I’m 28F and currently preparing for an important medical entrance exam. I’ve been living at home and studying for most of the year, and I’ve barely had any social life during this period.
My exam is coming up, and after it I really want to spend 2–3 days with my friends at my hostel. I want to relax, meet everyone, go out, and just feel normal again after spending so long studying.
The problem is my dad is completely against it. His attitude is basically: “Come straight home. Stay at home. Once the result comes, if it’s good, then you can go out and meet people. If the result isn’t good, there’s no reason for you to go anywhere.”
What frustrates me is that I’m an adult. I understand that I’m currently financially dependent on my parents, so I can’t completely ignore their opinion, but I also feel suffocated by the idea that I need permission to spend 2–3 days with my friends after an exam.
I’ve already spent almost the entire year at home studying. My friends will all be together after the exam, and honestly, being forced to stay home while watching everyone else meet up and post on Snapchat would make me feel awful.
I really don’t want to fight with my parents after the exam, though. I want to convince them beforehand and have them actually be okay with me going—not have a huge argument and leave anyway.
For those of you who have dealt with strict/controlling parents as an adult:
How would you approach this conversation psychologically? What would you say to convince them without making them feel like I’m challenging their authority?
Also, am I being unreasonable for wanting this much freedom after the exam, or is their “wait for the result before you’re allowed to enjoy yourself” mindset actually excessive?
Pata hai aaj kya hua... A few years ago, my ex cheated on me with his current girlfriend during a rough phase in our relationship. Back then I warned her once that if he could cheat on a long-term relationship so easily, he could eventually do the same to her too. After that, I stayed out of their relationship completely.
For the next 3 years, he still kept contacting me through random apps after being blocked everywhere calls, “miss you,” “love you,” "wanna meet you" " he used to get drunk at times and bang my door", all while being with her. I never went out of my way to tell her anything because I felt I had already warned her once.
Recently she finally found out he was talking to multiple girls and also still messaging me. SHE contacted me first asking for help, clarity, and the truth. We talked for hours. She cried, vented, asked questions, and I genuinely supported her girl to girl. I told her about my experience, his patterns, and the cheating stories mutual friends had told me over the years. She herself cursed him, made fun of him in every manner she could.
She promised me this conversation would stay between us. And she would become so called baddy and take revenge on him now , and asked me to never tell him anything.
Now here’s the funny part.
The VERY NEXT DAY, my ex contacted me AGAIN asking if we could meet.
That annoyed me so much that I texted his girlfriend saying, “he is pathetic.”
And suddenly she switched sides completely.
She took only THAT screenshot, sent it to him, and then told him about our entire conversation from the previous day TWISTING EVERYTHING,
She conveniently skipped the part where SHE contacted me first asking for help, skipped the part where HE was still messaging me behind her back, and instead made it sound like I was randomly trying to poison her against him.
Now my ex is calling me saying, “Why are you ruining my image? Why are you lying about me?”
Honestly, what bothers me most isn’t even that she told him. It’s that she lied while telling him. If she had simply told him the actual truth, he probably wouldn’t even have had the confidence to call and harass me afterward.
Lesson learned: sometimes people don’t want honesty, they just want material for their relationship drama.
Now I want you guys to suggest, shall I call/ text my ex and tell him the truth or let him think whatever she feeds him?
