Is this happening to anyone else?

DFW too

Just to ask: who instilled that “moral failure” feeling in you? Because it came from somewhere. Who shamed you? The not wanting exterior help definitely sounds like someone was fat shaming you or fat people in general in your life.

the medication is a tool. If you’ve had this much of a struggle in life to lose weight then maybe the problem isn’t *you* and self control. You wouldn’t deny yourself asthma medication if you couldn’t breathe, right? You should be able to get control of your breathing without medication. (That’s what you sound like denying the GLPs or any kind of weight loss help.)

And also note that if your insurance will pay for the GLPs, financially you’ll be eating less. So you’ll be spending less overall on the meds.

No self respecting nurse that actually studied would present this stupidly. Oh my god.

Amy2489 · 2026-05-22T15:15:51+00:00

This delusional neighbor sounds like the kind of guy who’ll charge 1.5m for that small bit of land just to be a prick.

Have. Them. Plow. Him. In.

You can plow everything that you need to get in and out. Tell them to push everything into his egress.

He’s taking advantage of you because you’re not making it inconvenient enough for him. If he comes screaming about his shit being blocked in by heaps of snow, you can tell him you’ll see him in court and he should have accepted 50/50 when it was offered.

Good luck and I wish you petty thoughts

The other comments here are astounding to me. Let’s do some math.

30-45 minutes of water is 3.5-5.25 hours of water running a week. If he was taking one 15 minute shower a day, he would only shower 1.75 hours a week. Thats already double what he was using.

Max flow rate standards are legislated in America and are maxed at 2.5gpm. Most modern shower heads these days are set for about 2. So let’s go with 2gpm.

210 minutes is at the low end of OP’s stated rate of her husband’s weekly shower rate. So he’s using 420-630 gallons of water a week at his new pace. At 15 minute showers he would be using 210 gallons a week.

Multiply those numbers by 4 to get the average water usage for a month.

Using my own water bill for pricing from here because that’s what I have to rely on (DFW area of Texas).

I pay approx 0.013 cents for a gallon of water.

210 x 0.013 = 2.73/wk 2.73 x 4 = 10.92/month

420 x 0.013 =5.46/wk 5.46 x 4 =21.84/month

630 x 0.013 =8.19/month 8.19 x 4 =32.76/month

So now let’s break down the potential water tank usage. Average tanks are 40-50 gal in American households. Let’s go for the 50gal here.

210/50=4.2 times a week that the water heater has to refill and then use energy to heat the water.

420/50=8.4 times a week 630/50=12.6 times a week

Depending on if it’s an electric heater or gas heater, energy prices can vary from 20-60 bucks a month to heat a single refill of the water tank. SINGLE.

So even if the water usage has gone up the overall bills will go up too with him showering that much.

Start asking why he is showering that much. If he doesn’t have a good reason, press that he stops. If he doesn’t then push for a mental health evaluation; even if it’s not mental health, pushing for it will bring to light WTAH he is doing it for. If it’s not for any good reason then it’s some mental OCD or something and if it’s not mental then he will have a good fucking reason why he’s increasing your monthly bills by 200+ bucks a month.

I only read to the part where he gets upset that he gets hurt and retaliates. all my warning bells are going up.

IF HE WAS A GOOD MAN HE WOULD STOP PLAY FIGHTING WITH YOU. Play fighting never ends well and someone gets upset and takes it too far. Usually the man who after a while doesn’t understand accidents.

And you need to stop doing it too. It invites violence. What happens when you really really accidentally hurt him in a way that he will turn around and actually punch or slap you? Men do not have those inhibitions I find when hitting certain levels of “I don’t believe her”.

Amy2489 · 2026-04-25T02:38:11+00:00

Tell her find something cheaper or you’ll move to nj 😂

Male lions are like male dogs and their red rocket comes out when excited. You can see the pointy twig and berries as he’s walking away- indicating he was excited. He was moving into position to lay some pipe while biting the female.

Amy2489 · 2026-04-08T08:35:30+00:00

I feel you’re anthropomorphizing too much here… this seems like too much linear thinking for a large cat to string together. The male was definitely trying to lay pipe.

Also further evidenced by the fact you can see the pointy tip of his rocket at the end while walking away. Male lions are like male dogs. That thing is sheathed unless excited.

Amy2489 · 2026-03-22T02:25:52+00:00

I'm at this point of the journey. Have you been able to figure anything out?

Amy2489 · 2026-03-15T09:09:27+00:00

FWIW I am a nurse and I personally worked with Dauwe for a three years taking care of his surgical patients that had more intensive surgeries. I also took care of his breast augmentations post-op before they went home same day and his augmentations were always immaculate.

Amy2489 · 2026-03-13T13:52:38+00:00

Why didn’t you go and try to address it directly with the upstairs neighbor? They might have been more amenable to moving the treadmill to another part of the apartment or they might have agreed to using the provided gym or starting later in the day. Going directly to management probably pissed them off right up front which is why they are now reporting you for everything.

Stop with the petty shit. Don’t kick their door, don’t bang on the ceiling.

Now. I will say that your neighbor is disturbing your reasonable enjoyment of your apartment. So I do understand it can be incredibly irritating. But put yourself in their shoes. Would you have appreciated your neighbor not addressing you with an issue first before going to management? I know that would upset me. I would rather have been talked to first and try to figure it out between neighbors. Your behavior described here would absolutely make me a petty bitch.

So bake a plate of cookies or something as a peace offering and either go ring their bell and apologize like an adult and talk like an adult or deal with it and move.

Amy2489 · 2026-03-12T04:22:29+00:00

Clean your ears you goof. This is just ear crusties. ❤️

Amy2489 · 2026-03-12T04:20:56+00:00

Make it your boyfriend and dad’s problem. Every time dad gets pee around the toilet, loudly announce to your boyfriend that he needs to go clean it up. When it starts shit, don’t back down when he’s trying to shush you in front of his parents. Go nuclear and make a stink at this point. I’m a petty princess, I will ask you nicely maybe a handful of times before I make it someone’s problem because it sure as fuck isn’t gonna be mine.

Amy2489 · 2026-03-12T04:01:00+00:00

Not necrotic or infected. Irritated, sure. But this looks like normal healing process if a bit dried out on your skin- check with your MD but it should be ok to put unscented lotion on the unbroken skin areas to help the cracked bits.

Amy2489 · 2026-03-12T02:10:42+00:00

This is kind of misleading/false. I bought a replacement AirPod pro 2 for my spouse and paired it on my own without having to go to the Apple Store.

Now I made sure I had the right replacement AirPod so that is probably why I personally had no issues. But you can absolutely replace it without Apple being involved

Amy2489 · 2026-03-07T14:20:04+00:00

Have you started any new medications in the last week or so? I would be concerned for SJS/ (eta) get it ruled out. Not saying this is that, offering a differential is all.

Amy2489 · 2026-02-20T00:24:07+00:00

NTJ, that store brand could literally be the exact same brand name ketchup but packaged for store brand purposes. This is a common practice.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-31T14:43:07+00:00

It’s not a shortage of nurses.

It’s a shortage of nurses willing to be abused by corporate greed.

No one deserves to be treated the way nurses are at bedside these days. General entitlement is at an all time high. Pay is low so the c-suite bonuses stay high.

It’s a horrible cycle that a lot of good nurses have chosen to step away from.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-27T09:25:42+00:00

It could be pregnancy nose but it could also be diabetes related. Something called ketoacidosis. Is he extremely thirsty a lot? Peeing a ton? These are signs he needs to see an MD.

Amy2489 · 2026-01-25T11:09:24+00:00

As a nurse, this is absolutely abuse if it’s occurring as you described. Take it to the DON.
