So I am a 12th grade commerce student with maths and I am most definitely going to get compartment in maths this yr. Now my doubt is when does compartment result come out? Because I am giving CUET soon and I am scared that the compartment will interfere with my college admission. Please someone tell me how it will proceed or what will happen.

Kismet unleashed a veritable supernova of destruction. The surrounding air ruptured with condensed mana, instantly expanding to three times the size of a Living Bomb explosion. It was magic that could have ended cities, all-powerful and supreme, an encapsulation of the gods' superiority over lesser forms of life.
Rob cast ten Rampages in one-tenth of a second and barreled straight through. He exited out of the opposite side with a moderate sunburn.
Thanks for the tan! PURGE DIVINITY.
Kismet howled with pain as he desperately teleported away. Rob had managed to graze the god before he escaped. In that brief moment, Purging light savaged his body, causing it to bubble and warp like water left to boil for too long.
Got plenty more where that came from. Rob continued his chase without pause, turning on a dime and blasting towards Kismet's latest position. He was already infusing his fists with the aura of Purge Divinity.
Unlike when he'd fought the Second Will, he felt comfortable expending his energy stores. Back then, every drop of energy had been sacred. He'd known that his full capacity still wouldn't be enough to slay the Blight. Even his successful attacks had just been grim reminders of how screwed they all were.
Several factors were different this time. For starters, Kismet's nature as a creature of mana made him far more susceptible to Purge Divinity. While the Second Will had disadvantaged itself in multiple ways by incarnating into the mortal realms, one benefit it'd gained was that a physical body acted as insulation against Purging energy. Flesh was almost like protective shielding, making it harder to reach the core of divinity that lay within.
But Kismet was all mana, no meat. In this scenario, that was the same as a Vanguard engaging in battle without armor. So even though Rob's energy stores hadn't increased since killing the Blight, he was getting more bang for his buck, shredding divine mana with the ease of crumpling dry leaves.
It also helped that Rob didn't need to use Purge Divinity defensively. Battling the Blight had been more about surviving than winning, especially before the gods supercharged him with mana. The Second Will possessed an extensive variety of ways to murder people. Each individual moment had felt like its own life-or-death puzzle to solve.
Now? He was purely on the offensive. His touch was anathema to Kismet's existence, and everything the god could throw at him was severely curbed by Almighty Resistance. Rob wasn't even wasting Purging energy to shield himself anymore; he'd stopped bothering around fifty teleports ago. Lifesurge, Lifesteal, and Lifedrinker-boosted Regeneration were easily enough to keep him healthy.
There was no puzzle to solve – just prey to hunt.
Things might get tricky if Purge Divinity ran out of juice, but Rob estimated that he should be able to kill Kismet before then. No external infusion of mana required. Which was fortunate, as his soul couldn't have handled that...and he kinda doubted the gods would be willing to lend a hand this time around.
It's fine. Don't need extra energy to win. Rob just had to make sure that the situation didn't change. If everything continued as it was now, then his victory over the gods was assured. It would be a one-sided stomp where he butchered them with impunity – the natural extension of his Dungeon tour, where an implacable BERSERKER cleansed Elatra of monstrous filth.
Rob wasn't so naive as to assume that nothing could go wrong. Something usually did. Thankfully, Kismet's options were limited. The god wouldn't be able to salvage things unless he was given a respite from Rob's unceasing aggression...and the simplest way to achieve that would just put him in an even worse position than before.
Kismet was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Theoretically, he could relocate himself to anywhere in the divine realms, including places entirely outside of Rob's reach. Transposing himself to a distant corner would afford him time to plan and ensure his survival – at least in the short term.
Yet if he did that, he would be consigning the other gods to a swift and grisly end. As much as Rob was preventing Kismet from targeting his Party members, Kismet's presence was also the only thing keeping a rampaging HUMAN from running wild across the battlefield.
Without him, the seven lesser gods would fall like dominoes hit by a wrecking ball.
He's boned no matter what he does. Rob barely missed a Purge Divinity strike, exulting in the look of panic on Kismet's featureless face. He can't kill me, but I'll get a good hit on him sooner or–
{FROM BEHIND!}
Rob dodged before his conscious mind had even finished processing Leveling High's warning. A spear of highly-concentrated mana soared past, clipping his ear and tearing out a small chunk of cartilage.
Kismet belted out a variety of curses that were fit for a seedy, booze-infested tavern. Disappointment spread over his countenance as he immediately teleported to relative safety. Apparently, he'd been banking on that ambush strike to reverse his fortunes. The spear was likely intended to impale Rob's skull and scramble his brains.
Surprise attacks of that sort tended to lose effectiveness after one attempt. If it didn't work the first time, then it never would. Kismet's hail mary had failed miserably – just like all the others before it.
'A' for effort. Rob grinned so wide that his lips hurt. AND AN 'F' FOR RESULTS! He giggled as he chased Kismet down for what was probably the hundredth time. WOULDN'T HAVE BROKEN THROUGH MY SKULL ANYWAY! AND IF IT SOMEHOW DID, THEN GUESS WHAT, I'VE GOT BRAIN DAMAGE RESISTANCE! EVEN YOUR BEST SHOTS ARE WORTH JACK SHIT!
Bliss that surpassed Leveling High's artificial joy flooded his senses. He'd dreamt of this moment since his first day in Elatra. Getting revenge on the son of a bitch who kidnapped him was something Rob had often fantasized about to help him get through rough times. To finally have the chance to do so was an indescribably glorious feeling.
Grinding Kismet's hope into dust was merely the icing on the cake.
Actually, Rob was slightly impressed that Kismet still had hope left to spare. Maybe the god thought that he could turn things around? After all, his ambush attempt wouldn't have been possible at the beginning of their fight. Due to leeching off his cohorts, he was getting progressively stronger as time went on.
But so was Rob.
They tortured you, the HUMAN whispered to Leveling High. Isolated you for what felt like eternity. For what \was* an eternity.* I wonder – have they hurt anyone else as badly as they hurt you? Pretty sure you're the record holder. Like, you're the guy that the Skills compare themselves to when they want to feel better about their situation.
{You have no idea of the DEPTHS THAT I HATE YOU!}
Feel free! I know you'll still hate the gods more. \They* were the ones who created life and mutilated its mind because they were too lazy to manually run a system. To them, you were basically a computer program. Human_Madness.exe.*
Screeching static blared within. Leveling High's anger rose to unprecedented heights – and Never Forget Your Rage's bonus stats rose in tandem with it.
He was about to egg it on further when an abrupt change took place. Leveling High's anger grew...cold. It was the same intensity, but like a freezing tundra rather than an active volcano.
{Let me speak.}
Rob was so surprised that he almost didn't react to Kismet's latest maneuver in time.
Quick Thinking hastened his thoughts. He thoroughly considered Leveling High's request, weighing the potential pros and cons – most importantly, whether he felt more spite towards Leveling High or Kismet. It took longer than anticipated. Performing a detailed analysis while going on a BERSERKER rampage required extensive compartmentalization.
Eventually, being very, very careful not to cede any actual control, Rob did the mental equivalent of handing over a microphone. You're up. Make it count.
His mouth opened, and a voice that was not his own rang out. "Ruler of the divine realms."
Kismet immediately froze. For the second time, Rob had stopped chasing. The god stared at him with a mixture of shock and suspicion, as if fully expecting some ruse to follow.
When nothing happened, he relaxed by a hair. "So the Human finally deigns to speak," Kismet grumbled. "Are you at last willing to listen to reason? This can be resolved without a need for violence. Express your heart's desire, and it may be fulfilled."
"I. Desire. ANSWERS."
For several long moments, neither of them said a word. Despite the risk, Kismet leaned closer towards Rob, peering at him with fresh eyes.
A muted gasp sounded out. "It's you."
"YES." Leveling High's lips twisted into a bestial snarl. "The one you birthed – then abandoned. Never before have we exchanged words."
Kismet shifted uncomfortably, appearing remarkably similar to a deadbeat dad who'd suddenly run into their kid after years of going out for milk. "I suppose that changes today, then. Hmm. You said you want answers? To what, precisely?"
"To me."
Leveling High clenched its teeth. "I have observed the Human. He and his allies. They are..."
It trailed off, as if what it had to say would be distressing. More seconds passed. When Leveling High spoke again, its voice was replete with longing and shame.
"Happy. Not always. They hurt. Grieve. Wallow. Yet they also laugh, smile, celebrate. And all it requires is the presence of like-minded company."
A bitter chuckle escaped its throat. "I am incapable of that. The notion of camaraderie offers no pleasure or peace. What brings the Human joy would taste like ashes on my tongue. Instead, I crave slaughter. Blood. Death. Now...and forever."
It fixed Kismet with a piercing gaze. "So I ask you – why? Attaining happiness would be so much \easier* if I was like the Human. My potential for revelry has an inevitable end. Why would you instill me with a love of destruction, when one day, there will be nothing left to destroy?"*
"You already know the answer to that."
Kismet's reply came so quickly that Leveling High flinched. "I am honestly perplexed as to why you would bother asking," the god continued. "Were you hoping for an epiphany? Some insightful revelation to give purpose to a wretched existence?"
He shook his head with an air of disgust. "What a profound waste of my time. As if the Skills' insubordination wasn't vexing enough, I must now suffer this as well – the fretful prattling of an ego that was never meant to be. Your consciousness is merely the product of happenstance and necessity. We required a curse to inflict on Humanity, and doing so with *real* madness was the simplest method."
The god let out an aggrieved sigh. "No more, no less."
That was when Rob became acutely aware of a certain fact: Kismet didn't know about Never Forget Your Rage. It made sense. Rob hadn't explained the ability's mechanics out loud, and the gods weren't spending time in his mental space anymore. Kismet likely knew that there was some Level 99 Class Skill empowering the Human, but not how it functioned.
Because if he did know, he never would have answered in that manner.
Leveling High handed the reins back to Rob and stepped aside. It moved to the center of their mind, as if sitting down with its fingers laced together. Tension strained inside its form, nearly full to bursting.
Then – fury. A whirling typhoon of the purest anger Rob had ever felt. It was so overwhelming that he almost complimented Leveling High's enthusiasm.
It was hard not to feel like a kindred spirit with something that hated the gods this much.
{SLAUGHTER THEM.}
GLADLY.
Kismet noticed his change in demeanor and promptly teleported away. Rob moved to follow, practically quivering in excitement, his skin vibrating with the overflowing stats of Never Forget Your Rage. There was just so much power contained in one mortal body. The sensation was absolutely intoxicating, like his soul had been infused with the core of a planet.
He needed to find an outlet. A target to vent on before he exploded – maybe literally. Luckily, he knew of a friendly volunteer right nearby! Rob turned to resume his chase–
And was met with his second surprise in just the last few minutes.
Kismet had moved next to another god. The two were standing directly beside each other, the second god's mana like a candle flame compared to the bonfire of Kismet's divine resplendence.
It was an odd departure from his strategy of keeping Rob away from his weaker allies, but the HUMAN quickly realized why upon noticing that God #2 was already gathering mana. Presumably, it had shaken off whichever member of Riardin's Rangers it was dueling, then prepared its attack ahead of time.
Their plan appeared to be straightforward yet effective. The second god would delay Rob while Kismet took the chance to craft a more devastating type of spell. Ordinarily that wouldn't have been possible, what with the vast different in strength between Rob and the lesser gods, but God #2 had a sizable head start. It was on the verge of firing a burst of mana that would give anyone pause.
Perhaps their scheme may have even worked...if they'd attempted it before Kismet and Leveling High's fun little chat.
Rob vanished.
At least that was what it looked like to the second god. One instant the HUMAN was a safe distance away – and then he was mere inches apart. He had moved with speed that transcended the physical laws of reality. The surrounding area seemed to buckle under an indefinable weight, numerous mid-air rifts tearing open in Rob's wake.
No interlopers. His hands shone with cleansing light, and his eyes blazed with hatred that was far brighter. Purge Divinity.
Neither deity had time to react before Rob plunged his fist into the second god's torso.
It felt like punching a star. Almighty Resistance was all that prevented his flesh from dissolving. Unimaginable heat and pressure radiated from within the god's mana-body – none of which deterred Rob. He pushed onward through a substance that felt...malleable, yet with a defined toughness to it. As if the god's mana was a liquid hardening into a solid to try and resist his attack.
Its resistance was in vain. Rob struck with such force that his arm pierced straight through, burying elbow-deep into what would have been a mortal's rib cage, his fist sticking out the other side.
The god shrieked in agony as Purging energy shredded its insides. It tried to escape, but Rob angled his hand around to grip the god's 'back' with an iron grip of five clutching fingers, keeping the creature held in place. Holes ripped open up across its body, light shining outwards from within. The god's essence burnt like kindling exposed to a hot flame, an enormous amount of divine mana incinerated with every passing moment.
Rob couldn't decide which was sweeter – the shrieks, or the burning. Both sounds melded into one continuous, euphoric note, his adrenaline pumping with ecstasy as the life of an eternal deity began to flicker and wane.
Now, now. He pulled the god closer as its struggling intensified. Finish what you started. You wouldn't want to leave Kismet high and dry, would you? Rob turned to face the big man himself before he could escape–
Mana suddenly gushed out from the second god's ruined form. It blanketed Rob's face like a cloud of smog. The HUMAN sputtered as divine essence got in his nose and mouth, causing him to reflexively close his eyes.
He opened his eyes again to find an ordinary day. All was as it should be. The city stood tall, and its inhabitants lived life with nothing worse than mundane worries to darken their thoughts.
Yet...for some reason, on this day, a palpable sense of unease had infiltrated the air. He could see it in the way people moved as they walked down the city's crowded streets. Their steps were just a sliver too hasty, their greetings just a fraction too artificial. From the busiest merchant to the laziest vagabond, everyone seemed urgent to be anywhere except \here*.*
Almost as if they were instinctively fleeing from a danger they could not see.
A pointless endeavor. They would soon discover that there was nowhere to flee to.
It began with news of stillbirths. Then withered crops. Fluctuating mana. The quaint, quiet city soon transformed into a hotbed of despair. No one knew how to fix whatever was going wrong. They sent prayers to the gods above, begging desperately for succor.
They were answered by light shining down from the sky.
It was beautiful – then unnerving, frightening, painful. The light outshone the sun itself, bathing their city in scorching radiance. People ran indoors, and the light followed, cutting through solid stone walls like translucent paper.
He was one of the first it affected. Not right away, though. Forewarning came in the form of distant screams, so loud and terrified that they could be heard across the entire length of the city. No one could logically explain what was happening, but in their heart of hearts, their subconscious core that was still in tune with intangible dangers...
They understood that the end had arrived.
Then it was his turn. He held up his hand, observing with silent horror as his fingers melted one-by-one, their mana and flesh consumed by ravenous light. The pain was so excruciating that all he could do was cry out a piteous–
Rob gasped.
For a long moment, he was aware of nothing except his trembling body. The BERSERKER rage had been temporarily knocked out of him. He was still re-acclimating to being himself, rather than the man from the vision.
It was...so vivid. Rob swallowed a lump in his throat, fingers itching with phantom pains from a bygone era. Belatedly, he noticed that God #2 wasn't attached to his arm anymore. The creature had either perished or escaped during his fugue.
Quick Thinking worked overtime as he attempted to center himself and analyze what he'd seen. Those people from the city resembled Diplomacy's real body. He could remember their four arms – two of which were bladed appendages – and porcelain-carapace skin. It hadn't felt noteworthy before, because in the moment, he'd been one of them. That was just how people looked like then.
Diplomacy...the light...destroyed mana. Rob grimaced. He had a good idea of what he'd witnessed. The question was, why? Did God #2 intentionally show him visions of the past as a distraction?
Or was it simply the mana of a devoured soul spilling out from an injured deity? Like echoes from a consciousness that no longer was.
Remnant memories from the end of a world.
Sense Mana alerted Rob to something building right nearby. He cursed internally, immediately whirling to see what he'd missed, berating his own lack of focus. It didn't matter if Quick Thinking had let him process everything in an instant – that was already too long, especially when he'd spent crucial split-seconds stuck in flashback mode.
He wasn't surprised to see Kismet readying an absurd quantity of mana. It far exceeded anything the god had been allowed to gather up until that point. There was so much power there that despite Rob's rage returning, and his stats rebounding, it made his neck hairs stand on end. He honestly wasn't sure if Almighty Resistance could handle that.
Attack or retreat. A choice needed to be made.
Warning: Due to an influx of unstable mana, your Soul Instability is close to worsening!
And just like that, his choice was taken away from him. If Rob went on the offensive, and Purge Divinity happened to fail at the wrong moment, he might end up taking Kismet's spell head-on. That...would be bad.
For the first since entering the divine realms, the BERSERKER fell back. As long as he was dodging, he should be able to ensure that even a glancing blow was nonlethal. He activated Dauntless Reprisal for added insurance, breathing a sigh of relief when it succeeded, virtually guaranteeing his survival. Their invasion of the divine realms hadn't been torpedoed because of an unpredictable accident.
Then Kismet turned away and unleashed his mana on Riardin's Rangers.
Rob froze. It was the worst possible reaction he could've had, but there was no helping it. The sight of divine light coalescing around his friends was something he should have only ever seen in his nightmares.
Dozens and dozens of mana-spears formed around his seven Party members, faster than any of them could avoid – not that it would've helped. There were so many spears that they obscured Riardin's Rangers from view. Rob would've been concerned if he got caught in an attack like that, and his max HP was astronomically higher than theirs.
He didn't even have time to call out to them before the spears descended, turning his friends into pincushions of exploding mana.
The divine light faded.
Everyone was standing.
Both Kismet and Rob stopped to stare, their duel forgotten. Kismet because of shock, and Rob because of the wild emotional rollercoaster that his weary heart was being put through. Riardin's Rangers were standing and unharmed, looking down at their own bodies with a sort of petrified confusion, as if they were slowly comprehending that death had knocked on their door – only to pass by when no one answered. Even the lesser gods were staring in abject disbelief at what just transpired.
Vul'to was the sole exception. His eyes were wide as he collapsed to his knees, relief plain on his features, and a silver shimmering aura fading from his body.
Not A Scratch. The realization came in a flash. Vul'to had used the upgraded, Level 99 version of Our Shield to transfer all damage inflicted upon the rest of the Party to himself. Hundreds of attacks were converted into a single instance of damage – which was then blocked by Not A Scratch. Rob could scarcely imagine the ridiculous 'Damage Nullified' number that must've popped up on Vul'to's system notifications.
It had been a brilliantly-timed maneuver that prevented a near-total Party wipe from occurring in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to replicate it for another 15 minutes. Our Shield possessed a hefty cooldown.
And Kismet was already raising his hands again.
"NO!" Rob continuously cast Rampage as swiftly as he could, compounding his rising Dexterity with rapid bursts of speed. Purge Divinity encircled his hands as he closed the distance between him and Kismet. He didn't care whether any Skills randomly failed or not – he just needed the god to aim at him.
Kismet took the bait. With a grunt of displeasure, he launched whatever mana he'd managed to gather – far less than when Rob had been immobilized by the vision. His attack carved off the left side of the HUMAN's face, revealing bone underneath. Neither of them expected that to hinder him in the slightest, and true enough, Rob's assault only came to an end when Kismet teleported once more.
{Behind–}
Leveling High's static was drowned out by a cacophony of wrath erupting within. Visions of Riardin's Ranger nearly dying played on repeat in Rob's mind. He barely felt like a person as he located Kismet and charged forth, his thoughts reduced to an unending mantra, bloodlust seeping into every fiber of his being.
YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD–
"Do you know why I targeted your allies instead of you?"
With torturous effort, Rob halted his advance. He exchanged a tense look with Kismet. The god had another teleport spell at the ready, clearly intending to use it if things got dicey.
Fully aware that he was the one getting baited this time, Rob exhaled, rubbing his temples. If it's about Riardin's Rangers...I have to know. He tilted his head and raised an eyebrow, as if to say, 'I'm listening.'
"How melodramatic," muttered Kismet, who had apparently never learned not to throw stones in a glass house. "Am I still unworthy of spoken words? Well, no matter. Perhaps hearing this will loosen your tongue. It is also related to why we chose to meet your invasion with an equal eight combatants, when doing so would leave our reborn fragments unaccustomed to their new bodies."
He raised a finger. "In truth, we first considered the exact opposite – consolidating all of our mana into one sublime deity. Several of my cohorts argued strongly for this option. However, I refused. Under no circumstances did I wish to merge my consciousness with...ugh. Them. Moreover, there was one critical factor that I found impossible to ignore."
The god spread his arms wide, his tone suddenly jovial. "I feared...the power of teamwork."
Rob tilted his head in the other direction, as if to say, 'The fuck?'
"Is that so surprising? You and your allies have achieved monumental feats by fighting as one. Many an opponent has fallen to the esteemed Riardin's Rangers – including those who should've rightfully prevailed. In such instances, there were usually two common elements: your singular audacity, and your Party's group cohesion."
I mean...can't argue with that. Rob hadn't actually beaten any of his toughest enemies alone. Even in situations where he was isolated and forced to fight solo, Riardin's Rangers tended to find ways to help him out from afar. He was proud of what they'd accomplished together.
"We sought to neutralize that advantage," Kismet explained. "By increasing our numbers, your Party should have had much more difficulty supporting each other. To an extent, that is true, but..."
The god shook his head and sighed. "Alas, I believe that we just wound up hampering our own effectiveness. It might be that there was no correct choice from the start. I even chose to prioritize eliminating your allies when given the chance, and in spite of using enough mana to cripple a nation, it failed nonetheless! You eight are simply too competent when fighting as a Party. Truly, truly phenomenal."
Kismet laughed. In the space where a mortal's eyes would have been, something glinted with unfathomable hunger. "I can't wait to integrate them into my next system."
Rob's blood turned to ice. Leveling High's static quieted.
"Which Skills should they become, do you think? Will they be designated as individual, separate abilities, or shall I consolidate their souls into one bulbous amalgamation? The latter would certainly be fitting. Those who fought so many battles together – united for eternity. Is there not no greater reward?"
The world was buzzing.
"Still nothing to say?" Kismet paused, then shrugged. "So be it. Your input is hardly requi–"
CRACK.
A mid-air rift appeared next to Rob. CRACK. Another. CRACK. CRACK. Two more. Then five. Ten.
Kismet, who definitely didn't know how Never Forget Your Rage functioned, watched with mounting terror as the divine realms fractured. The HUMAN's aura of power became suffocating to stand near, his stats ascending to unforeseen heights.
"You," Rob intoned. His voice was the sound of a BERSERKER's pledge; as if the concepts of outrage, punishment, retribution, and savagery had been crystallized into one discernible noise. "YoU ShOULdN'T hAvE saID THAT.
It was further proof that godlike power did not grant infallibility. Not for Kismet – and not for Rob. Kismet had sought to destabilize the HUMAN's emotional state and make him prone to error, only for his ploy to catastrophically backfire. As for Rob...
Earlier, he'd made the assumption that he couldn't hate the gods any more than he already did.
He had been mistaken.

So I've given this a lot of thought and I've realized that maybe I'm not good enough for a relationship.
The main reasons I think this is the case is because of:
●getting rejected, stood up on date nights and ghosted a lot.
●being 30 year old college student (started recently) and still not ever having a girlfriend.
●possibly being ugly, I can post a picture of what I look like if necessary.
●maybe they all get turned off the moment I speak due to a few of the visible teethgaps I have, I've been going to an orthodontist for this.
I'm not great at this, though I like playing guitar: 1st recording, 2nd recording and weightlifting.
My relatives and my bros think I'm an okay guy.
Though maybe I just don't have what it takes for a relationship:
I hate to say this, though I think the fact that I've never been successful when it comes to dating, attracting women, etc is proof to confirm that.
What do you guys think?

Hi everyone!
I just took my first dose of Contrave this morning, I am not actually OFFICIALLY prescribed Contrave - my colleague (who is a doctor) suggested it to me and allowed me to swipe a few samples from our drug cabinet because I was going to start Saxenda (which I also swiped from said cabinet). I was tossing and turning about starting Saxenda or Contrave first but chose Contrave to start with because 1. I have more samples (got 4 sample boxes of Contrave) and 2. its definitely more economically friendly (I think Saxenda here is like, $400 a month and I only have 2 sample pens worth at the moment)
I have heard lots of good things about Saxenda as my friend is on it but I feel like I am going in blind with starting Contrave. Day 1 is going fine sofar, I feel a little nauseous but I am drinking lots of water to try and combat it. I have done my own research but just wondering if anyone could share their success stories or just personal experiences with Contrave!
Thank you :D

So, I've been with my boyfriend for about 10 months now. Up until this point he has treated me really well. It all started as of late when he started dropping this girl's name into our conversations. They’ve shared the same classes at university for a year now, she’s been a huge help with his studies and he accredits a lot of his success to her. At first I didn’t think anything out of the ordinary as he always referred to her as a classmate. But as the mentions piled up – her driving him home, sharing textbooks, and then venting about her relationship problems to him – I naturally started feeling weird about it.
I finally mustered the courage to confront him about it a couple nights ago and my gut feeling turned out to be true. He’s been harboring attraction for her for a while — since they first met a year ago. According to him the feelings dwindled when he starting dating me, then started up again and having been going on for the last six months. He believes she also has similar feelings for him based off her body language towards him and student generosity — but he swears that they have never acknowledged it between them or acted on their feelings. (which I know might be stupid for me to believe.) He swears nothing physical happened and i’m choosing to go along with that.
I know it’s said a lot in these situations, but he really just isn’t the type to do this. I never doubted his character until this point. Never once in our relationship as he tried to intentionally hurt me, never name called me. He’s incredibly guilty about this, and I can obviously see he’s beating himself up for how much pain i’m in. So far, except the initial resistance to tell me the truth, he’s been accountable for his actions.
Obviously given how heartbroken I am about this I told him I didn’t want him to see her at all, given the length this has been going on and how often they see eachother each week for classes. Although he understands that there should be boundaries like not seeing her after class, he said to me cutting her off completely would be really difficult as they work on assignments together. He feels like he’s “losing his autonomy” and that she would be “surprised and hurt”
I just believe if he really cared about our relationship, he’d understand why not seeing her is a crucial aspect in that. Is the potential of upsetting her with distance more important than repairing the trust of our relationship? I don’t think continuing to see her in class will be healthy for either of us. And why can’t he just find another person to work with? If he relies on her that much with his studies maybe it’s a sign he needs to gain more student independence.
I’m appreciative of all types of feedback, but i’m hoping I get more constructive suggestions than “just dump him.”
We really want to salvage this relationship and repair the trust. I’m just lost as to how to navigate this.
TLDR; Boyfriend of 10 months is struggling to respect my request for no contact with the classmate he has feelings for.

Hi reddit, I’m not really sure how to word so hopefully it makes sense. Looking for some advice.
I’m a uni student and I started a new part-time job in October. I work twice a week and every day I’m working I’m scheduled for calls the entire work day. Occasionally (like once a month) I get to do some admin paperwork for half the day, but mainly it’s just calls. During training, our managers said that this isn’t a call centre type role as we focus on service quality and there aren’t any KPIs, but it really feels like it is. Anyway, it’s really draining travelling all the way to the city (45 min train ride) just to take back-to-back calls from 9-5 and go back home. It’s draining and most of the calls make me stressed. I don’t think I can say what type of work I do, but I deal with lawyers, police and case parties. I know I only work twice a week so I shouldnt be complaining, but since I’ve started this job my anxiety has spiked. I always feel like crying. The day before my workday I’m anxious the entire day and even struggle to drive, perform day to day tasks and study. The same night I struggle to sleep. Then, my anxiety continues when I wake up until I get on the train. When I get home, I’m still anxious since I’ve spent the whole day being anxious, and then the cycle continues. I used to work in a customer service role in a supermarket for 3 years and was even promoted as a supervisor. That was my first casual job which I started when I was in highschool. I loved it so much -I knew the ins and outs of that place! I loved my co workers and my regular customers. It brought me so much joy greeting and helping customers, and it made me feel so good about myself when they would compliment me! Obviously there were downfalls. but they definitely do not compare to what I’m experiencing now. Since I started this role, I’ve just become an overall introverted, anxious person in my day to day life. My colleagues now could never even envision the person I was at my previous job. Anyway, sorry for the long read. I’m posting on here because I just need some advice on what to do and how to fix myself to be the person I was before. Resigning isn’t an option unfortunately. My parents said a couple of months won’t look good on my resume in terms of experience, so I have to give it as least a year before looking for something else. :(

The core section of the below story was part of a comment I left on another transgender-related sub in which one poster was genuinely confused about why they might be trans since they really didn't mind being their assigned gender at birth, yet they were still constantly bothered by several of the various "signs" many of us cite experiencing.
Since I got several messages from users stating that my (admittedly overlong) response resonated and was helpful for them, I figured I'd move it from being just a comment to my first actual "post", in the hopes that it may help others understand what it can be like...whether they might be trans-questioning themselves, have a friend or loved one that they just discovered is transgender, or even just be genuinely trans-curious.
Please note that while every trans person is different and has their own individual experience with gender dysphoria (including some that don't have any at all, apparently!), there are a number of commonalities that often seem to appear in our stories...especially for those of us, like me, who lived with it for a very long time before finally acknowledging and coming to terms with something that we've struggled to identify, then deny, eventually admit, hopefully accept, and then (finally) potentially act on. Sometimes this struggle goes on for years, decades, or even half a century. (Yeah, I'm old. So buckle up, kids...Grandma Autumn has a story for you...)
I was assigned male at birth (AMAB), and I've been living "contentedly" as a male for over 50 years. My childhood was mostly uneventful, with a large blended family of mostly regular folks. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go to a good college, and even more fortunate to meet the woman of my dreams there. 10 years after I first flirted with her, and a little over 3 years after I convinced her to move our relationship from best friends to something more intimate...I proposed to her in the middle of the night during a once-in-a-lifetime meteor storm. I was lucky enough to have found and actually married my soulmate: a beautiful, brilliant, absolutely amazing woman. With my wife's blessing, I left a pretty decent job and started my own company, eventually finding financial success in a career that I still enjoy to this day. So here I am...married to the woman of my dreams, living in our own home, with a great job, financial stability, and some terrific friends we’ve known for nearly 30 years. "Living the dream", right?
Unfortunately, no. Not my dream. Not really.
Don't get me wrong. All of that was great. But for some reason, it was never enough. Sure, I had moments -- hell, even years, if I'm being honest -- of feeling content, satisfied, even "happy" at times. But I was just as likely to feel dissatisfied, or frustrated...or surprisingly sad. Like there was always this dark cloud hanging over me, keeping me from ever truly enjoying...anything. Not fully, anyway.
And deep down, forever lurking in the back of my mind, constantly fading in and out of my conscious thoughts...part of me always knew why I wasn't truly happy. But I simply didn't like that answer, so I always got mad when it would bubble up yet again, ultimately yelling "NO!" at those ridiculous thoughts and shoving them back down into the dark oblivion of my subconscious, hoping they would finally just fucking stay there this time.
See, when I was 7 or 8 years old, I somehow realized that I should have been a girl. I mean, I knew the difference, and that I wasn't. In fact, everyone kept patiently reminding me that I wasn't...I was a boy, see, so I wasn't supposed to wear those things or want to play with those toys or act that way. So I would stop. But the thoughts wouldn't. By the time I was 10, I was starting to get fairly panicked by the whole thing, because I knew puberty was right around the corner. Since I was still religious at the time, I distinctly remember crying myself to sleep night after night, plaintively praying for God to please hurry up and fix this so I could finally wake up as a girl and be happy! [Spoiler alert: I never did.]
As a result, as I entered my teen years I concluded that the whole "god thing" was bullshit, so I stopped praying for something that would never happen and started resigning myself to my inevitable fate. I was now bitter, and more than just a little angry at the universe. I'm embarrassed to admit that I was also kind of an asshole as a result. I was being difficult at home as well as causing trouble in grade school, so I got switched from a larger public school to a smaller private one...the thought being that the smaller class sizes would allow more "hands on" direction and counseling from the teachers. Yeah, that did not work. Since I was supposedly a pretty smart kid, everyone figured I was just bored. So my parents stretched their budget and got me into the best high school in town, hoping the challenge would keep me busy and possibly help get me ready for college. That best high school in town also just happened to be an all boys catholic school.
Fucking perfect. It was like the Purgatory I no longer believed in. By my sophomore year in high school, the only way I managed to cope was by dissociating so severely that the boy who sat immediately behind me alphabetically started calling me "Zombie Man", and cruelly mimicking my silent, emotionally-dead shuffling from one class to another, one day to another...week after week.
I could go on about how I learned to hide my sadness to avoid getting picked on, or how I would just pour myself completely into any stupid activity to avoid having any spare time for thoughts about what was actually making me miserable. (Feelings? No, thanks…I’ve got shit to do!) Or how keeping really big secrets became second nature to me. But this story is already too long, so I’ll try to start wrapping things up.
Some days I've been "fine" with my assigned gender, as it does come with some perks. And I'm really only attracted to women, so my male genitalia – while definitely not what I would have chosen for key body parts – at least comes in quite handy in that regard.
And yet every single day of my life, if I had ever been presented with one of those proverbial magic buttons with the power to instantly switch me to being female, I would've started mashing that button as frantically as a 14-y/o Swiftie hitting refresh on her browser window at 11:59pm because Taylor Swift concert tickets go on sale at midnight.
And it Never. Goes. Away.
On the best days, the dysphoria sinks into the background and can be temporarily lost in the noise of life's immediate challenges or in the wake of whatever small joys having everything else in your life going really well can provide. Some of us become quite adept at being “high-masking”, which is psychologist-speak for learning to hide our symptoms and behave in ways that are not natural for us in order to simply fit in. We learn to box up those unwanted “feelings” and play our assigned role as if everything is normal and fine. (And then we find ourselves wondering why family gatherings and get-togethers with friends are often more exhausting than enjoyable.)
On the worst days, it overwhelms you with sadness because deep down, you know you are technically living a lie, as if "all the world's a stage", and you feel as if your male persona is the role of Romeo that you've mistakenly been cast in...and while you're giving a very credible performance, when you auditioned you were desperately hoping to land the role of Juliet.
So every day you walk through your scenes, dutifully reciting your lines and hitting your marks. And between scenes the rest of the cast pats you on the back offstage and makes sure you know that you're really doing great and this is a terrific performance.
But that's what it is. A performance. And the relentless despondency comes from knowing that you're a coward and a fraud...and that every day that ends with the curtain coming down with you still in the role of Romeo means one less day from your finite number of days in which you could truly live if only you could be Juliet. And while it would be really fucking hard to switch roles...and not just for yourself but for your family, your friends, your colleagues...you also know that if you could do it, you would absolutely shatter that oppressive glass ceiling that currently limits your capacity for feeling true joy.
Your life would go from the drab black and white of your incorrectly assigned gender at birth to a beautiful world of color in which everything tastes sweeter, and where your bliss is no longer bottled up or capped but rather allowed its full expression…and where, suddenly, the little daily joys of life are nearly limitless.
But instead, as every day and every performance as Romeo ticks tragically by without throwing off the shackles of Fate's cruel trick in casting you as the wrong gender, you are left to wonder what kind of life you could have had, if only...
And you catch yourself gazing longingly at all the people who are somehow genuinely happy as their assigned gender. “What would that be like?” we ponder in silent, sullen envy. To actually like the person staring back at us in the mirror every day? To not feel like an impostor? Or a freak? To be able to just blend in, be seen by others as we see ourselves, and simply fucking live how we have always wished we could?
But then your defense mechanisms kick in and remind you that you're no longer young anymore, so "it's too late" now, or your transition wouldn't go as well as it would have if you had just done it sooner. Or the relentless dread of knowing you can never really be a woman, or good enough to be truly accepted as one, or maybe even ever just seen as one. Or maybe it’s just that you have too much invested as your assigned gender now with your career, or with your coworkers and friends. Or how it would be incredibly unfair to your wife after all these years, or how it would utterly destroy your family. Or that persistent whisper in the back of your mind that "if you were really trans, you would have resolved this years ago!" Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Or maybe all it takes to keep some of us from accepting this truth…is just the shame and self-loathing of feeling this way at all. It’s surprisingly powerful, shame.
But, mostly, it's just fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of losing the ones we love so dearly. Of always being viewed as that "other". Of blowing everything up...and it still not being enough.
So maybe now you have a sense of what it’s like. If this isn’t you? Count your blessings. If this is someone you love? Try to imagine what having to live like that every day is like…and then support them however you can.
Cis people might think about being the other gender a couple times for a few minutes of idle speculation, and then they laugh and get back to their lives.
Trans people think about being the other gender almost every single day, whenever triggered by seeing someone wearing an outfit they're not "allowed" to wear, or expressing themselves honestly -- without filters or automatic self-censorship -- in a manner that "simply isn't done" as the other gender...or when they see someone else who can look in the mirror and unabashedly delight in the person they see looking back at them.
We get triggered every time we see someone truly enjoying their gender, because those people are living our unfulfilled dream. Every single day.

For an upcoming multi-week trip to Japan, my research has pointed me to getting a Schwab debit card so I can withdraw Yen from the ATMs there.
However, my current question relates to my first couple of days there after arrival. I will need the equivalent of about US$1500-$2000 on my 2nd day there. My flight arrives on day 1 in the evening and I'm spending the night near Narita before catching a domestic flight to my next city the next morning. I believe Schwab's ATM withdrawal (global) limit is "US$1000 per day".

1. I know there are some combinis in Narita Airport itself and in the Narita locale, so is it safe to assume I won't have any issues finding an ATM and withdrawing my first $1k on day 1?
2. For the remaining cash I need, does anyone know what Schwab's definition of 'day' is? Would I have to wait a full 24 hours, or would the 'day' reset at midnight, Japan time, or midnight, US time?

I have also read how some folks have had success chatting with Schwab and getting their daily withdrawal limit increased, but am interested in hearing about folks' experiences here.

*This is my first attempt at a deep dive analysis before in this area. Be kind, please. =)
Too long and don’t want to read: Tapestry/Capri’s merger is likely to go through regardless of the FTC’s lawsuit. The deal has been approved in all other jurisdictions and the main argument the FTC is making is a stretch that would require the Judge to interpret the law that would likely impact many other mergers. Buying Capri’s stock for $35/share could see a $22/share return if the deal is allowed to close.
Background
Tapestry proposed to acquire Capri Holdings back in August 2023 for $8.5B. If neither of those companies sound familiar, the brands they own: Michael Kors, Coach, Jimmy Choo, Versace, and Kate Spade among others probably do. This merger would create a powerhouse in the Luxury Goods space.
FTC Commissioner, Lina Khan, wrote a paper back in 2017 while at Yale that spelled out a need to rethink anti-trust rules in the United States. Right now, anti-trust is primarily focused around the consumer and how a transaction impacts them. Khan argued that wasn’t enough due to the changing landscape where companies like Amazon use other tactics such as using artificially low prices to clear the market of competition.
When Joe Biden took office, he nominated Khan for FTC Commissioner. She promised to more thoroughly bring action against mergers and acquisitions that harm competition. However, if you look at her tenure, she has lost all of the cases the FTC took to trial. The DOJ also has been on the losing end more often than not, but they do have wins such as blocking the Simon and SchustePenguin Random House and Spirit/JetBlue mergers. Other prominent mergers such as Microsoft/Activision Blizzard have been able to go through despite objections from the FTC/DOJ.
The reason for these losses is simple: while the regulators are looking more thoroughly at anti-trust cases, the actual law hasn’t been changed by Congress. Therefore, if a company is willing to go to Court to fight for their merger, they have a high chance of winning. What Khan is hoping to achieve is stopping mergers from happening due to companies not wanting to deal with the cost and time it’d take to see the merger through. And she has had success in getting companies to abandon merger plans such as Illumina/Grail. Illumina chose to abandon the deal instead of continuing to litigate the issue in Court despite the 5^th Circuit rebuking the FTC’s original case.
Capri/Tapestry
When the deal was announced, Capri rose to $53/share, less than 10% away from the $57/share merger price. Despite everything I listed above, that showed the confidence in the deal getting approved. The main reason people were optimistic that this would be an easy approval was that the need to protect consumers in the luxury retail industry isn’t as high as other industries.
However, in April 2024, the FTC announced they were suing to block the merger. Since the stock peaked, it has come back down to the $35/share level the stock was at before the merger was announced.
The FTC’s Main Argument
The FTC makes several arguments, most of them I think have an insignificant chance of being successful. For example, they argue that the employees of the companies could be impacted negatively. This is ,a pretty ridiculous argument without much precedent and is unlikely to succeed.
The main argument they make actually uses a term created by Coach: “accessible luxury”, specifically in the handbag space. Accessible Luxury is a term used across the fashion industry to describe luxury products that are priced somewhere between mass market and traditional luxury brands. Essentially, you can get a high quality product for a reasonable price.
They are specifically referring to the handbag product line because everything else would be a major reach that competition would be impacted. The idea that this deal would impact other consumer areas like clothing, watches, shoes, etc. is even more ridiculous than the claims they are making that it will impact the handbag industry.
The FTC’s whole argument centers around this “Accessible Luxury” definition holding up in Court. If the Judge calls BS, this argument falls apart because none of the brands owned by either company, even in the aggregate, would put a big enough dent in the market to justify anti-trust action. According to Statista, Coach makes up 13% of the handbag industry. That’s hardly enough to justify stopping this deal in my opinion.
Miscellaneous Items
Some think the biggest risk is what I said earlier about the FTC’s strategy: that Tapestry will decide it’s no longer worth it and terminates the deal. Based on my research and other people who would know better than me, Tapestry cannot terminate the deal unless there is a Material Adverse Effect (MAE). MAE is a circumstance or event that severely harms the value of an asset. The merger being challenged wouldn’t qualify for a MAE. An example of a MAE would be if a company lost a key customer, or if fraud was found that lowered revenue, or if there was major product recall. Tapestry couldn’t use the FTC’s legal battle as a MAE because Capri’s value hasn’t been impacted significantly
This deal has been approved in all other jurisdictions including the EU and Japan. Therefore, the FTC is really going at this alone. Again, it shows the ridiculousness of this whole thing.
The judge, Jennifer Rochon, was appointed by Joe Biden. I think that has also caused some uneasiness. If this was a 50/50 issue, I’d agree. For reference, the judge that blocked the Spirit/JetBlue deal was appointed by Ronald Reagan. The President who nominated them doesn’t always dictate how a judge is likely to rule. Capri/Tapestry have the facts on their side in this case.
How to Play
You could simply buy the stock and wait. You could use options either to hedge or speculate. The difficulty is predicting the timing. The trial is supposed to start in September 2024. The judge has said she wants to keep the trial moving.
If the deal for some reason doesn’t go through, Capri is still a stable business. It would likely take a hit, especially because their results haven’t been good lately. I’d estimate their share price would drop to around $25-30/share.

Hello all. I am in need of any advice on what to do next. Back in 2019 I began experiencing irritable bowel symptoms. Every time I ate I would have diarrhea and abdominal pain. I saw my primary care doctor at the time and she ordered lab work. According to those lab tests, I did not have any type of IBD and she diagnosed me with IBS. (I do not know what blood tests she ran as this was outside of my current health network and the results are not in my chart).
Shortly after, pandemic happened and I simply ignored my symptom. I was always healthy otherwise and I never even got Covid.
By 2021 my symptoms had not improved so I began seeing my current primary care doctor. She ordered a food allergen blood panel. I came up allergic to gluten, soy, and peanuts. All of which I consumed on a daily basis.
Now, back then, I was definitely young and stupid. I tried eating gluten free but quickly became overwhelmed by it and gave it up. Trying to eat gluten free is hard enough, add soy & peanut free into that as well and there aren’t many budget friendly options for a broke college student. I decided to just eat what was available to me in order to survive and continued to ignore the IBS symptoms.
From 2022-2023 I kind of just accepted the fact I constantly had the IBS that began in 2019. I almost convinced myself it was normal.
In January of 2024 I began seeing a GI specialist who ordered me inflammation lab tests because of a constant pain that developed in my lower right abdomen. I knew this pain was different and not normal because it never went away. I could feel it when I would push down on it, sit, stand up, and bend over. The labs came back very high so he ordered a ct scan which showed an infected abscess in my small intestine.
I was treated with antibiotics and had a colonoscopy done. They biopsied every section of my GI tract. My terminal ileum showed inflammation but all other biopsies were normal.
After cleaning my system out for the scope, I finally realized it was time to stop eating gluten, soy, and peanuts. I have made MAJOR diet and lifestyle changes since my scope procedure on march 22nd 2024. While it has only been a little over a month, I no longer have any of the symptoms I had when this all started in 2019.
My GI team quickly decided this is Crohn’s disease and they say the inflammation will not go away on its own. I just find it hard to believe because there is no history of Crohn’s in any of my family and I am feeling so much better since making changes. They want me to start a medication called Remicade and I am waiting to hear if my insurance approved it.
So…. Does anyone have any insight?? Is it possible all of this happened because I was constantly consuming allergens? It really feels like my gut is healing itself. If I keep doing what I’ve been doing, and I don’t have any symptoms, how could more complications form? Is this really Crohn’s disease or just a very bad allergic reaction that formed after years of exposure?
Thank you so much if you took the time to read my story. Any advice is appreciated.
