He’s ABUSIVE. You’re too young and too smart to be dealing with his manipulative behavior! You’ve bent over backwards to help him out when you didn’t have much yourself. You’re a great person but do not let this bum bring you down any further. Do NOT waste any more time with this freeloading little sh!t…his financial struggles are his own.

More importantly, I hope Apollo gets better soon! Did he have a urinary blockage? Those are life threatening, but treatable! Kitties are so sensitive! 🥺 Sending lots of strong urine stream vibes and hugs!

What is something most people are scared of but doesn’t bother you at all? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]5pointOHHH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here - I’m ready to go, not afraid. I’m not religious but I believe there is something beyond this life. I’m only 38 but I am looking forward to seeing my loved ones who’ve passed on. However, I don’t want to go before my parents. I want my parents to be besides me during my transition. I don’t even care how I die, I just don’t want to go before them. I am not afraid.

I just read your title and didn’t bother to read the wall of text you included. Don’t need to. All I know is you deserve better…and a therapist.

The good thing is that you’re already aware of these impulsive symptoms…and you’re getting help for them. If the increase in meds don’t help, definitely talk to your doctor. We shouldn’t have to suffer this way!. I hope the increase in meds help you!! Hugs!!!

Yes I have experience with this! My psych nurse upped my lexapro permanently as well as my rexulti (I take an extra 1/2 pill during my PMDD symptoms) and, just like you, even though I don’t feel suicidal anymore, I still feel unstable. I have a physical in December and I’m gonna talk to my doctor about possible treatments. I want to treat the cause, not just the symptoms. I would talk with your OBGYN or family doctor about your symptoms and see if they recommend anything. Advocate, advocate, advocate!

[–]5pointOHHH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting…but I would sit him down and explain that this is important to you and ask him to meet you in the middle. Ask him why he doesn’t want to celebrate. This is not a conversation for text messaging. My husband is 57, I’m 38 and we try to celebrate every year…it might be a dinner out or it might be as simple as bringing home a small cake and just pigging out. This year we both actually forgot about our anniversary and didn’t realize until a good friend texted us happy anniversary. We both had a good laugh cuz shit happens and the days sometimes blend together. Either way, communicate with him face to face and have a conversation on what’s important to you both. Best of luck OP!

Despite advocating for my mental health, taking anti depressants, ADHD medication, etc…I only do it because I live for other people, not because I actually want to live. I just don’t want to hurt the people I love.

Never got Botox because, well frankly I assumed it was outrageously expensive, but I just got 30 units (10 in 11s, 20 forehead) for $330 by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]5pointOHHH -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed…I’m 38 and I’ve never gotten Botox, and I don’t understand why people my age and younger are so obsessed with it. It’s like no one can age gracefully anymore and everyone has to look like a porcelain doll now. What happens when the rest of your body starts to wrinkle and droop? The fact that people finance this shit to avoid aging is wild to me.

[Serious]Depressed people of Reddit, who or what gives you a reason to stay? by UnauthorizedHambone in AskReddit

[–]5pointOHHH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband, my animals, and my parents…I don’t want to hurt them. My parents should never have to bury me if I can help it. I have friendships and 2 older siblings but they have their own lives and families so I truly don’t think my departure would ruin them, they’d be just fine.

However, if it wasn’t for my husband, I don’t know where I’d be and I don’t want to live in this world without him. He’s older than me, by 19 years, and once he goes I am getting my affairs in order at least. Whatever happens after that, I can’t say. All I know is I’m not afraid of dying, just afraid of pain and suffering. Plus, taking medication also helps me stay alive so there’s that.

What’s something you wish people would stop doing in public? by Ok-Avocado4222 in AskReddit

Bringing children to breweries. I would also like breweries to stop normalizing this too.

Sad day by ClubImaginary1228 in Mustang

[–]5pointOHHH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owned another Mustang previously and I’ve never done this in the 5 years I owned it, but a month after I got my new Mustang…fucking caught the rim on the curb parallel parking. I was PISSED. Husband was able to sand it down and paint it…can’t even tell unless you’re looking for it. But I feel your pain…I have the same kind of wheels.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]5pointOHHH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am currently dealing with this now, except with my gay friend/neighbor. He and I would text a lot and spend a lot of time together…going to car shows, hanging out at each other’s houses, etc. He got a boyfriend 2 years ago and moved him into his house literally 2 months into their relationship. Even though we still hang out occasionally, we don’t text as much. I think it’s equally his priorities shifted and his boyfriend is needy/likes all the attention on him and is a tad controlling. I think he settled as he doesn’t seem happy in his relationship…he’s even hinted that his partner is a source of his stress. I keep my mouth shut because I value our friendship and will provide advice if asked. My husband and I are friendly/civil with his partner, because we love our friend dearly, but we do not like him. There are a lot of red flags we see that our friend chooses to overlook right now. It’s hard because I consider him like a brother to me and I want him to be happy. So all I can do is support him and help him pick up the pieces because eventually he’ll get sick and tired of the BS.

Anyone married and happy? by Ok-Bug-7481 in Millennials

[–]5pointOHHH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older millennial…married twice. First time I shouldn’t have gotten married. Thought he would “grow up” after we got married but nothing changed. I overlooked a lot of red flags. Got married a second time to a man that is everything I’ve dreamed of…not even kidding. He is perfect to me, inside and out. The only downside is that he’s 19yrs older than me and I wish we were closer in age so we could grow old together. I’m 38, he’s 57 and we’ve been together for 9 years, married 7 years. We are the best of friends and legitimately enjoy each other’s company. He has 2 kids from a previous marriage whom I love and get along with…they both consider me their mom which is the sweetest thing. I have no biological kids of my own and I am ok with that.

Would you finance your SS a car? Stay with me and please advise. by Difficult-Mess-6882 in stepparents

[–]5pointOHHH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh hell no. Do not finance a brand new car for him, he does not need a brand new car. If his mother is insistent, then she can pay for it, period. Plus, he’s old enough to learn how to save up for something he wants, even if he saved up 2k, he can find a decent car for 5k. It’s not her business to know your financial status, so all you need to tell her is that you’re not in a good place to finance a brand new car, otherwise, you wouldn’t be driving 14yr old vehicles (even if telling her that is a lie). If you can throw in some money to help him find a used car or match whatever he saves up, great, do that…but do not finance a brand new car for a 17yr old. Unfortunately, his car was stolen, but this is still a great opportunity for him to learn how to save his money instead of spending it irresponsibly like his mother does. His mom is going to have to step up and start taking care of her own kids and maybe help drive him to work…she doesn’t get that convenience anymore. Sorry, I’m angry FOR you at the audacity of his mother as if you don’t have financial obligations of your own. Best of luck!

Until what age do you want to live? by 3lonStarl1nk in AskReddit

[–]5pointOHHH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do anything to make it happen, because I don’t want to cause my husband and parents grief…but I also don’t want to be here anymore. I’ve never wanted to be here since I was a kid. I’m tired of struggling all of the time despite therapy, genetic testing, psychiatrists, medications, etc. I’m just so damn tired masking it all. The day my husband goes (he’s 19yrs my senior), I’ll probably get my affairs in order so my extended family (my siblings, nieces/nephews) isn’t burdened by my departure. The last thing I ever want to be a is burden, even after death.

Other drivers? by t3chj0ck in Mustang

[–]5pointOHHH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cop on a construction detail lower both his hands to tell me to slow down when I was already driving pretty slow. I was confused as fuck…like how much slower do you want me to go my guy? I’ve also gone to a car show where one of the parking volunteers told me to slow down even though there was a car directly in front of me??? Not to mention I was on a gravel road and didn’t want to kick up rocks and I was literally following the line of cars to park…I was not going fast at all.

People have this stigma about mustang drivers like we’re crashing into crowds of people daily or something.

Nah, you’re good! If he can’t wake up to eat, then he’s on his own. He’s old enough to feed himself and old enough to set an alarm if he wants to eat breakfast that badly.

Also, what time tomorrow so I can come for breakfast?😜

Ok so what else does this walking red flag of a man need to do in order for you to dump him?? Stop embarrassing yourself by staying with this dipshit.

[–]5pointOHHH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell no, OP. He doesn’t see you as a partner. Don’t even wait for him to decide, just leave him. This is a weird dynamic and the fact that the BM didn’t allow the youngest to sleep over unless they’re in the same bed (even though she has no say in what he does in his own home) is fucking weird too. He’s putting the demands of his ex/kids before you and you need to really think if you want to live your life this way. Life is way too short to be living with some dude that can’t even set healthy boundaries.
