So shes looking to cheat on you. Sack her off immediately.

If we break up, my housing situation becomes a thousand times worse than it already is.

Glob posted...

If shes in an open relationship that you didnt agree to, thats just infidelity.

She put the status as Open on her FB dating profile Is what I'm saying, so she's going around telling these people she is in an open relationship when I never agreed to that.

So I told her that I don't seem to remember agreeing to re opening the relationship, and that last time we talked about it, we agreed to keep it closed for now. She admitted she chose to open it herself when she signed up for FB Dating. I confronted her and well, she knows I'm hurt.

Am I an idiot for thinking this feels like a huge breach of trust? I'm really upset about this and don't know what to do. This almost feels like cheating. Is it just me?

Tldr: my memory sucks but I know the last talk we had about being open vs closed, we agreed to keep it closed for the time being. She admits to reopening the relationship without talking to me and I'm really upset about it.

I dont think I ever understood what that Saturn ring around Jimmys head is supposed to be

It is a retainer. They explain how he got it in a season 5 episode. Iirc it was from a mouth injury from a bowling accident

I'm more interested in the dom issue more than the poly stuff

Is the only viable way for your relationship to survive if you're a dom in the bedroom?

Can't you mix it up and be submissive? Or do away with the whole concept of dom/submissive for a little bit and simplify the sex a bit?

I get that she probably enjoys being submissive herself but to me it all seems a bit reductive to just be like "she needs dom. I must be dom" especially if you're not comfortable with it

She wants a D/s dynamic outside of the bedroom. Sex is just a bonus. She is into the whole lifestyle. I've been to a local BDSM club down here and really liked it.

I'm very interested in pursuing the dynamic which is why it's so frustrating that I can never seem to get there.

Lots of posts, damn. I just want to say

I got the impression that TC isn't so much upset because his girlfriend is seeing other people.

He's upset because those other people can fulfill the dom role and he can't.

It's them who he is jealous of.

This is spot on.

Some good replies here, but I am currently at the physical therapy office with my brother (he is finally getting something done about his chronic ear and dizziness issues), and I've been up since 2 PM yesterday and haven't slept yet so I'm too tired to sort through the posts.

Some of you guys are seeing right through me though, I know that much. Cold hard reality.

What are the reasons?

This is where it gets kind of long. And I'm typing on my phone.

We are in an open relationship. Monogamy kind of goes against what I believe. Every so often she will go to something like FB dating to chat up random people. She seems to attract doms a lot and I was supposed to be her dom from the start but I have failed miserably at it. I've tried so many times and I just can't do it. I get irrationally upset and angry when I see everyone else do it so easily and naturally. I get upset, jealous and angry.

It goes further than this but this is just the surface.

I struggle with this so much.

I really just want someone to talk to this about. I wasn't really ready to deal with this right now on top of everything else going on. I feel myself spiraling.

I can't really tldr this and I'm not trying to be vague, but I'm currently feeling jealousy towards my gf for reasons. Every time this happens I go down a spiral of self pity.

Daybreak 3. I'm gonna try to find a way to get it on day one.

It's alright, but I haven't been able to go out the last couple days because it's been raining almost nonstop.

Finished it. I almost cried a few times. This show hit a little TOO close to home.

I just randomly picked out the remake on Crunchyroll. I'd heard of the show in the past, but that was before the remake existed.

It's one of my favorite shows now. Even the English voice acting is high quality. I'm also impressed at how much effort went into its openings; almost every single one is good. This is definitely a show I would not recommend skipping over, it's great in so many ways.

So have you stayed with it or was this just a one and done?

I'm going back out tomorrow or the next day. I had to purchase a phone carrier for my bike and now I need something to hold my water.

Well I pulled it off but I was 40 minutes late and got a violation notice.

My friend pulled through and gave me the 1k, too.

I LOVE Xenoblade 2. It's leagues above 1 and 3. I will never in my life understand the hate. I'll go even further and say it's one of the best JRPGs I've played in recent years.

The same thing probably happens. This can be tested in like 20 minutes in the game itself by using the scarecrow.

Is there a way to set your delivery distance on the app? Or can you tell it you're on a bike or something?

Google AI says if you choose a bike as your vehicle the app automatically gives you the most bike friendly routes.

He really wants me to succeed. The catch is he is a Christian and he's helping me because he feels like God has called him out to do so. He is a good guy though. I invited him over a couple weekends ago and we had a blast.

I'm rooting for you because you only worked at Domino's for a week and that has been your only job in years.

I know things are tough but sometimes it seems like you don't actually put in the effort to help yourself. So I hope this works and we don't see a topic in a few days where you were delisted from the app for some reason after 1 day and are unable to do it. I'm sure this incentive from your friend is because he wants you to finally work in some type of capacity. I think you said before you had exhausted a lot of your friends ability to help out.

I truly am rooting for you for this to go your way. I'm still shocked you can't get a job at Wal-Mart like your girlfriend, or that you haven't tried to go back there. Man Wal-Mart in my area will hire anyone and often has a high turnover rate and realistically for my cheap cost of living area isn't even that bad of a job. They start around $17 I believe. I have known multiple people that worked there and it would probably be a lot more viable than Door Dash or Domino's

The friend who gave me 5k hasn't given up on helping me. He makes like 6k a month or something crazy like that.

I have reapplied for walmart and even went there in person. I'm pretty sure I know why they aren't hiring me atm.

Back when I had an Xbox One I did a trial for Gamepass for $1, just so I could play P4 Golden again. I finished it and unsubbed before the month was up.

ConfusedTorchic posted...

if your friend is offering you $1000 to work for doordash then that's an immediate red flag

He's my former roommate and he's been helping me survive for months. He's given me almost 5k altogether on cashapp just over the last 7 or so months.

He's offering 1k for me to learn how to ride and land a job by May 10th. He said Doordash does count, and only wants me to do one dash to get the money

I'm nervous, but I really want that 1k my friend is promising me. It's a good way to get my foot in the door too.

But I'm so afraid I'm going to get injured. I have a hard time staying completely straight, and biking against traffic is apparently against the law. You're supposed to follow normal traffic rules? But the problem is I have very little driving experience to begin with.

Maybe I should be talked out of this until I get more experience but idk

Will DoorDash allow you to deliver on a bicycle?

Yeah, I had food delivered to me via bike, and I signed up and already got approved.

I just cruised through my apartment complex like 5 times. I even made it over speed bumps and rugged pavement without falling.

I'm so proud of myself tbh. My former roommate, who has been helping me out all this time (he has given me almost 5k in the span of about 9 months), said if I can learn how to bike and do a successful DoorDash delivery by May 10th, he will give me 1k.

Guess who's about to go for that 1k? =D

Like, you make very little money off of them to begin with, but more than half the time you're kicked off of the survey half way through. What's the deal?

Trumpo posted...

What took you so long?

I didn't have money for a bike. My good friend/former roommate gave me the money for it like three weeks ago. And I've been trying to get around to it but I've had such little energy, physical and mental. I guess I was hit with a motivation spark when I realized it's not as hard as I was expecting.

If you mean what took me so long to learn, as a kid I was a wimp and didn't want anything to do with injuries. So I just opted out of learning.

Oh, he just thought that was mold on the muffins but they were just blueberries. I was over thinking it

Trails Into Reverie vs Trails of Cold Steel IV? I love every game in the series, but I agree.

CS4 was kinda mid. A bit too cheesy for me. But it does have excellent moments that stand out.

Have you ever skiied? Or gone snowboarding?

Braking and sharp turns can be used interchangeably in kjnd of the same way.

Lol no. I live in the very deep south where it's always hot.

Honestly, with how you always talk about how you can't keep a job due to lack of transportation, I have thought "just take a fucking bike". Well, now maybe you can. I feel for your situation, but I also feel you haven't been trying your utmost to fix it. This is a good step. Best of luck

True, but it takes monumental amounts of energy for me to even get out of bed. I'd say this is actually quite good progress.

This guy. Less than 2 hours of practice and I'm already pedaling forward for a decent distance.

The issue I'm having is with sharp turns and braking. But I am proud of myself for once.

My anxiety is still crippling me every day and I still barely sleep, and my life is still at a roadblock, but somehow I'm still here.

Hey I'm okay. Thanks for asking, it really means a lot.

No one mentioned Xenosaga 1 and 2, 2 separate ps2 games that came on 3 ps2 discs total, being ported to the DS, on one DS cartridge.

That's one DS cart. For 2 ps2 games. That came on 3 ps2 discs between them. On one DS cart.

That blew me away when I first found out. Then I actually played Xenosaga 1 and 2 on ps2 and... yeah. I get how that was possible now.

XS1+2 on DS is not a port, it's an entirely different game and actually overwrites the canon.

I don't know that it's fair to label the TC as a "professional victim". When someone has serious depression, (which it sounds like the TC definitely does), tasks that may seem easy or trivial to someone else can be absolutely monumental, or seem impossible, for them.
My point wasn't to judge the TC, but just to say that there are resources out there that could probably actually help out if he's willing to pursue it.

Yes I am definitely at that point. I already said I spend a lot of time sleeping over the last couple weeks.

My life's over until something changes, but making those changes feels like I'm climbing Mt Everest. Even the first step is like a steep cliff.

I also plan to call that 211 number tomorrow. Plan to, but if I'm thrown around 400 different directions right after I wake up, getting that energy is gonna be a struggle. But I think I can do it.

ItsNotA2Mer posted...

I'm sure I'll get piled on for this, but I'm going to give you some tough love here.
You've been creating these types of topics for a while now, and people here have given you some solid advice about things you can do to try and make you and your brothers situations more stable. The problem is, you always seem to come up with reasons why none of it will work before really even trying.
I get it, you're really going through it, (and it makes me sad that things aren't better for you and yours). But at some point you'll have to accept the fact that things won't just somehow magically get better, you have to do everything you can to try and get the help you need, (and as mentioned above, people have shared good resources with you in the past that you can and should tap into).
I know it's difficult for you, and I sincerely hope things head in a more positive direction, but it's going to take some directed effort. You can do this.

It's not that the resources don't help, it's that the ones I have mostly full control over don't actually do much to help my specific situation. Food is needed on a day to day basis, and I do take advantage of food banks when I can.

The ones that have the potential to turn my life around I can't get my brother to actually cooperate on in a reasonable way. For example he'd probably want to uber to and from all of those hospitals instead of taking the longer route (busses) for half of them. He wants the shortcutted route through life, and when he can't get that, he usually just stops trying.

It's not just him. There's a lot of people on this board who don't actually want advice, but instead want to milk whatever disaster they're going through. The fact that he's made at least 3 topics on the exact same subject in the past couple of days tells me he's more interested in getting attention than actually finding a workable solution.

Regardless of how legit or severe your current tragedy is, being a professional victim about it is an excellent way to lose sympathy.

Aside from occasionally being given financial help, I realize there's nothing CE can really do beyond what they've already done. You don't realize I'm treading very dangerous waters. My life is basically on the line now.

Apparently a lot of people recommend calling something called Unity as it is a non profit that works with many different homeless help groups so they can help figure out the best aid for different situations.

I'm gonna try the first one.

Another bad day coming. Gotta come up with even more money I don't have. It piles up and up.

Can't breathe. I don't have money to get by on a daily basis and everything around me is falling apart.

HudGard posted...

If you can get to a notary or have one come to you, would your brother sign a POA? Would help with the record collection and other things I imagine.

Sorry I havent been following your situation, so dont know the specifics, just throwing that out there.

I'm not sure what a POA is but I do know where a notary is. It sounds like something he would do. Getting there might be a problem now though.

Okay so I have like 10 minutes of lucidity in me right now.

I know being homeless is awful. I'm trying to avoid that scenario as much as possible. I just don't know what to do, there's no safe way out of my situation. I've lost nearly every component of who I am and I can barely manage to play a video game these days. I spend a fair bit of my free time laying in bed sleeping lately. I also barely eat because I just can't be bothered.

ai123 posted...

Except in extreme situations, such as a real risk of physical/mental harm, making yourself homeless is going to be a lot worse than whatever your current situation is.

It's also going to be a lot harder than claiming the support you are entitled to.

Idk man, I'm being mentally mind fucked every single day over here. It is chaotic and it's never gonna work out. I'm essentially fighting a losing battle in every way possible is how I see it.
