There was a party in my room my freshman year of college. I was blackout drunk, we had a lot of people in there. One girl said our mutual friend was upset and crying in her room, which was 2 floors down, and said one of us should go get her and talk to her. I said I’d go get her and i stumbled down the stairs to go talk to her.
I got down there and she was also drunk, and we talked. We sat on her bed and she cried and i hugged her. She started feeling better, and she was still in my arms. I was so drunk and took this as she wanted to do stuff, so I started feeling up her chest. She didn’t resist or anything, and i’m not sure if i’m making this up in my head or not because this was 4 years ago but she may have said “what are you doin”. But again didn’t resist physically or anything so i continued to feel her up. She then ended up on her stomach and i fingered her. She was moaning and seemingly enjoyed it and was into it, but then i believe i heard her say “no” quietly after about a minute or 2. Again I don’t know if i’m making that up in my head or if that actually happened, but either way I ended up stopping fingering her and left her room.
3 Days later, her friend texted me. She said “hey, i have your back if anything happens but she said you raped her. She was saying she has wanted to get with you and was happy about what happened so if anything happens i got you”. Even with this, i can’t shake the guilt of thinking I may have sexually assaulted somebody. This has lived in my head for months nonstop and this happened 4 years ago. Not sure what to do and my mental is completely and utterly destroyed. My family and girlfriend said I didn’t sexually assault her, but in my head i’m a rapist monster and don’t know how to live with myself. Mostly because she said after a few days I raped her, and I am going thru hell because of that. I know either way it was absolutely shitty, but part of me doesn’t want to be alive. I don’t want to die but the pain is just so deeply imbedded. I am in therapy and everything but feel so undeserving of anything good in my life. It’s been 4 years and i didn’t think about it for 3 years after it happened until a few months ago i’ve been endlessly putting myself thru hell. Idk what to do

You may have noticed that I haven't been on here for a couple of days. Let me tell you why...
After what happened to Roger, I knew that I had to leave.
As soon as that 'thing' had left the house...after hearing it suck the blood from it's long spindly claws...I just ran. Part of me wanted to run to Pendle's cabin, but I thought that would just prolong the nightmare. I wanted out! So I ran for the main road, thinking that I could just hitchhike out of here and return to normality.
Only that didn't work.
The main road which passes the forest was about a 3 mile walk from Roger's cabin. I'm not exactly an athlete, however, with fear propelling me, I was sure that I could run the distance in 25 minutes or so. I grabbed a torch and bolted through the front door, running straight into the dense forest. This time I didn't care about the noises, or the moving shadows, I just ran as fast as I could, using the overwhelming feeling of impending doom as fuel.
As I reached the main road, for the first time in such a long time I actually felt that I was safe. The normality of the road signs and chevrons on the bend ahead shone brightly in my torchlight and the shadows didn't seem as formidable. Then, when I noticed two tiny bright lights in the distance, a tear of pure happiness fell down my cheek.
I'm safe.
The tiny lights grew and a low rumbling sound pierced the air around me as I walked slowly down the edge of the road towards my saviour. That's when I saw it. The long pale face in the bush opposite me. As the car drew closer, the face crept higher as the 'thing' stood upright and glided from the bush towards me. It stood there, directly in front of me, staring, as if it were sizing me up for it's next meal. Dried blood had coagulated on the white hairs of it's bony greyish chest. It's eyes seemed even larger than they had before and it felt like they were penetrating my mind, searching for something.
I stumbled slowly away from this terrifying creature or human, or whatever it is, and that's when I must've fell backwards. I faintly remember losing consciousness as the roar of an engine grew louder and the woods lit up for a second, before it fell silent again and my eyes closed with the acceptance that the end has come.
I'm going to die.
It was yesterday that I woke up. My whole body ached and as I moved my head to check my surroundings, a sharp pain shot through me. I moaned as I resumed my previous position of laying flat on my back, realising that I wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. It was still dark as I searched for anything that could tell me where I was, but all I could see was rocks and moss pushing through the darkness. Fear started to crawl back as my eyes acclimatised to the deep abyss surrounding me.
I was in a cave.
My body trembled as I began to sob. I tried to quiet myself, but it was no use. My sobs echoed through the cavern and I started to panic that whatever had brought me here, was going to come back. I tried to sit up slowly, thinking that I could just get up and run out of this place, however, as I moved my legs, I met resistance. Thick vines had been tied around my ankles and secured around the weird rock formations below me. I pulled at them with my hands, desperate to rid myself of this physical restraint and mental torture. They were so tightly wound, that I felt myself clawing at my skin each time I pulled and ripped at them. It seemed like I was getting nowhere when I heard a faint grunt from down the tunnel, making me stop instantly.
All I could hear now was my quick shallow breaths, however I could sense a change in the atmosphere. The air felt thicker and I felt as though I was being watched. My eyes frantically searched the darkness around me, almost wanting to see something to confirm that I wasn't alone. I sensed movement in front of me and, despite the intense fear controlling me, I called out.
"Who's there? Where am I?...ANSWER ME YOU FREAK!"
I took a sharp intake of breath and immediately wished I could retract the last sentence, knowing that I had probably initiated a showdown with my shouting. But nothing happened.
I immediately returned to clawing at the vines around my ankles. My fingers were now getting wet with what I can only imagine was blood from the self-inflicted scrapes of my fingernails. This didn't stop me though, I was adamant on releasing myself from the clutches of this freak. I even think I would've cut my own feet off for freedom, at this point. I had to get away. It was no use, however, because as soon as I started to notice that I was making progress with the vines, I was forced to stop.
I could smell it before I saw it. The distinct smell of mud, the metallic tinge of blood and a pungent body odour, filled the air as a dull shape in the distance grew larger. The 'thing' was here and it was gliding towards me slowly, making a low gurgling noise. I pushed my arms against the cold mossy cavern floor below me and tried to shift myself upward, away from the creature, wincing as the restraints restricted my movement.
"Please...let me go...please..."
The 'thing' didn't react at all to my pleading. It just continued to move closer to me, until it was stood right at the bottom of my feet. I resisted the urge to gag as the smell invaded my nostrils, making my stomach churn and I began to wonder if this creature had the same senses as me. I'm almost entirely sure that it could see so much better than me in the dark, and it certainly doesn't seem to be affected by the overwhelming stench of death that it reeked of.
My thoughts were interrupted as the 'thing' crouched down and raised its arms either side of me. I started to scream as it slowly slid over the top of me, resting on it's long pointed claws, dyed red from the blood of my friend. I pushed my arms against the icy coldness of it's bony chest and desperately wiggled my legs against the restraints, as it lowered itself down on to me. Then I felt a sharp claw press against my neck, forcing me to stop my assault.
I let auto-flight take over for the next few minutes while I escaped deep into the safety of my mind, away from the realism of what was happening. Away from the pain. Away from the quickening grunts. I became a teenager again, at the beach with my mother, jumping over the waves on the shoreline. I wish I could've stayed there forever. It was pure happiness.
I can imagine you're now thinking 'How on Earth are you writing this?'. It must seem to you that I must now be dead. But let me tell you, I am alive. In actual fact, I'm totally ok, apart from the deep cuts on my ankles from those bloody vines. It let me go. It cut the vines with one little scratch from it's claws and let me walk right out of there.
The cave isn't that far from my cabin. It's well hidden, but I still don't realise why I didn't see it before.
The weird thing is, I feel different.
I'll let you know if anything else happens.

Hi folks. I'll keep the story as short as I can:
I've been living in a rowhouse for 8 years. I and 3 other people rent the upstairs unit from the landlord, who lives downstairs.
Landlord has decided to sell the home. She has serious buyers, but at the time of writing they have not yet closed on the house—however, they're jerking current LL and us around as if they do.
Buyers initially said they wanted tenants, they were gonna increase our rent a bit but we said okay. They made us go through the whole application process (including a fee, which they said they'd return to us because it's dumb to pay an app fee for where we're already paying rent), approved us, then sent us a lease...which was a very bad lease. Multiple illegal/unenforceable clauses among other unreasonable things, including some real red flags. Yeah, at that point it's looking like we wouldn't want to deal with them as landlords, but we've got a good thing up here and didn't want to move.
So under the encouragement of a lawyer I know, the other roommates and I proposed some edits and sent it back, along with a reminder that we need 90 days notice for lease non-renewal or rent increase (which they were either ignorant of or hoping WE were ignorant of.)
They now are backing out of the tenant thing and are saying they do not want us as tenants, specifically because they do not know the law and do not like being made to feel like that's their fault. (I'm barely even paraphrasing there. It would be funny if it weren't the roof over my head. But basically, they don't like that we didn't roll over.)
So now they're saying they'll only buy the house if delivered empty. They've acknowledged the 90 day timeline, so current LL gave us official notice today—she doesn't want to, she was really trying to keep us here, but she's so tired of this whole process. However, they're refusing to repay the application fee (they're saying we weren't approved—we were, they even sent us a lease) and we're concerned at the possibility that they could use our application docs to qualify as projected rental income for the mortgage. Is that a possibility?
Is there anything I should be aware of in this situation? Any rights we might have, possibility that they could screw over the current LL because they haven't closed yet but are making her give us notice, etc?
I was thinking it was a pretty straightforward "if we get the legal 90 day notice, that's it, this is the risk of renting" but a few people have mentioned things like how LL should demand more money for delivering it empty, or we should receive money for vacating, idk. I'm just wondering if there are terms or things I should go look up. To be clear, LL would not be mad if they backed out, as long as she doesn't get screwed over in the process.

Hawkeye

"Clint. You should not be here."
"Really? I retire for, what, five minutes and it all goes to shit."

Clint Barton worked as one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top agents for a number of years under the codename Hawkeye, being put on various assignments from keeping an eye on notable items like Mjolnir and the Tesseract to the mysterious Budapest mission where he recruit Natasha Romanov to S.H.I.E.L.D.. These experiences led to him becoming a founding member of the Avengers despite his own claims of just being a regular guy with a bow. Hawkeye worked with the Avengers for several years, from Ultron's attack to the superhero civil war that saw the group falling apart at the seams. However, his life as he knew it was snatched away after the invasion of Thanos, which saw 50% of all life in the universe being erased including Hawkeye's entire family. Hawkeye took up the alias of Ronin, a vigilante that roamed the globe in a vengeful rampage to kill the many criminals that had survived Thanos' snap. He eventually rejoined the Avengers after they discovered a way to bring back everyone that had been erased, but the guilt from what he had done as a result of his grief still weighed on him even after his family had been brought back. It wasn't until he met his future protégé Kate Bishop that Clint's faith in himself and his efforts as a superhero were restored.

"Nice shot."
"Yeah, no shit."

Board games are fun, aren't they? My favorite was always Monopoly, which took forever. My family would rarely offer to play with me due to the duration. However, they offered last week. I was so excited to play it again, considering I'm off to college soon, and I really wanted one last go. As I set it up, I thought about all the fun we'd have in the night to come. I was more than wrong.
As I continued to set it up, I noticed something. One die was missing from the box. I began to panic, looking for it all over the box, but to no avail. The die was nowhere in sight. I went back to the attic, where we kept the games. There, I found a lone die sitting in the middle of the room on the floor. It was black and labeled with various images:
A Smiley Face A Bullet A Water Droplet A Tooth A Dog And lastly, A Saw
I had never seen a die like this in my life. What was it for? I couldn't figure it out. I decided that we'd have to make do and assign the images numbers. As I walked down the attic stairs, I dropped the die. It rolled down the stairs and landed on the floor after hopping a few times. As I picked it up, I saw that a Tooth was facing up. I shrugged and walked towards my family. I would never recover from the sight I'd see.
There they were, on the couch of the game room, ripped to shreds with various markings on them. Tooth marks, to be exact. I heard a noise behind me as I analyzed the hell in front of me. I turned around to see the culprit.
He was 7 foot and 3 inches tall, dressed in a suit that was ripped up in several places. He wore a bowler hat, and had an absolutely massive head. The face was lacking a nose, but had thousands of teeth, and around thirty little yellow eyes near the mouth.
The creature charged at me with its horrifying mouth wide open. I dropped the die, and grabbed a shitty pocket knife. I jabbed it into one of its eyes, but that wasn't enough to stop it's pursuit. It tackled me as the die rolled away. As I braced for death, the creature vanished. Where has it gone. I looked to see the die had stopped rolling. It landed with the saw facing upright. I began to panic more, as I heard the front door open, and saw a man dressed as an executioner walking towards me calmly. I tested a theory I had at that moment, and dropped the die as he walked my way with a rusty saw in his left hand. His right hand was holding a rope with a knoose on the end. As the die stopped rolling, he disappeared. It landed on the smiley face. Out of nowhere,the most grotesque looking man I have ever seen entered with a smile drawn on his emotionless face. I dropped the die this time out of pure fear. The man vanished.
It has been days now. Every time it lands, I have to roll, or else I will be hurt by:
A Smiling Man A Soldier Who Won't Stop Laughing A Living Acidic Sludge A Toothy Monster A Hellhound And The Executioner
I need to sleep soon, but I won't wake up. Hell is on Earth, and it was awoken with a roll of the dice.

So, let me introduce myself. I am a member of major pirate org, we do ship captures, interdictions, you name it. Amongst that is JT. Every single one.
We take over the Jumptown with ground team, logistics team and air team, air team dealing with fighters and bombers, ground team dealing with ships that get through utilizing ballistas, novas and handheld railguns. Logistics team loads and hauls. Multi-crew, team play, communication, everything. Clockwork. We easily deal with entire server, even if organized groups of players attack us. Tho this JT we made 10 million between 30 people. How? 1. One or both of drug dispensers stop working, causing the entire group to do a 1-2 hour long relocation and capture of JT on another shard. Happens about twice a day. 2. Ships explode when entering hangar. Lost more then 30 million worth of aUEC just today. 3. Player character desync/invisibility bug. Hard to fight infantry that teleports all over the place in an enclosed space, slowing down the entire process. 4. 30k. More then 4 ships filled with 50+ boxes teleported to orison is fun, not talking about entire group moving and having to capture the JT on another server. 5. Invisible ship/desync, missile desync. Invisible ships are hard to fight, especially if it’s A2. Desyncing, teleporting arrow is lets just say hard…. To hit. Eclipse s9s unusable due to launch being delayed by about 3 seconds, and with current speed need they never reach the target anyway. If something is not standing still, it won’t hit. And sometimes it won’t hit a still target. Missiles are just crazy in general, being a roll of a dice, rather then a skill-dependent weapon. They can just miss a still target too, for unknown reasons. 6.The “full Desync of death” Where you get pretty much completely disconnected, but still ingame. Cant exit seat, can’t operate ship, can’t do anything, input bandwidth spiking to 10mbps, and staying there. Other players report their own “parallel worlds” For example today I’ve been sitting in a cutlass waiting to be loaded, when we got attacked by two titans.For me there were no titans. For other player they were there, for other player they were somewhere around Grim Hex. Same player names. Then I ordered my org mate to kill me and deliver the cargo, he did so and couldn’t get into the seat even tho I was dead next to it. When I held backspace, he reported the ship initiating self destruct even though in my game I was well, alive, and no self destruct. Watching his discord at this moment he frantically tried to deactivate the SD while a titan was shooting the ship, tho not doing damage, and pressing backspace second time for me did nothing. And for him too. In the end: cutlass self-destructed, with 320 boxes of maze, and more then two hours of people moving the boxes. 7. Kits When you go out as a pirate you want to have good armor and weapons. Tho every time I do that, I lose the entire thing to one bug or another. Getting stuck in textures, blowing up when touching the forcefield of the hangar, losing any way to control the ship during descent due to a major lagspike that lasts multiple minutes, or just slow-warping under planet surface, you name it. Just off the top of my head.
I can continue the list, but I think you get the point. At this point we are not fighting other players, npcs or eniviroment. We are fighting endless bugs. At this point we as an org spend more time avoiding bugs and planning for them(doesn’t work) then actually planning the operation. And it usually ends with not us being gloriously vaporized by an A2 bomb, being sent to kleshier, but to some kind of bug or sever going into the “full desync of death” for most of us. I would not post this if there would be any gameplay loop that would be playable. But if you can’t go to A, load boxes, and deliver them to B without encountering a bug that physically prevents you from doing that, that’s where you realize you have an issue.
This is an outcry towards CIG We want to play the game, we just can’t.
Feel free to copy/paste/repost/report to IC/add, so on.

Sibling 3: middle child. became a narc. Enabler husband, physical and emotionally abusive. X communicated from family. She works with sibling 1 but they dont talk. Had a child, she is now a sociopath.
Me: youngest. Dad passed young, no shelter parent. Siblings left when i was young and mom isolated me from any family or friends. The only family i had, i was groomed by nmom to be with cousin (14-16). Nmom was investigated but never charged. Aunt (FM) also agrees she groomed me and so did the police.

Just for context: I've been dating this girl for a little over 5 months now. I didn't know her very long before we dated. She was friends with some girls, and a guy in that friend group (Note: this friendgroup existed before I knew her, and she had a boyfriend at that time.). I'll call that guy friend of the group Sam. Sam was no good to me from the second I interacted with him. I didn't really talk much with my girl about him, but I knew he wasn't worth hanging out with. We are in the same school, and so is the entirety of the friendgroup. I was having a bit of struggles with my friends, so I was with her every lunchbreak at school. None of her friends liked me whatsoever, but Sam.. he was the worst. I don't know what I did to him in his eyes, but he couldn't stand me. Constantly insulting me, though I didn't do anything. I am a year older than he is, and I'm 1 foot taller. I am not really offensive physically speaking at all, but I can be pretty tough with my words sometimes if you know what I mean. I eventually asked my girlfriend about her past with both that friendgroup and herself. That was where things got bad. She told me that she was really depressed before she met me. She was getting treated like crap by everyone, but she was just following the group so that she wouldn't get bullied by literally everyone. She was pressured a lot of times to do things fowith the group, and especially by Sam. Sam, partially, made her smoke, vape, and even do drugs. She got an addiction to cannabis because of it. Now, this isn't completely by him, her depression was a factor as well, of course. But the depression came from the loneliness and getting used by everyone she had, which was hardly anyone.. And the group pressure made her do the drugs and smoking. She cried that night when telling me all of this, and I was just taking care of her and cheered her up. As stupid as I am, I didn't do anything about it. Life went on, everything was just normal and I didn't act like it ever happened(I am so mad at myself for that by the way). But that was nothing. I don't know why it was, but I wasn't present at school some day, probably for being sick. And she went to the city center with these fake friends that exact day. They do that more often, just messing around and buying random stuff. But this time, they saw a store with al kinds of scented candles and incenses. One of them contained cannabis. And well, guess what happened.. group pressure, couldn't resist buying it because of the addiction. Then, they put it on, and my girlfriend went right above it and sniffed it all. And Sam, recorded her while being high. She even said; "Who is [My name]?" Those words were one of the most painful ones I've ever heard. When I knew the context of it afterwards, I was furious. But, I didn't do much again, the scared little weakling that I am.. I threatened him, that's all. Didn't do anything else. I am so so mad at myself for this to this day. I hated him so much. On the other hand, I have absolutely no clue why she didn't block him and just hang out with me only, because she knew they were bad for her and I wasn't, because I care about her the most out of everyone. I don't blame her though, you'll get made fun of being a hallway couple. This was a few months back. Skipping to present now, I've got a new friendgroup, and I sit with this every break now. Me and my girl still have a lot of contact, but less in school. Today something happened, I can't even describe my emotions, and this is why I'm out here. So, I was home sick today, and my girlfriend was in school, hanging out with that group. I had a fever so I was really feeling weak and couldn't do much, so I went back to sleep at around 10am. I woke up at 12:30 to get a text, sent 3m before I woke up, saying: "Hey my love, I probably have a concussion. My parents are coming to pick me up from school now We go to the doctor and probably then the hospital. I'll explain later what happened." I was freaking out. I was panicking so much, it felt like my fever was gone entirely. 10 minutes later she cleared things up for me over text. You all thought everything that I just wrote was insane? Read this. She said: "So, with [names of everyone of the friend group, including Sam], I went to McDonald's during my lunchbreak (we have a McDonald's 3 minutes away from our school, so it's actually possible). I hopped on the back of Sam's bike for the way back, because we were in a bit of a hurry. But Sam, Sam smeared the fat he had on his hands on the back of the bike where I was gonna hold my hands on purpose so I was gonna have less grip. He was cycling like an idiot, moving a lot, probably trying to make me fall off. I thought it was a joke at that moment. Then he made a stupidly sharp turn, knocking me off the bike, hitting my head really hard on the ground. I was laying there, with an intense amount of pain, and he just laughed at me and cycled away to school. Despite all my emotions, I walked back to school. Alteast, tried. I saw black on my way back and I puked. We're on our way to the doctor now, I'm not feeling well at all..." That son of a b. What is wrong with him. I was furious, he has done so much shit to her, but this time, I don't think I'll let it slide. I texted him: "What the f is wrong with you? What was the point of that? you're gone tomorrow if you don't stay the f away from us for the rest of your life and apologize to both of us after getting hit in the face." He went way too far. She was in the hospital all day. Luckily no real damage for her at all, nothing to worry about, she is okay now. But still. I don't know what to do. That message might have been a little too tough for what I'll actually do, because I know I'm just some weakling who never had a serious fight before (I still am a million percent sure I can beat him). But this is such a difficult position for me, I don't know what to do. The smearing fat and laughing at her falling is so fucked up. I think that it's enough to go to the police with this, but it wasn't my situation, I wasn't present this day. Tomorrow I'm going to school and probably gonna see him. What do I do? Do I beat him up? Do I tell my gf do report him to the police? Please help. Thank you all for reading this.

I was in Thailand for 45 days and was able to not smoke for the longest period in 3 years. I was journaling, saving money, working hard and living my ideal life. I was so proud of myself for going so long without it, and not struggling to do so either. While I was there, the little voice in my head that constantly nagged me to smoke weed was quiet because I was so focused on my travels, moving from city to city. Now I'm back at home and normal life, and I've gotten back into the daily nightly routine of smoking, eating dinner, chilling, and then going to bed. My depression is worse than ever.
I know quitting will help with reclaiming my life again and not numbing now I feel, and honestly, I don't even like the feeling of vaping or smoking anymore because of the taste and anxiety, but the little voice in my head that says I need weed is so loud that I forget why I don't even like it in the first place when I don’t have it. Then, when l cave in and smoke, my high thoughts are filled with regret. When I’m sober, it's hard to remember those moments of regret because my addiction takes up so many of my thoughts, it’s hard to shut them out. It’s the worst on Friday nights and the weekend because I’ve come to associate free time with my smoking routine of buying take out and getting blazed until 3am. It doesn’t help that there are multiple weed shops within a 2km radius, and I have to walk past two every time I want to go for a walk.
Any tips, tricks, habit hacking or resources i can watch, listen or read that can help shut this voice up? First step is to not have something to tempt me, so I threw out my last carton and let my vape battery die. Decoupling my neural association with rest/free time, weed, and my safe space in my room is something I struggle with.
Research based hacks or anecdotal references are highly encouraged. Willpower is finite, so any tips on how to to keep me on track without having to think too hard is also what I’m looking for.
Today is day one, and hopefully the last “day one” I’ll have to endure. Let me know if you struggle with this too! '

I have some issues with my Momentum 3 headphones where the auto turn off/on sensor is very sensitive to movement and can turn off from turning my head, going on stairs, or just walking.
Has anyone else had this issue and found a fix? I bought second-hand so I may end up sending it in to get repaired/serviced by Sennheiser since I do not have info for warranty.

For one: Last night I had to go to the ER for severe back pain caused by an untreated UTI, (gone on for 2 weeks) with my husband, who is born and raised in Latin America and has never been to the ER.
The entire time he kept lecturing me about not having taken the antibiotics I was prescribed and why didn't I choose another place and asked for an earlier appointment (gyno) and throwing his hands up saying this is going to cost us a fortune and shaking his head and just being really overly stressful in that moment. Please understand they had not given me any pain medication yet so I was still very much in pain. I had told him I acknowledge the fact that I could've urgently asked to be seen, or sought m treatment somewhere else but I really didn't think it was going to turn into a kidney infection. He continued to lecture me.
This went on until I completely stopped engaging (at no point did I snap or anything) but this made him go, "I'm sorry" and he did show compassion but then just kept doing it a little while later, just less aggressive. He also kept saying it's probably nothing serious and I could've just waited until tomorrow to see my gyno but I don't know if gynos treat kidney infection?? Also I didn't know how serious it was since I had excruciating back pain.
The tests came back and they showed the start of a pretty bad kidney infection.They gave me pain meds and sent me home with stronger antibiotics.
By the end I couldn't even stand to look at him. I understand it didn't have to get to that point but lecturing me about money while I am in extreme pain is stressful. I know the ER is expensive, but I didn't understand why he thought reprimanding me over and over was going to help at all. All it did was stress me out more.
We came home around 2:30 AM I was starving and started making food and he just sat there and didn't even offer to help. This morning he's been all sweet and affectionate and I just can't reciprocate.
He was being kind and holding my hand in the waiting room and then once we saw that they were going to continue to bill us he got extremely angry, bc I could have told them that I refused to keep getting charged and left. and I snapped to which he snapped back and I just couldn't believe I was having that type of conversation in the EMERGENCY ROOM with my HUSBAND.
The complaining part is very like him, he is a huge complainer but not when I'm in pain. He is usually so kind and understanding and helpful, i.e when I'm on my period. But this is unlike him. I'm finding it really hard to get over.
And two: I know he values his family but I had no idea how much because we are furniture shopping and he wants us to buy a sofa bed (without having even discussed it with me) to host his family (in the future) that lives in LATAM. and when I asked for how long he suggested 3 weeks. And then he got SUPER upset like a child would, when I said that's too long.
To be clear: he has not invited his family to stay with us at all. He just assumed we would be buying the sofa bed and they would be staying with us.
I don't have an issue ever hosting his family. I have an issue with the fact that he just assumed that it would happen, and that it would be for that long, AND when I tried to question it, he got angry with me, even though he hadn't ever even talked to me about it before.
And I don't know to what extent he values his family but it seems that he values them over me and if that's the case I don't share that view.. I'm just worried bc I had many reservations towards marriage and this was one of them, not feeling like we had gone through enough things together to really know what the person is like/would react. This isn't even about choosing your person no matter what, or unconditional love. This is, IS this person SAFE for me and will they CONTINUE to be in stressful or otherwise conflicting situations? I'm not feeling that way right now.

My takes from season 6! Not that anyone cares but I feel like sharing because nobody else in my life watches this show lol.

1. Chelsea is so beautiful it literally hurts. She is beyond stunning. I stare at her every time she's on the screen and literally can not believe an actual human being is that gorgeous.
2. Nicole is BEYOND jealous of Chrishell. This obviously has nothing to do with past beef. It's completely obvious in the way she hates her for genuinely no reason, the reason she gave didn't even make sense and was easily disputed. Nicole is probably jealous of Chrishell's beauty and her old relationship with Jason. And Chrishell is her only target too? It's easy to spot what a jealous girl looks like, they don't need reasons to hate, they'll make a reason up in their heads to justify themselves. Or she's trying to be the new Christine... which isn't a good look and also isn't working.
3. What is the big deal with Chrishell saying she thinks Nicole is on drugs? They all acted like she murdered Nicole's family or something. That's bad for reputation? Yeah, so is Nicole saying that Chrishell was only put on a listing due to Jason's crush on her. Both are terrible for reputation. You could tell that they all just didn't want that dirty laundry aired on television so they were mad at Chrishell, which I get, but it's just funny that Mary was acting like she actually cared about Chrishell hurting Nicole's feelings when in reality she only cared about her own image.
4. Amanza's purpose? What is it? They didn't show her involved in real estate at all. She just came into every dramatic situation trying to be the "voice of reason" but really just made everything about herself. I literally couldn't believe when she said Chrishell shouldn't have said Nicole was on drugs because then Amanza's kids would think that because Amanza is friends with Nicole, Amanza is also on drugs. What is wrong with you? You were not involved at all in this! I mean I guess it's possible for kids to think that way, but are they really that complex with thinking? It just seemed like a way to insert herself. I don't think she's necessary to the show. No hate, this is just my opinion.
5. I actually kind of liked Bre a lot. I can see both sides of Chelsea and Bre's argument, but in the end, Chelsea should not care THAT MUCH about somebody else's relationship to the point where she's always bringing it up and talking about it. Like you can have your personal opinion but there's no need to make an issue out of it, Bre was right, she doesn't HAVE to understand Bre's relationship...
6. Mary clearly does not know what she's doing in terms of being a manager and resolving employee conflict. It was all really unprofessional and you could tell she was overwhelmed by it all. I actually kind of felt bad for her, and Jason's useless in terms of helping her out. It was just kind of sad to see.
7. The outfits were too over the top. It really just seems like a fashion show, I liked the earlier seasons when they focused more on real estate than drama. There was barely any real estate in this season IMO.

Ok I'm done... for now!

burner account bc I'm paranoid lol
tw: loss, alcoholic logic
I've been reading on this community for a few months and reading everyone's stories has been very helpful for me. I just need to vent a little and thought this might be a good place. sorry if this is more of a stream of consciousness I just need to get things off my chest
I'm 23, and I've been drinking almost daily for the past 2-3 years. Right now I'm averaging eight beers a night, sometimes 9 or 10. Objectively, I know I need to stop. I'm rotating grocery stores out of embarrassment, and I'm falling apart. I'm so depressed, my house is disgusting, and I sleep most of the day until I either go to work or start drinking. the problem is I feel like I don't have a good reason to stop. I live alone after multiple traumatic family deaths in the last year and a half. as a result I basically have no family left. I never really made many friends either so I'm really on my own. I go to work, work on my online classes, and drink. no one is concerned about my drinking because there's no one who would know. In my (probably addict) mind, why would I give up having fun getting drunk by myself at night when my other option is to have panic attacks? I couldnt' sleep sober at all for a year after my mom died. Now I can sometimes but it's really hard. I'm struggling so much with grief and probably ptsd that the only time I can even laugh at something or relax is when I'm drinking.
the ironic part is that I feel like I should know better. I'm a nurse, and my dad was an alcoholic the whole time I was growing up and I watched it wreck my family. I just feel like since I don't have any family left, it doesn't matter if I'm a drunk. I know I have a lot of issues at play here and should probably seek some kind of professional help haha but like I said I just wanted to vent a bit to some people who might understand. if you've read all this thank you, I support all of you!

Idk why I had a dream like this, but I'm breathing really fast bc it scared me. I was trying to fall asleep, but I had a really hard time, but then I heard music from an earbud somewhere, so I put it on. The music was super weird and creepy. It went like vee vaw, but it sounded like it was done in those really old fancy Catholic churches, very echoey. It creeped me out, so I took it out, and as I was trying to fall asleep. Something picked me up off my bed out of my home, and I was floating above my home and taken to some part of my apartment complex or some other apartment complex and I found a mama deer and her 3 baby deers hiding in a corner and someone's child was trying to take one them away and it started screaming, so I ran to it and yanked the child off the baby deer. Then I woke up freaked out. I tried looking at my phone to see what time it was, but I couldn't open it. Eventually, I got in and tried searching something, but nothing came up except the word vee vaw and that it had to do with some God of some sort and that it was linked to a disappearance of a child. And it was the child I yanked off the deer. I freaked out again and turned off my phone. I looked around my room and noticed it wasn't really my room. It was dark, and no light came through except from a fireplace. I got up scared and saw a hole form through the wall. This hole looked like it went to a different dimension. It was dark and creepy, so I tried running out of the room, and instead, I ended up at someone's front door. The person at the front door needed my help trying to help a child they knew move on to the next life. So I did. I went into her home but the energy felt off and evil and I shouted that his spirit isn't welcomed and it became violent I remember thinking, what am I doing here I know nothing about this and I'm not strong enough to fight off evil spirits so I ran out of the home and woke up again in that same dark room but this time I tried calling my bf. But some old lady came in bringing me food. And my bf appeared behind her. I tried telling him everything, but he gave me a blank look like he never knew me. As he left the room, the creepy hole formed in the wall it felt like it was calling me. I was scared, so I pulled the covers over my head, crying, wishing this was all a dream. It was, I woke up in my bed, confused for a second. Thank God that was a dream. It was a dream inside a dream, inside a dream. Four dreams in one. Me trying to fall asleep was already a part of my dream. Now I feel weird.
Sorry if my writing confused anyone, I'm not great at writing.
Btw when I was being lifted in the air, It felt so real. I could feel the weight of my body. It was weird.

I’ve had a snake for 16 years before, and never encountered something like this. I just walked past my Kingsnake’s enclosure and saw his tail coiling up on itself, his head under some cork bark and he was vomiting. He ate Monday and today being Thursday I can’t imagine it being anything food related, especially since we weren’t even handling him, nor have we recently (it’s been over 6 hours.) His temperature on the warm side is 83.8F with a humidity of 44% (it was 49 before I opened the enclosure to clean it up.)
He is on the younger side, roughly 2 feet long and is still on pinkies. The vomit was seemingly clear, but hard to tell with the coconut substrate.
Any ideas what could have caused this? I’ve never had an issue with a snake vomiting or regurgitating. My theory is that he saw some cork bark or substrate and tried to eat it. Alternatively since his front 1/3 was under the cork bark perhaps he felt stuck and vomited to create room to back out?
I’m removing the cork bark, but leaving his 4 hides in the enclosure.
