As the title. Want to open a second wallet but unsure if I can use the same phone number. Tried searching online but couldn't find anything definitive. Can anyone point me in the right direction or let me now if you've done this.
Thanks all (insert more pleasantries here to fill the character limit. Think that should be enough) ... Maybe one more ©

More than just a sub for live music - specifically looking for albums that are a shining example of everything a band aspires to be. A confluence of talent, energy, soul, crowd engagement, etc. Ideally a show that is far bigger than any they've previously played for, so they clearly rehearsed their asses off to be at their very best. For example:

1. Alestorm - Live in Tilburg - not a huge fan of Alestorm, but I love this concert.
   
2. AFI - I Heard A Voice - similarly not a huge fan of AFI, but this album hits me just right.
   
3. Genesis - The Way We Walk - don't particularly care for any full Genesis or Phil Collins albums, but this album is nearly perfect.
   
4. Metallica - S&M - I am a huge fan of Metallica, and this album is my favorite album of all time. I particularly like that they put the effort into improving tracks that felt rushed an unrefined on their studio albums, such as Outlaw Torn and Bleeding Me. A while back I created a custom Load CD, leaving the good tracks alone and replacing the poorly recorded with a live improvement - notably 2x4 and Aint My Bitch needed live replacement, while Wasting My Hate and The House That Jack Built stayed.
   

Not too specific on genre, as I've generally liked any live music I've managed to find, at least in person. Open to pop and country live performances if people believe they qualify.
If a sub doesn't exist (quick search didn't find anything) and this post generates interest, I'll create it and make four separate submissions for the above links.
Reposted without the links, as it seems that triggered a bot. Was hoping the examples would help this post gain traction :-/

Fluff and Love
GME! I love you 🦍s, your amazing, your awesome, your the coolest in the world! Your 💎🙌s are the hardest around and you’ve earned every bit of your reward!!! Don’t forget that, you did good, you fought evil and you won!!!! Remember 🦍s💪together!!!, we have so many beautiful Allies! More then we could ever dream!!! Truly I’m am ready; tomorrow becomes today!
So now let me get down to the main reason your reading this MOASS, tho I hope my words of love and gratitude reach your 💜
The 4 types of MOASS, Web3 Gaming $IMX, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) $ETH/$LRC, NFT Asset Adoption! GameStops MP, and the Classic and my favorite $GME MOASS(Tho I love them all equally, my favorite involves us and I think that’s just the greatest, plus it moves the timeline to today! Let’s make MOASS today!! :))
#1 Web3 Gaming MOASS Adoption: The first one is pretty well known, most are fully aware of it but I’ll quote our partner Robbie of @ImmutableX for this one “It's clear the next bull run will be driven entirely by mainstream web3 game, on ethereum with immutable and @0xPolygonLabs. We will be there within 12 months - and this time, sustainably.” “ok so we have a 12 month Timeline, so what?” This what: “Gaming is bigger than music, movies, and TV combined.It's compounding 10% year on year. The $100bn a year spent "renting" items is going to turn into a trillion dollar ownable economy. All of it will be built on web3.” For the long term prospects of a year this is stupidly BULLISH for #Gmerica($GME $LRC $IMX $ETH $Pepe ($Pepe is on @Loorping) 💎🙌🏴‍☠️🚀🚀🚀🚀. Im so excited to see @Illuvium and (Gods Unchained for regular web3 gaming adoption, these are just 2 of the many many AAA Web 3 DeFi games coming out fully SOON!!! (And are already playable) :)
Part 2

2 Decentralized Finance MOASS Adoption

For MOASS DeFi Adoption we have @Loopring! which first step is bringing CEX Crypto into the DeFi world of Gmerica🏴‍☠️! Now to quote our DeFi Partner Bryon :) “We’re at a major inflection point. Centralization failures left and right. Exchanges + lending platforms losing customer funds. Banks failing because of centralized planning. Judges + courts ruling that if you store your funds on a centralized platform, you’re giving up ownership of those assets if the company fails. Everything is pointing towards crypto. Everything is pointing towards DeFi + self-custody as the future. The world will move to self custody as they learn this is the only way to truly own their hard earned assets. The timing couldn’t be better for our upcoming major Block Trading feature. Access the worlds best liquidity from the comfort of your self-custody wallet. Then experience everything else Loopring L2 has to offer once you’re there. Dual Investments, Staking, Trading, NFTs, Gaming. A true CEX-like experience without having to give up custody (ownership) over your assets. @loopringorg is building the future to enable the world to be their own bank from the comfort + security of their self-custody (self-owned) wallet. Now is the time - this next crypto bull market will pull the world into crypto and we’ll be ready🫡 Step 1: ✅bring CEX users over to DEX Step 2: ✅build the best one-stop shop ecosystem that allows you to #BeYourOwnBank so you never have to leave” Those who are use to a system of lies and thievery with manipulation, where CEXs, Banks, and Brokers don’t actually have your coins, cash, or stocks, will get to see what it is to truly #BeYourOwnBank and to #OwnYourOwnAssets, as the CEXs, Banks and Brokers fail, the flight from all of centralized finance and to secure transparent DeFi will cause a rally of a life time. All 4 paths for MOASS/MOASS adoption feeds into each other, the whole gaming economy of Gmerica🏴‍☠️ does! That’s our DeFi MOASS Adoption!!! Building the best Crypto Smart Wallet and DeFi Trading Exchange in the world!!!!! (What’s extra interesting is Loopring now has Block Trades, well seemingly inconsequential overall beyond offering an even better experience on Loopring what happens when a CEX exchange starts selling the DeFi tokens from their treasury (which is likely not enough to cover the accounts they custodian for) to Truly DeFi wallets?!?!? ;)💎🙌🏴‍☠️🚀🚀🚀🚀) Loopring also has another trick up it’s sleeve when it added $Pepe, I’m extremely bullish on its prospects when more and more holders jump in, tho it has trillions of coins, that’s not a bad thing it’s actually great for BILLIONS of users :) atm there’s around 100k Holders keeping $Pepe at around .5B market cap, it hasn’t been listed on many CEXs still, so many opportunities in the land of Gmerica🏴‍☠️ I’m so grateful to be an 🦍 and GMErican the future truly is look bright for us all :) option 2/Loopring is also extra special because of its financial scalability, everything and every asset will run on loopring through GameStops MP the determination of value will finally be fully in the direct hands of the Players :) PowerToThePlayers PowertoThePeople PowerToTheWorld GameStop now in Gmerica :)

please go read my previous post in this sub if you’re new!
update: IT HAPPENED! it all went down last night and it was picture perfect. C took M out to dinner and even was able to invite some of her friends for high school that she hasn’t seen in a while since they all went to different colleges pretty far apart. we set everything up on our back deck. we have sliding glass doors with big red curtains that cover them, so we were able to hide it from view when my sister got home. my mom asked M to bring the dog inside since she had something to do. (her super sneaky way of getting M to open the curtains) well, M opened them and immediately teared up. C took her outside into a circle of tea candles and got down on one knee. they were both smiling and crying and she bent down and put her forehead against his while he spoke (she’s pretty short). none of us could hear what he was saying but M heard every word and that’s what’s important. M stood back up straight and, through tears, said “yes! yes i will!”. we all (myself, our parents, C’s parents, and M’s friends) immediately cheered and ran out and hugged them both. i’m very sorry to you miserable few who for some reason wanted C to be gay or for her to say no or something along those lines, but C and M are happily engaged. i can’t wait to have a brother and i’m so excited for their future
edit: if i don’t sound as happy as can be, it’s because i’m going through a rough breakup right now. it’s been eating me up inside and i can’t take much more of it

Hi potential rescuer! ;)
I am glad that you found me.
My interests include art, (live) music, walking, skateboarding. I am also open to experience new things (e.g. if you have different interests). So I'm easy re what you want to do with me. I like going out but I also like staying home to relax. Also I basically like all kinds of food. Overall I'm an easy guy who doesn't complain and who tries to take life not too seriously.
I am respectful and won't be angry if we don't match (let's match though!). I have a MSc degree and my work is trading the financial markets. I am 1,90 m tall and I care about my health.
Why I am still a virgin?
I have always hated my father (parents luckily divorced when I was young) and I got bullied as a teenager when I started receiving the highest grades. I also developed attention span difficulties due to the bullying and due to constant noise from annoying neighbours. This made high school and university sometimes quite stressful (even though I won a few academic rewards and my grades were good).
Currently I am happy, I am friendly and enjoy meeting new people! :) Otherwise I wouldn't have made this post.
More about me: I paint, sometimes play stage piano and I like gardening. I am someone who likes being in nature as well as in a city. I also like doing 'nothing'. :) Relaxing on a bench in the city or in a park, daydreaming or enjoying sunshine.
What I am looking for?
Since I see more friends getting children or getting married I just feel like I have to do something now. I also bought a 200 m2 house. Probably I'll be living there forever alone and that's kind of ridiculous. But most importantly: I just feel like my mother and brother deserve more. He he, I am getting tears on my face while writing this. :) I achieved certain things in life that probably wouldn't have been possible without them. They are my everything.
I think meeting someone through this subreddit is the only proper way to lose my virginity or to do other sexual acts.
I've only had one date through r dirtyr4r and don't try it anymore. I have no chance there due to my inexperience. Women do sometimes flirt with me in real life. But the women who like me are looking for serious relationships now. And that's just way too much for me at the moment after all these years of being single.
Last weekend I was in Amsterdam. Not one, two but three women started smiling enthusiastically at me from a distance. Then other young women started screaming. Huh?!
I'll admit: apparently Harry Styles was walking behind me. :)
Maybe I can change my view re relationships over time if I do find intimacy and sex fun. Everything is new for me so I'm very thankful if you can help me.

My husband and I share a home with my SIL (husband's sister) and SILs husband. We have all lived together for around 3 years and generally speaking, it's actually not bad at all. My SIL is an overnight dispatcher and my husband works construction. I'm currently placed on early leave due to pregnancy complications (31 weeks) and my BIL has been out of work for months. Money has never been an issue. The home is owned outright and grandfathered in to a cheap land tax bracket so honestly, off one income alone, all bills are covered and then some. Just to paint the perspective of how money is currently not an issue and never has been.
The issue is that my BIL has started offering to watch our neices emotional support pet (not registered- just bought the vest online) while she is at school/work. The dog gets dropped off here at 5am and is picked up around 8pm. It's a small dog with severe separation anxiety and can be quite annoying. She whines if you walk out of her sight. Insists on being held the entire time she's here. She is hardly house broken. Insists on sticking her tongue down your throat or in your ears nonstop, as she never stops licking. And for the past week, my BIL has been bringing the dog in to whatever room I'm in and saying "Who's that? Go get her." And then walking out of the room, leaving me with this dog that I never agreed to watch and quite frankly, I'm getting touched out by. I'm starting to become pissed even having the dog in the same room as me due to the behaviors and I've voiced several times I don't want the dog near me. The dog always ends up back with me and people here are starting to wonder why my attitude has spiraled to a point of me snapping at everyone.
Well, we had a BBQ here yesterday and the whole family shows up. At some point our niece was talking to her dog saying "Uncle David's treating you good, right? Does the baby get spoiled." And I piped up with "Uncle David never has that dog. Uncle David pawns that dog off on me all day long while he sits in his bedroom playing video games." The whole family was standing right there when I said it and our nieces mother flipped out because apparently she's been paying David $40 a week to watch the dog for them. I'm being told I'm an AH and overreacting because "you don't have the dog all the fucking time" and made to feel guilty because the dog prefers me anyhow. But more importantly, I'm being shit on because I called David out in front of the family and now everyone is pissed and calling him a "lazy weasel".

I recently got into AAA and I would like some fun ideas to use. My favorite thing right now is Motor Drive G-Zapdos. Nobody expects it and I’ve been able to sweep teams because they boosted me up turn 1 as I used Bulk Up.
Another favorite of mine is Anger Shell Polteageist. Focus Sash and Shell Smash give a plus 3 to your offenses, making Stored Power do 200 Base damage.
What do y’all like? Lets give each other ideas!

Hello there. I am a 20 years old guy from Romania, Europe. Lately I felt lonely and I decided to try my shot here trying to find someone truly special to share my days with. Currently I am working a full time job and I live alone in my own appartment. I am looking for someone to starts things slowly, not rushing it. I would like to talk about our daily routine, work/school, share our days about what happened or how we feel or any random topic we have in our mind. I am open to a long distance relationship. I enjoy videocalls and voicecalls aswell.
Some infos about my personality:
I am an introverted, shy and emotional. As a person I am caring, loving and protective and I give all my attention to the loved ones to make sure they feel good.
My appearance is the next:
Slim body type, 190 cm tall (6'2), 80 kg (176 lbs), blondish hair and blue eyes. I am open to exchange pictures too.
My hobbies and interests include the followings:
- Learning about new cultures and languages. Currently I speak two languages on native level which include Hungarian and Romanian and I would like to learn about other languages and cultures.
- History. My favorite topic of history would be the middle age (Eastern European) and the two World Wars.
- Geography. All the mountains, seas, rivers, lakes which are surrounding us are so beautiful. Since I live in a mountain city I used to hike too on smaller mountains.
- Sports. Mostly I enjoy playing and watching football which I used to practice too before, but now only as a hobby. Other sports which I like are handball and waterpolo.
- Music. I like to listen mostly to everything related to rock music and rap music. But I am open to other music genres too and I would like to hear about your music taste too.
- Gaming. In my free time when I am off from work I play games on my PC on Steam. Maybe we could play some games too together if you are up for it.
- Movies and series. I don't watch them that much, but if it's a good movie or serie I would not turn it down.
- Youtube. I like to watch travelling videos mostly. I like travel videos because one day I would like to travel too around the World if I have the opportunity.
If you are considering to send me a DM, make a small introduction. Mostly I use Discord to chat, if you are ok we can move there, but Reddit chat is fine too.

So this is dumb. Basically, I'm in the college film club of our university. Recently, a buddy of mine wanted to show off his movie at a film festival. This festival only allowed the showing with a confirmation by our college, as parts of the movie were filmed in there. The college direction basically said "We're very supportive and fine with it. But the movie can't make the university look bad" -not going into detail what they really mean.
Now, here's my problem:k Like my buddy, my movie (our next project) is held primarily on college grounds. I had no problems not-slandering the university...until I actually went location scouting. For context: Our college is split into two areas, with me being in the art department. The location scouting took mainly place in the technical/IT department. The reason why it's important is that college sadly plays an important part in the idea & might ensure potential funding.
Wherever you looked, something was broken: Exposed wires hanging from the ceiling. Broken escalators and lifts not fixed for months/years. Furniture from 50years ago (and looking the part), and random rooms full of just...trash. Hell, we even found a form of attic. Or, to be more precise: The door to the attic, which was half-open and dangling out parts of a rusty staircase, just about to fall some poor lad on the head one day.
Now, I'm not trying to be a rebel here. But for fuck's sake- this place makes itself look bad without any help! Even worse: The more I work the locations into the script, the more I get the urge to slip in jokes about it. Of course, I can hold these back, but the first thing is still very worrisome to me.
How would you solve the issue?

First time posting here - not totally sure it applies - ha - but an earlier post reminded me of this situation I was in a few years back, so thought I'd share.
I was a 20+ employee for an organization with religious ties, in leadership, and the key point person for a lot of things, and pretty good at what I did. There were parts of the organization's religious group's identity that I didn't personally identify with, but felt as though I was making a difference there, generally enjoyed the work, and knew plenty of other like-minded (read "what the org would have called 'liberal') employees there, so I was content.
In my state, this organization's religious ties make them exempt from several laws - most relevant to this story, they are legally allowed to make hiring decisions based on/considering sexuality/sexual identity. While the organization had many constituents who were a part of the LBGTQIA+ community, and supported those constituents, they did not openly hire members of the LBGTQIA+ community. For years, I felt like a part of my reason for being there was to be a support to those members of the LBGTQIA+ community who were constituents in what was not always a positive environment for them.
I had an employee who was an outstanding performer - really, she was my BEST employee, if I'm being honest. She was a standard-setter in every way - an absolute peak performer. I had no plans to leave, but if I had plans to leave, I would have recommended her as a successor immediately. The work she did was important and wide-spread - it impacted every constituent in the org in one way or another. She was closeted when hired, and through a series of life events, came out after several years working for me. I was actually surprised at the community response - there were some skeptical folks and people who did the common religious "praying for you" thing, but many people were supportive of her.
We lived in that bubble for a couple of years, and then I took a plan to the supervisor of my direct supervisor (she made the salary/title decisions) to promote this employee for her exemplary work. The conversation started off poorly, and ended with "...do we really want to encourage her to stay here?" and "She knew the type of environment she was working in when she took the job - if she disagrees now, she should leave."
I knew, in that moment, that boss's boss was inadvertently speaking to me - I don't agree...I should leave.
I started the job hunt with one main criteria, found a place that was openly affirming with work that I was eager to learn, and took the job. It's ended up being an incredible fit for me - I love the work, love the people, and - surprise - members of the LBGTQIA+ community can both work here AND be promoted. I also ended up with a 20% pay increase during my first year, which was wild.
While my departure certainly didn't ruin anyone's life, everyone was pretty surprised with my departure, I definitely got my share of panicked "how did you complete this task?!" or "what was this procedure?!" calls, and they haven't been able to fill the role since.
Anyway - cheers to finding a workplace that's in alignment with your soul!!

I am looking to replace my Eero system with Unify. Primarily because my Eero system is great when it's great, and terrible when it's not.
I will eventually want to setup a few VLANs - Private, Guest, IoT (maybe an additional one for kids). I unfortunately have 2 areas where my cat5 is bundled and I have 1 cat5 running between 2 switches to connect them. I have 3 Eero pros right now, and 2 beacons.
After reading through the sub quite a bit and doing some research online I am thinking my setup will include the following
Fiber - Firewalla gold(already own this) - Unifi Flex Mini Switch (I will need 2 of these due to having 2 areas where cat5 runs to in my basement.
I THINK I want to use the Cloud Key G2 Plus controller and have 1 In-Wall AP's, and 2 U6+ APs. The reason I ant 1 in-wall AP is because I like to hard wire devices near this access point. The other 2, I do not care as much about hard wiring in those areas though I do have a Cat5 there so the AP will be hardwired. I might need 1-2 U6 extenders to extend wifi to areas like my detached garage where I currently use a beacon.
Can you experts tell me if I am on the right path here? Am I wasting time/money moving away from Eero? Am i completely off in regards to my setup? Are there better ways to do this?
Also - Is this interface for Unifi easy to setup and navigate? I imagine I will do most of my setup within firewalla once I am up and running.
I tried to do as much research before posting as I could. But Unifi is very new to me, I am tech savvy but I am not a network pro by any means.

Hello! To whom ever is reading this post, it’s very nice to meet you. A little bit about me:
Career:
I recently got out of military on the active duty side after serving 10 years, during that time I was a Canine Handler, so I’m a very big dog lover (I also like cats too haha), but now currently in the Military Reserves as well a marketing head representative for Verizon Wireless.
Things I Like To Do:
I enjoy road-trips, the outdoors, hiking, cooking, music (all genres), drawing, working out, and movies (especially horror). Lastly I don’t mind being a home body and enjoying the day with someone either doing an activity together, curled up on the couch binge watching a show, or hell even cleaning the house together while we dance listening to music.
Goals:
Working on plans to go to school full time for a degree in architecture or criminal justice. Also getting into business with my buddy to be a dog trainer.
What I’m Looking For:
Someone who can hold a conversation and doesn’t talk for just one or two days then just ghosts you (not trying to be rude but being blunt because there is a lot of people both men and women that do this on Reddit, if you are too busy to where you can’t send a few texts daily, or at least have the courtesy to communicate what’s going and that we will chat later that day and actually keep your word. Then please look for someone else to talk to only when your bored. I am genuinely looking for someone who wants to talk daily and enjoy the day with). Anyways, someone wanting to get to know me as much as I would like to get to know them. Hopefully having some of the same interests as I do but I don’t mind getting to know about the other person’s interests or things they like to do, that’s the fun of getting to know someone and understanding them.
Someone who is serious about wanting a relationship and knows what is needed to have one (meaning not bringing the past or ex issues into the relationship, I’m ready to find my future not dwell on my past and I expect the same from you as well). Lastly someone who is open, caring, honest, and good with communication.
If I caught your attention I would like to see where thing go (I hope I caught your attention haha). Also please be over the age of 21 and please say more than “hey” or “what’s up” tell me about yourself, hope to hear from you!

I've been going to therapy for almost two years and I've been taking anti depressants to 'ease the pain'. In front of others, they usually see that I have been handling my depression well but in reality I haven't. It was all a pretend and I haven't changed a lot since I started getting professional help. If I told my family and friends about this, they'll probably give up on me. My mother did during my last attempt and it was heart breaking to see that. I couldn't completely vent to anyone about what I'm feeling.
I often think about things like what would've happen if I didn't have depression. When I was a child, I didn't really understood the world that was given to me. The constant of being able to run outside and feel the warm breeze are the only things I cared about. I was so young and innocent. I didn't care what others think of me. Throughout the years, many hated me for no reason. I was bullied because I didn't see the same world as other people. I was treated differently. My family was the worst one out of all of them. I was a child and I expected them to protect me from any harm but they didn't. Most of them left me battle the world without any advices and the only thing I can do was constantly protect myself. I was alone and lonely. All I needed was love and support but I got nothing. When I found out I was adopted, I pretend to accept it. It made me even more isolated and I felt more different than others. Nobody never taught me how to love so when somebody actually wanted to give me their love, I destroyed it. Many people told me it wasn't my fault but saying that tells me the opposite. Others told me to move on but it was hard battle and I was already tired when I started it.
Now I lay stuck in my bed surrounded by my messy room. I managed to graduate from college but I have a degree of another person's dream. I look at people with anxious because I always think they hated me. Most of people in my lifetime either hated me for no reason or gave up on me. I wake up at the same time, 10 am to take my medicine and if I have the energy to clean my room I would. My government insurance will expire by the end of December, just in time to celebrate my birthday and I don't think I can pay extra for therapy and my medicines. I rarely step outside and talk to my parents because they always trigger me with their big expectations. I've been wasting my time and time usually don't wait for nobody. I'm afraid that in the future I'll probably snap and continue with the plans I've been delaying since I was young. Each year I grow close to it. I'm tired from fighting.
What is my purpose in life? I used to believe in a God while I was struggling with my life hoping that they would save me. However now, I always wished that they would end me. Is there even a higher being up there? or was I just a pawn of their entertainment? Was the devil also a part of their schemes? this horrible life. Did I do something wrong in my past life that I have to suffer this way? Why am I one of the people who just can’t get lucky? Can’t just take a break? Death is around the corner, nobody really knows when they will meet it. In my situation It feels like death is knocking on my door, waiting for me to open it.

My boyfriend (who I've been dating for 2 years now( seemed down and I asked what's bothering him but he keeps saying that it's okay and that he's just tired after a long day at school (This happened while texting). We're both classmates so we spent the whole day together. We have other classmates who are very annoying to be with but we just keep it neutral but rant w eachother about how annoying they are when we're alone.
When I got home, I spent a few hours finding clothes for my graduation photoshoot. I had a hard time responding to his msgs since I was busy. When I finally got to talk with him (while texting) I told him the things I did while I was gone (I always do that, i also want to know if thats okay pls send advice.) then we just continued talking. I wanted to open a topic about my classmates who pissed me off during class (he also hates those ppl). Then I just kept on ranting because I was really angry and annoyed. Usually, he will also say things that annoyed him during the day but this time he didn't. He did but not so much.
Like I said, It seemed like he's bothered by something. It took a hard time but when he finally told me, he just said that he's not in the mood all the time to listen to all my rants.
He told me that he's stressin out. Stressin because it seems like he wasn't doing enough to help me everytime I am stressin out about my problems. He also felt like I was waiting for something to be done or said by him everytime I open up about my probs.
Which is not true, sometimes I just want someone to listen. And since he's my boyfriend i thought it's alright to talk to him about everything (things i feel, see, experience, and ofc my personal problems which is mostly abt my family and friends). I am very open to him, I try to be since I thought it's the right thing to do. Is it the right thing to do?
He told me he is not expressive or emotive, whatever you call it. He is the kind of person who always finds a way to solve a problem ( he usually voice out a solution to me everytime i rant, sometimes i just want him tk listen but i know he wants to help me but he doesn't need to). I am a very sensitive person. I am always in my feels. I cry easily. That's why it made me sad to think that he is that kind of person. Not that it's wrong to not be in ur feels all the time. It just made me question our relationship, our compatibility. What should I do. I told him I will adjust because he did so much for me and I know now that I am being a burden to him.
I am considering leaving him because I don't want to burden him anymore, it felt wrong sharing these burden with him. he did not deserve that. I don't deserve him at all. He always try to fill in the shoes of my parents or my friends and takes care of me in the way he thinks I deserve. He gives so much. I think I give too little. It makes me sad but I really feel like I just give him headaches. That's why I think he's better off without me.
But maybe i'm just lost and I just need advice.
I just don't know how I will act in our relationship since we are so different.
I told him I will lessen the burden by not ranting so much anymore but not sharing my thoughts with him seems hard because I've been so comfy with him. I think it became my personality too when it comes to him. He's my boyfriend and my bestfriend.
Can you share some advice? What's the mature thing to do?

I'm 31, male, and definitely not a 10.
Unfortunately most of my life was spent unable to connect with people. Various situations in my life as well as trauma from my childhood taught me wrong lessons about being afraid to trust people. Unfortunately that contributed to me being unable to ask for hugs or affection much as a child.
As an adult, it is harder now to be open about my emotional needs. I'm basically a wreck most days, with my emotions so unregulated it's ridiculous. I can't stand to be alone, but I'm so afraid to reach out to find someone because I'm afraid of being hurt. So I've come to the point where I guess my only option is to give up completely.
I can't say I'm surprised at all of it now. I'm basically a loner, unable to reach out or even accept love. I'm all at once heartbroken about something I've never had and mourning it, and also just numb about it all. I'm not happy being alone but I can't change anything about it now. So I'm left with just being somewhat okay. Maybe not 100 percent, but at least I'm not going to be hurt anymore. I'll just shut out that part of me. Then I'll be able to be a good member of society that just does his job.
Maybe that's what I've been meant to do for a long time. I've just been fighting my destiny as hard as possible because I still wanted to dream, even as I was waking up. Now it's time to face the day and just begin to accept reality for what it is. Depressing and monochrome, but at least I've gotten away from the delusion.
So I guess this is farewell to the dream of love. The idea of a happily ever after only ever works in fairy tales. Hallmark and Disney sold us a lie for years and now I'm beginning to see through the curtain hiding the ugly truth behind it.
Goodbye love. I never truly knew you, but I had wished to know you for so long. I'll miss the hope I had of one day seeing you. But I also know that I can't keep holding on to you when you were never mine to begin with. I hope you find others to bless with your gifts. I'll do my best to lead others toward you, but I'll no longer pursue you. My heart can't handle the chase anymore.

I have been working on a business for two years. I have a business partner who is a financial backer.
Over the course of the two years, the following has happened: the first 6 months were spent researching one avenue of revenue, but we ultimately opted for another. I.e., we thought of processing one thing, but logistics and regulations drove us to another (market).
My partner has a lot of money. Has even had gall enough to say “I’m rich”. He has two cars, but only one parking spot.
During the first summer, I drove to Virginia (from Toronto, Ontario) for a two day workshop about the specifics of using the machine we purchased ($27,000 CDN).
When I returned, he told me to keep the car, as I’d need it for business. I asked him, later, what he was going to do with the car ultimately. He said he’d keep it for a few years and then probably give it to me. (The car is over 20 years old, has 150,000 k. It runs pretty well, but it does need work).
At one point he suggested that I should “draw a salary” from the business. He suggested $3,000 / month. I live quite lean, and, as of last years’ personal taxes, I took a total of $17,000 from the business account when necessary. I hold a part time job to offset needing to do so.
Two times during this two year period, my partner was away - once in Cabo and once in Bahamas. He invited me to come with him but both times I had to cancel due to Covid -imposed restrictions.
Late 2021, I experience an issue with my machine, and because of backlogs of materials, I did not receive a replacement part for 7 weeks, during which time my sister died of cancer.
In summer of 2022, he abruptly took his car back for his daughter to give his son driving lessons (?). That was 3 weeks, and I had to cancel social arrangements out of the city (visiting a cottage, summer camp reunion).
In late 2023, more machine issues, and because it is a highly specialized machine, there was a lot of work in finding someone who could properly assess and repair.
In January of 2023, I booked a booth at a trade show as a launch. It was a good start; made some professional connections. No sales. He said he was going to attend, but never did and only told me so when I texted to ask where he was.
In April of 2023, he took the car back again for his newly-licensed 17 year old child to use. Said it would be 3 weeks. It’s been 7 weeks, during which time I have had to pick up supplies, deliver an order, and get other business-related things accomplished. I did these things via transit and Lyft.
In late May, I held an open house at my office for industry people. It was my partner’s suggestion. I orchestrated the whole thing, and invited nearly 200 people. He said he was coming, but by then the second day, with two hours left, I again messaged him to see where he was, whereupon he informed me that he wasn’t coming because he was out of town dealing with a personal emergency. No details on that.
I was supposed to get the car back the next day to make a delivery. When asked about it, he said he’d give it back to me when he returned. No details about that.
I asked “when will that be?” He replied “Sunday”.
Sunday came and went and on Monday I messaged him. He didn’t reply until Tuesday with: Hi l am thinking , the car needs a ton of work, and depending on the amount, may not be worth it. WRT to the business, l am pretty unclear it will work, l can meet with you this weekend to discuss. I am in a very dark and sad place , nothing to do with you, but you should know.”
I wrote “That’s a pretty abrupt declaration. I know the car needs work. I have been making all kinds of arrangements regarding [the business] including hiring a social media pro and we have mapped out a schedule for promotional videos and information to be imparted. If you are without hope for it, well, then you let me know. Whatever you’re going to do to with the car, that’s fine. I’d love to be able to use it until then.”
Not wanting to wait until the weekend, I called instead in the evening, but he was unable to talk. I’m calling again tonight (Thursday).
He has many investments on the go (says he) that are in the millions, that have been in the works for years.
Please, if I’m unclear on anything, just ask for clarification. Otherwise, any insight?

I’m on mobile so sorry about the quality.
My husband and I live in Texas, (USA) and we found the perfect house to raise our daughter who will be born in a month. We moved in February 2023. This home offers a beautiful 3bed 2bath layout for $1450 a month which isn’t horrible for our area. We were withheld some information when we moved in - the biggest thing - our landlord lives in a studio apartment connected to the house. Now you might ask; how do you not know someone’s living there? We were told it was rented out to someone who stays maybe a week max in the year because they travel for work. Nope, our landlord lives there; full time. Since we moved in, she has complained up and down about EVERYTHING. We are quiet homebodies, every respectful of the space, we have few friends who do occasionally visit.
Complaint #1: she hired a property rental team to rent the house to us; our main point of contact is a wonderful woman named Ana who has been a saint through all of this. Our landlord has sworn since my husband and I moved in that we’re renting a room out of “her house” and that there’s strangers coming and going. It got to the point that she was looking into our windows, trying to open the conjoined door that connects our laundry room to her studio which always remains locked on our side, walking into the back yard when our back door was opened and trying to walk in. This was quickly stopped after we installed cameras inside and outside of our house.
Complaint #2: we have a wonderful dog named Lea, she’s a trained ESA and it is illegal for landlords to refuse rental with proper documentation from doctors regarding. I have submitted all of her paperwork, AND paid a $300 refundable pet deposit fee which I was happy to do so; our backyard is just patio with no grass as grass is uncommon in our area, we have terf in an area in the back that’s cleaned everyday and we’ll maintained. Lea pooped ONCE on the concrete and it was cleaned up within a few hours; but our landlord took photos - sent it to me and said our dog is not trained and we need to get rid of her. Mind you; this is not a shared backyard. Per our lease; the backyard is ours and we can do what we like with it.
Complaint #3: one of our close friends got to our house before us on a Friday when we were running errands. We told him to let himself in and we’d be there in less than 5 minutes. She immediately called me and said someone broke into our house and is throwing things around. She said she called the cops and they were on their way. She claims she doesn’t feel safe when we’re not home because of the strangers going in and out. At this point; I very politely told her to mind her business and to stop watching our home.
Last night was the final straw when she called me and said my dog is barking at all hours of the night outside. My dog sleeps in bed with us through the night; gets let out at 5-7am for 5 minutes to go potty, and comes right back to bed until 9 when I feed her. We do have neighbors with outside dogs that do bark but it’s what dogs do; it certainly isn’t ours though. I told her if she refunded our full deposit and pet deposit we would GLADLY move out as she’s been nothing but stressful through our pregnancy. Our property manager sent us a listing for a home she has that is a little bit more than the one we’re in now but we can take it before she even lists it.
My question is; with all of the evidence of her snooping, complaints, and just absolute horrible behavior - if she fights us getting out of the lease; do I have a strong enough case in small claims court to move out without penalty?

i (18f) and my now ex (18m) were together for almost 18 months. we got together halfway through my junior year and we stayed together until after graduation. in my mind, i thought things were perfect. we didn’t hang out too much or too little. we were always very open about our feelings. ALWAYS. we were good at communicating with each other and any problems we had were resolved quickly. despite our young age, we were a mature couple and i truly believed we were happy. however, the other day, he told me he wanted to end things. the relationship had been a tad bit tense for the past couple of months or so, but that (at least in my mind) was because we weren’t able to hang out as often as we had been. but we still texted every day and called every night. we told each other “i love you” numerous times throughout the day, no matter what. however, now he’s saying he doesn’t have the time for a relationship. he’s saying he can’t go on but i can’t seem to understand why. maybe i’m just being stupid. or maybe i’m just in denial. but i’ve showed his texts to my friend (who all loved him and loved us as a couple) and have all said it seems really out of character for him. my heart has been shattered. i wholeheartedly believe there is not another girl involved in this. he’s just not that kind of person. he’s a good guy and i love him, but i don’t know what to do. we’ve talked and he’s said he’s considering making the breakup temporary, but it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen. i’ve told him i’m going to fight for him because i love him and i don’t think our relationship is worth throwing away over this. i truly believe we can work through it. i just don’t know what’s going on in his head. this isn’t him. it isn’t the boy i love. i love him and his family and everything about being with him. i don’t want to lose him. what do i do?

I had forgotten how to smile, and you reminded me. I had forgotten how to laugh, and you made me every single day. I had forgotten how to give and receive love, and you showed me. We never got good at taking compliments from one another, but we did our best. I miss telling you how gorgeous you looked every day and hearing you respond with, "Thank you," or "You're very sweet," and watching your face turn a shade of red. I miss being complimented by you and trying to turn it back around, only to be told, "No, we're talking about you right now. Take the compliment." I miss hiding my face behind my hood when you would. I miss the winter and watching you wrap your scarf around you so I couldn't see you blush. I miss our pool side suite where I would sit in the bathroom and talk to you while you were getting ready, and knowing that you were allowing me to do so even though you said you prefer to be alone during that time. I miss being a sit-on-the-same-side-of-the-booth-when-possible couple. I miss shoving pieces of sushi into your mouth when I didn't know how to respond to your kind words. I miss getting dressed and going out back in the middle of the night to smoke a cigarette, and how you would put on one of my hoodies and sit with me. I miss talking to you during that time about anything and everything as you put your feet on me and I started rubbing them without hesitation. I miss holding you as you fall asleep and your little twitches before you drift off. I miss waking up in the middle of the night, covered in sweat, and having to roll over so I could cool down, only for you to whine in your sleep because you knew I wasn't there. Every time I would quickly, and quietly, put my arms back around you, so that you wouldn't wake up fully. I miss opening doors for you, driving you, and treating you like the queen you absolutely deserve to be treated like. I miss you and everything about you that makes you the wonderful you that you are. I want to be trapped in a car during a hail storm with you and never let my lips leave yours. I want to walk around the city with you and notice all of the people smiling at us. I want to give you my jacket and refuse to admit that I am cold, because I don't want to make you feel guilty for taking it, even though I gave it willingly.
You have now, and always will, the other half of my soul. I miss you. I want you. I need you. I love you.

I was always considered to be extremely intelligent. I was always ahead of children my age - when I was 6, in kindergarten, I would be reading medical books instead of interacting with children and all adults (except for my parents) always praised me for my intelligence. Even in secondary school my physics teacher started rambling about how intelligent I am in the middle of the class because I got shy when she told me that my project was fantastic (it was absolutely embarrassing I wanted to disappear from the room), even though I had mediocre grades from this subject on that level (all B’s).
(Now, shortly: in my country, you get into highschool based on your points. Points = points from your final exams from secondary school added to your final grades from secondary school and eventual addictional activities/achievements. Classes in our highschools are strictly profiled: for example classes with extended biology-chemistry-maths or maths-physics-english etc.)
I got into the best class in my region. Actually, I was supposed to be in a different class, but you can always write a document to a headmaster, asking whether there is a room for a new student in a different class and they will most likely transfer you and that’s what I did.
Nonetheless, even if I didn’t get into this class, I would still be at the best school in my region. I’m in class with extended biology, chemistry and maths, with additional extended French (DELF course).
Being in here made me realize how insanely stupid I am. Dumb, empty and hopeless. Surrounded by all of these actually talented kids, being probably one of the worst students in the class.
(No I’m not failing anything. My grades are just mediocre. And mediocre is bad in my class, because the other kids have stunning performance)
Because I was smart. Intelligent, whatever. But not in general - I just was that compared to my other peers. And now when I’m faced with the best people from around my region, it opened my eyes.
It makes me feel so bad. Intelligence was the only good thing about me, ever. Because I’m ugly and not very social, and I would rather observe than be a part of something. Which is considered unattractive (in many meanings of that word) by an extremely big group of people.
And yeah, I befriended someone. We clicked so fast, because we’re so similar.
The difference between us, that we’re not similar in?
She is so fucking intelligent and beautiful at the same time.
(And guess who isn’t)
She gets good grades without studying, whereas I could study and still get a bad grade.
And far enough, I’ve had undiagnosed ADHD and just got diagnosed and all, but still. So many people with ADHD have extremely good performances and I’m just… there.
I’m glad that I got faced with this, because I was and always will be scared that I’m living in my own bubble. And I did, with my intelligence. But it just hurts so bad. I also want to be smart, and pretty, and cool and I also want to have good grades and good social life.

Hello,
