May 2, 2011 8:35 pm at 8:35 pm #764146always hereParticipant
I agree with Sac’s advice as well.
hope you’re feeling ok, Goq!! hope you had some Kosher for Pesach sugar-free chocolate 🙂
May 2, 2011 8:46 pm at 8:46 pm #764147MDGParticipantYou could try to ask your brother why she seems “shy” around you?
You can use another word instead of “shy”, and don’t use a negative word.
May 2, 2011 8:49 pm at 8:49 pm #764148yogiboobooMemberadorable-your little situation scares me a bit…
May 2, 2011 9:06 pm at 9:06 pm #764149aries2756ParticipantGoq, I would suggest that you DON”T send anything in writing that she can show others. It is better said in person or over the phone. And it is better not elaborated on until you give her an opportunity to tell you what is bothering her. So just asking her what’s wrong, or if you owe her an apology just to get the conversation started might give her an opportunity to start talking.
May 2, 2011 9:10 pm at 9:10 pm #764150adorableParticipantThe more I thought about this the more I think you should just leave it go. I dont know your niece but if you think she is mature enough not to show it to everyone she knows then go ahead and write it but if not then just forget the whole thing and move on.
Yogi- why are you concerned?
May 2, 2011 9:30 pm at 9:30 pm #764151TheGoqParticipantlol ty always couldnt find sugar free so just got the lowest sugar i could find
May 2, 2011 11:44 pm at 11:44 pm #764152yogiboobooMemberadorable- the way you said your uncle makes you feel uncomfortable made me grow a concern
May 3, 2011 2:49 am at 2:49 am #764153amichaiParticipantyogi, just let it go. she isnt gonna share any more than she already did.
May 3, 2011 6:13 am at 6:13 am #764155Shticky GuyParticipantWhen we are together they huddle together and exclude me altogether
What a sad situation. We all really feel for you. Whatever the reasons, and remember we dont know all the details, you are hurting and understandably so. Its not even as if you are spaced out any longer…:-)
But seriously, if your siblings do treat you as the baby and huddle together without you then is it any wonder that your niece has picked up on this and avoids you also? She’s only copying them. They could be the problem here. You’re lucky your other nieces and nephews dont act likewise.
Let me ask a very important question. Do live near or far from this niece? Meaning does she see you often or rarely? Does she see the huddle against you often or rarely? Do her parents talk about you in her presence? Is there anyone that could act as a go between to speak to her briefly, cos if you send the letter it could make her embarrassed and much more distant, but she does need to know of your discomfort with her behaviour.
Wishing you only a happy life and may you find your Bashert soon which I’m sure will help both of you!
May 3, 2011 7:05 pm at 7:05 pm #764156adorableParticipantWishing you only a happy life and may you find your Bashert soon which I’m sure will help both of you!
I agree! May you find your bashert soon…. I think you should try and just give your niece her space she might feel like you smother her for some reason.
thank you amichai for sticking up for me!
May 3, 2011 7:33 pm at 7:33 pm #764157TheGoqParticipantI in no way shape or form smother her, i dont live very close see her maybe 7-10 times a year
May 3, 2011 7:35 pm at 7:35 pm #764158TheGoqParticipantso my getting married will solve everything? well thats a shame cause its not gonna happen anytime soon.
May 3, 2011 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm #764159HAKOL TOVMembergoq,
i am really sorry to hear this…
hope the situation gets better fast!!
May 3, 2011 8:21 pm at 8:21 pm #764160adorableParticipantdid you write the article in the Mishpacha? you remind me about someone who wrote a letter about his single status
May 3, 2011 8:53 pm at 8:53 pm #764161TheGoqParticipantnope i dont read mishpacha
May 3, 2011 9:09 pm at 9:09 pm #764162shlishiMemberadorable, much hatzlocha getting your uncle off your case and breaking up with the manager in that store that you got friendly with.
May 3, 2011 9:09 pm at 9:09 pm #764163adorableParticipantok well
May 3, 2011 10:20 pm at 10:20 pm #764164TheGoqParticipantty hakol
May 3, 2011 11:10 pm at 11:10 pm #764165☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe Goq,
Is there anyone who knows your family who you could ask advice from, such as a rov or rosh yeshiva? I feel that it’s not for we in the CR to advise in such a case, since the proper course of action depends very much on knowing you, your niece, your brother, and, very possibly, your sister-in-law and other family members.
It would seem safer to remain quiet about it, and certainly not to put anything into writing, unless someone wise, who is familiar with the situation, advises you to.
Good luck, and just keep in mind that your “virtual friends” are feeling for you.
May 3, 2011 11:35 pm at 11:35 pm #764166TheGoqParticipantthat seems to be the consensus for now daas i will let this pass and ty for the kind words
May 4, 2011 6:29 pm at 6:29 pm #764167adorableParticipantshlishi- I just read your post. thank you for that…I could use any luck that I can get! my uncle is not a constant issue- he just makes me nuts when I see him- he awakens all my senses….and makes me throw up when i get home and think about it! And the manager- yes I could use help with that on a DAILY basis!
May 4, 2011 7:20 pm at 7:20 pm #764168Pac-ManMemberadorable: What does your Aunt think of your Uncle awakening those senses? And what goes on with the manager?
May 4, 2011 7:50 pm at 7:50 pm #764169adorableParticipantPac-Man- the manager is too long to write about over here but i think my aunt is plain old dumb and thinks its cute. when she married him we were very close but then i got bigger and things change…. He used to go around telling his friends that I was his first wife until this other lady came around
May 4, 2011 8:04 pm at 8:04 pm #764170TheGoqParticipantadorable i can see how a comment like that can make you uneasy it is kinda creepy
May 4, 2011 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm #764171adorableParticipantyes i told you he is…shall i say not your typical? but in essence he is more than just different
May 4, 2011 8:09 pm at 8:09 pm #764172Pac-ManMemberadorable: I’d like to read it even if it is quite long. What’s the story with the manager?
May 4, 2011 8:10 pm at 8:10 pm #764173adorableParticipantare you the manager?
May 4, 2011 8:12 pm at 8:12 pm #764174Pac-ManMemberNo.
May 4, 2011 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #764175adorableParticipantwe wont go there for now…. check every other thread and maybe you will find it one day
May 4, 2011 8:32 pm at 8:32 pm #764176Pac-ManMemberAre you referring to where you posted that you and the store manager became very close friends?
May 4, 2011 8:35 pm at 8:35 pm #764177adorableParticipantwhat thread are you talking about? why are you and why would i want to tell you? you are scaring me
May 4, 2011 8:36 pm at 8:36 pm #764178always hereParticipantintrusive much?! :/
May 4, 2011 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm #764179Pac-ManMemberSorry, forget it. I just saw a post from you saying you and some store manager became close to each other and you regretted it even though you are still close to him.
May 4, 2011 8:43 pm at 8:43 pm #764180adorableParticipanti dont want to forget it until you tell me which post you are referring to. are you new here btw?
May 4, 2011 8:51 pm at 8:51 pm #764181Pac-ManMemberSorry adorable. I hope this link works, I think it goes to the post I was talking about:

May 4, 2011 9:00 pm at 9:00 pm #764182adorableParticipantyou are not so dumb after all i guess. that is partial but good shot
May 4, 2011 9:05 pm at 9:05 pm #764183Pac-ManMemberGee, thanks for vouching for my “not being so dumb after all” 🙂 But I don’t know what you mean by partial.
May 5, 2011 2:46 pm at 2:46 pm #764184adorableParticipantcan i ask you why you care so much?
May 5, 2011 3:20 pm at 3:20 pm #764185Pac-ManMemberOkay, I admit it, I am the manager who became your bf. Wouldn’t you be interested if you suddenly read an online discussion about you??
May 5, 2011 3:31 pm at 3:31 pm #764186TheGoqParticipantpac-man let it go, it obviously makes her uncomfortable you need to move past this.
May 5, 2011 3:39 pm at 3:39 pm #764187Pac-ManMemberI tried to 🙁 I said sorry forget it, but she insisted to continue saying “i dont want to forget” 🙁
May 5, 2011 4:00 pm at 4:00 pm #764188adorableParticipantwho are you? for real are you the manager? if you are so pls tell me why you ignored me…. email me please then i will believe you (maybe)
May 5, 2011 4:05 pm at 4:05 pm #764189Pac-ManMemberomg, you exchanged emails with him too?
May 5, 2011 4:09 pm at 4:09 pm #764190adorableParticipantif you were him you would know what i want you to do. lol there goes your scan
May 5, 2011 4:12 pm at 4:12 pm #764191TheGoqParticipantMods i think something inappropriate is going on here perhaps you should put a stop to it, pac-mans actions have crossed a line and his account should be banned imho.
May 5, 2011 4:19 pm at 4:19 pm #764192adorableParticipantthank you i will not post on this thread anymore Bli Neder
May 5, 2011 4:32 pm at 4:32 pm #764193amichaiParticipantpac-man – shame on you. why does it have to get to this?
