GF INSIST BF TO GO OUT WITH HER FRIENDS, BF UNWILLING

0

My partner and I moved to a pretty remote area in the west side about a year ago and we have been struggling to make friends.

I am pretty extroverted but I work from home so I don’t really have work friends I can go out with and with COVID going out to make friends has been near impossible. She is pretty introverted but still likes to have quality time with good friends.

The school she goes to is tiny btw so her friend options are very limited. I used to love when she took me to the parties her friends invited her to but when we are together we tend to just talk to each other and have fun together instead of hanging out with the group.

I know her friends like me but I cant help but feel that they would feel awkward coming and interrupting us. On the other hand it can be daunting for my partner to leave my side when she is so comfortable around me in a relatively uncomfortable environment for an introvert.

She has been getting invited to hang outs less and less and gets upset that she doesn’t feel she has a good group of friends at school. I suggested that maybe I was the issue and that perhaps if I stopped going with her she would be forced to hang out with her friends.

She dismissed the idea and insisted that she prefers when I go with her but I still felt that I was preventing her from making friends. The last time she told me she was invited to a party she asked me to go but I told her I would not be going. I was happy to DD for them but I didnt want to keep holding her back from branching out. She was upset and kept asking me to go but I stood firm.

She didn’t get upset but did tell me she preferred when I came with her. I told her that, being an extrovert, there is nothing I would have liked to do more than go to a party after being cooped up for so long but I still didn’t want to go. She went and had a great time, said she hung out with her friends all night and even made new ones but still wishes I respected her request to go along with her. I do feel bad for thinking that I knew what was best for her more than she did but seeing as I may have been right I am not sure I should.

What should I do?

WOMAN CAME BACK FROM MATERNITY LEAVE, JOB SCOPE CHANGED WITHOUT INFORMING HER

0

I’ve been in Company A for 6.5yrs. I was first hired as an accounts assistant. But subsequently the boss promoted me to do Sales and Marketing along with HR and Accounting work.

Along the way, I realised I don’t like the Sales and Marketing job scope. I no longer do accounts despite me approaching my boss numerous times that I prefer accounting job.

I have 2 young kids and my boss has been very kind and understanding towards me taking urgent leaves etc. My salary started off with $1.8k to now at $3.5k which I’m truly grateful. (I only have an A Level and Private Diploma in Accounting & Finance)

The first time I resigned was when I was 2years into the job. But he retained me and i stayed on on the condition that i will no longer handle sales and marketing.

Fast forward to last year, after coming back from maternity leave, I realised he changed my job scope without discussing with me first. He has yet again thrown sales and marketing to me again. I’ve tried dealing with it for a year but because I do not enjoy what I was doing, I didn’t do a great job in following up. Hence this sometimes led to him scolding me. Which I feel that it is unfair as I’ve told him many times I don’t like this job and he kinda ask me just to help him as he needs someone trustworthy.

I started sending resume last month. Out of the 30 resumes I’ve sent out, only 2 called back and 1 wanted to hire me. I understand that my currently salary is inflated than compared to what experience I have. Of course I’m looking at the direction of getting more experience in accounting and finance rather than just like being a PA to him.

Prospective Company B initially offered me 3.2k and I wanted to accept it. But after tendering, my boss talked to me and finally agreed to take away the sales and marketing portion. After much consideration, I turned down Company B as it was a huge paycut of 3.6k/annual and also because Company A promised to take away the part that I did not enjoy. 2 days later Company B called me to offer again. They are willing to match my current salary and I am given a chance to learn financial reporting which I didn’t have a chance in Company A.

I’m truly at a loss. Should I stay on at Company A or move on to Company B? The thing is, I’m very comfortable at where I am at now. But if I decided to stay on, then I will need to stay and work there till I die kind cos another 5yrs i will be 40yo. 3.5k for an accounts staff without full set of exposure is very hard to get a job paying 3.5k. Most jobs that were offering 3.5k needs to have exposure of full set accounts. In a way I’m worried for my future. I’m good for Company A but it isn’t good for my experience. Hopefully this post gets approved as I need to give Company B an answer by Friday.

MAN DISTURBS ORANGUTAN AT ZOO, THEN KENA ATTACK BY THE APE

A video emerged online showing a man in Indonesia being grabbed and manhandled by an orangutan inside a zoo enclosure.

He had trespassed into the enclosure to film a video for TikTok, before being attacked by the resident ape.

The video was recorded on 6 June 3 days ago, at the Kasang Kulim Zoo in Pekanbaru, Indonesia.

The 19-year-old man, Hasan Arifin, claimed over a barrier and trespassed into the enclosure to film the 15-year-old orangutan inside the cage.

He was seen in the video with his arms stretched out, appearing to ask the ape for a hug, as he approached the cage.

The orangutan appeared to be relaxed at first and didn’t react, but suddenly grabbed his shirt as the man started panicking.

He tried to retreat but the orangutan was too strong and refused to let go of his shirt.

Another man then came from behind to help him by trying to pull him away from the orangutan, and it then grabbed his leg as the man ended up being held sideways against the cage by the animal.

At one point the orangutan was seen trying to bite his foot before letting the TikToker go.

COUPLE LOST $400K TO SCAM & BAD INVESTMENTS, NOW HAVE NOTHING

0

I have made many bad financial decisions since i started working in 2011. Recently i fall into a job scam and lost about $45000, and that is the last straw. Since then, i haven’t been myself.

I decided to do a tabulation, and all in all, for the past 11 years or so, i have lost at least $200 000 (bad investment, stocks, forex, scam etc). My husband also lost quite a bit of money in the stock market (about $150 000). All these are very painful experience as i do not earn much (Started with 2k+ per month, and now hitting 5k+ per month). My husband left his job previously and is not working for the past few years as he is pursuing further studies. We have no children and we stay in a HDB.

Based on my single income, we can still manage a decent living. However, every time i think about the financial loss we had, it will bring chills. We could have paid off our housing loan or have enjoyed more with our earnings rather than saving them away and “investing” it, with now ended with nothing. It is years of hard work and very thrifty lifestyle. Although i have some emergency, i can’t help but to feel very “poor” and insecure.

I don’t know what i should do. I seems to have lost myself and don’t have the passion to do anything. Other than working and going home, i don’t even feel like stepping out of the house. Since i am clearing my leave recently, i have been staying home for the past one week, doing nothing and just watching drama brainlessly, sleeping at 4am and waking up after 11am. I didn’t even feel like step out of the house or talk to anyone. I have a list of things that i wanted to do but i just don’t feel like it.

Is this normal? What can i do to recover?

GIRL USE GUY FOR “EXERCISE” DON’T WANT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM

0

Hes very nice but might be moving, so we decided to be casual until he makes a decision but we have both stated we are open to a relationship if all stays well, well its been a month, and the more i see him, the more apparent it becomes that if S was off the table, we would not be a good fit

Hes very aggressive and im very sensitive, and our conversation just does not flow well, we just have amazing
“bed time”. im going to give it one last hangout to try and get a real conversation going but if it fails then i want to tell him I don’t see it becoming more than this.

I feel bad and almost like he’s waiting to see how we turn out to decide if he wants to move or not so im feeling pressure to speed it up and make a decision as to not lead him on, once i decide how im feeling. he will definitely ask me why, and i want to know what to say, and can i do it over text, he lives 30 min away and i don’t want to drive that far just to tell him i only see us as a casual thing now, i feel bad because i agreed i could see us being in a relationship, but the more we hang out the less i feel that way, I feel like i walk on eggshells around him and he’s always pissy over something.

he seems like hes always annoyed at me and whether its just his personality or not, i take stuff personally so his sarcasm and mine just wouldnt mesh

I’m scare he feels that I’m only using him for “special”. But it actually is.

MAN OWES EX-GF $12K, THEN THREATENS TO UPLOAD HER NUDES

A 23-year-old man had threatened to upload nude videos of his ex-girlfriend after she asked him for the money that he owed her.

He was then sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment on 7 June.

The parties cannot be named due to a court order protecting the identity of the victim, with the plan pleading guilty to one count of threatening to distribute intimate recordings of the woman without her permission.

Background

The couple were in a relationship between 2018 to 2021, and the victim had lent the man money for him to pay off his debts.

They then broke up in January 2021 and the victim continued lending him money after that.

In July 2021, the man then agreed to repay the victim the money that he owed via monthly instalments, with the total sum being more than $12,700.

The victim texted the man on 10 December about the payment for the month which he had yet to do so, and an argument then ensured with the man saying that he will not pay her from then on.

He then told her that if she posted about him online, he will post about her online, as well as threatening to post photos and videos showing her nude.

The man then sent her two videos of her in the shower and 7 photos of her in her underwear, with her face being visible in the video and some of the photos.

He then told her that she had lent him the money willingly, and whether he wanted to return the money to her was his business.

The victim was shocked to see the photos and videos which were taken without her permission.

When they were dating, the man had entered the toilet while she was showing and waved his phone around, and the victim had told him to not take any photos.

The victim felt scared because she believed her ex-boyfriend would go ahead and post the photos and videos, and she then made a police report.

The man then deleted the photos and videos and when his electronic devices were screened by the police, they found one of the photos on his phone; none of them were uploaded though.

MAN SAYS HE HAS A SMALL MANHOOD, GF ONCE ASKED HIM “IS IT IN” IN BED

0

I have a confession. I am a big man with a small manhood. It might sound stupid, but this is something that makes me embarrassed and unconfident.

To be specific, I am 1.86m tall. People who have seen me might get the impression that down there is big, hard and rock solid. Truth is, it is barely 8cm when fully erect. When it is flacid, it can’t even be seen. This is why I shave, so that it can at least be seen. This is real cringe. When I last celebrated my birthday, I wished for my p*nis to grow bigger.

Both my 2 ex-girlfriends have showed astonishment at its size. I have no idea. I don’t compare sizes with other people, or even talk about it. But they mentioned that I am way below the average size, and that it was much smaller than they have expected. I felt so lousy about myself. Now that I think about it, how would they know what is average? Have they seen enough penises to make a fair judgement?

There was an incident in which my last girlfriend asked “Is it in?” Things were actually going well, but once I heard that, I became anxious and my whole body just shut down. I could not even perform the deed, and that was the last time I ever got intimate with someone. She broke up with me soon after.

That was 2 years ago. I now have a new gf, the 3rd one. We haven’t slept together yet, I would always give the excuse to wait until we graduate, so that it can be extra special. I told her that this is the responsible thing to do. Of course, I did not mean it. Truth is, I am very afraid that the same thing might happen again. Lucky for me, she did not take it negatively but instead expressed that it was sweet of me to think of it this way. Because of this, she feels doubly assured that I love her for who she is, rather than just wanting her physically. Well, she has no clue of what really is going on.

Next academic year will be our final one, and I only have a short time to get my shit together. I am now saving up money to possibly go for treatments to increase its size. But I am worried for my finances too. Such procedures will definitely cost a lot. And business school fresh grads usually don’t get very high starting pay. I have very little knowledge in this area, and I don’t know how much exactly it will cost and how long it will take. Can someone give advice on this, either in a reply or in a separate whisper?

And guys, if you don’t sharing in the comments, can I know 3 things?

1) What is the length of your thing when it is at rest?

2) What is the length when it is at full stretch?

3) How tall are you?

WEIRD MAN TOUCH KU KU BIRD OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

0

Pls Help!

A man has been living in the parking lot behind my apartment in his car for several months on and off. I live on the first floor. When I was doing the dishes the other night (fully clothed) I turned around and he had his phone flashlight pointed at his ding dong, and he was masturbating, watching me.

After I did a double-take because I could not believe what I saw, he persisted. I yelled for my boyfriend to come over and only then did the man leave and get back into his car and drive off, only to return the next morning. I was in shock and did not really know what to do (I should’ve called 999 right away), but I tried contacting the non-emergency line and could not get through to them that night.

The next day after consulting with family and friends and realizing it was an emergency, and because he had not left, I called 999. An officer came to my apartment and filed a report. the man was parked in his car in the parking lot the whole time the officer was there, but the cop said he couldn’t legally ask the man to leave because he was parked there and didn’t do anything.

The cop said all he could do was file the report and a detective would be in touch in “a few weeks”…he also advised me to get the owner of the parking lot involved, because only he has the legal right to have the man’s car towed.

I tried calling the tow number on the sign in the parking lot but the number is not even in service.

What can I do at this point…? It has been over a week now and he has still not left the parking lot, (in the past he has come and gone). I feel extremely unsafe and I feel like no one is wanting to get involved for whatever reason. It seems pretty straightforward to me.

I don’t even care about charging him I just want him to go away. It’s really throwing me off. If anyone can guide me and help me get to the next step that would be immensely appreciated.

S’PORE POLICE RESPOND TO EX-POLICEWOMAN’S POST ABOUT WORK PROBLEMS

The Singapore Police Force issued a statement responding to former policewoman Reema Razif’s Facebook post recounting her experiences and struggles on the job.

Here is what they said

POLICE STATEMENT

In response to media queries, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) would like to respond to an online post by “Reema Razif”, and her account of her experience working in the SPF. Reema resigned from the SPF on 2 May 2022 for personal reasons.

The SPF builds fair and progressive workplaces for our employees. Many of our female officers excel in their career, balancing work and family responsibilities.

The SPF does not penalise officers who are pregnant and instead, provides alternative work arrangements to ensure their well-being. During Reema’s four pregnancies between 2016 and 2021, she was given light duty assignments that were primarily desk-bound. Reema was not asked to work while she was on paid maternity leave.

Reema received a performance grade similar to many of her colleagues in the Police Land Division, while she was in service.

The SPF takes a firm stance against workplace discrimination practices. There are avenues for SPF officers to raise complaints on discriminatory workplace practices to their unit Commander, Police Headquarters (HQ) or the Ministry HQ, and such complaints are looked into seriously.

Reema wrote about her police work on her social media account in April 2020. Existing Public Sector rules disallow officers from commenting on issues relating to their own agency or policies they are involved in, without prior authorisation. Reema was thus advised accordingly by her supervisor for not seeking clearance for her post, but she was not penalised for the incident.

We thank Reema for her contributions to the SPF and we wish her all the best in her future endeavours.

Statement from Reema

I am overwhelmed by all the unconditional love & support from every single one of you. This was truly unexpected. You took your time to msg me, to comment and many of you even shared with me your personal experiences. Through this, I learned that many, many, many women and even men, went through or are going through similar ordeals as I did.

I hope with this, some light is shone and only good things will come moving forward. And to those who left before me, you made me feel reassured and hopeful.

I am very grateful for all of you who have been so kind and gracious towards me. I believe I have individually replied to everyone and if I haven’t, do accept my apology as I may have overlooked it.

Ironically now, I feel exceptionally appreciated & definitely acknowledged. You all gave me my farewell card, a VERY BIG one.

My heart is full & it is because of you.

Sincerely, Thank You.

Recap

BF BECOMES WEIRD AFTER GF STOPS BIRTH CONTROL

0

So I’ve been having a weird time with my bf. Over the past 6 months, I’ve been planning on stopping my bc. I’ve been on it for roughly 4.5 years (6 months for acne issues, 4 years being “active” with my bf). Ever since I stopped, he hasn’t been acting like himself.

I’ve been expressing my concerns to him over the past 6 months, and he has been supportive, but still would send me information and articles on how bc is effective in preventing pregnancies and doesn’t cause my weight gain. I did my research as well, and I am fully aware of the efficacy of bc in preventing pregnancies and how it doesn’t necessarily lead to weight gain, but it can increase appetite, making you eat more.

I started a workout routine in January, and I’ve been diligent in making sure I watch my diet and focus on cardio and strength training.

After 4 months and finding ways to improve my workouts to make them more effective, I experienced no weight loss, but weight gain again. He tried to explain it may be building muscle, which can be possible, but I should also be seeing changes during those 4 months (like toning my figure). I was originally 60kgs in January, but I ended up turning 70kgs in May during my OBGYN visit. Please note that I’m not doing any heavy lifting, I do minimal weight training with machines at the gym, and for most of my workouts I focus on cardio (treadmill, stairmaster, etc.)

I did express to him that I was also concerned about my mental health and drive; however, he never really questioned my mood and emotions. He tries to work things out with me like a supportive partner would, since the past few years have been rough for me. When I hit my lows, I really hit a dark place and feel it weigh on me. I also lose motivation quickly and have issues with getting up in the morning to start my day. Basically, my outlook on life was miserable.

In terms of my drive, he has stated in the past that I don’t initiate things sexually with him. I’m glad he was open with me, but I realized the cause of my low libido is bc, which can cause that. Sure, things are fine when we get into things, but I don’t always achieve orgasms, as he tries to pleasure me for what seems like forever (he has been successful in the past and knows what he’s doing, but I even have a difficult time masturbating too). Also, I feel like my bc can be contributing to my slight vaginismus that’s annoying to deal with during gyno exams and when we first initiate S.

Now, that I made the decision to come off bc, and find other forms like spermicides to use as extra protection during days I may be fertile, he has been acting funny about my decision. He explicitly told me it’s my body and he respects my decision… but I feel like he tried to persuade me to stay on bc and question my other methods. We’ve always used condoms, even while I was on bc, and he would pull out before cumming (with a condom on). Birth control has similar efficacy to condoms when used properly and correctly. He’s been diligent and checking condoms too for any breakage, but that has never happened as I have been properly lubricated during s.

I’ve been updating him on how I’ve been feeling since I stopped my bc this past weekend. I told him I noticed my diminished appetite, motivation for life (trying to succeed at work and really achieve weight loss at the gym), and a glimmer of hope for my s drive over feeling a bit horny after a steamy shower. At first, he didn’t respond to my changes, until I emphasize them again and then he recognizes them.

My bf expressed to me how he has an anxiety issue and stated he has always been anxious about me getting pregnant even if I was on bc. I have reassured him that I will be using my own methods to protect myself while he wears a condom (Phexxi, spermicide, tracking my cycle, taking my basal temp, checking my cervical mucous). I don’t know what else to do to make him feel comfortable. He avoided s with me this past weekend even if I still pleasured him (gave him a BJ). My period was also ending and he’s never been opposed to having period s with me… but he kept touching and kissing me before we went to bed and didn’t initiate s with me. He promised me that the next morning we’ll have s, but we never did. I was upset after that and he picked up on it and apologized and said we can try the weekend after.

So now, after reassuring him and doing something that will benefit our s life, now I feel lost and confused. He said I was dismissive about his concerns originally, but I explained to him that he always persuades me not to make a decision that will benefit me. I would like some sound advice. I try to be introspective on things I may be doing wrong. He has stated I have been dismissive and annoyed at him when he gives his input, but those reactions were in response to him persuading me on multiple occasions. So, I feel like he’s been dismissive shoving things in my face, not understanding how I truly feel, and noticing the changes post-bc. I appreciate the feedback. TIA.
