I once woke up in the back seat of my car, which has black leather seats. At 92F and waking up because you're over heating was not fun. What was better was I couldn't for the life of me figure out how I was clothed because my last memory of the night was wandering around naked until one of my friends took me to my car. I have no idea who dressed me because my clothes were in the house and my car was so far down the driveway (no really, the driveway is like a mile long).

Got too drunk, stumbled naked, some random person dressed me and put me back into my car. Woke up too hot, drunk, and smoked a bowl to start partying again. :)

Which ones? Headphone nerd Also, while I've never had anything stolen from me by UPS, I'm pretty sure it's happened at least once by Canada Post. Honestly, Canada Post is the worst governmental organization in Canada. Its existence only serves to lessen how bad other organizations look by comparison. And nobody should be able to use the excuse "The Christmas Rush". Christmas happens every year, for a defined period. Hiring more staff and expending more resources to help out should be an established thing by now.

I have also had something stolen from me by a postal service employee, and when you combine that with their shoddy service, I think that the organization deserves what it gets

A few years ago, I got put under to have my wisdom teeth cut out. When I woke up, I was still very groggy and couldnt walk well. So here I am 6'1 300lbs, barely able to walk, and being carried out by two 5'1-5'4 at most nurses. I have my arms around both nurses as they try to carry my out to my GF's car that took the day off to take care of me. As we are walking out, I am just starring and grinning at nurse A. I tell her how pretty she is and giggle. Nurse B says, "what about me?" I glance at her then break my neck to turn back around to nurse A and tell her how pretty she is again. Nurse A and my gf bust out laughing and nurse B has a sad face and doesnt say anything else.

Flirted with a nurse in front of my GF after wisdom teeth surgery and didnt flirt with other nurse. Lol's were had by all except unattractive nurse.

So last night some friends and I went to a party at a house about 1-2 miles away from our house. Me and one of my roommates left the party around 3 am to walk back home since we didn't have a dd. On the way back we saw a girl that needed help with her car. (the battery died while driving so the alternator or battery was bad) My roommate was wasted so he had no intent of staying around and started to walk home again. So after trying to jump it from a by passing car and realizing that she was outside for over an hour, (The temperature was in the -F and our university canceled classes today which never happens around here.) I told her we could walk to one of my nearby friends' house to warm up. Instead she insisted on walking to her place where I could spend the night and head home in the morning. So we walked a little ways talking to each other when I checked my coat pocket and found the keys to our house. When bringing this up in the conversation she said she would be fine the rest of the way home and that I should head to my house to let my roommate into the house since he was now locked out. With such a fast change in events I just went with the flow exchanged hugs and left. When I get home I found out that my roommate made it into the house through an unlocked window. Now I sit here with sadness and regret that I have no contact with her and will probably never see her again.

Get some form of contact information from everyone you meet so that you at least have a chance to talk to them again. It sucks when you want to talk to someone when you will never see them again.

I've [33m] fallen for a best friend [29f]. We actually were together 10 years ago, for 1 year. I Moved to diff country and we stayed friends when I returned. I recently told her that I'd like to take her out on a few dates and she's open to the idea. We've flirted a little. She's expressed interest, but isn't sure if it's because I offer stability, feeling of being wanted and familiarity in her life while it is lacking. She want's to go on dates with me to see how it goes. The problem is, I'm scaring her off by being a little full on sometimes. Perhaps needy. I've done this in the past with a different girl and I don't want to make the same mistake. Share your thoughts on the following... Dating a close friend. Scaring off a potential partner by being too full on too soon.

I've fallen for a close friend who is open to a few dates buy isn't sure how she feels yet and is likely to be scared off by me being too full on. I need your advise and/or experience sharing.

For my birthday last year, I was pretty new at my company, so no one new it was coming. I went to the grocery store and had a sheet-cake made and asked them to write "Please enjoy some of this free, delicious, and non-poisonous cake!" I got to work early, left it on the break room table with forks, and small paper plates. Then I scampered away before anyone saw me. Went and got some breakfast, came back in like nothing out of the ordinary. After lunch, only one small piece of it had been removed, but was still sitting on the plate beside it. Best $20 birthday gift to myself ever.

inception of mistrust where trust should be a given EDIT: didn't answer your question. Fried everything: fried snickers bar, fried oreos, fried peanut butter and banana sandwich, odd fried food.

Well, as long as there's more than one thing you're passionate about at the moment then I think pursuing a passion is viable. For example, my dad wanted to make/direct movies when he was younger (teens to twenties), but he had no money (literally, he took a job for $1/hr at a fast food joint because he spent almost all his money to pay for the first semester of college tuition). Luckily, he also found that he had a knack for human interaction and he put in the hours, which eventually landed him in a sales job. He's always been passionate about helping people and his job allowed him to do it both directly (helping his customers) and indirectly (building schools for children in rural China, until some local official wanted a cut...). Point is, he never actually went near the movie industry, except for buying massive loads of random DVDs (not porn, you dirty-minded people), but he was still able to find a job he was passionate about.

people usually have more than one passion. If not, pick the most practical way for you to pursue it, then put in the work to distinguish yourself.

I had a friend in 7th grade. I'd known him since 4th and he was always super immature. He would "borrow" money and manipulate people because, well, that was how he got attention. His family life kinda sucked. Anyways, in 7th grade health class, I wasn't having the best day and he was being a dick. I remember I was talking to him and he sneezed right in my face. We had a fire drill during class, and we were lined up outside the building when he does something (I can't quite remember what) and I just lose it. I start wailing on him and our overweight teacher had to break it up. He was all "WHAT THE HECK MAN?!?!" and I shot him the death glare as I was escorted to the office. After that incident, he was less of a dick and we are the best of bros.

BEAT UP DICK FRIEND AND HE BECAME LESS OF A DICK edit: formatting edit: I only got a warning because I was a good child

So, this actually happened about a year ago. About three months before this I traveled to the USA, over there I met this really cool guy who was the Husband of the daughter of a close friend of my mother. Anyway, the guy is great, he takes me to touristic places and I got to dinner with his family and meet his wife, newborn and pets. Fast forward the three months I receive a call from him asking me if I could help him with a project. During my trip I talked to him about my interest in Graphic design and let him know the stuff I could do, and now he wanted to hire me to design the logo of a new business he was starting. It was a sorts of specialized dog stuff's shop. He promised a good pay and I happily accepted. We exchange e-mails to coordinate the ideas, he wants a dog in the logo. He says it's a family business he is starting with his wife and wants to make it kind of homely and personal and send me pictures of his dog. He Tell's me he is gonna call the business "Brito's" . Soo I have the brilliant idea to ask for more. "Why don't you send me a front picture of Brito (dog's name), and maybe one smiling if you can get it haha, this way I'll just trace over it and make the best dog that represents your family". Well, turns out I'm an idiot. He responds "I think the photos of Jerry I send you are the best for you to work with". I knew something was wrong, I check his facebook. Right, Jerry was the dog's actual name, "Brito" was the name of the newborn he introduced me on my visit, I got confused because the business was gonna be called Brito's and it was a business about dog's stuff, therefore I assumed it was his dog's name. So I basically told him I was gonna stylize a better dog out of his son's face... Few days later he e-mailed me saying stuff changed and he wasn't gonna launch the business, his reasons are/seem legit for stuff I can't disclose. But of course,everything was awkward after my FU, although I think he understood.

I mixed up my boss's dog and baby's name. I ended up accidentally saying I could design a better dog for a logo by using his son's face rather than the actual dog. He decided to not launch the business.

Im going to try to keep it short here and get to the point, me and my girl have been together almost 3 years now. Recently she acts as sweet as she used to when we first started going out for like 10 mins and then I could say the tiniest thing and she will go off on me. Just right now I called her and she didnt answer so I called again and she said she didnt get the other calls, I just simply said that it was weird that she didnt and ill check her phone to see if somethings wrong with it and she starts going crazy saying that im calling her a liar and that im never going to change and that im a negative person and she doesnt want negative people in her life and that she didnt even want to see me just because I asked ONE QUESTION about her not getting my calls. Its so fucked up because this morning she was being extremely sweet since i havent seen her in 10 days and she was saying how she missed me and wanted to be with me already but just by asking her one question all of a sudden im the worst guy ever and she says how she hates me and how shes going to think about whether she wants to see me today or not. If any girls see this please tell me why you think she might be acting like this, Im afraid to ask her anything sometimes.

Asked my GF a simple question, she took it the wrong way and assumed I called her a liar when I never did and completely went from loving girlfriend to wanting to break up over nothing

I'll echo that. If you can't get it to work, that is the way to go. When my ex wife and I sat down with a therapist, and he recommended separation, he said the there are three scenarios that are best for the kids: Obviously, the best is with two parents that have a good marriage. The next best is with two seperate (happy) homes if the parents don't have a good marriage. But the worst is to be stuck in an unhappy home with two paretns that don't have a good marriage but stay together anyway "for the kids sake." He added that this is based on data from studies on the subject. Sorry no time to provide source. (Little help, reddit?) We decided to divorce, and my son now has two happy homes, spends equal time at each. And now I am married to someone I love. He gets the benefit of seeing a good model of a stable, loving marriage after all. But even if I were still single, I know full well that I made the best decision. Good luck to you, friend.

Try to work it out through counseling, but don't stay together "for the kids" if you are not happy. It's a fnatasy and a proven no-win decision.

Reddit, I have decided to emerge from the shadows where lurkers lie to impart some very valuable knowledge upon you. Brace yourselves, for this may change your entire sense of being... The other day while sitting in my room staring at the wall and avoiding my textbook's gaze, I realized something about a show that I'm sure some of you have heard of... Pinky and the Brain! Throughout our lives, most - if not all - of us have always assumed a few things about the two protagonists in the show, Pinky and the Brain. The biggest and most important assumption that the show falsely presents is that "Brain" is more intelligent than "Pinky" In fact, if you think about the show it is not a conflict between two mice of varying degrees of intelligence at all. It is actually a battle between good and evil. Pinky is far more cunning than Brain and successfully halts Brains plans to "take over the world" without Brain ever suspecting foul play. The benefits that both mice enjoy thanks to Pinky's elaborate plans are threefold. Brain continues to feel good about himself. Pinky enjoys company in his otherwise lonely cage, and Brain's potential victims are kept safe by the hero of the story: Pinky. So next time you watch the show... listen carefully to the tall, gangly mouse. You might even learn a thing or two from him.

Pinky is actually the smarter of the two mice. He represents all that is good and holy and saves the world from Brain in every episode... Think about it! The

Germany. We have a family business and I want to transfer the business step by step to a new LLC. But I am considering to place my father as owner of the LLC to protect the business from my very fragile relationship with my wife, because she is talking about divorce and I am about to make some massive investments into the LLC. (what a timing) Now I want to create a legal document that requires my father, who will be the owner of the LLC, to set me as the owner, whenever I decide that it is time to get ownership. Probably after the divorce is due or never as long as I stay married and my father is still alive. Is this a simple option on 100% of the business? What kind of document has this to be? Have you ever heard of something similar? Together with this "option", I also need to legally be granted the power to make decisions for the company, over the head of the owner and manage all the money as I see fit. Is this also possible to be legally documented?

Need legal advice on how to have the power like an owner, without being the owner and how to transfer the ownership whenever I see fit.

My wife and I fought a lot at the beginning of our marriage. When our daughter was 2, we separated for about 4 months. After the first month, I noticed our wireless bill was higher than normal and went to find out why. It turned out my wife had been texting much more than usual. I did a little more digging and saw that the number she had been texting the most was a guy she knew from work (a hospital emergency room). I confronted her about it and she told me he was just someone to talk to while she and I were going through this period of separation. I didn't buy it, but we eventually settled our differences and reconciled. We've been much better spouses to each other since. That was seven years ago and I try to get over what went on between those two, but I can't. Last night, I couldn't take it anymore and I asked her to look me in the eye and tell me nothing happened. She ended up coming clean and we talked about it for several hours. She regards it as the worst mistake she's ever made in her life and that she was being stupid and selfish. I believe her. In a way, I feel a little better knowing. I have something I can deal with. It's a very open wound at the moment, but it's a wound I can see, finally (if that makes sense). I've suggested we go into counseling. I've been harboring this anger for too long and she's been hanging onto the guilt for too long. Believe it or not, we've been a really good couple since all that mess. I'm just tired of the mental images. It doesn't help that the guy she slept with had a reputation at the ER for "having a really huge dick". I wish I was making that up, but at an ER, people talk about everything apparently. I'm doing better than I was yesterday. Knowing is better than wondering. I can deal with knowing.

Wife slept with another man 7 years ago during a separation. I suspected all the time and she came clean last night. I feel better knowing than not knowing and we're seeking counseling.

I know that sounds horrible but hear me out.. I'm married and have a 2 year old daughter, I also have crippling anxiety and depression. I am a full time mom, a full time wife, have a full time job, and have had to only take one class a semester because I can't take any more or I get too stressed and overwhelmed. And besides, the careers I want to follow can be achieved without going to school. I have just been hired as a dog bather and would love to be trained as a groomer in the future. OR, I could start at a vet clinic and be trained as a vet tech and eventually become certified once I have learned everything. At this point, I just don't see a reason to keep punishing myself by trying to keep up with school when I haven't even finished my basics after 3 years of college, that's not okay. :( What do you guys think?

should I drop out of college since it's causing so much stress and I also have the opportunity to advance in a career without going to college?

My girlfriend left me last week so things have been pretty tough for me. She said she doesn't feel the same way about me. I have been getting over her romantically but has started feeling angry towards her because I feel like she never really cared about her. I feel like she was selfish and never really loved me but I know this is not the case. We are living in the same apartment in different rooms with three other people so we see each other a lot. Tonight I talked to her about how I have been feeling saying that I feel like she never cared about me but I know that is not the case. She got upset at me and accused me of just trying to make her feel bad. I have been trying to talk things through with her and get my feelings out on the table in a civil manner but she never wants to talk about it. I just want to move on and I feel that talking things through would be best as I want to be friends. I admit I probably made a bad choice in telling her how I feel now but on the same token I want to be honest with her. I am at a loss as to what to do. I care about her and want to be her friend but want to get any feelings out of the way. It is hard being pushed aside like this and I have been doing the best I can. Additionally, I am Catholic and going to Oregon State University. I have been trying to make friends and eventually find that right person but want any ideas on where to meet people. Thanks

GF broke up with me and I have been trying to talk things through to be her friend and she doesn't want to talk about it but wants to just be friends. Also, going to Oregon State and want ideas on where to meet people.

So here’s my story We have been together, for one year and half, and it’s been a long distance since the beginning. We have been in a on and off relationship. Which in my book, is pretty normal, since we are in LDR. But generally speaking, things have been good for the past year. And pretty much, this relationship was aiming for marriage, and we both agreed that we need to get married asap! Until 2 weeks ago. She met some guy(X) from a mutual friend, and last week, she told me, that she has a crush on (X) , I told her, that having a crush is normal. Pretty much I told myself, is just a temporarily crush, and with time, the feeling that she is having will fade away. Few days ago, she told me, she started talking to X in daily basis about random stuff and about the task that he needs help. Later on, she said to me, that she is sexually attracted to (X). At that point it was a red flag for me, I told her, you need to stop leading him on, and she said “ that I am having a hard time, controlling my emotions toward him” we talked, and she agreed that she will control herself. On Saturday, I was working for 15 hours, and I was mia most the day, I texted her she to make sure shes okay. Yesterday, she called me, and she said “I fucked up. I decided to go to his place, and we cuddled and kissed, but we did not had sex, cause I felt like shit after we kissed" Yet still, she says that she loves me, and she wants to marry me. She is telling me, to move to her city, just to see how things will be between us, and how we react about towards each other in daily basis. Part of me says forgive her, and see with time how things are. The other part of me is saying, break up, and move on with your life. If the relationship at this moment is like this, god knows what she will do in the future while we are married. Also, do you think is a good idea, if I personally talked to X and tell him to back off? I feel like this will backfire. What you guys think? So yeah, this is my story, mentally I am fine, I am just in a dull moment, dunno what to do. So reddit please help!

LDR GF has a crush on someone, Should i break up with her and move on with my life, or should just give myself time and see how things are?

I've had serious relationships in the past and would at least consider myself to not being a complete dumbass when it comes to them, but I've never done long distance before. I met this girl and we really hit it off, and we've seen each other a couple times since, and we talk a lot, of course. We really like each other and both know we don't want to hook up with other people, want to keep seeing each other, and all the other nice things that make you feel fuzzy inside and start you on the path to a relationship, in my experience. The hitch: she lives in Canada, and its about a 5 hour commute to see each other as neither of us own cars, and I live in the states. Granted, this is nothing compared to plenty of long distance relationships, but we won't be seeing each other with any regularity (anywhere from 1-3x a month, thankfully for a few days at a time though), and I've never been in a situation like this. I realize that this is hardly an optimal setting for starting a relationship and would normally say don't be dumb and cut your losses. I'm not doing that here because we have a way stronger connection than I've ever felt with anyone in my past, so I've decided that I want to do everything I can to make it work. But like I said, I've never done the long distance thing before. I was hoping that I could get some real advice from people who have been/are in long distance relationships. Google is great and all, but its not helping me quite as much as it normally does in this situation. Any advice, anecdotes, or even admonishments in regard to me being a dumb young male here would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a damn proud 'Murican but this Canadian is HIGH GRADE and I don't wanna fuck it up by being a dumbass. How do I long distance?

My dad to me, and why drinking was NEVER a problem with me in highschool/college. It was a hot sunday evening. I was about 7 at the time. My dad was on the deck sipping a scotch on the rocks reading his newspaper. Curious, I ask my dad what he's drinking and if I could have some. Without flinching he hands me the glass and says "A special soda. Go ahead, try a sip" I took a sip and that hard scotch BURNED. I quickly spat it out. He chuckled "It's not for everybody." From then on, every time my parents had a 'special soda' (be it wine, beer, or a hard drink) with dinner, they'd always offer me some politely and I'd always decline. By the time I hit my teenage years and some of my peers were sneaking off to try and score some beers and get blasted... I had NO urges. I knew that if I wanted beer, i could just ask my parents for it and they'd happily provide. I still didn't care for the taste of it, and thus couldn't imagine WHY one would want to down a whole case of it. Even in college I didn't bother getting wasted much even though it was now 100% legal for me. I had developed a taste for beer at this point, but even then it wasn't the sole focus for me. I'd rather blow that $50 on a new computer game than go out and get wasted for one evening. Once again, since booze wasn't anything special I felt no need to go out and get trashed even though I was no longer under my parents' watch.

My parents keept me from having any problems with alcohol by offering it to me and not making it a big deal when I was a child/teenager. I love them for this!

When I was about 18 I was working at a grocery store. So one night, near closing, I started going to all the registers and collecting the hand baskets that accumulate around them throughout the day. I ended up with a ton of baskets and, rather than cutting the load in half and taking two trips, set out with a huge pile of baskets that completely obscured my view. If you have any brains (I didn't) you can see where this is going - I plowed into this little old lady and sent her stumbling backwards into a display of apple pies. Everything. Stops. My manager runs over to see me surrounded by baskets and a lady on the floor covered in pie. My manager helps the lady up and sends a bag boy to go grab some paper towels while I panic and begin picking up the baskets while trying not to cry. The bag boy returns and tosses the towels to my manager but completely misses and smacks the lady across the head with the roll. Thankfully she was okay and very nice about the whole thing, I think we gave her a gift card to the store and whatever she was there to get that night for free.

I plow into a lady and knock her into an apple pie display, bag boy smacks her with roll of paper towels in attempt to help, she gets free food.

Just a quick story of why I ask, I'm currently seeing this girl, and let me tell you she is gorgeous. One time we talked about "what type of person do you see yourself being with?". This girl is obsessed with hockey. She always imagined herself marrying some hockey player, good looking, good body, etc, etc. That being said I'm a fairly skinny guy, decent looking at best, doesn't play hockey, and I can't help but think she see's these average hockey player dudes everyday and thinks "Damn, I wanted that..." And when I describe her she's like the perfect girl I want to marry one day. So I can't help but think she got screwed in this haha... Can anyone relate...?

Seeing a girl who I would consider perfect for me, but when she describes what her "dream-guy" is, it's not me at all. I feel bad... Edit: Sorry I meant like you got the good end of the deal and your spouse got that worse end.

I just need to type this up, because I don't think I'm ready to talk to any of my friends in real life without crying right now. My SO and I have been together for nearly 5 years. Since I was 17! (And had just broken up with my first boyfriend.) We are TOTALLY different people but that's part of what made our connection so rich. I have trouble even typing out why we made the decision to break up because, well, he's really an amazing person and I have never cared or loved someone as much as him!! He genuinely cares for everyone around him and takes on the weight of the world. I think that is what is so bitter sweet about this. Neither of us did anything wrong, and we love each other and admire each other very much-- but sometimes life doesn't work out perfectly. We are very different people, we have different goals in life, and different lifestyles. We've made a really beautiful happy little home, we've made mutual friends, taken care of each other. We have great sex. On paper it sounds like we should be with each other. And maybe we will again someday, but for now we're going to be friends. We have lived together for 3 years, and just signed a new lease. We've been partners our entire adult lives, and well, I'm a little scared and a little excited, and a little sad.

Ending things amicably with my SO of nearly 5 years. We live together, hope to remain friends. I'm feeling scared/relieved/sad/hopeful/confused. Any words of wisdom, advice, internet hugs, optimistic words appreciated!!!

Hi, So I ordered parts for my computer from multiple companies, and the specific piece I want to ask about is my CPU. I know that you're not supposed to charge some one until you ship the product, but how about mislabeling a package. My package was mislabeled despite me giving them the correct address, and at this point I'm concerned that they mislabeled the package on purpose so they could have extra time with the money they charged me after shipping it. They said they would send me a new piece as the prior piece was being shipped back, however this was on Friday and they still have not shipped it today on Monday. They also said they needed a credit check before the mislabel, and didn't notify me until I called them. This concerned me because 1 piece under 200$ shouldn't require a credit check right?

sketchy warehouse company has multiple problems, wondering if there is legal ramifications for charging me then mislabeling my shipment, taking way too long to reship it, etc.

I was 5 years old, had lived in Peru my whole life and I had never seen an ATM. I came to the U.S. and I was at the mall with my parents and my dad took me to the ATM to withdraw some cash. I asked him what he was doing and he told me it was a "The Lottery Machine" and explained that if he won the machine would give him the prize right then and there. When the bills started coming out of the ATM I went nuts and started screaming "We won!!!! We won!!!" at the top of my lungs. The whole frickin' mall gathered up around us and were like "WTF?" I bet he though it twice before trolling again me after that. -

As a 5 y/o my dad told me the ATM at the mall was a lotto machine. When the money stated coming out I went all "black person on extreme home makeover" on him.

Young professional here dating 24/F professional in the public sector. She is charming, has a big presence and is very articulate. In the presence of any kind of disagreement she basically completely shuts down. I'll ask her to articulate how she feels, and she will nod, and then not speak. That not speaking might last for hours, she may never address her feelings. How can I facilitate a space and pattern of behavior that helps her grow in her ability to express what she is thinking? Typically our disagreements aren't even combative, I think she is very sensitive to how her words are taken and often chooses to not say anything over saying something that could be even like... marginally unpleasant for someone else to hear. It's a big disconnect from her professional life where she is responsible for many people and even fires employees.

Big personality here, trying to learn if the quiet nature of my SO in a disagreement is a recipe for disaster, or if I could help her learn to express herself.

I'm white. What if i call my friend (also prolly white but could be any race) my niggah or if i re tell a story and am like so dis niggah mobs into the shop and high as balls and just asks for all the Doritos and tries to pay with weed. Will either of these offend you as the ambassador for all black people?

can I call people niggah and if so does this extend to just my immediate friends or can i call all people niggah including black people or you?

My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 ½ years now. In this time we made an awesome team. I stood by him while he went to school got his paramedic license, worked this field and then recently moved into the fire department to become a firefighter. Meanwhile I hmm and hawed about what I want to be when I grow up and to be truthfully I still am. These past two years, while he was making his career change our relationship became a bit rockier. However we still went out and bought a home together, have pets together and ran up the normal first time home buyer debt. We moved farther out of downtown to the suburb which was hard for me, I had no vehicle till recently and transit isn’t exactly the most reliable. I fell into a really bad funk and became a very negative person. I took a lot of this out on my boyfriend and in that action I drove him more and more to his friends to look for happiness, which in turn made me angrier and angrier. We came to a breaking point last summer, when we were camping a very disturbing situation happened where I thought he was cheating on me. I am still not 100% if it was him or not, but we argued and argued and he told me flat out he cannot trust someone who cannot trust him and his feelings for me were gone. We tried to work things out, however it seems, no dice. Last night he moved into the other bedroom of the house we own together. We still haven’t told everyone that we aren’t together and we won’t for the next little bit as I am uncomfortable telling everyone. We have a lot of mutual friends and groups and social activities together I don’t want to make anyone else feel as awkward as I do. We are living together until our debt is paid back and in public still calling each other b/f and g/f. I spent all night and today bawling my eyes out and I just don’t know how to make it through this situation. I don’t want to be alone but he has made it overtly clear we don’t work and he can’t be there for me anymore. Any advice to make this situation easier and more bearable until I can move would be the best help. Thanks everyone

rocky relationship. Bought a house, ran up some debt. He can’t trust someone who can’t trust him, moved to the other bedroom and no longer has feelings with me. Stuck here till our debt is paid off.

I'm gonna cut to the chase and simply tell my little story. When I was 15, I was incredibly energetic, easily distracted, physically and verbally abusive towards anyone, doing horribly at school and just a general fuck-up in the making. I didn't care for anything, and took immense risks without thinking about the consequences until after. I ended up going to a doctor after having a breakdown, wondering what the hell was wrong with me. After being referred to a paedeotrician, I was diagnosed with ADHD accompanied with 'borderline schizophrenic tendancies' on correlation to my anger and outbursts. I was prescribed Dexamphetimines to treat the symptoms of ADHD, and a couple other medications to help balance my sleep issues (Catapres and Endep for the curious) which worked incredibly well - I was no longer distracted easily, my grades jumped from (In US standards I guess, I'm Australian though) Cs and Ds to A+s and B+s, I was more social and easy going, considerate etc. The medication worked for me, and I took it until I was 19. At 19 I stopped taking my medication and moved to the desert for work. At the time, I felt I could battle all of the symptoms and it would be fine - it was, I started a job in health care and was doing great - met my now wife working there, saved enough money to comfortably move overseas etc. But after a year of being enveloped by this new lifestyle and surroundings, the symptoms started to emerge. After thinking about it now, it was because I had become bored with my situation and surroundings, and was constantly seeking mental stimulation. Fast forward to 2013 - I'm living in Europe, I've had an IT job here for a year and spent another year in a language school for immigrants. Things were ok at first, but after 6 months of the language course, the symptoms sprang up again and drove me to depression. I got my IT job in the beginning of '12 and everything stabalized again, until the past 2 months - It's literally killing my persona. I went to the doctor today to discuss everything about my situation, and what I thought might be the cause of the depression and inability to concentrate on school and work properly, and she has referred me to a psychiatrist to speak about reinstating my medication - she agrees that I am correct in assuming that willpower is not enough for an adult with ADHD to juggle work, school and a social life and is amazed that I had tried to deal with it for so long. I'm awaiting the appointment for reinstation of medication and cannot wait to have my healthy mindset back. I have to live with the fact that I need this medication to function properly, just as a child diabetic will need their insulin. Reddit, when do you think that willpower is not a valid option in comparison to taking medication for any given illness?

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, tried dealing with it without medication as a young adult, shit went sour and I've realized I should be medicated to function properly.

I have to disagree with this- especially if you are trying to run 16-5k. High rep is always for runners, in fact it's easy to get too bulky by doing high weight/strength exercises. Monday 3x10 bench press 3x12 shoulder press 3x12 triceps exercise (either skull crushers, pulldown etc) 3x10 flys (either machine or dumbbells) 3x10 horizontal shoulder raises 3x12 another triceps exercise (dips are really good) Wednesday 3x12 lat pulldown 3x 12 bicep curl Core exercise 3x12 low back (deadlift or good mornings) 3x12 shrugs (for traps) or Pullups Another core exercise If you can work out on Friday I reccomind doing all body weight stuff- ab circuit pushups, diamond pushups, chin-ups etc. Source: I'm a college runner (D3)

high rep lighter weight Monday chest shoulders triceps Wednesday back bicep core Friday- core and body weight exercises I'm on mobile now but if OP or anyone else wants more details I can link to videos or provide different variations of this plan

At some food truck event, I run into this really attractive and stylish woman; for me, she was intimidatingly sexy. I was taking pictures, so I snapped a few of her (to commemorate seeing her of course), and I struck up some conversation. She was a native to the area I was visiting so she was nice and recommended for me a few things to try. Later on, I saw her at another truck, and again we conversed. Afterwards, I got my food then concluded our conversations by telling her, "I just have to tell you that you are looking really nice today." She thanked me, and I was on my way. I spent the rest of the time at the event wondering whether or not I should even ask her for her number. She was lingering around the area for a while after enough for me to think she wanted to keep talking, but I never did walk back up to her. I kick myself for not just asking her for her number, and I have a whole slew of excuses for why I didn't. Anyway, now I'm just curious about this: If she is lingering around in my vicinity, is that some kind of hint that I should keep going? Is this like the sexy woman's passive invitation for me to keep talking to her? Am I reading too much into this, or is this some non-move that I am completely exacerbating? Please save me from my neuroses.

I didn't get a number from a hot girl because I was intimidated/paralyzed by my attraction to her, and now I'd like to know if there was a chance.
