ADVICE NEEDED: My girlfriend refusing to work for 30 days, should I be upset? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77347779 United States 03/24/2020 12:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Get real. There are 100 million other Americans in the same boat. TPTB are not going to evict all of you and take all of your cars, they're most likely going to issue a moratorium on mortgages/rent/etc and reimburse the landlords/banks. Don't do stupid shit (like working dangerous jobs during a fucking bioweapon pandemic). And don't do stupid shit for stupid reasons (like idiotically claiming you'll lose your house and car if you or your girlfriend don't work right now). Both of your asses should be planted at home. |

This is a decision that may ultimately lead to our financial demise. I'm afraid I'm going to lose the house our cars. Quoting: SoberLife I've attempted to speak with her about this on a few occasions, she instantly breaks out crying and it makes a rational conversation impossible. She claims she doesn't want to spread covid to people and be the reason a person dies. How should I react to this? Am I being unsympathetic? Honestly I have no idea what to do right now. I've got less than $1k in the bank. Losing her contribution will destroy us. Are you working? |

She's already told me she's not going to work for at least 3 more weeks. The reasoning is she doesn't want to become a carrier and then a spreader of the virus. She should quit for 3 weeks, and go back then. |

If she gets infected, so do you! Finally, why the FUCK did you bring this conversation HERE of all places? Have you no real friends? No one you can talk to?

I've got less than $1k in the bank. Losing her contribution will destroy us. It's not just that you're unsympathetic, it's that you're a complete dipshit. Seriously, OP, you're a fucking idiot. Your girlfriend needs to find a smarter man to hitch her wagon to. If you can't understand the logic of staying home right now, and how that reasoning completely and totally trumps your counterargument, then you're the problem, not her. Thanks for the advise WHITE KNIGHT.... should he wipe her asshole too until she resents him?.. OP.... Put your foot down and make a decision or she will not respect you, no matter her REACTIONS. Let her stay home if she doesn't feel safe. Do not be wishy-washy. Figure out what YOU want as a man and do it. Respect her option of course because you love her but don't wipe her ass. It's like a man who constantly tries to be too nice, women resent you and lose attraction in the long run. I don't know her personality but this is a general rule of thumb. Reactions are opposite with women. This is why you don't listen to women's advice. I know at this time it's not all about attraction but being safe although this does comes into play. If you need to, and you can, take out a small loan of like 2k if that will suffice but no more than you can handle until she can work later or what you can pay monthly. This will help to pay it back when she can work. We will get through this.. don't play into the doom. Let her know that getting rid of non-essentials will need to happen. If she truly cares for you and her own health, she will agree. But do it anyway. Let her know you are there for her. Remember, as you stated, she starts crying. So don't get pissed, lay things out and tell her to look at you and listen and reassure her. If she starts arguing too much tell her to you will talk to her when she is calm. Coerce her and keep it light hearted so she is comfortable. You aren't being "unsympathetic".. this is not the goal anyway. It's about logic and reason.. Women function on an emotional level and explaining logic at times does not work. So don't try to explain everything too much. Remember.. do whatever the fuck you can as a man. You are smart and you can figure out a way. Last Edited by OptimusPrimeX on 03/24/2020 12:23 AM |

Our universities are closed and I asked my daughters to stay home for their own safety until things blow over. My wife has only left the house twice in the last two weeks because I told her the same thing. I guess it's a matter of priorities, there's nothing we have that's more important to me than they are. If I had a dollar for every time I got suspicious... I'd wonder who was paying me, and why? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76538212 United States 03/24/2020 12:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No fricken way I'd give massages during this outbreak. She's smart ditching it until or if this crap blows over. Be thankful you have a woman with some common sense. I hear Amazon is hiring phone customer service. She needs a work at home job for awhile. Lot's of people are hurting, in most states you can get behind on an auto payment 60-90 days before they repo it. You could always stash her car somewhere until you could make up the payments. There's going to be thousands of people behind on cars and mortgages so I would guess banks might give some kind of lifeline so they don't have to repo thousands of cars. But, I'd just be safe and take it to a friend that can garage it, maybe out of city limits just to be safe. Lots of cars have hidden trackers so be sure to put it inside a locked garage or inside a backyard under a tarp and padlock the gates. |

A massage therapist at a chiropractor doesn't use their hands to massage dudes. They're mostly massaging females, and its NOT with their hands. They use machines to "massage". Or at least back in the day when my mom dragged me to her chiropractor's office. There's no hand massage, it's not a strip club! Its all completely sterile. |

My fiancé is considered “essential” so he’s still working, doing all the grocery runs, etc. Poor man is doing it all because of my fear. And, I gotta say, I love him more now than I did before this because, even if he thinks I’m crazy, he’s doing what I need to feel safe...to me that’s loving and selfless...

User ID: 78450659 United States 03/24/2020 01:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, I didn't read all the responses so, my apologies, if this is a repeat. I believe times like this are times we have to step back and reflect on what is really important in life. I understand you are concerned about the financial hit, BUT, with a bit of creativity, you and your gf could find alternatives that work for both of you. For examples... * Can she talk to the doctor about having online interaction with her clients to teach them how to care for themselves at home? * Does she have any other skills that can make telecommuting possible? (ie medical bookkeeping, tutoring, etc.). * Maybe she could talk to the supervising doctor about cleaning the office after hours - no direct exposure to others, but some money coming in. * Do you two have any items that can be sold to bring in some cash so the hole isn't as deep? * What type of work do you do and can any of these ideas work for your skill set? Get creative and think outside the box. All the best to you. Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. -- Abraham Lincoln The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. -- Albert Camus |
