Heartbroken Puns

I got a night-shift job doing data entry back in 2015. I quit and needed something fast at night while I look for something better during the day.

It was a data entry position, meaning I get an email containing the details of an order and proceeding to input the information into our system.

Right after my training I knew this is something Autohotkey can do, I don't know to code that well, so I went to a freelancer website to hire a guy to develop the code, it cost me a two-month salary....

I just had to input how many orders I want to process per hour, since day 1 I was working from home because the company did not want to pay for transport or cleaning during the graveyard shift.

For the first 2 years, I would check if there was something the code cannot do (usually took me less than 5 minutes) and then I would let the computer running and watch movies, go to bed, sometimes I'd even go out. Then I added those functions to the code as well.

I was doing such a remarkable job I was offered promotions a few times, new positions during the daytime that I'd reject stating I'm a very introverted person that enjoys this type of position.

Eventually, I got another job, better paid, but there was no reason for me to quit where I was working. For my data entry job, I could spend months without having anybody reach out to me.

Sometimes some co-workers will try to match my order entry quota, which would make me open the code, and change an 8 to 9 to increase my production and keep myself on top. I'd change the numbers regularly "just in case" but nobody even noticed.

I even got 2 salary raises at some point for never missing a day, and being the top producer in my 3 people department, to which I corresponded by changing the 9 and switching it to an 11 or 10 on some days.

My end.

It took them 4 years to develop new software that will replace my data entry position. Since clients were granted access to our new system. A few weeks ago I got my severance check, I was told I could keep the laptop and office equipment and that I'm welcome to apply for any position I want.

I never talked about that with anybody IRL, not even my family, even my wife wasn't sure what my job was about with that other company.

Now that it is over. There you go, my darkest work secret.

I did try to schedule a demonstration of "my code", I think that was back in 2017. The regional manager told me they're very busy dealing with the important stuff, just to keep doing the good

I told my Q tonight that I got vaccinated. You all know the preamble to these situations. Lots of conflict about what it is is it dangerous etc. he asked me to wait until the 6th I finally just did it yesterday. He has said I have ruined our relationship and he can never kiss me or be intimate with me again. I am devastated. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Edit: I want to thank you all for everything. I have left him. He said he will seek help but I am not letting that draw me in. The kindness from people on this group and the depth of understanding has been exceptional.

Finally, after ten years. I flew out there to see him and it was supposed to be the biggest moment of our relationship. He was there waiting and when he hugged me that first time it was so warm. Felt like home. I’ve loved this man for so long. I knew it without a doubt. I really believed he felt the same. Especially after so long and us finally being able to take that next step.

Halfway through the trip, he began acting different. Took me out to dinner to meet his best friend. I ended up being the third wheel the entire time. Whenever I tried to talk I was basically ignored. Then went by where he worked, didn’t introduce me to anyone there. He walked away from me to talk to anyone.

The worst part of this is when it came time for me to leave. He dropped me off at the airport. He parked and as soon as we got inside he was all “well I have to get going now” and didn’t even hug me goodbye or anything. I couldn’t figure what I had done so wrong. Then right before boarding my flight, it got cancelled (this was when the tornados happened) and we wouldn’t be leaving until the next day. I tried to call him and text him. No answers. I was also low on money at the time but he had promised to help me with that.

I start panicking because I’m a young girl by herself in an airport in a town that im completely unfamiliar with. This was not a safe area either. Three hours later, he responds to me saying he can’t get me and that he has to work the next day and already accepted the shift last minute apparently. Then said I couldn’t stay with him anymore either way because I was only expected to be there for the week I was there? I don’t get how that makes any sense. It’s his house that he lives in by himself.

Long story short, I ended up spending the night in the airport and thank god for the wonderful security that let me stay near them so I wasn’t just at the front entrance. I spent 32 hours in the airports and planes just trying to get home. I should’ve only been an original 5 hour flight home.. I also had not eaten that entire time. He didn’t reach out to see if I was okay or if I made it home. I heard from him a few days later. Just a text saying he doesn’t love me

Three days ago my husband and I said goodbye to our little JRT. We took her camping for a few days in the mountains to say goodbye, she couldn't walk two steps without falling over so we carried her with us. At almost 16 years, this crazy, charismatic, energetic little pooch charmed us and most people she met. She was there for us, with us, through everything, our first home, baby, careers, all of it. It went so fast. And just like that shes gone forever and I just cant get my head around it. We are like zombies. I feel sick, pain in my chest, cant breath, cant stop crying. I actually would happily give up now if there was a chance I could be with her again. I honestly don't know how I can deal with it. I thought I was prepared for this, but I was so far off. I had no idea I could feel pain on this level. Am I ever going to get past this?

Is there a thread which is more suitable for this post? I'm sorry if this is the wrong place. I will delete it if not appropriate.

I am 13 weeks. We found out in wednesday that the baby will be heavily mentally disabled. Physically fine. He looks perfect on the scans.

We are so utterly heartbroken. I feel like a fool for hoping. Because I am a carrier of the mutation that causes this and we knew there was a 50% risk of having this outcome. But we chose to try.

It's the second pregnancy we end this way. The 50% chance resets every time. It feels so bitterly unfair.
I dont know if I can try again after this. I dont know if I can take another atempt.

I have been begging this little spark of life to be healthy every night. We were so ready to love him. I wanted so badly to meet him. We were so ready to welcome him.

I have been looking up the condition again. But we cant provide for him as he gets older. As we get older. He will never be autonomous. It would alter my 4year old daughter's childhood. She could become responsible for him if something happened to us.

The termination is planned for monday.

I dont know how to get through the next few days carrying him. I dont know how to say goodbye.

I hate my growing belly that was so beautiful a few days ago. I hate my body. I hate myself down to my dna.

I'm so ashamed somehow, that we dared to hope for another outcome. It feels stupid and foolish and cruel.

I wanted to be positive so that all he would feel, no matter outcome, would be love. But I think I've opened myself up to more heartbreak.

I'm trying to keep it together for my daughter. She asks me often why she doesnt have a brother or sister. I wanted so bad for this to work.

I dont know how to go forward from here.

Edit: It's beyond humbling that so many people care, love and support in this community. I cant tell you how much comfort reading kind and thoughtful words and personal experiences brings. It surprises me. We're hurting, but we love each other. thank you. I feel less alone.

My boyfriend is in town for next 10 days but my mom wouldn't let me out of our house to meet him due to surge in covid cases in our hometown. Can't even bring myself to stop crying. How to deal with this ? We won't be able to meet after this for atleast 2-3 years due to our respective studies abroad.

It's dumb and daft but I've played this game for half my adult life. The Main save file has been one of the core constants in my life and now the file just won't register or load.

I actually cried.

Just slowly losing it here. Been together for 4 years now. We just took a break for my mtf gf to go out and have some experiences with guys as she suspects she might be heterosexual and she never really got the chance to fully immerse herself into this so she can evaluate how important this is for her. And I just don't know what to do with myself meanwhile. Not sure why I'm writing here...so confused and sad and lost. I know I'm supposed to take care of myself and bla bla and I just can't move a finger. I'm so...I feel like I'm losing the love of my life and there is nothing I can do about it. I'm in a very dark place and I see no way out. I'm starting to feel everything we know about the world is wrong. There is no love. It's all a lie. We've been tricked. 💔

As the titel says, My MIL hates me,

The first time i met my fiance's parents they were very "cold", i felt pretty unwelcome, but at the time i thought they might have had a bad day or uncomfortable with new people or something close to that,

well.... 7 years later and its clear they just dont like me, and honestly, i'm ok with that there are 7 billion people on the planet, i'm sure there are alot of people who you wont like for whatever reason,

My "problem" is the reasons they have given for not liking/hating me are not true at all,

1: I'm finacially abusive. Pretty impressive considering my fiancée and i both make good money, have no shared accounts, and i have no access to her finances at all,

MIL's "reason" for this claim is that my fiancée's name is not on the deed of the house, i bought the house when we were still going on dates, it was a cheap place because the previous owners had pretty much destroyed/abandoned the place + a fire next door damaged it quite a bit (mainly water damage), they sold it for ALOT less then they could have if they fixed the place, but they didnt i swooped in spent alot of time fixing everything and made it our home, i've asked my fiancée if she wanted to buy in to the deed twice, 1st time was when she lived at "my" place for about a year, she thought about it and declined, the second time was just before the world went to shit and we were "exploring" our options to buy a place together and she declined again.

2: I'm controlling......I'm not.

the only "example" she constantly gives for this is the fact that my fiancée sends me a text when she arrives at a place that is give or take 45 minutes away from home (work, parents house etc.), and again when she leaves.

The thing is, i have never asked her to do that and its a habit she has taken from me, my mother asked me to do that when i was 15/16 going to parties and hanging with friends, i did that till i moved out at 20, moved in with my sister who also had to do that when she lived at home, so we just continued doing it, moved to my own place at 24, fiancée moved in 8 months later and i started doing that for her, she liked me doing it as it gave her some "comfort" and after a while she started doing it too,

3: I'm manipulative, No examples i just am i guess.

We (Fiancée and me) were pretty LC with her parents after MIL had caught me "cheating".

MIL works at a store at the airport, one day i was a the airport picking up my "affair partner", i saw my "affair par

For those who dont know, in Islam, when a girl reaches piuberty she is Islamically obligated to observe pardah, which means that there must be segregation between both sexes, so men and women aren't allowed to have any physical contact like hugging and hand shaking, and they aren't allowed to be alone with each other without a male relative accompanying the woman. Also women are supposed to cover their awrah, which means their entire body (excluding the hands and face) must be covered, and they also have to wear a hijab. Men are also obligated to cover their awrah, but it is much more relaxed for them (they only have to cover themselves from the belly button to their knees)

Now my aunt and uncle are forcing my baby cousin to wear the hijab and it was met with hysterical crying and pleading. My aunt and uncle responded by "disciplining her" and accused her of chasing after boys and doing immodest things and deviating from her Islamic obligations and faith. Threatened to withdraw her from school if she didn't. Eventually she caved in and reluctantly wears it now, though you can tell she absolutely despises it and she seems depressed and miserable all the time. She's gone from a normal bubbly girl to a sad recluse.

Even though I'm a man, I so badly wish I could stand up for her and all the other Muslim/ex muslim women who are treated like trash by this religion, unfortunately if I spoke out for her, I would probably be outed as an ex Muslim and disowned by my parents. So for now I'm silent, but it kills me inside thinking about my cousin and her future, not only does she have to deal with the bs oppression and regressive backwardness that Islam offers, but also the social stigma and bigotry from western elements. My heart breaks for all the women in this religion who are punished merely for the crime of being a woman

I just saw that Barca is playing Athletic Club on the 19th. This is an issue for me because I live in the United States and will be in Barcelona the 18th to the 22 for the main reason of watching a Barcelona game at the Camp Nou (against Rayo) as this has always been a dream for me. I’ve been a fan since I was a little boy. I paid for both me and my GF’s game tickets (VIP) and we even bought each other a bunch of Barca merch to wear to the game for Christmas. Now that this game will be rescheduled I just want to sit here and cry I was so excited for this and spent so much money on the trip just to not be able to have the ability to do the main thing I’m going there to do.

Edit: Thank you all so much for your kindness! I am so happy to be part of such an amazing community. But of course it’s natural for the best club in the world to also have the best fans as well! Visca El Barca🔵🔴

We have a 3 year old little girl. The AP's husband is the one that told me. I confronted my partner, he lied, called me crazy, we started arguing pretty bad, so I went to my parents to cool off.

When I got back. He had left with his AP.

This whole night has been such a nightmare. I have this pain in my chest that won't go away. I can't stop crying. What is my daughter gonna think?

I am a mess right now. I havent eaten all day and I really dont know what to do.

I was raised in a messianic Jewish household by a single mother. From an early age, I attended seder services every Friday, wore kippah, blew shofar, etc. My mother, aunt, and grandmother were proud of our Jewish heritage, and ensured I was as well. I am now 29 and have begun to explore my family genealogy. During my investigations I have uncovered that although my ancestors were Hasidim in Spain, there has not been an unbroken lineage of women. There has been at least one person in the line who was male, and although he had a daughter, this violates halacha to my understanding, and therefore means I am not a Jew.

I am so heartbroken over this. I rejected my messianic upbringing and have embraced Tanakh, and now it feels pointless. I feel like a Jew trapped in a Noachide body. My wife and I eat Kosher, keep Shabbos, etc. Please give me some insight on how to make sense of this, because I am heartbroken and feel like I have lost something that I was apparently never entitled to to begin with.

Trae Young, James Harden, Jaylen Brown, DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Bradley Beal, Darius Garland, LaMelo Ball, Fred VanVleet, Jrue Holiday

DeRozan really should be a forward but he is listed as a guard in voting

There are 6 total spots for guards: 2 starters, 2 backups, 2 wildcards

Really tho it's Beal, Garland, Ball, Holiday, and VanVleet competing for one wildcard spot
