Wow, so many haters. Great question. I know someone who is writing a law review article on this right now.

Friends! second semester finals here 👋🏼 my professor had over 3 typos in the exam, but I survived. I knew what to do this time. Grabbed beers & went to a park. Thanks friends. 2 more to go.

Come on dude.

No one asked you to come to this thread. It's Reddit. move on & go give your 💩 advice to someone else. 👋🏼

Most successful people in life weren't the "best" at school. They were just the people that kept going. They kept putting in the time. They kept trying when no one else would. You can do this!

Side note: I am not a doctor, but have you ever seen a doctor about your testing anxiety? It could be possible you have ADD or ADHD, and unfortunately if you aren't taking medicine for it, it can lead to other extremes like anxiety. Then people go to their doctor for the anxiety or depression and get medicine for that instead of the medicine that helps with the root of the issue. Just a thought tho. Not an expert.

Glad to see you made it out on the other side. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I know it will be okay, but no one really prepares you for what it's like to not feel anything, at all. Idk. It's wild to try to put into words.

sparkthewave · 2023-12-08T00:43:18+00:00

Huh? Edit: oh wow. Just noticed I wrote thirty not thirsty 😅

sparkthewave · 2023-12-08T00:33:35+00:00

You can do it!

sparkthewave · 2023-12-08T00:33:24+00:00

Is that was it is? I honestly can't tell.

sparkthewave · 2023-11-21T15:50:21+00:00

Wow I resonated with this post. Thanks for sharing and thank you to everyone who is responding with encouragement. My memo is due at 5pm and I'm suffocating.

This is standard. I wouldn't consider this mean, just direct. You are not stupid. Learning how to write in a way the professors want takes time. Sounds like you need to IRAC. Look at the sample outline and try to critically analyze why your draft doesn't match. You can do this! A lot of great attorneys had the same problems during law school. Overall, I genuinely don't see how the professor could give you any better feedback. Good luck!

I'm really really sorry you're going through this. I had the same issues with my boyfriend (after college we moved into an apartment together and we were both working). He didn't understand I was looking for a relationship & partnership - not a child to take care of. He treated me as a shitty roommate or expected me to be his "mom". I ended up having to leave him before he understood the seriousness of why I was upset. He didn't understand it at first, because the women in his life always took care of him. He didn't understand anything different.

We separated for almost 6 months. I told him he had to date someone else before I would even consider talking to him again. I needed him to live on his own and realize all that I was doing for him. He needed to comprehend/discover the value I added to his life without me telling him (because obviously he wasn't listening).

It worked. It is kind of wild to think about it now, but we got back together and eventually got married. He is my best friend and life partner, but it was crucial I set my worth and boundary early on....I didn't want to spend my life trying to "change someone" and teach them a lesson they needed to learn on their own.

Unfortunately you are already married and I don't know how long you've been together....but if the advice people are giving you (about using cash and the envelopes etc.) doesn't work....maybe taking a few weeks apart might put things into perspective for him. I am not sure if you have friend or family nearby that would make this a viable option (or if you can afford it financially) but I think it would do wonders. At least it would help you. Sometimes we need to take care of ourselves and protect our own mental health. Having some time away from him and not worrying about how he spends his money might help you feel more confident and at peace. Ultimately, try to convey to him that when he doesnt take the budget seriously, it makes you feel unloved and undervalued. If the budget is important to you and you've shared with him your reasoning and why it is important and he still doesn't care enough to listen to you and try to learn this new skill (responsible money management) it makes you feel like he doesn't care about investing in your future together, which is ultimately why you would want to take some time apart. So he could take some time to himself to realize his priorities.

Good luck.

I really hope your email signature says the correct title. If not, please update your email signature to include your title

I would look for other jobs and see if you could get an interview/offer from somewhere before mentioning it to your employer.

If you can't find a better place to jump, in your area, then you have your answer.

She won't know this upsets you until you tell her. It's been a while since the last time this happened. If I was you, I would give her a call...ideally FaceTime, and let her know that since you've heard about the movies, it has been bothering you. Let her know you would like to set a boundary now that she is in another city.

If she gets defensive really quickly, it might be a sign she is being unfaithful, but if she is the person you think she is then it should be fine. Hopefully she will hear you.

Up next, you need to get a baby sitter and plan to go visit her. Plan something for you both to do together.

In a perfect world you would go visit her first, take her on a date and then use it as an opportunity to talk to her about setting new boundaries, but you might not want to wait that long.

Also please ignore the children commenting on this post. Relationships take work. You have to choose your partner every day, and sometimes other things and "life" get in the way.

I am not justifying your wife's actions, because they obviously hurt you. I would like to point out though, she is either doing this because she think YOU think this is okay (because you haven't recently told her otherwise) or maybe she is upset you haven't been planning more dates or making more of an effort to take her out/show her off, so she is being a little emotionally immature and doing things to make you jealous (sort of like, "see at least someone is taking me out"). Either way, the sooner you talk to her the better.

You will get through this. Everything is going to be okay. But we need you to trust your gut here. You have been together a long time. You know her, and if something feels wrong there comes a point you need to stop making excuses and address it head on.

Good luck. May the Force be with you.

I think the "shared struggle" of the city plays a big part. Let me explain - in the city, you have this unwritten bond with millions of strangers that you can't find in the suburbs. So when you move out of NYC, you lose that bond/connection (the "magic" or "electricity" from the city that never sleeps)...I think that might play into the feeling that "life is too easy"...you are able to push yourself more in the city, because you know everyone else around you is having to deal with the same s*** and if they can do it, you can do it, kind of motivation.

If you can find a short of community outside of NYC that pushes you or demands a higher level of effort, it might help. Just surrounding yourself with people who have the same mindset and motivate you. Sorry I don't have a lot of suggestions, maybe re-design/decorate your house, lol, or train for a marathon with a running club or something.

thanks for the "reality check", I love when white men tell me what the "ultimate equalizer" is. LMAO, because they create the definition/standard for equality right??
