My s/o doesn’t accept advice from ME but will accept the same advice from anyone else. Why?

My s/o absolutely hates when I’m right and very rarely will admit it. I am wrong at times and will admit I am wrong when it’s deemed necessary.

Whenever I give him advice on something, he hates it and goes into a rage.

One time I gave him advice and he didn’t like it but a couple days later, his grandparent gave him the exact same advice and he took it and even admitted how right they were.

This is an ongoing thing. A homeless man can run up to him and tell him something I told him and he will accept the advice wholeheartedly but if I do it, it’s wrong, it’s an issue, I’m the problem etc.

Why is this? On a psychological level, why is it when a partner gives them constructive criticism, advice etc. it’s absolutely out the window?

Hello everyone. I wanted to share something with you, maybe someone has been in a similar situation.

My gf and I have been dating for over 3 years now. Back then we were both poor asf because we were in University. But after about a year we both got jobs.

After a while we started going on trips, and one of her goals was to have a trip every month, no matter how short or long. But also to go outside of Asia to visit other continents.

Previously,we managed to go to Italy for a whole month, both of us being vaccinated, and work from there. All of that pretty much ate all of our savings that we put aside every month. Afterwards, she went on some solo trips to meet her friends in other European cities. That doesn’t bother me.

She out-earns me on a monthly basis, especially since she gets quarterly bonuses from her job, which are basically another salary. So on average, she earns twice my salary. I was raised in a very frugal manner because we were barely making it on a monthly basis, so a huge fear of mine is to need money and not have them. This makes always saving and looking for the cheapest option.

Lately, we have been to Spain for another holiday, right before our companies called us back in the office. She paid for everything because I literally had no money set aside due to a long trip we took last December. Spain was her dream and she seemed so happy about going and I also had the time of my life.

But now, she wants to keep her goal of going on a trip every month. I just got my salary and for the first time in more than a year I managed to set aside $1,500 and it makes me feel extremely safe (it’s not enough, obviously, but it’s the first step I guess). Now last evening she opened the flights app and asked me: ‘Where do you want to go next?’ And that’s when I sunk, because it made me feel like I HAD to go to one more trip and spend all the money.

For more clarity, one of my goals for life is to be able to retire at 40 years old, maybe 45 of the market doesn’t do great. So I calculated I should put aside around $1000 a month and invest them. I barely managed to put aside $200 in the past years so now I am way behind my goal.

After I told her I don’t want to go on trips with her, we had a big argument and said that this is a deal-breaker (not sure what she meant, it’s not a relationship breaker…I hope). And accused me that now that I have to spend my own money again, I don’t want to go on trips (a reference to the Spain trip which she paid for – she has a point here).

I love her very much and it makes me extremely sad and annoyed with myself that I said those things. I told her to go solo or with some of her friends, but always says that prefers to go with me (which I get, because we are very compatible from many perspectives).

But am I wrong in this situation? I’m not saying that I will never travel again, I just want to do it with a safety net behind me.

I told my brother that if he proposed to my ex-girlfriend, I wouldn’t show up to the wedding or speak to him ever again?

My older brother is in a serious relationship with a woman who I dated. They have been together for three years. Prior to that she and I had dated for 5 years.

We were poly school sweethearts, and I was deeply in love with her. She dumped me seemingly out of nowhere and about 3 weeks later they went on their “first” date, she was in a relationship with my older brother. I have no proof of overlap. I have no proof that she was talking to him at the same time as she was dating me. Honestly, I didn’t want to look for the proof as I didn’t want to damage our relationship over a girl however, I think it’s pretty obvious. This feeling has been in my mind for years and part of me resents them for it. I also feel kind of betrayed that my older brother would shack up with a girl who dumped me while I was still trying to get over her.

This week, my brother announced that he was going to propose to her. Everyone in my family was happy for him except me. I couldn’t be. He is marrying someone who I saw myself marrying for years because he picked her up while I wasn’t looking. I tried to hide it but I couldn’t suppress it anymore. After I got the news, I called my brother and gave it to him straight. I told him that I couldn’t be happy for him and that I couldn’t let this be a part of my life anymore. I told him that if he proposes to her I won’t be at his wedding because I will no longer consider him my brother. He will be a stranger to me.

He was upset. He told me that I need to get over the past and that if she wanted to be with me, she wouldn’t have left me for him in the first place. He said that I was being immature and making his proposal and his relationship all about me. I felt like I was being pretty generous with this.

All of my family is mad at me and is on his side. They all think I’m jealous and just looking to start a fight over this girl. I don’t want to cause drama, if he wants to propose that’s his decision and I will make mine.

I’ve been playing TOTO every week for the past few months, and at first I thought I was going to be the lucky one that would win the jackpot.

But now, after all this time, I’m starting to realize that my chances of winning are worse than a scammer returning my money.

It’s not that I’m not trying to win, but the odds of winning TOTO are extremely low. In fact, the chances of winning the TOTO jackpot are 1 in 14 million, which is pretty much impossible. Even if you manage to get all 6 numbers right, the odds of someone else getting the same numbers are still incredibly high.

Meaning you will have to share it.

The other thing is that the amount of money you can win from TOTO is much lower than from other forms of gambling. The jackpot for TOTO is usually around $1 million, good if you win the firs prize but… if you win the smaller prized it’s nothing compared to other forms of gambling. In addition, the prizes for the lower tiers are quite small as well.

So why even bother playing TOTO if the odds are so low?

Well, I think it’s a good way to have a bit of fun and pass the time. I also think it gives me a sense of hope as if I could win the jackpot one day. But I know deep down inside that my chances of winning are slim to none.

That’s why I’m starting to think that my chances of winning TOTO are worse than a scammer returning my money. A scammer is someone who takes your money and never returns it, and the chances of getting your money back from a scammer are very low. But at least with a scammer, there’s a chance of getting your money back. With TOTO, however, there’s practically no chance of winning the jackpot.

So for now, I’m going to keep playing TOTO every week, but I’m going to be realistic about it. I know my chances of winning are very low, and I’m not going to put too much hope in it. I’m just going to enjoy the game and hope for the best. As they say, “hope springs eternal.”

A netizen shared a story about how he spent more than $2,000 on several spelled items from a black magic practitioner, as well as to cast a spell on him to help him strike 4D.

Here is what he said

“To start off with, I have always been a firm believer in the supernatural, witchcraft, black magic and whatnot.

I remember years ago I prayed to my late grandmother and did the thing where you write numbers 0-9 on pieces of paper, fold them and shake them inside a can until 4 number drop out.

I went and bought those 4 numbers and won $60, and that was when my belief and addiction began.

I spent upwards of $2,000 on several spells from a local black magic practitioner who claimed that she had a 80% track record.

I bought an abacus ring which she had spelled to “draw in the riches”, and she also casted a spell on me to boost my windfall luck.

I then spent every week religiously going to Singapore Pools to buy 4D, each time betting about $10, hoping that I would finally win money.

But more than half a year have passed and I still haven’t struck anything.

The total money that I have spent, including my bets, amounted to more than $2.5k already. But the witch told me that these kind of things take time.

So I’m keeping the faith, and hopefully my faith will pay off soon.”
