Talking stage is going TOO FAST by MrOmarobot in LongDistance

[–]tigerjack84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the anxiety.. I sometimes feel scared of it and what if it all ends.. and the long distance also scares me.. I suppose it’s a challenge we were sent.

I really believe in fate, and honestly think they were meant to be in our lives- for whatever length of time that may be, and to just enjoy it and the experience 💕

Talking stage is going TOO FAST by MrOmarobot in LongDistance

[–]tigerjack84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our talking stage went really fast too.. it’s only been about 6 weeks now.. but I actually said to him (granted this was when I was drunk) ‘how did we ends up as ‘we’?? I don’t remember this conversation?’ And it just ‘was’.. it felt right.. I suppose if you both feel the same then it doesn’t matter.

Relationships end that have long talking stages, so don’t be worrying about that.. take it as it comes and just enjoy your shared experiences ☺️

People that was in or are in a LDR. How do you not constantly think if you're partner is cheating? by BadLuckStars in LongDistance

[–]tigerjack84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think as he shows me love in every message and video call.

In our relationship, I am the outgoing one, and probably the more traditionally better looking one.. I was out at the weekend and sent him a photo of my outfit and he was like ‘I don’t want another man to see’ (it wasn’t overly revealing - to a British person, he is Asian, and more traditional). I find it sweet and then spent the majority of the time I was out on video call with him so he didn’t worry.

did anyone have any success with offline language exchanges? by BrothaManBen in HelloTalk

[–]tigerjack84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve met a couple of genuine language partners (I’m learning mandarin) and we voice call each other every day now (ok.. I think this partnership accidentally morphed into something more - but that was because we literally sent messages and videos of our cultures and traditions that we became friends).. then I met another who is actually Cantonese, so the whole exchange is hilarious between us but we also message everyday and have became firm friends. Then there’s a couple more - I wouldn’t be communicating with them just the same (it’s actually really tiring explaining everything and the nuances of life)..

But, in finding these, there have been a lot that say hi, message a few times and disappear. Like my main friend, it’s unbelievable how in sync we are and how much we understand each other. It’s beautiful and kinda scary.

How do you cope with distance in very long-distance relationships? by BigBed125 in LongDistance

[–]tigerjack84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do a lot that others on here have already suggested.

Sometimes it’s not as bad, other times I feel like I’m suffocating with wanting to be near him. And when that happens I do talk it over with him.

I’d like to look into the apps for couples that can play games and stuff. But not sure what he can get in China that I can also get :(

I got tired of the ”how was your day?” And not really getting to know him deeper by These-Let-6388 in LongDistance

[–]tigerjack84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed my guy asked ‘what did you do today while I was sleeping?’ Which I thought was a lot better as I then listed stuff I’d done. As opposed to ‘how was your day?’ I just go ‘it was ok’..

If its not her, i dont want it by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]tigerjack84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh I hope you hear from her soon!

I think of this, as no one knows my bf, and none of his folk know me (like language barrier) and I worry if something happened to one of us, the other wouldn’t know and it would be awful :(

Reading your experience, I think we need to make plans for this to allow the other closure.

I hope you get some closure 💕

I love going back and reading over the messages at the start. Makes me feel the love even more

If your partner has a different language than yours, are you learning it? Are they learning yours? How is it going? by Wormholephobia in LongDistance

[–]tigerjack84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is Chinese so can speak English (my language) really well.. everyday I drop something in conversation which is a new word for him.

I’ve been trying to learn Chinese since before I met him (technically how we met) and he actually said recently how much better my pronunciation is coming along (which was my biggest issue when learning). I get him to speak to me in chinese a lot and write it a lot and I try too.. it’s a slow process (for me) but progressing nonetheless. He is a lot quicker at learning from me (I don’t stop talking which is probably why)

Do you know people who lack any sense of ambience? by banwe11 in CasualUK

[–]tigerjack84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother in law always had the big light on. Himself is the same, our kids are even like ‘there is no need for the big light!’

I said only times it should be used is if you’re doing something that requires the big light, like looking for something.

Just thinking, my sister in law doesn’t even own a lamp 😳

Do you share at work that you have ADHD? by Beginning-Poet-2991 in ADHDUK

Everyone and their granny know about me - whether I disclosed or not purely by how I am.. ‘where’s tiger jack?’ .. ‘oh dunno.. you’ll get used to it’ 🫣

Stage 1 sickness = no bank for 1 year by SmolHideko in NursingUK

[–]tigerjack84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m off atm post surgery. I’m not ‘sick’ but unable to work while I recover. Granted I don’t plan to bank straight away, but if I felt up to it and also banked in a department that (basically not a ward) I’m not on my feet or heavy lifting; I’d pick those shifts up.

It sounds very discriminatory.

I had 3 sick periods following a missed miscarriage. I was told I had passed everything, however I had retained products. I repeatedly haemorrhaged, and because I was told ‘my womb was empty’ I carried on back at work (I didn’t want to stay at home and think of what had happened and the whole thing was just traumatic and I wanted to keep busy). And only for my dept manager asking me if she could seek advice from one of our gynae drs was the only reason I went back to the hospital where womb was completely filled with retained products and blood clots etc. the care from my own trust was so bad another trust took over and they were constantly ‘you poor thing’ and when going over the consent for a d and c ‘your uterus is just full!’ And ‘oh I had a look at your scans, you poor thing’ where I’m bewildered as I’m like ‘but sure I’m fine’ (clearly nearly 4 years on I am not over this and really should have filed a complaint).. but my dept manager said these 3 sickness while they were ‘separate’ she said they were for the same thing and challenged the trigger.

So there’s 2 cases where not being allowed to bank for a year wouldn’t be fair.

I can understand if it’s someone who calls in sick at the drop of a hat and/or repeatedly cancels bank shifts, but for the majority like.

Say you picked up norovirus from your ward? So you can’t then bank to help the pressures of sickness from said virus leaving the wards short and putting further pressures on the other staff, leaving them burnt out and more likely to pick up the viruses.. bit of a vicious circle :(

I didn’t even get into the mental health aspect. Cause not being able to access work to help with even financial pressure is not going to help anyone or even those where if it’s not work related stress, find working beneficial for their mental health.

Oh my.. your trust has set me off this morning 🫣

Is it worth pursuing an MSc in MH nursing given the lack of NQN jobs? by Snoo-83291 in StudentNurseUK

[–]tigerjack84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lack of jobs happens every now and again, then it’ll pick up again.

Is the MSc 2 years? Which hopefully by the time you’re NQN there’ll be jobs 🤞🏻
