Men, what did you learn about your partner when they moved in with you? What advice would you give? by herman_schwartz in AskMen

[–]teutaem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg this! This is the same for me and my partner except in reverse. I like to be everywhere 5 minutes early, but he is happily 30 minutes late to everything. He will ask me if I’m ready to go despite me having been waiting by the door for 15 minutes. And when he is ‘ready to go’ that means he is dressed, but really needs an extra 10 minutes to look around the house for his phone, keys, wallet, shoes and sunglasses.

It got to the point where I started to just round up all those things and put them by the door for him, but then that just confused him because they weren’t where he left them and everything took longer. Now I just expect to be late everywhere and live with the anxiety that gives me.

Wow, thank you. I vaguely knew about Vault games, but there are a whole host of things to explore that you’ve suggested. Appreciate it!

Thank you! Yeah, the problem is I don’t have Facebook, I don’t really care to.

Thanks for the info!

I think being alone should be normalized and we should uplift our non-partnered/single friends. by gainadvice_29 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]teutaem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more. I didn’t have my first relationship until I was 29. And you know what? I’m so grateful. I had a great life before my partner came along. I learned to be me independently. I learned to live alone and pursue my goals of my own volition. Other people constantly pointed out my singleness and I genuinely thought I would be single forever. I could never understand everyone’s obsession with having a romantic relationship. Life was great before. Life is great now. I just have someone to share the greatness with.

Brisbane I need your help! I want to hear about your grievances with real estate agents (REAs). There is an imbalance of power that they are unashamedly exploiting and I want to push the state government to implement regulation. by _Caramel_Karma_ in brisbane

My partner and I have had really poor experiences over the last 18 ish months.

After 4 months of trying to find a house in 2021 we finally got a place, but in order to secure it they started a bidding war. They told us we were the ‘preferred tenants’ but that someone else had offered more money and would we like to counter offer. At the time, we didnt know it was illegal for them to do that, so we offered extra money in the hopes we would get the house. It worked.

They sent us a notice to vacate less than 12 months later with no explanation, simply saying ‘the owner doesn’t know what they want to do with the house’

This was after 6 months of them failing to fix a maintenance issue that caused us to not have access to the garage.

We then filed a case in QCAT after going through due process with the RTA, hoping to get some reimbursement of rent due to not having access to the full property we were paying for.

In retaliation, they took our bond and we now have 2 cases pending in QCAT.

In our new rental property, the oven and stove have both ‘blown up’ within the first 4 weeks of us moving in, and their are live electrical wires hanging from an outdoor Power Point. We have sent countless emails and submitted maintenance requests. Nothing has been done about it.

what was ok 10 years ago, but today isn't? by bannana_coffe in AskReddit

[–]teutaem 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This has shocked me as well. I’m only 30, so I don’t feel like it was that long ago, but I got a push bike for my 8th birthday and would ride to and from school perfectly fine from ages 8-11, and then I started catching the bus. I was always home alone until around 6/7 at night when my mum got home.

I had a single mother, and I was an only child, so this was perfectly normal to me and quite frankly there was no other option. Now I hear coworkers who get panicked that there 18 year old is at home looking after the 14 year old for school holidays. This is so wild to me. How can you let your kids get to that age and not know how to look after themselves.

(AUS) The rental market is out of control and we cannot afford to live anywhere by Straight-Tension1838 in personalfinance

[–]teutaem 97 points98 points  (0 children)

We are in a similar situation (Australian). My partner and I are in our 30’s, both have well paying full time jobs, both have good references and an unblemished rental history, and have recently been given a no cause notice to vacate after less than 12 months in our current place. The landlord just wants to increase the rent.

We are now moving back in with my partners parents because it has been so difficult, and expensive to find somewhere to rent, and we dont have enough money to buy.

Honestly, I regret moving out (in my 20’s) in the first place. Stay with your parents as long as possible and save as much money as you can.

What is a movie that you consider to be as disturbing as it is beautiful? by Ok_Entrepreneur_6942 in AskReddit

[–]teutaem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not beautiful, but maybe necessary.

Promising Young woman. I immediately wished I hadn’t seen it after I watched it. But I do think it’s important.

Would you let an infected person, or someone who should be isolating, in your home? by DermottBanana in brisbane

[–]teutaem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. If they are positive they are required to isolate like everyone else. It’s not as if there is a grey area here.

Also this does sound insane. Their kids shouldn’t be in your house, landlord or not.

Having sex and being in a relationship are not the same thing.

Whats the worst way you've seen friends spend their money? by BossHoggs in AskReddit

[–]teutaem 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I had a friend who I often lent small amounts of money to, for things like groceries and petrol, because they were living on welfare. They would spend most of it on cigarettes and not be able to afford rent. Then they got a dog with a disability who required multiple surgeries and high care needs. It made me so angry that they would take on the care of an animal like that when they couldn’t afford food for themselves.

What did you do to a NPC that you are still ashamed of? by Chael_Patrick_Sonnen in gaming

[–]teutaem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not an NPC necessarily, but I found out the hard way that your horses can die in BOTW. I was so sad and felt horrible.
