2023.06.04 20:22 endersgame69 Adopted By Humans VII C15
So, weeks passed us by, Michael pestered his mother and father often for genetic modification, but on this, there was no budging them. I will relay a little bit of how it went, and from there, just picture it over a period of weeks.
“We are not moving onto a military base just so that you can turn into the Extremely-Credible Hulk.” William emphasized while he was sitting at his work desk, he had a virtual reality set on and though I couldn’t see exactly what he was doing, it wasn’t hard to work out based on the way his hands moved.
He was doing some virtual typing and swiping through the AI design elements of the starbase to select adaptive modifications based on something Bonny Red sent to him.
What she sent, I don’t know. I just told him to do as he thought best.
I was at the coffee table in the kitchen watching Michael argue with his father.
“But da-a-a-ad, I really, really want it!” He insisted.
“And I really…really don’t want to move. It’s military base testing only, Michael. You’ll be put in separate classes from all your friends, not just for the offline portion, but for the online ones too.” Rebecca chimed in from the next room. Her own remote connection in the living room let her hear everything that was going on, and she was quick to back up her husband.
Michael was sullen, frustrated, and I thought I understood it. But the notion of leaving his friends behind wasn’t a happy one. While on the Red Spark he’d made friends with a number of children his age. From my perspective as a dlamisa, they were vital connections that should not be severed lightly, one never knew when a favor would be needed. Even if he lacked the innate genius of his elder sister, if my observations were correct, he was a talented boy with an adaptable mind and could go far in life with the right help.
Still, I didn’t say anything.
The fact that such modified children were separated from others wasn’t as bad as it sounds. The concern was simply that because their strength was growing much faster, that they might not know innately how to control it and therefore injure someone else, perhaps severely.
Ergo, temporary separation, observation, and then gradual reintegration into the more normal offline socialization done from their online schools.
“I know but… but I really want it. And I won’t be away from my friends forever… it’s just a year, and we can stay in touch in other ways…”
So, round and round they went, for weeks.
And if I may admit my foibles without shame, I, like the others, was convinced that it was just because he lost that final match.
It wasn’t until eight weeks later that Rebecca finally snapped, “We’re not going to move just so you can be better at fighting!”
“That’s not why I want it!” Michael shouted… his face was flushed red and his lower lip trembled… Michael did not shout, he was not an angry boy…
“So why then?” William asked, leaving his desk and coming to where his growing boy stood shaking with his fists clenched, he crouched down and asked at eye level with his son, “Tell us, why really?”
“So I don’t ever have to run away again! Like we did when we lived with the Aunt Bonny!” Michael shouted.
I never really thought about it at the time, it just seemed like Michael had been enjoying his stay on the Red Spark. But now, having heard him say that?
The house was quiet. Very quiet.
“Michael, those times are over…” William squeezed his son’s shoulder and Rebecca removed her headset to look their way.
“Your father is right, those people are gone and they’re never coming back. Everything is fine. Trust us.” She said gently, I could see she wanted to rise, to move, but in this it seemed Michael favored his father, so she waited, and let her husband speak.
“It is, I promise. There’s nothing to worry about and everybody is going to work hard to make sure things stay that way, OK? Do you trust us?” William asked and held his son’s gaze with his own.
There could be entire studies done on this exact scene, and nothing more. Rebecca’s deferral to her husband drew much commentary, and I think it comes down to natural divide that seems to occur between parents and children.
It is not simply that sometimes one child is ‘favored’ over the other by a parent. It is that children see their parents in different ways. William was never a large man, he was fit for his age, but hardly a warrior specimen despite his military past.
But fathers in human society serve as the models of young men more often than not, and dealing with danger is something frequently romanticized as a ‘male’ ideal. The desire to be a hero and save the day is little buried in them, and as the larger of the pair, it was natural that he would be seen as a source of greater security.
This sometimes seems at odds with the male predisposition for danger tolerance. It is similarly at odds with Rebecca’s own personality, which ‘tends’ toward being very vocal and opinionated. I maintain that her silence was due to a recognition that Michael was starting to identify more with his father, which is a common part of the maturing process for small humans, and she chose not to interfere with that development.
Of Michael, I could say that he was… very much like his sister. Fauve had no interest in genetic augmentation as he did, but if you consider the course of her career as it was currently progressing, it was just war and aggression by other means. She wanted to crush the xenophobes utterly, even more than they already were, which was saying something, since most ended up dead in the Silent Civil War.
Michael’s influences were not media experts like Teresa and Percival. His influences were military. Byron, Boatswain, Genghis, Iskandar, and it was showing.
What I also understood was this… that even though a child might not be of an age to understand the full nature of circumstances, that does not make them fully ignorant. Michael’s formative years of childhood were born out of an attempt on his very life. I doubt very much Fauve ever showed him her video work…
But by now? At this age? He was forming vast reasoning capabilities and he could reflect on memories that were still there, retroactively coming to conclusions and learning from those around him. Not to mention he was surely able to pick up on the tension in the family.
I concluded one thing… if they wouldn’t let him get a genetic modification now, he would just get one later. I think, for better or for worse, the course of his life was now set, and there was one clear direction for it to go.
“I still want it,” He said, and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
His parents sighed together.
William’s head slumped and his arm relaxed though his hand did not let go of Michael’s shoulder.
“We can’t just ‘move’. The only people who get these things are those who go into space or who live on a military base, and we don’t have either. When you’re older, if you insist, after the human trials are done…” William looked over his shoulder toward his wife, she gave a subtle nod in his direction.
“We can revisit this and see about it.” William finished, “If you feel that strongly about it.”
Michael seemed to sense that he was not going to get any farther with them, and so he nodded. “OK, dad, mom.”
There were a few hugs traded after that, not as much as when he was smaller, as he was starting to grow up, little by little, and the same need for physical touch wouldn’t exist, at least not in the same way or same frequency.
But when he grew up, I wondered, would I see him as the adult? Or the boy?
I couldn’t know the answer to that question, but whatever the answer, I was sure I’d look back on days like this one, quite fondly.

2023.06.04 20:22 nozomi_komiya We had been through a lot and love each other no doubt but is love really enough to keep a relationship going?
My heart has been really heavy lately and advice needed
Me, [24F] and My boyfriend, [23M] have been together for more than 2 years now. We have been living together at their family's house for the duration of our relationship but in a way we have our own space. Both our families are really supportive of us.
Our relationship was really great but lately things have been really hard for us. He has this younger brother who has a very complicated relationship na minsan nadadamay na kami, as much as we try na lumayo but still nadadamay kami. We thought naman of moving out before, and getting our own place but he isn't still ready financially, emotionally and to leave his family yet, which I understand naman. We also tried before to live in my parents house for 2 months kaso hindi nag work.
My boyfriend is a fresh graduate, the first year of our relationship he was a graduating student, I have a job (nightshift) so I was the one responsible sa bills namin and food. We also had a small business at that time that helped us with our expenses. This set-up worked for us. Tulungan kami. Minsan nakakatravel pa kami pag may bonus ako nakukuha. We were really happy. He graduated, then he had 2 jobs that didn't work out then I told him na it's okay to resign if it's not for you. Don't get pressured darating din ang para sayo. But when he had no job for almost 2 months he really became depressed and it took a toll on our relationship. Kahit anong motivate ko sakanya na okay lang yan nagsisimula ka palang ganyan talaga. But siguro andon na ung questions nya sa sarili nya kung bakit ganun. I was still there beside him to support him through his tough times.
But we eventually overcame that, he already has work for 2 months now and napasa nya pa yung napolcom exam nya. I was really happy for him.
I am still an undergraduate, but I have a stable job naman. andon ung what ifs. And mayron pa time na narinig ko sinabi ng lola/papa nya about me (hindi si bf kausap nila) "Hindi pa naman nakatapos yan, ganun talaga pag walang pinagaralan walang alam." Which really hurt kasi pag kaharap ko sila okay naman. I cried so hard and asked him na baka pwede naman nya ako ipaglaban sakanila since ako ipaglalaban ko sya sa lahat. Next day he asked them what that is about, but they just reasoned out and said its not meant for me. I felt like My bf lowkey believed them. He did not say it directly to me but thats what I felt. But he said to me na baka talaga hindi namin mapipigilan magkaroon ng mga mapanghusgang tao sa paligid kami na ang bahala magchange ng mindset namin at wag intindihin ang sinasabi ng ibang tao and focus lng saamin at sa sarili. Ganun din siguro talaga may masasabi at masasabi ang iba.
Minsan napagusapan namin kung asan kami sa relationship namin, ako kasi all in ako and I love so intensely talaga na handa ako igive up ang lahat. But when I asked him, his answer was mid lang sya, Kumbaga wala pa sya doon sa point na all in siya na handa syang magsarili kami para malayo sa gulo ng paligid. But I never doubted his love for me, and ilang beses na din namin nasabi na sure na kami sa isat isa and ayaw na namin maghanap ng iba. He is also loyal, alam kong ako lang.
Madalas nasa phone sya or ML wala man lang yung effort to spend time with me. Minsan lalabas kami kailangan ako pa ang magyayaya or else wala. Andaming kulang talaga but iniintindi ko naman kasi iniisip ko ok naman sya in some aspects. I am a very vocal person and sinasabi ko sakanya ung problems namin, but most of the time he just listens no response at all. He dont know what to say or how to react or maybe he is scared to say something bad that will make the situation worst. Idk. But Ganun kasi sya he is very quiet and an introvert person ganun ko sya nakilala.
We also had small problems with money recently kasi may usapan kami na pag nagkawork sya, sya muna ang sa bills namin ilaw tubig para kahit papaano makaipon muna ako since duration of our relationship halos ako (kahit he still helped me naman sa small business namin noon). But parang nafeel ko na nagtatago sya ng pera sa akin, kasi cash sweldo nya and instead of itago nya dinadala nya pa araw ataw, hindi ko naman pinapakialaman pera nya ang sabi ko pa delikado dalhin yun mas ok na ideposit nya nalang sa bank, dati may sinabi sya sakin na ang sweldo nya daw ibibigay nya sakin para daw di sya mambabae which is joke nya noon hahahaha pero wala naman I tried asking him bakit nya tinatago ang sabi nya ayaw nya daw dumating sa point na manghihingi daw sya pamasahe sakin, and wag ko daw sya pipigilan sa sweldo nya kasi sana daw di nalang sya sumweldo. Pero ayoko lang kasi ng ganun na nagtatago kasi ako very open ako sa sweldo ko and money ko sakanya.
I also wanted to mention that I am struggling with my health as of the moment kasi dapat for operation ako for my ovarian mass but i still set it aside since di pa ako ready and magpaopera
I gave him everything without him even asking for it because I loved him. Minsan narealize ko din na ako nalang yung nalaban, gagawin nya yung mga bagay pag sinabi ko, walang kusa na nanggaling sakanya. One time I asked him if he regretted anything with our relationship if naiisip nya maging single, he told me na no naman he didnt regret being a relationship with me, but he thought na sana daw pala bago sya pumasok sa relasyon ay nakilala nya muna mabuti ung sarili nya and he became stable enough to handle our relationship ng tama. Kasi pag nawala daw ako he will regret everything and he doesnt want to see me with someone else. He is aware of his shortcomings but I felt like minsan hindi nya alam paano itama yung shortcomings nya.
We almost ended our relationship recently, but after talking deeply we decided to still try kasi sobrang sayang. We see ourselves together and don't want to look for someone else, it's just that we still have to grow as individuals to know ourselves a bit more para pagdating nung time na ready na kami to go on the next level of our relationship stable na kami sa sarili namin.
But because of this recent events andami kong narealize, uunahin ko muna sarili ko yung health ko ayusin ko and pursigihin makapagtapos. In terms of boyfriends effort, siguro bahala na hayaan ko sya magkusa gawin ang mga bagay just to see if how will he handle it. Di na ako magsasabi na magdate kami or gawin nya yung ganito ganyan. Now, I am back at my parents house temporarily for a few weeks (para magpamiss char) because nandito ung obgyne ko and inaasikaso ko na ung check ups ko to see if may improvements sa health ko and if need pa magpaopera. I am enjoying my alone time to be honest and isa isa ko minemeet yung group of friends ko din to catch up since im here sa hometown ko. Sya naman nagstart na sya mag gym 2 weeks ago. We chat from time to time but I felt like he doesnt even try calling me or vc. I try to be cold sa mga responses ko para mamiss nya ako. But then baka baliktad kasi kami dayshift sya night shift ako baka siguro ganun.

2023.06.04 20:22 Corsaer All 40K titles on sale on audible 50% off at a minimum right now.
The sale is going for a handful more days and is 50-85% off, making a lot of books well under the value of a credit ($~15 at the basic tier). This includes some 40K books. Unfortunately most of them are expensive enough that they are sitting at $14, which isn't enough for me to go ham on. But some are cheaper, like the Primarch Series, which clock in at $10 at 50% off.
Some smaller series and individual full length titles also are around that $10. Most short stories are around $5, while 30m shorts are <$2.
Just wanted to give people a heads up that if they've got audible and have a bunch of 40K novels wishlisted, it's a good time to check and see if any of those are discounted enough to feel like pulling the trigger!

2023.06.04 20:22 redditThrowawayBPD The letter I'll never send her
"Don't you miss me at all? Or anything we had?"
No, I don't. The fact that you think I would just reaffirms my knowledge that you have no idea how bad it was for me. You have no idea what you did. You have no idea how angry I am at you. I didn't know I was capable of being this furious. You cannot comprehend it. My life is better now that you are out of it, now that you live two thousand miles away.
I can't tell you any of this because it wouldn't help you to know, it would only make you more depressed. And despite everything you did to me, I still want you to get better. I don't want to hurt you. So I'll write the hurtful things down here instead of telling you, to get it out of my own head.
You are lazy, careless, inconsiderate, disrespectful, and immature. Your meltdowns are disturbing to witness. Your lies are pathetic, your gaslighting is pathetic, your life is pathetic. You throw a temper tantrums when I try to help you organize your life, when I try to help you to confront and fix your problems, when I try to help you accomplish your own tasks. You cannot handle even the most basic adult responsibilities. You want me to be flirty and romantic, like it was in the beginning. You want me to pretend like your addictions don't exist, like you do. You want me to pretend everything is fine, as if you aren't destroying your life right in front of me.
I can't do fun and flirty any longer. The brutal truth is I am not attracted to you anymore. I know it would be impossible for you to believe. You've never met a guy who wasn't attracted to you. I'm sure that contributes to some of your problems. You have such massive contradictions between your mindset, confidence, and depression.
Your chaotic behavior and terrible attitude confused me so much. It haunted me even when I wasn't around you. I couldn't stop thinking about you, in a bad way. However, I was so confident that I could help you, that I could show you the correct way to live, a better lifestyle than what you had. How stupid and naïve of me. Every time you failed it was like a punch in my gut, in my confidence. Why does she not listen to me? How can she not see the wisdom of my advice? Can she not see the benefits of my lifestyle? Am I not setting a perfect example for her? Why does she keep making the worst choices? Why can't she follow simple instructions?
I didn't understand.
I think and think and think, trying to comprehend. I think about it so hard I can't sleep. I cannot describe it. This analogy occurred to me. You are like a child. You have the stupidity of a 5 year old with none of the innocence. And you forced me to be your parent. You want me to still date you, to be romantic and soft. But if a child is standing on the edge of a balcony the parent can't tell them "good job!" If a child is about to touch a hot stove the parent can't say "you do you!" If child is running with scissors, the parent doesn't say "You're a winner!"
I figure that having a child is one of those human experiences that can only be truly understood by actually having one. But I find myself in the strange situation where I think I do understand it without having an kid. I think I have the hurt of a parent who feels like they failed as a parent. The parent of a child who's life went off the deep end, where they ended up dead or in prison. I feel like I could have done better. If only I had spotted your addiction sooner. If only I had been paying more attention and seen the truth through your lies. If only I had been harsher or controlling. If only I had realized the severity of your mental health early.
I honestly feel like I understand the pain and anguish of one of those parents who accidentally left their infant in a hot car. I swear to god it hurts like that.
I've since read the drowning analogy as well. And it is so accurate. You were drowning and I tried to rescue you. But instead of allowing me to help, you only tried to drown me as well. I had to give up, push you away, save myself, and watch you drown.
Do you remember the last day I saw you? The day I came to take you to a meeting? It was at noon but you couldn't even get up, you wouldn't get up. You promised me you'd go. I told you I'd go with you. You said you wanted to see me. But when the time came you were a different person. You couldn't get out of bed or get ready at all. Less than 24 hours after telling me you'd do anything to see me again, you were yelling and screaming and telling me to fuck off. Hours after telling me you loved me and that the meetings were important to you, you were telling me that you didn't care about the meetings and didn't care about me.
I was just sitting in the car, devastated. I had tried everything. That was my last attempt. And I know it was really you failing but I swear to god, it felt like it was me who failed. I have never felt so defeated in my entire life.
I came up to say goodbye the last time. I know you thought I was sad because you were moving soon and I wouldn't see you again. That's your narcissism showing. No, that wasn't it. I was destroyed that my efforts were so ineffective. It's devastating to try at at something with everything you have and to fall short. I was sad because I knew what was going to happen to you. I can see the future. I know what you're life will be like. Whether it's short or long, I know it will be miserable. And I couldn't stop it. You wouldn't let me stop it.
After some time of observing you and wading through your lies, I realized you were an addict. I knew you would end up broke. I knew you would lose your job. I knew you would get in a car accident. I predicted every single thing that happened. And I know what will happen to you next. And I know I can't do anything to stop it. And it tears me apart. It fucks me up.
You ask why I'm "punishing" you by ignoring you now. Once again revealing an incorrect mindset. Are you punishing every stray cat you don't adopt? Are you punishing the guy on the corner when you give him $100 and not $1000? Are your parents punishing you when they provide you food and shelter and love but don't buy you a car and a house? Get that shit out of your head. Nobody is punishing you. Nobody has wronged you. In fact, the opposite is true.
When you stole money from me multiple times and lied to my face about it, I briefly thought I might be dealing with a legitimate psychopath. You are not though. A psychopath wouldn't have been so stupid about it. However you do have the same issue with remorse. You say you're sorry all the time. But you're not really. You never mean it. Real apologies are accompanied by change. You refuse to change. You don't even try. You'll never pay back the money you stole. It's betrayal at the deepest level. And it makes me hate you.
You refuse to go to meetings for your addiction. You refuse to go to therapy. You repeat the same shit over and over again.
You've told me you think I must be in love with you, because I tried so hard to help you and didn't cut you off like you knew you deserved. I've been too nice to tell you how laughable that is. I never was your boyfriend, I've never been your boyfriend. We never dated. It was a casual thing. You made it more in your own head. It was only drawn out because you stole thousands of dollars from me. I was involuntarily invested in your recovery for the sake of collecting on your debt.
You once were sobbing in my arms, lamenting your fuckups and insisting you were not a bad person. It's sad to see the stories you tell yourself. You live in a fantasy world. And you can't escape. Because you don't want to.

2023.06.04 20:22 Throwaway-Eel02928 My brother is living his best life and i don't know what to feel
TW: SH, graphic details
Obviously a throwaway account but I have always wanted to say this out loud even if just online. No one knows about this, not even my partner or family members.
I (F25) have vivid memories as a child wherein my brother (our eldest, now 35) asked me to suck his nipples while he masturbates. I never really understood what that meant and why I had to do it, I was probably only 5 (?) years old. I never questioned it or told anyone about it since it felt normal, it was like an afternoon routine every other day. I also recall that he always asks me to wear something short or skimpy like a skirt whenever we do that. We would be in bed together and he is laying down while he jerks off and I just sit right next to him while doing the stuff. At first he hid his genitals with a pillow but later on he stopped hiding it. He never touched me, he just made me suck his nipples or lick his body until he came. That went on for years up until I was 7-8ish years old.
My other sibling is a girl too and I recall that one time wherein he asked one of my sisters and I to do that to him simultaneously. So I know for a fact he did this to my other sister too but we never brought it up to each other, EVER, even now as adults.
I know it happened years ago but it's just recently I realized how fucked up that was. I spent days crying my eyes out. This is not the only instance wherein I was sexually assaulted by a family member.
We're in a big family and I'm the youngest in us siblings but we all practically have our own lives now. We get together during holidays and important family events and my brother is living his best life. I just don't feel genuinely happy about it, all his achievements in life seem so hollow and hypocritical (new house, great career, beautiful family, basically travel and do anything without worrying financially).He works for the state. I've been trying to come up with ways not to attend our family reunions (I didn't attend last year's xmas and new year's eve) and I'm running out of excuses.
Now the thing is, he's such a great great great person overall and to be honest, he's an incredible brother and son. He's like the dream son of any Filipino parent. It's only recent when I decided to stop talking to him but he's been an important person in my life that I look up to. That's why I'm having this kind of cognitive dissonance because I keep thinking that he was not the monster he was when he harassed me as a child AND his current "public" self. It's like two different people.
I have no plans on telling anyone because no one will believe me. I am nothing compared to the prestige, influence, and power that he has. I just want to finally get this weight off my chest.

2023.06.04 20:21 maverick4090 What should I tell my friends?
I recently turned off notifications and closed the chat thread I share with 2 of my 3 besties. They aren't communicating differently than usual but I've found that my ability to keep up with the thread (they chat a LOT) and respond meaningfully has been greatly diminished. When I do try to engage, I get very irritable and end up closing the thread and ignoring it for a while. The last time I checked in with them, it had been 2 days since I texted which is extremely unusual and one of them said they were considering calling the non-emergency number to have a welfare check done on me. lol.
I have a wife and 2 kids and I recently went back to school for a BA in music production. Honestly, my social bucket is kept nice and full just hearing about my wife's day, interacting with my kids' teachers and friends' parents, and shooting a text off to my other friend who I've known since high school every few weeks or so. Is it possible that the addition of small bits of social engagement throughout the week at school has eaten up the energy I have available for my friends?
I've always preferred solitude and, as you might imagine, I don't get much of it living with a family of 4 in a small house. The alone time I do get is currently spent making music and doing homework. Checking in with my buddies is the absolute last thing on my mind. It makes me feel like a jerk because they both genuinely care about me and they're so used to me maintaining that connection. I'm not sure if I should try to muster the energy and continue going through the motions or, like, is there a nice way to say "I love you guys but I want nothing to do with you right now"?

2023.06.04 20:21 riemann_surface_ I think I hate my dad because of his behaviour
My parents only completed primary school, and my dad is 11 years older than my mom. Despite the economic difficulties, they managed to improve their situation and buy a house. However, when my mom was pregnant with my younger sister, my dad cheated on her with one of his best friends. Although my mom confronted him, she decided to forgive him. Despite their reconciliation, everything got worse when my mom realized that my dad had given all our savings to the woman he cheated with.
Our situation deteriorated, and we lost our house. We had to move to a smaller city where we experienced our most difficult moments, to the point where we sometimes didn't have enough to eat. Once again, through great effort, we managed to return to our city. However, later on, we discovered that my dad was still in contact with that woman and was even giving her money. Nevertheless, my mom forgave him once again.
We have realized over the years that he has cheated on her with other women as well, and it has been very painful for us.
A few days ago, our neighbor had an accident and broke his leg. Years ago, I also broke my leg, so I had kept some crutches. When I found out about our neighbor's situation, I decided to lend them to him. Strangely enough, my dad strongly insisted that I shouldn't give them to him, to the point where I didn't lend them. The next morning, when I woke up, I realized the crutches were gone, and my dad had specifically given them to the neighbor's sister. It was all part of a plan because he likes her.
The most painful part is that both my mom and dad are very sexist. I have had to endure my dad's complaints about having to buy my food. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, he always got annoyed whenever he had to buy things he considered "useless" like feminine towels, shampoo, or even underwear. Of course, he knows they are not useless; it's just an excuse he uses to have money to buy his own clothes because he likes to dress well.
Despite everything, my mom keeps forgiving him and working hard to support the family, as he always claims to have no money, although we don't know how he spends it. I feel resentment towards my dad for his behavior, but I also feel frustrated with my mom for not making the decision to leave him.
What do you I should do?. I feel like I can't trust any man, that no one will value me because if my dad didn't love me or my family, no one will.
TL;DR: Due to my dad's infidelity and selfishness, my family and I have faced many economic difficulties. My mom refuses to divorce him despite his numerous affairs, which has caused my sister and me to suffer from neglect and deprivation for all these years. I'm desperate and don't know what to do. Should I feel guilty for hating my dad? I don't know how to improve this situation and stop suffering. I don't want to live with him anymore, but I don't want to abandon my mom. I need some advice

2023.06.04 20:21 VenomBound I got some guppies and a free P. Jungle Boogie at a fish event yesterday and I think this is officially my favorite tank!
| The guppies are just in this 6 gallon temporarily until my 10 gallon is free…Currently it’s housing a crayfish that will be going to live with a friend. But I’m going to try my best to recreate this jungle appearance in the 10 gallon! I’m just obsessed with these guppies, they are so pretty and I’ve wanted guppies since I got my first fish. I’m struggling with names for these three though so any suggestions are welcome! I’m thinking some kind of theme, maybe fruit names? The event was put on by Joes Shrimp Shack in Plymouth MN btw, it was so fun and I loved talking to all the vendors! submitted by VenomBound to Aquariums [link] [comments] |
2023.06.04 20:21 nozomi_komiya We had been through a lot and love each other no doubt but is love really enough to keep a relationship going?
My heart has been really heavy lately and advice needed
Me, [24F] and My boyfriend, [23M] have been together for more than 2 years now. We have been living together at their family's house for the duration of our relationship but in a way we have our own space. Both our families are really supportive of us.
Our relationship was really great but lately things have been really hard for us. He has this younger brother who has a very complicated relationship na minsan nadadamay na kami, as much as we try na lumayo but still nadadamay kami. We thought naman of moving out before, and getting our own place but he isn't still ready financially, emotionally and to leave his family yet, which I understand naman. We also tried before to live in my parents house for 2 months kaso hindi nag work.
My boyfriend is a fresh graduate, the first year of our relationship he was a graduating student, I have a job (nightshift) so I was the one responsible sa bills namin and food. We also had a small business at that time that helped us with our expenses. This set-up worked for us. Tulungan kami. Minsan nakakatravel pa kami pag may bonus ako nakukuha. We were really happy. He graduated, then he had 2 jobs that didn't work out then I told him na it's okay to resign if it's not for you. Don't get pressured darating din ang para sayo. But when he had no job for almost 2 months he really became depressed and it took a toll on our relationship. Kahit anong motivate ko sakanya na okay lang yan nagsisimula ka palang ganyan talaga. But siguro andon na ung questions nya sa sarili nya kung bakit ganun. I was still there beside him to support him through his tough times.
But we eventually overcame that, he already has work for 2 months now and napasa nya pa yung napolcom exam nya. I was really happy for him.
I am still an undergraduate, but I have a stable job naman. andon ung what ifs. And mayron pa time na narinig ko sinabi ng lola/papa nya about me (hindi si bf kausap nila) "Hindi pa naman nakatapos yan, ganun talaga pag walang pinagaralan walang alam." Which really hurt kasi pag kaharap ko sila okay naman. I cried so hard and asked him na baka pwede naman nya ako ipaglaban sakanila since ako ipaglalaban ko sya sa lahat. Next day he asked them what that is about, but they just reasoned out and said its not meant for me. I felt like My bf lowkey believed them. He did not say it directly to me but thats what I felt. But he said to me na baka talaga hindi namin mapipigilan magkaroon ng mga mapanghusgang tao sa paligid kami na ang bahala magchange ng mindset namin at wag intindihin ang sinasabi ng ibang tao and focus lng saamin at sa sarili. Ganun din siguro talaga may masasabi at masasabi ang iba.
Minsan napagusapan namin kung asan kami sa relationship namin, ako kasi all in ako and I love so intensely talaga na handa ako igive up ang lahat. But when I asked him, his answer was mid lang sya, Kumbaga wala pa sya doon sa point na all in siya na handa syang magsarili kami para malayo sa gulo ng paligid. But I never doubted his love for me, and ilang beses na din namin nasabi na sure na kami sa isat isa and ayaw na namin maghanap ng iba. He is also loyal, alam kong ako lang.
Madalas nasa phone sya or ML wala man lang yung effort to spend time with me. Minsan lalabas kami kailangan ako pa ang magyayaya or else wala. Andaming kulang talaga but iniintindi ko naman kasi iniisip ko ok naman sya in some aspects. I am a very vocal person and sinasabi ko sakanya ung problems namin, but most of the time he just listens no response at all. He dont know what to say or how to react or maybe he is scared to say something bad that will make the situation worst. Idk. But Ganun kasi sya he is very quiet and an introvert person ganun ko sya nakilala.
We also had small problems with money recently kasi may usapan kami na pag nagkawork sya, sya muna ang sa bills namin ilaw tubig para kahit papaano makaipon muna ako since duration of our relationship halos ako (kahit he still helped me naman sa small business namin noon). But parang nafeel ko na nagtatago sya ng pera sa akin, kasi cash sweldo nya and instead of itago nya dinadala nya pa araw ataw, hindi ko naman pinapakialaman pera nya ang sabi ko pa delikado dalhin yun mas ok na ideposit nya nalang sa bank, dati may sinabi sya sakin na ang sweldo nya daw ibibigay nya sakin para daw di sya mambabae which is joke nya noon hahahaha pero wala naman I tried asking him bakit nya tinatago ang sabi nya ayaw nya daw dumating sa point na manghihingi daw sya pamasahe sakin, and wag ko daw sya pipigilan sa sweldo nya kasi sana daw di nalang sya sumweldo. Pero ayoko lang kasi ng ganun na nagtatago kasi ako very open ako sa sweldo ko and money ko sakanya.
I also wanted to mention that I am struggling with my health as of the moment kasi dapat for operation ako for my ovarian mass but i still set it aside since di pa ako ready and magpaopera
I gave him everything without him even asking for it because I loved him. Minsan narealize ko din na ako nalang yung nalaban, gagawin nya yung mga bagay pag sinabi ko, walang kusa na nanggaling sakanya. One time I asked him if he regretted anything with our relationship if naiisip nya maging single, he told me na no naman he didnt regret being a relationship with me, but he thought na sana daw pala bago sya pumasok sa relasyon ay nakilala nya muna mabuti ung sarili nya and he became stable enough to handle our relationship ng tama. Kasi pag nawala daw ako he will regret everything and he doesnt want to see me with someone else. He is aware of his shortcomings but I felt like minsan hindi nya alam paano itama yung shortcomings nya.
We almost ended our relationship recently, but after talking deeply we decided to still try kasi sobrang sayang. We see ourselves together and don't want to look for someone else, it's just that we still have to grow as individuals to know ourselves a bit more para pagdating nung time na ready na kami to go on the next level of our relationship stable na kami sa sarili namin.
But because of this recent events andami kong narealize, uunahin ko muna sarili ko yung health ko ayusin ko and pursigihin makapagtapos. In terms of boyfriends effort, siguro bahala na hayaan ko sya magkusa gawin ang mga bagay just to see if how will he handle it. Di na ako magsasabi na magdate kami or gawin nya yung ganito ganyan. Now, I am back at my parents house temporarily for a few weeks (para magpamiss char) because nandito ung obgyne ko and inaasikaso ko na ung check ups ko to see if may improvements sa health ko and if need pa magpaopera. I am enjoying my alone time to be honest and isa isa ko minemeet yung group of friends ko din to catch up since im here sa hometown ko. Sya naman nagstart na sya mag gym 2 weeks ago. We chat from time to time but I felt like he doesnt even try calling me or vc. I try to be cold sa mga responses ko para mamiss nya ako. But then baka baliktad kasi kami dayshift sya night shift ako baka siguro ganun.

2023.06.04 20:20 shostako Does this seem ok?
Landlord got us a new range and stove for our house built in the 50s/60s. We saw the age of the range outlet. It is 4 prongs but we are concerned about the condition of it and if it presents an electrical hazard.
