Career Advice

I have worked in a large city for almost three years now, full-time, at a job I've come to dislike quite a bit. It's easy work, a decent wage, although very dull and high rent means I'm not saving much anyway.

I have been thinking about resigning and spending at least two months at my mom and step-dad's house back in my hometown while trying to find part-time work therein order to focus on my own personal ambitions, namely writing a book. I am afraid however of falling into long-term unemployment and being blacklisted.

Is it stupid / naive / childish of me to simply resign and do what my instincts are urging me to?

I haven't taken a day off sick in these three years and have been a very good employee.

Thanks to anyone who replies.

No one's going to hire you part time for two months.

That's such a cute picture

That's not what I meant. I mean I was planning to move back to my mom's place and job hunt there in my hometown, with the intention of moving out and finding my own apartment back home after maximum two months. Apology for confusion.

I'm throwing a big party in a private waterfront cabin over the weekend. There are going to be about ~20 people there, with about a 70/30 male/female split and a 50/50 extroverted/introverted split. I really want to make sure everyone has a good time, as I hate it when people get bored or introverts get ignored.

What kinda stuff should I bring/prepare to make it as great as possible? Cash isn't a problem, I like to spend money for good experiences for my friends and I.

Stuff I've already arranged:
- Private lake and acres of private land to fuck around on
- Indoor pool (just in case the temp sucks)
- Outdoor hot tub
- Raspberry Pi 3 with all retro games + two controllers
- Beer pong stuff
- About $300-400 worth of booze
- Cards
- Fire pit

(Put differently, if you were to go, what would you want/not want to do?)

If half the group are introverts, you'd want to be able to give them some alone or quiet time. Also don't make it too structured, this isn't summer camp.
>>
>>17676224
get more women there than men. You will have 14 dudes and 6 women currently and a recipe for a fucking disaster
>>
maybe some board games. but really what you've got there is an amazing setup as is. nothing more you can do really other than forcing those introverts to get involved.

I was snooping on my boyfriend's computer yesterday and found a bunch of creepshots he took of women at work. Now, I imagine you're wondering: Why were you snooping in the first place?

A couple months ago, I unintentionally stumbled onto the fact that my boyfriend had been paying a woman for nude pictures since before we met. Honest to God, he had just left his email open and there was a recent payment receipt. He initially lied to cover his tracks, so I went into snoop mode and busted him with more evidence. He finally came clean, told me the whole story, promised to stop paying her for nudes, and promised he wouldn't lie to me again. I asked him, "Is there anything else I should know about? This is your chance" and he said no.

Fast forward to the present: I was feeling nervous, like there was something I was missing, so I snooped again. Only to find MORE gross shit he's done, only this time it's unconsensual, so even more terrible. I confronted him about it, and he said it was something he had done years ago, that he was ashamed of it, and that he hadn't told me because he was just trying to forget. He said he had been severely depressed 2 years ago, started doing things he regrets (like paying the girl for nudes) and that he desperately wants to be a different person now.

/adv/, would you give him another chance? I love him and I really want to. But I just don't feel like I can trust him anymore. I want to, though.

I'd dump him and report him to the police. Depression isn't a free pass to cheat and take illegal pictures.

>would you give him another chance?

nope this won't change, he had a chance to change his behavior but he didn't and he won't
>>
>>17676133

He did it before, so there is always a chance that he might do it again if he gets bored or feels the urge. It sounds like a variation of a porn addiction and it could be easy to fall back into old habits. It's your decision whether you're okay with that possibility or not.

I am 23m and I purchase stuff and then later on, regret it. I bought a cool sports car because I always wanted to race but I barely use it anymore and nobody has never given me more attention with it. I bought a race bicycle and all the stuff that comes with it (3500$+) in order to be in better shape and join a cool cycling club but I never use it because there is a lot of bicycle theft, it's getting cold and not that versatile. I bought a gun and some ammo because it's cool but it's very expensive and maintenance is a bitch. I signed up for olympic weightlifting classes because I need power at my job but again, expensive, not feeling that I am learning anything at all.

I ALWAYS come to regret my purchases. I initially think I will enjoy it and do it for me but it always comes back as regret.

Why is that? Why can't I just be hally with what I do/buy?

It's because you're a fuckwit who buys things on impulse and for dumb-as-shit reasons.
>>
>>17676141
Yeah I have a problem with impulse buying. I often see people doing cool stuff and I want to emulate, to be part of the cool crowd too. I guess once born a loser, always a loser? What can I do about it?
>>
>>17676131
You may be addicted to the rush of buying stuff. You imagine that this next purchase is going to make your life so great.
Well, buying expensive things for a hobby that you're a begginer at is doomed to ruin the experience for you.
Here's my life: I like playing the guitar and driving cars. My guitar is a cheap, hand-me-down 6 string acoustic guitar, and the only thing I've bought for it is a capo and a few sets of strings. That's it. Buying some expensive electric guitar isn't going to make me Eddie Vanhalen. It will just make me be a guy playing Wonderwall on a guitar that Eddie Vanhalen would play. I don't feel pressured into playing because I paid $5000 on equipment. I spent less than $100 on the hobby and play for fun.
And as for cars, I bought a classic car. It's fun to drive and requires learning about cars to work on it. I'm not worried about the depreciating value of the car, getting into an accident, or parking it. It costed me $1000 and everytime I go somewhere with it, it turns heads and people ask me about it. You don't get that with a brand new Porsche or a Corvette. And I know I'm having more fun with my car than those 40+ year old men who spent $100k+ on a convertable that they drive maybe 10 times a year.
As for spending a lot of money, I think about a purchase for at least a month, and rarely buy stupid shit I'm not going to end up using.
Don't take my anecdote as telling you not to spend money on your hobbies, but don't think spending a ton of money on a hobby is going to make you good at it or make you enjoy it.

What do you mean exactly? And to whom do you refer as teachers? To the actual teachers or to anons that share advice?

im a guitar teacher so i have learned how to speak kid language. 1 on 1 most people in general are cool, but i think it would take me a while to build up to teach a class of 30+ and be comfortable

however i also do delivery driving and sometimes ill have to go to a highschool which still makes me uncomfortable. something about the energy of it when all the kids are walking around puts me back into the mindset i had when i was there and i hate it
>>
>>17676096
I feel comfortable around kids operating in small groups of 1-10.

A class of 30 will be your worst nightmare.

Well...

My parents forced me into Nursing as a major. I am not able get my head into it at all, as well, I just am not into the Bio aspects of it. Though I did notice that I did enjoy the Sociology aspects.

I originally applied into the schools Criminal Justice Program, but a couple months before I began classes I was forced to change majors to Nursing. I voiced my displeasure for that, but they were unwilling to listen.

Basically now, I am at the point where I am being forced to drop out, as I am not able to get my head into the Bio aspects of Nursing, and they would not pay for my college other wise. They wont even co-sign for loans that requires one. I am not even sure if they will allow me to leave the house to finish out the remainder.

They are basically now trying to tell me that I am unfit for college, just because I can't get my head into a Major that I have no interest in. They refuse to see that they had a part in this as well.

Also, I don't really have much of an idea of what I want to do.

So.... What to do...

Honestly you are probably just stupid bro. I would be grateful if they payed for a medical degree. biology is one of the most interesting subjects. Get your shit together.

You can either finish it, or drop out. I don't think it's right that they're making you do nursing, but I think it's fair that if they're paying for it, they should be happy where their money is going.

Move on, OP. IT's hard to gauge what exactly happened in the end by just reading
"Keeps trying to convince me she loves me, I don't believe her"

But depending on how it ended after you told her you need time to think, she probably assumed it was impossible to salvage the situation.

In any case, if you're uncomfortable with what she said, maybe it's time to get out.
>>
>over text
>>
>tell her I need time to think
>she suddenly stops texting me
that seems like the rational thing to do from her perspective, no? You declared you need alone-time, so she leaves you alone? She's probably waiting for you to come back from your "time to think".

Also, I would not want a relationship where I can't point out when I like people of my SO's gender. Total feeling of uneasiness. I would not disclose a single intimate thing about my life to such a partner, cause I would get judged for it.

Is smoking cigs making me vocally tone deaf?
Ive been told I can sing by many people in my life.. been involved in vocal events in my community etc. Ive been hearing my voice recently and I cant tell if its just because I am vocally weak or if its as bad as becoming totally tone deaf. Opinions?

Be polite, but don't be a suck-up. Don't act as if they're better than you. Keep your head high and act as if you respect yourself. Just pretend she's from the same background as you, and just meet your girlfriend's parents. Don't make the economic difference into a thing.

I had sex maybe a week ago without a condom. He didn't cum and we checked in between and there was no pre-cum at all. But he came hours prior so is it possible that maybe dried cum was on the tip from before and it couldve gotten me pregnant? Also, im two days late on my period which is pretty common and my boobs have been sore.

Every time you have unprotected sex you risk pregnancy.
Take a pregnancy test if you're worried.
We're not pussy whisperers, we cannot know what's going on in your uterus.

>Mfw know that I'll probably be in this situation one day when I start having sex and forget the condom

Fuck.

I'm so sad that I can't find a decent girl.

Everyone is just fucking randomly and the people who are in relationships cheat, both guys and girls. A friend of mine, a girl too, told me to just forget about it and start having fun.

But I want to have a relationship. Those don't seem to exist anymore. Should I just give up and join the pickup culture?

Cry me a river.

The moment I decided fuck it, I'll just start having sex with people, the first girl I slept with instantly became my monogamous girlfriend for five years.
>>
>>17675821

your friend gave you great advice and you just disregard it.

>Should I just give up and join the pickup culture?

Yes.

Women dont want relationships with dudes that want relationship. They want to pin a guy that isnt interested at first but then she makes him interested.

They are this much insecure that they need this validation. So act like a man and forget relationships exist.

Premature ejaculation problems.

Had three sexual partners over the last 8 years or so, long term relationships, all of them were virgins at the time, sex was normal, after the last breakup I had a dry spell lasting over a year, I wasn't really interested in anyone and since I have a pretty low sex drive I haven't looked for hookups either.

A few weeks ago, I decided to do something about my life, moved away, started living with my good female friend of five years, started looking for a job etc.

After a while she suggested we hookup, and I agreed since I wanted to try a relationship with no strings attached but each time we tried having sex I literally came after just a thrust or two.

Tbh I don't think I ever had a positive sexual experience in my life, I wasn't abused or anything like that, I just don't seem to enjoy sex as much as my friends.

Got any tips for me? I'm getting pretty desperate.

If you don't enjoy it, why do you think you cum so quickly?

Is there a lot of foreplay? Do you feel close to cumming during foreplay and then move onto fucking because you're reaching that point of orgasm? Or is it literally just the process of sticking your dick in her and pumping a bit that makes you cum?
>>
How often do you masturbate? Particularly, when you have sex, how long has it been since the last time you did?
>>
>>17675831
Beats me, even when I cum I feel no pleasure.
Yeah, but I tried to move to fucking and ended up with the same results, on one occasion she didn't touch me even once and I still ended up cumming once I got inside.

>>17675845
Masturbating once or twice a week is usually enough for me, when I had sex regularly I didn't masturbate at all.
I tried masturbating a few hours before sex, I tried going at it again after cumming but I still cum too soon even the second time.
