Romance / Re: Have You Ever Had An Encounter With A Bed-wetting Partner? Share Ur Experience by Simolicatalano: 8:23pm On Jul 13, 2022
jawalis:

It’s sad indeed. She stayed for about 5days. But the other three days were not so cool. She’s always having that kind of complex feeling of intimidation. She will sit and never say anything for hours. She’s over careful and I can’t even ask if my friend knew about it. I was left in the middle. I didn’t talked about it to my friend till date anyways. I pretended nothings happened. We still view each other’s status on WhatsApp but she’s no more with my friend
It is well
One of my ex-roommates had this condition.
...and I endured it for quite sometime. At the height of it, I went to squat with some of my other friends despite co-owning the room.

If I had known I wouldn't have paired with him, but again, it's not his fault and he didn't choose to be born this way.

I felt it was an open secret cos everyone noticed the change in smell of my room, but no one could really point out what was going on.
Funny enough, dude got drunk during one of his nights out and bedwetted again, but this time I was not around, and his friends from other rooms in the hostel were cruel enough to record him.
I saw the videos days later and they all jeered at how his wanton abuse of alcohol made him bed-wet when I was not at home.
I just smiled. I never told them it was a daily occurrence for me. I just told them I had also warned him about drinking heavily in the past.
I was like "see Wetin alcohol don do am now! "
Till date he doesn't know the video exists and I'm afraid his so called friends could use it against him in the future.

Had few encounter truthfully and it was not palatable, I couldn’t sense the feeling disappointment and guilt in her.
While I was in 200L, a friend called that his girlfriend would be staying with me for few days till she’s able to get accommodation for herself and I agreed to it. When she arrived, she insisted she’ll sleep on the tiles the first night and I don’t want to force her to the bed so I allowed her, before I got up in the morning; she’d mopped the floor and clean everywhere but I thought it was normal ladies cleaning and stuffs. Then the next night it was a bit cold so I insisted she’s not staying on the floor because of the weather. With so much persuasion, she agreed to it and we slept after random gists and all. I got up about 5am and I met her siting on the bed, I asked why she’s up at that time, she said nothing that she’s attending to customers on her WhatsApp, but I noticed she’d taken out the blanket we used outside, I ignored and slept only to move my hand backward and the place was damn cold, I felt bad maybe my room started leaking from the roof or what? I got up and started apologizing immediately for the leakage but I noticed the asbestos was not wet so I became more confused, What’s happening, she started pleading; erm erm pls am sorry I took garri after you slept last night so I couldn’t wake up and I was tired blah blah. I got her point and I said it’s fine. We placed the bed right the window to dry it off in the day. The next night she insisted she sleeps on the floor but I didn’t agreed to it, I asked her bluntly, are you afraid you might wet the bed again? She started crying and said Yes. I told her no problem, just sleep on the bed with the blanket and she did the same. I couldn’t help her condition but I felt bad because she’s such a pretty girl
Really sad!
How was the atmosphere during her stay.
Were you able to keep in touch even after she moved out ?

Bro
You don't have to be wealthy to certain things
Circumstances can make you do some stuff

A contract engineer could be in a new location for a project and may not necessarily want to take an apartment
I have been with people who lived longer in a hotel
It's not about being wealthy

Back to that story

The guy elapsed the 2 - weeks and pleaded with me to extend it but I refused and he went behind me to meet the manager of the hotel that I will pay for him extending his stay

How did it end?

Alot is wrong. If you have been lucky, Out of the say 10 people I housed, 9 were a bad idea. I have been backstabbed, torn, tongue lashed, accused falsely and had my dad almost killed cos I made the mistake of opening my doors to allow people live with me which made me come to the conclusion: I don't want to know how kind, Godly, hardworking and willing to contribute, how perfect you think you are, Deceit lays in the heart of man and the world is evil.
My home is my Peace...I'm done toiling with it.
God bless you for this response.

During covid, a "distant" friend I came across pleaded with me that he needs a place to put up for 2 - weeks and quite honestly my house was so big big enough to accommodate 5 persons but I love my peace of mind

So I told my friend, 2 - weeks you said right?
He said yes
And he said he will take care of feeding and all his essentials and I said that's fine

I took him to a hotel and paid 2 - weeks for him and he moved into the � hotel


It's a long story (I hate typing)
What happened??

Plus a German visa is a Schengen visa, you could travel freely in and out of countries within the EU. You could even easily search for a job in one of the neighboring countries should you not prefer Germany when you're done. So it's good advice.

Thank you

I am assuming fully sponsored does not mean a scholarship in Germany.

Go do your PhD in Germany! PhD here in the US is 5 to 6+ years with course work and you need to pass a qualifying exam after 2+ years to continue the PhD. It is 3 - 4 years in Germany and you are well paid than the US (comparing cost of living). No course work in Germany, just research. You will be on a work visa in Germany and not a student visa (if you're not on scholarship). In Germany, you have an opportunity of having and training bachelors/masters students who will also support your PhD research work. In the US, you do everything yourself, and it is very very hectic with a lot of pressure to publish or you don't graduate. You don't need to publish in Germany to get your PhD if you end up having negative results. It's good to have some publications if you plan to stay in academia though.

Heidelberg is one of the best unis for medical research in Germany. Immunologist and oncologist are in high demand in Germany. You have a better chance of finding a good job as an oncologist PhD in Germany with ease. English is the work language in most research Institutes in Germany. Heidelberg is a small student town though, so you will move to another city after your PhD for another job offer.
The German PhD is a 'global passport' on its own, you can move globally with ease after.

Stay away from Kentucky. I was in Cincinnati, Ohio for a few months, just 5 mins away from Kentucky. It is very boring and flat there in the mid-west. Not a popular destination for migrants. Kind of behind compared to most states in the US. Most people there are natives (born and raised, friendly but not that welcoming to outsiders. Even fellow Americans). You will have a better life in Germany while doing your PhD than the US.

Your PhD would be highly valued in Germany. And you will become a citizen faster. After the PhD, you can do a postdoc in Academia or switch to industry. Postdoc is well paid as well, compared to the US. Getting a postdoc is easy in both countries though. Working in academia (PhD or postdoc) in Germany is way relaxed than in the US, with better quality of life.

The US is good to pursue a career in biotech after the PhD, but the issue here is the immigration laws and it is very complicated. In Germany, even if you don't have a PR you don't need to go through all that visa hassle. You just continue working after your PhD.

The only con about Germany is just the language barrier and finding an apartment is quite difficult depending on the city. That's not much of an issue.

To sum up, I advise you go get your PhD in Germany which is faster, followed by a PR or citizenship. With that, you can move else where if you want (I highly doubt this).

Let me know if you have further questions.



Thanks so much.
Really appreciate your contribution.
Bless u

Congratulations to you my good friend.

I just finished my PhD last year. I am applying for a postdoc position in Germany. Please do well to keep us posted in your progress so far. I studied Chemistry upto a PhD. Research interest computational chemistry, bioinformatics and Analytical Biochemistry geared towards sickle erythrocyte polymerization inhibition/reversal.

Please, are you going on scholarship? If yes, how did you go about the application based on procedures/requirements



Once again congratulations.

Thanks.
Yes, I got a scholarship for both positions.
I applied for the DKFZ cancer program. They only run PhD offers though.

dkfz.de/phd-program/site/index.php?a=T2hpeW1jaWtjdnZkK0lXczVQMGlhVXR2N2s0QWlmVTZXMjl4ZWR0Q0hOQlZTV3BsWUMrUFRIVHgzZVRxYVpodVBDbmszc09UcmNrZ0VieGVBdVZPVFR3cDVON0RrNjNKSUJHOFhnTGxUazNXKzN3bTc3RjFwMGhhV21Wekdid3o%3D
Hopefully, the link will help u out.

At the USA, I applied to the University of Kentucky. You may want to find out if they offer post-doc positions through Google.
Wish u the best!

I think I can give you a better perspective as I am currently an exchange PhD student in the US from a German research Institute. Do you mean you had two different offers or a PhD offer you are required to work in both countries like mine?

First, what's your research field in? STEM? Then Germany is better as a PhD student than the US. Both countries has its pros and cons though. My advice would be to do your PhD in Germany first. You can always migrate to any country with ease with a German PhD.

My reasons for Germany if you are a STEM PhD student:

1. As a STEM PhD student in Germany, you are either employed under the TV-L 13 (Engineering or computer science PhD students earn more) or offered a stipend. If employed, you will live very well with the salary compared to the stipends you will get in the US. The quality of life is much better in Germany than US for a PhD student and in general from my own perspective. Most of my fellow exchange students all returned back to Germany and did not like it here in the US. The work life balance in Germany is much better.

2. Getting a PR and citizenship is way way easier in Germany than the US. As a PhD student under a work contract, your 3 or 4 yrs counts towards getting a PR. You need 5 years to get that if you do not have a German degree and 2 years if you already graduated from a German university. In the US, the immigration law is quite complex. But you can apply for a green card after a PhD if you have a strong profile (well cited publications). Not guaranteed. Your immigration status in any country plays a big role in your quality of life.

3. Getting a job after the PhD may be easier in Germany if you have a STEM degree especially in IT or engineering. In the US you need an employer to sponsor your work visa after the PhD if you want to work for a company. Or you may continue with a postdoc in Academia with an academic H1B. Doing a Postdoc here is crazy and tedious compared to Germany. The postdoc salary to living expense in the US is peanut compared to what you earn in Germany.

4. Salaries (After PhD) in the US are double that of Germany. But, it is very expensive here. It is a capitalist country and all that glitters is not gold.

5. English would be your work language as a PhD student n Germany but you need to learn German to integrate better.

6. If you are married or plan to start a family soon, then Germany is way better. It is a good country to raise kids than the US.

7. If you have a good job in Germany after the PhD. It is way better living in Germany than the US.


You need to provide more info. So I can advise you better.



Wow.
Thanks so much for the advice.
Really appreciate.
I'm an oncologist - I investigate the development of cancer in the medical sector.
I was offered a full sponsored PhD position in Kentucky, USA.
I was also offered a fully sponsored PhD position at the Heidelberg University Germany.

I have been in a dilemma on which one to choose because I'm to resume at both universities in August.
Both universities also need to know my decision on the academic position that has been offered to me.

I'm open to hearing more from you.
Thank you.

Honestly, I have never for once thought that I would be blessed with a double PhD offer from the USA and Germany, especially at this point where the Nigerian economy is in shambles.
Although I have a passion for my studies, the ultimate goal is to relocate and settle down abroad.
I found conflicting reports online about the ease of getting a residencial permit after a PhD in the US. From what I have gathered so far, it seems it would be much easier in Germany.

Nonetheless, I'm not about to bank on the info I found online alone.

Please, I would appreciate your contribution to this enquiry.
I'd also really appreciate it if well-versed abroad based academicians can chip in their advice.
Thank you.
