How is your first day going?
I feel for people who need to pay rent, mortgages, expenses, the $300 a week doesn’t seem like much, maybe there is a list of links and contacts we have as individuals that may help others find supports that are not well publicized.
(Edit: many local Health Unit websites have links to services and supports both health and financial related for people affected by Covid here is a link to a list of Local Health Units) (United Way Ontario list)
Was finishing off from work at 1am in the morning and rode my bike home, it had started to snow as I was at work and by the time I finished it was about 1 inch thick, rode it slowly and steadily home and just as I’m about to turn into my driveway to put her in the garage the rear tyre slides out and in a split second the bike fell on its left side on top of my leg and foot. Naturally I grabbed onto the handle bars as I went down and Rev bombed the f*ck out of my bike at 1am in front of all the neighbours houses… great.
Looks like I’ve damaged (bent) the gear lever and/or something more, we’ll see in the morning…
Shoveled a pathway to the driveway and pushed her uphill into the drive, I’ll post a few photos of the gear lever in the morning.
So I've been bed sharing with a COVID positive toddler for the past 3 nights (0/5 stars. Would not recommend), and ... well, you can read the title.
I figured it's an appropriate thing to post here on r/harshthingsthathappenedtomeat1am.
This seems insanely short but my exgirlfriend and I were "officially broken up" for about a week (basically since Christmas Eve) and my family and core friends know about the breakup and why.
This morning she called my mom (my mom doesn't delete contacts, there was a very vile man in our lives and she still has his contact info because "it could be a useful asset one day") and since my ex never called my mom while we were together I assumed it was serious.
She was tearful and spoke to me about regretting her overreaction to the Christmas Eve gift. She had some time to think and talk with her family (who all called her immature) and realized that she wanted me. Here's the flip side, when things are good, life is perfect but there are bad sides to her and harmful (to everyone) things beneath the surface that I've asked her to fix and she's rejected. But I think if we can fix these issues, like actually fix them, this could work.
The first question I asked (thanks Reddit) was "did you have any rebound sex in that week?" She said no, so I said to her- "you hurt me really badly. I know I haven't been the perfect boyfriend and have hurt you in the past too. Are you sure this is what you want?" She said yes. So I said, if it's not too much to ask for, there are some things I think we can do to make this run better-
-
Act like this is the start of our relationship, let's remove the baggage of the past (she holds onto grudges) but remember our mistakes and work on them together.
-
Let's take each other's suggestions to heart and put in a genuine effort to improve ourselves because it not only makes us better but makes the relationship stronger.
-
Let's actually talk the big issues out instead of using sex as a tool to avoid tough conversations. I'd also like to go to counseling to try and talk out our issues with a mediator present.
That's all I ask for to get the ball rolling. She said she needs to think if she's capable and said we'll talk later. Am I being unreasonable about my demands? I also have a personal condition of "if she continues to be the way she is, I have to end it ASAP for my own sanity".
Opinions? Am I being excessive? Am I being over the line? Do I have any right to ask for these things?
E: If she refuses a single one of my requests and just wants to restart where we left off, that's a hard no for me.
Ex2: No, we're not going to do it. She "agreed" to my conditions and emphasized that I'm making conditions for only myself. She saw that

I'm sure the quote has been butchered a bit as I'm operating off of a vague memory of when my own father uttered it. He couldn't recall the source, and I'm not able to find it online.
