I love love LOVEEEEEEthis show. I've seen season 1 and 2 start to finish at least 7 times if not more.

I'm very late to the party due to awful things happening in my life but I'm back and I wanted some comfort and is it just my opinion that this show seems to have become a caricature of itself? I've paused 3 times so far in the first 22 minutes because everyone is being SO CRINGE! they are all funny. They were all kind of extra but why are they being cartoons in this one? Is it just me? Did no one else think that? Does it get better or is everything the same tonal quality through out?

Edit: so with a little support I was able to power through episode 1. One final thought. What the fuck did they do to Meg? Lily rabe is my beloved but fucking hell why did they make her into a cartoon! I really really hope it picks up from here.

We are moving from Islamabad to Karachi and are looking for a reliable cost effective moving company. If anyone has had any good experiences, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

​

I want to know how would others who aren't cowering behind 'protecting my peace' handle this?

​

After a contentious back and forth with my landlady about a sudden rise in meter costs due to an issue with the property, I told her I could no longer keep paying it. I had already been paying this additional amount for the past three months while she attempted to get the issue fixed, but the amount was getting too high, and I am only a tenant.

​

She insisted I had to pay and said it would cost her thousands to fix the issue, along with the stress of running after the relevant authorities. My view was that this is ultimately a property issue, and she is the property owner, so I did not understand why that burden was being passed on to me. I told her that if I was still expected to keep paying a much larger amount, I would be vacating.

​

Her response was, “You may vacate,” as if I had asked for her permission.

​

For context, she has been an awful landlady. She takes very little care of the property or its tenants. She picks and chooses what she will agree to get fixed, and even then, I am usually the one who has to find the repair person, supervise the work, arrange my schedule around it, and get the cost approved by her (for my own unit of course not everyone else's) I have been doing this for the past four years because the place was close to my work and the location was convenient.

​

After I told her I would vacate, she messaged asking when I would be available because some people wanted to view the property. I politely told her after 6 pm.

​

The people came to view it. The landlady was not with them, but the agent was. I was standing quietly while the agent spoke to them. Then the agent told them they could ask me questions. They did, and I answered honestly. I stayed to the point. I wanted to tell them to run, but I did not. I was polite and honest. I also mentioned the few positives, such as the location and safety.

​

This morning, I woke up to a message from the landlady saying she appreciated that I let them view the property, but in the future I should keep my personal opinions to myself and let the agent handle it.

​

I was furious. I replied that it was her agent who explicitly invited them to ask me questions, and that I answered politely and respectfully. I also said I have no interest in engaging with strangers who come into my home, and if she has a problem with that, she can perhaps schedule viewings after I have vacated.

​

She then responded by saying that she has the right to visit the property and that it is written in the contract. I did not respond to that message.

​

I am conflict avoidant, but I am fuming. What I wanted to say was: sure, you may have the right to visit with my permission, but you do not have the right to police my speech. I am a grown woman. If I am addressed directly, I will answer as I see fit. If you want to lie or misrepresent your property, I will not be party to that. You can wait until I have vacated.

​

I did not say anything mean during the viewing. I answered the questions I was asked, stayed to the point, and even mentioned the few good things about the place. Now I am shaking with anger, but I do not want to continue the exchange because I still have to live here for about a month and I want to avoid further ugliness.

​

I only want to hear womens opinions and not everyone else's so I'm posting here.

​

​

Does anyone else find themselves inundated with all flavours of rage??

​

I do not know what to do about it and I was wondering if anyone has experienced this. Every bad instant that has happened in my life personal and professional has filled me with so much pent up anger. Every thing seems like a personal attack to me. Everything sends me spiralling I find myself gritting my teeth so often and I know that's now how you're meant to live but I also don't know what to do.

​

In a lot of instances I am perhaps to blame, for not speaking up sooners, for not leaving sooner, for not shutting something down etc. A lot of those decisions were driven by fear but then I find this rage in my stomach that doesn't ever leave. I find myself relitigating instances that have already happened, what if I'd said this what If I had done that. It's exhausting and I am very tired.

Edit: thanks to everyone that offered insight and perspective. Definitely made me feel less alone. To all the ones that suggested perimenopause, I've carried this anger since I was a teen and life events have just compounded it over time, so it's definitely not recent.

Does anyone else bawl their eyes out every time they see this episode? When midge is over there on the sofa and she looks at Susie and Susie just holds her heart. Man I cry every single time and I cried while typing this.

Rewatched Jake and Amy's wedding episode just now and "your butt, your butt is the bomb, there will be no survivors", the immediate uncontrollable way in which Jake cries at this is my most favourite, most genuine reaction of his love towards Amy in the whole show! It feels so real and un-exaggerated! "You're my dream girl"😭😭

I am INCENSED! I know it's not fair to expect all books to be closely rooted in reality especially when dealings with people struggling with mental health issues and trauma, it's not fair to expect their actions to be logical and coherent but O0OOOOF i am pissed! If the issue and motivation stayed close to Rosa Hartung I would've been ok. Sure it's understandable, not right, not logical, not defensible but understandable.

What the hell was up with the other mothers man! If you're there and you're witnessing abuse happening under your nose why are you creatively and brutalling butchering the women! Most of whom are struggling themselves! There is a small portion of the story and motivation that made sense to me but the actual main serial killing was extremely uncool and not backed with good enough reasoning.

also doesn't help that I finished The Whisper Man a day ago and I had not gotten over the absolute horror and unfairness of the way that ended!

I really like her despite her very very annoying traits. But she's flawed and that's a real human. But the episode where she meets Jake's mum for the first time gets on my nerves so so bad. I just finished it on my 54 milionth rewatch of the show and I can't stand it ! Jake's going through something truly traumatizing when he finds out his mum and dad are dating and instead of supporting him she's fawning over his high school photos ? Nose ring? What the fuck! And the itsy bitsy spider bit makes me literally want to throw up. You're a grown adult man! Have you never talked to adults before ? You're in your 30s have you never met someone's parents before ?!

Rant end

I truly don't hate amy. It's just this episode and then the final season when she makes Jake compromise his career because she forced him to have a kid.
