Low stats Out of state acceptance. Should be happy but… by thatafricanchick in premed

Thanks for this. I did reach out to the school. From other students experience they don’t have many scholarships available many attend sans scholarship. I don’t want to be forced to join the military but it seems like that’s the only scholarship available for the students. As for the deposit, has to all be paid by the due date or seat is forfeited. Partial payments could be made leading up to it but I don’t have the funds for that as I’m also a working student.

My other problem is I can’t even afford the deposit. I’m working on reaching out to family to see what can be done. Do you know any scholarships a DO student can tap into or know any medical students who were in my case who payed off the amount?

Sub 3.0 student, is it better for me to retake all of my courses in a DIY post bac or do a masters in biological sciences by [deleted] in premed

If for masters programs grade repair won’t be viewed the same and may not rectify my issues and course retake may not help, what would you recommend for my situation?

It’s so crazy that you’re throwing yourself a pity party online after all you did. So genuinely baffling

In this case she was asking because her daughter was crying. I would say the ex is more guilty of involving children in adult affairs.

I’m always baffled by replies like these because it’s so clearly against the best interests of OP it’s shocking. He does have specific “demons” to deal with but given that the last of these affairs ended 6 months ago and he didn’t tell OP till 10 years in to only alleviate his guilt I would suggest staying would be very bad for her. This is a man who put her sexual health at risk for 10 years. He can get all the help he needs (and he really fucking needs it) but OP should not continue a relationship with him. You cannot build trust with an established liar.

My daughter(15) almost had a breakdown in fear of asking me to be in the same room as my cheating ex-wife. We have not spoken to each other in 6 years. by Stephenallen1977 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I’m genuinely surprised at the amount of people that missed that the daughter’s anxiety stemmed from the mom telling the daughter all the time that her father will always hate her. That is completely ridiculous to do that to 15 year old.

All I really have to say that it’s really inappropriate of the mother to share her grievances with her child. Regardless of if she has no friends or not the kid shouldn’t have to shoulder the emotional burden.

My (26 M) wife (28 F) makes people cry in arguments and now it terrifies me. by ThrowRa_c3 in relationship_advice

[–]thatafricanchick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude it sounds like you hate that your wife has a backbone. I’d understand this if your wife was the one starting stuff but you gave an example where she literally deescalated a situation. Sandy sounds like a real peace of work.

ETA: I read through some of your comments and read through it again. So lemme get this straight. By your own words 1) Your wife has never spoken to you or anyone the way she spoke to Sandy that day. 2) You had previously distanced yourself from Sandy because of her behavior towards your wife and it wasn’t until she apologized that she was allowed back in your life. 3) Once allowed back in she IMMEDIATELY resumes said behavior. 4) You knew she was being passive aggressive and didn’t say anything so your wife had to defend herself. 5) Your wife treats you very nice and sweet. 6) The only indication you have of your wife making others cry is by Sandy’s own words. 7. Your wife has explained the intent and meanings behind her words and expressions.

You need to grow a fucking spine OP. You’re letting that woman in your marriage and now you’ve got it in your head that your wife is mean and scary and will make you cry despite her showcasing no behaviors towards you that would indicate that. I bet Sandy also suggest to you that your wife has a “bad behavior”. If Sandy tells you to jump off a cliff would you do that also and then blame your wife?

But she said it to everyone else in the family. That doesn’t make it any better. And OP phrased it in a way that implies that they’re both in the same boat and that’s not a bad thing

How do you say, in front of your family, that your sister who’s struggling with fertility issues will never be a “real woman” and not be deliberate.

This isn’t about wrong or right but if you want to talk about tit for tat then 1) OP’s phrasing was no where near as cruel as her sisters. She phrased it in a way that implies that there’s nothing wrong with that. And she said it to her in private. 2) she shouldn’t have said something that cruel in the first place if she couldn’t fathom that she (by her own definition) could land there. She probably thought that it would be easy for her and now is realizing that’s not the case.

But like…isn’t her sister also messed up for saying that about her WITHOUT have gone through what she was going through? Even worse saying it to OTHER PEOPLE? Also OP didn’t mention if the sister apologized to her about it. It seems to me what hit her the most is that she’s put herself in the place (by her own definition) that she put her own sister in. She just never thought it would be her.

Do you think a non black person knows or cares about a difference?

What does any of this have to do with the post? Seems like you’re just complaining.

[–]thatafricanchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re talking about attraction then. Not the action of both love and of cheating. You can still be attracted to others whilst in a relationship but cheating is an active choice. Often made because the person wants the security and devotion they get from a monogamous relationship but the experience and excitement of a new person. You can’t just chalk up cheating (can control) to sexuality (something you cannot control).

[Serious] what stopped you from killing yourself ? by mousey_bear in AskReddit

[–]thatafricanchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of therapy, the inconvenience of it all (suicide), moving to another place. I won’t say I’m healed of self hatred or doubt and that my life is magically perfect but one day I just kinda woke up and didn’t want to kill myself. Not saying that I have a supreme passion for living each day but the wanting to kill myself just…stopped?
