2023.03.20 16:42 Prestigious-Junket44 Diet and excessive routine for maximum detox.
Throwaway. Interviewing for a job that does drug test, problem is I’m a ten year chronic cannabis user and research says that takes at most 90 days to detox. So I’ve been doing research on the proper diet and exercise and obviously one point of research would be asking this sub.
If I were to get the job I don’t know when I’d be test it but I know I have at least around ten days to detox. I have alternatives if I can’t detox by then but I’m not interested in using my plan b as a go to. So what is a good exercise and diet regime to get maximize the potential of a complete detox?
If it matters I am around 5’8 140. Not the most active lifestyle until I found out about the drug test.

2023.03.20 16:41 Ameritiktokracy How should I handle being married to someone who I think isn't a great wife?
I've been married to my wife for 16 years and we've been together for 20 years. We're in our late 30's, early 40's. We have one kid who is fairly young and I'm continually bothered by the idea that my wife isn't really that good of a wife and she isn't a good team member.
I genuinely enjoy her personality and love her presence; it's weird but I only dwell on the bad stuff when she's not around and I'm pretty happy when she is around. Overall, I'm nagged by some generalities that I believe to be true. Of course, I'm focusing only on the negatives here, so it seems one-sided, but there's a lot of positives. In general, the negatives are:
She generally doesn't do anything to help me and rarely if ever does anything nice for me. We almost got a divorce at one point because I spent two weeks of my free time putting in a new floor (that she wanted) in some of our bedrooms and I was out of clean underwear in my drawers so I was having to come downstairs every morning to get the clean underwear (that I had washed). I asked her if she could put away my laundry so I didn't have to walk around our house naked every morning and she rudely said, "I'm not doing your laundry." That wasn't the only reason, but more like the straw that broke the camel's back for me to bring up the idea of divorce to the point of filling out paperwork and discussing how we were going to split finances and custody. It was also shortly after the death of my only parent and she was very insensitive to my loss and after I flew home from the funeral she asked, "Did you even cry?" Sure, I don't show a lot of emotion as I'm fairly stoic, but I thought that was rude, insensitive, and totally uncalled for. Of course, we ended up not getting a divorce, mainly because every time I agreed on a number to pay her out, she would raise the amount again, partly due to the encouragement of her mother (I saw her texts). Her mom was buying her divorce books (that I found in the closet) and that lead to me hating her mom (on principle) and she hasn't been over to our house since then and I haven't seen her since then (about 4 years ago).
I found out several years ago that she is kind of a compulsive liar and she was telling her mom a bunch of untrue things about me to presumably gain sympathy. Things such as, I never help out around the house or with our kid, I'm bipolar, that I'm going to therapy with a men's help group, and odd things like I bought Christmas cookie cutters and used them to make Christmas cookies with our kid. I also found out she lied about a big wreck on a highway and a parking lot confrontation. I found this all out because she had a dash cam with audio and I wanted to see this huge crash she witnessed so I pulled the SD card to look through the video and found out how much she lies while she talked on the phone while driving. I did confront her about all of this but she has an inability to admit to the fact that she lies, and of course she tore out her dash cam. Maybe she has since stopped lying, who knows. I suspect it sometimes but can't prove it. For example, she got sick with what seemed like food poisoning and I asked if she went out to lunch with her girlfriend (they spent the afternoon together driving around and shopping), she said no, and I asked what she ate for lunch, and she said, "Just whatever was around the house." That obviously seemed like a lie, especially considering I know from her dash cam videos that she likes to treat herself to double bacon cheeseburgers occasionally, but not something I'm going to stress about enough to call her out or play detective. In general, I don't think she lies to me often, but sometimes I wonder. I know it's damn near impossible for her to admit that she doesn't know something, like the definition of a word, so she will make something up and act like she was pretty close to right, and if not, she'll imply she knew there was another definition or useable context. It's just a part of her personality I've come to accept, and I assume it was something she learned in childhood from having mean scary-ass father and to avoid punishment, and her older sister is also known to be a compulsive liar to a much greater extent.
When it comes to housework and paying bills, I pay almost all the bills and do most of the housework. I realize people have a bias to believe they do more than other people, but I do the dishes damn near 100% of the time and, one time when I mentioned that in passing, she disagreed with me. I pressed her, because I was shocked she wouldn't agree, and she thought about it for a second and finally said, "The only reason you think you do more dishes than me is because you make more dishes than me." Mind blown. I feel like we're living in different realities. I think I also do most of the cleaning because I highly value cleanliness and her, not as much. I once stopped wiping kitchen counters to see how long it would take for her to clean them ... 2 weeks. Another example, my car is clean pretty much all the time; hers is a trash heap pretty much all the time.
When it comes to bills, I pay most of the bills except for our gym membership and phone bill. We make close to the same amount of money (she's a school teacher and we're not rich or well off), so I brought up the fact that I'm paying all the bills and she needs to contribute more. She honestly thought we split the bills fairly because she pays our phone bill, gym bill, and goes to Target once in a while to get stuff for the house and because she buys all the clothes for our kid. I do all the grocery shopping for our house and I buy almost everything we need for our home, so the Target thing is almost irrelevant, but that was her argument. I also do the grocery shopping because I'm into fitness and eating healthy, and when she does the grocery shopping she will go without a list and buy things we already have and come home with more junk food than I think is reasonable. Today, she offered to split the grocery list (we go to Costco and Fred Meyer) so she took the Fred Meyer list and said she would swing by after hanging out with her girlfriend; I thought that was nice, but she didn't end up going shopping, but still somehow managed to come home with a big bag of Doritos. She did start contributing more financially, recently, but again, I feel like we're living in different realities. I should mention, I've set up ALL of my bank accounts as joint accounts and she has all of her bank accounts as her own (I occasionally make her pull her credit report to look for fraud, so I know she's not running up debt or hiding something). She's generally pretty frugal, but hasn't saved up near as much as me for retirement, mainly because my employer has a good match, and she is saving with a public pension so I'm not even sure how that works. I just know that when we worked with a financial planner a few years ago she had about half as much saved as she thought she did, and only about a third of what would be considered on target, and I had to nag her for 2 years to open a Roth IRA.
I think she's kind of lazy, but that's not exactly correct. I've thought about it and realized it's more accurate to say she generally doesn't do anything proactively. Simple example being she won't fill up the dog water bowl (for her dog ... Yes, technically our dog, but she wanted it and I made it clear in the beginning that if push-comes-to-shove it was 100% her responsibility) unless she sees it's empty whereas I fill it up regularly because I realize the water gets gross, the bowl needs to be cleaned, and the dog doesn't like to drink the last inch or two of water. Making a to-do list is a practically a foreign concept to her but something I pretty much live by.
She had a dream one time that I died and I said, "That would suck for me!" She said, "You! What about us? You'd be dead. We're the ones that would have to live without you." That blew my mind, especially because I pay for some generous life insurance in case I die and she doesn't pay for any in case she dies.
I asked her if she wanted to buy grave sites (when her mother was going through the process of buying them) and she goes, "No, what if I hate you when I'm old and don't want to be buried next to you." Mind blown.
A lot of this stuff weighs on me and I've thought about getting a divorce every day for the last few years. I generally think I'm probably happier and better off with her than without her because I'm not extremely social and I'm somewhat pessimistic, so I doubt I'd be able to find a better woman. I also want to be part of my kids life, and I think a lot of that would be taken away from me if we got a divorce.
Our sex life is fine, not perfect by any means, but good enough; if anything, sex is the major reason we're still together. She is not really that into sex or motivated to have sex, so I really don't worry about her cheating. I'm not a fool, I'm not naive, and if I had any suspicion she was cheating, I would find out ... just want to stress that that's not an issue.
We never ever discuss our future. I think this is more of a quirk of her personality. She doesn't like to think about budgeting, or retirement, or to do lists or car maintenance. I've thought before that she's still kind of like a teenager with a job and car keys; she's not irresponsible, but I'd laugh (to myself) if anyone called her responsible.
We generally don't fight a lot or have a lot of arguments, but we did have one recently. I was trying to get her to help me make a meal plan (only for dinner) for the week so I could get the right groceries. She's generally a picky eater and and we've kind of come to the unofficial agreement that she cooks dinner and I cook breakfast and lunches. She doesn't do any dishes, doesn't do any grocery shopping, and generally doesn't do any cleaning in the kitchen so this is more than fair in my opinion. She takes our kid to after school activities so her amount of time varies each night, and sometimes she needs something quick. I will eat anything she cooks, I'm not picky. I just wanted her to pick what she was willing to eat and willing to cook, which we've done many many times in the past and have many prior examples of weekly meal plans. She kind of whined and says, "I don't know, what do you want," and I lost my cool, got super pissed off, yelled at her and called her a shitty wife before walking away and locking myself in my office because I was so angry. She unlocked my door with a screwdriver to let herself in and I pushed her out. She thought that was violent and she said I hurt her and she was calling the police, so I told her if she calls the police that, " ... we're done forever." Of course, keep in mind for perspective, I brought up all of our almost-divorce details in this short post that happened over the span of a 20 year relationship. Having a kid definitely put a strain on our relationship... absolutely great and wonderful kid, but we moved to a different state for jobs and therefore no family around to help us, no long term friends, and we're not religious enough to go to church (we tried a few times in the past, but always felt like they pushed tithes too hard), and we don't really go on dates anymore ... Back to the thing about me paying all the bills ... not much money leftover for fun stuff. We barely ever eat out, and occasionally go out to coffee and only get fast food if we need the convenience. I asked her a few days ago if she misses going out to bars and eating out a lot and she said something like, "No, I'd much rather go out to coffee or lunch with you and our little one," so as far as I know, she's happy with our lifestyle.
I realize it probably sounds a little bit like I'm the woman in the relationship and she's the man. The irony is not lost on me. When we hang out with other couples, I frequently hear comments to the effect of, "I wish my husband did that." It actually really bothers me because it highlights the fact that she doesn't do as much as other wives and it makes the other husbands uncomfortable and feel like they need to defend themselves.
And in case you're thinking she's a "Daddy's little girl" that got everything she wanted. That's not the case. Her parents divorced when she was about 5 and she almost never saw or talked with her father because he lived several states away. We were both raised by single mothers who never got child support for most of our lives, both had two other siblings, we were very poor (and sometimes argue about who was poorer), and we both got jobs at a young age and worked our way through college and paid for it ourselves. If anything, our similarities in upbringing is a big part of why we were good for each other.
What do you think? How can I change my mindset about my relationship? I'm having trouble looking forward to MY future.

2023.03.20 16:41 _Ulfhednar_ Hipochondria a nehezen látogatható orvosok miatt
Alapvetően sose gondoltam magamat hipochondernek - legalább is az elmúlt pár évig biztosan nem. Keveset jártam orvoshoz, amit tudta, lábon kihordtam aztán minden fasza volt.
Majd jött a covid.
Nehezebb lett orvoshoz jutni. Az egyre gyérebb orvosi körülmények miatt pedig akihez el is jutott az ember az is kb csak futószalagon suhanó tárgyként kezelt, lehetett az szakorvos vagy háziorvos. Szóval mint bárki más aki megteheti ha valami olyan bajom volt akkor mentem inkább maszekba, csakhogy nem lehet mindennel oda menni. Ad #1 azért mert drága, ad #2 azért mert ad #1. ( plusz már sokszor magán dokinál is azt érzem hogy csak el vagyok hajtva a faszba, oszt mindegy hogy ki van írva hogy maga az időpont 15 percre szól, kb 5 perc alatt le akar tudni mindegyik majd elvenni a pénzt)
Persze tudom, eddig sem volt valami rózsás a helyzet itthon az orvosok terén, de nekem valahogy ez a 2020-tól kezdődő időszak tette igazán a kiskaput.
Az elmúlt olyan 4 napban elkapott valami kellemes fosós-görcsös jóság. Fáradság, hasmenés, hányinger, minden ami szem-szájnak ingere. Az első két napot betudtam mint menstruáció, mert azt hittem az akar megjönni, majd mikor szombat-vasárnapra szarabb lett a helyzet (haha) akkor már ugye várnom kellett hogy el tudjak jutni orvoshoz. Volt már részem hasonlóban, még rosszabban is mikor ez a 4 nap bele volt sűrítve egybe és úgy forogtam a WC-n, mint hidroplán propellere, szóval nem vertem nagy dobra akkor sem. "Majd hétfőn elmegyek dokihoz" gondoltam.
Eljött a hétfő de hát mivel a sáros Niagara nem állt el isten igazán így nem nagyon akartam megkockáztatni hogy majd ott a rendelőben jön rám ami, szóval felhívtam a dokit. Elmondtam hogy mit kaptam el, hogy amúgy már alakul, de azért nem 100%, de kb a feléig nem jutottam el annak amit mondani akartam már nyomta is normaflore kúra, főt krumpli, rizs, viszont hallásra. A beszélgetés nem volt több 50mp-nél ( telefon szerint 1:20 volt, de ebből kb fél perc volt az amíg a kolegina kapcsolta a doktornőt) és kicsit átbaszarintva érzem magam.
Persze valszeg kutya bajom, gyomor rontás vagy valami vírusos szar, le vagyok gyengülve, jada jada jada, de azért örültem volna ha nem vagyok kb elhajtva. Még annak is jobban örültem volna ha azt mondja menjek be inkább.
A másik hasonló eset pedig egy kicsit konzisztensebb, de már magán szektorban, egy jó kis NERD ( nem savas reflux). Szar, fáj, azt se tudom mi okozza, mozgok, odafigyelek az evésre aztán mégis van. Mindenféle gyógyszert ettem már, nem igazán segítettek. Volt doki aki kiröhögött azt mondta ez nem NERD hanem ellenkezőleg a savam kevés, szóval ne szedjek gyógyszert, most dobjam el mind, volt aki elhajtott mondván hogy ha van diagnózisom mit akarok még és volt aki kb 2 perc alatt letudott egy "Salvus víz, gyömbér tea, szép napot" hármassal. És ezekért fizettem. És ezeknek jó volt az értékelése.
Nőgyógyászat hasonló volt csak ott kevert volt a paletta, volt SZTKs doki is meg magán is. Az SZTKs kb felnyúlt közölte hogy PCOS, majd elküldött endokrinológiára (a vizsgálatok amiket kér 6 hónapomban telt összeszedni), az meg lett majd kb hasonlóan csak "ok akkor PCOS, viszlát szép napot" Ebből mentem magánba olyan 1 évre rá, mert már volt rá pénzem, ahol a doki megállapította hogy nincs PCOS, csak minimális vitamin hiányok. Kért pár vért, azt egy hét alatt levetettem, még egy hétre rá volt eredmény, harmadik héten már a dokinál elemezgettük, ahol meg lett állapítva hogy kis D-vitamin hiány meg vas hiány van, PCOS nincs, az előző doki benézhetett valamit, szedjek vitaminokat és jó lesz.
Valahogy egyre nehezebb azt mondanom, hogy "Ja a dokinak igaza van" mert nem érzem hogy az lenne, csak azt érzem hogy mondanak valamit csak menjek már el és ne zargassam őket. Emiatt kezdem azt érezni hogy lassan de stabilan kialakul egy hipochondria bennem, hogy már minden kis faszom bajomra ugrok, mert mi van ha nem és nem lesz orvos aki ellát? Illetve ha lesz is mi van ha le se szarja. Emiatt egyre több hülye google-t olvasok ami szintén nem jó.
Pszichológussal erről már beszéltem, elvileg nem vagyok egyedüli precedens erre, próbáltunk átjutni ezen hogy mivel tudom ilyenkor magamat megnyugtatni, de attól még kifejezetten rant-elhetnékem támadt most is.
Tudom hogy az orvosoknak is szar és sose tudnám azt csinálni mint ők, legyen SZTK vagy magán, de attól még kicsit rosszul esik, mikor azt se tudom mi bajom és az ember aki tudhatja le se szar igazán.
Ha elolvastad ezt a rengeteg karaktert köszi, kicsit ki kellett adnom magamból, mert őszintén frusztrál a dolog. Legyen szép délutánototok és remélem jobb orvosaitok vannak mint nekem

2023.03.20 16:41 petuhpahn Lettering Feedback
| Hi guys, This was a bit of a rushed job for music cover art. I love the sneaker and the color scheme, but I would have liked to do a better job with the font/print. I started using illustrators 3D feature, but honestly in the time I had I couldn't get a good enough grasp on it. My question is, do you think going the 3D route would have given me a better result OR is the a route that I could have taken to give the lettering more of a natural feel. As I'm it was a part of the drawing/ of the same world as the sneaker. As opposed to some pot words on top of art? submitted by petuhpahn to AdobeIllustrator [link] [comments] |
2023.03.20 16:41 LaalTaen Ex (33M) and I (30F) broke up recently after 5 years. Need help moving on.
Reposting as previous one was removed due to formatting issue.
I (30F) was in a LDR with my ex (33M) for almost 5 years. We broke up about 5 months ago. Some background: I’m from a country where families are heavily involved in marriages. There were issues among our families which led to our eventual breakup. We found this out during the second year of our relationship and instead of breaking up we decided to try to convince them. In retrospect, I should’ve followed my gut and let it go but he kept giving me hope and I was blinded by love. It was an issue raised by my parents which angered his father and rightly so. However, my parents caved in early on but his father didn’t till the end. A few months ago, he ended things stating his dad won’t budge (why my ex thought he could change him also confuses me now because in his own words his father is a stubborn man who doesn’t change his decision once he’s made up his mind). Initially I was resentful towards him that we didn’t need to drag this for another 3 years and should’ve ended things sooner but it’s not like he forced me to stay so I can’t blame him. Now, after less than five months he got married. I found out through a mutual’s social media. The woman he married is a close friend of his, he used to say was like a sister to him. She’s a nice person, I’ve met her once through work before we started dating. This isn’t a case of his parents deciding this for him and him going along, they would never do that and he wouldn’t agree to it. And neither is the girl or her family like that. They started wedding planning in early December, a month and half after we broke up. I feel hurt and hateful that while I’m still struggling, our five years together meant so little to him that he didn’t even need any time to process and got over it that easily. The little progress I had made these past few months is all down the drain. I keep thinking about this and I can’t seem to stop the tears. I keep seeking information about it and I can’t stop myself. I’ve started resenting my parents again. I feel I’m slipping back into my depression and the fact that I’m in between jobs doesn’t help since I can’t busy myself with work. I started two new books to keep myself from thinking about it but my thoughts wander. I feel betrayed and I don’t know how to move on from this. I don’t want to fixate on this. Any advice is appreciated, thank you.
TLDR; broke up with my ex of 5 years and found out he married 5 months after break up. Need help on how to move on.

2023.03.20 16:39 youknowwhattheysay12 Like an alcoholic!
The beautiful part of sadness is that it asks no questions of you,
It does little else but cradle you,
A motherly hand that beckons, and claws,
It leaves marks, crimson and compassionate; asking for no metamorphosis.
It drags, a cunning release from gravity,
Asking you only to float, not that you swim,
The desire to simply not exist, the desire to drown.
Your whims rip me open and know me as stubborn.
I revisit you, within you, I fade,
I know how you end, I know I will stay,
“I want to go home!” I cried at 8 years old in my childhood bed.
Sea, I wish to know you no more,
You love me like an alcoholic, can you stop when you wish?
(in water bottles, hidden under sinks and above the fridge,
behind the strewn magnets and bloody cupboards;
but I am not allowed to talk about that, am I?)
But oh, how I love you, how I ache,
I love you more with every sip, as I know it is just within your nature,
As your mother knew before me.
Oh, sea, I exist,
And if and only if I exist,
Why can’t I love the way I am meant to?
Why can I do nothing but immortalise you?
Sauvignon Blanc, suffering,
Sea, is this all love?
I bite and yearn for the hand that feeds, and strokes my head,
Wishing me a goodnight, and climbing in beside me after my nightmares,
Anything that will tell me, “I love you.”
Like an alcoholic!
Am I now to simply move on after all that has happened?
What of the words I did not know yet, those people I was meant to meet, the feelings I was unable to know, the feelings I knew but was scared to know?
What of the words I wrote but could not tell you?
What of these words?
Oh, sea, is life just love and suffering from a lack of love?
And recovering from how love changes, how it blooms and wilts in only a moment as our lips could have touched,
but they didn’t, for I am so weak I would have run if I allowed myself a moment of weakness (and a chance of happiness),
Loving you is my weakness, if only you knew,
That I love you like an alcoholic, as my mother loved, and as her mother made her love,
But I deign to love you like that no more,
I love you, but I can survive without you, and I can let you go,
My marks beg for metamorphosis,
Fly away from me.

2023.03.20 16:39 alamayn Leaving semi-relaxed, decent paying start up job for a less flexible, higher paying job at a better company… making the right decision as someone who values work/life balance?
I’m having my final interview today for a position where the manager unofficially told me I have the job. I am pretty sure this is the better of two jobs, but it’s the first time I’m having any hesitancy leaving a job. They’re both in the same industry but not quite competitors. I’ll compare:
Current job: - $76k salary, eligible for a raise no sooner than July 1 because of how the company wide performance review cycle works. I know that the max salary for my current position is $88k. - There technically could be a promotion available, but my manager pretty much told me that the company does not have a need for it at the time. She also emphasized that my max salary could be the median salary for the role even if there was a promotion, that $88 wouldn’t automatically be the minimum. She also reminded me that I’m paid the most on my team (and I know that’s true) and that maximum salaries are designed to last for when a person is in a role for several years…. so probably not getting above $80 with them this year. - SUPER relaxed environment because I’ve proven I am capable and reliable in the past year I’ve worked here. I know how to manage the work and do it well so I have little oversight. I work for a couple hours a day and consistently have excellent feedback. I’m able to log off early when for appointments, we have unlimited PTO and last year I used 22 days formally, no way to quantify the other time I just didn’t work - OK health insurance that I don’t have to pay for, really great dental insurance that I pay a little for, decent vision insurance that I don’t pay for - No 401k match, no bonuses
New job: - Less flexible, but may be getting more flexible? The team is being doubled from 2 people to 4 and they said that’s to improve work/life balance. I’d be surprised if it’s as easygoing as my current job though - Pay range is mid 80s to mid 90s, I’d like to negotiate a sign on bonus because I just missed the company’s bonus cycle - 18 days PTO, can buy an extra week, not familiar with how that works - Better title all around. I’m currently an associate, if I did get promoted my title would be specialist, the new job’s title is advisor. - Better quality health insurance that I’ll pay for ($90/mo), not as great dental insurance that I’ll pay for ($20/mo), average vision insurance that I’ll pay for ($7/mo) - 5% 401k match and 10% annual bonus with potential for more
and both jobs are fully remote.
does the new job sound like the better pick? I like the people at my current job and am well respected enough to manage myself, I enjoy my freedoms. But I’m also dealing with a lot of dental bills and already maxed out my insurance for the year, so an insurance reset + more money is really what I want the most.
should I be considering anything else?

original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)
India was able to repel a Chinese military incursion in contested border territory in the high Himalayas late last year due to unprecedented intelligence-sharing with the U.S. military, U.S. News has learned, an act that caught China's People's Liberation Army forces off-guard, enraged Beijing and appears to have forced the Chinese Communist Party to reconsider its approach to land grabs along its borders.
The U.S. government for the first time provided real-time details to its Indian counterparts of the Chinese positions and force strength in advance of a PLA incursion, says a source familiar with a previously unreported U.S. intelligence review of the encounter into the Arunachal Pradesh region.
The source familiar with the assessment of this intelligence - deemed to be highly reliable - says the U.S. government in the weeks before the encounter was fully cognizant that China was carrying out test exercises in the region to see if it could seize a new foothold in the remote mountain passes there or in other territory to which both China and India lay claim.
A separate U.S. intelligence assessment considered of lower reliability than the first suggests the Chinese paid particular attention to several U.S. military activities in another region in the weeks before - all part of unprecedented training exercises the Indian military hosted with the 11th Airborne Division, reactivated in 2022 and based in Alaska, tasked with operations in the Pacific region.
Several former officials who worked on the BECA and other agreements said the Galwan Valley clash spurred the Indians to realize the need for more of the kind of geospatial intelligence that the U.S. can deliver.
New Delhi has irritated the last several U.S. presidential administrations by suddenly pulling out of planned arms purchases of U.S. drones, for example, or insisting on maintaining its economic and energy ties with Russia - a move analysts attribute to the vastness of the resources India must secure for its people, 800 million of whom require government food assistance.

2023.03.20 16:37 max_gooph I’ve streamlined my job so much that I have nothing to do now, what can I do?
I started my job 3 months ago as a support role for project admins and the basis of my role is to compile documents together. I created a macro in excel that does it for me. Before it would take up to 2 hours to create these “sets” and now it takes 5-30 minutes. So usually 80% of my day consists of faking busy and watching Netflix. I haven’t told anybody I streamlined it nor do I complain about no work. But I am so bored at work now. I’d like to take a coding class but all of us (project managers and me) are in a large room with tables along to wall so our monitors face out and when anyone walks in, my screen is the first they see. I work in office too so I have to be here. If I worked remotely I would seriously have a 2nd job.

2023.03.20 16:37 musicwho7 AITA for exposing my bio dad on tiktok?
| Sorry in advanced, this story is a bit long from all the Tea in it. Ill include pictures if i can. Gowing up my dad and I were best friends. I was his mini me. My mom was always on the computer and was a bit addicted, so in my eyes she was neglectful. Around middle school, my parents divorced. My dad and I would trash talk my mom together. When I was 18 he started dating his friend and work partner he'd known for almost 10 years. She moved in with us. She was close to my age then his. 220 years older than me, 11 years younger than him. It was around that time he suggested to me that we get an RV for me to live in so I can learn to budget and live on my own, as well as have my own space. I thought that sounded great. The deal was I wasn't allowed to work cause I was in college, and he would give me a budget every 2 weeks of $170 for food and gas. Sounded good to me. I got a job anyways and lied telling him it was under the table pay, and he was okay with that. It was a mom and pop Italian restruant as I'd gone to culinary school. My previous job as a Sous Chef for a wedding catering company was paid under the table so it was easy for him to believe I found another job like that. The first time we hooked up the water in the RV, I'd come home from classes and the floor was flooded. The pipe was burst underneath shooting water into the floor. So we disconnected it and I had to use the bathroom inside. I couldn't cook in there either, nor wash my dishes. My Father claimed I could always use the kitchen in the house, I just had to ask his girlfriend first. She ALWAYS sad no. I started washing my dishes in a bin in the driveway. I was quickly told to stop because it made us looke "trashy". So I used my budget to get disposable plates and utensils. Since I couldn't use the kitchen I bought microwave meals and fast food. He said an adult needs to meal plan and since I wasn't doing that, he stopped giving me my budget. I was really glad I had a job, that also fed me. One night shortly after this, they showed up at my work to try to get me to quit. I went crying to the owner, I didn't want to quit and I needed money. Luckily she was a very strong persuasive woman so she went out on my behalf, lied saying they're paying me under the table. And convinced them to let me keep my job. The winter was cold, the bottom 1/3rd of the door was missing and he said I'm only allowed to have the heat on when I'm home. So it was always freezing and I used a heated blanket. It's around this time we barely spoke. I didn't really get to see him at home and he stopped answering my calls and replying to my texts. But made sure to brag about how he talks to his gf on the phone 5 times a day. He also made sure to tell me that if my bf loved me he would answer the phone always. When people love you they give you all the attention they can. Should have realized then his love started to fade. After a VERY hot summer in a metal RV woth no AC, I reached out to my mom. My mental state was awful living there. She helped me get a new phone not on his plan (before the phone he gave me I'd paid my own bill on my own plan for 2 years) and she said I could move in with her and my step dad. The way my father had me move out of her house, was to pack everything quietly and just leave. So that's what I did again. Him and his gf pulled me in when they caught all my friends and I moving all my stuff. They told me how rude, cowardly, and disrespectful it was of me to move out the way I was. I tried pointing out they had me move out this way before and said it was great. But they cut me off and wouldn't let me speak. Kept shaming me as I held back tears like my life depended on it. The lyrics of 'Let you down' by NF blasting in my brain. He told me since I was being so rude, he was keeping the car. My whole family pitched in to but me that car as a Christmas gift for getting my liscence. He only paid for a portion of it. But he said "fuck you, my name is on the title". I wasn't gunna fight it, my mom had an extra car I could drive. So I left. I tried to keep a relationship with him. He asked me to come back and deep clean the RV so he could sell it. I saw no issue so I came to do so. But I had a PTSD breakdown, him and his gf had to pull me out of there. I had been SA'd in there and it all came back. He told me he "didn't ever want to see me relive that so him and his girlfriend would take care of it". He assured me not to worry. I moved an hour away. We only met when I was out there for something. Like seeing my friends. He'd plan something with me that would overlap and he would just say "when your friends show up, have them join us!" That backfired on me real fast. Around a year later I wouldn't get replies to calls or texts for months. At one point I came over and noticed they'd taken every trace of me out of that house. They had pictures lining most of the walls, but taken down any with me in it. Like I'd never existed. He didn't tell me he was getting married, or invite me to his wedding. He invited me to the reception, a week beforehand. I ended up coming and when I got there he ran up to me and said "I'm so happy you're here! We need help in the kitchen!". And I spent most of the reception in the kitchen and feeling severely out of place. I felt like he was trying to start his life over without me. I didn't mind that, I just wanted him happy. I tried to call and talk to him about how I felt, weeks went by with no answer or returned calls. So I finally just texted him. I was met with gaslighting. (Refer to the first set of text messages) he tried to bring up the RV, then blamed me for my own [email protected] in the same text message. I tried to cut him off. But my grandpa kept pestering me to keep the relationship. So I tried. A fee years later I ended up buying my old car off him. He tried to swindle my bf and I for more money after our first payment by sending a screenshot of when we originally got the math wrong, but conveniently didn't screenshot that part where he said that in hopes to get more money. I stood my ground. Around 2 payments later we ended up with barely enough money to pay our rent so I called him. He said "don't worry about it, just let me know when you can get back on your payment plan. I don't want you guys to have to struggle with something like this". I told him I would. TWO DAYS LATER he calls yelling at me, telling me how irresponsible it is to not make our payments. I tried to re explain what we had previously talked about. But he cut me off yelling that I either needed to pay him, or the car needed to be back in his driveway tomorrow. I decided then and there that after we get the car paid off, I would go no contact. I was having breakdowns over just text messages and my mental health was so bad. My grandparents on my moms side heard about this and said they would lend us the money and we could pay them back when we were stable. I brought him the money order next day. He seemed extatic that he got it all at once. I didn't stay long, I knew this was goodbye. I was going no contact without telling him. I'd decided months prior he would never be invited to my wedding. I left his house, and blocked him everywhere. I was on trauma tiktok and people were exposing the shotty things people did to free themselves. After all, if you have proof that they said or did something, they can't deny it. I took part. Probably shouldn't have, but it felt so freeing not to keep it in anymore. Eventually he found my tiktok, started harassing me in my comments while i was at work, and went crying to his parents that "I'm talking shit about him on the internet" and I explained to them later that I posted what he said. If he thinks that makes him look like a bad person, then he shouldn't have said it. My grandma really tried to defend him. But I told him about my SA, the things he said and did. I found out around this time he had been abusing my mom when I was young, the reason she was always on the computer is cause that's the only time he would leave her alone. I could go on about the things that started clicking for me that I didn't realize was messed up. But that's for another time. My therapist supported me exposing him on tiktok. After a year and a half of going no contact, and old friend was coming to town. We worked a mission in India (IIMC mission) and the director was coming up and wanted to see me. His daughter and I are still friends and wanted to send things back and forth. Problem was, he was staying with my dad. He asked if I could plan something woth my father since he was in charge of the itinerary. I attempted through email, hadn't blocked him there. You can look at the pictured to see the horrible response I was given. I sent a further response but knew he would never care enough about me to read it. I wrote a song about all this, it's sad, but good. Anyways, am I the asshole for exposing the things he did and said on tik tok? submitted by musicwho7 to okopshow [link] [comments] |
