Skenario drama lucu 6 orang

Hello everyone. I hope you have a great day!
I'm at my wits' end with this PC that I have built and worked my ass off for 1 and a half years. Constant and infuriating problems. Worse off, they seem to get fixed only to come back 1-2 months later. I can't seem to find a solution despite searching the internet to my best capability. I come here asking for help, and any of it will be and is greatly appreciated I am dumbfounded and don't know what to do next.
Long post incoming.
Please excuse me in advance if i make spelling mistakes, English is not my primary language.
Context: At the beginning of 2023 i built my dream PC: -ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI -Ryzen 9 7950x -EK AIO 360 ELITE cooler -G.skill 32GB DDR5 6000Mhz -RTX 4090 GPU PALIT GAMEROCK -2TB WD SN850X -256GB ADATA pci-e 3.0 SSD (only for game recordings) -Seasonic GX 1300W Gold PSU -9 PC case fans (not including the 6 from the CPU cooler) -SAMSUNG ODYSEY G7A 4K 144hz monitor -Logitech G560 Gaming Speakers -Usb extender for my external HDD where i keep my game recordings.
I watched every possible PC Building tutorial. Read information including here on reddit on how to build, what to watch out etc. I built the PC and apart of some very hard cable management it worked fine for about 2 months. Then problems started to appear. Problems that to this day it seems, i cannot find the real solution for them.
The problem(s): 1. After 2 months of working perfectly fine, the pc ABSOLUTELY refused to boot with EXPO enabled. No matter what i did, i could not get it to POST with the EXPO profile enabled. Tried EXPO 1 and EXPO 2 EXPO 1 did not post. Q-LED stuck on on ORANGE - required manual reboot EXPO 2 worked for a short amount of time, then the system crashed constantly with BSOD's like (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT) , (ATTEMPTED TO WRITE TO READONLY MEMORY), and more, but i can't remember all of them. Since I saw a noticeable performance loss without EXPO enabled, i returned the RAM. The manufacturer did replace it, i checked, it had different S/N numbers. I put the new RAM in the PC, make sure it is seated properly, enable EXPO and problem solved!...... Or so it seemed, for the next 2-3 months
2. After 2-3 months I begin to get some weird screen flickering ONLY IN GAME PAUSE MENUS. The screen acts as if i take out the DisplayPort connector and plug it back in. Only in game pause menus. This can happen as a one-off or 30 times in the span of 15 seconds. I begin to stress test GPU, no artifacting, no errors, no crashes, it only flickers when games are paused and i'm staring at the pause menu. It does happen in mostly older games where the FPS jumps above 144 in the pause game screen. In Red dead redemption 2 this seems to happen in a continuous mode. Being afraid of my GPU being defective and due to the fact that at problem 1 it took me some time to get the ram to be replaced, i immediately pull it out and file a warranty request. I do this without researching properly this problem, in fear because this GPU cost me 2200euros at the time of purchase, and at this point about 6 months have passed since i've built this pc. While GPU was in warranty processing i take my time to research this problem to see why it could happen and if someone else did experience something simmilar. Low and behold i stumble upon a reddit post about the exact same samsung monitor that i have, with a video which shows the exact same problem. Turns out, it was from the monitor. In some games due to the GPU being able to hit more than 144fps the monitor needs to switch from G-sync mode to non G-sync mode and this causes the flicker. It somehow happens only in game menus, not in ACTUAL GAMEPLAY, as games can run above 144fps without flickering. Now that i know this i was pretty sure they would return my card as not being defective, but i didn't regret sending it in for warranty.... Better safe than sorry, right ? And now the only good thing in this whole story: They ended up refunding my card as somehow the manufacturer deemed it defective, but they didnt have any stock of 4090's so.... I ended up purchasing another for 1800 euros as by the time it came back in stock it was considerably cheaper. Win-win, i basically got a new gpu after using the old one for half a year, and at a sizable discount. And the new one somehow had way less flickering in the exact same situations where with the old one screen would flicker 15 times in 5 seconds. I was happy. This was actually a 'bug' in the monitor so, not the PC's fault.
Until 3 months later when something, this time more aggravating started happening.
3. After 3 months, while gaming I get a CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED BSOD. No crash dumps were made. Could not find any with WhoCrashed. I chalk it up being some outdated bios. I update the bios to the (then) most recent one, and pc works fine for about a week. Then I get a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION bsod. After this BSOD, a strange behaviour started manifesting: To make it more clear i will explain first 3 states of the pc: the HOT one, the COLD one and the IDLE one. It's easier for me to explain it this way as English is not my primary language, so i'm sorry if i'm over-complicating things.
COLD state - PC has been off for at least 6-8 hours (like when you power it off after a gaming session and go to bed, then start it the next day) HOT state - pc has been running for at least 1-2 hours WHILE doing demanding tasks - cooling system is 'heat soaked' the air from the fans is noticeably hot. PC runs (as expected) noisier while in this state. IDLE state - pc has been left idling for at least 30mins, or i'm doing some non demanding tasks like web browsing, the key here is that the pc is allowed to COOL down returning from HOT state, while powered on. So now that i hopefully clarified what i'll be reffering to, back to my 3rd problem:
The strange behaviour that i observe is as follows: If the pc is booted in COLD state, all works fine, EXPO passes the POST, PC works as expected for as long as I want - i can let it do stress testing for the GPU and CPU at the same time for 2 days straight, no problems with instability. I tested with all the available programs like prime95, Heaven, furmark, OCCT. System seems stable. Except when I do a restart in HOT state. God forbid i have to restart the pc without letting it cool down first.
If i restart the PC in HOT state, no matter if i do a hard reset by pressing the button on the case or hitting the restart button in start menu, PC will now REFUSE to POST. Q-LED stays STUCK ON ORANGE, just like in the past when the ram was faulty. I can get it to POST if i disable EXPO. PC works fine. If i turn EXPO on now that the pc works, and do a restart, surprise, it works like a charm. I am able to game or run stress tests as long as i want. No memtest86 errors both with expo on or off, no prime95 errors, no OCCT errors. The same behaviour repeats if i shut down the pc in the HOT state, right after gaming. When powered back up, even if it's after 5 hours and in theory the pc is at room temperature, will not POST. Then i have to again reset the EXPO, POST, restart, enable EXPO, PC works again no problem.
But here is the mind bending part: IF after gaming or stress testing the pc is allowed to run in IDLE state for some time (to cool down) before shutting down / restarting , the problem DISSAPEARS. The pc can be restarted succesfully, with EXPO, it POSTS like it should, no problems arise. I CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM IF THE PC IS ALLOWED TO IDLE BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN/RESTARTING, NO MATTER WHAT I DO. I can try to restart it several times, it will boot like a charm.
So to recap: PC HOT -> restart in HOT state/shut down and allowed to cool -> no POST with EXPO PC left in IDLE to cool and then shut down/restarted -> cannot reproduce problem, PC works as it should PC booted in COLD state -> cannot reproduce problem. PC works as it should. After succesful boot, pc shows no sign of instability even in a worst case CPU + GPU full load. The above behaviour can be reproduced at any time.
I do research. I make posts asking for help. Nothing that i come across perfectly describes my problem. Thinking that the RAM has a problem i proceed to take out the sticks and swap them, put them back in. Keep in mind that at this point, i already had the sticks replaced under warranty, because of problem no 1.
After I reseat the RAM, PC seems to work fine. No more of this behaviour. I can restart it when HOT and it will work fine. I'm thinking somehow the RAM became unseated ? Anyway, pc seems to work fine. I update the bios as at this point a new one has been released, and continue using the PC no problems at all.
The problem seems to have been solved
But....... After another 3-4 months i start to experience the worst problem of them all, and we are now in the recent time-frame (more than one year has passed since i built the pc). And again the problem has a weird pattern to it, something that i can't explain.
4. When starting to play Warzone after a COLD boot, some short time after the match starts, (this can happen right in the match lobby or 5 minutes after the game has started) i will inevitably get a BSOD. SYSTEM_SERVICE _EXCEPTION or CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. The computer CANNOT create dump files, it gets stuck at 0% 'we're collecting some information .... ", as from experience i set it such as it will not restart itself in an event of a bsod, so that i can read the error code. The system hangs, will not proceed to create a dump file (Whocrashed won't find any, as opposed to earlier problems where it could create dump files) and requires a manual reboot. And now the saga takes an unexpected turn.
After the restart, there is a 50/50 chance of these 2 things happening: --- the pc won't POST as described in problem 1, the Q-led gets stuck on ORANGE but keep in mind that now the pc DID NOT HAVE THE TIME TO HEAT UP since it happens in short time after launching the game and/or entering a match after a COLD boot. The pc requires constant restarts to even get to the BIOS, will fail to load EXPO a couple times even after booting it without EXPO, it still has a chance of not booting with expo enabled This is problem 1 but on steroids and now happens in this specific scenario: COLD boot, right after launching a game
OR
--- the PC won't POST and it Q-led gets stuck on WHITE (GPU problem) .... I am at a loss of words.... Keep in mind that at this time i've had the RAM and THE GPU replaced ..... And the new RAM reseated earlier due to problem no 3. After a couple of forced restarts, the POST passes the GPU test and am back again to BIOS in SAFE MODE. The system in this state is extremely unpredictable, i cannot enable EXPO, because it either won't pass the RAM test or if it passes it gets stuck on GPU test. This does not happen with EXPO turned off. After being able to boot without EXPO, I can enable it and do a restart succesfully, and stress test the hell out of the pc with NO ERRORS WITH OR WITHOUT EXPO. I did just as i did earlier: Prime95 in combination with furmark, or OCCT, or Heaven. I did a memtest86 over night in both EXPO and non-EXPO, it passed succesfully.
So basically: The PC throws a BSOD only in COLD state. IF the pc is being able to boot after the BSOD, then it is stable, --- all stress tests can't make it throw a BSOD. I can even play Warzone for 10 hours straight after the first BSOD, without it giving another. IF after BSOD can't boot, restart it a couple times and it works after like a charm - i can't make it go unstable again, no matter what i do, except if i restart it from the HOT state, aka problem 1 but now worse ........
All this feels so frustratingly surreal and counterintuitive to me, especially considering the replaced RAM and GPU. I'm at a loss and i don't know what to do. I'm sorry if this post is too long or hard to read, i apologize, i tried to give the best explanation as i can, and i hope someone will be able to help me.
Temperatures measured while gaming: CPU max 75C GPU max 73 hot spot 86 RAM 61C
Temps while stress testing GPU + CPU after 6 hours: CPU max 95C (according to AMD this is expected behaviour) GPU max 76C hot spot 93. RAM 65C
In my opinion, these look fine.
What could be the cause of all these problems ? Why is the PC stable if booted? In my experience if a PC is unstable, the unstability will show itself when put under load, no matter what. On my old 4790K i did overclocking to 4.7 ghz and am accustomed to how instability looks like.... but this ? What is this ? Why after reseating the ram the problems dissapear for a while and then they come back ? If it is unstable it is no matter what the circumstances (or should be), not like this. I am completely and utterly frustrated, dissapointed and sad about this and i do not know what to do next. Please help me. I've spent so much money on this PC only to spend more time diagnosing it than playing games or using it.
To everyone that read this, i thank you and whish you a good day. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Sylvia: All you feel is ecstasy when you kill. It’s like you’re getting off… Seriously, you need help.
Travis: Everybody deals with grief differently, right? Some people fuck at funerals. I cut off heads.

Travis Touchdown is a slacker, drinks too much, watches too much anime, plays too much video games, and buys way too much merchandise. However, when he runs out of money to buy more posters or figurines, he can be pretty slick with a beam katana. Using the Blood Berry model that he won in an online auction, Travis moonlights as an assassin and kills Helter Skelter, the eleventh best assassin in the United Assassins Association rankings. This thrusts him into a desperate struggle against the top ten assassins in the hopes of winning piles of prize money and a chance to bone the UAA organizer, Sylvia Christel.
After killing his own sister and reaching the top spot, Travis's life has become a whole lot harder. Not only do aspiring killers break down his door from time to time to challenge the Crownless King, but villains also target his friends and neighbors in attempts to break his spirit. After losing his best friend Bishop, Travis moves to the country for a quiet life, but rivals like Badman or alien invaders like FU seem to keep dragging him back into the Garden of Insanity for more bouts of bloodshed.

Beam Katanas

General Attributes

• Stops a charge from Jasper Batt Jr’s flying car

Specific Models

• Blood Berry- Travis’s initial katana, bought in an online auction in preparation for the assassin’s tournament
• Tsubaki- Visually similar to Blood Berry, this upgraded weapon has higher battery life than the base model
• Tsubaki Mk-II- This Beam Katana boasts four extra beams that rotate around the central beam. With that much extra strength comes more weight than earlier models, and Travis must wield this katana with both hands.
• Tsubaki Mk-III- The only Beam Katana in the first game that does not need an extractable frame piece, leading to a weapon that closely resembles an actual katana. While it’s a bit weaker than the Mk-II, it’s much faster and has the highest DPS and battery life of any weapon in the Tsubaki line. This weapon is also called the Camellia Mk-III in the second game.
• Rose Nasty- A pair of blades, the longer one held in the right hand. This makes for slightly weaker weapons, but they can be swung faster than other swords and can lead to higher combos.
• Peony- Basically a broadsword, this long, heavy weapon must be wielded with two hands. The blade extends even further when Travis fills the Ecstacy Gauge.

Dark Side Roulette

Special abilities that Travis can make use of depending on the luck of the draw. In the first game, these trigger after killing an enemy, and in the subsequent games, they also trigger upon delivering a wrestling move.
Time/Speed-Based

• Cherry- Time is slowed dramatically from Travis’s perspective while he moves at normal speed
• Cranberry Chocolate Sundae- Time slows to a crawl and Travis is only able to walk. If he approaches an enemy, he strikes them down with a brutal finisher, killing them near-instantly. In the second game, Travis turns into his fursona, a tiger, and tears enemies to shreds with his mouth and claws
• Bars- Travis swings his sword much faster than normal, causing most enemies to get stun locked by sword combos during the duration of the powerup

Energy Attacks

• Blueberry Cheese Brownie- Travis is able to fire explosive blasts of energy from his Beam Katana that instantly kill human enemies The same move from the second game
• Strawberry on the Shortcake- Travis temporarily gains golden hair and his katana crackles with power. His movement speed increases and he can perform Death Blows with greater ease. In the second game, this move behaves similarly to the Cherry effect
• Anarchy in the Galaxy- Getting this outcome lets Travis store one charge, up to three max. When used, Travis creates a number of purple explosions, wiping out all human enemies in the vicinity.
• Gooseberry Sugar Donut- Travis sheaths his sword for a moment before unleashing a massive, expanding dome of energy. Any human enemies caught in this dome are instantly killed.

Armor-Based

• 777s- Travis summons his mechanical armor and hovers, then uses a reticle to target enemies with homing missiles
• Green 777s- Travis summons his armor in Full Green Mode. Rather than just launching a volley of missiles like with the default 777s, he spends several seconds in the armor while swinging a larger beam sword and accessing armor-exclusive moves.

Other

• Coins- WESN, a currency, explodes from the enemy’s body for Travis to collect
• Cherries- Utopicoins, a currency, explode from the enemy’s body for Travis to collect
• Stars- Travis gains invulnerability and ignores all damage from enemies for a number of seconds
• Bells- Travis goes into Throw Crazy Mode. His hands become wreathed in flames, and for several seconds, he can grapple and slam enemies without needing to stun them. He can also perform throws on downed enemies, leading to long stun chains.

Non-Roulette Abilities

• Dark Step- Dodging right before a blow connects allows Travis to slow time down from his perspective for a few moments
• Ecstasy Mode- By killing enemies and avoiding damage, Travis fills a meter represented by a tiger that extends the length of his sword combos. Once full, he can enter a temporary Super Mode where he becomes invincible and moves much faster.

Death Glove

When Travis was sucked into the video game world through the magic game console, the Death Drive Mk II, he was granted the Death Glove, a controller that allowed him to perform special techniques. After he escaped the console, he maintained the glove and could perform a couple special moves in the real world, too. After each use, the chosen move goes on a short cooldown before it can be used again.
Some of these clips feature characters other than Travis, as many of these moves are universal and can be performed by any playable character.
Powers from Travis Strikes Again
The last level takes place in the real world, and Travis can still use all of his Chips like normal, although that may have to do with being close to the CIA’s more powerful Death Drive Mk-II.

• Shining Chip- Telekinetically grabs an enemy and then tosses them backwards
• Psycho Chip- Fires projectiles that can stun and damage struck enemies
• Heavy Chip- Creates an area of effect that slows down all enemies within
• Atlas Chip- Throws forward a sticky bomb that explodes after a short delay
• ∀ Chip- Creates an area that gradually heals Travis. This circle does gradually shrink in size, however.
• Strike Freedom Chip- Aims and fires a laser from an orbiting satellite. Travis cannot move during the aiming process, but the blast’s damage is exceptional.
• Wing Chip- Fires electricity in a straight line, which can paralyze effected enemies
• Double X Chip- Throws down a powerful bomb with a massive blast radius. It can knock back Travis but does not actually deal damage to its user.
• Ξ Chip- Makes the user invisible until they attack an enemy or until a time limit is up
• V2 Chip- The user spins around like a top, damaging any enemies that they collide with
• Destroy Chip- Creates a wall to block attacks or approaching enemies
• 00 Chip- Travis dashes in one direction, gaining some invincibility frames during the dash
• Unicorn Chip- Creates a field that drains life directly from enemies inside
• Physalis Chip- Tosses a capsule that spews poisonous and flammable gasses in four directions
• Self Chip- Generates an area that draws enemies in
• BCB (Blueberry Cheese Brownie) Chip- Drastically lowers Travis' movement speed but grants him greater attack power for a time
• NBMB (Nuts Berry Milk Blancmange) Chip- Temporarily causes Travis' normal attacks to release a meteor-shaped projectile
• Travisman Formation Chip- Can only be used in conjunction with Badman. The two men turn into one being and let loose a screen nuke attack, wiping out all normal enemies in a flash of light. This technique does not work on bosses.

Powers from No More Heroes 3

• Death Kick- Travis performs a flying dropkick, traveling across the battlefield to strike the nearest enemy, stunning them
• Death Slow- Creates a small field that slows down any enemies caught inside
• Death Force- Telekinetically grips a single enemy and throws them backwards

• Legend Chip- Lets Travis fire beams from his blade
• Z Chip- Reduces cooldowns for Death Skills to zero

Other Uses

• Dr. Juvenile, creator of the Death Drive Mk II, has downloaded her consciousness into the Death Glove and acts as an AI helper. She analyzes an alien substance when Travis presses it against the Glove.
• Allows Travis’s cat, Jeane, to travel with Travis within the glove. Jeane can exit the glove and float around in an orange bubble before landing on the ground.
• When Travis is falling off a skyscraper, the Glove transfers an Arsenal Rollout Model from the Daemon X Machina universe to save him

Miscellaneous

• Somehow escapes from restraints during Harvey Moiseiwitsch Volodarskii’s magic act
• Travis leaves an empty cloak standing up in an elevator to serve as a decoy. He then gets past Skelter Helter on the rooftop without being seen.
• Leaves a decoy in his trailer when Bad Man comes to kill him. The decoy is able to play Hotline Miami.

See that… Now THAT was a battle!!! Look at this blood! We HUMANS are ALIVE! Even if we ARE assassins! Doesn’t matter if it’s a video game, movie, drama, anime, manga… We’re ALIVE!!!

I have been a bit controlling when it comes to people's behavior to match my convenience. I don't like when somebody walks in front of me while I go out with them. I tend to match up with their pace or if I can control them, I tend to call them out for leaving me behind.
I have been controlling in so many ways and the realization has just begun to come on the surface.
I feel I might have indirectly controlled my ex for showing emotions for me or change for me. I did not want him to change and go for somebody else. I wanted him to change and start doing things only for me. I have realized today that he has changed in the sense that whatever I demanded from him, he went on and gave that time to a different person. I know you would say that this guy is narcissistic . yes he is truly, but I have seen him trying things with different people of his choice. I was never his choice. Whenever, he was sure with a girl, he would post her photos, spend time with her, go out with her and do all those activities that I wished with him. It only hit me today that I am not his choice. He was never sure about me. I know it still doesn't sound convincing, but I have played the victim for a very long time. It's enough for now. I have noticed that he was a practical person. He would not spend time , and invest his energy that doesn't seems to be worthy according to him. He only got dragged up with me because I kind of kept on demanding apologies, emotions and time from him and would always guilt trip him because of his past faults. That kept him tied up to me all the time on and off . If I were smart enough or just mature enough to let him go after few attempts to mend things, we would not be hanging like this and not knowing what to do either. I have learnt by far that emotions and behavior can be separated. We can feel emotions for a person, we can want something, desire something but still not choose to do so because of XYZ reasons. All this while, I was like "No, but I feel something for him, so it can be given a chance". It doesn't work like that. That person also has to think like that and put efforts in mending things. He went completely effortless when it came to sorting things with me. He simply doesn't want to do anything about me. Now I will tell you how I started controlling him thereafter. When I saw that I am getting rejected and feeling abandoned, I started emotionally controlling him indirectly. Guilt tripping, emotional drama, letting him back when he comes were all the enabling behavior from my side to keep him trapped with me. I used to think like a child. A childish thinking of demanding things like how we ask our parents even when it is difficult for them to give that. I indirectly and unknowingly demanded heaving emotional pampering and catering from a narcissistic person who was just opposite in nature. He liked shallowness, I liked depth. He kept things light. I wanted intensity. He was adventurous . I am a girl who likes to keep by myself. He likes to meet new people. I liked to stay indoor most of the time. Now that I see his profile sometimes, I see him posting pictures of trips with his girlfriend, going out, clicking pictures, dressing up well, flex his very adorable and beautiful girlfriend, planning things with her. If he wanted to do such things with him and would have felt comfortable, he would have done definitely, but I was never his choice, and he was also not sure about me. It is a different story when it comes to his narcissistic attempts to get rid of me or keep me in dark but let's look at it from a different perspective today. He never planned anything for me in years. He felt very very stuck, difficult and overwhelming with me because I would never leave a chance to guilt trip him. I am sure he would have had a long fresh breath after he moved in with his new girlfriend. Everything would have felt easy going and light for him after a long time. Sorry for the long post but this is the first time I am trying to be in his shoes and understand him from his perspective. This is the first time I am feeling an empathy-based understanding for him and not a selfish, egoistical based approach.
He was toxic and so am I but both in different ways. He had a narcissistic defense where as I had codependent emotional drama-based approach to sort things out. I might never ever hear from his own mouth that he felt uncomfortable with me but his actions over past 5-6 years were LOUD. I was also a girl who couldn't comprehend nonverbal clues. I was like, if this person has said that he is not disrespecting me, so he must be not and go on completely ignoring the action. He, in a span of 5-6 years has multiple times shown me that I am not the one, yet I kept on pushing to make space for me just like how a child clings on to their parent when they are abandoning or leaving .
I have never been able to come out with the whole truth until today on reddit. Yesterday I was just sitting and a thought rushed up and I said to myself " You are not a victim anymore, You stopped being victim just after few months of that disrespect or cheating , but you chose to play that role to keep yourself away from the truth and avoid the pain and hardwork of moving on". I have been playing the same story for every people in my life and I think I need to add the whole version of it and not just what is convenient for me for maintaining my social image. I say sorry to myself because I was not doing it intentionally. It was all subconscious attempts. But now I have a conscious choice to make so that the truth prevails.
Till date, I still find myself in positions where I am demanding attention from parents, friends, family members to suit my convenience. Childhood is over and I need to grow up and understand nobody can parent you after a certain point of life, not even your parent can come back and spoon-feed you because you clearly have learnt to feed yourself. YOU JUST CHOOSE TO PLAY THE VICTIM NOW. GET OVER IT.

I am a huge horror freak who bleeds orange on a daily basis. I wanted to come through and find some friends since I've been working a bit more remote (and I personally enjoy forming more online connections.) My name is David, and I'm looking to have a get together with people who just love talking horror movies, horror games and playing them non-stop. I got Phasmo, Demonologist, Devour, a ton of the Resident Evil games with online components, Texas Chainsaw, DBD, Outlast Trials, etc. You name it, I got it.
The best kind of similarities are the ones we share together and this is where I wanted to start. I don't have many "rules" per say? Just be drama free (don't be a jerk) and relatively around the age range of 23 to 40+
Feel free to hop into my DMs anytime if this calls out to you, and I prefer using Discord. I hope to see you soon during this whole UNHALLOWEEN time :)) <3

Hey everybody,
first I want to mention that english is not my native language so excuse me in advance for the mistakes and second, I have adhd but I currently don't take my medication because of breastfeeding, I will try to keep it short but we may take a rollercoaster to get to the point. Buckle up it's going to be a crazy delulu ride.
Last night my fiancé (let's call him Dave) 27M and I 25F had an argument. He just left for work without kissing me goodbye like he does everyday and now I'm starting to think I might be in the wrong...
So, context:
We are no contact for a few months now with Dave's mother and sister who are like two evil twins. They think, act, laugh and look the same. Dave told me a lot about his past and his resentment towards his sister. When he was 5 years old his mom and dad broke up and Dave and his sister were raised mainly by their mother who had full custody. They had to move a few times when he was a teen because his sister was...possessed. There was a ghost following her and one time she faked an exorcist scene and MIL was believing it so they moved out. It's an exemple of the BS he had to go through growing up with those two. A lot of made up stories and drama.
The reason he finally went no contact with them is because of our son, who just turned 1 year old. To keep it short I will make a "grocery list" of crazy things MIL did that led to Dave blocking her:
•Unfriend him on Facebook the first time he uploaded a picture of the two of us as his profile picture •After we annonced our pregnancy, threw multiple tantrums because we didnt included her enough in the pregnancy, like we did not wanted her to know the gender of the baby before us to make us a surprise baby gender reveal •Announcing she was cutting me (36 weeks pregnant at the time) off her life because we did not wanted any visitors at the hospital after the delivery •Realising that she would not see the baby so accepting me back without of course apologizing, then a month after the baby is born sending multiple texts to Dave while he was at work to tell him she was not going to be a grandmother and to have a great life with his new family without her because she only saw her grandson 3 times in one month and it was not NORMAL •Realising that didnt work as expected then gaslighting him asking "How can you be so cruel to me it's been 3 weeks since I saw my grandson?"- At this moment we had a big fight and I told Dave if he wanted his mom in our son's life that he needed to set clear boundairies with her- •Then 6 months later announcing there was going to be no Christmas this year because of all the drama (we didnt knew there was drama lama it has been 6 months that things were going smooth and that she surprisingly respected our boundairies) and that she wanted me OUT of her life because I was toxic -at this point I told Dave that it was the last strike and she needed therapy if he wanted her in our son's life- •Contacting a lawyer to beggin legal procedures to see her grandson -at this point we almost broke up because he didnt want to fight his mother in court but I didn't want this toxic person in my son's life, but finally agreed that she could see him once a month for a few hours only while we're doing a couple's activity- •Screaming at Dave so loud that I could ear her while waiting in the car with the doors and windows closed outside her house for picking up our child, because she raised Dave alone and could not believe he was so mean to her ect, while our 11 months old baby was inside with them !!! •Hi it's me realising the context is way longer than expected
And Dave is no contact with his sister because she is a follower of her mother the queen of all and to her I am the reason her family is falling to pieces.
For Dave's father side, there is no problem with them, I love them all and I think they appreciate me much since Dave have more contact with them since I'm in his life. I'm especially close to his grandmother, we message a lot, I'm sending her pictures of our son often ect. She in fact talks to me more often than Dave because Dave can take days to reply to his messages, he gets overwhelmed easily.
So finally, on April's first, SIL post on Facebook that her dog died. Oh I forgot more context...it's going to be short I swear. On top of all, MIL is our neighbor. She lives two houses across our street. Luckily there is a lot of threes so we don't see each others house. Fun fact that's how I met my fiancé he lived with his mom and he was my neighbor, he just moved with me on the other side of the road.
SIL(29F) have an history of moving out of appartment like twice a year, quitting jobs because of crazy workplace stories and adopting small dogs and hiding them from the landlord then giving them away because the landlord finds out. 7 months ago she moved 2 hours away to live with her new boyfriend who she met on tiktok and who is now in prison. When that didn't worked out she moved with my FIL, so that's why we have all the gossip. She couldn't bring her dog so she asked her mother to temporary take her dog while she finds a place that accepts dogs. After a few months of keeping the dog MIL apparently put an add to give the dog away, SIL threw a tantrum and MIL kept the dog. A few months after, there is April first and SIL post on FB that her dog died and that she thanked her mom for everything.
We were wondering if it was a sick April fools joke but apparently no, grandmother in law has contact with SIL and she told us that SIL was going to MIL house (like 2 or 3 weeks after that the dog was supposedly hit by a car, there was no snow left so that was already weird like who tf keeps a dead dog in their backyards for 3 weeks before burrying it when it's hot outside?!). SIL maintained the dead dog story, even showing GMIL pictures of where she had burried her dog.
But weeks goes by and I sometimes was hearing a small dog barking nearby our house. I was suspiscious but thought maybe another neighbor got a small dog. I often hear MIL who has a big dog of her own calling her dog back to her house.(I do a lot of gardenning and yardwork so I'm often outside). But sometimes, I would hear MIL calling what seemed to be SIL's dog name... but I thought maybe I was to far away and didn't heard it really clearly so I wasn't sure.
And then last night. I was at the end of our driveway watering plants and I heared it, clear as rock water (do you guys say that in english maybe not? <> is a french expression) MIL calling supposedly dead SIL's dog name. Oh I had a good gossip there.
I am guilty of liking a good gossip. So I rushed to my phone and DM my GMIL about what I just heard. GMIL knows about the lying history and was a witness of many crazy MIL stories back in the days MIL was with her son(FIL). So even if I don't have proof exept what I heard GMIL believes me. That is so weird I don't know if it's a lie from SIL to make her life more interesting or MIL made up that story not to tell SIL she gave the dog away and like she told SIL she already had burried the dog because of the heath, I have so many questions that won't be answered. I think she might have gave the dog to a friend of her and that is why the dog is back to MIL sometimes.
I afterwards told Dave what I heard and he wasn't surprised. I told him also that I messaged his GM about it, and at first he laughed. But then a few minutes later, he came back saying that was unnecessary to tell GMIL because she likes to gossip and will tell the whole family about it and that it was only putting oil on a fire that wasn't burning anymore. I replied that since we had no contact with them and that he blocked them on everything that it doesn't really mater, he won't have a feedback from MIL or SIL, I wanted to expose the truth about their sick lies. Then things escalated and we went to bed angry, wich in 3 years did rarely happened and didn't happened since he went no contact with his mom. Things are so much better without all the drama but I feel I triggered something in Dave last night and I don't know if I'm in the wrong... I know it took a long time for Dave to go no contact with his mother, he always hated his sister but just realised now that she is just a copy of their mom. He was raised by a narcissist and from what I have red I am lucky that he sees his mother for what she is and took the decision himself to go no contact with her.
So we have finally arrived folks, AITA for reveling the truth about the undead dog?
By the time I wrote this Dave texted me that he was sorry for not kissing me goodbye and that he loves me. But I feel guilty for not keeping my mouth shut...

TW // domestic violence
My ex (31M ‘J’) and I (24F) have been split for around 18 months. It was messy to begin with but now we are quite amicable, can have a laugh, do 50/50 coparenting split and we attend appointments together.
My ex does help me out a lot as I have several disabilities and on a bad day I might struggle to pick them up from nursery so he’ll drop them at mine for me or might need him to have them an extra night if I need to go to hospital or just have a debilitating migraine.
We both have new partners, I have been with mine (26M ‘G’) for a year although we were best friends for 5 years before this. My ex has been with his partner (26F ‘S’) for about 6 months. Since he got a new partner there’s been a bit of drama. She works with my partner and was more flirty than is appropriate with him, she had a problem with me going in my ex’s car for a bit when we took the kids to appointments, general boundary setting niggles. But there were some big things. She hasn’t yet divorced her husband (?M ‘N’) and it seems there was very little time between relationships for her. She has 2 children of her own (4 and 6months). When S and J got together, her ex N became extremely hostile. There were times I had to pick up my kids (3 and 4) from their dad’s at 2am as N was a risk of going to the house and causing problems and we decided as coparents that I would be available 24/7 should there be a risk. He made death threats towards my ex and it was a rough time. I informed the kids’ nursery about it as I was worried about their safety which upset my ex as he didn’t want anyone to know about it but I considered it enough of a risk and I don’t know the guy and he seems pretty unstable, abusive and there were stories of him having weapons. I also requested that social medias be locked down, and my kids were not to be posted on her socials. I had sympathy for S to begin with as it sounded as though she was leaving an abusive person, despite how she had acted towards me. But I also felt my children were at risk as J very quickly stepped into a step parent role and even while all this was going on he was staying in hospital with S and N’s newborn. I had concerns that if this violent person thought J was ‘taking his kids away from him’ then he might look to do something similar.
The police got involved and he (N) was warned to stay away, and by all accounts things calmed down and I haven’t heard anything for months.
However, on Monday it was S and N’s child’s birthday. It was my ex’s day to have the kids and so I didn’t know about any of the day’s events previously until today. For her birthday, they took all 4 kids to a kids theme park, which is fine and great. But, N went. My ex claimed ‘he didn’t have a choice as it was his child’s birthday’. However, he also let slip that N came up to him and told him that one of my children had fallen down the slide. So not only was he there with my children, but he was with them out of eyesight of my ex???
This really has crossed a line for me and I don’t know how to navigate it. He is clearly a very dangerous man. I didn’t say much as I was taken aback by it and we were at an appointment for my son, but my ex did reassure me that it wouldn’t be happening again but with the rationale ‘I didn’t enjoy being around him’.
I want to avoid going nuclear as far as I can. But I feel it needs to be driven home how serious this was. I honestly feel like if I mentioned this to nursery then social services would be called and I feel he endangered the kids.
Or am I just completely blowing this out of proportion?

(UK)Hi Reddit,
My ex (31M ‘J’) and I (24F) have been split for around 18 months. It was messy to begin with but now we are quite amicable, can have a laugh, do 50/50 coparenting split and we attend appointments together.

I posted in here last week about reporting a lead at the center I worked at but the TLDR is that I reported a lead that I was working with a week and a half ago because I saw her hit a child, or at least that is exactly what it looked like to me. I took a day or two to report due to not knowing how to handle this situation and didn’t tell my director, due to fear of retaliation.
Well, I made the mistake of telling three coworkers (one of which saw this same lead verbally abuse a child on multiple occasions) and then one of them told my director and probably other people, because last week when CPS and Licensing came, my director knew it was me who reported. She came into my room and told me to “not tell a single soul in this building about this” and later would tell me and others in the building to not discuss it with ANYONE.
She also had called a meeting after work that day, basically telling everyone how it wasn’t true and claimed it was “all over workplace drama” and was heavily implying I lied about it (without saying my name). It ended with her giving us a joke of a written out paper that was basically a wiki how article on not gossiping in the workplace.
This ended up with my boss sending me an email saying they were moving me to another location of the center so it would be a “better environment”, despite knowing it was much harder for me to get to as I don’t have a car. I had called her (honestly I will admit I was very angry on the phone because I knew what happened today was coming & this was a way for them to cover their assess in doing so) and she ended up letting me stay at the same location. I was on the schedule all week this week (it was released Friday) so I assumed I wasn’t going to be fired for the time being.
Well, I was emailed yesterday not even an hour after we closed about how I was being “laid off temporarily effective 6/4”. The email was two sentences max and had a copy paste feel. I had not seen it until 5:30 am this morning, when I was getting up for work and immediately was sent into panic. They now aren’t responding to my emails.
I will admit, I am not the absolute best worker, I am a bit scatterbrained and I chit chat more than I probably should, but definitely nothing fireable? The succession this came with me reporting makes it severely suspicious to me. This is made more definitive by the fact that my coworker (same one who also saw something) asked someone about it and they said the the owner told the lead I reported they were firing me!
I don’t think I want to return at all even if this “temporary layoff” ends with being employed by them again, as it is highly unprofessional and is a way for them to send a message that if you report things at my (former?) workplace, you are fired or it is swept under the rug.
I am planning on also posting in legaladvice, but I wanted a perspective from people in the field who may have experienced this before. I work in an at-will state (Michigan) , but I am very certain that retaliation for reporting abuse of this kind is highly illegal.
Does anyone have any insight into this?

i’m really just looking to see if anyone else experienced something similar and were able to fix it. i got diagnosed at 29 weeks and it’s about half a week later and i finally got my glucose monitor yesterday. since i got diagnosed i did a complete 180 on the food i eat. i did a lot of research especially on here lol and came up with a meal plan and ive been sticking to the recommended carbs for each meal/snack.
from what i know of i haven’t went below the recommended carbs, but maybe i unknowingly did because this past weekend i started to just feel a little weird. i assumed that it was actually my blood sugar being high, because i didn’t have a monitor yet and couldn’t check. i felt a little faint/just slightly off all weekend. and yesterday morning i went to my GD class after i ate what i thought was a decent breakfast (a fair life protein shake and like 6 cheese and crackers bc i was in a rush) and my vision went blurry, my ears started ringing, and i started sweating bullets. basically i was fighting every urge not to pass out and they checked my blood pressure and it was low but it came back up and i felt better after a snack.
then comes the blood sugar testing, i ate the snack they gave me then they tested my blood sugar and it was an 83 (but it was DIRECTLY after eating, so shouldn’t it have been higher?) i went home, ate what i thought was a good lunch, and my number was 81 two hours later. snack and then dinner and my number was 72 two hours later. i felt weak and faint so i drank a glass of orange juice with my night time snack bc i was terrified to wake up and get a fasting number in the 50s or something. but i just woke up and my fasting number was 76.
for breakfast this morning i tried to up my carbs a little bit because i don’t know if that’s the problem but im assuming it is even though i thought i was doing the recommended amount. but im honestly so scared to test again because im so worried about going into hypoglycemia. if my number continues to be in the 70s all day im going to call my doctor but i just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. i know that 70s is in range, but its after im eating the recommended carbs so its confusing me. i don’t know if its because before this diagnosis, my diet was mainly carbs and sweets (not very proud of that lol) but i definitely am eating SIGNIFICANTLY less carbs and sugars than i did just last week. i dont know if my body is just in shock and doesnt know how to handle this? and now i heard a symptom of your placenta disintegrating is consistent lower blood sugar numbers, so i’m just so stressed and worried about this. also it’s important to note that my baby is moving a lot and i haven’t noticed any less movement from him, if anything it’s been the opposite
