The guy i’ve mentioned i’ve knows for a few years. we both met through temporary work and exchanged contact info since we had similar hobbies snd interests.

i had a feeling this guy liked me. he was very flirty from the get-go.he’s an alright guy; funny, nice, but i just felt no connection or attraction that i’ve felt in past relationships.

when we first starting talking, i didn’t know how to turn him down. i was 19, had only had a few short relationships, and was stuck in the mentality of agreeing or going along with things to avoid confrontation. i would hang out with him once in a while and then go my separate way.

we recently planned to hang out, and he asked if it was a date. i was straight up and told him no. he asked if he had a chance in the future and i also said no. he was disappointed but said he respected my choice.

i’m proud that i’ve gotten to the place where i feel like i can firmly say no to things i don’t want. i just thought i would share this small victory.

I am a limited edition goods, I won’t accept any dogs and cats and other strays that come to me. I expect a man who is good looking and has a fancy looking car to fit my status.

Here are what netizens think:

The best part is that the more you do it, the easier it gets. Be EXTREMELY proud of yourself. There are people, women and men, who never get to that point in life.

That’s got to feel so good! And honestly good for him for taking it like an adult. Hopefully he meant it when he said he would respect it.

Yeah you’re about to go from limited edition to antique in a few years.

Before u guys judge me, please hear me out. I often frequent Thai disco / Siam Diu as a means to de-stress. I find that the loud music and spinning lights help take the stress away from my work.

Like any other visit, I sat at my usual spot when a petite silhouette from afar caught my attention. Her round eyes, sharp nose, and elongated legs is what many would consider “attractive”. Not to mention that her long and silky hair that is constantly brushing against her shoulder line; any man would subconsciously gravitate toward her and I was no exception.

I could not help but to glance in her direction without making it too obvious. I got caught eventually and we exchanged eye contact for a good 10 seconds. She understood the assignment and came over for a chat. As we began sharing more about each other, I realized that we have many things in common. We immediately clicked as though we had known each other right from the beginning. She introduced herself as “Moon.”

At that moment, I felt as though I had found my soulmate. Talking to Moon made me forget about my fatigue from work. It was as though time had stopped. Deep down, I was sincerely hoping that the conversation could last forever. Time flew quickly, and before I knew it, the place was closing for the night. We exchanged contact and parted ways.

The next day, my phone rang. On answering, I was greeted by a familiar voice. It was Moon. My face lit up knowing that I could connect with her again. We agreed to meet up at a Thai restaurant called NaNa at Golden mille.

NaNa restaurant is a famous Thai restaurant in SG. Moon claimed to be a frequent patron of the place as their food tasted close to home. She even use the opportunity to teach me the name of the dishes in Thai. Halfway through our meal, she was rudely interrupted by a phone call which led her to leaving the restaurant. She claimed that she had something urgent to attend to, and needed to excuse herself. She sounded anxious.

Feeling concerned, I quickly paid the tab and followed her. I was soon led to one of the floor exits where I found her seated on the stairs and sobbing uncontrollably. I approached her to check on her. My presence caught her off guard and, almost immediately, she apologized for leaving me alone in the restaurant. She then went on to explain what happened. Turns out, her mom was terminally ill, and needed money for her operation. Sympathizing with her plight, I agreed to help her out without much hesitation.

As I was about to get up and make the withdrawal. She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her. She gave me a peck on my cheek to express her gratitude. Things got heated up and we made love in a public space. Despite the shabby location, the S was good and memorable. The day ended on a good note with her settling her family matters with my financial support.

That incident pulled us closer as we started hanging out more. Despite numerous warnings from my friends and family about her intention, I chose to believe her as I felt that the society perception towards hostress is based on stereotypes.

Bf wants to sleep with multiple people

I came into a relationship, it’s been almost 10 months now. We are pretty serious and planned a pretty detailed future together, but a new information came to light.

He had mentioned earlier that he wants to sleep with various people with different features and personality, to which I responded with okay but I will do the same and after which he backed out. I thought he wasn’t that serious.

I am not an attractive woman, I think that he might be feeling like he is missing out by being with me. I am not his dream girl but I do know he loves me so he won’t be able leave me. I have been getting this feeling that one day someone better will come along and he will regret choosing me, he won’t leave me even then.

I have been very loving, patient and giving in this relationship. I thought before all this that we are the only ones for each other, because he kept reassuring me that I am his “everything”.

We were having a very loving conversation and our conversation led to this topic, while we were discussing about our future and talking about building a family, somehow the conversation got to him wanting to sleep with other people. I said that he cannot, he argued is it wrong that he wants to experience. I said is it okay if I go and fulfill my fantasies as well then, to which he opposed very firmly.

At this point the fact that I was thinking about our future a minute ago to this, I was on my verge because times are hard right now, we are in a long distance relationship and we are not able to communicate properly mostly from his side for days and we have been fighting a lot so safe to say I have been really patient.

I feel that his treatment, his whole attitude would have been different if I was his dream girl and if I was pretty.

I cried the whole night, while he went to sleep. I wrote in my diary, bawled my eyes out and decided to be by his side till he pulls himself out of a difficult situation in which he is in rn, it might take him about 2-3 years. He is in a very dire situation, suicidal you can say.

And when he gets to where he desires I am going to leave him to live his best live, so that he can explore. Because I cannot be loved in fractions, it hurts. Also I don’t want any of us to miss out on anything.

I want to be loved fully, whole and just feel that. Also I want him to experience whatever he wants in life. Both of these things cannot coexist and I don’t want either to miss out on one.

How do I tell my boyfriend I just want to be f-ed??

Please advice, my boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years! We have a child together and for some reason our bedroom activities is suddenly so DRY.

Before we had our child we would f almost everyday and now I’m lucky if we have a quickie once a month!!!!! I’m so confused but he’s such a family man so I don’t think he’s cheating but WTF is happening.

He doesn’t like doing doggy or wild positions with me as he says it’s degrading for me… ummm I do not give a f, that is what I WANT.

It’s all strange and I can’t make sense of it. We get intimate, missionary.. it lasts no more than 10 minutes, I am so bored of it, sick of it. To the point.. I’m like am I really going to break my family up because I’m FRUSTRATED.

I feel awkward to tell him I just want to literally f him like I used to, he wants me to be such a lady and makes me feel awkward when I try to spice things up. Any advice, pleaaase???

1. The way you describe wanting to be f-ed, is that something he used to do and no longer does or he never did it at all?
2. You’ll have to sit down and talk with him. Schedule a date night, kiddo spends the night with a sitter or family out of the house or y’all go to a hotel. Go out for a movie or dinner and then on the way home have an awkward car talk about how you miss being pushed down and ravished like he can’t get enough of you. Let him know that your needs are not being met
3. I found it hard to not put my wife on a pedestal after she had our kids. I looked at her more like something amazing and sacred instead of just wanting to pull her hair and smack her @ss. I got over it, took awhile and a serious conversation, but I did. Still think she’s amazing and something to cover, but now it’s back to just wanting to get nasty with her. Just talk to him. If it’s him putting you on a pedestal, he’ll want to make you happy.

After a wild night of drinking, I made the mistake of welcoming my best friend into a three some with my husband and I. At first it was one of those whoa that was wild moments but then it continued to happen.

About two weeks ago, I had a gut feeling something wasn’t right based on her behavior. She seemed to be always coming around almost everyday and flirting with him in no direct ways.

I relayed to my husband that I had a feeling she liked him. He responded with, yeah maybe that’s why she has been acting all weird in front of me.

Well, last weekend, we had a girls trip and she got extremely hammered. I had no clue that she was communicating with my husband behind my back.

She was bad mouthing me and spreading lies about how unhappy I was and complaining about our bedroom activities (which I never discussed with her) and he believed her.

He was so upset at hearing this that he told her how I had mentioned that I thought she liked him. That opened up hell. She held that info for about 3 hours until she blurted it out “so you think I have a crush on your husband? I thought we were friends. I thought you could come to me about this” on and on and on.

She was really affected by this. I was too upset (with my husband) to respond to her so I put a wall up and didn’t respond or look at her. She did her usual thing which is okay victim and stupidly drive drunk at 3am all the way home.

2 days later I come to find out by looking thru my husbands phone that my gut feeling was absolutely correct. She had been texting my husband. Now, trust me, my husband is also at fault here. But the reason why I’m discussing her end is because she tried to manipulate the situation and lie and say that this never happened when I have the proof.

She wanted so badly to have alone time with him. They even met up one night recently and she got handsy with him as they were saying goodbye.

Then, just last week, I trusted to leave them alone for 20 minutes and he said she tried to go down on him but he stopped her. And when I say tried I mean her mouth was already on it.

She is in full denial and she is upset with me because I called her every name in the book. She states I have no right to do that but that is her way of manipulating the situation.

Long story short, I can’t believe I trusted someone and they went behind my back and did this. I’ve lost every sense of feeling and have no idea what to do next. We have children that I need to consider in whatever outcome I choose.

My mom doesn’t think I’m attractive but I think I am. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

I always hear people say it’s not uncommon for a parent to think their child is beautiful. And “you’re only saying I’m beautiful because you’re my parent.”

But it’s not like that for me. I remember looking at myself in the mirror checking myself out and my mom telling me to stop showing off. I always thought I had a good body with curves in all the right places. I liked admiring myself.

But my mom didn’t. I remember asking her if I could play outside and she asked me “what you wanna show off your body? Or whatever you call a body? Is that what it is? You wanna model?”

That really sucked. I was really confident about my looks and I thought my mom would be proud of that. But instead she made me feel bad about myself.

1. When I was putting the final touches on my makeup for prom night, my mother passed by the open bathroom door and said, “You’re not as pretty as you think you are.”
   Mind you, I was a shy girl. I almost never wore makeup or dresses. This was basically a one-time thing, and I’d just worked my way out of obesity, and for just that moment I’d felt like a princess.
   In that moment, it absolutely tore me up. I still feel a little gut clench when I think about it, not because it still hurts but because I feel so much pity for that poor girl I was who just wanted to feel pretty for one night and wasn’t allowed to. I look at the pictures now, and I looked amazing.
   Here’s the thing that I realize now: my mom was used to being the pretty one. That’s what her whole life was about. At that point, she was aging while I was hitting my prime, and she just couldn’t stand that.
   My daughter went to her first prom last year, and seeing her all made up (she doesn’t really dress up much either) brought tears to my eyes—she was so very beautiful. My beauty is fading and I’m getting older, but I’ve grown so much internally that I don’t really need it anymore, and I’m not jealous of her or any other young woman. That’s what we’re supposed to do.
   You are beautiful, too. It’s a shame your mom can’t see it, and I’m sorry for it.
2. Your mom is projecting her own insecurities onto you instead of acknowledging that you look good. I’m sorry that you’re in that situation.

Tragedy struck on Monday, July 9th, as a 33-year-old worker from India lost his life in a devastating accident involving a heavy vehicle at a worksite in Jurong West, according to a report by The Straits Times.

On July 9th, at approximately 3:40 PM, the accident occurred along 1 Buroh Close. The victim, a 33-year-old worker employed by BSN Tech Engineering, was preparing his tipper truck for unloading when a wheel loader reversed into him.

Tragically, the impact proved fatal, and the worker was pronounced dead at the scene.

Star Ready-Mix, a supplier of ready-mix concrete in Singapore, occupied the work site where the accident took place.

Investigation by the Ministry of Manpower

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has launched a thorough investigation into the accident to determine the causes and possible lapses in safety measures.

As a result of the incident, MOM has instructed the occupier of the worksite to halt all vehicular operations until the investigation is complete.

Melvin Yong, the MP for the Radis Mas SMC and also the Assistant Secretary-General and director at the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), addressed the recent spate of workplace accidents in a Facebook post.

[Disturbing series of workplace accidents]

In the past 1.5 months, we have witnessed a disturbing trend in workplace safety that demands our immediate attention and action.

With the unfortunate occurrence of the 15th fatality this year alone and the 4th fatality after the announcement of exit from Heighten Safety Period (HSP) on 31 May 2023, we need to step up our efforts and prioritise the safety and well-being of every single person working within every organisation.

Each loss of life is a devastating event that leaves an indelible mark on the affected worker’s family and others who are involved. We must not let these tragedies be repeated again and again, for every life lost represents a profound failure on everyone who did not fulfil their duty of care to our workers.

In light of recent events, NTUC and its affiliated unions urge every company and organisation to take immediate and decisive action to rectify this unacceptable situation and do right for all persons who are working. The companies and organisations should carry out the following:

1. Safety Timeout: A planned event whereby companies take time off from their daily work routine to take stock of and review the existing workplace safety and health (WSH) systems and work processes or particular activity; and thereafter implement necessary measures to keep safety practices in check and uphold good WSH standards.
2. Training and Education: Invest in comprehensive safety training programs for all employees, regardless of their role or tenure. This training will not be a one-time event but an ongoing process to reinforce the importance of safety, enhance hazard identification skills, and foster a culture of proactive safety awareness.
3. Employee Engagement and Empowerment: We believe that safety is a collective responsibility, and everyone in any organisation must actively participate in maintaining a safe workplace. Reporting unsafe practices saves lives. Companies must therefore provide open communication channels and empower employees to report hazards, near-misses, and potential risks without fear of reprisal. We strongly encourage every organisations to establish a dedicated safety committee and clear reporting channels to ensure continuous feedback and improvement.

NTUC and its affiliated unions will continue to work with companies’ management and workers to create a workplace where safety is paramount, and every individual feels valued, protected, and secure.
