I got married recently and we've been talking about moving to a bigger home and then trying for a baby. I made it really clear to my husband before we got married that I was 99% sure I wanted to be OAD for various reasons - I have health concerns (a chronic illness that can be life-ruining, that I've had to leave a job for before). I'm also terrified of giving birth, and I have really bad body image issues that I think could get worse after baby.
We're also doing quite well in our careers at the moment and I'm really enjoying it - I love that we can do what we want with our money and I don't want that to be ruined by the various expenses multiple kids would bring. Plus, travel is the most important thing in my life and I don't ever want to stop travelling. I feel like it could be possible with one kid, but more than one would make it really tough to take the type of trips I like to take.
In contrast, my husband has baby fever. He comes from a big family of 6 kids and his sister currently has 6 kids too. He keeps saying he's ok with being OAD but then always follows it up with 'but we'll see how we go, ideally we'd have two, you might change your mind'. I've tried to explain multiple times that it's very likely I will not change my mind, as travel isn't going to miraculously become easy with two kids for example. Also, travel isn't as important to him as it is to me.
I'm not sure what to do here - I'm concerned that if we have one and he's not happy with just one, that it'll lead to a split later. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do?

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction for where to go from here as im at a loss.
My iPhone 12 pro max suddenly stopped working back in April. It was still under contract with optus as I had a 36 month plan, and I had 7 months remaining on that plan. As it was over 2 years old, Apple said it was out of warranty and I'd have to pay to fix it, even tho there was no reason for it to have suddenly stopped working(no signs of water damage etc.)
Optus said they'd send it out for repair, so I sent it off but they said it was going to take 2+ weeks, and the only spare phone I have doesn't last more than an hour before it's battery dies. I have a baby and my partner is fifo, so I decided to upgrade my plan after doing some research, this was about a week after I sent the phone off to be fixed. This was clearly my mistake and I was being impatient but my phone kept dying while I was out with my little one.
Optus told me the phone would be repaired under warranty, and when I went into store to upgrade, I told them the phone was with boomerang to be repaired. At no point was i told that upgrading my plan would void the warranty of the old iphone.
After signing the contract for the new phone, about a week later boomerang sent back the old phone unrepaired. Said I needed to send proof of purchase with the phone. I went into a store, they sent me home with no help because they said they needed to contact boomerang, but it was already closed(im in WA and it was 4pm). I went back into store a few days later, in the morning, and they told me there was nothing that could be done, because i had upgraded my contract the old phone was no longer under warranty. I was furious, they said to go back to the store who upgraded my phone as it was their problem. I've been into the store who upgraded my plan, multiple times, but it doesn't look like they are doing anything even though the store manager insists he's chasing it up with head office. He keeps saying that it should be repaired under warranty as it was an error on optus' side but he needs approval to send it off and it feels like hes just wasting time.
My question is there any other avenue outside optus I can chase to get this resolved? I upgraded expecting they'd repair my phone, and I could sell the newly repaired iphone on for $500 minimum if not $800. I'm not ready to cut my losses as im still paying off the old phone

Hey :)
I'm trying to find something to read after a bit of a hiatus. Somehow nothing quite manages to suck me in anymore. It was a lot easier to lose myself in a book when I was younger.
Still a huge fan of Jonathan Stroud, especially the Bartimaeus sequence and the Lockhart & Co series. But there's barely any romance in these and I'm also looking for something more adult. Loved the investigating and the snarkiness of Bartimaeus and the skull. Also just really love Stroud's humour. Will definitely read his new series but there doesn't seem to be romance in it yet as well.
The Witchling Academy series by Monica Sanz was fun because it gave off HP vibes with the magic school and the wands. The mystery-solving, the magic, the gothic vibes and Sera's unusual familiar are quite entertaining in it. But I'm looking for something more adult with better world building and no love triangle.
The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri had some cool magic, loved the political scheming, the focus on female lead characters, the Indian flair, but there was missing something in the romance. I didn't feel any real chemistry or tension between them. Still interested in following this trilogy though.
So here a bit of a list of my preferences:

• romance as sub-plot or half and half, generally a nice balance between an interesting plot, excellent world-building and touching romance
  
• tension between the characters and a bit more than just a kiss, I don't mind explicit spice
  
• slow burn but am fine with middle burn as well
  
• 3rd person POV
  
• no love triangle or poly/harem relationship for the main pairing, just not in the mood for it right now
  
• no miscommunication driving the conflict in the romance
  
• prefer to not read a series spanning a lot of books, so a standalone or complete duology/trilogy would be ideal
  
• economic writing style
  
• love mystery-solving and trying to puzzle out what's going on alongside the characters, spying is pretty cool too
  
• have a weakness for magic wielders of any kind, so a focus on those would be nice
  
• not a huge fan of vampires/werewolves/shifters, so not a focus on these, love dragons but wouldn't mind to read about completely new or not as often used creatures
  
• FMC with a backbone, MMC too if there is one, and I want them to remain their own person even within the relationship, so I want them to become a union but them still be separate beings at the same time, a relationship of equals
  
• well-rounded characters
  
• no constant swooning over the other's physical attractiveness, a bit of it is fine but I don't need to be reminded of how amazing the other person looks all the time, especially not in dire situations (for that matter, there's nothing wrong with not being the most beautiful creature in the world, there are other things that can be attractive too, so if there are books out there where the main characters are perfectly average-looking or where there is no real fuss made about outer appearances that would be really nice; no offense intended to people liking it, just want to see something different)
  
• preferably adult romantic fantasy
  
• please no explicit domestic violence or SA
  

I'm picky, I know, and I'm not sure there is anything out there that fits 100% but if it comes at least somewhat close, I'd be thrilled.
Thanks in advance!

Now I'm sure plenty of this wasn't intentional, since the creators have said they wanted the series to be as accessible as possible, to the point the audience doesn't even need to know the characters' secret identities, but I thought this was just a fun way to view especially the first season to get some extra enjoyment out of it.
Anyway, I believe that Slade in the 2003 Teen Titans series has a lot of parallels to Batman, especially in his relationship and dynamic with Robin, but contrasts him in many key way that in turn make him more of a Dark, or at least twisted, version of who Batman was to Robin.
Starting with the obvious, Slade can do everything that Robin can, only better. He's older, stronger, much more skilled, has plenty of tech and gadgets at his disposal, and seems always a step ahead. And throughout the first season he positions himself as a mentor to Robin, repeatedly challenging him to test his abilities and make him better. All of this is very much like Batman on the surface level.
However, the exact dynamic both men have with Robin is very different.
While the series never shows what its universe's Batman is like beyond one of the tie-in comics, there are a few assumptions we can make given things said and implied in the series, as well as just general pop culture knowledge of Batman and Robin.
We know that Robin in Teen Titans thinks well enough of Batman to still consider him like a father ("I already have a father." followed by a swarm of bats flying overhead). Whatever happened between them, Robin doesn't hate him and seems that he left Gotham more just to be his own man, since he wasn't initially interested in working with the others he'd soon go on to form the Titans with. We know the death of the Flying Graysons happened as it usually does, and did Bruce having Dick take the oath as a crimefighter with him by candlelight, both of which we saw when Raven entered Robin's mind and saw his memories. And we know by the lack of Batman in the series that he never came to Jump City to force Robin back to his side.
And there's where we get the first big differences between Batman and Slade as Robin's mentors. For as much of a jackass as some versions of Batman can be, it's almost never in doubt that Bruce genuinely cared about Dick. He saw a kid who suffered a tragedy just like he did and did everything he could to help him, opening his home and eventually his secret to him, training him to be a hero who could prevent others from going through what they did. And when the time came, he let Robin go to pursue his own path.
By contrast, Robin has never even seen Slade's face, except for the one time where Slade didn't have a face left to see, just a skull since he was a tad undead at the time. Almost everything about Slade is kept closed off and a mystery to Robin. While Dick actually got to know Bruce Wayne, Slade is to Robin basically like Batman is to everyone else. He only ever gets to see Slade on the outside, not who he is underneath.
Similarly, he outright forces Robin to be his apprentice, threatening to kill his friends if he doesn't do what he wants. While Batman took Dick in for his sake, Slade wanted Robin almost purely because it'd benefit him and further his own selfish desires.
A stronger argument for the parallel is that each Titan has their own little personal character arc throughout the series, usually best seen in their own personal season. Raven's is opening up and finding a new family with the Titans. Cyborg's is making peace with being a cyborg and confirming with himself that he is still a man. Etc. And Robin's is learning to lighten up and overcome some of the more negative traits it's implied he inherited from Batman.
Throughout the series and especially season 1 Robin has issues where he can be obsessive, close himself off, feeling like he can and even has to do everything on his own. Even sometimes showing the willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done, such as the Red X episode, where Robin threw aside his morals, lied to his teammates, broke the law stealing private property, and, as we later learn in another season, commissioned an actual supervillain to make the Red X suit for him, all in the name of trying to bring down Slade. While we never see Batman in this series, a lot of fans tend to point to these traits as stuff Robin likely learned from Batman, given how many versions of Batman tend to share those traits as well.
But all these traits are also things Robin shares in common with Slade, and Slade sees them as a good thing. He actively encourages them in Robin even. Praising him when he tried to attack him while his back was turned. Talking about how they're not so different when he'll do whatever it takes to try and take him down.
The potential future in the episode "How long is forever?" hints at this too. In that future, after Starfire's sudden disappearance for 20 years the Titans broke apart and each succumbed to their various issues without the others to help them overcome them like in the main timeline. Raven locked herself away for the safety of others, Cyborg let his machine parts hold him back, Beast Boy's confidence fell apart, and Robin, now Nightwing, completely isolated himself to do hero work alone, with the very first shot we see of his headquarters being turning gears, just like those in Slade's original lair.
Slade is the perfect villain for Robin; a Robin who only recently had left Batman's side. If his arc is about overcoming his own issues thanks to the bonds he has with his friends, who better to act as his antagonist than a man who tries separating him from those friends and actively encourages the very flaws he needs to overcome? After finally leaving his role as Batman's sidekick, what would be a bigger punch to the gut than being forced back into that role again, just with someone else?
While it's more of a stretch than what I'm already doing, you could also view Slade's relationship with Terra in the series as a twisted version of Bruce's relationship with Jason Todd, the Robin after Dick. Terra wasn't the ideal apprentice that Robin was, just like how Jason wasn't the ideal Robin compared to Dick, but Slade and Batman took them in anyway in a deliberate effort to alter the path their life was on, only while Bruce did it to keep Jason's rage from turning him into a criminal, Slade did it to make Terra into one. Both Terra and Jason died tragically in ways that can easily be blamed on their mentors, but while Bruce genuinely cared about Jason, Slade was always just using Terra and met his own demise along with her.
Part of the reason I made this thread is funny enough because I don't really like the push DC has made over the years to make Slade/Deathstroke more of a Batman villain, in large part because I feel like it's based in a very dismissive mindset of the Teen Titans, like he's too cool a villain to be in the rogues gallery of heroes so "small time". And I realized that Slade from the 2003 cartoon is one of the few times where I don't actually mind the comparison to Batman, because Slade is only a Dark Batman/anti-Batman in regards to his relationship with Robin, not Batman himself.
TL;DR: In regards to Robin's personal story throughout Teen Titans, Slade acts like a Dark Batman/Anti-Batman figure. He is the mentor better than him in every way but deliberately lacking in the love and kindness Bruce gave him. Robin's arc is him trying to overcome the more negative aspects that Batman gave him while Slade tries to actively encourage them.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which is the biggest grosser of the rough post-summer, pre-Transformers: Rise of the Beasts season, came in second with just $8.6 million. Despite the blockbuster competition that arrived in its fourth weekend, the numbers didn't totally collapse, dropping 53 % for a cume of $151 million. Worldwide it is at $352 million, which isn't a great cume as the grosses start to wind down considering its $200 million budget. Still, it's the biggest of any film since Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, though Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will overtake it any day now.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts came in third place in its fourth weekend, down 29% with $6.1 million, emerging as one of the season's most durable grossers and one of the year's few bright spots when it comes to films for adults. The domestic cume is $56.5 million Fourth place went to Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, which had a negligible drop of 5% for a $3.2 million sixth weekend and $40.8 million cume., in fact )
, which isn't surprising considering it's the only family film on the market, and it's Transformers: Rise of the Beasts to grossing four times its $11.4 million opening. Still, the $72.6 million worldwide cume is soft given the $50 million budget , though a number of international markets have yet to open.
Finishing up the top five is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which had its biggest weekend drop yet, falling 42% for a $2.3 million seventh weekend. Of course, that's no reason to frown for the horror film, which has a domestic cume of $103 million and global cume of $ 210 million from a budget of just $20 million. lkjhgfdsa

Hi. I rarely post on reddit but I have developed a crush on a guy that I barely talk to.
Some background. He is really good friends with my best friends but we’re not really close and we honestly barely talk. I’m mostly friends with males (at least the ones we are mutually connected through) and I really don’t want him to view me as “just a friend” or how my other male friends view me. Any advice on that would help lol. Also we happen to live nearby eachother and so we do occasionally bump into one another.
Now for the good cute stuff. All of these are just really sweet things that he does because he’s a nice person. I do not think he likes me at all. I just think he’s sweet.

• We walked to this store nearby because we needed to buy some birthday gifts for a friend. I ended up buying a bunch of candles and he bought a card and some fun little toys and snacks. As soon as I finished paying for my gifts, he asked me to see the candles I bought (Even though we spent an hour smelling candles and deciding which ones I should buy). I handed him my bag and he ran away from me. It took me a couple of seconds when I realized that he did that just because he wanted to carry my bag for me. I am a very firm believer in being the strong independent woman type person and I usually very stubbornly insist on doing everything by myself. So I started chasing him to get my bag back. We were both laughing hysterically and honestly it was really juvenile, but it was just one of those moments where we were letting loose. But I was yelling something along the lines of “I don’t need a man to carry my bags i’m perfectly capable” and he said,” You definitely don’t need a man to carry them for you but i want to carry them for you.” It seems so dumb now that I’m typing this out but the fact is- I thought it was really sweet even though I was protesting it the whole time.
  
• One time we were having dinner in a group setting, and we were all complaining about our sleep habits. I have really bad insomnia. I was just saying that I was really grateful how all of them will go on late night walks with me when I can’t sleep (my crush not included. we’re not that close). Then he mentioned that he also occasionally likes going on walks. So, I got really excited and told him that I’m gonna start dragging him on walks with me everyday jokingly, because we’re neighbors and it would be really convenient. He looked at me and said “I would love to” Then he looked like his panicked a little and so I told him, “oh what are you scared i’m gonna murder you or something”. He said, “I don’t want to promise to ALWAYS go on walks with you because sometimes I get busy and i could never say no to you”. I GOT SUCH BUTTERFLIES ITS SO MINOR AND STUPID BUT IM SO ROMANTICALLY DEPRIVED THAT THESE LITTLE THINGS MEAN SOMETHING TO ME.
  
• Another time we were walking home together after a night out, and I was asking him what type of music he listens to. He started playing some songs until we reached a song that we both really liked and we were just playing it out loud and singing like idiots together while laughing. We kept doing it with different songs until we got back home.
  

i feel so stupid writing these out because I think he’s genuinely just a sweet person. There are some other ones on the list of cute moments that I can share if anyones interested. Does anyone think that I have even a little bit of a chance considering that he might view me as another ones of “the guys”? help a girl out lol.

The dog was barking at her husband's frantic attempts to extinguish the toaster, but Lulu was determined to have a productive, happy day. God help her. She was fiercely writing a grocery list.
"How do you stop spelling "bananas"?! She yelled in frustration as her husband passed by on his way out the front door with the flaming toaster.
"Where were you when that song came out?!" He yelled as he made a hasty exit.
"This shit is bananas..." she murmured to herself until she got to the spelling instructions, punctuated by the beat of her husband trying to smother the toaster fire with a shovel outside. She heard her neighbors talking to him. Great. Well, maybe this would stop them from gossiping about the Christmas Lights Incident anymore.
Her son called and said that he and his wife couldn’t come to lunch because the bus had turned into a spaceship, and there was just no way the driver was qualified to fly it. She told him that marijuana was illegal, but he said that he already knew.
Her husband left for work. She walked to the grocery store down the street ferociously, each step stomped with such energy that she scared the homeless people. No matter what happened, there was going to be corned beef and cabbage, damn it. And a completely unreasonable quantity of mint chocolate chip ice cream, because it was on sale.
She returned to find a sternly written warning from the Home Owner's Association taped to the front door. This happened a lot. She wasn't 100% clear what rule the toaster fire fell under, and apparently, the HOA board wasn't, either. If they had been, it would've been another fine.
Someone called her 11 times in a row, but she got dinner in the crock pot. By the time she picked up, her husband said that the doctor was sure his finger could be reattached.
"Don't worry about waiting around the hospital. The surgery will take hours," he said. Nevertheless, she first prepared herself through a generous application of her hot pink sparkly tactical blush, then went to the bus stop.
A disheveled young man tried to rob her on the bus, but she told him she didn't have time for that crap today. She recommended a good community college program that had helped her nephew get a fantastic job working with computers. He was so confused that he just got off at the next stop. He would forever remember it as the day a hooker turned his life around.
Three days later, she and her husband arrived back home with all their fingers. The neighbor she had texted had put out enough food and water for their dog to last a month, Lulu was relieved to see. She'd worried about that hyper little fluff ball. They could smell burned corned beef before they even opened the door. The house was as foggy as a speakeasy, so Lulu aired it out. She scrubbed the crock pot for ten minutes.
She prepared them two bowls of mint chocolate chip ice cream for their next meal.
"This is kinda fun. I like this better than if we'd had that corned beef," her husband chivalrously declared.
She laughed, simply happy that he could hold a spoon at this point.
"You know, I do, too."

So,
I watched this episode from this Supernatural, Crime, Detective Drama TV Series just now on my Bilibili App,
And this has got to be the most severe and painful line from a character, who is a pre-teen, that I have ever heard that truly hit my mind, heart, and soul with utter emotional pain and perhaps a bit of trauma, too,
Making me realize and learn about another harsh aspect of Reality.
It's from this pre-teen girl, who is with three more pre-teen kids, residing in the woods alone, who aren't what they seemed to be in appearance,
Who said this as her last words to one of the main female protagonists, who actually did try to help all four just to give them a future in society after years of being alone and unloved,
But it turned out that these pre-teen kids don't ever want to leave their home and life in the woodlands and want to be completely isolated from the rest of the world, only wanting a Parent-Figure to keep them alive and safe. A Mother, to be precised.
However,
If that Mother-Figure, whom they kidnapped, actually decide to run away from them, they would find her and kill her out of force to avoid getting themselves exposed to the rest of the world.
That pre-teen girl said this,
"I never want to see you again! I hate you!"
To that female protagonist,
Who did care and feel sorry for her and the other three,
And even though that female protagonist was really trying to help all four for the sake of their lives to be joyful and bright again,
But they all truly hate that decision she made for all of them, in which all four are being transferred to a child-caring facility with utmost protection and care to be reintegrated to civilization and just to avoid jail time,
For their sake and well-being, despite who they truly are,
Because of past, tragic, and traumatic, experiences from their respective lives.
But that's life.
That's the Real World in a realistic perception.
Even though the decisions we made for others are totally understandable and can actually help their well-beings and lives,
The decisions we make as human beings with compassion and a conscience will always have unexpected set backs, reactions, and backlashes from those types of people to our shock and horror.
Because those lives had either adamantly succumbed to fear and trauma
Or had completely lost themselves
With no more chances of getting fixed or for redemption's sake,
Even though we tried so hard to help them in a good, fair, humane, kind approach, especially if they are kids, pre-teens or elders.
That's the Human Race.
Not all are perfect nor have a humane conscience due to the horrible experiences that they endured and suffered that made them who they are today so adamant that it just can't be fixed. Not even by therapy or psychological evaluation or treatment.
Ever.
But as human beings, we must also learn from all of this to stay strong and keep our humanity within ourselves strongly against the harshness, cruelty, and corruption of the real world.
We will experience and endure such unexpected things
And meet people, who would become unexpected individuals to all of us beyond our expectations and prayers.
But we must NOT let those reality points render all of us down as well as our humane souls by fear and from the unexpected things that are connected to the Seven Deadly Sins that will make us hypocrites like them. No offense.
We MUST stay strong and become wiser and conscious than this for the sake of everyone else, especially those who loved and had supported us with utmost truth, loyalty, respect, compassion, and humanity above all.
So, even though that I would meet a pre-teen someday,
And if he or she ever said those painful words to my face, despite the decision I made for him or her that CAN and WILL help that pre-teen's life to be safer and well-loved than being completely isolated from the rest of the world,
Then I must stay strong against it, overcome it with my time, patience, and prayer, and wish and pray to God to help that pre-teen have a bright future, despite what had transpired or what harsh words he or she said to me as a 'goodbye forever' between me and that pre-teen kid.
I faced another harsh image and truth of Reality in front of my face, and I am currently overcoming it as I post this.
But I am doing just fine. Really.
So, stay strong! And stay strongly adamant on the side of Humanity for life and a bright future together!!
We ain't done yet!!!
By the way,
That TV Series, in case you are all wondering?
Title: Grimm Season 4 from Episode 3.
Yes, I watched and know 'Grimm'.

My rather recently passed away at the young age of 59. It’s been a rough few years battling through his proudness to get him to doctors to then him being there often with still not a lot of answers.
To start, we were constantly told he had TB. He worked in the merchant navy for around 35 years so suspected he picked it up then and it laid dormant. I (25) was out of the threshold for my TB shot at school so never received one. My step sisters and mother all did receive one - however my mother lived and cared in close proximity and whenever I would return home I would also stay there. We never received any information regarding TB, I was never recommended a shot. It’s my understanding it’s rather contagious.
We didn’t believe it was all down to TB, as he had lost weight rapidly, was lethargic, tired all the time. Couldn’t walk the stairs anymore, had water retention everywhere. A pop up lung health check that was recommended to everyone in the area (so not prompted by actual GP’s) showed up a cloud on his lung which would then be put down to suspected COPD and lung cancer.
By this point he was very weak, around 6/7 stone at 6ft. It would be difficult to propose an actual biopsy. Whilst understandable medically, he was sent back home with antibiotics, vitamins and fattening shakes. The antibiotics made him worse, and the doctor recommended he stopped taking them.
So for around a year - he was on vitamins, shakes and inhalers. These were still difficult to retrieve from our local pharmacy. As time went on my mother pressed my father to allow her to speak on his behalf which was a challenge but happened around March this year where he was so now weak we had to attain a special bed, commode, just in case meds from the Macmillan nurses we’d been put in touch with. These would only come round when rang for, maybe a 2 week check up where they would check his oxygen levels etc (which more than often wouldn’t even show at all).
We had to press for our local gp (who we are familiar with and been with for 40+ years) to come round and evaluate my father, we were told if a doctor didn’t come out at all a post mortem would have to take place in the event of his passing. He came round and still said TB.
In the last day of his passing, we presumed he was suffering a stroke, we rang the macmillan nurses, they didn’t do any physical tests or do anything, just rang about for advice, this prompted a Locum doctor to attend a few hours later. Again didn’t do anything, recommended we rang dove house to get him there into a more comfortable place. He had been lying on his (bad) lung for around 4 hours, unable to drink, eat, barely breathe. It was down on the doctors notes that he had refused treatment.
This was never the case - he wasn’t allowed certain treatment due to his weight, but put a lot of effort into gaining, but his health got the better of him and didn’t allow him to move forward.
The doctor said due to this being down on his records, he couldn’t do anything further - and left. He died about an hour later. The ambulance to dove house was 6 hours away.
We asked for a post mortem to get a proper answer. He died of COPD, lung cancer, tumor embolus and pneumonia. Our gp up until this point was still saying TB. Even the day after when we tried to obtain a death certificate - he was arguing with my mother it was more than likely TB.
Whilst I understand with the outstanding health problems, he ultimately would’ve died due to these factors. I just don’t believe he should’ve when he did, with the lack of attempt at care over the years. He was due to go into the hospital 3 days before he passed, but due to miscommunication they never came to pick him up and then it fell on a bank holiday, it got pushed to 5 days after. He died on the Sunday. (3rd day)
Going forward I’m understandably sad, angry and wanting answers. Me nor my family want any money, anyone sacked. We just don’t want this to happen to anyone else, and for some kind of justice for my father who fought till the very end. I understand this is abit much for a Reddit sub - but I think it’s the best place to start. Him and my mother weren’t married and he had no will so I am the next of kin if that’s any useful information.
Thank you to anyone who reads and gives advice.

I 15 female and my best friend 15 female attended the same party last week for a friends birthday. I will admit I was not intending to drink or smoke (I’ve done both in the past but never at the same time). But I had gotten into an argument with my mother the hour before and I’ve had issues with using substances as a form of coping in the past. This party was supposed to be for close friends as it was our close male friends 16th and at that party I was admittedly fucked up, I was throwing up and blacking out for a good portion of the party, and one of my close male friends who also happened to be high and drunk as well was helping me, I thought nothing of it as he was the person I’d smoke with all the time we’d spend a lot of time together as we grew closer. I did hear things from other friends about how he had a crush on me in the past although I have a boyfriend male 14 . now I thought it would be fine and I left my guard down. While I was sitting next to him about half an hour before I was supposed to go home he had one of his hands between my thighs (I was wearing a short skirt) and the other on my ass. And his hand placements where not with good intent and I know that because he’s talking about my body in the past and the way he was rubbing my inner thigh was not in the comforting was as it was under my skirt. I tried to push him away but he put his hands back and it made me extremely uncomfortable, others at the party have axis added that they saw him try to kiss me at one point but I can’t confirm because I was in a daze the entire time it was happening. The past few days have been extremely hard for me due to the fact I told my boyfriend about it and he blocked this guy on my account (I consented to him doing that whatever to reassure him) but it has caused a bit of drama considering my best friend texted me asking me why I blocked him and while in the middle of a panic attack about the situation I may have been a bit harsh and told her to “leave me tf alone” after I took a few days to calm down I spoke to her about what happened last night and she seemed to be on my side but quickly changed the topic about herself saying I really hurt her feelings when I said for her to “leave me tf alone” and I made her cry. All while I was still crying about it on call, I was having none of that and I shorty after ended the conversation and call. Today one of my close friends who takes the bus pulled me aside in class and told me what my best friend had been saying about the conversation behind my back to a group of girls who I used to be friends with but after causing many issues to my mental health I left them for my current friend group. My friend continued to say that it was brought up in the conversation she was having with them where they spoke about what happened. One of the worse girls brought it up whom I vented to about in during a panic attack in the school bathrooms the day before where she reassured me she wouldn’t speak of it, I’m not sure what caused me to vent to her but she made me feel safe. My best friend then continued the conversation calling me a liar and saying she “knows him” and he “wouldn’t do that” all well knowing he had a crush on me and the objectifying things he would say about me. When I found out I was pissed and during break I was intending on talking to her. When I found her she ran up to me and tried to hug me, my response was to push her off and pull her aside. I spoke to her about her words and how it hurt me and she denied all of it and once again tried to make it about herself, I stopped her from even getting a full sentence in and told her I needed a break from her bullshit and walked away. I’m sorry if this is kind of all over the place I’m quiet stressed and just needed to vent.

The sale of the flat I have put a offer on has gone around in circles for a while as the solicitor I was working with entered some of my personal information incorrectly into the Anti-Money laundering checks and it flagged up as failed (it was my passport number). Anyways I've had to switch solicitor and have subsequently passed their AML checks.
The sale is back on track but the seller is obviously pissed off and doesn't want to mark the sale as under offer on Zoopla etc until the exchange of contracts. Is there anything I can do in this situation, I don't think I've much choice but would like thoughts on whether anyone would push back on this ?
I understand the sellers perspective but also its stressful to have the property marked as available. They say they want a backup buyer just incase.

Okay so I'm currently seeing a psychiatrist for my concerns that I may have schizophrenia. I have auditory and visible hallucinations and I am paranoid 24/7. Sometimes the paranoia gets really bad and it gets to the point where I can't function well because I feel like there is someone right behind me at all times. It's a terrible hindrance that doesn't seem to go away. That on top of my constant mood changes really makes it hard to do menial tasks in my life right now.
A while back I had a spell of anger that I can only classify as borderline rage. I don't know what caused it but I was so angry to the point where I was visibly shaking. It was while I was at work as well, so it really wasn't a good look for me in my bosses eyes. I don't know what caused me to do this but, I began to look for masks online. Not like general face masks, but full face masks, something that completely hid my face. Eventually I found one though, it was a black mask with eye slits and nothing else. Just two holes to see out of. I instantly fell in love as soon as I saw it and I ended up buying it. Fast forward a week and it gets here, I waste no time putting it on. I can feel something changing inside me, almost as if I just took some sort of mind altering drug. It's like I'm not even the same person anymore while wearing it.
For reference, I can not speak while wearing it. Any sort of sound I make with it on is just a natural sound (ie sniffing or such), it's like I physically can not speak with it on. I also can seem to feel no anger whatsoever while wearing it. Anytime I would usually get mad at a game or anything else in my life, I just feel nothing while wearing it. It's as if I completely become a different person while I have it on.
Needles to say, I wear it quite often. The constant anxiety of feeling like someone is watching me just melts away with it on, but I don't know why. I want to know why it feels so good to wear the mask, I want to know why I feel like I'm someone else in my body with it on. I really hope I've given enough explanation to my situation, and I thank anyone in advance for any help or insight you offer me. Thank you.

I've been legally separated from my Ex for over a year now. On my way home from picking my kids up yesterday, my son (6yr. old) says "Hey dad! Mommy told me Marlon (her bf) spent $100 on my bday gift!). Quick back story, this bf was in my kids life before I was even moved out and only 1 month into our divorce. Anyways, I didn't respond I just changed subject. I couldn't think of a good response, my brain just froze. Anyone else have this happen? If so, how'd you respond? I appreciate any and all comments, thank you.
