24F am currently 13 weeks pregnant but not really showing yet.

Context

At this station, it happens to have 2 empty seats, reserved seat and one beside it.

I went over to the one beside the reserve seat and just nice this aunty also sat down beside me she then told her husband go to the opposite seats, unfortunately it was also taken by the time he move over, then the aunty started eyeing me and told her unker husband “young people snatch seat with senior” in chinese.

I looked at her and told her “i am pregnant”, she then replied, “congrats” in chinese sarcastic tone lah. I wasn’t even offended here, i know all these entitled SG AUNTY UNKER pattern. (they looked just like aunty uncle, not ahgong ahma type ya)

She later then made a comment, not looking at me and said “don’t even have big stomach” in chinese.

I am genuinely curious was i wrong for sitting because i am not showing yet? I didn’t even rush for the seat.

I would definitely give up my seat if i see someone needing it more than me.

Like those really old senior or so.

I just felt rly annoyed by her comments and i want to hear suggestions whether am i wrong for not giving up my seat? Thank you

Here are what netizens think

• It’s ok, close to expiry date don’t waste your time on these
  
• These types would still insist they deserve the seat more even if you were as big as a beach ball. Don’t let them take advantage of you.
  
• Wait just to confirm you didn’t even sit on the reserved seat right? Then it’s totally your right to sit on it, pregnant or not.
  
• I really don’t understand some people. Pregnancy doesn’t mean must have big belly. Did they not learn that babies GROW INSIDE? Btw congrats on your kid!!
  
• Don’t u know? seniors have special privilige and entitlement! They are the kings and queens of this land!!
  they can stand in front and cut queue, they can smoke in no smoking area, they can do anything

My life was going great until last week, when my wife and I had an argument about my elderly mum.

Wife wanted my mum to go out to work part time to contribute to the household expenses

My wife was adamant that my mum should go out and work part-time and she said that our house had no space for freeloaders.

I was enraged by what my wife said because my elderly mum had retired a few years ago, and she had no intention of going back to work. It was time for her to enjoy her lives and let her children be filial to her.

I tried to explain to my wife that my mum was too old to work, but she wouldn’t listen. She kept insisting that we could use the extra money and that my mum should be able to contribute to the household. I was stuck between them and didn’t know what to do.

My wife also told me to relay her message to my mum as soon as possible or it would not be nice if she looked for her and told her about it instead of me.

Finally after some hesitation, I decided to talk to my mum about it. I told her that my wife wanted her to go out and work part-time and that she needed to contribute to the household.

My mum was visibly upset, but she agreed to try and find a job because she did not want to cause my wife and I to quarrel.

My mum eventually found a job but as she was older, she got very exhausted after each shift

The next day, my mum went out looking for a job. But after a few days of searching, she still hadn’t found anything suitable.

Finally, after a few weeks of searching, my mum found a part-time job at a confectionery near our place doing cashiering duties and packing of bread and labelling their prices.

When my mum started her new job, she quickly realized that it was much harder than she had expected. She was exhausted after each shift, and it was getting harder and harder for her to keep up with the pace due to her age.

I could tell that she was very tired and done and I tried to talk to my wife about it but my wife would not budge and even came up with a reason saying that old people should go out to work and exercise to keep themselves active.

My heart breaks seeing my mother suffering like this but I also want to avoid quarrelling with my wife and thus I am really at a loss.

I don’t know what to do.

My boyfriend, who I’d been with for two years, had been acting strangely lately. He had just told me he was going on a weekend trip with his friends to Johor Bahru. He seemed excited, but I couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

He did not have a habit of grooming his ‘down there’.

The tipping point for me was when I noticed he had shaved his ‘kkj’ hair before the trip. This was something he had never done before, and it just seemed so out of character for him because he was pretty lazy with his grooming.

I had to know what was going on.

I confronted him about it and he got angry. He told me I was being ridiculous and that I was reading too much into it. He said I was being paranoid and that I was the one who was going to ruin the weekend for him.

He was so mad that he did not contact me and left for Johor Bahru without telling me that he has already left Singapore.

I let him go, but I was still suspicious. Turns out, my suspicion was right all along.

My boyfriend had not logged out of his Instagram from his computer and I decided to look it up because I was really suspicious.

While looking at the Insta stories on his profile, I saw a girl’s story which showed that my boyfriend and her were clearly having a good time and looked to be very close.

Further stories even showed that she gave him a peck on his cheeks. My heart sank and I couldn’t believe it that he had been cheating on me for I don’t know how long.

It broke my heart and I don’t know how I can trust men ever again.

I’m a 24-year-old woman who has been in a relationship with my boyfriend for the past two years. We started off as friends and things just blossomed from there.

We had a great connection and I thought that I had found my soulmate.

We were lovey then things started to change when my boyfriend stopped giving me the attention I seek

For the first year of our relationship, things were going great. We had a lot of fun together and we were always laughing and joking. We had a great time and I thought that I had finally found the one.

However, over the past year or so, things have changed. My boyfriend has become distant and uninterested in spending time with me. He barely talks to me and it seems like he doesn’t care about me anymore.

He’s always either out with his friends, at work or playing games which leaves me feeling lonely and neglected. I’ve tried talking to him about it, but he just shrugs it off and says he’s busy.

I started to seek attention from my male colleagues and yearned for it because they gave me a lot of attention

I’ve been feeling increasingly lonely and desperate for attention and so I started to turn to my male colleagues at work.

They were all older than me and they treated me like a sugar baby and I contemplated ‘doing it’ with them but I could not bring myself to cheat on my boyfriend.

They would take me out to fancy dinners, buy me expensive gifts and shower me with compliments.

It was like a breath of fresh air for me, and I felt appreciated and wanted for once.

I ended up getting caught up in the attention and I became too dependent on it. I started to focus all my energy on pleasing my male colleagues, and I stopped focusing on my relationship with my boyfriend.

One day, my boyfriend found out about the attention I was getting from my male colleagues and he was furious.

He accused me of cheating and he said that he didn’t want to be with me anymore. We ended up going our separate ways after an hour long talk about all the issues and feelings we faced.

My Job Interview Experience

I recently went for a job interview for a position I had been dreaming about. I was excited and nervous at the same time.

One of the questions the interviewer asked me was about my current drawn salary with my current employer.

Decided to ‘upsell’ my current drawn salary and told them that I was drawing $500 more than what I was actually drawing

I had been earning a low salary at my current job and I felt that if I was honest with them, they will try to lowball me and offer me around the same or just slightly higher than what I was getting.

That was not what I wanted of course, I wanted a raise of at least $500 to $1,000 in this job hop and so I decided to lie and declared that I earn $500 more than what I was actually earning.

I was not sure whether my lie was going to work or not but I had to give it a shot.

It paid off, the company offered me $500 more than the amount which I declared to them and so i got $1,000 more than my previous job

I received a call from the company’s HR a few days later and they said that they were pleased to offer me the job and when it came to the salary part, they offered me a $500 increase of what I told them I was earning.

I was ecstatic and couldn’t believe my luck. I was relieved that I had taken the risk of lying and it had paid off. I was so happy that I had managed to get a raise of $1,000 in one go just by lying about my previous salary.

What is the most polite way to ask a casual friend if he wants to have s- with me?

Context

I broke up with my ex a couple months ago and am not really feeling like chasing new relationships right now. But I still have a healthy libido and want to get laid.

I’ve got a friend whom I consider as an acquaintance who lives very near to me, like opposite block near. I don’t know him super well, but he has always been very sweet and polite to me and we hang out together sometimes.

We have a little bit of an age gap (I am 22 and I believe he is about 30) that I think would prevent us from actually going out together or anything. But I do think he is hot and I’d like to go for a ride if he is down.

But I’ve never really done the friends-with-benefits thing and I’m not sure how you go about asking someone for that. Is it as simple as just asking him “Hey, do you want to come over and f- me?”

What is the most polite way to tell someone that you’re not looking for a relationship, but would like to have s- with them?

Here are what netizens think

• Probably the most turned on I’ve ever been (me, 32M) is when I went out with a girl and afterwards she pretty much said, “I know this is forward but how do you feel about hooking up?”
  
  It was direct and it was so complimentary that it turned me on. We men don’t get that direct communication very often. Just text him that or ask him in person.
  
• When I was in my early 20s, a 30-something work friend asked me back to her place after we hung out at a bar.
  
  I was turned on by how direct she was. As you said, it’s not often that most of us guys have a woman flat out say “so you want to go back to my/your place and f- right now?”.
  
• Be straightforward and honest. Say something like “hey I split up with my ex a while back and have always found you attractive. If you’re interested in hooking up sometime we should”.

I Flipped Watches to My Friends to make a huge profit from them, Only for Them to Find Out the Truth.

Today has been an absolute roller coaster for me. I totally messed up by flipping watches I bought from a website to my friends for serious profit.

I never thought they would find out, but oh boy, did they ever. I guess it was an uncool move though so that’s on me.

Context

So, here’s the background: I follow alot of budget watch forums and one newer watch website got these watches that looked so pretty fricking legit for cheap.

So, like any other budding entrepreneur, I came up with a genius plan to make some serious cash.

I started buying these watches and flipping them to my friends, family, and colleagues, claiming that I had connections with luxury watch suppliers and could get them at a discount.

I’d buy the watches from the website for a fraction of their perceived value and sell them for a huge markup. It felt like I was running a successful little side hustle.

Everything was going smoothly until one of my friends, who had bought a watch from me exposed me.

His brother apparently pointed out that the watch brand is budget. He found the exact model he had purchased from me was listed for way less than what I had charged him. As you can imagine, he was not happy at all.

Things escalated quickly, and he shared this with our mutual friends, who also had bought watches. They all felt betrayed prob for good reason. Blew up in my face and they got pretty mad. I mean its not like it wasnt a consensual deal though.

The fallout has been rather brutal. My friends are mega pissed have even started distancing themselves from me.

Hopefully they mellow out in a week.
