Bc Partners Puns

Is there something that you didn’t like before meeting your partner but you started to like it because of them?

The pandemic isn’t the only reason nurses are leaving the profession, burnout is real in healthcare, just like in fortune 500 companies.

I want to start off this piece by saying, it does not address the issue of addiction and its effect on health care. This piece is also not directed at any individual/s, hence why I mention no names, but I do provide insight from an outsider with direct connections to nurses in and out of the field. This is not a singular problem, and as such does not have a singular solution, what it does require is active buy in from all stakeholders.

“While trying to assist a patient who was just brought in, he tells me to “fk” off and then calls me a “C*” and spits on me. I often wonder if I am extra on a horror movie, but then I remember that I am not that lucky. This is yet another manic Friday night in the VGH emergency room, one of the biggest trauma hospitals in BC, where we are yet again short staffed. “

This and many other, are just some of the horrific stories my partner and all her coworkers tells me. When she gets home from a 12-hour shift, exhausted, disgruntled, she just wants to sleep. She is overworked, over tired, beyond stressed and her love for the profession has all but gone. But the reason is not the job, its two-fold, bad hospital management policies, lack of strick nonviolence enforcement and the other is the patients (some not all). She has been a nurse for 10+ years, but this is not what she had in mind when she decided to go into nursing. She, like most others who chose health care, did so with the best of intentions, and that was to help people. She naively thought that she could make a difference, to really help people and to provide care for her patients in their time of need. But for her and many other, that view very quickly changed, as you see the system is broken and it has been for a while. The pandemic isn’t the reason why nurses are leaving, they are leaving because the working conditions have become such that the toll that the job has on their psyche has become unbearable.

You see the pandemic has just pushed more nurses beyond what they are willing too or should ever have to deal with. Health care, in its current state in BC, is the only profession where violence, whether physical or verbal, is not only acceptable but has become the norm. I have been fortunate to take jobs in many different industries across the globe, and I can tell you that not one, has the acceptance level for violence and

Well boy, do I have a fun story to share! I went to a Christmas village with my SO last night and he has the AUDACITY to get upset when I didn’t want to get spiced hot chocolate with him. He very frustratingly stated “it won’t mess with your ic” 🥴🥴🥴 I had to find god in that moment to not make a scene and swiftly take him out with my small, delicate hands. Babe was really out here about to ruin date night bc I won’t drink death by chocolate.

Anyways, point of the story is people really don’t understand the pain we go through and are so quick to jeopardize our health for a good time.

Also, I love my SO, he just says really stupid shit sometimes lol

These have been the worst few weeks of my (23F) entire life. I've lost my home, and my best friend (23F) of almost 20 years. It feels like a bad dream I can't wake up from.

I've only been in abusive relationships. Then, I met Ken (19M). Within a few weeks, Ken has shown me love that I've never known before. They tell me how much they love my body. Kiss my stomach. They make sure I eat three meals a day. They're patient, they're kind. They've helped me greatly with my depression and my eating disorder. They're healing wounds from my past abusive relationships. They wanted to get to know my best friend, because they know how important she is to me. That's where it all started.

When Ken came over, they would always try to find a way to include my best friend. Whether it be a board game, or video game, they would invite my best friend to play with us. When they would make food, they'd offer it to my best friend. They were always respectful.

A few weeks ago, my best friend came to me and said she wanted to end the lease. I was devastated. I asked her why, and she told me these were her reasonings:

1. Ken cleaned our kitchen.
2. Ken went out on the front porch to have a cig.
3. When I first brought Ken over, they gave her and her boyfriend a "thumbs up" before they went into my bedroom with me. They said it was "extremely suggestive".
4. Ken offered her turkey bacon. They didn't know she was vegan. (My best friend told me specifically that she never gets offended if someone offers her meat, but, this one time, she did.)
5. Ken "made a face" when my best friend and her boyfriend told them they didn't have any bleach to clean the kitchen.
6. One time, Ken and I were sitting in the living room, eating dinner. My best friend and her boyfriend went to look for a piece of clothing in my room. Her boyfriend is weird about people seeing his underwear. Ken had done my laundry, and I thought I might have seen a piece of their clothing. We offered to help them find it. They said no, we respectfully backed off. During the conversation about the lease, they said it was extremely disrespectful of us to try to help.

She told me, "I've known nice people like Ken. Then, they turned out to not be nice." She absolutely refuses to talk to my partner at all about these issues, although my partner is completely open to having a conversation with her.

My best friend compared the living situation (as stated above) to living with her abusive parents. She's said so many thing

I am 25F and I realized I was balding, so I ordered minoxidil. My bf saw them and asked me why I bought them……I am so mortified and I hate myself. Does it make your partner look less attractive if you realized she was balding? I noticed he was looking up minoxidil on reddit, and I think he knows I am upset so he isn’t talking about it, but I want to die :(

Edit: Thanks for the encouragement and advice! Really really helped me cope with my newfound insecurity. I literally found out my hair part was widening and I had a cowlick, so I was still going through the initial stage of sadness when this thing happened.

I didn’t hide minoxidil, I just had it shipped to the place I was living with my bf, and he received it when I wasn’t there. That’s how he found out lol! I took pride in my hair so I really didn’t want him to know I was losing hair.

Oh! And no need to be jealous, he knows what it is lol. He is the one who told me to see derm first to get blood test before using minoxidil cauz it's lifetime commitment. He was just reading about minoxidil cauz he didn’t know it was a thing for women. Turns out he is a great guy and was questioning me because he thought I bought it for him lol ( I got the men 5%).

I have struggled with nightmares my whole life, and had bouts of sleepwalking when I was younger. Never anything dangerous and would often end up in my siblings room or go back to my own bed. I struggle with anxiety and depression and definitely have experienced trauma the past couple of years (im 25 now, f). I have also started to cry or yell out on my sleep, although usually even when I scream in my dreams it doesn't sound the same as a normal scream out loud. It's almost more strangled. at least thats what my partner tells me. My partner usually wakes me up once I started kicking or hitting, and is really helpful in telling me I am safe, etc. I know when that happens that in my dream there was someone torturing/fighting me which explainsthe kicking. I also tend to wake up every hour and a half or so whether its to use the bathroom or just randomly. I take an antidepressant (Zoloft) and Suboxone. I tend to sleep better during the day for some reason, and rarely experience nightmares then. Any advice besides going to a sleep specialist? I know our bodies are supposed to be immobile while sleeping so how is this happening to me? Would love some suggestions, and or others experiences. Thanks :)

I got with someone who I’d known a while, grown to Trust … no idea the hell on its way

They work as independent contractor- offered to renovate my property

Long story short - for months I have had things piled up “to do” in my property, I cannot even open windows or move around

I am disabled!

I felt it was bc I was in a relationship with him that he wasn’t prioritising me and so I said no I would prefer to pay, I don’t want favours

Promises promises… none ever kept.

He has appliances, worktops, screws, switches and hinges in HIS possession. He has never given ME the receipts despite I’ve asked SO many times

The way he has stacked things - to get someone else to even begin to have a clue to figure out how to start or what to do - he’s made it pretty much so only “He” can do it

Icing on the cake tho - he gave me an STD after lying about him having tested which led to my hospitalisation for over ten days (my disability has responded badly, it’s not a normal reaction but it’s happened to me) and I have permanent scarring and my mobility and pain levels will be affected long term

Oh and he’s still not returned some money I lent for parking tickets (minor to rest but…)

Is there ANYTHING I can do?!

Title sums it up. I went into our bedroom while he was in the bathroom on his phone. I asked him if he wanted to shag, and he scoffed. Confused, I said his name 3 times all whilst he's scrolling through Facebook videos not saying a word or even looking in my direction. I return to our living room just blankly staring at our bookshelf. He comes into the living room 20 minutes later all chipper. He asked me what was wrong, I told him and he states he doesn't remember any of that. I was 6 maybe 7 feet away from him previously. When he said he didn't remember. I sternly told him that this had happened on more than one occasion and it just got to me.

He got upset by my words and went into our bedroom and fell asleep. It's been 3 hours since. I went into the bedroom to try and wake him up because I love him and this is dumb. Nope, he told me to go away and to leave him alone while calling me a asshole. I cried a little, came back to the living room and here I am. Don't know why I'm posting this but I had to get it out someplace.

I’m 23 and my partners 25, we live together out of home with a dog (Labrador x ridgeback) he got before we were together. We’ve been together about 3 years and after both getting out of toxic relationships we’ve been able to work on ourselves with each other. We’ve been so good for eachother, and he’s been so supportive of me as I work through issues related to my depression and a panic disorder (given to me by my Nmom) This is honestly someone I can see myself marrying and it’s something we’ve talked about. The problem is there aren’t many jobs where we live especially for me (I’m a 3d generalist/game design major) so we have talked at length about moving from the west coast of Australia to the east coast.

Obviously there’s lots more context behind it but I’ll try keep it to just what’s relevant. My parents moved over east for a similar reason and they’ve been trying to get me to move for years and my excuse has always been uni, but now I’m due to graduate they are really putting the pressure on. They have offered to help us out as much as they can, but a lot of their help comes with the condition that we get rid of the dog bc my mom thinks it will be ‘too hard’ or in her words ‘ ludicrous and insane’. I know its bc if we keep the dog we wont be able to stay with them when we move bc they have 3 cats but my mother is carrying on like there’s no other option. She also pushed me at one point to just end things with my partner bc ‘it’ll be painful at first but it will be worth it’ when really i know its bc she wants me to be closer to her. We have other friends over east and there are lots of other people in our lives who are going to help us, but my parents are making me feel insane and deluded for believing that my partner and I can move across with our dog and do it together as a family.

I think that it would be a challenge but not impossible if we play our cards right, and both of us have no intention of getting rid of our dog because she is a massive part of our lives.

But no reason I give my parents is good enough, I even got a fast food job recently to pay for the move and all my parents could say when I told them was that I was stupid and wasting my time. Unfortunately my mom is also the kind of person who despite COVID would fly over and rock up at my house if I ever told her to leave me alone, so I have to navigate them for the sake of my own sanity.

My mom has gaslit me for a long time into believing that I don’t know what I’m doing, sh

Hi all, hoping for a bit of direction here. I was in a nasty, abusive relationship about ten years ago (2011-2012). We lived together. He had significant substance abuse issues (alcohol and cocaine), in addition to massive financial debts. During the last six or so months of being together, his substance abuse issues became much worse, and it resulted in me being assaulted and sexually assaulted on a number of occasions in our home. When I left, I just got out as quickly as possible, and wanted to bury the whole thing, so I never reported it. I’ve told a number of friends about it since, but have always thought that it is too late to press charges without any hard evidence. I’ve had anxiety and rocky relationships since, and I can say almost without a doubt that this clown is the reason why.

Anyways, it’s now 2021, and it came to my attention that he is being charged with assault and sexual assault from an incident back in August of this year. His next hearing is tomorrow, but may be limited access. I know that there is no statute of limitations to being a piece of shit, and I want this guy to held accountable for his actions, in addition to his current pending charges. Is there any way to get the ball rolling nine years later, or am I SOL? Any advice is much appreciated!

My (22 Amab) partner (21F) has been feeling really insecure lately and texted me this message a few days ago:

“I think I’ve been trying to really suppress this for a while and not admit it to myself because I feel ashamed but I think it does make me feel insecure that you’re bi. I don’t know if I always feel it but I think I really do right now. You don’t have to do anything with this or say anything.”

I felt fine when she sent it originally and took it as just insecurities as she is a pretty insecure person in general, but it’s kinda started to nag on me. She is friends with a bunch of lesbian and bi women, and I don’t think she is particularly homophobic or biphobic (at least not in her friendships).

Likely it is just feelings of insecurity and inadequacy manifesting in this way, and maybe the remedy is just more reassurance and affirmations on my behalf. I’m not sure though, and I don’t want this to create a rift between us. She is a really awesome person, and I don’t want to lose her.

Does anyone have any advice for how to healthily deal with partners with internalized homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia?

Tried something like a wedge pillow so you the guy can stand while the girl lays higher on the edge of the bed, but it didn't work very well. any other suggestions
