COUPLE MOVING IN TOGETHER, MAN TELLS WIFE “HER” MONEY IS NOW “OUR” MONEY

0

my wife and I are finally moving in together (long story, don’t ask) and today we were discussing finances.

Now between the two of us, I have more bills and all that and have a pretty good grasp of all my bills.

My wife on the other hand doesn’t have any bills presently but saves her money like crazy. She’s also not the type of person to make random purchases or anything major for herself.

We were discussing the process for moving in, discussing a rental property Ive been working towards and so forth when she asked about getting a gaming console that costs about $800. She had stated she will use her own money

Now we will already have one that, though not brand new, can do the job well enough.

I told her that I’m not on board with that idea because once she and I are together I’ll need her help to manage the bills. And since she will not work for a bit it’s important to conserve as much as possible. Since the whole movie alone will cost us quite a lot. Which I will need her help on.

She immediately became distant and upset even after I explained once she works full time and we are financially secure then put money aside for yourself or we can joint the savings and pay together but it’s too risky to try and do this until such a time.

WOMAN TELLS SUPERVISOR TO ONLY TALK TO HER USING EMAIL AS HE IS RUDE AS F

0
Is It wrong I asked my supervisor to communicate to me strictly through email?

I (20f) work for a company with all male employees. Recently we hired my supervisor, he gets along well with the other guys there, but avoids me at all cost and I avoid him.

From the get though, he would always make these jabs at me. I have been clear from the moment my original supervisor was fired that I had ZERO idea what I was doing and she brought me on to train me into it. Well, she can’t train me if she’s not there.

So I’ve been doing my best to learn and while I knew the basics, it’s a lot to learn seeing as I am literally doing two jobs. I’ve begged on multiple occasions for some kind of help and am just now getting an accountant after 3 months.

One of my tasks is payroll. I recently started doing payroll every Tuesday, sending out the paystubs that night, leaving room on Wednesday for any corrections before officially submitting it. The guys know as I’ve emphasized it multiple times.

Today I made a mistake on my supervisor’s payroll, thinking since he hadn’t worked there for over 90 days, he wouldn’t get bonus paid. I had never been told otherwise. When I sent out paystubs he can down to my office and said with an attitude like he was talking to a kid, “I worked 40 hours last week, not 32, 40.” I was caught off guard and just kinda sat there and said ok. Then he said rudely, “Ok so you need to change that.”

I tried to explain to him what I thought the policy was but he wouldn’t let me finish and said he would talk to the owner. Aside from that, I only accept requests like paid holidays prior to 90 days from the owner in writing.

There are more instances of him being just unprofessional like him telling me I need to be a team player when I was trying to tell him I was overwhelmed and didn’t know what I was doing, him gossiping about employees behind their backs (ie him telling me he feels like he’s babysitting my coworker), him saying he could use his BOOT allowance on tennis shoes when last week he was all pissy because someone wanted to use theirs on snow pants and that he could do it because “he’s the boss.” He only seems to act this way towards me. He’s really buddy-buddy with all the office guys, but goes out of his way to ignore me it feels.

I will be discussing this with the owner tomorrow and was going to inform him of these instances, how I’ve been advised to email and further instances to my personal email to document it, but due to the way he’s talked to me and to avoid further miscommunication, I think it may be better we just strictly communicate through email.

I feel like his attitude and general demeanour towards me, it may just poke the bear and make things worse, but I refuse to be talked to like that for a genuine, fixable mistake.

GUY’S SIAM BU FIGHT WITH VIET BU WHO TRIED TO APPROACH HIM @ GOLDEN MILE

0

I have a friend who shared an incident that happened to him while he was ‘chiong-ing’ at his own personal ‘land of smiles’, Golden Mile.

He was ‘addicted’ to a Siam Bu at one of the Thai Discos located inside Golden Mile.

His level of ‘addiction’ to that particular Siam Bu was like Mythic level in Mobile Legends, he would hang flowers freely for her and even for her ‘sisters’ working in the same Thai Disco and would always wait for them to end work to have Mookata for supper.

Every visit, he would spend up to $1,000 minimum.

One day, he accompanied his Siam Bu who was drunk to the toilet and waited outside for her and was randomly approached by a Viet Bu working at one of the pubs just round the corner near the toilet

The Viet Bu had wanted to approach him to come in for a drink and so was trying to communicate with him.

Due to his limited knowledge of Vietnamese and the Viet Bu’s limited knowledge of English/Chinese, they took out their phones to Google Translate to try to figure out what the other party was trying to say.

At that moment, his Siam Bu came out of the toilet and this was when everything broke loose.

Jealous that my friend was talking to a girl and without finding out what happened, his Siam Bu went over to slap the Viet Bu and started cursing at her in Thai.

The Viet Bu was shocked by the Siam Bu’s actions but was also a little ‘chilli padi’ who won’t take it lying down and started to pull the Siam Bu’s hair and started to hit her.

In the process of the fight, the Viet Bu pulled down the Siam Bu’s top revealing her big but fake bosoms and bite it.

This caused the Viet Bu’s teeth to bleed because the Siam Bu’s bosoms were as hard as a rock.

Bouncers from both separate discos saw that my friend could not deal with it and came out to break up the fight.

I do not know what happened after that as this all my friend said but he said that he finally got the chance to see her full bosoms because his Siam Bu asked him to helped her check if there were any wounds or bleeding on her fake bosoms after everything ended.

NEIGHBOUR HAMMERING & DRILLING FROM MORNING TO EVENING, MAN CAN’T WFH IN PEACE

How to deal with neighbours construction

I work from home, and for the past two months there has been constant drilling and reno works around the neighbourhood.

Recently it has turned into very intense jackhammering that vibrates the walls and the chair if im sitting on one.

This noise and pressure permeates noise cancelling headphones and starts from 11am all the way to the evening.

I only sleep at 3am because I cant even concentrate on my work in the day. Anyone been through this, how did you cope? After so many days of this my ears are tired and strained

Netizens’ comments

  1. nothing if within their permit hours
  2. Check their demolition permit applied and approved from HDB/BCA.
    Date duration
    Time duration
    Make sure they don’t exceed.
    Once they exceed, just lodge your complaint.
    They are also supposed to notify the whole block by pasting the permit copy on the lift lobby.
  3. One of those situation in life that honestly u can’t do much about and just got to be tolerant. As much as it’s your inconvenience, your neighbour (assuming they are moving in as new owners) also have the right to do what they need to do with their new homes, assuming it’s within permitted hours. Just hope that they are nice people who are easy going after they move in.
    For now, you just have to work outside or something

COLLEAGUE GOT HIMSELF FIRED AFTER MAKING HOMOPHOBIC SLURS

0

I’m not very sure how to shorten it down, because there are a lot of details.

However, as the title says I reported my colleague and he was terminated.

My report was in relation to him calling me homophobic slurs and also making inappropriate xx comments towards me. When I would tell him not to make said comments, he would laugh it off and say “I grew up with gay friends so I can say fg”.

He would also make comments about another gay colleague and me basically insinuating that we would end up sleeping with each other.

I’m a 23 yr old gay man and my colleague was a 19 yr old gay man. The colleague in question is in his early 40’s and is a straight male. These comments would make me so grossed out and uncomfortable. Another colleague witnessed him saying “It’ll be no time until you’re both shng out each others d*ks” in regards to me and the other gay colleague.

She was very shocked and even told him that he was being hostile and inappropriate. He had also made comments towards me in settings outside of the workplace, and when I requested he stop speaking to me and keep the relationship professional he threatened me physically at a Halloween event.

After that specific incident, I reported everything to our manager and they fired him immediately. This has continued to cause me issues at work because some workers have taken his side and are now going around basically saying I overreacted and was wrong to report him.

What do you guys think?

MAN’S WIFE CHEATED, SO HE ALSO CHEATS AS REVENGE – EVERYDAY PIAK PIAK INSIDE CAR

0

Found out she screwed an old coworker 3 1/2 months ago (she doesn’t know I know). I found out by snooping on her phone one night, when she fell asleep before me, and the messages were all there. From what I could tell, it looks like they only slept together (maybe a few times but idk). Last week I snooped again and found out they have plans to do it again this Friday.

Originally I was completely disgusted and absolutely heartbroken. I couldn’t sleep because of the images in my head. I started drinking more and smoking a lot to take my mind off of it which has kinda helped but not enough. Life was hard initially but things have been better since Hannah and I hit it off.

Who’s Hannah? Well she’s my new girlfriend. After I found out I started working more. I wanted to build up a mountain of OT money so I could plan my next move, whatever it was.

Anyway, she recently started working in the same area as me about ~8 months ago. With me working more I was able to spend more time around her. She’s gorgeous to say the least. Objectively better looking than my wife. We started talking daily and I told her about the situation with my wife. She was really supportive and caring for me.

One night after our shift I asked her to grab a drink with me, which she said yes. After a few hours, we ended up at her place and we banged all night long. The next morning I held her in bed and talked for a few hours. I really started to like this girl and wondered where this could go. That day I ended up going home and picked up my wife at the airport. She didn’t expect a thing and carried on like usual.

Hannah and I talked the next day about what happened. I told her I really enjoyed our time which she excitedly responded that she felt the same. We agreed to keep it under the radar and also only talk when we are at work to avoid my wife finding out. So far it’s worked and she hasn’t suspected a thing.

It’s been 3 weeks since that talk and everyday after work we get naughty in my car in a parking lot.

I want to keep this going as long as I can. I hate my wife for what she did and I just want to inflict as much pain as possible. It should be easy to, as my wife is too infatuated with her new boy toy to take notice of anything. I know eventually however, I need to come clean and divorce my wife. I’m just hurt.

BF SAID AFTER MARRIAGE MUST TAKE HIS SURNAME OR BREAKUP NOW

My boyfriend wants me to change my name when we get married. I don’t want to. He says it’s a dealbreaker. Help?

We had another conversation about this tonight, and I feel defeated and upset.

I don’t want to change my surname. I like it and it’s a part of my identity.

My boyfriend is upset at me for not wanting to change it. He says it’s a possible dealbreaker for him, and “what’s the point of getting married if you won’t take my last name?”

He says he really wants to be the “Tan family” His parents divorced when he was young and this is definitely a driving factor behind his thinking.

He also thinks that me not taking his name means I’m not entirely committed to him.

Part of me says just do it to make him happy, even though it will make me upset (something he doesn’t seem to get). I just feel like this is such a stupid thing to break up over if he is really that adamant on me taking his name.

Thoughts?

Here are what netizens think:

  • My now husband struggled with this a little bit when we first got engaged. He was mostly hung up on tradition. I asked him to take my name and he responded “Well I have had my name for 24 years.” I looked at him and said “Yeah and I am 2 years older.” He was then able to talk it through about why he wanted that and why it was important to both of us to have our names. We discussed possibly creating our own last name, but at the end of the day for us, it didn’t matter that much. The key thing here is we were able to talk about it like adults. We made the choice individually as to how we wanted to move through the world. There were no threats of not being together. It might seem like a dumb thing to break up over but is an indication of a larger problem.
  • Very similar situation here — my husband struggled with it (though nowhere near the level of OP’s bf) and we had a similar sort of conversation as you that helped open his eyes to the double standard of it all and realize why keeping my own last name mattered to me. Society has shoved it down everyone’s throats that a woman is “supposed” to change her last name and I think it can be difficult to undo that line of thinking.
  • The irony is that while he says it shows a lack of commitment from you, the fact that a naming scheme is more important to him than having you in his life shows a lack of commitment on his part.

SPOILED CHILD GETS EXPENSIVE B’DAY PRESENT, THROWS TANTRUM BECAUSE HE DIDN’T LIKE IT

giving my nephew cash bc of previous bad behavior when opening gifts?

My nephew (11) went through a phase where he wrote his own songs and put them on TikTok. His bday was coming up and he asked for a keyboard from his mom and dad so he could play music to go with his lyrics.

I knew they were getting it for him so I bought him a mic and stand that hooked up to the key board, it had an amplifier and Bluetooth. It was not cheap.

When he opened it he threw a fit! Yelling and screaming. He even kicked the box.

Now, as a mom, I know kids will be kids but no one stepped in to correct his behavior. After about two mins of being berated by a child I walked away, telling my SIL it could be returned to Amazon.

He actually asked why I didn’t just buy him an Xbox! Since then my nephew and my SIL will send me lists of the things he wants and I just shove a hundred in a card and give it to him.

My husband, who doesn’t shop for the gifts, says I’m being petty and he’s just a kid. He is, at the very least, half right.

My whole thing though is no one stopped the behavior and I had to sit and listen to his complaining. I have a daughter his same age and she would Never behave like that if she did I would end it immediately and make her apologize.

WOMAN FEELS THAT SHE IS A FAILURE AS SHE CAN’T COOK OR SEW, SCARE HER KIDS HAVE A “FAIL MOM”

0

I’ve been struggling a lot recently with feeling like I’m bad at typical feminine hobbies. I’m not good at cooking, sewing, baking, or organizational stuff.

My family and my in laws family are all amazing at this stuff. My mom is a great baker and had sewn clothes for my kids. My MIL is a good cook and makes quilts. My grandmother cooks and makes quilts. My grandmother-in-law cooks, bakes, and alters clothes.

I suck at all of this.

I can follow a basic recipe, but I always mess up something small. I try to make cake from a box mix and somehow fuck something up.

My mom tried to teach me how to sew but I struggled and she got frustrated. I have to try really hard to keep things organized.

I just want to have a useful hobby. When my kids grow up I want them to be able ask me “Hey can you fix this tear or fit of my kids outfit?” But I can’t. I can’t do anything helpful that I can teach my kids. I can’t create anything that could be passed from generation to generation. I feel like it may be some internalized misogyny, but I just feel like a failure as a woman and a stay at home mom.

WOMAN’S BF OF 5 YEARS REFUSES TO MOVE IN TOGETHER, SCARED NO MORE PRIVACY

0

My (30f) boyfriend (27m) and I have been together for almost 5 years. We’re very happy, get along amazingly and we’re very much in love.

But he still doesn’t want to move in together and when I ask him when he’ll be ready, he just says he doesn’t know.

He’s got a completely packed schedule during the week. There’s barely 1 minute each day where he’s free. He says he gets pissed about how limited his time is and fears he’ll get annoyed sharing a space which may limit his time more (we might often get caught up talking/hanging out if we’re living together).

He says he wants to move in together someday. He’s assured me he also wants to get married and have kids — we’ve even talked about what we want to name our kids.

Being an almost 31 year old woman, I’m worried about the future. I worry he might be one of those people who never fully commits to big things like this and if I keep waiting for him to get ready to take this next step, it might be too late and the egg shop will have closed its doors for good.

Has anyone experienced something similar and have advice like “if he’s still not ready after all this time, he’ll never be” or “his excuse is valid, just give him time to feel ready?”

This guy is my best friend and the thought of leaving him makes me sick to my stomach especially when everything is otherwise perfect but if this is going to have a negative long term impact on my life, I probably should leave. Just need and outsiders perspective.
