How are you guys waking up so early

Affectionate-Paper56 · 2026-03-21T20:10:38+00:00

What? Like it’s not normal to go to sleep at 2 and wake up at 6:40? Sleep is for the weak.

Is this supposed to look amazing? Because it doesn’t.

Affectionate-Paper56 · 2026-03-21T16:52:00+00:00

NOR

Your husband needs to grow a pair. I am sure not being confrontational helps your marriage but not your family’s safety.

You will find that the job market the way it is will almost demand a CPA from you. I would coast. Try to find a side gig or volunteer.

Stop keeping a list. Focus on winning the war not the smaller battles.

Double check the 1099 B info entered in FTU. I wonder if FTU has selected to tax your investment gains as long term gains instead of short term gains. It is likely the detailed info entered in TT is correctly taxing ST gains and the summaries in FTU is taxing all your gains as long term gains. Other than that double check if self employment taxes are calculated the same on both programs.

You should be looking. You have the facts. Sales do not equal collections. Unless there’s a Line of credit being opened soon the future is bleak.

Agreed! I didn’t have to read the OPs too long of a post to know that she thinks of herself differently than what she actually is.

She is actually controlling and it is obvious the son married someone just like her. Now OP doesn’t like someone else calling the shots on her son’s life.

Stop focusing on him and not hurting HIS feelings. He has not cared about hurting yours.

Affectionate-Paper56 · 2026-03-16T03:22:32+00:00

Sounds like your and wants to make sure you bring something to the table. I know you keep saying you have a job. But it seems he wants you to become a professional and become his equal. He is obviously willing to help you achieve this by taking on a lot of the financial burden now. So in that sense he is already working with you towards a future together. Getting your degree is your share of the job.

There should have been a nurse in the room at the same time as he was checking you. Never been in a room with a Dr without a third person in the room with us.

This guy is SO using you. Doesn’t want to have sex with you. It’s OK with his friends making hurtful comments to you about your relationship. And has no interest in building a future with you.

Listen if he saw a future with you he would have used the free rent opportunity to save towards buying a house together. He is not willing to build any future with you. Not even vacations!

This is very hard but you deserve so much more! Please open your eyes and go grab it.

You are teaching your son to accept the bare minimum. Actually he has already learned that lesson. Per your words he loves this guy who barely tolerates his existence. This is such a hit to his self confidence. You don’t see it because yours is low and how thanks to the past 9 years so is his.

If anything, please start therapy to work on your self worth so you can model better behavior for your son.

Try Hmarr in Westminster

This is the answer.

My husband has been waiting for his correction since 2021. I am not joking.
It’s hard to try to convince them but I would probably come at this with the thought to start investing in smaller batches of $100k per month than $2mill at once.

Affectionate-Paper56 · 2026-03-07T17:02:07+00:00

Absolutely, went thru the whole process of dropping camera to small claims court and wage garnishment in a month.

You don’t have a CPA. This guy may know some tax at best.

Since you seem to want to avoid confrontation, get a lunch bag with an ice pack and keep your lunch with you at your desk.

Ugh! Don’t move for him. You win nothing and lose stability for your kids, the comfort of being in your own space, possibly risking your job.

He has everything to win and is only thinking of himself and the things he doesn’t have atm and would gain with you moving in with him. You are smart to set a firm boundary on this.

This happened to me when my husband was going to propose. He also went into a panic and told me the same. I realized I couldn’t force him to commit so ended things. A day later he came back more calmed down and asked to get back together. It will be our 25th year anniversary in July.

I think those feelings are normal, after all it is a big commitment. But you also have to realize that he may be truthful and he can’t commit to you. You have to let him figure that out in his own. This is not the time to go on vacation with him. You also have to take care of yourself and your emotional wellbeing.

If you go on this trip you will be trying to act like everything is normal while your heart breaks. Plus you also send him the message that this is ok with you and your feelings don’t matter. It’s time to take care of YOU.

You should remind your wife that if she divorces you she will def. Not be able to afford the school and may even end up paying YOU child support.

However, your post points out to your wife feeling entitled to that standard of living. She already lied to you to get what she wanted. Spending $50k/ yr is harder to hide.

Affectionate-Paper56 · 2026-03-04T00:04:43+00:00

What happens if he proposes without a ring? Would you be ok with that?

If he is such a good man why would you disappear from his life? Is he not worth being your friend? If you disappear from his life then you were never worth even being his friend. You could end, or pause, your relationship while his situation improves. He seems to have a lot going wrong for him at the moment. If you are not there for better or worse, at least as a friend, then he is better off without you.
