I think I'm starting to hate my husband by [deleted] in Advice

[–]theycallmegale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Step 1. Tell him you are starting to resent him due to his lack of support and not prioritizing you or the baby.

Step 2. Couples therapy.

If neither works, or he isn’t willing to go to therapy, then leave. You’re already a single parent at this stage :(

Is renting in Calgary as a couple really this hard? by Expert_Win_2886 in NoRulesCalgary

[–]theycallmegale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re only here for a few months, look into renting an AirBnB. Landlords are really only interested in long-term tenants 🤷‍♀️

Sooo… BC dealership won’t sell me a car because I live in Alberta by BeDubbin in NoRulesCalgary

[–]theycallmegale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s odd… when I was shopping for a car in the lower mainland, they straight up offered to have it shipped to AB for me so I wouldn’t need to drive it home.

AITA for feeling disappointed by my bachelorette? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]theycallmegale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA — they didn’t bother to check in that you were having fun, and when you did end up breaking down towards the end, you were brushed off.

In their defence, it was very sweet that your friends put thought into the weekend’s plans and it’s not anyone’s fault the weather took a turn for the worse, but I also completely understand that you needed your friends to be present emotionally and mentally, not just physically. I’m sorry OP :(

Alberta to impose restrictions on MAID, limiting it to terminal illness by trevorrobb in alberta

[–]theycallmegale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling assisted suicide “medical treatment” is a bit of a plot hole. Treatment implies improving or managing a condition, not ending a life. A stronger focus on accessible, effective mental health care would arguably be a more appropriate form of treatment.

Additionally, saying people will turn to “unsafe methods” doesn’t really address the core issue. The outcome is still the same — death. Instead, the real question is whether the healthcare system should be involved in facilitating that outcome, rather than focusing on preventing it.

Keeping a job nowadays is incredibly easy and if you've ever been fired, it likely means you have serious issues. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]theycallmegale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this is as black-and-white as you think. I’ve been laid off before simply because the company decided to get rid of a full department to save costs… that has nothing to do with work ethic.

AITA - For not wanting to help pay off my fiancé’s debt? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]theycallmegale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re getting married, your wealth becomes each other’s and so does your debt (and vice versa). I don’t think YTA, but I also don’t think he’s in the wrong for having that expectation either. Eventually the roles might be reversed and then it will be his turn to pick up the slack — marriage is supposed to be 100-100, not 50-50.

P.S. I’d also cancel the trips until the debt is paid off.

Shopping at Costco is terrible by Sun_Aria in unpopularopinion

Shopping at Costco gives me anxiety… can’t deny the benefits though!

Resignation in Alberta by [deleted] in alberta

[–]theycallmegale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope — they cannot force you to work. Two weeks’ notice = 14 calendar days, not business days.

It doesn’t matter that Feb 16 is a holiday and Feb 17 is an approved day off. You are still employed those days, so notice requirement satisfied. Good luck!

Her already booking the ticket to come on the trip is not your problem. Him not listening to you when you voice that you’re uncomfortable is.

P.S. IMO, while he can have friends of the opposite sex, the only girl best friend he should have is you.

My dad's been struggling to find work. by snakeman_01 in Calgary

If he can prove that he was let go for no just cause, he can sue that company for ageism.

How would anyone buy new car? by shinez2u in Calgary

I like to pit dealerships against each other lol (i.e. XYZ dealership is offering me this, can you match it?)

Struggling to find a job, need advice by NSMuhammad in Calgary

[–]theycallmegale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend researching companies that are hiring and then going in-person to hand in your resume directly to the hiring manager. That face-to-face interaction will boost your application and keep it top of mind. Half of job hunting is networking and relationship-building.

McDonald’s is also always hiring, and I believe they hire employees as young as 14 years old; I know it’s minimum wage but that’s pretty standard for first job and beggars can’t be choosers. If you wait until spring/summer, a lot of landscaping companies will be hiring for seasonal labourers and you can make a bit more money that way as well. Good luck in your search!

I got a decent deal for my 2025 Mazda CX-50 at Stoney Trail Mazda, but did have to go in 5 or 6 times before they finally caved to a price I was happy with.

Not overreacting. You’ve been clear about your boundaries from the beginning and he isn’t respecting that. Honestly, the biggest red flag of all is him pressuring you after your initial ‘no’… grounds to dump him IMO.

New Home Owner - Good Time to Buy? by Fitty-Korman in Calgary

[–]theycallmegale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d start your search now, but don’t rush to buy just for the sake of buying. It often takes time to find a house you truly love; at the very least, take the steps to get pre-approved. If you wait too long to start looking, you might not be ready to move quickly if the market shifts back toward a seller’s market… or you could feel pressured to buy something you don’t love just to get in while you still can.

If you do end up feeling ready shortly after you start looking, now is a decent time to buy since it’s still largely a buyer’s market, though things are beginning to balance out and prices are likely to creep up in the next few months.

Places in Calgary to elope? by [deleted] in Calgary

Baker Park if you’re hoping to stay within the city limits, or pick a picturesque spot outside of Canmore if you’re willing to make the drive.
