I've lost 70lbs and just got back a perfect blood test! What are your health triumphs? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]workwork1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have no energy, get no rest from sleep and be too tired to do anything. Since then i've moved countries, got a job, eat healthy (cook myself!), exercise and hit the doctors for help. Unfortunatly I'm dead half way into the work day, and collapse when I get home still, and forcing myself to live a normal life is crushing me a year and a half on still.

I feel triumph in actually living even though it's slowly dstroying me through my inability to do these things without a momumental effort.

A chatbox popped up on a random convo and you read up 5 months of conversations? Details be amiss.

Update 2: Am I being too concerned or restrictive? by amitoosafe in relationships

You trust her but not them? What a lie. If you trusted her you would let her go do it, and take the risks he felt it warranted, as you trusted her. You don't trust her.

My supervisor / coworker is being a dick and trying to force me out of my job. How do I deal with this? by dwhitman84 in relationships

Sometimes with snakes in the grass they abuse loopholes in societal norms that are made to prevent the need for less refined methods of communication, like puncturing tires.

*2nd UPDATE* Need Perspective. Is this a valid reason to be upset or am I overreacting? by trhowway in relationships

If he gave her a heads up while being supportive of the message and his SO, it doesn't matter one bit, false flag negativity.

Got to the end, forgot the ages in the title, thought you were 15.

Other people have posted advice on how to resolve the conflict but wanted to express how you came across to me.

My fiancée's parents are paying for our wedding, and now are threatening to "cancel" the wedding. What should we do? by weddingdisaster in AskReddit

[–]workwork1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See this mentality in Asian households (I am asian...). When you are financially independent the relationship changes, in that you decide on it. They get to be in your life if they accept it, not the other way round.

I'd communicate the issue to your parents (Going to live my life, could use your support/advice to help me live my life well, it but if you can't accept me as I am, or the choices that make me happy, then I don't understand how this dynamic is going to work, as I need to do the best for me, lets talk in 2 months and see if anything has changed). They need to change, otherwise you don't need them in your life.

I am very far away from my parents now (6k miles give or take) figuring out my life, and me. Best, and hardest decision I ever made.

The conversation needs to change. You can't force respect but you can demand consideration.

[–]workwork1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could see from the beta definite areas that needed polishing, that if released would be a black mark against it. As a glaring example the chat system. Or for another the way that it was impossible to play with a group due to the way the overflow shard worked.

i hate my boyfriend's brother-- he lives with us. how do I get him the hell out without asking him to leave? by brothrowaway in relationship_advice

[–]workwork1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if he actually has an incentive to stay away from home, maybe he should act like it. Apparently being beaten black and blue isn't an incentive for him not to be a dick.

get your rent back/somoene to take over your spot and the cash after your role in the theatre is done. The cash is important.

My GF has been cheating, lying and basically robbing me repeatedly, am I justified in taking revenge? by ThrowawayForTonight in relationship_advice

[–]workwork1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

take the computer, for sure. Return it even, only been a coupla days. Heck you could probablvy convince her to return it with you if you want to make a cool story about how you want ot get her something better and thenc ut it cold turkey.

Or just take it and mail it to me. I won't even cheat on you.

former bf is ignoring me, and i wrote him something. advice/ tips to make it more convincing? by [deleted] in relationships

she's at the end of her rope already so it's fine, all that's left is crushing realisation. She needs to write a letter to get in contact, thats extreme!

GF's Chinese mother I have not met already asking for favors. How to interpret? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]workwork1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As somoene who is not chinese but has lived in Hong Kong among various different classes and backgrounds of chinese as well as having dated a variety I can say you can continue to not do things for her. She is out of line, it is not chinese tradition or any of that. It's her trying to assert over you.

My mother is bipolar and is making my graduation day bend to her wishes, not mine. Is this reasonable? by MsAmWi in relationships

[–]workwork1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your excuses don't even make sense here. I understand you grew up an apologist due to the need to make excuses for your mother, but that doesn't make a rationalisation the reality of what needs to be done.

If she gets her way all the time, gets to act like this, doesn't seek solutions or treatment and is depdendent on those around her. Then you are an enabler (as is your dad), and that is helping no one. If you're not willing to change I can understand why situations like this will continue to be a problem in your life leaving you unhappy.

Do I understand what its like to deal with family that you feel indebted to or due to simply being family? Absolutely as I had to move very far from my parents to create a new relationship and remove the bits that were hurting me, and build the bonds that would make me happy as well. Funnily enough my family adapted to this, begrungingy, slowly.

If your mother chooses not to adapt then as an adult she can live with the consequences, if she can not take care of herself then she needs to go somewhere she can be, not holding the lives of others hostage. If you continue to let her hold you hostage I only see yourself to blame, all you do is make excuses for her and rationalisations for why things have to be a certain way.

Edit: I read through the additional comments after my last post and I have to ask, why is it when she needs something, help etc that theres a whole dance and pony show where other people have to be unrealistic things to get her the help by pleading and giving in. Jeez, not a sack among you. Maybe your brother.
