My heart sinks as I think about the past few months. I can’t help but feel scared that my boyfriend might cheat on me, just like he did to his ex before me to be together with me.
I have been with him for almost a year now, and it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions. We have our good times and our bad, but I’m always worried that he might cheat.
I know that he cheated on his ex with me and I’m afraid that he would cheat on me to be together with someone else.
I’ve put a lot of effort into our relationship, and I feel like I deserve to keep him with me by my side.
I often find myself questioning our relationship and if it’s really worth it. I want to be able to trust him and know that he’s being faithful, but my fear of being cheated on always creeps up in the back of my mind.
I’m always scared that he’s going to do it again and that I’ll end up being the one who gets hurt.
I’ve tried to talk to him about my fears, but it always ends in a fight. He tells me that I’m being too paranoid and that I should trust him.
But I can’t help but feel like I’m not enough for him and that he’ll eventually find someone else who he deems better or more important.
I don’t want to keep living in fear, but it’s hard to shake off the thought that he might cheat on me. I’ve tried to focus on the good things about our relationship, but it’s hard to push away the negative feelings.
I wish there was a way to make sure he won’t cheat on me, but I know that’s not possible.
All I can do is hope and pray that he will stay faithful and that my fears are unfounded. I want to be able to trust him and to have a healthy, happy relationship.
But it’s hard when I’m constantly worrying about him cheating on me, just like he did to his ex to get together with me.
A Tiktok user, @johnsonooi, recently uploaded a Tiktok video on his account.
In his video, a Monitor lizard was seen moving around in an unknown coffeeshop in Singapore.
According to the caption of the video, the coffeeshop is located beside a water way and it was raining at the time where the Monitor Lizard was spotted.
People in the video were seen trying to move away from the Monitor lizard as it loitered around the coffeeshop.
Some of them were screaming and panicking like ‘little girls’, while one of them climbed on top of the coffeeshop table.
Someone was also spotted throwing an object at the poor Monitor Lizard while another person tried to use a broom to chase the Monitor lizard away.
It was as if they saw a dangerous crocodile instead of a harmless monitor lizard.
A woman was caught on CCTV abandoning her pet cat outside SPCA’s front gate.
The woman seem to have unloaded the caged animal and pushed it towards SPCA’s gate.
Here is what SPCA said:
PLEASE DON’T SPRING-CLEAN ME AWAY
Cat abandoned at SPCA’s front gate
Returning from their routine night trapping on a Thursday morning at 3am, our SPCA staff found an abandoned cat outside our main gate. The cat was shaking in fear.
We are perturbed. Abandonment cases increase during spring cleaning periods when animals are discarded like unwanted furniture. At the SPCA, we received at least a ~20% increase in requests by the public to surrender their animals during the same period. A pet is for life and if you are unable to care for them for personal reasons, it is your responsibility to rehome them into a good next home. If you require help, please visit our rehoming page: spca.org.sg/services/rehoming
We encourage the adoption of animals, but we also need to emphasise that bringing an animal home is a huge commitment that should not be taken lightly. Owning a pet will require a lot of time, money, and patience. We urge all potential pet guardians to do their research before bringing an animal home.
We are fortunate to have been able to capture the offender’s carplate number through our CCTVs and will be taking the necessary enforcement actions with the support of the authorities.
Here are what netizens think:
I wished people like this would be heavily fined and prosecuted. Pets are for life!Our Peanut who we adopted from you in 2011 has traveled half the globe with us. As challenging as it was at times, he is family!
When I hear about such cases I’m really very heart-broken, another animal being abandon! Please, he/she is one of your family members! The pet is your family member, cannot understand how can these people hardened their heart! Owning a pet is a life-long commitment despite + inspite, cannot commit then forget it don’t own any pet.
The problem here is.. next time people will still do it but they will rid of pets in a more dangerous unknown places. ( the biggest loser/sufferer is still the pet) Some shelters on FB posts – they know this consequence and that why they tell ppl not to comment nor they go out and punished…. help & educate instead, else who dare to approach for help when they have so many valid or not valid reasons to rid their pets…I suggest SPCA educate the person that abandon pet and quickly do rehome & education more. ( adoption in SPCA has been slow & uninterested based on my experience with them) I have checked ur animals pages since covid period till now too. Hardly update pages suggesting to me there no new animals rescue? I m really unimpressed.
It happened this morning. I had to come to terms with the fact that I had spilled water on purpose on my company laptop.
I am a work from home employee.
It was something I did consciously or willingly and most importantly, it was done on purpose. I had been feeling so stressed and overwhelmed with work, that I felt like I had to do something to get out of it.
It had been a stressful few weeks at work, with long hours and a lot of pressure. I had been juggling multiple tasks and deadlines and it was taking a toll on my energy levels.
I was feeling really overwhelmed and exhausted and I just wanted a break.
I had been trying to make it work, but I just couldn’t take it anymore. I felt like I had no other choice but to do something drastic.
So, I spilled water on my laptop.
I knew that it would mean that I wouldn’t be able to work anymore and that I would be able to take a break. I knew that it wasn’t the right thing to do, but I felt like I had no other choice.
And so, I told my boss that I had ‘accidentally’ spilled water on my laptop and it was unable to operate any more.
I thought I could escape work for a while but instead, after chiding me for being careless, my boss arranged for a replacement laptop to be sent to me almost immediately.
