2023.05.27 19:19 colo_1 I'm in love with a friend who loves another girl. What should I do?
tl;dr: we were best friends and dated, he said he has no feelings for me because I started fights over a girl I was jealous of. He said they wouldn't get together but now they are interested in each other and meeting. It hurts me. What should I do?
I w27 have a friend m26 that I have known for almost 7 years. We were best friends for years and he had a few girlfriends. In August 2021 he and his last girlfriend broke up. We developed interest in each other and I asked him if we should date in December 2021. He was insecure and stressed about his final project. That's why he told me he wanted to hand it in first and then think about what to do next with us. The same evening he asked a female friend of his for advice who he met online while gaming and whom he had known for 2 years at that time. It bothered me because I wanted him to talk to me because it was a thing between us and I didn't know he was telling her such intimate things. Those 6 weeks I waited until he turned in his final project were pure agony because he suddenly also texted very neutrally and I didn't know where I stood. After he handed in his final project in which I helped him, he didn't contact me, but was drinking alcohol online with this other friend and playing online games and talking online until 7am. I was very jealous and desperate from that point on as I felt I was being stalled and couldn't take it anymore and argued with him. He then thought about it for two days and told me that he no longer has feelings, but if I still want that, we can meet and see if his feelings come back again. We then met at my request and it went well, I also had the feeling at the end that his interest is there again. 2 weeks later I asked again for a date and he said that he does not believe that he will develop feelings again for me. This was in february 2022. I was heartbroken. I thought a relationship with my bestfriend would be the best thing possible. We left it at friendship. He hadn't a job at that time and was on the phone or gambling with this other woman every night until morning for the next few months, which triggered a lot of jealousy and fear of loss in me. He tried but couldn't soothe me. We argued a lot because of my fears and he talked about it with her, which hurt me very much. It was a personal thing between us. Why should she know every detail. He also said that he doesn't see me as a best friend anymore but her because she understands him. This also hurt me and we decided to break off contact for a few months. He told me that his decision not to start a relationship with me had nothing to do with her, but I didn''t believe him. He was so invested in her when he said he was thinking about his feelings for me. I was afraid that they would get together, but didn't assume it at first, since she is 8 years older than him, lives 5h away and had a longtime boyfriend. A few months later in december 2022 we reestablished friendship but I wasn't over him yet but it's working and we are good friends again. Then I found out that she broke up with her boyfriend because she developed feelings for my friend. I am not over him and it hurts me a lot that she comes to visit him every few weeks and he is interested and wants to see if he will develop feelings for her. It feels like I never really got a chance. First she took my best friend and now she wants to get together with him, which was my biggest wish. I don't know what to do and I can't take the anxiety and panic attacks anymore. In my childhood I was always afraid that my parents would leave me and now I am afraid to lose him to this woman. Will it last with her? She is much older than him and it would be a long distance relationship, but they get along very well and they are gaming every day. Should I cut the contact again? I missed him and I am happy that our friendship is good again. I don't know if he would forgive me to break off the contact again for this particular reason because he says that's not what friends would do and it shouldn't bother me anymore. I wish I could, but I can't get over him. Maybe I should wait for them to come together to lose all the fellings and hopes but it wrecks me.
I'm sorry for mistakes, I'm not a native speaker. Thanks for any advice

2023.05.26 20:47 brideck79 May 27 - Chicago Dutch Lions Preview
Sat, May 27, 7 PM - at Chicago Dutch Lions
Stream Link:
https://elevensports.com/view/event/cle4ptge50cah0jbfgaoha3cr Chicago Dutch Lions are coming off of a pretty disastrous 2022 campaign in which they attempted to play in both the WPSL & USL W simultaneously. Their roster ended up cratering, and they only played 8 of their 12 scheduled USL W matches. They did manage to play both games against Aurora, but in the second one they didn't have a goalie and had to play stalwart center-back Sarah Hagg (now with Tormenta) there instead.
Turning the page to this year, they're back with a renewed focus -- new coaches, new kits, and a mostly new roster (only 8-10 returners on their roster of ~30 players). 1-1-0 on the year so far, they're coming off of a 1-0 home loss to Chicago City. The match was fairly low octane (fewer than 10 SOG total & only 5 corners total), but CDL did have a couple shots rattle off the woodwork and had a goal saved off the line by a City defender in the dying embers of the match. A draw probably would've been the just outcome, but what can you do?
Out of folks who have played so far this year, some names to watch are Caitlin Richards in goal (a 3-year starter at UNI), speedster Kayla Shebar on the left flank, and two scoring threats up top in Katharine Stephens and Anna Stiffler. CDL has a large announced roster to pull from, though, so it's never quite clear who you're going to see in a given match. There is some interesting high school talent that's yet to see the field, including two 20+ goal scorers in Meghan Mrowicki (an incoming freshman at Notre Dame) and Emily Fox.
If you're interested in checking out the whole roster, feel free to take a look at my work-in-progress player notes for 2023's Heartland Division teams --
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LhwT8hkz7Mr2jyam2HR2MSr5W4Nq2ocX?usp=share_link Note that CDL has a tendency to reuse player numbers, so the stream's broadcast crew will sometimes misidentify players. I recommend checking the USL W's Match Details (
https://www.modular11.com/match_details/31814/2) during the game to see who is actually who.

We have a 2022 heartland mallard M27. We were told by the dealer that it is backup camera ready. It has the mount on the back. I went to install the camera today and there is no plug like there was on multiple videos that I watched of installations. I’m going to have to hardwire the camera. Where do I hardwire the camera into? I keep seeing online that I hardwire into reverse lights but I don’t believe our trailer has reverse lights. Any help is much appreciated.

This year-round service will initially operate daily with a competitive and convenient schedule offering up to an additional 2,464 seats between the two sought-after destinations every week. Virgin Australia is set to operate up to 41 return flights per week to Bali, when the first-ever direct services between the Gold Coast and Denpasar commence in March 2023. Including our recently launched Gold Coast to Denpasar route, demand for our services to Bali are up 190 per cent on the comparable period in 2019.* Wednesday, 21 September 2022: Virgin Australia has relaunched services between Adelaide and Denpasar, adding to its growing list of short-haul international destinations and creating even more opportunities for South Australians to get travelling this summer. Taking off on 14 December 2022, the route will offer up to an additional 2,464 seats per week to Bali when operating daily and more than 70,000 extra seats to Bali each year. To celebrate the route going on sale today, Virgin Australia has dropped Economy Lite sale fares between Adelaide and Denpasar from $399 return** with tickets available to book now until 25 September 2022 at virginaustralia.com. Virgin Australia Group Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer, Alistair Hartley said the airline was pleased to be welcoming another short-haul international route to its network just in time for the summer holidays. “The return of our direct services between Adelaide and Denpasar is a reflection of the growing demand we continue to see for Bali since relaunching from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne earlier this year and announcing our first-ever direct Gold Coast services commencing in March 2023,” Mr Hartley said. “Adelaide is incredibly important to Virgin Australia, it’s our sixth largest port by scheduled flights, so we know this will be welcome news for South Australians and the perfect opportunity to get back to the skies with our great value fares and award-winning crew,” he said. Adelaide Airport Managing Director, Brenton Cox said the airport was delighted to welcome Virgin Australia flights to Bali. “There is significant pent-up demand for South Australians wanting to head out and see the world, some for the first time in three years. It’s exciting to see more international capacity deployed to fulfill this demand and we thank Virgin Australia for their investment and the vote of confidence this service provides to our Adelaide market,” Mr Cox said. South Australian Minister for Tourism, Zoe Bettison said it was terrific to see services to Adelaide from international carriers increase, providing more options for consumers. “This is another positive step in the return to international travel and a strong show of confidence from Virgin Australia. The State Government is working with Adelaide Airport and airlines to grow capacity and provide greater connections globally, as we aim to recover our once $8.1 billion visitor economy,” Ms Bettison said. The Adelaide service will be the fifth direct route operated by Virgin Australia connecting Australians to Bali, as Virgin Australia continues to expand its short-haul international footprint with the launch of services to Indonesia (Denpasar), Fiji (Nadi) and New Zealand (Queenstown) this year and Samoa (Apia), and Vanuatu (Port Vila) in March next year.

Already Virgin Australia has notched up almost two- million organic views since its first TikTok post and promises to deliver videos that make users smile and push boundaries, something the platform is renowned for. From talking aircraft, to those famous Virgin Australia red lips and a ‘Couch Guy’ parody, the airline has rolled out a line-up of fun and hilarious content to date and is on a quest to rack up many more millions of views, sharing the brand with existing customers as well as a whole new generation of travellers and TikTokkers. Virgin Australia Group Chief Marketing Officer, Libby Minogue said the airline’s TikTok videos will feature Virgin Australia team members and focus on behind-the-scenes footage, trending content and of course, planes. “TikTok really is the perfect platform to showcase our famous ‘Virgin Flair’ and our wonderful team members and we’re so excited to be the first Australian airline to launch on the platform,” said Ms Minogue. “Virgin Australia has always been an innovative and challenger brand and TikTok is the perfect way to showcase the fun we have on a daily basis at Australia’s most loved airline. “Our followers will get to see a different side to our business. From the lifestyle of cabin crew and pilots, to behind- the-scenes glimpses into our operation, TikTok has opened a new way for us to communicate with existing and new customers, as we fly into a new era of travel. “We’re also encouraging our own Virgin Australia team members to join TikTok and create content that we know will resonate with users, like why cabin crew must wear a watch at all times, sneak peeks and secret flight hacks,” she said.

Virgin Australia's CEO Jayne Hrdlicka says the airline lost sight of its roots in the decade before it entered bankruptcy in 2020. Hrdlicka says the revamped airline, now owned by a US private equity firm, is a better business because they've refocused on that core - getting Australians from A to B within Australia and teaming up with quality partner airlines to fly them offshore. Virgin Australia says the airline was sold on Zoom. Speaking at an IATA 2022 in Doha on Monday, CEO Jayne Hrdlicka provided some insight into what hauling the airline out of bankruptcy involved and why Virgin Australia is forming new partnerships, even if at the expense of longstanding and now former partners. Formerly Jetstar's CEO, Hrdlicka took the top job at Virgin Australia in late 2020 after helping guide it out of bankruptcy. "We've taken our costs back, we've got the focus back on who we want to serve from a market standpoint, we're now a great value carrier. We just lost sight of the forest for the trees for a little while - and now we're back," she said. Virgin Australia's CEO also admitted to negotiating the sale of the airline to Boston-based Bain Partners in 2020 entirely via Zoom. She jokes becoming adroit at Zoom meetings was her lockdown hobby. But for nearly two years, real-life meetings with Virgin Australia's new owners were impossible owing to border closures. It took until April 2022 for the Virgin Australia CEO to meet the last of the airline's board members face-to-face. Curran. A.

Two Boeing 737-800 aircraft in the airline’s fleet have been fitted with the new seats and interior features, as part of an initial trial. Following feedback from the trial, Virgin Australia will consider the design for future aircraft acquired as part of the airline’s fleet expansion, which is already underway. Virgin Australia Group Chief Customer and Digital Officer, Paul Jones, said the new interior added to a long list of customer enhancements the airline has rolled-out since relaunching almost 12 months ago. “We are excited to unveil our new interior prototype which we are going to trial over the next few months,” said Mr Jones. “Virgin Australia is committed to being a customer-led business, so once we receive feedback from our guests and crew, we’ll consider implementing elements of the new design as our fleet grows. “We’re really focussed on creating great experiences for our guests and the design has been carefully considered to implement thoughtful features that we know will make travelling with Virgin Australia all that more enjoyable. “We’re looking forward to seeing how the new design will influence our fleet moving forward as we continue to expand our fleet and network as the market recovers,” he said.

We’re passionate about this, we absolutely intend to be successful at it.” The 2050 commitment and pathway will complement Virgin Australia’s existing sustainability measures, including having been the first airline in Australia to test sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the supply chain. Previously, Virgin Australia announced the addition of more fuel efficient MAX 10 aircraft to its fleet, which will commence in 2023. It’s also already made substantial progress in reducing on-board waste and already holds Australia-based environmental partnerships to underpin its carbon offsets. There are, of course, challenges to an airline reaching net zero but Virgin Australia is approaching them in both a practical and an innovative way. Jayne added: “While SAF is an essential piece of the puzzle, there’s a lot more to it than that. We have to look at every single lever in the mix of emissions and offsets to try to get as close to Net Zero emissions well before 2050, wherever that's possible. “Every single day we have single-use plastics that are used in parts of our operation – we need to get rid of that entirely. Making sure we’re using recyclable items, making sure all of our ground activity is done with zero emissions, and we’re using sustainable fuels throughout our processes – wherever that’s possible. “Working with all of our partners to ensure [this] end-to-end.

In a cheeky nod to its target, the “Velocity switch-a-roo” campaign will award Qantas gold members with a gold trial membership for 12-months. Platinum frequent flyers are also invited to apply to be fast-tracked to Virgin Australia’s top status tier after three- months of gold membership. Velocity frequent flyer CEO Nick Rohrlach said the “switch-a-roo” offer came about after the airline received a significant number of requests from members of other loyalty programs. “Since the July school holidays, we have been inundated with requests from customers of competitor airlines who want to move their loyalty to Virgin Australia, but don’t want to start from the bottom of the status ranks,” Mr Rohrlach said. “The switch-a-roo campaign is a game changer for these members who can now almost immediately climb to Velocity gold status by submitting a simple application on the Velocity website.” He said Virgin Australia offered business and leisure travellers access to lounges, preferential seating, priority security screening and boarding and checked baggage “without the high price tag”. “We also know we can offer something no one else can, and that’s our wonderful people, who deliver our service with a smile no matter what seat number is on your boarding pass,” said Mr Rohrlach. “Importantly, our operational performance is also really strong, and we’ve achieved record low cancellation rates over the past few weeks.” A Qantas spokeswoman said their members could use points to travel with the airline to 50 international destinations including London, Rome and Singapore, or to a further 850 destinations with partner airlines. “While all Australian airlines have faced operational challenges, we’ve seen a significant turnaround in August and September and are getting back to the high standards our frequent flyers and customers rightly expect from us,” said the spokeswoman. Virgin Australia also announced the progressive return of in-flight Wi-Fi to the airline’s Boeing 737 fleet starting before Christmas and taking about 18-months. Business class travel would be able to access Wi-Fi for free while economy passengers would have to pay. And in a tie-up designed to counter Qantas’s points deal with David Jones, Velocity members will be able to redeem their points at Myer’s online store in the first stage of the partnership. Mr Rohrlach said the move would help members stretch their dollar further at the retailer. Myer chief customer officer Geoff Ikin said they were “excited to be working with Velocity frequent flyer” as the program’s exclusive retail redemption partner. “This marquee partnership is an innovative way for Myer to engage with new and existing customers to drive further growth, revenue and acquisition,” Mr Ikin said. Virgin Australia’s move on frequent flyers came after the airline notched a fifth consecutive month of superior on-time performance to Qantas, according to data from aviation analytics firm Cirium. In August, Virgin Australia landed almost 70 per cent of flights on-time, ahead of Qantas on 66.14 per cent and Jetstar’s 57 per cent. The statistics did not include Rex which has consistently finished ahead of its larger competitors in the on-time performance stakes this year. With a seventh Boeing 737 now joining its fleet, Rex was expected to increase frequencies on its Golden Triangle services between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Ironside, R.

2023.05.19 00:42 D3MON_W0lf How do I handle this court case
Hey, I have no idea how this post will turn out so please bear with me.
I (M26) have to attend court in 3 weeks as a witness against my older sister (F32) in a case for my niece (F9) as my sister hurt her in November 2022. My niece was in my care for a short while, for the second time in 2 years. First time was due to my sister being out her face on valium but that didn't go to court and my niece and nephew (M5) were in foster care for 6+ months that time.
This time my sister physically hurt her and verbally abused my niece, so my niece has been in care since November 2022 but my sister got to keep my nephew in her care (Which I don't understand). I have been called up as a witness due to a statement I made at the time confirming what my niece told me at the time and other times I have seen my sister being abusive towards her kids.
At the time of making the statement I really didn't believe it would get as far as court, but it has an I don't know what to do. I know everything I said is the truth but I have never been in a court before and this is really triggering my anxiety and depression.
I have my own case against my sister for child abuse and child SA from when I was younger that I reported in 2021 but am still waiting to hear back as they are still gather evidence about. My sister isn't aware of this case yet and I'm worried it will somehow be brought up in the case with my niece. But obviously due to my history with my sister and my own case it is really triggering me right now.
I haven't had a chance to look over the statement I have given and I don't even know what to wear to court, I don't even know how I am supposed to face my sister in court and I also feel anxious as my niece has asked for me to adopt/foster her but the social work want her to go back to my sister even though I feel she will never be safe or stable enough to look after my niece and nephew. I just feel that when I go to court I am going to be the only one there fighting against my niece going home.
My niece has only started to see my sister again recently and that is making me feel worse, like physically sick as even though my niece is asking me to do adopt/foster her I know she loves her mum as well (when she is behaving correctly when social work are involved) and I have no idea if she really wants to go home or not.
I just want to pull out of the case so I don't have to go to court because I'm terrified of facing my sister and the backlash regardless of the court outcome as she is legit unstable and her friends are even worse. But I also want my sister to be held accountable for what she has done to my niece to the point that she has a mental capacity of a 6/7 year old and wets herself when she has done something wrong out of fear she is going to be hurt again.
Is there any advice on what I can do to make this easier? Can I or will I get to see the statement before court? Can I pull out without impacting the case?
Also what do I wear to court because all I see are American TV shows like suits and I'm not sure if it is like that in real life?

I [M26]blew up my wedding by uninviting my groomsmen. How do I fix things? - Sep 02, 2022
2 weeks ago I had my bachelor party. I was very hesitant about having one in the first place, mainly because I don’t like the connotation/expectations behind a traditional bachelor party. My best man and all my groomsmen knew this. We’ve known each other for a very long time (since childhood )and we’re all super close. (My groomsmen are M28, M28, M29, best man is M25). Before I met my fiancé, I was not a good person. I manipulated and used women (sexually and emotionally) all the time and thought it was cool/fun. This was partly because of my (then) unresolved trauma from women in my childhood.
When I graduated from college I started taking care of myself. Physically, emotionally, and most importantly mentally. I was able to afford therapy and really worked hard on myself to change and become a better man. My best man knew about this, and has followed my journey and has been generally very supportive. He too has started to see how toxic our behaviour was and is basically more or less on the same path to becoming a better person. Our other friends… not so much. But it’s not something that affects our friendship and they are much better with their behaviour in comparison to when we were younger.
I met my fiancé shortly after the changes I made. My fiancé really helped me heal from my trauma and has embraced me with all my flaws. I feel so loved and cared for and she’s the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Not to mention that her family has welcomed me since day 1. I’ve opened up to her about everything (she knows about my past) and she’s well aware of my friend group and how they are. She ended up actually encouraging me to have a bachelor party so I wouldn’t miss out on a once in a lifetime experience
I told the boys I didn’t want anything to do with strippers or strip clubs or any variation of naked/semi naked girls. They agreed. We went to a hotel with a casino and gambled for most the afternoon.
In the evening we went back to our room and drank some more and by the time it was 8/9pm I was completely wasted. This is where things took a turn for the worse. My groomsmen were talking to a group of girls when we were gambling in the afternoon who were doing a bachelorette party. They invited them to our room and they showed up at 9. So when they showed up, things got crazy. We all went to a club at which point I pretty much blacked out.
I remember telling my best man to take me back and that I didn’t feel good about being this drunk at a club but he just sort of shrugged and laughed it off. Next thing I remember is coming in and out of consciousness while one of the bridesmaids from the other party was unzipping my pants in her hotel room. I tried to push her away but kept blacking out and I even mustered enough energy to say out loud please stop I don’t want to. She kept going and I ended up finishing.
When I woke up the next morning i was back in our hotel room. I thought I had a terrible nightmare but I slowly started remembering everything, I began to have a panic attack. I woke everyone and tried to find out what happened. My groomsmen were being extremely dismissive and not taking it seriously but I pressed until one of them admitted that they thought it would be funny to convince one of the bridesmaids to take me back to her room and “give me one more night of fun” before I become trapped. I lost my shit and freaked out. I left without them and have been staying with my cousin until I figure out what to do next.
I called my fiancé and told her I need to postpone the wedding, i need time to think. The boys and my fiancé have been blowing up my phone, I’ve only been responding to my fiancé and reassuring her that it’s not her, it’s something with me. I sent one text one week later to my boys group chat telling them they are all uninvited. I obv told my fiancé about this but didn’t explain why. She, her family, and all the relatives of my friends have been calling me a complete AH and blowing up my phone non stop about the issue. The only people that know what happened are me, the boys and my cousin. I don’t have any other family. And my best man said he had no idea what they were up to and feels like shit for not being there to stop/protect me. I feel so lost. I haven’t slept for days. I can’t eat. I can’t think. I can’t breathe.
I can’t even look my fiancé in the face. I keep making excuses about why I’m staying with my cousin and the “I’m working through something” response I wearing thin. I feel sick every time I text her because I cheated. Even tho I didn’t want it, I finished and I feel like a horrible person. It feels like I regressed and with my history, I can’t trust myself anymore and how can I expect my fiancé to.
Update: So many of you have reached out to me and offered support. I appreciate all of you ❤️. I’ve decided to tell my fiancé everything. I’ve been convinced from the sheer amount of people telling me it’d be the right next move. I don’t know much but I do know that when 100s of people tell you the same thing, they’re probably correct. I texted her to meet tomorrow. I’m taking my cousin with me and I think I’m going to try to explain and have my cousin/this post as a back up. She seemed sort of relived/anxious that I agreed to meet. I’m aware that this could destroy everything we have so I really hope it all works out. Thank you all for pushing me to tell her. I’ll try to update as soon as I can.
I [M26]blew up my wedding by uninviting my groomsmen. How do I fix things? [Update] - Sep 08, 2022 (6 days later)
After reading through all the comments and getting a lot supportive dms, I decided to tell my fiancé everything.
I took my cousin with me and had a speech prepared (on paper). We decided to meet at our home, so my cousin and I drove to her. We pulled up to the drive way and my heart was pounding out my chest. I told my cousin I need to turn around and I couldn’t do this but they insisted and pushed me through it. As soon as I got out of the car my fiancé opened the front door and stared at me with an emotionless face. I thought we got off to a horrible start, I was dreading going inside.
We walk in and my fiancé directs us to our living room. At this point no one has said a word and you can cut the tension with a butter knife. My cousin and I sit on one couch, and my fiancé is sitting on the couch to the right of us, closest to me. I open by telling her that I’m really sorry about how I’ve been acting, and that she’s done nothing wrong. I pull out my paper letter and start shaking a lot, I try reading the first couple of sentences but eventually start to breakdown and have panic attack/cry.
My cousin grabbed the letter and continued reading the letter until I was able to grab it back and continue. The letter read like my first post, had a lot more apologies and emotion in it tho. When I finished I looked up and saw her extremely distraught and upset. She just stood up, said she needed a minute to think and went to the bathroom for a good half hour.
I didn’t know what to think, I was devastated and it was killing me inside. I didn’t know what she was thinking or what she was going to do next.
When she opened the bathroom door, she just ran up to me and hugged me, and started balling her eyes out. She kept saying that she was sorry about what happened to me, and that she wishes she was there to protect me. We spent the rest of the night talking about it, she was very supportive and was just mad that I didn’t come to her sooner. She’s furious with my (ex) best men and immediately texted her family (without all the details) to explain my side. She said something along the lines of “they did unforgivable things”. We’ve decided to postpone the wedding while we both figure out how to work through this.
My fiancé has already helped me connect with mental health resources that deal with assaults, I’ve already been to 2 session this week. She’s been extremely supportive and comforting.
We’re looking into next steps with the police to report the crime, although I don’t have much evidence. I honestly don’t care if I get Justice at this point, I’m just glad my fiancé believes me. I told her I was scared she would think I was lying because of my past, but she said she knows I’ve changed and that she fell in love with the person I am today.
As for my best men, I’ve got no contact since, it’s only been 6 days since I told my fiancé, so I’m still working through some stuff.
In the mean time, I’m happy I have the love of my life In my arms at night. I can rest easy at night. The nightmares have slowed/stopped.
I’ll try to update when I can in the future.
Thanks for the advice
I [M26]blew up my wedding by uninviting my groomsmen. How do I fix things? [Update 2] (removed by moderators; recovered from archive.org) - Sep 11, 2022 (3 days later)
This will be my last update for a while
I just want to thank everyone for the kind words and support in my inbox. Some of you even opened up about similar experiences and that really helped.
I’m not even close to being okay mentally, I constantly have panic attacks and anxiety randomly throughout the day. Sometimes unrelated things can trigger an attack, but I’m trying my best to fight and survive.
My fiancé has been my rock, and her family (her dad, mom and sisters) have been angels. They’ve even hired a private investigator to help with our police report that we’re filing. My fiancé’s dad is well connected in the legal world, and he’s connecting me with a lawyer who’ll be pretty much taking lead with my case.
In the mean time, all I can do is try working through my issues and trying to move on. It’s hard, not just for me, which kills me inside. I can see the pain this situation has caused my fiancé. I can see it in her eyes. It’s hard not to blame myself.
I’ve written personal letters to the parents of all my ex friends (groomsmen) explaining things. I mailed them out yesterday, I’m closing that chapter of my life, as I’ve also mentioned that in those letters. What they do with that information is their choice.
As for our wedding, we have decided to revisit things next year, maybe sooner depending on everything we’re dealing with right now. We know we don’t have to rush and can just take our time.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be okay, or if the panic attacks/anxiety will ever go. I hope the next time I update I’ll feel like I can breathe again.
Till next time…
I [M26]blew up my wedding by uninviting my groomsmen. How do I fix things? [Final Update] - Apr 20, 2023 (7 months later)
Hey everyone,
I have been constantly receiving messages about an update on my situation so I thought I’d loop you in on what’s been happening since the last time we spoke.
[...]
I want to quickly take a moment to thank you all for the supportive comments and messages through out this whole ordeal. It has meant the world to me.
Ok, now on to the highly requested update
After everything that went down it was really hard for me to piece my life back together. I did struggle with anxiety and ptsd from the incident. You have to understand, apart from my cousin, my friends were all the family I had left. To lose that so suddenly was brutal. Gut wrenching.
I tried therapy for a while, it helped until it didn’t. Life became a little dark and it put a strain on me and my fiancé’s relationship. I don’t blame her. We ended up breaking things off and went no contact. Between the panic attacks and the constant stress from the after math of our failed wedding, it was too much. In the span of 4 months I went from being sexually assaulted, to losing most of my family, to losing the love of my life. To say I’ve had it rough is an understatement.
My police case came to a dead end a week after I reported everything. Was told there was nothing I could do. From a legal stand point, I could have pursed a civil lawsuit but I don't have the resources for a legal battle with my ex groomsmen. I also don't have the emotional strength or courage to look them in the face after everything. Only one of them reached out. My best man. We had a chance to chat for a bit but I was very closed off and ended the interaction making it know that our friendship has pretty much come to an end. He was very emotional and told me he understood. It felt like I had cut my own arm off.
I will say though, my cousin has been my life line. She’s kept me alive through out this, and trust me, there were points when that was not easy for her. I was pretty much ready to go…
I stayed with my cousin and her BF for about a month after my break up, enough time for me to find a job out of state and move away from everything.
I’ve spent the last 5-6 months starting over. It was very hard at first but it’s true what they say. Time heals all things. I love what I do for work and most of my colleagues have become close friends. My boss is super chill and understanding. I’m neighbours with this cool hippy couple that has me over for dinner on a weekly basis AND I’m dating again. I haven't found someone specifically but it has been nice to have sex again. I don't mean that as a brag or to be crude, but I genuinely thought I wouldn't bring myself to enjoy sex ever again. It's weird, feels like I've discovered sex for the first time again.
I’m still a work I’m progress. But Im happy to report that I’m alive and trying!
My ex fiancé did attempt to contact me around Christmas/new years since she heard I was in town visiting my cousin. She wanted to talk. I don’t know what about. I decided not to reach back out. I felt it would destroy all the progress I’ve made. Not ready to open old wounds and all. She is the love of my life. Always will be. But I feel it’s too risky to let her back into my life again. If she broke my heart for round 2 I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t make it back this time.
For now, I’m alive and decently happy. I’ve got food in my belly and roof over my head. I have it better than most. I’m grateful.
Reminder - I am not the original poster.

2023.05.15 21:44 Throwawaybingbong1 WIBTA For not mowing the lawn?
Throwaway of course
I (m24) have lived with roommates since Nov 2019. Originally it was me, 'Tony'(m24), C(m26), and A(m22). Tony and I were the ones who started it, and he is one of my best friends.
In 2020, C and A both moved out for personal reasons. We got two new roommates Zee(m25) and 'Josh'(m21). Josh is Tonys little brother, which is why we let him move in right out of high-school. I didn't know him well at the time, but I trusted Tony and he promised his brother was just like him.
Josh was, in fact, not just like his brother. He and I have butted heads many times over the years, and it's been frustrating to say the least. In 2021, we got in an argument about household chores, which lead to us creating a schedule for all the shared household chores. This has been fine for the most part, as no one can argue and say 'It's not my turn' when we literally have a whiteboard stating whose turn is next. Sometimes if we are busy, we swap schedules with one another to make it easier, but we always keep track of the swaps. Josh has never once swapped with me, even if he had nothing going on, and despite the fact that I have for him.
In 2022, I stopped working a traditional job, because I've been doing well on YouTube. I make more than enough money from that, and I have wayyyy more free time because of it. I haven't had financial freedom like this ever, so I spend my time traveling and doing cool things in my state when I'm not making content. Josh has been irritated by this, and has called me lazy for not doing 'real work'. Josh and Tony work restaurant jobs, and Zee works for smoke shop. I still do all my scheduled chores, of course, and sometimes swap with Tony and Zee if they need me too or I need them too.
This brings us to mother's day. Earlier in the day when I was going to my mom's I saw our grass was getting long (since winter ended recently, no ones mowed yet). I checked the schedule and saw it was Josh's turn, so I messaged our group chat about it, and said we should probs get that done soon.
Josh comes home a couple hours later all huffy and confronts me. He said 'This week I am super busy with the food truck, and am gonna be working mostly mornings/days. I talked with Tony, and since you are just sitting around all day doing nothing, we agree you should mow the lawn instead.' He didn't ask me, he said this as if it was a guarantee. I told him that his work schedule wasn't my issue, and like everyone else he will need to get his chores done on his own schedule.
He reiterated that I will be doing 'nothing'. Which isn't true. My weekdays, from 10am-8pm is spent working on my videos with usually an hour break in between for lunch (Tony also didn't seem to know what J was talking about when he got home, and told his brother it's between him and I).
J has been angry with me and telling me I'm an asshole because of this, and trying to bad mouth me to our mutual friends (most of whom are ignoring him).
WIBTA if I continue my refusal and don't mow the lawn?

2023.05.15 13:18 Conny_and_Theo RICE Mod Dev Diary #35: Tuareg Flavor Pack and Updating RICE to the Tours & Tournaments DLC
| https://preview.redd.it/tl01kjzvazza1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96d418aed3094837869adb0d33693d08a5d411a9 I'm Cybrxkhan, creator of the Regional Immersion and Cultural Enrichment (RICE) mod, which adds simple "Flavor Packs'' to different parts of the world. Today's dev diary covers RICE's update to the Tours and Tournaments patch, and the accompanying small flavor pack, Tuareg: People of the Veil. Many thanks firstly to Paradox Interactive for giving me a head start on updating my mods. Unfortunately, due to IRL commitments, and the extensive work needed to update to T&T, this update is not available yet. Still, I am very excited to bring RICE up to speed with the newest patch and hope to officially release RICE 1.9.0 “Tagelmust” later this May! You can check out my mods' website, discord, and twitter for more info, previews, and updates. Lastly, if you have played the VIET or RICE mods before, please consider taking the 2023 VIET/RICE survey, which will close later in May. It is your chance to provide feedback on these mods, and at the end of the survey is an opportunity for you to vote* for your pick for a future South Asian flavor pack which will come out after the Tuareg update. *Vote is non-binding Tuaregs Now, onto the next update! The focus of the Tuareg flavor pack is, unsurprisingly, the Tuaregs, one of the more famous groups within the wider umbrella of the Amazigh (or Berber) peoples. Culture Tuareg culture now appears in the game and has a unique tradition, Kel Tagelmust, which has a few effects. It enforces monogamy, allows for equal gender inheritance, and makes the Dream Incubation activity cheaper (more on that later).

As such, by default, Tuareg culture isn't present initially at game start and must be "created" via the decision to Establish Tuareg Homeland, which is available to any sufficiently powerful Berber ruler who owns certain counties in the southern Sahara. https://preview.redd.it/zjjupuvjazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60717e70affe530d67fce5ae80f6cf2570eebd90 Taking the decision will put the Tuaregs on the map and, of course, convert you to Tuareg culture as well. https://preview.redd.it/tvy05efkazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73f4978fcd6742cff4206492952fa03ae08928a6 Since interpreting the history of cultures and identities for the CK3 context is a tricky, complicated issue, one could make the reasonable argument that the ancestors of the Tuareg should exist as Tuareg culture at game start as opposed to the default discussed above. As such, there is a new game rule to customize the emergence of the Tuaregs in various ways. Some options will override other mods' implementation of the Tuaregs, while the default option does not. https://preview.redd.it/tgp8gxvkazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04db83918071e4bf2747adddd48132026f049e48 Aïr At the tail end of CK3's timeframe, some Tuareg tribes formed a kingdom centered on the city of Agadez, called the Sultanate of Agadez or the Sultanate of Aïr. You now have a chance to surpass the real life extent of the Sultanate of Aïr with an alt history decision to Unite the Tuaregs. It is available to any sufficiently powerful Tuareg ruler. https://preview.redd.it/n8k06pelazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ea679f8a77b7996885baf205412ad3a03eac288 It will grant you the Empire of Aïr, among other things, such as a county modifier in your capital, the Tuareg Heartland, which gives a little boost to tax and development. https://preview.redd.it/wsx2uarlazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f0cdfce999851865afc01dbcaf1003354b65363 Dream Incubation Dream divination, particularly at tombs, has been a custom among many Amazigh peoples for centuries. For instance, Herodotus reported that the Nasamones, an ancient Libyan tribe, would sleep at the tombs of their forebears before making important decisions. The dreams they had would help them determine what course of action to take. https://preview.redd.it/bj4nb67mazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61da380a2c2ec1ef2dbc63283afce10e39da0cff Anyhow, making use of the new activity system from T&T is the Dream Incubation activity. It is available to anyone of a culture with Berber heritage, or a faith in the Amazigh religion. With the activity, you can potentially get modifiers that help you in various ways, depending on whether you seek counsel in personal, political, or communal matters. https://preview.redd.it/6w6jr8kmazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db36c7b7e4dd1950a866c9c5fa3c966b35d7745a Additionally, you can choose to sleep at the tomb of a random notable, your purported ancestor, or a local saint. The latter two are more expensive, but increase the chances of a successful result. Sleeping at an ancestor's tomb grants a small renown bonus regardless of whether you get a modifier, while that of a local saint gives a small prestige and piety bonus. https://preview.redd.it/rsryun0nazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1f403ffd8281545ee249e0975fffc69d9865436 Lastly, your choice of location influences your bonuses. Sleeping out in the wilderness (i.e. a tribal holding or an area without a holding) will grant you an additional, guaranteed piety or prestige bonus at the end. Temple holdings increase chances of success when sleeping at a saint's tomb, while towns do the same for ancestors. Activities for RICE Dream Incubation isn't the only activity in RICE that will be adapted to the new system. Many of the older activities have been adapted. https://preview.redd.it/dk4hxllnazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a56a860d31d017b804181f8cd8e118c850b067b2 Several will even be revamped with new tweaks and features. For instance, the life liberation decision introduced in the Magadha flavor pack now lets you choose where to do it, between a private ceremony, at a temple, or in public, with varying effects, on top of the original choice between the animals you want to liberate, which is now an activity option. https://preview.redd.it/ehkpr6loazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42856155130a00a24b838ffe016aa236336b4987 If I had to be honest, the new activity interface is a great way to make RICE’s activities look more substantial than they are! Old activities haven't changed significantly – they still mostly play the same as they had in previous versions of RICE, partly as I wanted to update as quickly as possible, and partly as the existing content sufficed as is. Overall, don't expect RICE activities to be anywhere near as impressive nor complex as vanilla's, but they will hopefully be fun flavor nonetheless. The old decisions that have been changed the most are those related to hot springs. They are now all bundled under one master activity, the Hot Springs Visit. Instead of separate decisions, you now directly choose to go to the special hot springs if they are in your realm. If there are no special hot springs available or you’re unwilling to travel that far, you can go to a non-special, generic hot springs in any province to lose some stress, but you won’t get any extra bonuses obviously. Besides the existing locations in RICE, a new unique hot springs location has been added to Tafafek in Agadez. Lastly, you can choose between doing a public or private visit – the former gives you a little prestige, but the latter reduces stress even more. https://preview.redd.it/0utkoi2pazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79d1ea0771f44f1a59837a28e799b46b97394afb Many older pilgrimage decisions in RICE will also be reworked similarly to be under one master activity, the Local Pilgrimage, but it only allows you to go to preset places instead of anywhere. Regardless, work has not started on it yet, because as of me writing this, I have only updated about two thirds of RICE’s old activity decisions (roughly 99% of my work updating RICE to the new patch is from updating the activities, to give an idea of how involved it is). To tease more, here are a few screenshots of some other revamped RICE activities. If you've played RICE before, I'm sure they'll help give a new fresh coat of paint for the old activities and events! https://preview.redd.it/3hhsiyfqazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e8a04a11e7f2b4680163a87efa3cbd5d056c49e https://preview.redd.it/c7to3nwqazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45ee96f7faaa133800fb3bf69cf1aeff05588a66 https://preview.redd.it/dp9n5cjrazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a3c6fa8721c543b5f313ed43e14c983eb165f92 https://preview.redd.it/atyj9jzrazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dda8af109195d7639b133dfe6fbd0973815fd07f Other Changes There will be other changes to accompany the update. For example, some traditions will be updated to provide bonuses related to travel speed and safety. https://preview.redd.it/80ug8visazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=013884323745fa1bbc0071fd673e9c87c2636b41 Some content from the Rajas of Asia mod will be integrated as well (with permission), mainly ROA’s various Siberian paganisms. Further integration of ROA miscellany will hopefully come later this year as I revamp and add to previous RICE content for the Silk Road and the Indian Ocean. (For anyone wondering, RICE has been compatible with ROA for a good while now.) https://preview.redd.it/uj5gf6ysazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36bfa3cda60e2f8c596a7ba6d01a280282be4962 A few new travel options will also be added based on previously added content for RICE, such as traditions or innovations. Dog Mushers is one example, which reduces travel speed and improved safety in forests and taiga, unlocked with the Dog Sleds innovation that came with the North Atlantic Flavor Pack. Hopefully they will make things feel flavorful or more unique as you travel around the world! https://preview.redd.it/pjprybttazza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad72bc8a75c92e1292d4800f67ccacd83bd7edbd VIET/RICE Survey Speaking of the Indian Ocean… as a reminder, please check out the VIET/RICE 2023 Survey if you have time!

2023.05.15 13:18 Conny_and_Theo RICE Mod Dev Diary #35: Tuareg Flavor Pack and Updating RICE to the Tours & Tournaments DLC
| https://preview.redd.it/0vymfzse9zza1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92774495bf995e257196979cb03ad906bca3bb5f I'm Cybrxkhan, creator of the Regional Immersion and Cultural Enrichment (RICE) mod, which adds simple "Flavor Packs'' to different parts of the world. Today's dev diary covers RICE's update to the Tours and Tournaments patch, and the accompanying small flavor pack, Tuareg: People of the Veil. Many thanks firstly to Paradox Interactive for giving me a head start on updating my mods. Unfortunately, due to IRL commitments, and the extensive work needed to update to T&T, this update is not available yet. Still, I am very excited to bring RICE up to speed with the newest patch and hope to officially release RICE 1.9.0 “Tagelmust” later this May! You can check out my mods' website, discord, and twitter for more info, previews, and updates. Lastly, if you have played the VIET or RICE mods before, please consider taking the 2023 VIET/RICE survey, which will close later in May. It is your chance to provide feedback on these mods, and at the end of the survey is an opportunity for you to vote* for your pick for a future South Asian flavor pack which will come out after the Tuareg update. *Vote is non-binding Tuaregs Now, onto the next update! The focus of the Tuareg flavor pack is, unsurprisingly, the Tuaregs, one of the more famous groups within the wider umbrella of the Amazigh (or Berber) peoples. Culture Tuareg culture now appears in the game and has a unique tradition, Kel Tagelmust, which has a few effects. It enforces monogamy, allows for equal gender inheritance, and makes the Dream Incubation activity cheaper (more on that later). The tradition is available only to the Tuaregs and cultures descended from them. https://preview.redd.it/28t7p79o9zza1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66e7f1a9cf4542da37b6966f3fc2f4243b5130ef Historical Decisions Although the Tuaregs did not emerge as a distinct identity until late in the CK3 timeframe (to my knowledge), tribes who are direct ancestors of the Tuaregs are of course in vanilla, like the veiled Sanhaja or Massufa.

2023.05.13 19:34 MikeRafone69 planning to get rid of my crazy ass toxic gf
LONG POST ALERT ⚠️
Call me a despicable human who have no remorse of consequences of his actions but i still need another angle for my plan. I would rather be in healthy mental state than being called a moron.
I (M26) have been in a relationship with my girlfriend (23) for about a year.
Back story: She and i have been good friends for about 5 years untill now. She got into a relationship with my online friend. It lasted for 2 years. He used to tell me she is crazy and psycho, but i didn't believe him as she seemed really lovely as a friend. She broke up with him in the start of 2021 and we got into relationship in March 2022. First 6 months went really sweat, she seemed really understanding and I was happy. I thought what a moron he was to lose such a gem. But problems started after some time gradually. She started acting impulsive, over possessive. She probably suffers from abandonment trauma. She fights on petty things. She fought for days once i said "how are you?" Instead of "how are you love?". My mistake was to give her my commitment within that "sweat" period. In short mental health chud gai hai bilkul hi.
I have told my concerns to her on multiple occasions that this is not healthy, but she doesn't seem to understand. It's about time i have had enough. I need to break up with her or want her to mend her ways. There is no middle ground for me.
The plan i am about to pursue would probably shake moral and ethical values of a decent human being, but i am okay to live with that if I achieve my mental peace at the end.
Once her ex, who was my online friend sent me her nudes. At that time, i just wanted to see some tiddies and rub one out. It was unethical on my part and i still regret not stopping him when he sent me. I still have them saved in my backups probably (would have to dig since it's from old times).
I can't just simply go and tell her that i wanna breakup, i have my reasons. So the plan is to send those pics through an unknown number to my whatsapp and show the screenshots to her and ask her what it is. I wanna play innocent by saying i can't imagine her being seen by other man like this and i need some time to rub this memory of my brain (in reality i had accepted her knowing her past already). Now, i know she has abandonment phobia. If this works, I'd simply ask her to change her behavior or we breakup.
I, ofcourse can't discuss this with any of my friends for obvious reason but i need more angles to this plan. You can call me names, but after that I'd like to have some other perspective on this.

2023.05.13 19:20 Merv-McCringleberry Birb - Mallard (domestic)
2023.05.12 02:59 lydsart3 AITA for going out for drinks with cousins while knowing some wouldn’t want to go?
Will try to give enough context! My (F24) mom has two sisters who each have two children. One aunt has two daughters Hannah (F27) and MaKayla (F24) and my other aunt has two sons Isaiah (M25) and Tate (M24). There is also my brother Ryan (M26). These are current ages but the incident happened a year ago in 2022. As kids we were close and would have family reunions at my grandparents house every summer. The last time we were able to get together before covid was 2018. We recently got together for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary in 2022. Hannah and Makayla are definitely more social butterflies. Isaiah and Tate live are more introverted. Also context - Isaiah is autistic (Asperger’s) and experiences a lot of social anxiety. My brother and I feel like we help connect everyone.
We got to be together for a couple days and then had the big dinner for our grandparents. After the dinner for my grandparents anniversary, Hannah, MaKayla, Ryan and I wanted to go out to a few bars. We knew that Isaiah for sure would not want to go and Tate maybe would. Ryan said he offered to do some low key stuff downtown and not be in the bar with the two boys, but I wasn’t there for that conversation. Ryan also said he asked them both three separate times if they were okay with the others going out, and they told him yes (but again, I wasn’t there for that). We hang out in the air bnb for a bit, playing Uno. Makayla and I come up with some drinking game rules for it. Isaiah seems game and says he’ll drink water while we’re drinking seltzers. Tate drinks with us. We’re all also vaping except for Isaiah.
After playing for a bit, we still decide to go out to drink, and both guys said they want to stay in. I had a really fun time drinking with my cousins, I will definitely say I fit into more of a stereotypical party college girl and like going out like that, and they do too. The next morning, we go from the air bnb over to my grandparents house. Finally around noon someone tells us that Isaiah, Tate, and their parents had packed up and left early that morning because they were upset that we went out instead of staying in with them. Tate had said he felt pressured to drink and smoke with us.
I felt terrible. I tried to talk to Isaiah a little bit later in the week but it was clear that he was really hurt and angry. Hannah was engaged and we’re going to her wedding soon. She invited that whole family. Our aunt is coming, but the others aren’t and Isaiah sent Hannah a pretty rude text about not coming. My mom asked if I would be okay sharing a rental car and hotel room with my aunt over Hannah’s wedding. I said yeah and I’m glad I’ll have a chance to apologize to her in person. My mom said she doesn’t think her sister will want to talk about it (she’s also pretty hurt). No I feel awkward.
TLDR: We were planning to go out for drinks all day knowing fully that other cousins wouldn’t like that scene and wouldn’t want to go. AITA?

2023.05.12 00:24 PonziSchemePro232 Come gestire uscita da Moneyfarm ed inizio con Broker
Ciao a tutti! M26, ho una bella questioncina da sottoporre al vaglio, confusione e dubbi, quindi dovrete un attimo mettervi comodi.
A marzo 2021 ho iniziato con un Moneyfarm P7, ad oggi controvalore 32K circa con PAC da 600/mese, il tutto in negativo del 5% circa.
Negli ultimi mesi ho studiato un po' e mi sono deciso dopo tanto a voler passare ad un Directa regime Amministrato full VWCE o Lifestrategy80 (su questo devo ancora decidere per i vari pro/contro delle 2 scelte)
A questo punto, ho anche iniziato ad interrogarmi su quale potrebbe essere il miglior modo per gestire la migrazione, e qui viene il bello. Come saprete Moneyfarm è in "Regime Gestito", ed il mio controvalore al 31/12/2022 era in negativo di 4.6K circa rispetto al controvalore 31/12/2021. Questo dovrebbe significare (correggetemi se sbaglio) che ho un credito fiscale di cui potrò usufruire i 31/12 dei prossimi 4 anni per compensare la minusvalenza.
Dubbio 1: Disinvestimento
cosa fare per convenienza? disinvestire tutto non appena sarò in pari? aspettare di essere in positivo di almeno 4.6K (quindi anni) per poi disinvestire e sfruttare al massimo la minusvalenza? disinvestire tutto subito a prescindere? Non faccio nemmeno un elenco puntato perché ho solo elencato 3 delle opzioni possibili senza tutti i casi di mezzo, confido anche in voi per farmi riflettere su qualcosa che mi sta sicuramente sfuggendo.
In tutto questo dovrei anche considerare che prima tolgo € da moneyfarm prima vado ad evitare il famoso 0.75% + IVA , mentre mettendoli su Directa vanno subito in regime Amministrato molto più conveniente fiscalmente nel lungo termine.
Si origina quindi l'altro dilemma
Dubbio 2: Ingresso in Directa
come dovrei entrare?
mi trovo in difficoltà nel bilanciare correttamente il costo opportunità in questa "migrazione" di capitale che vorrei fare.
mi sorge anche la domanda "come gestire il PAC nel frattempo?"
Spostare 600/mese da Moneyfarm a Directa, così da partire subito col broker?
Continuare il PAC su Moneyfarm e "migrare" il tutto solo al momento del disinvestimento?
Splittare il PAC in 2, un tot Moneyfarm e un tot Directa?
Si, c'è abbastanza caos sull'agire ma più che altro indecisione per non avere un chiaro driver di scelta, vedo pro e contro ovunque.
Qualsiasi aiuto, critica, suggerimento sono ben accetti, sono qua apposta.
Grazie a tutti per il tempo speso nella lettura, have fun!
