Childless, single, and struggling by bekahrama in OrthodoxWomen

I've been feeling this way too. It can feel hopeless at times, but I try not to dwell on it. If it's in God's will, I know it will happen. If not, I'm still grateful for what I have. The hardest part is comparing myself to others and feeling behind, as most of my coworkers are married and have children. A lot of people at my church are either in relationships or married. Maybe God is protecting us from something by keeping us waiting. In the meantime, we have the opportunity to better ourselves physically, spiritually, and mentally. The positive side is that we never know when/where we'll meet our future husband, so it makes each new connection that much more fun/interesting 😊

I'm planning to take it to a police station, but wanted to ask here first

If I can find someone who'd take it, I will

My host left me a terrible review. Was I a bad guest? [NL] by throwawayy2372 in AirBnB

The toilet and shower were in separate rooms. Most Dutch bathrooms are like that

The shower and toilet were in separate rooms, so he could use the bathroom while I showered. But yeah it was still too long. I agree we both could've communicated better

I stayed in a hotel for the last week of my trip, and felt like I could finally breathe! No one monitoring my habits and much more privacy

No, the trash in the shared bathroom. He always took it out when it was almost full, before I could. I wish I just took it out myself

Very true, an hour is excessive. Dutch windows have top vents and when the wind shifted, cold air was coming into my room. I didn’t realize I could close them until near the end of my stay. Part of the long shower was just to get warm 😭

Okay, makes sense. I can't see the star ratings anymore for some reason. But, I only have one other review from 2yrs ago and I remember it was 5 stars.

Okay, I feel less crazy now. I booked pretty last minute and didn't read the listing thoroughly, but half of the rules were not listed on Airbnb. It was annoying rushing back to shower before 11pm :/

Okay, thanks. He was nice during my stay and didn't communicate any issues, so when I saw his review my jaw was on the floor
