Boyfriend birthday card saying

My boyfriend (20M) and I (23F) have been dating long distance for nearly 2 years now, our anniversary is coming up soon and things have been very difficult recently between us.
I think it started about 2 months ago when he had been trying to convince me to move in with him and his family. I considered it for a while but I ultimately ended up choosing to stay with my family because I'm in college and need the stability that staying with my family offers, and staying with his family has significant challenges of its own. Then he tried to get me to come visit him, but I told him since he didn't have a car yet and we wouldn't be able to do anything on our own without his dad driving us that we should just wait a month or two and visit then. At that point, he said that he would not be moving in with me and my family (which was the original plan since the very beginning before he tried to get me to move in with him) because he didn't want to be around my family. I've told him about fights my family and I have had and he can't forgive them or at least move past it enough to move in anymore even though things are better with my family now than they ever were before. Since then, things haven't been the same.
We'll get into arguments all the time which will result in him threatening the relationship and me trying to piece things back together because it seems like all of this has come out of nowhere during the past two months. He will also be consistently rude to me and act like I'm an annoyance. I have always given him all the love and attention he could ever want, and previous issues he had with me in the beginning are no more now. I've given up on getting any love from him for the moment. But when he's rude to me, I do have to say something about it which is where the arguments are coming from. For example, I jokingly asked him if he liked being in a relationship with me as a way to tell him I wanted him to not do something (i.e. he asked if he should do something and I responded with "well, do you wanna be in a relationship with me?" I would give a specific example but I was so not serious about it, that I don't even remember what it was that he was asking about) and instead of asking for a clarification about my intentions with the statement he just said no. I waited for him to clarify, but he didn't. I ended the call and after a min or two asked him to clarify what he meant and to apologize. Apparently he said he was saying no to me "threatening the relationship", which I then clarified that I wasn't being serious and was just being sassy as a joke. But then he started talking about breaking up again which lead to me crying, trying to piece everything back together again. Things had been fine earlier that day.
Then when I start to accept it finally, he acts like he may have an "idea" that will save the relationship. Most recently he said he needs to lower me on his list of priorities. Which I don't understand because to me, it feels like he has already lowered me on his list of priorities. Apparently he values his recent part time retail job over me and for some reason he can't have both me and the job. He also will complain that he's tired and doesn't want to go to work but he'll accept when he's called in short notice to the point where he'll work all day. And then he'll claim that its me who's holding him back from doing other things he likes like doing yardwork or whatever else he wants to do. I want to be appreciated for my efforts and commitment and I've NEVER held him back from any of those things. I had been encouraging him to get his first job for over a YEAR before he got it. He also doesn't respect that I want him to have a car before I visit and still won't get the car that's been available to him for a while now through his grandpa. All he has to do is put himself on the insurance but he won't do it. He even let his learners permit expire so now he can't take a flight or even drive a car and there's even more steps for him to do at this point to get a car, better himself, and grow up. For the record, I am also not a nag. I haven't asked him to do ANYTHING other than just respect me as a human for 2 months.
When I ask him why he wants to break up its always a new reason and when I ask him to elaborate on the reason he says "I don't know". He doesn't know why he thinks we're not compatible anymore. He doesn't know why he wants to be single. He doesn't know what he learned from this relationship even though he claims that "maybe this was just a stepping stone for us to learn". He doesn't know anything but he still acts like he wants to go through with it.
I'm so tired of all of this, but it feels like such a waste to break up because this bad stuff hasn't been happening for very long. I feel like if he was more in touch with his emotions about moving in and visiting, he wouldn't be in this place mentally. Plus when we visit we're sooo happy together. We HAD been so happy together for the vast majority of the relationship up until around this time. But there's nothing I can do for him anymore to make him realize our relationship is worth saving. I've been holding onto the future of this relationship for SO long and have put a LOT into it, both emotionally and financially (long distance is expensive). I just don't want it to end because he can't deal with his emotions and can't treat me with respect just out of the blue. It doesn't make any sense to me and I'm having a really hard time accepting it. I worry he may end up regretting it down the line. I think that I'm a very good partner and have a lot of good qualities. I've improved myself a lot in this relationship too. I don't know why he'd want to be single instead. Literally everyone I've talked to has told me to break up with him. It's just so hard to divest my energy this quickly. I don't feel prepared. I don't think he's going to realize what he had until its gone for good. It's just so hard for me to give up on this. Please let me know what I should do about this terrible situation.
TLDR; My long-distance relationship of nearly 2 years hit a rough patch. Initially, our plan was for him to move in with me, then my boyfriend wanted me to move in, which I considered but backed out on for school and family reasons. Arguments and rudeness escalated. He's indecisive about breakup reasons. Despite advice from others, I'm struggling to accept a potential breakup. I've invested a lot emotionally and feel unprepared to end it.

About a month ago, I 20F, was on facetime with my boyfriend 21M, looking at some photos of my friends and saw a picture of my friend's boyfriend. Casually, I mentioned to my boyfriend, "Oh, he kind of looks like you." I thought it was just a harmless observation, but my boyfriend got really defensive and immediately responded, "No, he doesn’t."
I didn't think much of it at the time, but today, out of the blue, my boyfriend brought it up again. He said, "You really pissed me off that day when you said that guy looks like me. That guy is ugly, and you compared me to him."
I was taken aback by how strongly he felt about it, so I tried to clarify by saying, "No, he's not ugly." This seemed to make my boyfriend even angrier, and he got really upset because I defended the other guy's appearance.

So I’m almost 38 weeks so I’m almost at the finish line, and I understand family are excited but oh my god I’m annoyed. I get asked daily multiple times by my boyfriend’s parents how I’m feeling and if the baby is moving. I feel the same as I do every other day and you constantly asking me isn’t going to bring this baby out any earlier. If I had signs of labor I would say something like why wouldn’t I no need to constantly ask. And my bf dad asks me every morning how I’m feeling and tells me I look tired after 9 hours of sleep. Like I am fine I slept fine thankfully I know some women have it way worse in my stage but I’m okay! Like if I look like shit and I look tired I can’t help it no need to remind me. And it makes me so mad when they ask to make sure the baby is moving like yes bro if she wasn’t I would go to the hospital and you would be aware.

Received $162 worth of dental services back in February of this year, where I paid the cost with a credit card that same day. I had some issues with receiving my refund from my insurance the last time I saw them, but that was because they billed it to Aetna instead of the correct WebTPA provider. I was assured that it was sent to WebTPA this time, and didn't give it any further thought and expected my check in the mail, as was provided last time.
It's been just under three months since this dental appointment and I have yet to receive anything at all in the mail. All I've received is an itemized receipt of the services that were covered by my plan. I have asked the dental office what's going on, and they said that they immediately mailed the necessary things immediately after my dental services were performed, and WebTPA says they never received anything. So I asked them to again, and still nothing. At that point (in April) I just asked for an itemized receipt myself and submitted the claim. WebTPA says they have gotten that claim and paid out the check and it was sent to the dentist (why???) and cleared THEIR bank, and the dental office says they are having it processed to me through their larger office in Nashville (or WebTPA's offices, I have no idea at this point) and should be in my mailbox within three weeks. This whole conversation happened on April 22nd, so it's been over three weeks now, and still nothing.
What am I supposed to do at this point? Is there any way to ensure I get my $162 back that my insurance is supposed to cover? Right now it just seems like both sides are playing games with me and pointing the finger of blame at one party or the other.

Hi everyone!! I’ve always wanted to share this story because I still have not found an explanation too it but it’s interesting. Anyways!! A couple of months ago I was staying at my boyfriends house. We were in his room getting ready for bed & I got up to turn the light off. As I turned my head I saw a rosary that was glowing in the dark. & it was glowing BRIGHT. I had been with my boyfriend for about 2 and 1/2 years at the time & I never once saw that rosary glow. EVER. So I ask him “when did you put that rosary there?” & he tells me it’s always been there. So whatever I go to sleep and I do not think anything of it. During this time my dad was in Mexico visiting his nephews bc his sister had just passed away. I live with my parents, so the next day I went back home & my mom was there. So I tell her the story about the rosary because she’s very religious & all she says is you should call your dad and tell him that. So I did. & he told me that the same night he too had seen a glowing rosary. But there was no rosary anywhere in the room where he was staying. He saw it shining on the wall. I was in major disbelief. I wish I would’ve touched it or something! After that night I have never seen that rosary glow in my boyfriends room. Has anything like this ever happened to anyone else?

So my card had declined and now everytime I try to re do my subscription it says “suspended “ Any idea how to fix it?

I don’t have a great relationship with my mum and sister mainly because of the negligence they had towards me growing up and their lack of acknowledgment as well.
Both my mother and sister have mental health issues that were displayed pretty openly throughout my childhood which made the focus on them pretty much 100% of the time. I don’t want to go to deep into the details but whenever they’d had their moments with each other and argue or have problems regarding their mental health, drugs, alcohol, suicide I’d always be the one taking care of them. I was the one holding the house hold together, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the pets, I was always a emergency contact if something went wrong with them in a medical emergency since I was a teenager. I never got a thanks or a check in from them if I was ever okay, if I even mentioned I was struggling as well with how overwhelmed I felt mentally I’d be called selfish.
Now as an adult they’re more aware of there treatment towards me but I can’t say I’ve received a proper honest to god apology or effort from the both of them. Now that I’m older and have my own place, if I don’t use my energy to bond with them they look down on me for neglecting to contact or connect with them, which I feel is unfair considering that was never the dynamic and if anything it should be the other way around since growing up I did my best to connect with them.
This brings me to my boyfriend and friends. My sister and mum aren’t bad people they just weren’t amazing towards me, even though they’ve improved dramatically I still feel a lot of resentment towards them.
I always felt weird whenever my boyfriend or friends would interact with both my sister and mum almost to a point were it’s actually a friendship and they’re asking to hang out as a group when they kind of know my feelings towards my family. I don’t want to hold the past against my family but I don’t feel comfortable with the relationship my friends and boyfriend build with my family. I almost feel them questioning me on why I’m not okay with my family when externally my family have good personalities.
I’m almost honestly starting to feel resentful of my friend’s and partner for this but I don’t want to sound bitter cause I’m already kind of becoming distant with them. I wouldn’t even know how to bring it up, to me it sounds a bit pathetic saying I’m unhappy with the good relationships you’re forming with my family. How do I resolve these feelings?

i am an 11 year old girl in 5th grade i got an account to say this and for asvice and then delete it. today i had a horrible day and so i decided to tell my boyfriend and we will call him grant for privacy purposes and i love grant, but today because of my bad mood and day i had i told him about it and my personal feelings and i specificly said for him to not say womp womp or "L" because i was showing how i truely felt and guess what he did. he said womp womp. then "imagine" and right after a bunch of "L" and what made matters worst he got his friend to come up to me and say womp womp so i left him on delievered (i saw them in my pop up notifacations) until 5pm because i told him abt my day right after we got put of class and dismissed. then he friend ask if i was mad at him which i kind of was because he did the opposite of what nicely ask him not say and i wanted to cry right then and there because i love him but why would he act this way to impress his friends? anyway am i in the wrong for doing this i havent texted him at all today. after this incident and i really dont want him to break up with me. please can you guys give me advice on what to do

Hi all,
So I have made the move to support work, I'm part of a team that supports 4 middle aged men in a house with different disabilities. After a 14 year career in IT I have had enough of making money for other people and have made a move to the most meaningful work I could think of.
As I'm starting out, am on the basic basic wage, I should have my level 2 in next couple of months and I'm going to apply for my level 4 through open polytechnic too.
Just wondering if anyone else has any tips or tricks to either save money (is there a community services card or anything like that) and any tips for working in the industry? I'm still not sure which way I'm going to go, not sure disabilities is my passion, maybe mental health and addiction or end of life care. Really not sure.
It has been a bit of a rollercoaster to get me here but I have to say, the feeling I have when I get home is very different to the feeling I have after a day in a corporate office, I have a calmness I have not really felt before. It is very early days and that might change but so far, feeling pretty good.
Thanks in advance

Seeing as the housing app for first years is due tomorrow, I thought I would talk about my experience living in Foothill this past school year!
Some background about me, I just finished my first year, I am intended Computer Science, and I was living in a double in a mini-suite at Foothill.

• First and foremost, Foothill is on the North side of campus and it is quite literally at the top of a hill, so probably the biggest thing, prepare for a lot of stairs and walking (since Foothill is far from everything, especially South side); It was hell in the summer because it was so hot and on top of that I had to climb up all those stairs. Foothill is technically the closest dorm to campus since you just have to cross the street and you're on campus (closest buildings are Hearst Memorial Mining and Evans), and buildings like Soda and Sutardja Dai hall are really close, but it’s far from buildings like Wheeler or Dwinelle, which is where the majority of my classes were at.
• Laundry: I'm not 100% sure about this but I'm pretty sure the laundry room is for everyone at Foothill which is like 5 buildings so it can get really busy, especially since there's always at least one broken washer or dryer. At the beginning of the year, I planned to do laundry Sundays but I guess that’s a common day it would be busy like all day, but I think that’s also just how it’s like at the beginning of the year
• Dining Hall: Apparently it’s the best dining hall?? That’s what the streets say and I would somewhat agree it’s sometimes the better of dining halls. I think my top dining halls are Foothill and cafe 3. There's really good Mexican food like once every two weeks but it’s usually hit-or-miss
• Rec room: has a piano, pool table, and ping pong. Sometimes RA's will host events there and the Foothill association this year but some great events there with free food
• Gym: Foothill has a small gym, it has 2 treadmills, one bike machine, one stair master, one leg press, one chest press, and one for pull-ups. It’s pretty small, I usually go to rsf, the main gym. It's about a 15-minute walk from Foothill if you’re a slow walker like me or probably closer to 10ish minutes if ur a fast walker or tall. Students automatically get in the gym with their cal 1 card which you just scan to get in.
• Greek theatre: Foothill is right next to the Greek theatre (which is a concert venue), and throughout the year quite a few people performed there, the only ones I remember are Flume and Daniel Caesar. Apparently Lana Del Rey has also performed there before. It can get really loud, like you can basically hear everything, which is kinda nice if it’s someone you like, but it can sometimes get annoying. If you close your windows though it does somewhat block the sound out
• Social life: It's really quiet (except when there are concerts at the Greek Theatre) and I feel like it’s definitely not as social as the units which is personally why I didn't really like Foothill. Southside (where the units are) embodies college town since people are out all the time and it’s a very lively environment with a lot of food and boba places and such, while Northside is wayyy more quiet and nothing really goes on over here. There's a small little food court nearby with Indian food, Subway, Korean corn dogs, aaand I think 2 other places that I forgot but that’s pretty much it. There's also a Mexican restaurant and frozen yogurt further down the hill but that's all

Overall, I'd rate it like a 5/10. if you're really introverted, like it quiet, and enjoy nature a lot, then Foothill is great for you, if not, then definitely go for the Units. Let me know if yall have any other questions ab Foothill life or Berkeley life in general!

My baby just hit the 6 month mark yesterday (his half year birthday). He’s been sleeping horribly for the past 3 nights - waking up often when before he would only wake up one time to feed. Could this really be a sleep regression? He has his two bottom teeth already (although not entirely out but I would say maybe 40% out) but his sleep has been so broken. He has a hard time falling back asleep once he partially wakes and he never did have trouble before. Help. Anyone else been thru this?

I made this expansion a while ago and I am thinking about printing it out soon for fun, but before I commit to that I wanted to get some thoughts on the expansion pack and if you think any of the cards are too weak, too strong, badly implemented, etc.
The main issue with alchemy (at least in my opinion) is that the potion is poorly implemented and it is almost never worth buying a potion. Most games will at most have 1 alchemy card and it is hard to justify clogging a deck slot with a potion, just to purchase that one card. So that was my main goal making this expansion pack: To make potions more interactive and worthwhile to pickup. One of the main ways I did that was making cards reliant on potions, to add more cards to the supply from alchemy.
My biggest challenge in balancing my cards was this: A potion is worth 2.3 gold in theory but you are unable to buy provinces with potions. So it is probably worth a little bit less than that. I tried to treat it as each potion is worth 2 gold. However you would still probably rather have 6 gold than 3 potions (as there are still other cards in the supply that don't cost potions). So maybe a potion is only worth 1.5 gold (you see what I am saying it is hard to balance).
Let me know what you think.
Note: Definitely made some mistakes with grammar or capitalizations or wording issues but don't focus on that, I will fix those before I print.
Edit This is actually 1/4

I bought a cheap laptop for some old school gaming, I’ve got a laptop and it’s running “AMD ryzen 5 -7520u quad core processor”
But at the Graphics section it just says “AMD Radeon” Shared graphics card.
I can’t see on google just talking about “amd radeon” all the results show “AMD Radeon 6600 or 4060 or whatever.
So my question is how can I check what equivalent I have as it simply says “AMD Radeon” ?
Hope that makes sense.

i physically cannot talk about my feelings. this has been a problem my entire life, but it's been made apparent by some recent events. i know that part of the reason is ptsd from child abuse, it's given me a crippling fear of crying around others (especially men). but, for example, i trust my boyfriend with literally anything in my life. if i gave him my credit card for a week i know he wouldn't use it even once, and i've cried around him dozens of times in our 7 months together. but still i simply cannot share (almost) any of my feelings with him (i've discussed and cried over my experiences with gender dysphoria with him, but that's about it). i have a psychiatrist, and the most i've expressed to her is things i know could be solved/helped with medication. recently she's discussed referring me to a therapist, which i agreed with after multiple appointments suggesting it, really just so she would stop bothering me about it because i know i would never be able to share anything with a therapist. i can't even tell my mom anything that's wrong with me. i can't just turn to google because it just says that it's because i feel like i won't be taken seriously or whatever and i know for a fact that it's not the reason.
i don't know if this counts as asking for medical advice, i know that's against the rules but i just want some kind of answer. thank you for reading if you did.

Hi all,
Was playing a precon game on SpellTable, both myself and another newbie both made it to the end.
There we're a lot of cool interactions I guessed my way through. But the last turn was especially confusing as we we're basically new to MTG and we're questioning everything. So any advice would be helpful!
Board State
Player 1 - 11 Life

• Anhelo, the Painter
• Parnesse, the Subtle Brush
• Puppeteer Clique

Player 2 - 15 life

• Thieving Amalgam
• Basic Land (2/3 Face Down) (Manifested from Opponent Deck)
• Willbender (Face Down)
• Bane of the Living (Face Down)
• Secret Plans

Last Turn

1. Player 1 casts Damnable Pact with X = 9
2. Player 1 Triggers Anhelo, the Painter to duplicate Damnable Pact. Both Spells Target Player 2.
3. Player 2 morphs Willbender. Changing target of one Damnable Pact back to Player 1.
4. Stack Resolves
5. Each Player loses 9 Life and draws 9 cards
6. Player 2 loses an additional 4 life due to Parnesse, the Subtle Brush
7. Player 1 & 2 both at 2 Life
8. Player 2 morphs Bane of the Living with X = 3
9. Basic Land (Face Down) is destroyed. Dealing 2 damage to Player 1

So for the questions

1. Would Willbender change the both the target of Damnable Pact and the target of the copy?
2. Does Thieving Amalgam target? It says, "It's Owner takes 2 damage"
3. What all did we do wrong?

So this is a bit of a long story... I have a boyfriend who does photography.. I have no problem with photography I love it but the thing is he takes many photos of women.. like mostly women. We usually sit outside and he captures photos of whoever comes by woch I'm okay with but the problem is when it's a group of people or a bf and gf he picks the girl to take photos of... We use to go out and people watch and take photos of that sort but I thought it was innocent just capturing people and weird outfits etc. but I saw on his computer he has categories for these girls "cute" "hot" "sexy" Wich honestly I'm not comfortable with and it just makes the whole thing seem strange. I went through his camera (yes I know I shouldn't be going through people's things) but I just found photos of women.. he says i just don't understand what he sees in the photos and just think he's a creep and honestly yes I do think he's being very creepy and immature.. I think he gets some sort of sexual factor out of it and it pleases him in some odd way. He always says he's not doing anything wrong and that's it's legal. Yes I know it's legal but that doesn't mean it's not creepy and out right weird and disrespectful to me.. we get into arguments about it sometimes and he brings up how I was okay with it but the only reason I was was bcs I thought it was innocent. But after seeing those categories I don't think so anymore. Am I crazy and over reacting . Anyone else find this strange ? Any photographers think this is weird ?

life honestly sucks without a dad. it isn’t worth it. My father isn’t exactly present and I’ve never had someone to teach me the basics a father would teach. I guess you could say I have “daddy issues” or whatever. I’m not good at a lot of things, I tend to get distant when I’m mad and I’m trying to overcome it. As weird as it sounds I feel a father figure would fix all my problems. But I don’t have that. I have a miserable mother that is the entire reason I don’t have a father to look up to. “fatherless” jokes really aren’t funny at all. And as much as I hate it I feel like I’m age regressing. All I want is to be a little girl with a father again but that will never happen. My birthday is soon and I hate growing up. I’ll probably be dead by the time my birthday comes around and for good reason. No one needs a shitty person like me around. My birthday is in three hours i cant do this anymore. i have no one too spend it with, this is my first birthday i have to spend without my grandmother. How can i be surrounded by people yet feel so lonely? Too many memories and thoughts are coming back at the worse time and it hurts.

Lets start with this. I do not use credit cards. Period, end of discussion.
Lets say I wanted to go to Egypt on a 10k-20k Nile cruse. Or to the Maldives. Possibly a 30k trip between airfare and lodging and extras.
What is the best method I use to pay for something like this when my debit card has only a $2500 a day limit?
