Thanks for the replies and the link. I don't really care about the stupid choices she made but it gets really annoying everytime she tells all her problem to me. I dont even know if I should feel sympathy for her or simply ignore her.

Edit

As for Boxbox's question, he seems very charming whenever he talks to me and my ladyfriends. It's quite disturbing to know about the other side of him.

lol, well 'smiles hide knifes' Also, I think you should just ignore her. She old enough to know what she should do and you told her a dozen times a dozen more won't change her mind unless she decides to finally listen.

I say just pick up the phone whenever she starts to bitch and play a recording of yourself saying: "Uh, go on honey, I'm here for you, he's no good to you. I told you, you can do better. Jesus be with you....etc etc"

lol, I just realize I'm an asshole.

I personally tried BDSM once before with another guy and it was kind of exciting but kind of fake. I mean....safe word? Come on, that takes the fun out of it......boy that came out wrong.... 🙄 oh come on, I can't be the only one who like a little forced relationship once a while with a hot hunk...

Quote from Brucie_kun

I have a question:

I have a friend who keeps on bothering me how her partner always hit her. She doesnt want to leave him and insisted that he needs help. A few weeks back, she paid him bail after getting caught by the police for punching her in public. He's also financially dependent on her, technically, this guy's an asshole.

Now I keep getting phonecalls from her everytime they have a big fight. I always want to say 'I told you so' or 'Leave him forgodsakes!' but the last time I did, she shut me off. What should I do to help this poor woman? 🤨

If she's shutting you off for giving an advice when she asked for one...then
If she doesn't wanna listen, then that's her problem. Ignore her.

lol, reminds me of Shakespeare's play Othello where the character Iago is that jackass who his woman can't leave. But he abuses her. I remember where there's a part he ummm reaches and she didn't, but he just leaves her there and left the room, lol

Scabbies have a point there.

I think in psychology, certain submissive partners always blind themselves with delusion that reality is better than what it actually is. It is common in all domestic abuse cases. The submissive partner always sees that "good part" in the dominant partner even when it wasn't there to begin with.

Okay, since the subject is life problems, I kind of need advice. Last week I tried to say something to lighten the mood in class, my teacher took this completely the wrong way and thought of it as a personal insult and my mark immediately dropped 20% as a result. I have no way to prove this is a direct cause/effect scenario. I'd like to attempt to change classes but this presents two problems:

  1. the counselor, who decides who to give what scholarship, would need to hear from my teacher and discuss with my teacher as to why I want to transfer out. This presents a problem as people of authority are obviously more credible and so I think my teacher will attempt to spin some tale that completely discredits me, thus assuring that I receive no scholarships.

  2. the transfer would need the approval of the director of the program I'm taking, who I was intending to ask to be one of my references for scholarships. He'd need to hear the greatly exaggerated story too and I doubt I'd get any reference afterwards.

Unfortunately, dropping the course is not an option, it is an integral course that I need to get the program's diploma, so I either need to endure my current teacher or risk both my counselor and the director hearing a story that completely vilifies me.
Should I transfer or not?

Everyone realises that they're assholes at some point in time. The ones who don't are deluded.

First of all, tell us what you said that was so bad ._.

I'm a little paranoid that she's be here because she told us she read manga too, but it's to the point of "you sound like you're having a mood swing". We had been talking about a game online that simulates poverty before and it transitioned into RL stuff before I said that.

i think you should better try to explain youself to her then getting drastic and changing class. some comments hurt people more than you think, therefore you should talk about what happened. you can´t avoid problems all the time. sometimes you have to face them. the class change should only be done if your teacher deftinetly won´t forgive you an if the grades keep falling for no reason.

it´s 2am so i may sound a little odd

When she told me she found it offensive I apologized for causing a misunderstanding... but I don't think she will forget about it/forgive whatever she thinks I've done. There's another guy who already transfered out of the class because of her... so, apologizing didn't really help...

Go to her office and talk to her. Don't do it before or after the class, like a putz, where she can't back down (it's a power struggle in the classroom... even in college).

In her office, you can discuss it like adults.

Do not accuse her of purposely dropping your grade. It might just be your own doing (you suck at the subject) rather than her's. This is why you go to her office to find out what is causing the discrepancy and mellow out the situation.

And if that doesn't pan out, talk to your program director. If it's pretty well known that a lot of students transfer out of her class, they may go easy on you for the transfer.
