My definition of poor is probably pretty extreme. It's having a genuine chance of dying due to lack of food, water, clothing, shelter.

If I don't think there's a chance of me dying, and I'm not in a state of physically suffering due to lack of resources, then I don't feel that poor. So, I could be happy in a tent, slum, or dirt floor hut if I had enough resources to not suffer.

So, what does poor mean to you? What would make you feel poor?

What do y'all think are the best things about having a bestfriend that's the opposite of your gender? like the pros and cons (specifically).

Like it is no longer a home just a empty building?

My aunt passed and there is a cold empty feeling inside even though all her stuff and memories are there.

Hi guys!

28 year old f who just got engaged to a lovely 27 yr old m. Just wonder if any one could give me a third opinion.

my fiancés father is a pastor and does marriage counseling for a lot of couples at our church and outside of our church. His dad and mom counsel the couples together. They’ve brought up that they could counsel us as well but we are honestly unsure if they should.

His parents are very cool and I have no issues with them, it’s just a matter of privacy I’m worried about and don’t know if his parents should know all the ins and outs of our relationship.

My mom recently asked who would do the counseling, and she asked would his parents do it. I told her we’ve been trying to figure that out but I knew when she asked me that she wanted to comment further but hesitated.

Any advice on this? It would be super helpful.

Thanks!

If you don't live in the U. S. then just go with what's closest to what your country has 😁

How do you feel about your level of education?

Do you want to pursue more education?

My wishes always include good wishes for my family.

Would you say that life was easier for you as a child or an adult?

I pick adult. I was counting down the days to adulthood as a kid, and life has been much better and easier with me in charge of it. I get to act like a kid and enjoy it if I want as well as all the perks of adulthood.

I’m trying to think of a neutral example but it’s difficult and I don’t want the example itself to bias people.

My concern is the post will devolve into conflict- resolution for the example and stray away from the objective which is _how to detect when people are feigning confusion_.

So I do not think I’m going to provide an example. I may add one later if one comes to mind that I think may be useful. If anyone wants to create hypothetical to convey the problem that is welcome 🤗

I WOULD put this in a ‘psychology’ section IF we had one but we do not so I am putting it in Society & Politics bc

1) communicational conundrums are at the core social issues that do not apply to one specific gender.

2) while not primarily a political question, feigning confusion can absolutely apply in political situations, esp considering politics in the current climate is 99% gas lighting.

But all in all I’d prefer if we had a psychology section. 👍🏼

I’ve been living with my fiancé and his grandma for about 7 months now. Lately she has been getting even sicker (she’s on oxygen 24/7) so that also contributes to her having some breathing issues as well. It’s been a few days since she’s been back home from the hospital since her last visit not too long ago. Everything has been turned upside down!

No drama but everything is about her. I work full time M-F get home at 6pm so majority of my time is there since he doesn’t work but get $ monthly. She was already dependent on him but now it’s worse! He has to feed her, and walk her to the bathroom, clean up after her and clean the house all the time.

NYE was the first time in days we’ve spent more than 1 hr together.. IN THE SAME DAMN HOUSE!!! I’ve been asking him for months for dates, more than 2hrs of quality time, to get away from the house since his grandma is home ALLL the time!! We have no privacy and no peace and quiet at all cause he’s always chasing after her. Anytime we leave the house together it’s pretty much for her benefit not for a good time.

I don’t want to sound selfish but I’ve been helping him before her health declined but it makes me not want to help since there hasn’t been any balance in our relationship. It’s all about her and did I forget to add we’ve only slept in the same bed 5 times the whole 7 months I’ve been here.
I explain to him I want things to change that I want to go out and do things but I get an okay and nothing changes.

We had plans to spend the night at a hotel for NYE but had to cancel cause she need him on the hour by the hour 🙄. Our sex is always good but I’m checked out because if you can find time to have sex with me you can set aside more than an hour of your time!

We had a pregnancy scare but I’m thankful I’m not pregnant because I’d honestly leave this house. Myself nor my baby will sit there and be on the back burner. Not for no no one!!

!!! please no judgement!!

It’s not the first time he has gone away with his family around NYE and I understand that there might not be much left of the holidays of just them as a family. We have pre celebrated new years together before he went away but I can’t help but get a bit sad/annoyed that he’s not here for new years. He keeps telling me how much fun he’s having and I’m happy he’s having fun but apart of me just gets annoyed and I’m not sure if its normal to feel this way or I’m overreacting.

We have been together for a few years now.
