My BF (27M) and I (23F) have a really strong relationship, but it's starting to feel unequal on all fronts. We also disagree on some fundamental things, but I want to know if I'm being a little crazy. We have been together for 5 years.
A few key recurring issues:
- I think his relationship with his mom is... overbearing. I love the woman to death, I've known her five years, she's great. She's honestly a gem and she treats me very well. However, my bf is at her beck-and-call all the time. She's pretty young and able-bodied but he will drive the 40mins-1hour to her apartment to do the most basic tasks. Needs to get a box from storage 1 floor down her building? Call him. Can't figure out something on the TV? Call him. Generally bored and needs someone to watch a movie with her? Call him. Needs to take her car to get repaired? Call him. Most recently, she had a train to catch for 7am. The train station is literally a $8 uber ride from her condo. She called him to wake up at 6am, drive 40mins, take her to the train station and then drive back. I work a full-time job so weekends are the only time I really get to hang out fully with him, but we always end up hanging out with his mom. He says he "offers", but I've personally been there when she pesters him to do those things. He usually just does it. He lives with his dad.
- We don't live together because he is currently in between jobs. We tried apartment-hunting but his credit score/current state of employment didn't match mine at all (he has alot of credit card debt). He has been unemployed while he completes an online course (and he has one 3-hour class once a week). I work a full time job, so this means I generally pay for everything - dates, food, movies, have paid for his gas, literally any expense that comes up. I had to add him as an authorized user on my cc because he needed a credit card to get a rental car when he was getting his mom's car fixed. Sometimes he'll get me a coffee, donut or ice cream cone, but that's about it. He's living off money that his mom or dad gives him from time to time (or money from me). My job is high-paying so I don't mind, but that means I want to hang out and do fun things during my spare time. Unless I pay for him, I can't do those things. Id love to travel the world, but I can't unless I pay for him too. I've paid for him for multiple vacations and taken him on work trips so he can see other cities. I come see him after work sometimes just because if I didn't, we would
"God dammit, I'm so tired of doing these stupid chores for them. Just because I can teleport, doesn't mean I should have to do all this crap. Flash can practically get around just as fast as me, and Superman is a close second.. Can't they take care of their own chores?"
Krypto looked up at me, puzzled. "Bark, bark! Rrrrruff!"
"I know, I know. Gotta start somewhere. Hopefully some day, I'll be out there protecting the world with the rest of the League."
After our third lap around the entire Kent farm, I decided to take Krypto back inside. Upon heading back out, I hear what sounds like explosions in a video game. "Hello? Who's there?" I called out, now even more frustrated that I had to walk Krypto when someone else was already here.
"Hold on dude, I'm on a sick kill streak! I think I'm up to like 62 kills!"
I stepped in to the bedroom and I see what looks like Clark, except fat, sweaty, and covered in Cheeto dust.
At this point I'm practically fuming with anger. "YO! I don't know who you are, but you clearly live here. Yet, somehow I still find myself walking the dog."
"SHIT! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" screamed the overweight Superman. He then threw his controller so hard that it vanished from my sight instantly. All that remained was a hole in the wall and a huge sonic boom. "I DIED BECAUSE OF YOU. I TOLD YOU TO HOLD ON!"
"My bad dude. I just wanted to know why I'm the one walking your family's dog?"
Super-Large-Man finally snapped out of his video game-induced rage. "Wait, are you friends with Clark? Like.. friendsfriends?"
Clearly this guy has power, after that whole controller incident.. I guess I could tell him who I am. "Yeah, we're uh.. Justice Friends, you could say."
Big Boy Kent rolled his eyes. "Oh, you're one of them? Bah, you should probably just leave. I can't stand the Justice League. Bunch of cocky, stuck up bastards."
"Well, I'm not really one of them.. I'm more of an errand boy for them." I replied, defensively. "I can definitely see why you'd think they are all stuck up. All they ever have me do is run back and forth taking care of their personal business while they go out and fight bad guys. I'm so fed up with them."
"Are you serious? See, I knew they were all a bunch of jerks. My name is Dav-El, but you can call me Dave." Dave stood up and reached out a hand covered in Cheeto dust. "It's nice to meet you. What's your name?"
I hesitantly reached out to shake his hand, knowing full well that I'd be dying to wash them until th

It was the break of dawn itself that saw Jon Stark arise. He'd been cast out from slumber by the inkling of sunlight that crept over the mounds on the horizon, penetrating the paned glass to catch the attention of Stark. He blinked once, twice, a third time before shapes began to make sense. It was a soft groan that followed, more breathed than something else, and accompanied the slight movements made in an attempt to not wake the one that slept beside him - even if the slightest noise ought to wake the creatures that littered the room. It smelled of... dog, no, wolves.
He slinked out in a silent caution, freezing in the moment to flicker eyes towards Ice and the rest. Jon was thankful the lot remained silent, for now, throughout the exchange of attire that was to see himself set for the trials to come. It was never a simple thing, no, not with these plans. The Warden of the North oft pondered in silent contemplation whether it were too ambitious a goal, if it were to be overstepping some mark or line carved in the snow beneath them. The Night's Watch could be returned, surely, and the Free Folk had entered the North before. It could be done again, Jon knew it to be true. It was a thought, nothing more, and one that ended in the same confirmation as before.
Idealism ought to be the end of Jon Stark.
Jon coated himself in a fur cloak that grew to be thicker the closer towards the neck it reached, bundled together in a series of blacks, browns, and others that seemed to trickle further from colour - noticeable ears that told the rest of the animal in which the pelt once belonged to. It strapped over the rest of the darker clothing that was befitting of the climate with a cross that kept it in place, firm around his shoulders when treading closer towards the exit. "Go on." He softly said beneath a murmur, ordering all four wolves outside with a repetitive wave, venturing into the stone stairwell. Jon offered one final look inside; a faint smile, and then the door found itself closed once more.
It took some time to make the descent downwards. He was left with nothing other than the clattering of claws against the stone and the beginning sensation of the bitter cold that seeped inside between the cracks. Jon broke outside to be met with a full-frontal assault from the freezing temperatures and a grimace thrust over his features for a brief second. "Ooft." He breathed through teeth held together, tightening himself before the quick adjustment had been made.

Been wracking my brain trying to find this children's book I used to read as a kid at my Grandfather's house. I'd love for some help, thanks a bunch.
> Describe the plot.
As best I can remember, it was about a boy, maybe middle-school aged, that had parents that were too busy to spend time with him. He felt like he wanted to be more of an adult and figured he could help his parents out and get them to spend time with them if he did a lot of their errands for him? Like going out to get meat/bread, get shoes polished I think, stuff like that? It was in a city, much less rural area I believe.
> Describe notable characters.
The boy is the main character of the story and he has his two parents and maybe a sibling?
> What genre is it?
Fictional book. I can't remember if the book was hardcover or paperback but it was a children's picture book and nicely illustrated. Realistic but still cartoonish people at least.
> When was it set?
Seems like it was probably in the 90s or the 80s.
> How long was the book?
It wasn't overly long. It was a children's picture book and was probably only like 20 or so pages if I can recall correctly.
> How old were you when you read it? > When (what year) did you read it?
I was probably in middle school myself, about 10-14 years old? I likely read it in early or mid 2000s.
> Was it new when you read it?
No, didn't seem to old, but thinking about it, it probably came out in the 80s or 90s?
> What age range was it for?
It was for children, probably 8-14 years of age?
Any help is super appreciated. Thank you! Been looking everywhere for it.
I have some random save points throughout Story Mode. Will it count if I go do Errand Boy on one of those, even though it won't be completed in my latest save point (the one where I have finished the whole Story)?
I sink, deeper and deeper. Each attempt at escape pulls me down.
But an angelic figure reaches for me and pulls me up.
“Please, let me out of here,” I plead. “I shall, when you help me reach enlightenment”, it replies. Hearts taken, souls stolen, all for the figure of light.
But the angel was a mask, as a betraying lurked behind. I sink, deeper and deeper, with no escape.
Hi I'm wondering about the errand boy achievement, I have completed the story but I didn't unlock it while playing through the game, can I still get this or do I have to start a new game? Thanks
I'm trying to get the errand boy achievement and I've gotten 3 requests done in one save and 2 done in another but haven't got the achievement. Do you have to do all the requests on one save to get the achievement?
