We broke up end of January. At the start I begged her and she ignored me and treated me like nothing. Finally I went NC about 5 weeks ago.
Anyways last week she sent me a message letting me know that she sent something to my parents and that it was nothing bad. I ignored the messaged, she called. I ignored it and then called again the next day.
Anyways today my parents got the letter. Basically it just goes into detail about how appreciative she was about them and how they treated her and welcomed them into the home and how she will always miss them even though it was "both of our choices to go on separate paths".
I feel like a wound ripped open. We dated for almost 4 years and just out of the blue she decided to ghost me. Never once officially breaking up or saying anything. I feel like I became worthless. And everytime I attempted to rekindle us or get answers she would reject me.
This letter sure is good for my parents, but I think it's like she is trying to undermine me and erase the story I told of her so she walks away being liked. Because that's all she's ever cared about. To the point she threw away our relationship multiple times to do things with fear of being rejected by her friends.

I 33F took my children to see my husband's family for mother's day. My daughter 6f let's call her Letty was playing with my 1yo daughter. My sister in-law asked her if she had wished her grandma a Happy mother's day. Letty responded, "No I have not wished Tammy (fake name) a happy mother's day."
My sister in-law immediately got on to her and told her that was disrespectful. Letty who is a spit fire and is just like my mother in-law much to my and my 35M husbands dislike responds, "I don't know her. She didn't even come to see us when my sister was born but came to see you when you had your baby." My sister in-law goes on a rant that "it doesn't matter she is your grandmother you should respect her." That's when I stepped in and said "Tammy moved away four years ago. Even making her husband fly to see her. She never comes here. We have tired contacting her, inviting her to things she refuses. She sent my husband a letter saying he ruined her life because she had him when she was 16. We then went NC with her for obvious reasons. I will not force my child to respect someone who did not earn her respect."
My sister in-law didn't say a word. She quickly changed the subject as her husband walked in. I figured it was over. Then my husband comes home and asked me what the hell happened. He works at a job that he cannot have his phone. I told him what happened. He calls my sister in-law and reiterates that he will not force his children to have a relationship with his mother, nor will he make them respect her. After an hour long conversation my sister in-law apologized but still insists that I am to blame.
My husband told me from now on when this happens to call him at work. He will handle it. His family has a history of taking things out on me. They know I don't have any family left as my parents and grandparents are all gone and my siblings live states away. He even called my brother to see if he will fly here to go to the family reunion Sunday in case my mother in-law decides to show up after not for 4 years.
So aitah for not correcting my daughter who called her grandmother by her first name when she has not seen her in 4 years.

I have had 138 interviews and over 300 screening calls over this past year. It has become clear that my interviewing skills are not as great as I once thought they were. Both times I have looked for jobs before, I was able to find a new role in under a month. It has been a very humbling experience.
Favorite Story: I got an offer letter for a position I was interviewing for, followed by an apology email an hour later saying that they sent the offer to the wrong candidate.
Notes: I am a Technical PM in a West Coast city. I have 7 years of experience in 2 Fortune 100 companies. My entire team was let go last May. I always ask for feedback, but they have said that I was in the top 2, but the other person was a better fit. I am also under 30, which might be a contributing factor.
Any advice or suggestions how to improve your interviewing skills is welcome!

Crossplay matchmaking has always worked pretty well, but my ps5 bro and I were having some trouble connecting. We tried a bunch of things, and then just set the difficulty to one and went to the same planet and both just joined a random planet with a level 2 player on the easiest difficulty. We drop in, just happy that I was able to connect with my bro at all. And I small talk with the stranger we joined a bit, and I ask if he just started playing, and he said he's just had the game for a week, and I just went 'Well welcome, glad to have you here." And he goes, "what....really, no one's ever welcomed me to a game.' And it just got better from there, he played great and were we able to share some of the higher stratagems weapons and show him some times and tips and tricks, and just freaking wonderful experience with 3 dudes hanging out on the internet. I know there's a lot of noise from just a few grumpies out there, but there's countless kind people who just want to connect but don't have a way to do so. Thanks to all you strangers I've dropped with and will drop with, I look forward to your overly quiet microphones, friendly fire, dropped samples and great times.
Have a cup of libertea on me

I am possibly being made redundant and hoping to better understand the NZ employment law with respect to paid annual leave owed and paid sick leave.
Background: Specifically, I have shy of 4 weeks (156.11 hours) annual leave and 4 weeks paid sick leave (169.50 hours). And 2 month notice period. I understand if I work out my notice period, I accrue additional annual leave holiday leave on both the notice period and the annual leave.
Complication: I am having surgery today and will be issued a letter from the surgeon recommending bed rest for up to 6 weeks. I had only put in 2 days at the time of notifying my direct report (who is also up for redundancy). At the time I verbally mentioned the hospital suggestion for recovery of up to 6 weeks - and that I would apply as necessary nearer the time.
My questions are: 1.0) Does my planned (scheduled/unscheduled) sick leave accrue annual leave? 1.1) If so, am I best to apply for this now before receiving my termination notice (overdue, yesterday) or does this not matter? 2.0) Does my annual leave or sick leave impact my notice period at all?
The outcome I am seeking is to maximise the money I can leave with from this employment. The pay needs to serve as a safety barrier that enables me adequate time to find suitable employment. There's so much uncertainty in the market and I have a large mortgage and two young children under five to provide for.
Any and all advice also welcome and appreciated - even if not specifically answering those questions. I am unsure about anything more than enforcing standard legal rights due to the small place the NZ job job market is - everyone talks.

Hello, I friend of mine got served a reprimand letter at work. They work for one of the banks in Canada. However, the letter is pretty severe for the cause. They are a promising employee with a clean record ans several recognitions in the company.
Do they have to sign it? Can they appeal it? If they end up signing, would that affect their career in the bank or any other employer later on? Do they have to disclose that for future jobs?
Any help is welcome.

For the record, I’m in NYS.
I might be getting ahead of myself as I only received my approval letter today and haven’t received the calculation of my benefit yet, but I’m wondering if anyone has insight on when I can expect to begin receiving Medicare? According to the website, I shouldn’t have to apply but that might only apply to seniors? Also, I’m only getting the approval today but it dates to my “onset date” in spring 2020. So the 2 year wait period started then and has passed? Any information folks have on these sort of tangential benefits to approval would be so helpful! (Welcome all, though Medicare is my biggest concern.)

Preamble: This is based on the Primarch GF’s AU created by u/Sweet_older-sister and will mainly cover what they’ve been doing after the heresy and during 40k.
Disclaimer: This current version is the “good” route so most will be somewhat happy/hopeful but will still be (mostly) canon compliant
What happened
After El’Lenore’s duel against Luther was over, the Brave Warrior aided the Dark Angels in subduing and capturing Luther and led the procession to inter their lover within the Rock. Once that was done, the Brave Warrior was entrusted with being the first warden of the Rock, overseeing the imprisoned Fallen captured after the fall of Caliban and personally guarding Luther’s cell. Several years later, after a conversation with the now mad Luther and the Watchers in The Dark, the warrior wrote down what was discussed onto a journal which was given to the then Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels before departing from the Rock to Holy Terra, before completely disappearing from all official Imperial records. However, during the 34th millennium there was an odd record written by an unknown Interrogator Chaplain of the Dark angels stating that the “Dark Oracle” (the now mad Luther) had repeatedly spoken of a warrior being trained by an old king fishing by the lake surrounded by four shadows.
After ten millennia of disappearance from all records, the Brave Warrior have suddenly reappeared beside the reawakened El’Lenore, acting as her second in command and right hand much like Luther once did before his betrayal while leading the redeemed fallen, now dubbed the Risen alongside Zabriel who acts as the Primarch’s emissary.
Fun Fact: After their reunion in the 41st millennium, the couple can sometimes be seen hunting monsters together on the planet Catachan. According to the Primarch El’Lenore she once mentioned that it reminded her of her childhood and that she considers it to be a “great place for a date” where she and her brave warrior could reconnect and relax together to make up for lost time.

u/Sweet_older-Sister for making the AU a reality

This is my first time writing something like this, I hope you guys enjoy it and any feedback and criticism is welcome.
Moreover, depending on how well this does, there may be more about each of the Primarch’s SOs in the future.
Thank you for reading 😁🙏

I'm struggling. My flair says reconciling, but it's on a low arc and approaching failure. Or maybe it's still false. I don't know.
Married 19 years, together for 25; two teenage children with severe emotional problems coming out of the pandemic.
D-Day was 16 months ago, the night before Thanksgiving. AP was literally an alcoholic unemployed late 40-something living in his mom's basement. They had met at a funeral she hadn't bothered to ask me to go because I wasn't leaving the bed in those days and I'd have said no. The night I discovered his clingy, mooning texts lamenting their inability to spend the holiday together, my life - already a terrible, depressive, lonely black hole of a mess and following the sudden, unnecessary death of a parent on Christmas Day - just imploded.
Upon confrontation after Thanksgiving dinner, the response was the worst in all ways possible. WW was high on limerence, and was fiercely unapologetic. She didn't want to separate but demanded an open marriage. She 'deserved to be happy', and felt good about her having told this unplanned encounter that went from EA to PA in 72 hours that she'd never leave me.
She had eschewed having intimacy for years before this. We had been poor to each other over the years, but I fell off a cliff after our kids faded from the world and my parent died. She was legit shocked and belligerent when I refused, and said that if you pursue this I will have to leave.
We made some temporary agreements (ones she did not keep), and started seeing a counselor. I started IC for the first time in my middle-aged life. We were however 'not aligned', as she'd say. She didnt want to give up her boyfriend, and I refused to stay if he was in the picture. I cringe to think back to how I said, 'you can maintain a friendship if you absolutely must but you must reinvest back into working on our relationship'.
This was a no-go for her for a while. She'd meet him. He'd sleep in her place of business. SHe lent him our car. (He crashed it while drunk, btw.) There was a moment when I had the kids in Puerto Rico, and she returned early for a funeral, and she went to the funeral with him and probably had sex after. Meanwhile I was stuck in an airport, trying to get home after a cancelled flight and just threw lots of money at the problem to curtail the time she had with him. She had in the three month relationship began introducing him to family friends, people who knew me.
With someone living a state away, she somehow managed to squeeze in more sex in 3 months than we'd had together in 10 years. In my mind, she was working on replacing me with AP but didn't want to separate for the sake of our kids.
Come January, she claimed to have decided to break things off. I didn't really believe her. I made a surprise visit to her place of business on a weekend, and found him there asleep on the couch with no pants on.
We had words, and despite being beside myself with rage and grief I was able to take his measure. In many ways, I wish I had met him right after D-Day. It was clear he was a narcissistic dumpster fire with pretensions of intellectuality. There were signs of some bipolar behavior. He made clear his intentions was to stay, and to convince WW to leave me. And he still had our car, and keys to her business site. (We live in a large city and don't need multiple vehicles, or even the one car if I'm honest.)
She realized where I was going due to my phone location and ran after me, but got there after I had 15 minutes with the joker. She asked him to leave, but still let him keep our car. She had no words, which has been a theme throughout our marriage. She can't easily access her feelings or articulate them, and she's afraid to express them for fear of my response. I told her after having met him, noted his instability and his intentions, i said I can no longer accept any contact between them. She reluctantly agreed.
From mid-January through to August followed a sequence of false representation of wanting to work on reconciliation and cycles of lying about not having contact. She was in love with him, she claimed, but seemed to go cold turkey overnight. She neither engaged with me nor took steps to reconcile, but claimed how difficult it was and that she was working on our relationship.
We quit the MC we started to see. We eventually found another several months later. We're still with the 2nd MC. In the meantime began a kind of surreal hellscape life for me, as she would say the barest of minimum things, and usually nothing at all about where she was, how she felt, and what was she willing to do to rebuild our relationship. She took no steps to reassure me, or show she wants me. She would say she did, but simultaneously be cold, distant, and - as i soon discovered - was still in contact with AP.
He gave her a burner phone. I found it within 2 days and threw the brand new phone into the river. Cheaters really need to not let unknown devices onto the home wifi networks of the technically literate. We had it out again, she promised to really try. A few weeks later I found unusual call patterns in our cell account. AP had provisioned a new phone number. Following that blow up was the WhatsApp phase, which really began to take the wind out of my sails.
She expressed no remorse. She was resentful of my 'intrusions into her privacy'. She genuinely thought it would be comforting to hear that the affair had nothing to do with me. She would be visibly annoyed when I asked for confirmations there had been no new contact - and even more so when in retrospect when there had been.
There were at least five discrete cycles of deception. AP escalated by getting five phone numbers and cycling through them. Towards the end, she had hid these numbers as secondary numbers of people they knew in common but didn't regularly have contact with. AP would write texts from the perspective of different personae.
Then there were the people who knew, and of those there were people who fully supported her behavior. There were people who aided and abetted it, lending her their apartments, or hoping she finds some comfort. One particularly egregious one, early on, tried to convince Amanda to really try to convince me to find someone else to be happy in an open arrangement. She's still in regular contact with this person.
The culmination of the PA/EA with the AP happened last summer. He eventually returned the car, but only after he had reclaimed it from the police impound lot. He did not pay for the repairs. Or his tolls when coming to and fro to fuck my WW. I did.
I had been fairly successful in identifying his phone numbers and having them blocked at the carrier level with some gaps in time, and diverting his email and voicemail. During ths period where all his means of contact were being closed soon after being opened, he was starting to rage and unstable. WW upon the latest confrontation (i was pretty calm and matter of fact about it) admitted she could not control her behavior, and didn't understand why she was doing it.
AP was a controlling person, with hints of WW's clinically narcissist parent. He wrote a letter and entered her business after hours to leave it. Because he wrote an email saying he was doing this, I ill-advisedly went there to call the police on him. I didn't find him, but I did find the letter. He knew I had been there - either he had been outside or he went back after I left - and complained bitterly about my interference.
His only means of influence had dropped to emails, and he just kept pounding with the short, imperative statements that described outcomes favorable to him. He had started to convince her that I was a threat to her, and trying to convince her I was a threat to our children (for whom I'd die in fire every day).
His tactical error was trying to play up his inability to contact her as a screen for concern. He tried to get the cops to perform a wellness check. He called WW's sister to convince her I was a threat, and that WW was in danger. (She told him off.)
Finally, he threatened to show up at our door with friends and 'free' her. I knew he owned a shotgun; while I didn't actually think he would show up (he had made smaller-scale threats of this kind before and I only realized they had happened days after his 'deadlines'.) I shared this new development with WW. We had agreed to handle it together. However, while I was out one day, she went to her sister's and called him to tell him she was fine but to never call or contact anyone in our family again. It was a muted, brief exchange. I was angry she hadn't stuck to our agreement.
Since then, he's only made a handful of contact attempts soon after the break that really were more for insulting me. I believe on an intellectual level they have had no contact since last summer. I emotionally continue to not feel safe about her intentions.
Since then, it's been difficult. There have been very limited conversation coming from her outside of the MC sessions, and those have trended light on her content. Very recently, she's expressed more. But it's still seemingly grounded in some unhealthy premises. Amongst them:

1. She at one pointed expressed she regretted the pain she caused, but doesn't regret the experience because (I kid you not) 'she learned so much about herself' and 'many positive elements have come out of it'. (I lost 50 pounds in the first three months post-Dday, and lately I've been hovering around 70. I did have it to lose, having used food to soothe myself over the decade of gaslighting and lack of explanation for her disengagement, and unwillingness to work on it.)
2. She continues to resent my intrusion into her phone call history. She disagrees with the oft-raised best practice of open-phone/account policies. Her feelings around her lack of privacy unsettle her, and get in the way of engaging (she says).
3. she doesn't see the value in 'forcing closeness'
4. she keeps wanting me to 'ratchet it down a notch', but it's not clear what she thinks that means
5. she finds my sadness and pain to be an impediment to rebuilding closeness
6. She claims to have read content about rebuilding marriages after infidelity, but to my knowledge she's done hardly anything to rebuild trust. I said it'd be better if you hadn't read it, because to think that you're walking around having read it but still don't do anything feels worse.
7. She has not taken lead in the reconciliation process, or really done much except endure my periodic/every-2-weeks or so expressions of disappointment and hurt and anger

I'm sure no one has read this far. This is my dilemma. What I'm trying to do here is leave no stone unturned in my efforts to save our marriage. I want to sleep well at night, and I won't be able to do that in a healthy way without going through this.
Yesterday wa the first time she said that he was responsible for destroying my world and my brain, several times over, with the elaborate deceptions (as I'm prone to describing it). I welcomed it and thanked her. But it was only precipitated by a conflict we were having about a mistake I made, where I rubbed her face in my phone snooping by adding unflattering profile pictures to the blocked contacts for the AP. (If they're not there, he could still call her and leave a voicemail when she's on wifi.)
She has had low to middling chronic health issues since April of last year, following her second round with COVID. And if it's not her, it's her parents. Or my surviving parent. Or my brother almost dying. Or the DOL is threatening to reclassify all her contractors as employees. (They should.) Everything just magically seemed to be prioritized over her talking to me.
It's literally, literally been something every other week. She's always tired, always in pain, and I really try hard to stay empathic about it. To hold a space for her. I have taken care of her when she's ill all throughout this horrible time. And she's really appreciative of how well I've supported and cared for her with no promise or signs of reciprocation.
But she still won't have sex with me, and wont talk to me about why she flinches sometimes when I touch her. Or worse, she fakes interest and then I find out otherwise later. Clearly, we have trauma to work through from before the affair. She's not intentionally being cruel. I've expressed remorse over what little she has hinted at, and want to make amends. I love her so much. It's always been my intent to die married to her, and hold our family together.
But it's getting harder to hold onto that empathy. I'm just so tired of feeling hurt, of not having my needs met, and feeling so deeply disrespected in this low-contrition (but maybe trending up) context we're living through.
She seems to evoke a sense in me that everytime I am hurt or express anger, her willingness or energy resets to near zero. Which in and of itself is newly infuriating!
My dilemma is that part of my tenacity in this ridiculous situation that saints would have left three times over already is tied to the idea that by sticking with it and not making it 'easier' for her I'm upholding my self-respect.
But am i? Am I just punishing her by saying I can't let go of my pain until she demonstrates remorse and effort? Being married, a husband and a father of simple small family is a big part of my identity.
It all went to shit a long time ago, but I never checked out. I just didn't understand what was happening, how a wife could treat their partner this way, and I didn't have the maturity or the emotional language to navigate it alone. So I grew resentful and depressed, and just low-level angry all the time. While she would just smile, and say nothing. In public, she'd be affectionate.
In private, it'd be back turned and motionless to my hunger for connection (and release). I turned inward. She, a very social, community-building gem of a human being, checked out and switched to Potemkin mode whenever anyone was looking. I felt like I was constantly being gaslit. Even when I tried to talk about our problems, she'd act as if I had said nothing at all. It was the damnest thing, and I had no words for it.
Maybe she's starting to see the light and be empathic to my pain. But, if that's what's happening, I'm just running out of steam and hope. Hope isn't necessary for me to stay the course, but motivation is beginning to lag.
Any advice?

As mentioned in the title, I reached out to my school office, and they refused to provide a letter of requirement completion (even though I already satisfied the degree requirements last quarter) before they confer my undergraduate degree in the very last days of June. I am afraid I won't get my evidence of educational background before the filing deadline. What should I do? Any advice is welcome!

So, I was fired from my job last month. My new manager (I had four managers in one year) was an incompetent asshole and felt threatened when I constantly fixed her mistakes. I never pointed out these mistakes to anyone else, but she accused me on undermining her. She constantly talked down to me treated me like total shit. She fired me without notice or severance. It was truly a traumatic experience, from which I am still trying to recover.
I’ve been applying to at least 15-20 jobs every day. I either hear nothing or I get the form letter saying they chose another candidate. I’ve had a few interviews, but nothing more. One company asked me to complete an assessment that took me over 8 hours, only to tell me I did a great job, but they have no openings right now. WTF? I’ve sent work samples, given letters of recommendation, etc. I’m starting to think that these companies ask for assessments and work samples so they can turn around and use them themselves! Isn’t that illegal?
This whole process has made me feel so worthless and depressed, to the point where I don’t even want to get out of bed. I’m collecting unemployment, but that hardly covers the bills. I’m watching my savings dwindle every day. I don’t know what else to do. 🥲
