Asking because I can take a place with about 280 sqft, kinda small but the unit is renovated nicely, location is really nice and it’s all utilities. Just wanna know people’s experience living in a small studio
I’m 23 and I just started a month ago on my very first ever construction job, don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining but I’m probably actually working maybe like 1-2 hrs out of the 8 per day, just pump water and clean up and thats about it. Last few days theres been no water to pump and the site is clean so I’m just walking around doing nothing but garbage every few hours. I’ll play around on the Skidsteer once in a while when it’s free but thats it.
I feel bad cause everyone else is working and I’m just here walking around looking like I’m cleaning but in reality I have nothing to do. My boss said once we’re off ground level I’ll have more to do but there’s nothing right now
TLDR; broke up with gf weeks ago, shes not taking the breakup well and not accepting the breakup, so I plan on living with my mother until she leaves but ex gf is saying not to leave her alone there because she can’t live without me.
I 23M just broke up with my gf 3 weeks ago and we’ve been living together the last 2 months but it’s just me on the lease. Maybe I’m wrong for breaking up with her but her mental health has gotten so bad and she’s been taking all bad things out on me by yelling at me and not respecting boundaries. I told her she would have until August 1st to find living arrangements as she had just started her job the day prior to the breakup.
Everyday since the breakup shes begged me to stay, and that begging has made me more uncomfortable each day and it’s gotten so bad I’ve considered calling the police due to harassment. Things like holding me down, begging me in my ear while I’m trying to sleep, threatening to hurt herself. I week ago I had to catch a flight for a work trip she didn’t want me going on but I decided to go anyway cause I wanted to, I was getting ready to leave for it and she started begging and I told her to stop, she didn’t listen so I then tried to leave but she held me down and blocked the door for hours, saying she’ll k*** herself if I leave so I finally dialled 911, which they never came ffs but then she then let me go.
I came back from the trip and she had cuts all over her body, shes down like 10lbs since I left and probably a good 20lbs over the last month cause she hasn’t been eating and just barfing every single day. But she’s still acting like we’re still together, telling me not to talk to certain women platonically, trying to kiss me and cuddle me constantly. When I tell her no she breaks down into crying and she’ll start barfing and whatnot. Showing me these weird TikToks about “you’ll regret your decision” and a bunch of other bs
My mom said she’s very okay with me coming back to stay with her until she’s gone, I mentioned this to my ex gf and she basically said she can’t eat sleep or really do anything without me present. Then did the same begging thing she does like hooding me down and calling me baby and stuff. Obviously I’m standing firm on my decision and will be going back home next week until she leaves but is it bad I’m leaving her there?
TLDR; broke up with gf 2 weeks ago and shes doing everything to get me to get back with her; begging me, trapping me in the house to say yes, holding me down, which is making me uncomfortable. Stuck with her until August 1st and need to know how to manage her
I know this is technically breakup but since we live together and the context in itself kinda applies to a relationship, I thought it would be appropriate to post here
I 23M broke up with my now ex gf 20F about 2 weeks ago and we moved in together not even 2 months ago, I sited we’re both not ready for a relationship as her mental health is really bad as is mine right now. We’re working on her finding living new arrangements and she should be gone by August 1st. It’s just me on the lease but she’s listed under as an occupant so I had to give her a formal notice.
However shes not really accepting the breakup, every day since she begs me to make things work, tries to force me to kiss her and cuddle her and gets mad when I don’t, she’ll block the door when I wanna go to work just to get a yes out of me, she’ll keep me up ALL night just to beg me, she’ll hold me down a when I try to leave to see friends, shes calling me delusional for even thinking we’re both not ready, all in all she doesn’t accept my boundary and still isn’t, and it’s making me very uncomfortable, so last week I went on vacation to kind of get away from all of that. Which was also a hassle in itself because she blocked me off from leaving the house to catch my flight so I had to threaten to call the cops to help me, which is then when she let me go.
I have no clue how to manage or handle this, do I just kick her out now? I’m losing so much sleep all cause shes just begging me to make this work

I’ve also reconnected with a 2 female friends who she forced me to cut off during the relationship, purely platonic relationships but she takes it as me trying to sleep with them or do a rebound. She asks me to stop talking to them but I tell her I won’t and shes very upset with that, I feel kind of wrong for not doing it but she’s also still making me uncomfortable by begging me every single day.
What do I do until August 1st? I genuinely am lost
I’m 22M living in Oshawa making about $31.5/hr as a construction labourer, my wage will be at $33.5/hr this Sept then next Sept I will be at $36.5/hr as I move up to a higher level. I grew up in Mississauga and I just moved here in February on my own to get a feel of paying rent and whatnot, it’s one of the cheaper parts of South ON thats not too far from Toronto hence why I chose it.
I don’t plan on staying in Oshawa any longer than 2 years, just wanna know once the 2 years is up what a good place to move to? My job doesn’t require me to live anywhere specific and I might just end up joining a different company if it really came down to it. This is what I look for in a city:
Decent night life; don’t care about clubs or whatnot just somethings I can do that are open till midnight like a bar or cafe
Not extremely isolated; I don’t mind outskirts or suburbs but nothing too far from a major city
Decent ethnic culture; not super picky about this but as a POC I just wanna be able to have diverse food options and also see other POC’s
Cost of living; just anything more affordable than the Toronto area, don’t even mind staying Toronto but not sure if my wage can afford it.
I’m 21 and it’s my first time working construction, I’m 3 days in and I’m a general labourer and some guys have been good but others, my foreman specifically is such a dick. I’ve kept my head down and basically have just turned my head every time he says something dumb but I’m kinda getting sick of the shit and it’s only been 3 days.
I’m so new and don’t know much I don’t wanna just blow up on him so what’s the best approach? I just wanna learn these things and hes just being a dick about everything I don’t know
I’m 24 and been trying to break into construction since I got out of high school. Just got offered a lvl 2 general labourer position with CLAC but I haven’t seen anything positive in regards to the union. Side by side with that I have the option to join the actual construction company partnered with them who takes on CLAC’s union workers as a labourer but everyone is telling me not to due to the pension and whatnot CLAC has
Just wanna know peoples opinions, I’m gonna take the position most likely as it pays better when what I’m doing for work right now but just wanna know what I’m getting into
Long story short, I've tried to dump my gf 3 different times within this calendar year, every single time she's begged me and guilted me into staying by using her poor mental health as an excuse. She lives with me so it's a bit trickier to do so, but it's just me on the lease
How do I get her to dump me? Ill do anything atp
TLDR; gf and I just moved in together, no longer wanna live with her, we made a prior agreement that she would take over lease and I would leave if things didn't work out and she's not holding up to her side of the agreement.
My gf 20F and I 23M have only been together for 8 months and we moved in together just a few weeks ago, I’m the only person on the lease as she didn’t have a job while applying but she now does. I take full accountability for even letting this happen but I DID NOT want this to happen, month 2 of the relationship she asked me if we could do it as she didn’t wanna live in her abusive household any longer, and I initially said yes but backed out days later, stating that we're moving way too quickly. She then begged me and subliminally threatened to harm herself if we didn’t do it so I did it out of guilt, she knows that as well as I’ve emphasized that I only did it cause she threatened herself.
We made an agreement that if things don’t work out at any time, she would take over the lease as long as she had a job, and I would leave and find my own place. I drive and she doesn’t so it would be 10x easier for me to leave anyway. Well a few weeks into the move it’s been more than not working for me. This has just made me wanna live on my own quite frankly so I told her this yesterday and asked if we can go through with our agreement and she basically is refusing cause she says shes too scared to live on her own and she doesn’t want me to leave her there.
Now I can just technically tell her to leave and find her own place, cause I’m the sole lease holder and I plan on doing that if I have to, but is there any clean way to approach this at all? I also don't want us to break up but have no issue having to do so if it came to it
I just moved to Oshawa a few months ago with my now ex gf but now I'm looking for my own place, I see some units right near Simcoe and Bond st that are priced within my budget. I was just living on Simcoe and Gibb and never really had any issues here but I've heard bad things about downtown. Is it really that bad to avoid living in?
