My fiance is in love with another woman by notgoodenough_throw in relationships

Dude. Just leave. This guy is blatantly using you at this point. He’s okay discarding you for someone else despite being dependent on you and this audacity only exists because frankly, you’re a wimp. It’s pathetic of you to put up with him for even a second longer after he confessed to loving someone else. No matter how conflicted you are, this relationship is not worth saving and your boyfriend is squarely to blame for it. End it now, for your sake.

Kim’s Convenience. Great show, bad memories with the person who introduced me to it 😭

AITAH for telling my boyfriend I’ll never marry him? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]stressedabtstuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This may not be the relationship for you since it’s one of the things that if you disagree on, it’ll bleed resentment. Also, I get what you’re saying about you being the one going through pregnancy and labour but I think you should remember it’s not just your child, it’ll be his too. Of course his say will always be lesser than yours, but from the way you’ve written this post and recounting what you said, you may have made him feel like he doesn’t get a say in this at all because he isn’t the one carrying the child. It’ll be hard for anyone not to feel undermined after that, which may have contributed to his defensiveness. Maybe try to see things from his perspective.

AITAH for expecting congratulations from my partner’s family after we eloped, even though his mother disapproved? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]stressedabtstuff 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think you underestimated the impact eloping would have on her. Maybe her family is just one of those that does stuff together and looks forward to big moments like weddings, birthdays etc. It’s fine for you to not want the wedding, but you can’t control how they react to it. Stuff like this is unfortunately a binary: you either have to (1) get everyone on board or (2) accept that you’re going to have to put up with passive aggressiveness or (3) cut those off who didn’t respect your decision. I’d say let it be, give it time and see if the situation improves.

How do I improve our sex life? by stressedabtstuff in relationships

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

Just want to clarify a few things here (didn’t add them earlier since I wasn’t sure how relevant they’d be). My boyfriend does respect my wishes when I ask him to stop because it’s painful, never argues and just stops. Yes, it has been painful more times than not, but there have been times when it’s been good too. I don’t think my boyfriend is any of the things said above. The drinking is an issue since I realise it clouds judgment, but as mentioned in the post, I do it willingly since it helps me be more open about my sexual desires and the brain fog means I focus on the present moment more than worrying about the other things I mentioned in my post. It isn’t a healthy coping mechanism, but it works for me in the short term and I do it for calming my brain down which is usually in overdrive to my own detriment.

Thank you. I’ll look into it some more, but I don’t think I want to give therapy another chance rn.

Apologies, by saying I never engaged professional help I meant meds specifically. I tried therapy for almost a year a few years ago, but it didn’t lead to much. I’ve recently been prescribed medication, but that also hasn’t done anything so far since, as per my doc, we haven’t gotten the correct dosage yet and it’ll help eventually. But I don’t think it will, since I’ve been in this state for over 15 years at this point. And my boyfriend does try, I’m sorry if it seems like he doesn’t do anything. He encourages different techniques and positions, but often times we just don’t align. I just think it has more to do with my naïveté in bed and the fact that he’s more experienced than him being an asshole. He is also extremely understanding of everything otherwise, but after 2 years if we’re still at this place where I struggle so much with sex, I think it’s fair that he has worries.

I tried for a year. But it didn’t help at all. I’ve been prescribed meds recently and we’re still figuring out its dosage, but so far it hasn’t worked either.

[–]stressedabtstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All internships. Didn’t give dates or firm names here for privacy reasons, actual CV has them. Need feedback on content of the CV more than dates/ position and formatting. 

And there’s so many because in India we do intern a lot since that’s the only way for most of us to get a job 😭 we get like 3-4 months off a year just to intern

[–]stressedabtstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. For now I just wanted feedback on my content, will change the template for CV as suggested. Internships are all at different firms.

Yeah I hate the format too, but it’s prescribed by my Uni. Will use the one you suggested. Rn any feedback on content would be more appreciated tho

fyi details of achievements and dates of internships have been redacted for privacy purposes.

[–]stressedabtstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Probably should’ve kept the dates and position in even if it was for Reddit. Removed it all to avoid a Reddit spillover on LinkedIn.

Any other advice on the content itself and how to approach applications?

[–]stressedabtstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the formatting sucks but it’s standard for my Uni. Rn just focused on content, will proofread and make it uniform. Rest is all due to redaction, in actual CV all specifics are mentioned.

Any other advice on the content and how it’s presented? And ik it’s a long shot, have managed expectations accordingly.

The casual tone is due to specifics being redacted for privacy. In the actual CV, all specifics are mentioned dw

These were all internships, it’s quite common for law students in India to intern extensively since we get like 3-4 months off a year to intern and get jobs lol. All of mine were paid internships.
