I realize that this is likely the wrong place to post this, but because I am in this situation due to anti-depressant medication, and all of the illness I have from that, and my abusive family, which I think a lot of us have, which led us to being so abused by psychiatry, I’m hoping somebody will know of some thing or want to help me.
I am in a really bad situation. I am always a cheerleader on here, telling everybody that they can get better and giving resources, and just in general, trying to make it a less dark place. I have PSSD, and I do the same things within those communities. I also have really severe severe illness in many other ways, Lyme disease, MCAS, all sorts of rare, autoimmune diseases, as well as a lot of iatrogenic harm including antidepressants and botched surgeries that have physically disabled me. I can still walk around, but I spend most of my time in pain, in bed. I know that I can get better if I can get some of the care that I have even told people hear about. But unfortunately, I have been unable to access anything because…
I am without a place to be. I am currently renting a room from somebody that is so bad for me, I am having such insane both physical and some mental symptoms. I feel like I am never going to get out of here, that I am going to die in here, and my poor little cat is also having symptoms. She is miserable. I am in southern California currently. I am not in love with California and I am willing to go elsewhere. I am looking for a lead on either a place for rent, a room for rent, back house for rent, (something that is reasonable in price, unless I could share it, and then I could split the cost), but also would be in a place that’s a good environment. No big mold problem, no abusive people, no cigarette smoke, stuff like that.
I’m really scared or I wouldn’t be reaching out here. Nobody else can really understand the types of things that have happened to us, and I’m sure that there are other disabled people here due to psychiatry. I really really need a safe place to go rather immediately
Social services have not helped me at all. I have been waiting on a an appointment with a county Doctor Who might be able to write a letter to try to get me subsidized housing sooner, though there is no guarantee that I will get subsidize housing, and the sooner could even be like six months or a year. I am dying here. I really want to be in like Oregon, or Colorado, or Washington, or another state, where I can receive naturopathic healthcare . But I can’t keep doing this with the not having a home. It is so destructive and I cannot hear anything. Thank you. Thank you for reading, thank you for listening, and thank you for seeing if you can help me at all.
Also, I should note, I am not asking for anything for free. I mean free housing would save my life, but I’m not asking for that. I am very willing to pay rent. I cannot pay $3000 a month or anything which is why I am not surviving in California, but I’m not asking for free.

Disk 0: Where windows was Disk 1: Never before used disk that I plugged just so I had another selection to create a virtual disk for a hail mary, it didn't help windows load, so I deleted the RAID configs to try to undo what I did. Then there was no boot device.
Disk 2: Bought windows 11, which is not compatible with my computer, but it let me into command prompt. Now I see I have deleted everything.

Hello! 24F here :) I am thrilled I found this sub!
I was a big reader when I was younger but found with time I grew farther and father away from it. Being heavily involved in other activities I just found myself with little interest in reaching for a read. I think part of it had to do with my anxiety - I couldn’t really sit still and submerge myself into a book. I also realized everyone in my life who’s big into reading has diffident imaginations than me. I would say I am a very imaginative person, but I just found out I have what’s called “Aphantasia.” Essentially I do not see clear detailed images when I close my eyes and imagine something. For example, if you close your eyes right now and think of an apple, do you see an apple? I unfortunately do not :( at all. I believe it had been another factor to my distance from books in the past - When speaking to my brothers and friends who are all huge readers, they described their experience like watching a movie. I however, see words on paper which make it a bit more difficult for me to feel engaged.
It takes me a specific type of read & story to really be able to emerge myself and get “lost” in a book. The past 3 months I have been getting back into it and LOVING it! I’ve been enjoying very light, easy reads to ease myself back into it. With this being said, I don’t want to fall of my rhythm of reading and am seeking book recommendations as I’m nearing the end of my current read!!
Books I’ve recently read: The Midnight Library Before the coffee gets cold Seneca - Letters from a Stoic
I don’t have a solid definition or grasp of what exact “read” I like. I will say I am open to genres and different styles, however I have never been too keen or interested in Sci Fi.
TIA! Looking forward to seeing what recommendations may arise!

I (25f) and my partner (25m) have been living together for almost a year. We used to have wifi for free through his student discount but after we moved (6 months ago) he changed our wifi plan. I don't remember if he told me or not, but I ended up with the bill of $67/m. I know this isn't that much necessarily, but when you are the only one working in the household it can be irritating to get surprise bills. Since my partner and I moved in together, he hasn't had a job. I wasn't upset about it when we lived away from his school bc he had to drive an hour or 2 one way. But after we moved next to his school, I encouraged him to get a job. He used to get a few odd jobs from his school but nothing that offered reliable income. He didn't have any luck until I brought him to a job fair 2 months ago where they hire on the spot.
I was really upset that he hadn't gotten a job that entire time because I felt like it was unfair and put a lot of pressure on me. At the same time, I think he was really trying but just not getting anything, but I also feel like he may have been too picky because he didn't want to work in food service and wouldn't apply to those jobs until I told him to after a few months. I didn't want to put more pressure on him, but I also couldn't carry the financial burden alone. I did my best to be patient and understanding, but it was really hard seeing him play video games or watch TV all day. I know that he felt really guilty not being able to contribute to our finances, I just wished it encourage him to do more for the house instead of make him depressed. We were also splitting household chores evenly for the majority of the time until I told him how I felt like I was working more than him. (I also have a skin condition that leaves open wounds on my hands which makes it really hard for me to work with chemicals, cook, wash my hands, etc.). He did more to help me and would prepare the ingredients for me to cook so all I had to do was spice them and throw them in the pot.
My partner started his new job a few weeks ago, the job only offered him part-time at 32hweek. I have a full-time and a part-time position. (I got the part-time two months ago because my checking and savings have been drained due to my partner not having a job as well as surprise veterinary and medical bills.) I make about 2x as much as my partner with the full-time alone (my part-time only gets me an extra $975/m). For this reason, we split our total monthly bills 75-25.
Now, the issue with the wifi is that my work pays for it when I put it in my expense report. I pay when the bill comes out, and I get reimbursed at the end of the month. So, we technically don't pay for wifi. But, I have included it as a part of our expenses. I feel guilty for including it, but at the same time I have been paying for both of us for 11 months and I feel like it would be fair for my partner to pay a little extra even though he doesn't make as much as me. The wifi bill is going up to $80 this month and because it's 75-25, he'll only be paying an extra $20/m.
Some additional things that people may want to consider is that my personal bills (car loan, insurance, etc) is an additional $1,100 that I do not get assistance with, while my partners is < $400. We also split household chores evenly for the most part, but I tend to cook more often and I take care of the cats 90% of the time (in my partner's defense, the cats like me more). I only mention this bc my friend said that the person who carries the most financial responsibility shouldn't have to do as much at home. With my full-time and part-time, I only have 1 day off a week, while my partner has 3.
My partner is amazing and sweet, and I don't want to do anything to jeopardize our future together. I feel like as partners we sacrifice things for each other to help both of us reach our goals. I've done my part for 11 months, is it wrong for me to want my partner to do his share now?
So, Dusty Thunder, AITA?
P.S. After writing all this out I realize that IATA for adding on the wifi because it's covered by my work. It's not wrong for me to want the help, but it is wrong for me to force it upon him without his knowledge. It's a breach of trust for something so insignificant. Like I said, it's just an extra $20 in my pocket. That's nothing compared to the future I'll get to have with him, and I trust that my partner will sacrifice for me in his own way when I need him.
So, yeah, I will be excluding wifi from our monthly bill (he hasn't paid it yet, so no harm no foul). Hopefully, you can still use this post for content 😂.

I read this pages rules for about five seconds and didn’t see anything about double posting.
Truth is I made this a bit ago and don’t have anyone else personally to benefit from it so I’d love to share it through here.
It can be said after Resh, as a meditation subject, which effectively reproduces the specific energy of the sun in the sign at the time of said Adoration.
(For Example at Midnight for Gemini, the verse is
“O what art Thou, O God my God, Thou forked tongue of the purple-throated thunder? O Thou silver sword of lightning! Thou who rippest out the fire-bolt from the storm-cloud, as a sorcerer teareth the heart from a black kid! O how can I possess Thee as the dome of the skies, so that I may fix the keystone of my reason in the arch of Thy forehead?”
This is the passage taken from Gemini of Pisces section. Further harmonizing the energy of Resh.
I hope this doesn’t take up too much space. If a moderator knows how to hide the text to expand please feel free.

Ps also curious if anyone has other ways they’ve adapted treasure house of images, as it’s extremely potent prose with a wide range of uses.

Cancer Noon: O Thou Sovran Lord of primaeval Baresarkers, who huntest with dawn the dappled deer of twilight, and whose engines of war are blood-crested comets. I know Thee! O Thou flame-crowned Self-luminous One, the lash of whose whip gathered the ancient worlds, and looseth the blood from the virgin clouds of heaven.
Libra 6pm: O Thou effulgence of burning love, who pursueth the dawn as a youth pursueth a rose-lipped maiden; rend me with the fierce kisses of Thy mouth, so that in the battle of our lips I may be drenched by the snow-pure fountains of Thy bliss.
Capricorn Midnight: O my God, suckle me with truth and be merciful unto me, as I humble myself before Thee; for all my agony of anguish is but as a quail struggling in the jaws of an hungry wolf.
♉️
Taurus 6am: O my God, Thou mighty One, Thou Creator of all things, I renounce unto Thee the kisses of my mistress, and the murmur of her mouth, and all the trembling of her firm young breast; so that I may be rolled a flame in Thy fiery embrace, and be consumed in the unutterable joy of Thine everlasting rapture.
Leo Noon: O Glory be to Thee, O God my God; for I behold Thee in the countenance of my darling: Thou hast unclothed her of white lilies and crimson roses, so that she may blush forth the Glory of Thy Name.
Scorpio 6pm: O Thou God of the Nothingness of All Things! Thou who art neither the golden bull of the heavens; nor the crimsoned fountain of the lusts of men: O Thou who reclinest not upon the Waggon of Night; nor restest Thine hand upon the handle of the Plough! I deny Thee by the powers of mine understanding; Urge me in the unity of Thy might, and drench me with the red vintage of Thine all-pervading Nothingness; for Thou art all and none of these in the fullness of Thy Not-Being.
Aquarius Midnight [2am]: O woe unto me, my God, woe unto me; for all my labours are as weary oxen laggard and sore stricken with the goad, ploughing black furrows across the white fields of light. Yet in the scrawling trail of their slow toil do I descry the golden harvest of Thine effulgence.
♊️
Gemini 6am: O Thou Consuming Eye of everlasting light set as a pearl betwixt the lids of Night and Day; I swear to Thee by the formless void of the Abyss, to lap the galaxies of night in darkness, and blow the meteors like bubbles into the frothing jaws of the sun.
Virgo Noon: O Thou mighty God, make me as a black eunuch of song that is twin-voiced, yet dumb in either tongue; I beseech Thee, O Thou great God! That I may hush my melody in Thy Silence, and swell into the sweet ecstasy of Thy Song: O Thou God, my God!
Sagittarius 6pm: Ah! but I rejoice in Thee, O Thou my God; Thou unimperilled flight of joyous laughter; Thou eunuch glaive-armed before joy's veil; Thou dreadful insatiable One: Yea, I rejoice in Thee, Thou lofty gathering-point of Bliss; O Thou bridal-bed of murmuring rapture! I rejoice, yea, I shout with gladness! till I tangle the black tresses of the storm, and lash the tempest into a green foam of twining basilisks, in the Glory and Splendour of Thy Name.
Pisces Midnight: O what art Thou, O God my God, Thou forked tongue of the purple-throated thunder? O Thou silver sword of lightning! Thou who rippest out the fire-bolt from the storm-cloud, as a sorcerer teareth the heart from a black kid! O how can I possess Thee as the dome of the skies, so that I may fix the keystone of my reason in the arch of Thy forehead?
♋️
Cancer 6am: O Thou Sovran Warrior of steel-girt valour, whose scimitar is a flame between day and night, whose helm is crested with the wings of the Abyss. I know Thee! O Thou four-eyed guardian of heaven, who kindleth to a flame the hearts of the downcast, and girdeth about with fire the loins of the unarmed.
Libra Noon: O Thou thirsty charioteer of Time, whose cup is the hollow night filled with the foam of the vintage of day; drench me in the shower of Thy passion, so that I may pant in Thine arms as a tongue of lightning on the purple bosom of night.
Capricorn 6pm: O my God, fondle me with kisses and be merciful unto me, as I humble myself before Thee; for all my desires are as dewdrops that are sucked from silver lilies by the throat of a young god.
Aries Midnight: O Thou burning tempest of blinding sand, Thou whirlwind from the depths of darkness! Yea, as I struggle through Thee, through Thee, my strength is but as a dove's down floating forth on the purple nipples of the storm.
♌️ Leo 6am: O Glory be to Thee, O God my God; for I behold Thee in the Lion Rampant of the dawn: Thou hast crushed with Thy paw the crouching lioness of Night, so that she may roar forth the Glory of Thy Name.
Scorpio Noon: O Thou God of the Nothingness of All Things! Thou who art neither the traces of the chariot; nor the pole of galloping delusion: O Thou who art not the pivot of the whole Universe; nor the body of the woman-serpent of the stars! I deny Thee by the powers of mine understanding; Lead me in the unity of Thy might, and draw me unto the threshold of Thine all-pervading Nothingness; for Thou art all and none of these in the fullness of Thy Not-Being.
Aquarius 6pm: O woe unto me, my God, woe unto me; for all the joy of my days lies dishonoured as the spangle-veil'd Virgin of night torn and trampled by the sun-lashed stallions of Dawn. Yet in the frenzy of their couplings do I tremble forth the pearly dew of ecstatic light.
Taurus Midnight: O my God, Thou Mighty One, Thou Creator of all things, I renounce unto Thee the whispers of the desert, and the moan of the simoom, and all the silence of the sea of dust; so that I may be lost in the atoms of Thy Glory, and be consumed in the unutterable joy of Thine everlasting rapture.
♍️
Virgo 6am: O Thou mighty God, make me as a fair virgin that is clad in the blue-bells of the fragrant hillside; I beseech Thee, O Thou great God! That I may ring out the melody of Thy voice, and be clothed in the pure light of Thy loveliness: O Thou God my God!
Sagitarrius Noon: Ah! but I rejoice in Thee, O Thou my God; Thou ambrosia-yielding rose of the World; Thou vaulted dome of effulgent light; Thou valley of venomous vipers: Yea, I rejoice in Thee, Thou dazzling robe of the soft rain-clouds; O Thou lion-voiced up-rearing of the goaded storm! I rejoice, yea, I shout with gladness! till my rapture, like unto a two-edged sword, traceth a sigil of fire and blasteth the banded sorcerers, in the Glory and Splendour of Thy Name.
Pisces 6pm: O what art Thou, O God my God, Thou almighty worker ungirded of slumber? O Thou Unicorn of the Stars! Thou tongue of flame burning above the firmament, as a lily that blossometh in the drear desert! O how can I pluck Thee from the dark bed of Thy birth, and revel like a wine-drenched faun in the banqueting-house of Thy Seigniory?
Gemini Midnight: O Thou intoxicating Vision of Beauty, fair as ten jewelled virgins dancing about the hermit moon; I swear to Thee by the peridot flagons of spring, to quaff to the dregs Thy chalice of Glory, and beget a royal race before the Dawn flees from awakening Day.
♎️
Libra 6am: O Thou green-cloaked Maenad in labour, who bearest beneath Thy leaden girdle the vintage of Thy kisses; release me from the darkness of Thy womb, so that I may cast off my infant wrappings and leap forth as an armed warrior in steel.
Capricorn Noon: O my God, measure me rightly and be merciful unto me, as I humble myself before Thee; for all my praise is but as a single letter of lead lost in the gilded scriptures of the rocks.
Aries 6pm: O Thou great labour of the Firmament, Thou tempest tossed roaring of the Aires! Yea, as I sink in the depths of Thine affliction, mine anguish is but as the smile on the lips of a sleeping babe.
Cancer Midnight: O Thou Sovran Might of the most ancient forests, whose voice is as the murmur of unappeasable winds caught up in the arms of the swaying branches. I know Thee! O Thou rumble of conquering drums, who lulleth to a rapture of deep sleep those lovers who burn into each other, flame to fine flame.
♏️
Scorpio 6am: O Thou God of the Nothingness of All Things! Thou who art neither the Formless breath of Chaos; nor the exhaler of the ordered spheres: O Thou who art not the cloud-cradled star of the morning; nor the sun, drunken upon the mist, who blindeth men! I deny Thee by the powers of mine understanding; Guide me in the unity of Thy might, and lead me to the fatherhood of Thine all-pervading Nothingness; for Thou art all and none of these in the fullness of Thy Not-Being.
Aquarius Noon: O woe unto me, my God, woe unto me; for all my joy is as a cloud of dust blown athwart a memory of tears, even across the shadowless brow of the desert. Yet as from the breast of a slave-girl do I pluck the fragrant blossom of Thy Crimson Splendour.
Taurus 6pm: O my God, Thou Mighty One, Thou Creator of all things, I renounce unto Thee the yearning for Paradise, and the dark fear of Hell, and the feast of the corruption of the grave; so that as a child I may be led unto Thy Kingdom, and be consumed in the unutterable joy of Thine everlasting rapture.
Leo Midnight: O Glory be to Thee, O God my God; for I behold Thee in the riotous joy of the storm: Thou hast shaken the gold-dust from the tresses of the hills, so that they may chaunt forth the Glory of Thy Name.
♐️
Sagittarius 6am: Ah! but I rejoice in Thee, O Thou my God; Thou seven-rayed rainbow of perfect loveliness; Thou light-rolling chariot of sunbeams; Thou fragrant scent of the passing storm: Yea, I rejoice in Thee, Thou breath of the slumbering valleys; O Thou low-murmuring ripple of the ripe cornfields! I rejoice, yea, I shout with gladness! till, as the mingling blushes of day and night, my song weaveth the joys of life into a gold and purple Crown, for the Glory and Splendour of Thy Name.
Pisces Noon: O what art Thou, O God my God, Thou soft pearl set in a bow of effulgent light? O Thou drop of shimmering dew! Thou surging river of bewildering beauty who speedest as a blue arrow of fire beyond, beyond! O how can I measure the poisons of Thy limbeck, and yet be for ever transmuted in the athanor of Thine understanding?
Gemini 6pm: O Thou flame-tipped arrow of devouring fire that quiverest as a tongue in the dark mouth of Night; I swear to Thee by the thurible of Thy Glory, to breathe the incense of mine understanding, and to cast the ashes of my wisdom into the Valley of Thy breast.
Virgo Midnight: O Thou mighty God, make me as a green arrow of Lightning that speedeth through the purple clouds of Night; I beseech Thee, O Thou great God! That I may wake fire from the crown of Thy Wisdom, and flash into the depths of Thine Understanding: O Thou God, my God!
♑️
Capricorn 6am: O my God, behold me fully and be merciful unto me, as I humble myself before Thee; for all my searching is as a bat that seeks some hollow of night upon a sun-parched wilderness.
Aries Noon: O Thou steel-girdered mountain of mountains, Thou crested summit of Majesty! Yea, as I climb Thy grandeur, I find I have but surmounted one mote of dust floating in a beam of Thy Glory.
Cancer 6pm: O Thou Sovran Paladin of self-vanquished knights, whose path lieth through the trackless forests of time, winding athrough the Byss of unbegotten space. I know Thee! O Thou despiser of the mountains, Thou whose course is as that of a lightening-hoofed steed leaping along the green bank of a fair river.
Libra Midnight: O Thou wine-voiced laughter of fainting gloom, who art as a naked faun crushed to death between millstones of thunder; make me drunk on the rapture of Thy song, so that in the corpse-clutch of my passion I may tear the cloud-robe from off Thy swooning breast.
♒️
Aquarius 6am: O woe unto me, my God, woe unto me; for all my song is as the dirge of the sea that moans about a corpse, lapping most mournfully against the dead shore in the darkness. Yet in the sob of the wind do I hear Thy name, that quickeneth the cold lips of death to life.
Taurus Noon: O my God, Thou Mighty One, Thou Creator of all things, I renounce unto Thee the wine-cups of merriment, and the eyes of the wanton bearers, and all the lure of their soft limbs; so that I may be made drunk on the vine of Thy splendour, and be consumed in the unutterable joy of Thine everlasting rapture.
Leo 6pm: O Glory be to Thee, O God my God; for I behold Thee in the sparkling dew of the wild glades: Thou hast decked them out as for a great feast of rejoicing, so that they may gleam forth the Glory of Thy Name.
Scorpio Midnight: O Thou God of the Nothingness of All Things! Thou who art neither the Crown of the flaming storm; nor the opalescence of the Abyss: O Thou who art not a nymph in the foam of the sea; nor a whirling devil in the sand of the desert! I deny Thee by the powers of mine understanding; Bear me in the unity of Thy might, and pour me forth from out the cup of Thine all-pervading Nothingness; for Thou art all and none of these in the fullness of Thy Not-Being.
♓️
Pisces 6am: O what art Thou, O God my God, Thou snow-browed storm that art whirled up in clouds of flame? O Thou red sword of the thunder! Thou great blue river of ever-flowing Brightness, over whose breasts creep the star-bannered vessels of night! O how can I plunge within Thine inscrutable depths, and yet with open eye be lost in the pearly foam of Thine Oblivion?
Gemini Noon: O Thou Dragon-regent of the blue seas of air, as a chain of emeralds round the neck of Space; I swear to Thee by the hexagram of Night and Day, to be unto Thee as the twin fish of Time, which being set apart never divulge the secret of their unity.
Virgo 6pm: O Thou mighty God, make me as a silver fish darting through the vast depths of the dim-peopled waters; I beseech Thee, O Thou great God! That I may swim through the vastness of Thine abyss, and sink beneath the waveless depths of Thy Glory: O Thou God, my God!
Sagittarius Midnight: Ah! but I rejoice in Thee, O Thou my God; Thou who broodest on the dark depths of the deep; Thou lap of the wave-glittering sea; Thou bright vesture of the crested floods: Yea, I rejoice in Thee, Thou native splendour of the Waters; O Thou fathomless Abyss of surging joy! I rejoice, yeah, I shout with gladness! till the mad swords of my music smite the hills, and rend the amethyst limbs of Night from the white embrace of Day, at the Glory and Splendour of Thy Name.

Had surgery 4 weeks ago. Total hip replacement. I've had the first 2 week follow up and all is going good. I have the next apt end of June. I kind of feel like they'll release me back to work at this visit. It was kinda how things sounded at the last visit. This next visit is with the dr assistant, that wouldn't make a difference would it in regards to being sent back to work? The actual dr that did the surgery wouldn't have to see me for this to happen or would he?
The surgery coordinator told me when I asked about recovery time off they usually do 12 weeks but some people can't take 12 weeks and some have gone less depending on recovery. Recovery time on this surgery is 6 months but from what I've seen it's usually up to a year. I know I csn go back to work b4 then, but how soon would they start talking about mmi? That still shouldn't be any time soon, should it?
I'm still employed, still on medical leave and any time I've emailed hr they've responded and answered whatever was in question (I haven't contacted them to much because I knew the adjuster was sending paper work as well) I was thinking of emailing them and asking about the return to work process. Should I wait until i have clearance to actually work before I email and ask about that whole part of it?
I was also working 2 jobs,.if anyone has does this when returning does anyone know If it would be possible to have a Dr's note to be off of one place but not the other? Go back to primary job and still have some time before jumping back into the part-time position?

THE OBLIGATORY "IS THIS A SCAM?" QUESTION:
Considering the fact that you found my contact information online, it’s understandable to be skeptical regarding the legitimacy of my services. Therefore, I’m willing to do all of the following to help you feel more secure in trusting me with your academic needs:

• 1) Speak with you on the phone and answer any questions you may have so that you have the opportunity to assess and analyze my tone, articulation, accent, diction, dialect, regionalisms, pitch, vocabulary, word choice, intonations, and inflections.
• NOTE: I’m a New Jersey-born Irish/Italian-American, but I have been told that I speak in an erudite & articulate suburban American accent with a “professor style” voice somewhat resembling the voice of actor: Ben Stein.
• 2) Agree to do some homework questions of yours upfront with the work fully shown in real-time to prove my mastery of the course content.
• 3) Send you screenshots of at least five past scores I attained from completing exams & homework assignments for other students in the same type of class you need help with.
• 4) Send you full screenshots of written exam solutions I wrote up by hand for students in the past in the same course that you need help with so that you can see my neat handwriting.
• 5) Provide you with the contact information of students who have utilized my services in the past who would be more than willing to vouch for my skills.

MY REBUTTAL TO THE OBLIGATORY “IS THIS A SCAM?” QUESTION:
At the risk of sounding arrogant, I consider myself to be at least marginally more intelligent (both academically & socially) than the average person. Therefore, if I ever decided to suddenly risk prison time, risk my reputation, and risk enduring the wrath of modern-day “cancel culture” by scamming people out of their money:

• I certainly wouldn’t do it for such paltry amounts of money. (i.e., anything less than $1,000 per victim.)
• I certainly wouldn’t choose high school & college students as my “target audience” to scam, considering that most people without college degrees have abysmally low annual incomes. Why choose low-income victims when it would be much more profitable to target high-income, high-net-worth individuals earning at least six figures a year? I have knowledge in business consulting, and I promise you that a business owner would be a MUCH more lucrative mark than a low-income college student.
• I wouldn’t choose such a time & energy-draining method of scamming people. Also, communicating back and forth with potential clients is an absurdly long time sink since only less than 10% of all potential clients who reach out to me actually become paying clients of mine. This means that 90% of my time communicating with potential clients ultimately proves to be a colossal waste of my irretrievable time & energy.
• If you pay me to provide academic services and I don’t deliver, you can always dispute the payment with the payment app and easily get your money refunded. If I were in the habit of swindling money from people, then all of my payment accounts would have been investigated and be completely shut down by now. And I would have been permanently banned from opening new accounts. Therefore, the fact that all my payment apps have been fully active for years should be sufficient proof that I haven’t had people consistently disputing payments sent to me.

Some quick info : I am a supervisor (promoted 2 months ago) in a fast food restaurant in Alberta. Employed here for just under 2 years.
So i work the closing shift and the schedule ends at 11:30 pm every night. However i'm newer to being the sole supervisor closing so there is lots of new responsibilities to learn balance.
They also encourage me to send home the one other crew member i close with leaving me working completely alone to work at night. which i'm pretty sure isn't proper practice either.
Anyways, i've been having to stay 1-2 hours late every night and my manager and assistant managers know this. They schedule me for a full 8.5 hr shift (30 mins break unpaid) usually 3pm -11:30pm so working past 11:30 means i SHOULD be incurring overtime pay for the 1-2 hrs i stay late. and also my regular pay for the hours worked past 11:30pm when its not a full 8 hr shift.
However i get paid for NOTHING passed 11:30pm. and the managers change my time cards to show i left at 11:30.
The past few weeks i've been taking pictures of my punch card screen to have proof of the hours i worked each night and showing that i stay longer than 8 hours and that i do stay late.
I've brought this issue up several times and they've told me this.
"No, we are not paying for any extra hours. Because it is your responsibility to manage your time and finish your supervisor duties within a given time frame. You can organize yourself better, and that everyone spends more time in the beginning"
Like anyone who works close knows that you can only get so far ahead on your duties, and that it can all go wrong with one rush.
This is a huge reason as to why im leaving, i'm done donating my time to a multimillion dollar company who refuses to pay their employees for their full hours worked.
Now that i having handed in my resignation, what can i do to take action?

I realize that this is likely the wrong place to post this, but because I am in this situation due to anti-depressant medication, and all of the illness I have from that, and my abusive family, which I think a lot of us have, which led us to being so abused by psychiatry, I’m hoping somebody will know of some thing or want to help me.
I am in a really bad situation. I am always a cheerleader on here, telling everybody that they can get better and giving resources, and just in general, trying to make it a less dark place. I have PSSD, and I do the same things within those communities. I also have really severe severe illness in many other ways, Lyme disease, MCAS, all sorts of rare, autoimmune diseases, as well as a lot of iatrogenic harm including antidepressants and botched surgeries that have physically disabled me. I can still walk around, but I spend most of my time in pain, in bed. I know that I can get better if I can get some of the care that I have even told people hear about. But unfortunately, I have been unable to access anything because…
I am without a place to be. I am currently renting a room from somebody that is so bad for me, I am having such insane both physical and some mental symptoms. I feel like I am never going to get out of here, that I am going to die in here, and my poor little cat is also having symptoms. She is miserable. I am in southern California currently. I am not in love with California and I am willing to go elsewhere. I am looking for a lead on either a place for rent, a room for rent, back house for rent, (something that is reasonable in price, unless I could share it, and then I could split the cost), but also would be in a place that’s a good environment. No big mold problem, no abusive people, no cigarette smoke, stuff like that.
I’m really scared or I wouldn’t be reaching out here. Nobody else can really understand the types of things that have happened to us, and I’m sure that there are other disabled people here due to psychiatry. I really really need a safe place to go rather immediately
Social services have not helped me at all. I have been waiting on a an appointment with a county Doctor Who might be able to write a letter to try to get me subsidized housing sooner, though there is no guarantee that I will get subsidize housing, and the sooner could even be like six months or a year. I am dying here. I really want to be in like Oregon, or Colorado, or Washington, or another state, where I can receive naturopathic healthcare . But I can’t keep doing this with the not having a home. It is so destructive and I cannot hear anything. Thank you. Thank you for reading, thank you for listening, and thank you for seeing if you can help me at all.
Also, I should note, I am not asking for anything for free. I mean free housing would save my life, but I’m not asking for that. I am very willing to pay rent. I cannot pay $3000 a month or anything which is why I am not surviving in California, but I’m not asking for free.

I think the problem with the current MEME plays is the Hedge Funds etc.. know how the game is being played.
An announcement is made on Reddit and the Apes buy as much as possible sometimes with huge resistance or without follow through from other supporters.
The first time the Hedgies were Unprepared, now they have all the MEME stocks on watch, including Reddit. When it is announced they short the heck out of the stock not to mention they are watching key levels. Trying to make it impossible for the normal trader to make a profit. After all the deck is stacked against us.
I propose instead of keeping the the same MEME stocks year after year it is rotated to new stocks. Then announcements are not made until everyone can get ready to pull the trigger, maybe even rotate the time frames. Morning, Noon, Before Close.

Can anyone tell me what is happening with my charge? I filed a disability discrimination charge against my employer in February 2024. The 30 days for them to submit a position statement passed. I asked the investigator what was going on. He said something about a commission investigation? Anyway I did finally get their position statement,it was mostly false and misleading. I was surprised because my employer knew I had lots of emails and documents as proof of the lies. The company I worked for fearlessly bullies staff. In fact several of my supervisors ganged up on me, made threatening statements in writing, altered some of my records ( I have both copies) made up arbitrarily rules and consequences just for me. I have PTSD that was in remission for many years. It was triggered due to the bullying at work. I asked to go on FMLA and gave them two doctor’s letters to substantiate my need for leave. My employer emailed me stating BEFORE going on FMLA I had to get a psychiatric evaluation from the company, psychiatrist and and fit for duty evaluation when I was able to return. I know the fit for duty is normal upon returning, but not before going on leave. They also put in writing “ You must return from medical leave with no restrictions. “ The other option was I could resign.
I submitted my rebuttal and here we are in June. Mediation hasn’t been offered.
I’m pretty sure that the EEOC will find my charges valid. I was dealing with things like a group email initiated by my supervisor to her colleagues in three different departments talking about my need for an ADA accommodation. It was humiliating. I’m not one to even mention having a disability. I disclosed this asking for a little accommodation that wouldn’t have cause any harm at all. It’s like they went full defensive mode and decided it would be better to obliterate me. It’s been devastating.
Anyway I’m just wondering why mediation hasn’t been offered. The EEOC is still investigating, it’s an active investigation. They also said I can have a right to sue letter whenever I want.
I can’t get an attorney because this company is so politically powerful no one dares to go up against them. It’s been a nightmare. Any advice or insight will be appreciated!!
Thank you!!

AITAH for blowing up at my FIL, calling him a racist, a bigot and a prick? I, 32m, went off on my father in law during a recent visit from him and my MIL. During the visit he was constantly complaining, criticizing, and talking about things with what felt like the sole purpose of making everyone uncomfortable. We all had just finished watching a movie when my FIL decided it was time to start back up. He begins to go in on movies that have women in strong roles and how they make the woman the man and if the woman is married how their husband is just the woman of the house. This turns into complaining about remakes with women as the lead role when the original was a man. He then segways into complaining about remakes that had POC in the starring role and how it's wrong because when he would watch those shows or movies growing up it was always a white person and that it should still be. During this time my wife had been trying to derail his rant and ease the awkward situation we were all in. This is about the time I snapped, I know that my behavior wasn't conducive to have an actual conversation as I was yelling, but after holding my tongue for over ten years I finally had enough. I called him an f'n racist and a bigot. He was completely taken aback and his response was "I didn't realise you were so woke" I immediately told him that if he wants to keep being an f'n prick he could just leave. He continued to try and justify what he was saying or to bring up other "examples" of "how this is their agenda". I shot him down at every turn. At one point he asked me if I knew that what I was doing would have lasting effects, and in the moment I told him I didnt care(which I can't take back but I do care, I just wish he could change his ways) Eventually he looked at my MIL and said I think it's time we go. They gathered up their things and headed out the door.

 I did stop them and apologize to both of them for my behavior. I know the way I acted was inappropriate, however I stand by what I was defending. My wife grew up in their abusive home and has grown up walking on egg shells just trying to manage the peace and maintain a relationship with her family. After her parents left she sent her father a text asking him to let her know that they had gotten home safely, to which she didn't receive a reply. She had to find out from her younger brother who still lives at home. Her brother asked her what happened, so she told him the truth, that her father was spewing his normal bs and that her husband(me) went nuclear on their father. Sadly her brother took what was said and misrepresented it to their father. She received a text from her father today stating that if she needs to communicate with them(speaking for the whole family) that she needs to write a letter and keep a copy for herself so nothing can be misconstrued. He also stated that he couldn't be a racist or a bigot because "his best man, mentor, best friend and brother" are Filipino. 

The largest example of an uncomfortable topic he brought up and talked about for at least 5 minutes straight is dogs buttholes.(he has brought them up before and completely ignored boundaries on this topic)
I'm sure I have missed things on both sides.
TL:DR My in laws were visiting and my FIL went on a racist, bigoted, misogynistic rant to which I completely blew up which ended up in them leaving and almost completely cutting contact with myself and his daughter.

I posted this in the main CPTSD sub but I don’t expect to get much support since I’ve mentioned how whiteness affects this situation. I don’t need advice, I really only want to share how frustrating this is with people who might understand a little better.
TL;DR: This volunteer situation was supposed to help me feel like the world has some hope. Like I am not the only one that recognizes the unfairness of our systems. To feel part of a community. But it’s only bringing up fears and anxieties that I haven’t felt in years since escaping from my abusive family. It’s also bringing up the feelings I have about feeling alienated from my culture and other people like me, yet also am rejected by the white society at large. I again feel rejected and chased out of my community. And maybe I don’t have the right to feel that way because that has literally happened to G, and allegedly the others.
My city has an issue with homelessness, as does every major city in the U.S. One large population of the homeless here are migrants and refugees. I used to be homeless myself and have since gotten out of that situation, I have a lot of sympathy for people who struggle with housing. I’ve been wanting to volunteer in my community, but with having a few medical conditions including PTSD and a neurological condition, I have very little energy to volunteer after work during the week and on the weekends I really need to rest and recuperate energy for getting back to work on Monday. I know not everyone can understand how terrible fatigue is but it really does affect the quality of my life and relationships sometimes. Anyway, I’ve been feeling guilty about not contributing that much to the solutions of these social problems surrounding us, so I wanted to do something actionable. I got in touch with a local housing organization that gets migrants and refugees temporary housing in the local community while they do the paperwork of helping the migrants get on the path to citizenship and stable housing. I volunteered to take in this older man who is pretty much guaranteed to be killed if he ever returns to his home country, and he has the scars to prove it. I figured, this won’t take up much of my time, and I have so much for a single person that I can afford to share a little bit.
He moved in last Wednesday. Let’s call him G. He sleeps on an air mattress in the living room of my one bedroom apartment. He’s mostly fine, although he has complained about my Spanish not being perfect and it took everything in me to not say “Out of all the fluent Spanish speakers in this city none of them want you in their home.” I did remind him that I’m doing my best to help him and he conceded. He is an old man who doesn’t understand technology so sometimes I have to explain to him that people/technology/things aren’t consciously trying to harm him, he just is unfamiliar with our way of life here. I have a lot of sympathy for him and I get how scary it must be having traveled all this way for asylum just to maybe be sent back to certain death.
He told me about his “family.” They’re not really his family, he just traveled up here with them from his home country, although they are from another country so I’m not sure how they got to know each other. The “son” (“B”) got very mad at G one day because one of the housing organizers bought G a new SIM card which gave him a new number and as a result B’s calls and texts weren’t going through to G and B said G was trying to abandon him now that he’s gotten new housing (my apartment). The housing organizers had to mediate between the two to get B to understand G just had a new number because the old phone was locked, I’m pretty sure because B had stolen it and claimed to have bought it for G. The rest of the family members are B’s wife “J”, their 10 year old son, their toddler daughter, and a 21 year old woman “D” who they initially presented to me as their daughter when in fact she is just someone they met at a refugee camp in another state, plus her toddler daughter.
My apartment has a pool, which G was super excited about. I took him to the store and bought him a pair of $15 swim trunks, no big deal. The next day, he asks me if his family can come for dinner and the pool. I said sure, and he told me “the only thing is that J doesn’t have a swimsuit” but that the kids all did. I felt like everyone has the right to have a fun pool day and take a break from the stress of their lives, so I said no problem and told them to meet me and G at Walmart the next day.
We meet at Walmart the next day, and it turns out that none of the adults have swimsuits. I grit my teeth and say okay, you guys can shop for one too. B doesn’t find anything in his size, and begrudgingly I agree to take him to Target after Walmart. J finds a swimsuit but has a religious belief against showing her legs, so I had to buy her shorts too which I think still shows your legs but whatever. D tries on every fucking one piece they have, we spend a long time waiting for her to try them all on, and she decides that they’re all too small or too big. She kept trying sizes XS and M and I said to just try a S. But she doesn’t like any of the ones they have in her size! Oh my god!!! Then they tell me that none of them have towels, so idk what they were expecting to do after the pool??? So then I fucking buy them towels too and all together everything costs $95, and we’re not even done. D wants to go to Target with me and B. So we go to Target and they both take forever trying on clothes which I just think is a little inconsiderate when it’s not your money you’re spending. B wants to buy not just swim trunks but also a tank top and sunglasses. D tried on every single swimsuit just to get the most boring basic black one piece AND it costs $40! Then they had the nerve to imply that I wasn’t buying enough bagged salad for them to all share. We’re cooking rice, potatoes, and chicken, do we really need two bags of salad for 4 adults? When we got to the cash register I really didn’t want to pay more than $150 so when the total got up to $148 I told B that I didn’t want to buy his sunglasses and he said that it’s okay, he’ll buy them. D, I think she genuinely thinks I don’t understand a lick of Spanish because she told him “I don’t think she has the money to pay for them.” BITCH DO YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THEM? OR YOUR $40 SWIMSUIT??? I didn’t want to cause a stink at the cash register in front of this old white lady who was already judging us for speaking Spanish to one another, so I just ignored her comment and paid for everything.
We cook (by that I mean me and G, his “family” did not contribute anything) dinner and go to the pool. D complains that we didn’t cook enough rice for everyone. Which wasn’t true, everyone got just enough and was full. I told them I wasn’t going to get in the pool because I had to get ready to go to a party later that evening and I still had to shower, shave, and do my makeup. D looks down at my chipped nail polish and goes “And you have to paint your nails too.” Why does this woman who has nothing feel the need to police my womanhood????? She also made comments about how she couldn’t wear a two piece because it wasn’t godly. You’re a 21 year old single mother, I don’t think you care about what’s godly tbh!!!
Anyway, G comes home yesterday and tells me that one of the housing organizers has blocked his number and that she lied to him about his lawyer’s progress on his case for asylum. At this point I don’t trust G to be a reliable narrator so I don’t know how much of that is true, and after calling my main contact at the organization she doesn’t think that’s how things played out either, but G won’t return her calls today so we’re not sure what’s going on. He also told me that B and J got scammed out of $800. J was looking for someone to write her a letter claiming she worked for them in order to be approved for an apartment. She had asked me but I’ve heard apartments have gotten wise to this issue and so I declined because I don’t need any legal trouble myself. And honestly it sounds like she has been working harder to find someone to write this letter than she ever did to actually find work. B has a job but he’s paid under the table so his company doesn’t want to admit to employing him. Apparently they approached some lady on the street about it and she said she’d write them one for $800. They got the money somehow and paid her, only for the apartment manager to tell them the letter was fraudulent and couldn’t be accepted. Now I’m just wondering how the hell they had $800 but I paid almost $300 for their “family” to have a couple hours at the pool? I don’t even have $800! I actually have much, much less than that until I get paid on Friday.
**I KNOW this is my fault, I KNOW I should have said no and set some boundaries. ** But with hearing how abusive B was to G over the phone situation, I felt it was unsafe to deny him anything lest he get violent. I don’t truly know if he is violent. G, I never feel afraid of. But this guy B just moves and talks like one of those people who are ready to get physical over any perceived slight. I was severely physically abused for 20 years so I am very averse to anything that even suggests that might trigger someone to hit me. D has been really disrespectful and additionally has made comments about my Spanish not being the best and how “us women should act”, when again, no one else is volunteering to take her to the fucking pool let alone provide housing.
Now B and his family are going to be kicked out of their hotel this weekend because my city’s anti-homeless program is just a ploy to get democrats to vote for the incumbent mayor. They don’t actually deliver on promises of stable housing and paths to citizenship, and here I am picking up the tab. G is worried sick about them, and at first I reluctantly agreed to him that they could stay with me in my 1 bedroom apartment. But realistically idk how long it would be for them to find stable housing, if ever. And I get the feeling they’re the kind of people who are content with having just their most basic needs met and aren’t motivated to seek more for their selves, so of course they’d be fine staying with me while I buy all their food and they use my electricity.
I talked with my main contact at the housing organization and we agreed that I would tell G I can’t host his “family” today. I’m so nervous of confrontation, especially when it means I have to disappoint somebody. I can understand why they would feel scared, their only other option is to sleep on the street. I really don’t care for the adults in this situation, but I don’t believe the kids deserve to be on the street. I’m not sure what will happen with them, but I am hoping CPS would at least take care of getting the kids into foster housing.
I am so utterly disappointed with both them and myself. Them, because I have consistently found that people who have also endured a lot of trauma (homeless or not, migrant or not, whatever) are usually the first to screw me over, take advantage of my kindness, lie, cheat, and steal. Things haven’t gotten that bad with them yet but I’m mad at myself for even letting things get this far. And I’m upset with myself because I know so many people, my own family included, who would make fun of me for being kind enough to want to help others avoid sleeping rough. So many people who would just point to this story and say this is all the more reason not to help anybody, that I’m an idiot for ever thinking someone else was worthy of dignity and grace. I know they’re wrong, I still don’t feel I am wrong for wanting to host G while he seeks asylum. But god damn it I have yet again been taken advantage of by people with a sob story. Tbh I don’t even know what qualifies B and his family as refugees. I know G’s story and it’s heartbreaking, but with how shitty B is I can’t help but think he must have been involved in something fucked up and that’s why there’s a price on his head. I don’t want to blame a victim, but his attitude and ungratefulness really makes it hard to have sympathy. Apparently he has also been threatening to leave his wife and children for a woman in another state who he’s never met, so I just don’t believe he is an innocent worthy of protecting. And I feel disgusted for myself for even admitting to feeling that way.

I think the problem with the current MEME plays is the Hedge Funds etc.. know how the game is being played.
An announcement is made on Reddit and the Apes buy as much as possible sometimes with huge resistance or without follow through from other supporters.
The first time the Hedgies were Unprepared, now they have all the MEME stocks on watch, including Reddit. When it is announced they short the heck out of the stock not to mention they are watching key levels. Trying to make it impossible for the normal trader to make a profit. After all the deck is stacked against us.
I propose instead of keeping the the same MEME stocks year after year it is rotated to new stocks. Then announcements are not made until everyone can get ready to pull the trigger, maybe even rotate the time frames. Morning, Noon, Before Close.

Hello everyone,
I am service connected currently for tension headaches aches/ migraines at 0%. I recently submitted an increase claim for this issue and others as well as a new claim for other issues. The VA combined these claims into one and rated to continue my current rating while some of my other issues have been deferred for secondary medical opinions and such.
My question is that I disagree with the 0% decision and have new and relevant medical evidence that supports an increase. Can I put in a supplemental claim or increase claim regarding this decision even though the rest of the claims have not been rated. I do have a decision letter regarding the continuation of the current rating. I am just confused on if I can challenge it now or do I have to wait for all of them to be rated ?
I apologize if any of this rant is confusing.
Thank you.

I am in the process of starting my AP application and I’m trying to gather the information/documents I need for it. I thought I would go the “visiting a sick family member” route and asked my cousin if she could help me obtain a letter and records from my grandfathers doctor stating my reason to go to Mexico and visit him.
Here’s my questions: Has anyone gone this route and gotten charged by a medical professional writing said letter and or document’s? If so, what was the amount charged? My cousin told me that the doctor told her it would be “a bit expensive” but let’s be honest that doesn’t help me at all.
Secondly: Should I be worried? For context, the doctor explained to my cousin that he wrote one of these letters recently and the family member in question was a patient of his whose son needed to do AP. The doctor wrote the letter, the AP was approved (to my knowledge) and upon return he was no longer allowed to the US. So, the doctor specifically asked my cousin to ask me what I need on that letter and to be very specific because he does not want the same thing happening to me.
I feel like I’m overthinking and the doctors letter most likely had nothing to do with that person not being allowed back in but still, this is my first time doing AP and I don’t want to fuck it up.
Thank you to anyone reading this, I look forward to any and all responses.

Guidelines for Startup India Seed Fund Scheme

1. Introduction

Easy availability of capital is essential for entrepreneurs at the early stages of
growth of an enterprise. Funding from angel investors and venture capital firms
becomes available to startups only after the proof of concept has been provided.
Similarly, banks provide loans only to asset-backed applicants. It is essential to
provide seed funding to startups with an innovative idea to conduct proof of
concept trials.
Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) aims to provide financial assistance to
startups for proof of concept, prototype development, product trials, market entry
and commercialization. This would enable these startups to graduate to a level
where they will be able to raise investments from angel investors or venture
capitalists, or seek loans from commercial banks or financial institutions.
The Seed Fund will be disbursed to eligible startups through eligible incubators
across India.

1. The Requirement

The Indian startup ecosystem suffers from capital inadequacy in the seed and
‘Proof of Concept’ development stage. The capital required at this stage often
presents a make or break situation for startups with good business ideas. Many
innovative business ideas fail to take off due to the absence of this critical capital
required at an early stage for proof of concept, prototype development, product
trials, market entry and commercialization. Seed Fund offered to such promising
cases can have a multiplier effect in validation of business ideas of many
startups, leading to employment generation.

I’m a freelance social media managepersonal assistant, and lately I’ve been looking for more clients since my boyfriend and I recently moved into a new apartment and money is tight.
I received a DM from a potential client yesterday, who was recommended to me from someone very close to me. He asked if I was free today for a meeting to discuss potentially working together. I agreed, and we set a time.
This morning I let my boyfriend know I was off to a meeting, and we said our “I love you’s” as I headed out. I didn’t specify that it was a potential new client because if I’m being honest, I am a bit of a hippy/superstitious and don’t like to “claim” things, or speak on them before they’re a “for sure” thing. Especially when it comes to work.
For example, a few weeks ago I had an interview for another position I really wanted, and I didn’t tell my partner or anyone until after the the interview was finished and had gone well.
It also just seemed like absolutely no biggie to simply tell him about it after the fact.
Well, unfortunately he sees it very differently!
I had my interview which was a bit long but went pretty well overall, and met up with another client for a quick meeting before picking up groceries and heading home.
When I got home, I said hi to my partner and pretty much immediately told him I had a meeting with a potential new client today. I was excited!
He seemed happy too, initially, but his mood pretty quickly shifted. He started asking questions about what we talked about, and kept saying “what else”, after I’d elaborate. He seemed frustrated so I asked what was wrong and he said:
“Nothing I just think it’s really weird that you didn’t tell me you had this meeting today”
I responded saying, “I thought I said I had a meeting earlier when I left.”
He said something like “yeah but you didn’t specify”
I was really having trouble understanding why he was so bothered, and I told him that, asking him if he could tell me more.
I explained about my superstition around new opportunities and not wanting to put too much weight in them or get too excited, but he just kept saying “it’s weird you didn’t tell me. It doesn’t build trust”
It started devolving into a back and forth argument so I just said “listen, if it’s really important to you I’m happy to let you know when i have meetings with new clients in the future”
He sort of huffed about, and didn’t respond. And I just said, “next time, I would appreciate you simply asking me for what you need rather than calling me weird. It feels judgemental and it doesn’t feel good.”
He didn’t acknowledge that but instead launched back into explaining why he thought I was weird for not telling him, and how my behaviour wasn’t “trust building”. It started turning into an argument again, so we agreed to stop discussing it and I just went to take a nap before cooking dinner.
The whole thing felt hugely confusing. I asked him if was worried about something else, or had fears about infidelity or something because his reaction seemed so harsh! He got extremely upset when I asked that and said “why would you say that?! That’s so weird that you would say that” but i honestly couldn’t think of any other reason why his reaction was so strong.
He said, “you’re telling me you wouldn’t be mad if i interviewed for a job and didn’t tell you before?!”
And i responded honestly, saying “no, it makes no difference to me if you tell me before or after! Of course I want to know but i don’t feel strongly about it”
He just said “no you wouldn’t, you would be mad” and basically said I was being disingenuous.
I’m just so confused. We’ve had our fair share of challenges and arguments in the past but this one is making my head spin.
Am I off base here? It honestly felt a bit controlling, and definitely confusing, but I’m very open to being wrong.
Thank you in advance for your feedback! ❤️
