Hey everyone,
I was wondering any of you would be able to give me some advice on my best avenue or where I would stand as I'd like to do this legit, currently:
I have a full time in the U.K I want to create an Etsy shop business with my friend, however my main goal is to move to Cyprus with that friend.
However I'm unsure how that would affect me tax wise, if I'm best setting it up in U.K to dissolve it when I go to move to Cyprus, how I best having us paid if I go through the dividends route, how my tax bracket would be affected etc
If anyone is able to give me advice or the like that would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe this is relevant, but I grew up in a disorganized home. I didn’t have much room to talk about my feelings and was made (intentionally or unintentionally) to feel like a burden. I started seeking professional help a year and a half ago and am now regularly seeing a psychiatrist for different, but relating reasons.
However, for as long as I can remember, I can’t manage to get attached to anyone. There are exceptions to this rule (eg. a best friend I’ve had since I was in kindergarten) but there haven’t been any exceptions in a while.
I’ve dated a few times and I’m, as it seems, quite desirable (as long as I keep masking, at least) but I never found myself attached to anyone, let alone in love. I’ve heard a couple of times that love is an action and not a feeling, so I got a boyfriend with this in mind, but that relationship didn’t last since the action started to feel like a chore. I only ever express interest in an obsessively curious way and the obsession dies down as soon as my curiosity is satiated.
I feel like an a-hole leading all these men on. Every time I think I might be capable of attachment; every time I’m left in disappointment and sadness. I made a list of traits I want in the perfect partner and told myself not to pursue anyone until he ticks all of the boxes. I found a guy who ticks all of the boxes I made and gave him a chance. For now, we’re casual, but I can tell he’s more than just attached to me and I’m still not attached to him at all. I like him. He’s someone I SHOULD get attached to and fall in love with. But I feel nothing, as usual.
He’s (understandably) losing patience since it’s been a few months and my eyes are wandering. I don’t know what’s making me so curious, I don’t know what I keep looking for. I’ve accepted I won’t have passion because I clearly care too little, but I can’t even have love? Attachment?
I feel broken and lost. All of my friends could walk out tomorrow and it wouldn’t faze me. It’s not that I don’t want to commit and don’t want to fall in love, but it seems I’m simply incapable of doing so. I listen to my friends’ heartbreak stories and love songs and wonder how it is that my body won’t allow me to feel even a smidge of caring. It’s lonely.
I’ve been considering bringing this up with my shrink, but I doubt there’s a pill on the market to fix heartlessness. Any advice?
TLDR: I’ve dated and even have an ex, but I’m physically uncapable of getting platonically or romantically attached to anyone, even if they’re exactly what I’m looking for–which ultimately ends in a break-up. I feel broken and lonely. Advice would be great.

There's a lot to unpack.
But my partner (m 35) and I (f 28) are in a relationship. And at the beginning of our relationship, my bf told his fantasy about threesomes and that's how we got into this lifestyle.
To be completely honest, i am heterosexual. I can kiss, caress girls but i feel i am more physically drawn to guys in general.
But as I am sexually curious, explorative, I've been leading the 'sex' for four threesomes; three foursomes. Even though all the girls (all identify as bi-curious but only were in hetero relationship) we have met said that they are interested in playing with girls, I've noticed they are very timid when they were with me. They didn't show that much interest in my body (vagina, boobs, lol). None of the girls gave me oral (not mandatory but still), while i fingered/licked, etc.
Whenever we start some kind of thing, i have always been the one to initiate - kiss/fingecaress the girl, give bj to guy. Now, I am at the point of not really enjoying the sex because ppl are only receiving, fulfilling their fantasy (lesbianism; getting bj from two girls) and I am just sharing my bf/sexual pleasure with other girl.
When I said that I am not enjoying -seomes anymore, my bf said that I should try - try looking for girls who are more bisexual and be clear on the boundary that everyone should receive&give.
But at this point, i am just not interested anymore :( Whenever i think about -somes, it's just me trying to set the mood for the group; it's me giving the girl/another guy lots of licking.

I think about you a lot. Sometimes my mind wanders to you while I try to get work done.
Did you sleep well last night?
Have you eaten yet?
It’s cold today, I hope you have a sweater to keep you warm.
I can’t help but think of you and how you’re doing.
But I wonder…
When you see things during your days, the ones that I see that instantly make me think of you, do you also think of me?
Do I ever cross your mind as more than a friend?
The thought of it gives me butterflies, but also makes me nervous. If friends are what we’re meant to be, then I’ll cherish this friendship for as long as you’ll let me.
You make me so happy. I hope I make you happy too.

So, little back story, I (27F) deal with chronic knee and sciatica problems, mostly stemming from my time in the army. It causes me a great deal of pain. The doctors I go to won't give me anything stronger than Tylenol and cortisone shot only gave me a few days relief.
I have a highly physical job. Most of the time, I can work through the pain, though I moan, groan, and sometimes favor the side that hurts. This has led to people that work around me telling my supervisor, who then basically kicks me out of work because I "can't go around people like I do."
I'm trying to apply for short term disability, since I'm leaving in a short time, to help me financially, but they require a certain amount of days off of work due to the pain.
So, in short, I either go through the day in pain and risk getting sent home and losing hours and money. Or, I stay home, lose time and money, and possibly get disability. Either way, it sucks.

Hello!
I come back with another installment of "am I crazy or nah?".
So the drama surrounds my mother and father (by association).
I have been reluctant to call them recently, specially after I had to tell them I am taking the ADHD test and my mother's reaction was maybe hurtful ("why, do you have problems AT WORK?" "maybe you're just tired" "maybe it's burnout", interrogation and having to put her anxiety and feelings to rest).
After that call (I was at work), she carried on spammin me with messages (she barely writes to me normally, I have to send her some pic/food pic to let her know I am alive every couple of days or there will be drama as to why am I not giving a life sign, they are just worried for me!), tried to get me to call her after work, then the next day in the afternoon, as I was leaving work she spammed more messages and tried to call me to which I haven't responded cause I didn't see it, but I did tell her I am home when I got home and she started even more questions. To which I didn't respond cause I was tired and didn't feel like being interrogated about the ADHD stuff or even talk to anyone tbh. She did delete one of the messages before the next morning.
I responded the next day, maybe around 11 AM as I woke up late, was a day off. Anyways, I did find it suspish she didn't say anything the whole day and day just quietly liked some posts of mine but nothing else (was my anniversary with my other half so we spent the day together).
Then the next day, weekend, I noticed she has unfriended me from Facebook! I would maybe think it's nothing, an accident but she has been unsending messages if I didn't respond for a few hours.
I sent the friend request and she accepted hours later without saying anything. Didn't speak to her for a week from that.
Fast forward a week and she sent me a message reading "are you alive? haven't heard from in ages", I felt it was dripping with sarcasm (saw the preview on the home screen) but I decided to respond later as it triggered anxiety and I had to make dinner as well and besides, it wasn't an emergency to need to respond instantaneously. 20 min later, she deleted the message. I asked her next morning why she did that and she said "wrong recipient".
This would be the 3rd time she deletes a message becuase i did not respond to her to her "soon" enough - before the whole ADHD test saga she sent a message, I didn't respond cause life and stuff, and she deleted it. I saw something being deleted as the app shows that something was deleted but doesn't say what and when I asked why she did that she said "well, you didn't read it anyway"...
My dad has also not spammed me with reels for a week, roundabout when she unfriended me (he tends to send me 9-10 reels on IG in a go, almost daily).
So now the question - am I crazy in thinking she's being passive aggressive and trying to get my attention? It feels like she is trying to make me react so she can have a go at me and make me feel like shit because they are "just worried about me" which is the line I have been fed all my life when I didn't call them/mesaged them for a fw days or when I was late 5 minutes or when she asked for my boss number if I ever forgot to tell them I got to work (or you know, came to work into a fire and didn't have time)?
​
Thank you in advance to anyone who stuck with me to this point!

Due to the Schedule One classification of cannabis, alongside Heroin and methamphetamine in the United States based on Reccomendations of the Food and Drug Administration and set in place by the Drug Enforcement Administration as Law so anybody with a Medicinal Cannabis Card is foregoing their Second Ammendment Right to bear arms.
States are not really addressing this catch 22 of sorts and it's honestly flying under the noses of most people even those who have medicinal cannabis cards. The issue isn't just the purchasing of a fire arm, but the possession there if. A restriction until Medicinal Cannabis Decriminalization that was only applied to "criminals", not allowing them to use or posess a fire arm. What about peoplenwho already have a huge collection, are they facing legal issues due to their need for a plant based medication treatment.
A Plant based medicine that has been used by the same FDA to produce two pharmaceutical drugs based on the active "non mwdicinally therapeutic" compounds in cannabis, Cannabidiol and Tetrahydrocannabinol, aka CBD & THC. the later was used in synthetic form, a form of man made cannabinoids that was actually banned as "spice" in the early 2000s. This turned what was very reminiscent of Dronibinol compound into a substance that's users resemble a meth tweak.
I have a theory about substances becoming more than they were once made illicit as a product of the illicit market. That the criminalization of a societally desired substance only causes that substance to become extreme in a way that is an inevitability; because profit and turnover becomes more important than anything else on an unregulated illicit market moreso than the legal markets. This may seem counterintuitive to business minded people, but those who have a knowledge of the illicit market personally will understand this concept. DRONIBINOL was created and the excuse from the government was "well this is scientifically isolated compounds while they're using that hippy shit, it isn't the same"
In 2008 the Stanley Brothers developed the first medicinally viable CBD dominant cannabis and used it to Proove the therapeutic effect of Charolettes Web on specifically childhood epileptic Seizures. The FDA rode the coat tails of this finding to production of EPIDIOLEX in 2017. The largest study done to date in the United States was conducted by the FDA for this drugs creation, a study of 200 people. Longitudinal studies of users of cannabis weren't even allowed for Dr Lyle Cracker and colleges by the FDA, not until 2020 four years after their own therapeutic study proving therapeutic uses of cannabis,did they allow study and give up a 20 year lawsuit that began in 1999 with Dr Lyle Crackers desire to study the cannabis on the market.
To cover their own behinds, the FDA had contractors at the University of Mississippi grow cannabis for "research purposes". The problem was that the canabisnwas intentionally sub par and super low quality low potency low grade cannabis comparable to Mexican brick Pack of the nineties. It was such poor quality cannabis researchers were unable to discern a placebo effect from the control, in other words people couldn't tell if they were high or not let alone discerning mild therapeutic indicators.
The utter senslesnessnofnfederal legislation is one thing to discuss, but the fact these states are agreeing that They will take away second ammendment rights of citizens, on the same hand disagreeing with the FDA that this IS a medicnally viable substance. It's a literal contradiction within itself. Yey it's brushed aside everytimeits brought up as a scoff regarding separation of state and federal legislation. That too makes little sense as states CAN change the wording to make this forgoing of the second ammendment null. Montana is an example of this, ironically it is conservative states who fought the legalization and decriminalization who are the friends of this cannabis legislative battle.

This is simply perpetuation of the mindset that people were convinced of In D.A.R.E. I. Middle school, the idea that Marijuana is comparable to heroin and methamphetamine. The Excuse that These are all due the non therapeutic viability of cannabis and it's classification as a schedule one substance is not valid IMo, given that we know that ecstasy and LSD as well as Psylocybin Mushrooms have been studied more than cannabis, all of these are ALSO SCHEDULE ONE SUBSTANCES. 

JOIN ME as I explore the legislation in various states and explore the meat and potatoes behind all of this. The First video is up on my YouTube channel now, linked above. Please let me know what you think about the video good or bad, preferably commenting on the video. Also check out my Means of understanding cannabis products before leaving the dispensary, which I have titled Evolutionarily Adaptive Terpological Assignement and Discernment.

I don't think so, have a good day Sir! Would be my response if somebody asked me to get (sell) the shares I have at the company CS (since there is only one left I don't think I have to clarify).
I just keep my shares where I consider them safe for me personally (little hint it is a australian company) and everything else is just funny.
It is like I paid for an experience and believe me the last two years were a wonderful experience! If I go to Legoland, I don't tell them to give me my money back after my visit right? The money is gone, but if I would let's say get an present at the end like money, an nft or anything in-between (let's call it a dividend for fun and giggles) I wouldn't say no hahah.
Just my humble view. Thanks!
This is as stated a personal opinion and not an advice for anything.

Hi! My client yesterday got in some trouble at the dinner table. He got really upset and embarrassed over his mom's reaction to it. Later, his mom told me he was crying and said he "hates having autism" and it broke my heart. I do NOT want him to hate having autism. He actually is AuDHD- he has ADHD too. We've talked about it, but I only have ADHD, not autism so...
I'm asking you lovely autistics if you would like to write an uplifting, kind message or letter to him. Short, long, I don't care! Just to tell him about how you embrace your autism and anything else... I'd like to print out and give him a collection of anonymous messages to him from other autistics so he doesn't feel so alone. He LOVES hearing about other autistics ❤️ if anybody wants to volunteer, it'd mean the world. He is 11 years old. I think he would love it. Thank you!! 💜 💜 💜 💜

Me (20F) and my boyfriend (24M) have been together for a year now. We’ve had our ups and downs, we fight a lot. We have both like a “neurotic personality” which leads to irritations and arguments very often.
With neurotic I mean like; we both get mad, irritated and insecure easy. For what you read now, you can think like we are really not compatible. I really love my boyfriend and i’ve been in relationships before and this is by far the best one, but sometimes I’m wondering if we are the perfect match. I Dont want to break up, we tried to make plans like “next time we are going to act like this, etc”. But it did not help for now.
I have an internship in a different city for 3,5 days a week, I sleep here. I’m enjoying my time here and the rest of the week I spent my time with him, friends and family. But when I’m here we fight like a lott, through texts… he is a little insecure about me being here with new people and he wants me to tell like everything and everyone I speak to. This weekend I talked about a male intern to my sister (my boyfriend was in the same room) but I never mentioned this name to my boyfriend before. Now a few days later, when I’m away from him, he is like “who was that, you Dont tell me everything, you lie to me” stuff like that. (First of all, I feel like he had to cumminicate with me in real life).
I’m like how am I a liar? Do I have to place like a camera on my head??? I only talked with this male intern for like 5 minutes about a person back home we both know (thats why I told my sister). When he talks to a woman at a party or in a store, and he forgets to tell me, I wouldn’t be mad at all.
But he is like really pissed of now and doesnt want to speak to me while I’m here (I’m back in 2 days), and I Dont know what to do. He thinks I’m a lair and that I don’t tell him certain things on purpose. But I just Dont feel like I have to tell every single not important detail?
What should I do because I Dont want to break up, just want to fix my relationship…
TLDR; my boyfriend (20F, 24M) and i have toxic fights sometimes. I Dont want to lose him, what can we do?

Hey, I'm 20, and I live in North Carolina (est). I have been feeling super lonely and confused lately, and I'm hoping to find like minded friends whoever are understanding and care about deep conversations. I've lived a life experience that makes it kinda difficult to fit in with my peers, so it is sometimes hard for me to relate to some things, but I've always had an interest for deep conversations. If you're just looking for a quick chat, please don't messge me, because I want actual friends, and people i can support, not just people who will ghost when they get bored lol. I try to be authentic, and honest up front, because I feel like bonds without trust and understanding are not worth it. I want to make friends who understand me, and I them, and we always support each other. I'm pretty shy and introverted, and I also have severe social anxiety, so it may take sometime for me to be fully expressive and talk a lot around new people, but as I get to know you more, I become much more comfortable and stuff.
My hobbies include drawing, baking, occasionally playing ps4, siting outside in my backyard around nature, and drinking tea. I've recently been trying to get back into reading books as well, and I've been rewatching one of my favorite childhood shows "Dragon Ball Z". I also recently got a telescope for my birthday, so I like to sit out side, and watch the stars at night, as I found them to be very beautiful. All that I really want In my life is to be a good person, and to help people. So much craziness going on in the world rn, and if I could be a part of postive change in any way, I'd like to do that. I try my best to be kind and caring, so you can feel free to vent about anything, no matter what it is, I won't judge you. I want to help you if I can, and always be your safe space and listen.
I made this post long, because I really want to express who I am, and I just can't do that with only two sentences. I hope to find like minded people people who are understanding, and people who can relate and vent to me about their day. Thank you for giving me your time if you've read all the way through, I hope that we can become great friends. If you're older than 23, or younger than 18, please don't reach out because I just feel more comfortable with people in my age range, and because I feel I can relate to people like that a bit better. I am home-schooled, so it would be really nice to find others who are or have been as well. I am by no means a perfect person, and of course I have a lot of struggles in my life, but I just wish more than anything else, to make the world a better place before I die, because no matter what difference of opinions we have, difference of life style, beliefs, etc, we're all humans, a human family, and we need each other, whether we want to admit it or not. Lastly, I hope you are having a good day, if not, I'm sure it'll get better soon.

Does anyone else freak out and feel guilty when checking out a man besides your boyfriend? Or ever feel like you want other men to be attracted to you or find you attractive? It makes me feel gross and like I’m cheating or don’t love my bf.

Okay so prepare cuz this is going to be a little long. Back when I started watching Hetalia (I think it was around 2016) that was also the time I began listening to Jaymes Young (for those who don't know him, you might've heard his song Infinity on TikTok like a year ago or so) and so I associated some of his songs to some (most) of my Hetalia ships from back then. And here is the list. Enjoy the angst if you decide to listen!
->GerIta: Dark Star ->Chibi Italy x HRE: Fragments (not in the past but mostly Italy reminiscing their past together) ->DenNor: Northern Lights (also my favourite song of all times) ->SuFin: Don't you know ->RusAme: Moondust ->RoChu: Come back for me ->PruAus: Feel something and Naked (not as angsty as you'd expect and yes, 2 songs, bc I couldn't decide) ->PruHunAus: Two people ->HunAus: We won't (this song is ft Phoebe Ryan so it's like a direct conversation between the 2) ->PruHun: Parachute ->FrUk: Habits of my heart, Tied Down and Black magic (probably the only ship that doesn't have angsty songs tide to it, and yeah 3 songs bc I was a big FrUk shipper and couldn't decide) ->UsUk: What should I do (yeah I used to ship this and FrUk at the same time, don't come at me) ->SpaMano: Two more minutes (I lied, this one doesn't have an angsty song either) ->AmeriPan: Sugar Burn (it's the song that made me transition from shipping them to broshipping them bc it's a break up song and it made me realise things) ->GerPrus: One last time (don't ask about this one particular ship; am I still shipping it? who knows, Game of Thrones fucked me up; aside from that, this is a rlly good and angsty song and it could just be Prussia singing to someone before he dies) ->BelgiumxHungary: Stoned on you (idk if this ship ever had a ship name cuz I never found it anywehere, but I used to ship them rlly hard, still ship them, but not as hard, it's just there, existing).
This is it for my old and some still current ships.
As for my new ship, I found a song for them as well:
->CzechxSlovakia: Infinity (bc it's a very beautiful love song and I am more than sure they still love each other deeply).
So let me know what you think if you decide to give the songs a listen (or if you already listened to them). I take creative criticism pretty well ig. Have a great day!

Hey Everyone, I am a college athlete who just recently started running, I am training for a marathon in May and up to this point have been doing all of my running in the Adidas Supernova. My mom said they are not good and I need new shoes.
I went over to ASICS and picked up the Magic Speed for a steal at only $45, but they seem to be about a size too big and after my first run in them they give me a weird sensation under the ball of my foot, I think the size is just too big.
For reference I am 6’8 220 pounds, I have a high arch, and I run all my km at a leisurely pace - around 5:45-6:15 per on depending on the terrain and day. I am looking for a shoe for under $120 Canadian, and something that has enough cushion to accommodate my size and pace. I honestly prefer slightly firmer cushion, that doesn’t feel like my foot is sinking into it. I have looked at the Saucony Triumph 19, ASICS Magic Speed (in my size), ASICS Glideride 3 and the Nike Winflo 9
I read the menu and I saw something regarding racing shoes for marathons, but I’m not necessarily looking for something fast or extremely aggressive, I’m coming from the adidas supernova which has almost no cushioning. Thank you for your help

I have struggled with depression for as long as I can remember. Even when I was young, I wasn’t really happy. Anyway, I was diagnosed in my early twenties. I have learned how to live with depression, how to alleviate it etc. I haven’t really been to therapy a lot, for several reasons. Lately, I don’t have the energy for most things. I can barely make it through the day. I have deadlines and things to do and I really really want to get out of this vicious cycle and get better. But every now and then, I completely lose hope. I don’t really want to die, because despite everything I maintain my optimism that things can and will change. But in the meantime… how am I supposed to function to get there? Change only happens with actions. I don’t have the energy. I’ve lost all motivation.
My main problem these days is: what’s the point? I see what’s going on in the world and everything is going to shit. People are fake as fuck. The only things that matter to society are extremely superficial. I don’t understand how people function in this society.
It’s probably also helpful to mention that my home life is an epic disaster. I had to move in with my parents because I don’t work currently (thank you depression) and for the past year and a half, they have been in a pre-separation mode that they won’t conclude. I think that both of them are narcissists who ultimately only care about themselves. My mom holds me responsible for her marriage and she has played the victim her whole life. My dad is a narcissistic liar who won’t deal with the truth. My siblings are pretty toxic and I am the one that they all depend on for emotional support. The thing, no one is really there for me.
Anyway. This was a rant I needed to let out because I don’t really have anyone to vent to. I don’t want to burden my boyfriend with my depression, he doesn’t deal well with it. I don’t want to tell my friend about this because they have their own problems and we barely ever get to talk (they all live abroad). I rarely meet people who understand me.
Can anyone relate to my story?

three weeks ago my gf (she's trans and I'm cis) of two years chose to break up with me after arguing and beefing over dumb stuff and I feel like it was for another reason. I was never the perfect bf but I always treated her the best possible way I could I never insulted her EVER even tho she never had issues with calling me horrible names when we had beef, were respectfully, always told everyone that they should use her name etc to give her the last possible drop of gender euphoria and what not to make her the happiest she could be., I was emotionally 100% with her, I was "homeless" for a day and could possible have gone longer than that because I had beef with my parents over her and I genuinly gave her all of my energy, love and time the last two years. When I met her she was a shy and "locked into herself" person and I helped her open up so much to a point that I didn't get valued at the end in my mind.
she has always been a sort of cold since she has gone through 4 relationships atp and this was my first and she was 3 years older than me. We knew each other for 2 years and we also wanted to meet eachother. we only lived like 3 hours away from each other but then beef occured and the main reason was that I had semi "contact" with a toxic rtard "friend" whom I share a lot of good mutual friends with who insulted her in a game lobby where we played together 2 years ago (he was 17 at the time) I know it isn't right and I called him out on it telling him he is all kinds of insults and a SOB but she expected me to completly cut that friend group off and even dox that guy. this was never a main issue until now where she had played the last four weeks with some other guys only because we had beef and what I think was the case is the fact that after pushing her for 2 years she didn't need my support and "build up" anymore so she had it easy calling me a degen, inhuman and telling me that she hates me before breaking up. I was in a last groupcall with her and those people crying and balling my eyes out wishing her the best at the end only for her to stay cold as shit and not have a single shift in her voice. I ignored the fact that she fell in love with someone else during our relationship and that I took her back but she couldn't do the same for me when I hung with my original friends and that guy was around while doing that too. she vaguely knew that if I were in a gc with my other friends that he would be around but she called me a liar.
I came together with her a month or two after her biggest ex broke up with her so after those two years I feel like she's just been mostly in for the support and affection. anything she did made me happy and she even told me that I was the person in ages to send me a selfie since she hasn't done that in her last relationship (she didn't tell any online ex that she was trans before me) I've got a feeling that even tho the breakup somehow had to happen was a way of her using the chance to bolt since she found someone else now. I shouldn't have come together with her knowing that I'm probably just a rebound thing even tho I still somehow believe that she loved me too genuinly but the way she insulted me and did things throughout the relationship have me wondering how.
I guess she didn't need my love, energy and support anymore and just didn't want to deal with our bs anymore. We always had beef for the dumbest reasons too mostly being things that don't matter really. It was mostly beefs like "wtf you spoiled me about this series unwillingly now I'm going to block you for a week. I still cry looking back at the person she was 2 to 1 year ago and looking at her now. She just turned so toxic but some part in me still misses her. I would've done everything for this girl and she just shattered my soul like that into trillions of pieces. I was writing emails for her therapy doc who was helping with the transition and even offered to call for her and soon she's going to start with actual sessions. I even told her that I will financially support her even tho she made enough money herself.
I just hope that one day she will realize that dropping your boyfriend of two years who did everything for you, loved you to the point where he had to cry because he called you "bro" accidentaly and she got sad over it wasn't the smartest idea.
I did everything but in the end its never appreciated enough and I guess she will never know what impact I had on her and I hope she will come to that realization. I'm currently in her country on "vacation" to finish this chapter of my first relationship and I had to cry knowing that I wanted to come to this country for her only.
I just want to smoke my head clear from her and forget everything. Seeing her online with her possible new "boyfriend" eats me up and I just need to move on since this is a huge burden on my soul. I never wanted anything from her but I never even got a "thanks for everything/anything at all" I did everything I did out of love but seeing these levels of disrespect just makes me feel like I shouldn't have put her first over myself.

My hobbies include drawing, baking, occasionally playing ps4, siting outside in my backyard around nature, and drinking tea. I've recently been trying to get back into reading books as well, and I've been rewatching one of my favorite childhood shows "Dragon Ball Z". I also recently got a telescope for my birthday, so I like to sit out side, and watch the stars at night, as I found them to be very beautiful. All that I really want In my life is to be a good person, and to help people. So much craziness going on in the world rn, and if I could be a part of postive change in any way, I'd like to do that. I try my best to be kind and caring, so you can feel free to vent about anything, no matter what it is, I won't judge you. I want to help you if I can, and always be your safe space and listen.
I made this post long, because I really want to express who I am, and I just can't do that with only two sentences. I hope to find like minded people people who are understanding, and people who can relate and vent to me about their day. Thank you for giving me your time if you've read all the way through, I hope that we can become great friends. If you're older than 23, or younger than 18, please don't reach out because I just feel more comfortable with people in my age range, and because I feel I can relate to people like that a bit better. I am home-schooled, so it would be really nice to find others who are or have been as well. I am by no means a perfect person, and of course I have a lot of struggles in my life, but I just wish more than anything else, to make the world a better place before I die, because no matter what difference of opinions we have, difference of life style, beliefs, etc, we're all humans, a human family, and we need each other, whether we want to admit it or not. Lastly, I hope you are having a good day, if not, I'm sure it'll get better soon.

I guess this could be considered more of a relationship question but:
I (24F) am from the US and live in northern Germany. I met my boyfriend (27M) after I moved here, we’ve been together for almost three years, and we’re probably going to move in together this fall when I get booted from my student apartment.
If our relationship doesn’t work out (I’m sure we’ll be fine but it would be stupid to ignore the risk), I’m going to be fucked because I have no family here, no friends who would let me bum on their couch, and our city is in a major housing crisis so, even though I could afford to live on my own, it would still take months to find an apartment. My boyfriend lives in a rent controlled apartment but one of the strings attached it that a) you can’t add people to the main lease and b) everyone on the main lease has to live in the apartment. In other words, the only way for me to stay in the apartment without him would be to commit fraud (which, like, people do but I’d rather not commit fraud in a foreign country). In theory, we could get our own apartment where we’re both on the main lease however our rent would literally triple because of how cheap the rent controlled apartment is.
Any ideas on how to protect myself if we do split up? I’ve also never lived with a romantic partner before, so this is generally unchartered territory for me.

I had been having doubts about the relationship for a few weeks, i didn’t want to break up with him because i didn’t want to hurt him. When i finally broke up with him i didn’t feel sorry for him at all. He lost a shit ton of respect when i found out he had been keeping things from me…hes not at all who i thought he was.
I only cried right after i got off the phone with his mom, who he asked to convince me to stay with him. I just couldn’t believe he would keep crucial information about him from me. I feel betrayed. He’s still sending me messages about how much he misses me, those messages would have crushed me a few days ago but i feel nothing, i just don’t feel sad about it.
Maybe its because i haven’t blocked him anywhere, we just haven’t messaged each other since yesterday. Maybe its because i know ill have to contact him again to ask for my stuff back. I don’t know
