Did I make the right decision by ending my relationship because I wasn't getting the attention and emotional support I needed?

Hi everyone,

I recently ended my relationship with my girlfriend and I'm struggling with whether I made the right decision.

The main reason was that I felt she wasn't giving enough attention or emotional effort to the relationship. Whenever I tried to talk about problems or express how I was feeling, it often felt like she took things very lightly. I didn't feel heard or understood.

Over time, this started affecting my mental health. I was constantly overthinking, feeling anxious, and losing my happiness. Instead of feeling loved and supported, I was always waiting for her to understand how much her behavior was hurting me.

I know no relationship is perfect, and I also know I have my own flaws. That's why I'm confused. Did I expect too much, or is it reasonable to leave a relationship when your emotional needs are consistently ignored?

Right now, I feel guilty, sad, and also a little relieved at the same time. I still care about her, but I don't want to stay in a relationship that keeps affecting my mental peace.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did breaking up help you in the long run? I'd really appreciate honest advice or guidance on how to move forward and whether I made the right choice.

Thank you for reading.

Aeronautical Engineer trying to enter the UAV industry – Should I get a Drone Pilot Certificate to improve my chances?

Hi everyone,

I have completed my Aeronautical Engineering degree and want to start my career in the UAV/Drone industry.

The challenge I am facing is that I am not getting enough opportunities from startups or companies to gain relevant experience. Because of that, I am looking for ways to improve my skills and make my profile more attractive to employers.

I am considering enrolling in a Drone Pilot Training program and obtaining a Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC). My thinking is that it will help me understand drones better, gain hands-on flying experience, learn industry practices, and legally operate drones.

However, I am unsure if this is the right investment for someone whose goal is to build a long-term career in UAV systems and engineering rather than only becoming a drone pilot.

I would appreciate advice from professionals in the UAV industry:

  • Is obtaining an RPC a good way to increase my chances of entering the UAV industry?
  • Will companies value the certification for engineering-related roles, or is it mainly useful for operations and pilot positions?
  • If I am not getting opportunities right now, would you recommend getting the pilot certification or focusing on other skills first?
  • Which skills would provide the highest return for an Aeronautical Engineer interested in UAVs: PX4, ArduPilot, Flight Testing, Embedded Systems, ROS, CAD, CFD, etc.?
  • If you were in my position, what would be your roadmap to enter the UAV industry?

I am trying to make the best use of my time while searching for opportunities and would like to invest in skills that genuinely improve my employability and technical understanding of UAV systems.

Any advice and reasoning behind your recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I don't know what to do anymore. My relationship is destroying my mental health.

I really don't know what to do anymore. My girlfriend has been stressing me out a lot lately. I was very attached to her and used to share everything with her because she was the only person I felt comfortable talking to.

But now she rarely picks up my calls, disappears in the middle of conversations, and when I try to tell her how I feel, she either blames me for everything or just says "haan haan" without any actual change. She never acknowledges her mistakes, and it feels like my feelings don't matter.

The hardest part is that apart from her, I don't really have anyone else to talk to. My mental health was already not in a good place, and all of this has made it even worse. I feel exhausted, confused, and lonely.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What did you do? How do you cope when the person you rely on emotionally becomes the reason for your stress? I genuinely need some advice because I don't know who else to turn to.
