Has anyone been asked to tour?? has anyone chosen it? I was asked to submit docs weeks ago and haven’t heard I’m log 16XX

the producers really didn’t have to do anything but put some clips together to show the boys true colors. KC isn’t evil but he moved loud and wrong. Aniya isnt perfect but she sensed something was off and he was playing it safe!!! If he wasn’t then he would’ve explored Sol or just told Aniya he’s very open. All the men are too scared to hurt peoples feelings so they’d rather be two faces instead as we can see. I saw some people say that ganging up on KC but not Sincere was colorism. I’m black and I can say that I really don’t think it’s colorism. KC stood up and over the girls which was extremely unnecessary and was not going to mitigate anything and also says he spoke “life” into Aniyah which allows him to explore and NOT be happy for her. Sincere will get his fair share of words in the next episode as we can see!

This was one of the most heated movie nights I’ve ever seen and I’ve been a watcher of love island franchise for almost a decade. I’m ngl the takes from the watchers from new seasons are sooo off based and make the show annoying and impossible to discuss online. Idk why there’s so much vitriol! This is the second year where I’m actually looking forward for this show to end so people can stop acting insane

EDIT: I also wanna point out that no one came at sincere (yet) because Melanie was extremely emotional and didn’t want to say anything. Plus everyone was GAGGED at his clip and were probably trying to process the BS he was trying to spew after

I have an Aquarius friend who has been causing me a lot of anxiety. I feel like I can’t be open and honest about my life because she always has a shady comment. Something backhanded to say or just things that aren’t nice in general sometimes she can be pleasant but for the most part she isn’t.

We became friends and it was really nice, but as the year has gone on every time, I would introduce her to someone they would have an issue and I would find myself having to defend her saying she know she’s an only child or that like she’s just a little blunt, but she means well but now I just can’t shake some of the comments she said about me and my relationship.

Constantly invalidating it by saying our other friend’s relationships are “legit” and calling me “stupid” when I was telling her how we were navigating our relationship in the early days bc my boyfriend is foreign and we were worried he’d have to leave the country if he didn’t get a job (he did!! Woo!!). Since that comment I’ve decided to distance and see her like once a month

On these “monthly visitations” I’m calling them she has spent the entire time ranting about her boyfriend who was then just a man begging to get her back after he broke up w her and then hooked up with half the city. And barely asked about my life and my relationship just hours of my life to rant about a man and telling the toxic things he was doing just to go right to his place after

Now I just feel sooo anxious when interacting with her and if I’m not drunk or high or both I feel on edge bc I never know if the next thing out of her mouth is going to be a shady comment, something rude, or challenging me on something I never asked her about

I know I can’t avoid her forever but she lacks a lot of self reflection and I feel like if I tell her I want space because she gives me anxiety she’s just gonna invalidate me if I don’t provide like concrete reasons

Any help from my fellow sags and would be amazing

Everyone has been soo stuck up on the fact that West never was boyfriend and girlfriend w Ciara… I’m sure the list goes on. And this is why people are so adamant on being a girlfriend OFFICIALLY. this is why West is extremely calculating, he never gives the girls the title of bf/gf but will be exclusive or date into oblivion knowing that if he never gives a girlfriend title then everyone will downplay the relationship on a technicality!

The Amanda defenders are quick to say that him and Ciara were never really together but they still had a relationship!! A very emotional one where he pursed and played her on national tv.

I’m glad he got called out for being a toddler and I’m very excited to see 2 more parts of Amanda getting the heat she deserves. Make sure you keep away from musty men that love to date around but never give a title!!! It’s just heart break central

I’m actually so over Kelsey now. I started the season liking her but the constant digs towards Rosie and even the super inaccurate retelling of the fight is so insane to me.

Seeing how Liz is backing Kelsey to no matter what, if someone pulled up to her house and accused her husband of being a drug lord over a mega phone and said it was a joke I don’t think she’d be happy or find it funny????

The way Kelsey behaves and goes about this is def not the character of a nice person. She’s 30 and is miserable has no work experience, no property, nothing to really call her own. Even Billy is at arms reach so she can keep getting everything bank rolled.

People saying she’s right for getting on Rosie for “lying” but Kelsey has been lying the whole season about her relationship status ??? If you’re still team Kelsey can you explain why??? She really just seems miserable 😩😭

ADDING: this opinion is really brought on after watching the after show and seeing how Kelsey had absolutely no remorse and is 10 times down on her weird behavior. I think Rosie can actually be more accountable than her

Meeting my boyfriend’s parents for the first time! They’re visiting the USA from Greece (they’ve never been to USA before) I am not Greek but it’s customary in my culture to always bring something and never show up empty handed. My boyfriend keeps assuring me I don’t have to get them anything but I would feel so rude if didn’t. What’s customary in Greek culture? I was thinking some sweets or wine. Maybe a keep sake from the city we live in. any recombinations would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you

Update: thank you for the kind suggestions they will be getting sweets from my favorite bakeshop in the city!

Hi so I am (27,F) I am a social worker in NYC and I would like some advice on what I should do next. I currently make around $85k and live in Manhattan w one roommate. My loan payment through an income based repayment plan has risen to $500 a month. (I also have PSLF) After taxes I bring in a little less than $5k a month

Rent: $1700
Loans: $500

With rent, utilities, gym ($100), loans, and my metro my fixed expenses around around $3200. I’m also putting almost $175 a week away for emergency savings in a HYSA that I never had before and that is almost at $3k and I would like to get it to $6-10k

Im wondering would it be wise to invest some of the savings I have because I don’t have any investments. Or should I wait until I have my savings are where I want them and then invest after that. I would like to start a RothIRA. I have a 401k and my job matches generously. My parents unfortunately are no help as they are not financially savvy and are now scared they won’t be able to retire.

I’m contemplating getting a second job as well to help me with the rising costs. Open to any suggestions on where to begin. I just want to be at a place where I don’t have to stress as much about money
