When I first heard the words “will you BTO me, a wedding table price”, my heart sank.

I knew immediately what they meant and it was a bitter pill to swallow. It was a reminder of the high prices of wedding tables that one has to pay in Singapore and a reminder of the ridiculous prices of housing in Singapore.

I remember when I was first starting out on my own, wanting to buy my own place. It seemed like an impossible dream. The prices of housing in Singapore were so high, it felt like an unobtainable goal. With prices of a new HDB flat costing as much as $700,000 or more, it seemed like the only way I could afford a place was to get a loan.

But even then, it was a struggle. I was a student at the time, and the loan repayment plan didn’t make things easier. The monthly payments could be a strain on my finances. I felt like I was stuck in a never-ending cycle of debt, and it seemed impossible to get out.

So when I heard the words of “marriage”, I couldn’t help but feel a rush of stress.

But getting married and happiness is often short-lived when I realised the prices of wedding tables in Singapore. I was taken aback by how high the prices were. I mean, I knew weddings can be expensive, but I didn’t realise how expensive it was to rent a table for a wedding in Singapore. The prices of wedding tables in Singapore can be as high as $2,000 – $3,000 for one table!

That’s when I realised how ridiculous the prices of housing and other things in Singapore are. How can a simple table for a wedding cost more than a car? It just doesn’t make any sense.

But then again, I guess that’s just the way things are in Singapore. Prices of housing and other things are ridiculously high, and the prices of wedding tables are no exception.

It can be disheartening to think about, but I guess I just have to accept it. After all, the prices of housing and other things are high in Singapore, and that’s just the way it is.

But I’m still glad that I can afford to buy 20 tables for my wedding. It might be expensive, but at least I can finally have a wedding of my own. It might not be the most luxurious wedding, but it will be special nonetheless.

And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters. I’m getting married to the person I love, and that’s all that matters.

I have been in a relationship with a crazy girl for the past 6 years. We both met when studying at NUS. We started out as FWB before she proposed to be my gf. I recently chanced upon her boasting in secret chats that I was the best she ever had and sharing how she felt that I was out of her league. To date, the best thing in our relationship is still the S, and that is pretty much the only thing keeping the relationship going.

Sometimes I feel like a garbage collector because of the crazy things she does and the problems I have to deal with when she goes crazy.

Just yesterday she called the police on me because I refused to have S with her the previous night. And if you ever see a girl crying, screaming and shouting in public, that’s probably her… This happens 99% of the time when I do not have S with her the previous night or the very morning. So Im forced to spend hours every day having S with her. Has anyone dated a girl like this or is also stuck in the same predicament?!

Here are what netizens think:

• She called the police because you don’t want to have S?… Hmmm, I’d pay actual money to get photocopy of the police report.

• Just announce 4 words “I’m irresistible in bed” enough. No need to spend 2 paragraph

• To brag, you need a sane girl for credibility

• You should have ventured off to Japan AV where u can do us proud… And it pays well too

• If u are unwilling it’s R. Report her, it’s not a joke to be force into S. I am unsure why ppl loves to laugh at guys getting force into S. If this story was a girl complaining her bf the comments would be different. This really got to change. Why only woman must be willing, and guys can’t be forced?

I am a uni student. I have been in a few relationships since beginning to date in JC. My last relationship was the most serious and my longest. It is honestly another story within itself, but basically we ended things because it was not a healthy relationship and long-distance wasn’t working for us. I honestly thought she was the one so I was very upset after breaking up, especially because we had broken up before but I knew that this time was official. I haven’t spoken to her since last March, and I’m glad to say I’ve long since gotten over her. I also feel like I gained a lot of maturity in terms of relationships after that.

Around the same time, I met another girl. I’m pretty involved on campus so I ended up joining a school group. She is very good friends with my friends.

To cope with my breakup I started to spend a lot of time with them and got very close to them and another of his friends. After a couple months, I realized I had caught feelings for this girl. Let’s say her name is Anna. I realized I was catching feelings and told me that they think we would be good for each other and that I should make a move. At this point, I was cautious since I was still recently out of a relationship, so I decided to keep getting to know her.

We began to hang out a lot more and eventually went on a dinner “date” even though we didn’t call it that and it was awkward since it was our first time hanging out by ourselves. But we still kept hanging out with our friends after that and agreed to hang out together again, just us two. So now it’s the beginning of last summer and we both go home for break. Thankfully we live pretty close to each other so about two weeks after going home, we hang out again. We get ice cream and talk for hours on a bench. At this point I know I really like her but don’t make a move yet because I’m not ready for a relationship. After hanging out we don’t talk much for the rest of the summer because we had very different plans and she’s not the best texter. I basically lose hope at this point.

Fast forward to august and we are back at school. We get in contact again and basically start hanging out again before school really picks up. We hangout alone several more times and I am still trying to pick up her vibe, but she is hard to read. Eventually, her friends tell me that Anna is not sure what she wants to do even though she does like me too. She had never been in a relationship before so she didn’t know what to expect. At this point, I plan on talking to her about my feelings for her for the first time actually telling her how I feel. She agrees to talk. We never end up talking because she kept pushing it back saying she was too busy with school. We stop talking but we see each other at social events but something feels different now. We stop talking for about a month. She ends up getting to know some of my friends in my organization and I eventually find out one of my younger friends likes her and I guess they start dating (this is now December of this past year). They only date for a bit before breaking things off (I’m not sure if it was bad or not) she stops coming around for a couple weeks.

Now recently she’s been around again and we’ve been texting too. I think I’m realizing I’m still into her. I’m unsure whether to pursue things since she dated my friend (that I’m not very close to) and that’s like bro-code, and also cause I’m not sure if she’s interested in me or not. For all I know, she could just see me as a friend. I know I’m young and there are many girls out there, but I think I still do like her. Any advice?

I (33) think my current husband (33) thinks it was my fault my ex husband was aggressive to me
The first time he told me this, it was before we got married. he said he didn’t mean it. So I forgave him.

Now I found out he told his Mom recently (2 weeks ago) that he still thinks that the reason why my ex hit me is because I had too much personality.

This hurts so bad. It took me a long time to convince myself that it was not my fault my ex hit me. The police who helped me in the past once said, there is no excuse for someone to hit a woman. It was one of the things that convinced me to leave my ex.

Now I am back to zero mentally. I am doubting myself again.

I’m not sure if I should confront him as he might just say whatever he thinks that will appease me. Of course he will tell me again that he does not think It was my fault. But does not really mean it.

What should I do?

We cant afford counseling.

Netizens’ comments

That’s victim blaming and it’s really messed up. Unless you are putting someone in true danger, there is never a good reason to get physical with someone. That’s why it’s a crime to do so.

People who say and think things like this are often not worth the air they breathe. It’s unfortunate that you have such bad luck with partners.
