Hey everyone,
I just need to vent and get some outside perspective because my head is spinning. My girlfriend and I just broke up, and it happened in the middle of a massive emotional and physical storm.
Lately, she’s been dealing with a lot of anxiety and physical exhaustion. On top of that, her body was recovering from taking a second emergency contraceptive pill in a very short timeframe, and her hormones were completely hijacked. Yesterday, we had a heavy conversation and she explicitly admitted to me, "I am thinking out of my mind only right now." She knew she wasn't operating at 100%.
But this morning, things completely boiled over. I made the mistake of trying to call her to fix things, and it completely suffocated her. She put up a massive, rigid wall and texted me: "U have to do what u gotta do, I’m sorry but I can’t be here for u no more. I truly wish u the best, but I hope u respect that I do not want updates from now on." Shortly after, she turned her location off.
She has a history of an on-and-off relationship with her ex before me, so her default coping mechanism when life gets heavy or overwhelming is to panic, pull the ripcord, and run away to find immediate relief.
It hurts so bad because I know I did my absolute best for us to be together. Even though she has her reasons, it feels unbearable right now. Today, I took my power back—I turned my location off, left her text on absolute silence, and deleted every single photo of her and us together from my phone. I am choosing to completely detach and start a new life.
But tonight, the pain just hit me like a truck. I missed her so much that I slipped up and drank some alcohol to try and numb the noise, and it’s just making the longing and sadness feel ten times heavier.
I’m holding the line. I haven't texted her, I'm not going to break the silence, and thankfully I don't have a shift at work tomorrow so I can actually process this in private. I guess I'm just looking for some support or advice from anyone who has dealt with a partner pulling the plug during a high-stress or hormonal episode. How do you handle the urge to reach out when the pain is this intense?
Thanks for reading

M(20) Hey everyone, looking for some insight. My girlfriend F(20) and I have a serious relationship, usually talking 24/7. Two days ago, she had to take plan b pill (levonorgestrel 1.5mg). This is actually her second time taking it recently.
Within 24 hours, her mood completely flipped. She went from totally fine to massive anxiety, intense irritability, and ended up completely blowing up on me, saying she wants an out and she doesn’t wanna continue relationship no more and kept on saying sorry endlessly to me.
Because I didn't fully realize how brutal the physical/emotional impact of a second dose would be, I was just acting normal and a bit goofy around her, which completely set her off.
Can hitting the body with that level of synthetic hormones for a second time cause someone to totally switch up and kill a relationship overnight? Did my energy just push an already overwhelmed system over the edge? I’m giving her absolute space right now, but I’m trying to understand the reason behind how fast this happened. Thanks.

The Situation:
• Medical Leave: I am on a doctor-ordered medical leave (non-union). When I gave my boss the note, he texted me saying if I miss my Saturday shift, I’m fired.
• Workplace Violence: A coworker threatened me ("I’ll show you after work"). I reported it to the owner; he did nothing. Now he's using my medical leave to push me out.
My Questions:

1. Is firing me for a medical note a Section 74 ESA Reprisal?
2. Does his failure to investigate the threat violate OHSA Section 32?
3. If he fires me, should I go to the Ministry of Labour or a lawyer?

Hi everyone,
I’m a 20M working in maintenance for a large, publicly traded senior living corporation in the GTA. I’m also a newcomer/refugee claimant. I’ve been dealing with a supervisor who is making my life a nightmare, and I need to know my legal rights in Ontario.
Here is what is happening:
• Intrusive Surveillance: My supervisor spends a large portion of his shift sitting in the office watching me on the facility’s security cameras. He specifically told me he does this to "check if I’m doing the garbage" (which I always do). He admitted he is tracking my every move, which feels like targeted harassment rather than actual building security.
• False Theft Accusations: He has told other staff and management that I stole a lottery ticket. He has zero proof and hasn't called the police, but he is spreading this rumor to ruin my reputation.
• Harassment & Constructive Dismissal: He sends aggressive texts on my days off and recently told me, "If you don't want to work here, let me know," which feels like he is trying to pressure me into resigning.
• Pattern of Behavior: I am not the only one; he has a history of targeting other staff members in similar ways.
I have already started a "paper trail" by emailing the General Manager and my employment counselor. I am also seeing a doctor tomorrow for the physical stress (anxiety, lightheadedness, shaking) this is causing and I had to leave the work early today within couple hours.
My questions for the community:

1. Is it legal in Ontario for a supervisor to use security cameras designed for "resident safety" to micromanage a specific employee's basic tasks like taking out trash?
2. Does the false accusation of theft count as slander/defamation in a workplace context?
3. Since I am a refugee claimant, are there specific "vulnerable worker" protections I can cite in a Human Rights complaint?
4. How should I handle a massive corporate HR department when a supervisor is clearly "going rogue"?
   I want to protect my job and my reputation. Any advice on how to handle the next steps would be appreciated.
