fucked the shit out of you lmao

Maybe educate yourself before forming a strong opinion and if you can‘t/won‘t, just don‘t talk about that opinion, specially unasked. That’s a great quality in a teacher. Also, you don‘t have to have an opinion on everything, life‘s too short to do that much research.

You think the massive amount of fetish porn and all of those consuming, filming, and taking part are there as a goof? Like it's just a big joke to lick feet ? And they don't enjoy it?

I'll give you that there has to be some actors who are doing it just for the money but theres a reason they have a niche to fill

It's disrespectful to not call somebody by whatever their preferred name is, like...this is very very simple.

If you want to be called X, anyone who respects you will call you X.

Christ. Yeah sounds all round like a bad fucjing environment. Kids are hard.

keeping it real with you yes you definitely sound like the bigger arsehole here. Hopefully with them being away a while you’ll get a bit more rest and time to reflect and think about what a more useful contribution to helping to raise two little ones looks like.

>I get home from work I don't want to do anything but sleep or sit down and do nothing.

I know, the dream. But too bad, it’s not gonna be like that for about 5 years until the youngest is able to self entertain. You gotta watch them, and keep them safe.

Escalating the arguments is also super not healthy. I’m glad you can recognise some of your shittier behaviour outside of the heat of the moment. Use the time they’re not with you wisely to work on all that. You may also want to find a day job to give up the night shift, which I know is another pain in the arse but at least after bed time will give you much needed space to actually enjoy shows or whatever it is that you enjoy without having to be on attention.

Good luck. Give yourself some support. Give your partner and kids some support.

It really is! Like a fucking river 🤣😭

It’s really immature for her to not to see it’s far more important to you and the entire path of your life than it could possibly be for her to use your new name in public. It’s just some weird pride attachment thing for her, for you it’s your livelihood and pursuit of your dream. She needs to give this up, she still gets to call you by your real name at home, the stakes are next to nothing for her. I would not be happy with my partner disregarding my wants and dreams over such a little thing.

I got a stomach bug and it’s just flowing. I can see this happening

I don't want to sound like a dick, but I can't agree with either of you. Your GF seems like she's too hung up on you changing any part that really isn't you, and you decided you need to change your name because that's what you're supposed to do, and being told by someone else.
I've been in your GF's shoes (in a minor way) when friends of mine changed their online nicknames and I too way too much exception to that. In retrospect very silly and just me feeling excluded and/or not liking change. So I feel justified in saying that it's not a very healthy standpoint.

You don't mention your own reason for changing your name. If it's down to casteism, I can respect that, but if it's something more akin to appearing cooler, your GF might feel YOU are being pretentious, rather than just disliking the name you happened to have chosen.

I wonder if it's likely about more than just the name, but what it represents. Maybe's she not so cool with you taking a serious step towards an acting career. Or at least showing you're willing to make major changes to accomodate that, and is worried how far that might go.

There's this meanwhile I have trouble finding someone normal I connect with.

What someone's called in private isn't generally a legal question. Whether or not OP is ok with being called the old name in private probably has nothing to do with whether they went through a legal process to change name.

8 is the legal age in my state, but home alone is different than home while you're not there and strangers are coming in the house.

Literally 😂🤣

He's stayed home alone for short periods. Nothing more then a hour or 2. Him and my 7yo both have cell phones so there atleast in communication. My neighbor across the street normally watches the kids for us. She's retired so helpful for us. I do remember being 7 with my 11yo brother and 5 yo sister growing up. Tho.

It’s “in the cards.”

Your gf is being straight up disrespectful; calling someone by a new name isn't hard and changing your name doesn't change who you are. There's probably a bigger issue here she's refusing to address and hiding it behind the name, but the fact is this is important to you, you communicated it clearly, and her blatantly refusing to respect your wishes is a major red flag. If she can't support this small change, how will she support your career in the long run? What else is she willing to steamroll in your relationship? Obviously I don't know your life but, having changed my own name, the people who couldn't deal were always the ones best left behind.

I'm curious at what age it's OK to leave a kid home alone nowadays. I was home alone or with my brother every day after school starting when I was 9 years old. I realize this was a special case, but is 11 considered too young to be home alone?

I mean, she’s right, it is a little pretentious. You didn’t change your name for any kind of internal or personal reason, it was explicitly for monetary and business reasons. Do you expect your parents to call you by your stage name too? It just seems a little weird to be upset that your loved ones call you by your real name.

This is extremely naive of you.

Don't worry, this was an innocent mistake. If I took all the times I realized I was being a not-so-stellar parent seriously, I'd be in a padded cell.

I'm in the same boat as you--selling my house--and I left some drying weed hanging in one of the closets for several of the showings.

Thought I checked everywhere, lol.

Was some shit that caught my eye on a torrent site. Wasn’t all that special tbh

You guys need to stay apart permanently. There is no repairing that relationship because it is very, very fucked up.

This is not the time to play the blame game, this is the time to put your children in a safe environment. I suggest having them stay with a neutral family member or friend as neither of you are stable and can provide that safety. Worst case scenario, involve law enforcement.

You are clearly displaying signs of clinical depression. While this is treatable, the symptoms of the disorder make it hard to seek treatment. Do everything you can to ignore excuses and take advantage of free resources that are available. Use google to find them.

You're not the first person to find themselves in a situation like this and like those before you, you have the ability to overcome this.

Aww shit!!!
