I swear my GF is always checking out my brother when we are all together.
So I (18M) and my girlfriend (18F) still live at home and so does my brother (20M).
Whenever we are out together or at the dinner table I’ve noticed over my girlfriend and I’s one year relationship that she is always turning away from me the minute my brother starts talking but barely even looks at me when I am, regardless of how long.
On top of this when conversation has stopped she is continually looking at his features like, vascular hands and other features.
One time my brother and I were having a gym session and I looked back after I had finished my squats to my girlfriend staring at my brothers arms as he was doing bent over dumbbell rows.
Please let me know if this is probably me overthinking something here or I should be feeling a little frustrated or something about this stuff and how to go about it?
My (28F) bf (27M) insinuates im high maintenance and it kinda pissed me off. For context , we always go dutch. Even my birthday dinner i paid for it. We normally eat home cooked meals or kopitiam/ food court and probably eat at restaurants once a month. He doesnt buy me flowers or gifts and i dont ever ask for it.
Frankly, i cook and clean ( i wash the toilets too ). On the other hand , he has never washed a toilet in his life. I think im considerably low maintenance already.
When i look at my female friends , most of their bf pay for all their things and never expect them to cook or clean. Most girls i know also get driven around by their partners too.
Tbf , im his first girlfriend. I think he has not seen what kind of high maintenance girls are out there.
Money or time question : his sentence was related to bringing me out and my type of clothes.
Dont worry my bf is a great guy , im just here to rant cause i dont wanna discuss with him while im angry. I also dont like to rant abt my rs to ppl who know him in rl ( my friends & family )
Also, people who said im seeking validation. Would you have said the same thing is the genders were reversed ? The same people would asked me to dump that unappreciative woman LOL
Here are what netizens think:
To me, as a girl, high maintainance is probably one of these few things. Drinking BBT or barista coffee everytime you go out. Needing to eat at cafe and restaurants every week. Only buying branded clothes and bags. Doing gelish every month. Taking grab everywhere you go. If going to restaurants on special occasions is high maintenance then he’s either dirt poor or a miser. If he want to prepare a special meal then it’s a different story. If not what does he expect, eat cai png for birthday? I’m sorry but he sounds like he doesn’t even want to maintain a gf.
I dont really buy branded clothes or bag ( i have 1 branded bag and wallet ). I rarely take grab and i dont do manicure at all haha. Maintaining a gf is very hard for him.. cause he was single for the most of his life.
My bf was single until 30. He’s… not like your bf. It’s definitely not because he was single for so long, and don’t let him use it as an excuse. Btw I never take grab and I don’t have branded bags, only mid tier ones. But I do get gel mani every month, so I consider myself average maintenance fwiw. He cleans my toilet and my dishes, 2 things which I told him I hate doing.
Hey, I pay for all these you mentioned for myself but I don’t consider myself high maintenance.
Graduating from university is an exceptional milestone in one’s life. It’s a moment of pride and accomplishment, marking years of hard work and dedication. Many graduates seek to make this day even more unforgettable by doing something extraordinary on stage to stand out.
However, one graduate from the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) tried to make his day unforgettable, and boy did he achieve that – by emphatically failing a backflip on stage after receiving his certificate, and landing face-first onto the ground.
Kissed the floor
Our story centers on one particular graduate who decided to take the unconventional route. As he received his Bachelor of Science with Honours in Physiotherapy from the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), he seized the opportunity to make a memorable exit.
With a brief glance at the audience, he hesitated and then crouched down. What happened next was a shock to everyone.
The graduate took a bold leap backward in an attempt to perform a celebratory backflip. However, he failed to stick the landing, and instead of landing on his feet, he landed flat on his face, much to the horrified gasps of the audience below, as well as a few muffled laughter. To add to the comedy, his mortarboard also ended up on the floor.
Well, at least he now has a Bachelor’s Degree in Physiotherapy that he can apply on himself.
Paiseh but plays it cool
Seemingly embarrassed beyond measure, the graduate then gets back up after “kissing” the floor and goes to pick up his items, as the presiding officer hands him his mortarboard that had flown off his head when he landed on his face. He then hastily made his way off the stage.
Additionally, the livestream of the event had 199 viewers who were equally entertained by the graduate’s unexpected acrobatics.
I’m a female and is just like you. My ex dumped me 12 years back and claimed that he’s just toying with me and all that we have went thru in the whole year was merely a bet he made with his peers.
His family were nice to me during our courtship and I missed him terribly for years even after being dumped by him, as he was the only one I thought I could connect with intellectually and we could have a great future together. I controlled myself well and did not try to get connected with him after stabilising my emotions thereafter.
Couple of years later, I got married to my husband who loves me more than himself and I will not hurt him in any way. At times, I still look at my ex’s photo to relieve the memories, but I do not dare to connect with him as I do not wish to have any unwanted misunderstandings.
I still have many questions for him but because of my status now, I’ve decided to bury all in my heart. In your case, if circumstances permit, u may wish to reach out to him/her to get a closure if there was unfinished business. Wishing you all the best.
Here are what netizens think:
Eh ppl shouldn’t mourn and grieve their ex longer than the time of their relationship. Eg. If you have only been with him a year, you shouldn’t still be missing him after 12 years. That’s… really waste of time and energy. don’t romanticise the memories and make it greater than it ever was. It’s just a guy who don’t like you and moved on. You should be doing the same.
If someone already told you the reason believe it. Do not create questions in your head..You cannot live in the past..Men are simple minded so if he said it was a bet then believe it. It is what it is..There was closure. You just did not accept it as closure because the reason is painful.
There is no question. To him you are just convinient s3x. There is no human able to dump 12 years relationship like that. We are not even do it for a dog lmao.You are just his s3x object so be grateful with your current husband
In today’s fast-paced world, ride-hailing apps have become an integral part of our daily lives, offering convenience and ease of transportation. However, not all experiences are smooth sailing.
The Introductory Ride
It all began when a woman in Singapore decided to book a ride through the carpool and ride-hailing app Ryde.
The woman initiated her journey from Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) mall, a location known for its multiple pick-up and drop-off points.
In an attempt to prevent any potential confusion, she informed the driver that she was waiting at “PLQ 3 residences drop off.” Little did she know that this simple instruction would be met with an unexpected response.
In response to her message, the driver’s reply was far from conventional. He stated, “Please follow the GPS as I am driving so can’t text you, otherwise, I will be sent to jail if I am caught text-driving.”
While she found this response somewhat unusual, she decided to go along with it, assuming it had a reasonable explanation.
A Turn in the Wrong Direction
Approximately 10 minutes into the ride, the woman began to notice something odd. Ryde’s location tracker revealed that the driver was heading in the opposite direction from where she had been waiting for the driver.
Concerned about this development, she messaged the driver to alert him of the mistake. However, the response she received was bewildering.
The driver insisted that he had arrived at the designated pick-up point, as indicated by the GPS. Despite her attempts to clarify the situation by sharing a screenshot of the map within the app along with his current location, he continued to argue that the GPS was accurate.
The woman told the driver that he was not at the pickup location, and the driver then told her “But the GPS said that I have arrived so should listen to you or the GPS?????!!?”
A Disconcerting Attitude
To add to the growing confusion, the driver suggested that he was doing her a favor by providing the ride since she had booked a RydePool, which he perceived as a hitch.
He also accused the woman of treating him like her “family’s personal driver” and said that he is doing her a “favour” by giving her a lift.
A Deteriorating Situation
As the journey continued, the situation took a turn for the worse, leaving the passenger both shocked and distressed.
The driver’s behavior escalated as he began to borderline shout at the woman, insisting that she fasten her seatbelt.
He explained that failing to do so could result in his being jailed or fined. His tone and demeanor left the woman feeling uneasy and perplexed.
Unpleasant Interactions
Things went from bad to worse when a second passenger joined the RydePool. When the woman attempted to suggest that the driver communicate more politely, his reaction was far from expected. In fact, he appeared to become irate, which only added to the distress of the passengers.
In the woman’s own words, the driver’s behavior reached a shocking climax. She described him as appearing ready to resort to violence when she implied that he was being rude, saying that he “looked like he was about to throw me a punch”.
Feeling threatened, the woman stated that the driver abruptly stopped the car and asked her to exit. He made it clear that he no longer wanted her as a passenger and even said that he would cancel her booking altogether, as he kicked her out.
next driver that picked me up was shocked cos he told me it’s lawfully illegal for drivers to chase their passengers out of the car after they accepted the ride
My bf of 10 years and I haven’t slept together but we are happy. Are we weird?
My bf and I are together for 10 years and we have lived together for a couple of years. I am 100% sure he does not watch any adult content
His secondary school friends tried to share some videos with him before but he felt weirded out and that it was disgusting and intrusive to watch other people. He thinks it is disrespectful.
Sometimes I ask him if he wants to try watching for fun but he strongly insists that he doesn’t want to.
We have gone overseas together and sleep on the same bed together every night. However we just have no reason to get naughty?
I hear of SO many friends doing the deed but we are just happy eating, watching shows, chatting, holding hands, hugging…
recently I keep wondering if we are a weird and strange couple. Feels like we are the odd one out. But we are happy and fulfilled. Is there something wrong with us?
We have no desire to get intimate but yes we are attracted to each other. I think he’s very handsome and attractive and he thinks I’m cute and funny. Is it we lack some chemicals in our body ?!
Legal advice? Threatened to take legal action over inability to pay for water damages to her laptop.
I’m a 18 year old female working two jobs to support my school costs and recently I attended a school competition with other students.
The accident happened while 6+ people were sharing a small table using their laptops for a competition. I turned my laptop to lend it to my friend and accidentally tipped over an unattended open cup of water placed there by the organisers.
I was unaware of the cup being there. The owner of the laptop ran away out of anger after she noticed her laptop was damaged after efforts of trying to save it.
I did not receive communication and was unable to get in touch w her for a few days only to suddenly receive a message from her parents demanding 2.9k for her MacBook Pro repair.
To be clear, my own laptop is reimbursed by school and I am under financial aid from my school. I am completely unable to fork out 2.9k.
A few days later I reached out to her to go to simlim square with her to get her laptop checked and fixed, they quoted $200-$500 but was unable to fix it.
Following this her father told me to either pay for the repair from apple (2.9k) or buy her a new macbook pro for school (2.9k) and informed me if I did not that they would take legal action against me.
Netizens’ comments
To my limited knowledge. They can’t really “sue” you for this small damage. Don’t let them scare you into it. Let them hound you, you don’t have to reply. Don’t give them your address and details. Not even sure if this could be brought to small claims tribunal. And the open cup of water was placed there by the organizers.” But first, have you confirmed her macbook in actuality costs 2.9k?
Yea it’s a MacBook Pro 2021 with 1TB storage. They know vague details like my name and my mothers number.
Just ignore, ask them find the organiser. If they can afford to sue you, they won’t even find u for the 2.9k.
How come got money to sue but no money to pay for their daughter’s laptop repair? Losers
The family has no recourse against you, they need to prove that the laptop wasn’t damaged further after the incident. For your info, electronics shouldn’t be turned on immediately after water damage. So by doing that, the owner has further damaged the Mac book and I bet you she has done it several times to try and revive it. Record the conversation down with an audio app if you want to continue entertaining them. Otherwise, just block the parents number and move on. Lawyer is a very expensive last resort action that no sane person will undergo.
As the title suggests, I was walking along a mall in Singapore with my SO when a little girl abruptly started reversing in my direction quite quickly. I barely made it in time to avoid her.
She appeared to have lost her balance for a split second but quickly regained it i.e. she did NOT fall down.
Before I could even respond, I heard the mother very loudly exclaiming “! Are you alright?! WHY THIS PERSON LIKE THAT?!?!”. For clarity, “this person” mentioned by the mum, is me.
I was really confused as I was not the one who ran into the kid.. this kid reversed into me out of nowhere. What did the mum expect me to do? What would you have done in such a situation?
Netizens’ comments
You should have shouted “<child’s name>! Are you alright?! WHY YOUR MOTHER NEVER TAKE CARE OF YOU!?!”
Shoot the mom a dirty look and tell her off for not watching her kid
I encountered similar incident years ago. A child fall down in front of me (a few steps away from us),then my friend and I went over to help her stand up and was about to ask is she okay,out of nowhere the mother walk over and asked her child is she okay and start accusing us we knocked the girl down. We tried explaining but no use. Since then whenever I see kids running around in the mall or walkway,I tried to keep a distance or lookout for the kid’s running direction.
There are Karens starting to sprout out all over now.
Truth be told, I’d siam and brace her shoulders expecting her to fall. Even if she wasn’t falling, a stranger grasping a kid’s shoulder should disrupt whatever state of mind they’re in to be alert and behave again. Most of the time.
Confused… did she mean because you got out of the way instead of trying to catch her from falling? I mean, if I see a little girl about to fall, I’d try and catch her instead of saying, “whew, good thing I got out of the way quick.”
So yeah, the night before my wedding my ex-husband (you can already see where this is going I’m sure) told me he had never actually wanted to get married, and since we had lost our virginity to each other a year into dating, he wanted more experiences and had cheated on me with his coworker.
You know, the one he had told me not to worry about a couple months earlier. He then said that the only way he wanted to still get married was if we opened our new marriage and he could sleep with other people.
At first I was in disbelief, and I was so terrified about what would happen if my parents found out that the guy they had warned me about (go figure) turned out to be a cheater. I spent most of the night crying and in shock, but I eventually agreed, and the wedding was back on. Hooray…
So the next morning, I’m terrified the whole time that he is going to back out and not show up to the wedding. But he does! We get married, go home, and don’t talk about the cheating/open relationship for a couple days.
Eventually, he reminds me of our deal, and asks when he can start seeing other people again. I ask him if he would wait a couple months to give me time to settle in to our marriage and recover from his confession of cheating. It was only a couple weeks later that he “let me know” he was going to “visit” his coworker that next weekend.
After about 1.5 months, I decide to try sleeping with an old friend/crush who I trusted to tell about my situation. It was great! And much needed to boost my confidence.
I ended up having one night stands with about 10 people during the next year, while my ex husband saw about 3 women consistently. Everything changed when I met Danny (fake name). I met him in class at uni, and we both were instantly attracted to each other.
I got his number, and we slept together once. Then twice. Normally I would stop at one or two times, but I liked his energy in bed so much that I wanted to keep seeing him.
Now this is where I’m at fault. I fell in love with Danny. HARD. I told Danny about my open relationship, and how the openness came about. He later told me that he didn’t expect me to be with HIM, but he didn’t think my ex was good for me. Danny pointed out all the times my ex had broken boundaries: staying out all night without telling me he wasn’t coming home, and telling his coworker that he LOVED her, although my ex told me he was just lying to his coworker to appease her.
Long story short, after realizing the kind of loving, trusting relationship I could have with Danny, and that things would never be the same with my ex, I broke things off. My ex obviously asked if there was someone else, and I told him yes. My ex wasn’t surprised or angry. He seemed to expect that this might happen, and didn’t blame me for being “unfaithful” and wanting to be with someone else. Long story short, I’m now over a year divorced, and engaged to Danny. Both of us are so excited to be getting married next year, and Danny can’t tell me enough how excited he is to have me as his wife. Im the happiest I’ve ever been, full of confidence and excitement for the future.
Just goes to show that divorce is definitely the right option for some, and some people should never get married in the first place. And never let fear of what others will think push you accepting terms you don’t 100% agree with.
I’m now six months pregnant and he’s married – so he’s been cheating on his wife with me for three years.
I know he won’t leave her but the baby will be here soon. He knows he has to tell her because you can’t secretly co-parent a child but he’s scared.
I want it out in the open so I can have that plan in place sooner rather than later.
How wrong would I be to tell her myself?
Here are what netizens think:
Welcome to single parenthood!
Honestly unless you want to be a poor sole parent, people should only be having kids in a committed long term relationship.. untimely this is her choice.. there were options here but now they are long gone.. her body, her choice, her decision to become a sole parent.. keep it or adopt it out are the only two left now.. how can someone with a whole other family not be throwing up red flag after red flag and you not notice it is beyond me..
It’s a growing trend in modern society sadly and it’s only going to get worse until we start taking responsibility for our actions and stop enabling hedonism. I think it’s a direct result of promiscuity, unresolved mental health, hook-up culture
Men have been having mistress’s for 1000’s of years. It’s the reason children born out of wedlock didn’t have any inheritance rights – the men could shag left, right and centre and didn’t have to take care of any babies created.
I guess a part of me feels just slightly sorry for you, that you have that low self esteem. I’ve been where you are. Mine lasted..3 months. 3 months. I knew what I was doing was so very wrong, and I did the right thing and ended it, then got myself into therapy.
