EX-BF DEMANDS FOR PAYOUT OF HOME CAUSE HE CONTRIBUTED $500

0

My boyfriend and I have been having a rocky patch. The underlying issue is that there is a power dynamic that is weighted in my favor, specifically because I make significantly more money than my boyfriend, and I own the house we live in.

I bought the house 6 months before I met him. It’s only my name on the deed and mortgage. I also was a high earner when I met him.

I work a job that requires a professional license and makes over 6 figures. My boyfriend is a delivery driver (think Grab Food) and makes probably what the median income for the area.

When it comes to the house, I pay roughly 73% of all household expenses. My boyfriend pays me a flat fee of $500 per month as his contribution to household/mortgage expenses. This amount has not changed in 5 years. I have paid for all repairs on the home (probably around 15k at this point) and furniture etc myself.

When we go on trips, I pay for them. We usually take 2 to 3 vacations a year. Sometimes he will cover the cost of the rental car but otherwise, it’s me paying for airfare and Airbnb costs, entertainment, etc. I do this because I’m well aware of the income disparity between us and I don’t want to add financial strain to him for things that aren’t ‘necessities’.

We’ve been arguing lately, and I think he’s bugged because he says when we are not getting along he doesn’t feel like the house is “his”. I know this must suck to feel like he would have to move, pay WAY more for living expenses, and change his whole lifestyle should we break up, so I can sympathize with that. Rents in this area are over $1,000/month in most cases.

But now, he’s saying to make him feel more secure, he would like a formula to determine how much of his $500/month went toward the mortgage, and then use that figure as his “minority stake/equity” in the home. Therefore, if we break up, I would owe him this amount as a payout. Currently the figure he’s come up with is $11,400 based on his math (at the end of this year he will have paid me a cumulative $30,000 in rent payments over the 5 years we’ve been together).

So in essence, he wants $11,400 should we break up and he has to vacate the home.

I wanted to get some other people’s reactions to this since I’m in total shock.

MAN’S SIBLINGS JEALOUS THAT HIS WIFE GAVE BIRTH TO A SON & GOT A LUMP SUM FROM FAMILY

0

My husband is the favored child. Not because he’s the youngest. He’s the most filial child among his siblings. I didn’t know his family makes a big deal in regards to rank at home until I’ve married him and had children.

For 2 decades, no males in his family had a son. They didn’t count the sons who were born by the women as the boys carried another surname. I’m going to keep my opinion to myself and continue….

When I had a son, some of the relatives made such a huge deal about it. My in laws were extremely ecstatic and gifted me many tonic and secretly gave us a lump sum. They would prep a table of feast when we visit and there was so much food we had to bring some back home each time. I feel loved by my fil and mil.

The issue is my husband’s siblings were jealous and won’t hesitate to be nasty or sarcastic when they have a chance, my mil would whine or act unwilling or say harsh things to them when they are too noisy but my mil always say my children are very obedient. Tbh, I also feel they are a zoo of animals wherever they go but it’s not my children, I dont care how they teach theirs. Overall, there’s been bad blood brewing for some time. My husband’s siblings are not filial or good people. My mil said they will not stop giving birth until they have a son as they didn’t want to ‘lose’ to my husband. Alas in their 40s, they finally had a son.

Not long I found out my husband’s sibling voiced out that as he is the older sibling, naturally his baby son should inherit more from my in laws compared to my son. This xxx runs an illegal business, have multiple homes, obviously earns more. Not like we are talking about millions? Their behavior is atrocious and are bullies all along and my in laws are always kinder. I am disgusted but I couldn’t care to say anything as my husband and I feel the same way. They want? Just take it.

I learnt they had been pushing my in laws to draw up their wills but my in laws wanted to do it on their own instead. They want to make my husband in charge on top of giving him assets that will not be included in the will.

Makes me understand why every family can be so different. When a child says the parents are not being fair. Define fair from the perspective of the child or parent would be different.

5 PEOPLE DEAD AFTER BOAT COLLIDED WITH A WHALE AND CAPSIZED, 6 OTHERS RESCUED

0

5 people died and 6 others were rescued on Saturday, after a boat that they were in capsized following a collision with a whale, in the waters off of New Zealand’s South Island.

The boat which had 11 people on board mostly from a bird-watching group, had overturned in the waters at about 10am local time, at Goose Bay, 15km south of Kaikoura.

A police dive squad recovered 5 bodies in a search and rescue operation that lasted for nearly seven hours, and 6 others were rescued with minor injuries.

The survivors were seen waving for help in images that emerged on social media, and the police confirmed that the boat belonged to a local charter business.

Craig Mackle, the mayor of Kaikoura, said that there were “indications” that the boat had collided with a whale, but couldn’t comment further as investigations were ongoing.

Mackle described the water conditions as being “flat” and “perfect” and was puzzled as to how it could have capsized, and it then added that it was the time of the year when whales were commonly sighted off the coast.

Minister of Education Chan Chun Sing, shared how a Singaporean student from Hwa Chong Institution, placed second in the world during the recent 18th International Geography Olympiad.

Chan Chun Sing’s statement on Facebook

Meet Kang Zheng, a 17 year-old student who is fascinated with drawing maps and transport routes.

In fact, his love for maps is so great that he has even drawn up the complex Tokyo subway and suburban rail systems! Kang Zheng’s interest and hard work in Geography paid off as he placed second in the world in the recently concluded 18th International Geography Olympiad. With his hard work and that of his teammates, Brian Lee, Marcus Lee, and Anders Hong, the Singapore Team emerged champions among 54 countries/territories.

Kang Zheng and his teammates were not the only ones who did Singapore proud. Our students brought home a total of 9 Gold medals, 14 Silver medals, 3 Bronze medals and 1 Honourable Mention from the various International Olympiads, and they also came in second in both the International and Online Young Physicists’ Tournaments.

Heartiest congratulations to all our students who have flown the Singapore flag high in the international arena this year, and I encourage everyone to continue to pursue your interests and passion.

I would also like to extend my appreciation to all the teachers and instructors who have worked hard in helping our students achieve their dreams and fulfil their potential!

Well done everyone! 

WOMAN IN LINGERIE PERFORMS @ OLD FOLKS HOME, PUTS AH PEK’S HAND ON HER CHEST

0

A video emerged online showing a steamy performance by a scantily clad woman in lingerie, dancing for a group of elderly people at an old folks home in Taiwan.

The incident happened at the Taoyuan Veterans Home in Taiwan on 7 September.

The woman was hired by the management of the old folks home to perform for the elderly as part of their mid autumn festival celebrations.

The management has since issued a statement apologising for the incident, after a video clip of the performance went viral and netizens criticised the home for being inappropriate.

The woman was seen dancing around while being surrounded by the elderly men in wheelchairs, before lying down on the ground and spreading her legs while pointing at one of the men.

She then got up and put her chest near an elderly man’s face and she shook her behind, and was later seen grabbing the elderly man’s hands and placing it on her chest.

WOMAN FALLS IN LOVE WITH MARRIED MAN WITH KIDS, SAYS SHE CAN’T CONTROL

0

Why no one loves me…

I’m friends with this guy for years. I’ve watched him start dating, get married, and become a father.

I’ve watched his babies grow up to become little toddlers and preschoolers. I didn’t consider him to be anything as I have already given up on settling down. I’m too messed up and I didn’t want to commit to anyone because I’ve had my heart broken all too many times.

I don’t believe in love and promises anymore.

Then I became attracted to him when he started to spend more time with me at work. I think I’m in love. He’s so caring and thoughtful even when he doesn’t expect anything from me. I’m surprised he can remember little details about me, what I like, and what’s my preference. He knows how I like my coffee done but I guess he remembers others’ preferences, not just mine. I feel so special whenever we connect. I can’t help what I feel. Is there something?

I try so hard to fight this feeling but I find myself drawn to him. I seek his presence. I find myself dreaming of what it’s like being with him. A part of me started to try and dig out info about his wife. She’s an acquaintance so I barely know her. I confided in a friend who knows her and instantly regretted it.

My friend shut me down, said I don’t even know if he likes me, I should just forget it.

Why do people like to straight away shut down my feelings? I’m not saying I want or that I can have him. Wouldn’t that be up to him? I know there’s nothing. Can’t I have these feelings without being judged? I didn’t do anything wrong and yet I’m already the bad guy.

Love is blind or not blind after all? Now I worry my friend will ruin my friendship with him. I don’t think I can bear it if I lose him.

WOMAN UNHAPPY TO SEE CHEATING EX HAVING A GOOD LIFE, EVEN AFTER 15 YEARS

0

Unable to let go of my ex

I’m married with two beautiful children but before my marriage, I had a relationship with this guy whom I thought will be the one. The relationship ended almost 15 years ago when we were in JC.

He cheated on me 3 times and finally, he decided to leave me, even when I was all ready to forgive him. After 15 years, I thought I have already gotten over him, but I got to know that he is married to a beautiful lady, and recently his wife gave birth to a baby girl.

He has been posting pictures of his cute little one, and I had this mixed feeling. Why are guys like him able to get a beautiful wife and have such a nice family? He has hurt me deeply and I find it so difficult to forgive him. And now with social media, he kept appearing and even when I have a great family now, I can’t help but ask why he is still leading a good life after hurting so many girls?

I know definitely I mean nothing to him, I just can’t stop comparing and asking why is he doing better than me?

Here are what netizens think:

  • Maybe you are entertaining a dangerous idea of what’s possible should both of you had remained together. The past is the past, count your blessings there’s where your focus should be
  • Social media is deceiving, we only get to see the good. U have 2 beautiful kids, start create beautiful memories with them on social media too.
  • Don’t believe what you see in social media. People are not as happy as they seem to be. 
  • It’s time to move on. Marriage and other life events that he had do change people, for better or for worse. Karma will takes its course – for both good and bad deeds. We all will reap what we sow.

MAN WORKING IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY SEES OLD CEO CARESSING YOUNG COLLEAGUES

0

I’m reaching 2 years in the construction industry.

Being an engineer is not exactly easy but I’m actually more disturbed by the drinking culture. It is nothing like the drinking sessions and clubbing during uni days.

I have witnessed my CEO (who is married and in his 60s) touching inappropriately and cuddling with my senior (who’s about 30) at almost every party. I’m trying to be neutral but my senior is also not very good at her job and I silently question her credentials every time she attempts to get things done.

Is this behaviour between colleagues common in your workplace?

Here are what netizens think:

  • That’s her unique value proposition that you don’t have. Making your boss feels good and happy is equally as important as getting the job done.
  • Not uncommon. It’s just that some people manage to hide workplace affairs well. If it doesn’t affect your work and opportunities directly, just close one eye and learn to look away.
  • Construction industry…. Aburden
  • That’s your CEO’s mistress and your future CEO you are trying to insult. You need to know who’s boss
  • U wish u would be cuddled right
