MAN FEELING BAD CAUSE HE’S POOR AND HIS GF IS VERY RICH

MAN FEELING BAD CAUSE HE’S POOR AND HIS GF IS VERY RICH

Met a great woman 6 months ago.

She comes from a nice family with two parents, a nice big house, fancy holidays, nice cars and all that. She herself isn’t super-rich but she’s doing better than me.

I come from a poor family, single mum, dad went to prison, no home ownership or cars. I work as a language assistant usually but take a break and worked in a bar.

I feel bad because I have no wealth and cannot provide stability for our future. I’ve tried retraining in journalism and as a teacher and came up a little short and things just didn’t work out.

Have any of you worked through wealth inequalities in a relationship? And/or dealt with the insecurity about being poor?

I think I wouldnt be worried about these kinds of things if she was poor as we would be in the same place but it just isnt the case. It’s not a bad thing that she’s from a nice family. It’s more of a hindrance over me and not being able to fix it.

Here are what netizens think:

  • It’s something I’ve dealt with before in previous relationships. There were definitely some insecurities which eventually pushed me to be more ambitious but I think a lot of insecurities & issues that can come up can be solved through communication. I think as long as you’re able to provide for yourself, have goals you’re striving for, and can still have a good time within your means, women will respect that.
  • Most women over 30 have come to the understanding that we must be able to take care of ourselves. We are not looking for someone to take care of us 🙂
  • I don’t care if he’s a shoe salesman, as long as he works hard, can provide for himself and appreciates the things he wants and has. I want a partner, not a dependent or provider.

WOMAN SAYS HAVING HER CHILD WAS THE WORST DECISION OF HER LIFE

WOMAN SAYS HAVING HER CHILD WAS THE WORST DECISION OF HER LIFE

Deciding to have a child was the worst decision of my life
I’m a 29 yo married mother of one 1.5 year old son who I love but wish I didn’t have. I never wanted to have kids but my husband did. After he nudged me towards the idea of having kids for years mixed with my stupid biological clock freaking out that I’d be 30 soon, I made the decision to “just get it over with” and we got pregnant on one of the very first attempts just over two years ago.

As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I was hit with a wave of dread. I kept pushing that feeling down and told my husband and then friends and family I was pregnant. Everyone was so excited I didn’t have the heart to terminate the pregnancy like every fiber of my being was begging me to.

I won’t go into the whole awful story but my pregnancy was a nightmare riddled with tons of complications. The newborn stage was even more brutal. The crying in the night gave me crippling postpartum anxiety that is now better but still lingers.

Soon after returning from leave, I lost my job due to the pandemic. It financially made more sense for me to stay at home for a bit instead of paying for daycare but I miss my old life so much. I had no real problems in hindsight. Sleeping through the night and then going to work and then coming home to just my husband, the dog and the TV seems like a lost paradise now. I was an idiot to give that life up.

There have been good days, even good weeks since then and I really love my son but I’m not enjoying or well suited for parenthood. I like quiet flexible days with adult conversation or the ability to focus on interesting topics or work projects uninterrupted. I do not enjoy a day filled with loud screaming, kids shows, and having to follow a strict schedule to keep my toddler from having a hangry meltdown.

I know this phase will end too and maybe I will enjoy motherhood once he is a bit bigger but right now it has thoroughly changed my life in a way that I do not appreciate or want. I got my tubes tied last year because I refuse to put myself through this again. I just wish I had enough courage to listen to my intuition and decided to leave my husband when it was clear he wanted kids and I didn’t.

MOTHER IN LAW INSTALLS SPY CAMERA, SCARED SON NOT TAKEN CARE OF

MOTHER IN LAW INSTALLS SPY CAMERA, SCARED SON NOT TAKEN CARE OF

My husband got into a car accident almost a month ago, He’s been bedridden due to a back injury and I’ve been his primary caregiver. The pressure has been too much from my mother in law, she keeps telling me to take care of him and be there for him constantly.

She begged me to take time off work and I did, asked me to send her hourly updates about his condition (first 2 weeks) but when I don’t she’d get mad and cause an issue. She visits every day but doesn’t do anything to help, alternatively, she’d list all the things I should or shouldn’t do. The family keeps telling me she’s just worried sick for her son so I try to stay calm.

Days ago, she called to berate me about not replacing the sheets quickly, I had no idea how she found out since my husband didn’t call her. My sister in law called me to tell me that her mom installed a camera in the bedroom to see if I was taking proper care of her son.

I was stunned, after searching the room I found the camera, I called my mother in law and had a huge fight with her. She admitted it and said she was just feeling concerned and wanted to make sure her son was being cared for (despite him calling her every day) I yelled at her telling her that she’s no longer allowed into my home after this.

She lost it and went on a rant about how I’m stopping her from seeing her son and that not seeing him will literally make her sick herself. The family called me later to get me to back out of this decision but I told them she breached my privacy and took advantage of the situation, they said I’m taking it too personally and that I can’t blame a concerned mother for wanting to make sure her son’s fine, especially since she listed things she thought I was doing wrong.

I ended the conversation but my husband is upset telling me I’m being vindictive and that if his mom can’t come then he’ll move there with her.

We argued then I went outside and he’s been silent ever since.

LAWRENCE WONG – TOO EARLY TO CONSIDER RELAXING CURBS ON LIVE MUSIC

Speaking during a press conference by the Multi Ministry Taskforce, Minister Lawrence Wong said that it is still “too early” to consider easing the restrictions on high-risk activities such as live music, as well as the sale of alcohol beyond the 10.30pm limit.

Speaking to The Business Times, Wong said that they (the live music and sale of alcohol past 10.30) are being considered but whether they will be in the next step of the subsequent steps, they (the authorities) will have to make a judgement.

At the time being, it is “too early to say for now”.

It was previously reported that the streamlining of the safe management measures, which had been postponed in Late February due to an escalating Omicron wave, has since been resumed to kickstart on 15 March.

The MTF noted that the Omicron wave has likely reached its peak on 26 February, before speaking to the media about the 5 core aspects of the upcoming SMMs streamlining.

Activities such as live performances, singing, consumption of alcohol past the timing of 10.30pm, was noted by Wong.

he said that these are very specific and will be reviewed as part of the MTF’s easement on a broader scale.

MTF is also keeping a close watch on the healthcare system, as well as studying when the settings (live music, alcohol sale etc) can be eased, and they will provide more details once it is ready.

SEZAIRI BECOMES FIRST S’PORE SINGER TO HIT 100 MILLION STREAMS

Former Singapore Idol Sezairi Sezali created history by becoming the first Singaporean singer to have more than 100 million streams on his song, on Spotify.

His song, It’s You, was first released in 2018 and later included in his 2020 EP, Undertones; and it then went viral around the world when it started being used by TikTokers on their videos.

His hit song then hit the Global Viral 50 on Spotify, and the music video on Youtube has since raked in more than 64 million views.

The singer posted a photo onto his Instagram page celebrating the achievement:

“Here to report that you guys have made me the first Singapore artist to have 100 million streams for a Single on Spotify!

‘It’s you’ was written with the conscious thought that I wanted to turn my life around and be a better person, husband, lover and human being. To see it mean so much to so many of you has restored my faith in the beauty and humanity of music. 

Music is healing and writing music for the past 15 years has made me painfully aware of my own brokenness. Through it all I’ve learnt that the validation I’ve always been seeking was always here, within. Thank you for helping me achieve this milestone in my journey towards becoming whole.

Thank you for sharing the love that started with a thought, turned into words that concluded in such positive catharsis for me. Thank you endlessly.

Lastly this post wouldn’t be right if I didn’t thank the girl who inspired this song and who continues to inspire me every minute of the day. Thank you for truly seeing me, believing in my abilities and showing me my worth even when it’s hardest for me to see. I love you.

Yours forever,
Sez”

GUY PUNCHED GF IN THE FACE AND BLOCKS HER, LEAVE HER HANGING WITH BTO

GUY PUNCHED GF IN THE FACE AND BLOCKS HER, LEAVE HER HANGING WITH BTO

I have a boyfriend who constantly blocks me and tells me he wants to break up with me. I am very tired because he always says that he doesn’t see a future with me. But we have been together for 4.5 years.

I want to have a future with him. We even applied for BTO already. However he always tells me that I am easily influenced by my friends and social media. I feel guilty going out with my friends, and feel even more guilty when I use social media or play games.

He always calls me toxic. He had hit me before, making me bleed several times by punching me in the lip and the solar plexus.

He calls me manipulative. I always try and go out of my way to communicate to him and meet him even though he blocks me everywhere. But he will act cold to me and pretend like I don’t exist.

What should I do? I feel very stressed out but he blocked me and there is no way for me to contact him. I have been very supportive but to him I am just not trustworthy. I feel so tired in the relationship because he likes to play mind games like tell me I am toxic, or say that it is all because of social media and my friends thats why I am behaving the way I am.

I want to break up with him but I am afraid as I still love him and care for him. But it’s so tiring to be in a relationship where I dont feel like my actions are being reciprocated. I just want to communicate with him but he always refuses. I am tired.

He always blames me when he gets angry or fails at anything in life. For example he used to be an elite student with very high CAP, but when his grades dipped, he said it was because I was influencing him to become a worse person, but in actuality, I am a first class honours and have always kept improving throughout our 4.5 years. I feel like he doesn’t even have his own life together.

I keep trying to piece it for him but I don’t want to baby his life anymore.

GIRL WANTS TO TAKE ALL MONEY FROM JOINT ACCOUNT AFTER BREAK UP

GIRL WANTS TO TAKE ALL MONEY FROM JOINT ACCOUNT AFTER BREAK UP

Just broke up with my fiance whom I share a joint account with. Am I the Ahole for asking for 100% of the money in our joint account because I think he should compensate me for my time wasted on him?

I have been dating my fiance for 3 years and we have been working for 2 years since graduating. He proposed to me last december and since then, I have been asking him to plan for our wedding, which I would prefer to be held as soon as possible because I am tired of working and want to be a housewife.

He told me he would prefer to have the wedding next year because he needs some time to plan the wedding but I want it to be held preferably by end of this year. Since he has agreed to stay at my parents’ house after marriage then there shouldn’t be any issues at all.

I just cannot understand why he wants to wait until next year to have the wedding because actually I was asking for a very simple wedding. I only wanted to invite our friends and relatives to a dinner at a mid-tier hotel like Pan Pacific and to get very affordable wedding bands like Cartier. He certainly can afford them because he has $30k in his personal savings account and he earns $5k a month.

I’m not even asking for much because I know there are way more expensive places to hold a banquet and way more high-end jewellery brands to get wedding bands from. But he thinks that the wedding bands and hotels I chose are too extravagant even though I have offered to help him pay 20% of all expenses. Because of all these issues, we quarrelled a lot and eventually I decided to break up with him because I realise he’s a very selfish person who doesn’t even care about what I want at all. Even the engagement ring he got for me was a small 0.9 carat which cost only $9k although I have specifically told him that I wanted a 1.5 carat.

Now that we have broken up, we are in the midst of discussing how to split our joint account money and he said he will give me half of the money inside, which is only $10k. His excuse for giving me only half of the money is that he was the only one contributing to the joint account. He did contributed to 100% of the joint account but I was the one who encouraged him to save up. Whenever he wanted to buy useless things like Nintendo Switch, I stopped him from buying them. Without me, he wouldn’t even have savings at all. Moreover, I wasted 3 years of my life on him so I think I deserve more than $10k. Honestly, even if he gives me all the money, which is merely $20k, I still don’t think it’s enough to compensate for the 3 years. But he seems reluctant to give me 100% of the money and kept giving me all sorts of lame excuses. Should I continue to ask for $20k or should I just settle for $10k? I’m so tired of fighting over this.

NEW DELTA & OMICRON HYBRID REPORTED BY SCIENTISTS IN A FEW COUNTRIES

NEW DELTA & OMICRON HYBRID REPORTED BY SCIENTISTS IN A FEW COUNTRIES

Scientists are reporting a new Delta and Omicron hybrid variant emerging from several European countries, and has been nicknamed “Deltacron” or “Deltamicron”, according to New York Times.

The hybrid variant contains the genes from both variants, and the Institut Pasteur shared evidence for the variant onto the international database of Covid-19 genomes, GISAID.

The hybrid variant has been found in a few French regions, along with the Netherlands and Denmark, with reports of about 30 cases being found in the UK, as well as cases being detected in the US, according to the UK Health Security Agency via the Guardian.

There is belief that the hybrid variant has been spreading since the start of 2022, according to GISAID.

The Institut Pasteur’s Atienne Simon-Loriere spoke to the Guardian that there could in fact be several forms of the recombinant virus, with the cases reported in the UK and US differing from the ones found in France and Netherlands.

However, Simon-Loriere said that it is not a novel concern and there is no need to panic, because the recombinant variants are not uncommon, and the “Deltacron” isn’t the first, nor will it be the last, recombinant variant.

It has also not displayed the potential to grow exponentially.

Additionally, as the cases are still somewhat rare, there isn’t enough data about the variant’s severity, or how effective will the vaccines perform against it.

He added that the genome of the hybrid suggests that it doesn’t represent a new pandemic phase, and that the surface of the virus looks similar to Omicron, with the rest of the genome being Delta – the human body could still recognise it as Omicron.

“KINGS OF THE ROAD” CYCLING IN HUGE GROUP, REFUSE TO USE BIKE LANE

A video emerged online showing a huge group of cyclists riding on the road and hogging the entire third lane of the road.

There were about 25 cyclists clustered together and riding together, and there was a bicycle lane beside them but they were seen cycling on the road lane instead.

The netizen who shared the video, said:

“Happens every Saturday around 8am Changi Coastal bro. Look how big group and they don’t even cycle at the bicycle lane provided.”

Potential penalties

According to the LTA regulations, with effect from 1 Jan 2022, cycling groups must not exceed the maximum length of 5 bicycles (or ten cyclists when riding two abreast where permitted).

Errant on-road cyclists will also face a higher composition fine of $150.

DAYDREAMING DRIVER NEVER SEE RED LIGHT, CRASHES INTO MOTORCYCLIST

A video emerged online showing a daydreaming driver failing to conform to the red light and rear-ending a motorcyclist that was waiting at the traffic stop.

The incident happened on 11 March at a traffic stop along Shenton Way at about 5.20pm, and was captured by another vehicle.

The motorcyclist was seen waiting a the traffic light, which was red at the time.

The Toyota Vios then appeared into frame without showing any signs of slowing down, and ended up rear-ending the motorcyclist,

The impact sent him falling backward and knocked him off his bike.

The bewildered motorcyclist then sat on the ground in a heap and stared at the driver, gesturing at him, presumably pointing out that the traffic light was red.

Potential penalties

It is an offence to beat a red light in Singapore.

Drivers found guilty of failing to conform to traffic light signals face a composition fine of $400 for light vehicles and $500 for heavy vehicles.

They also face 12 demerit points and if a driver accumulates 24 or more demerit points within 24 months, their license will be suspended.
