Inclined to agree with others here. I've (29m) made similar decisions in my past, mostly when I was around your age, and found later that it was because I had missed something about their personality and my subconscious caught me. Usually they'd display manipulative behaviours or neuroticism or something similar.

Like others have said, if by chance you actually did turn down a really good guy, it implies there's something about yourself that you're uncertain of or don't feel comfortable with and this gives you the opportunity to work on that/those trait(s) to avoid a repeat in the future.

Either way, try looking at this as a positive. It's a chance for growth. Wishing you the best.

This is my thought, what seems like a lose is a win one way or another. Either her intuition took over after her subconscious spotted something or she found something she can work on. Which hey, working on oneself is IMO the fastest way to find the best fitting partners

Yeah I got a Chromecast, and sometimes I can't find the remote, then I'd open up Google Home and just open the virtual remote there. Not ideal since you can't feel the buttons, but hey, it works

(Or you could go out and buy a universal remote, y'know. Remember to put a sticker on that one lol)!

Enjoy fighting for control over the TV with two remotes lol.

Thankfully I’m doing much better. At my worst it was 40 bowel movements daily with bleeding. Crohn’s is definitely dangerous, especially if you can’t find something that works for you since not everything out there works for everyone.

I tried to go the whole medical/doctor route, but after 6 years of threats that I’m going to lose my colon (which by the way fuck those doctors trying to use fear on a surgery that A. Makes them decent money and B. Doesn’t even work and causes other issues) and just pumping my body with nonstop chemicals and poison, and it just getting worse with them I went the natural route. Lots of crazy people in the natural world but eventually found a multi-generational family of homeopaths in India as a literal last resort. Within’ 4 months I have my life back lol.

I wouldn't worry, I'm poor as dirt but if I got the idea that someone was struggling I'd give them what I could as well. To you budgeting your food and making it stretch is just clever and you're not in trouble (I have to do this, I meal plan, pickle, freeze etc. Nothing gets wasted), but to her having to do these things is worrying and she doesn't want you to be in that position. I don't think she misunderstood, I think the two of you just have different viewpoints. If it makes you uncomfortable, then next time you see her express your gratitude, but say it's not necessary, you're confident in your abilities to budget and eat good food and you don't want her to feel she needs to keep giving you stuff.

You'd be surprised at how much you remember once you start working at it again.

Definitely think about checking out a community college in your area when you graduate - since they usually have programs in stuff like video production and graphic design

or if you are interested in stuff like setting up projection and stuff like that, contact an audio-visual company in your area and get on their freelancer list

>How can I fix this if she can never forgive me?

I’ve unfortunately been in a similar position as she’s in. It’s not about forgiving you. She maybe has forgiven you. But you proved she can’t trust you, you won’t be there for her if and when she needs you. And if you can’t trust someone, you don’t have a future with them.

Could be a few different things, i would try not to get yourself too worked up. I had something similar a while ago ended up being minor colitis, so i just dont eat anything super salty and more less cut out dairy. Get your colonoscopy and You'll be good my dude, no worries

Listen, my uncles a millionaire, and he didnt get there by spending money on dumb shit all the time. Just, ya know, some of the time. Your MIL probably knows exactly how important it is to save when and where you can. My uncles favorite thing to do is shine on people he loves and cares about. He loves to be generous when he can. I really wouldnt worry about offending your MIL, you probably made her feel useful and good.
