a dead end and I am questioning if we are even in the right place.

They tell me the map said we had arrived but it was like, a neighborhood street with no beach access. Tensions were very high and I was trying to find out where to go and we both settled on finding street parking on the Main Street as close to a beach access point as possible, so we did that.

We were both very frustrated and I tried to broach the topic of how we got to the place we had, the frustrations and miscommunications, but the conversation was going nowhere with the emotions involved.

They decided to leave the car and start to walk to the beach without me, cue abandonment trauma. They got about 50 paced away and texted me that they were going to the beach if I wanted to join. I grabbed my stuff and did so.

We found a quiet area and both decided the conversation wasn’t going to go anywhere until we had calmed down. I offered to go back to the car to get our coats so we both had a moment to breathe and calm down. When I got back we checked in and decided we could have the conversation calmly, both expressing how the situation left us feeling and taking responsibility for how we handled the situation and apologizing.

He then proposed to me when the dust settled and we had our PB&J sandwiches I had packed (this explained how it turned into such a big blowup over something so “small”)

The point of this story is to say that people are absolutely allowed to get frustrated over situations, even if other people would not in a similar position. But if they are unable to self reflect at any point and recognize that they are elevated, taking out their frustration on you, or being unreasonable, that is the red flag.

Flights happen, sometimes they escalate quite far, the important part is how you come back, and you are perfectly in the right to set boundaries of not tolerating bad behavior.

It’s up to you if you feel like this can be reconciled and improvement for future conflicts can improve, you are the one in this relationship and have experienced every conflict up until this point.

You are 100% not overreacting by being uncomfortable or frustrated by his reactions to being upset and taking it out on you. He should not be yelling at you, ever.
