From r/relationship_advice: I [24f] told my partner [22M] of 2 years that I was struggling and felt like a low priority and he called me manipulative. Am I? quote:Real quick context we used to live together, best friends, great sex, good relationship overall but he moved out to deal with his video game addiction and get a job, he left me with the financial responsibilities and task of living indepdendently. I'm disabled it impacts my daily living and mobility. He has been much happier and healthier since he gave up board games, we've been going on dates and he talks about how in the future we'll live together and he'll move back in. Should have never let him experience that intoxicating freedom of not being your live-in caretaker, lady.

Today on buried ledes: How do I(23F) explain I’m not into music without seeming like a weirdo? quote:Ever since becoming a teen, the most common small talk/“get to know you” questions amongst my peers is always “So what kind of music are you into?”. I’m not into music though and I feel like I always see people’s interest or friendlisness fade when I say so point blank. That question makes me so uncomfortable! I mean, who doesn’t like music?

There's also nothing wrong with saying you like to listen to top 40 when you're going on a run. Like yeah there are people like her ex that are weirdly judgmental about pop music, but your average person isn't. Which of course is why it's so popular.

Miserable Maid posted:Who dislikes Crazy Frog?! Honestly, I get having problems with the "so, what kind of music do YOU like?" question because you have a high chance of your answer being "wrong" to whoever's asking. I personally don't give a poo poo if someone doesn't like my answer, but it's understandable why she would. Especially because she was together with a dipshit who always smugly gave as an answer. I also understand not being able to narrow it down because the idea of just choosing one or two genres you like and just not listening to anything else is completely absurd imo and only two kinds of people do that: a) super basic "I only listen to stuff on the radio" people without an actual taste who despise metal because it's loud and rap because "it's not even music, they just talk" b) metalheads/technofreaks/indiehipsters/whatever whose chosen genre defines their identity And both suck in their own ways. Again, I understand her difficulty in that aspect; I didn't have a Christian parent problem, but for a long while I used to also just listen to what my mom listened to which was a lot of 60s and 70s oldies and bombastic stuff like Meat Loaf and Survivor. Which is great, but a little narrow, and after I started developing my own taste I realized that I kinda...like a lot of different stuff for different reasons? But that took a bit, and I hope she gets there and people tell her that her ex was a loving idiot and she should never give a poo poo about his opinions ever again.

feedmegin posted:Is she native level fluent in both? My understanding is professional translators generally translate to their birth language(s)... From what she posted in the comments, yes. Her father made sure she learned Chinese and stayed fluent from starting at age 3 and she grew up in the USA. Being that proficient in both languages means she'll always have a comfortable fallback profession as a translator I would imagine. Content- Creepy neighbor plays audio of me having sex [Michigan] quote:I'm 22. My boyfriend lives out of state and every time he visits me at college we of course have sex. Last Friday when we finished my neighbor knocked on the door and and went off on me about how loud we were being. 1. It was a Friday night. 2. We live on a huge college campus town so it's always really loud outside. But anyway I apologized, said I was really sorry for the noise and he left. I love how the neighbor complained on Friday night but she glosses over the fact that he played her shrieking like a banshee on Sunday morning, so obviously she did it again on Saturday. And it was so loud that he could record it through the wall clearly enough to recognize her voice. Try screaming into a pillow for gently caress's sake.

"I like a lot of different things, I grew up on classical music. Right now I'm into [band] when I'm working out." Seems simple enough but unfortunately her parents and her ex broke her brain and her soul.

As somebody that actually doesn't know anything about music and doesn't really go out of their way to listen to anything, I've found the best approach is to never interact with anybody ever.

I lost my 20s and 30s to fibro, and now it's turned into multiple sclerosis. There is a link to Epstein Barr that was just discovered. I am sure some people fake it, but my life as a world travelling paleontologist was destroyed by fibro so while it is hard to believe, some people really do suffer from it.
