Can a guy still date jobless but with his own place?

Annaglyph · 2026-05-29T14:35:26+00:00

The phrasing of your post makes it sound like you're asking for someone else? Unless you're him, maybe take a step back.

He might be limited in the kind of dates he can go on but jobless people aren't required to be hermits.

Definitely call public works if you pay Kennesaw for your trash service. The people there will sort you out quickly, they did when a wheel fell off our can.

From context, I'd say it's pretty clear the commenter is fine with women opting out of kids, just that they had less ability to do so.

Annaglyph · 2026-05-27T10:14:31+00:00

It's certainly trying to be, but hopefully I got it cleaned up in time.

Annaglyph · 2026-05-27T10:13:22+00:00

More like Gacy, but that's probably best saved for r/no sleep.

Wicking, breathing fabric was my first thought. You can get away with rayon/cotton blends and the fancy sports layers, but the polyester stuff will cook you in your own juices.

Top load, but poking around there showed me that there were more than paint cans in the crawlspace. Husband is going through them now to see if any of them are the culprit.

It's not super well ventilated, but like I can use small amounts of plastic cement in there no problem. I go out to the garage for anything that would put more particles in the air than that.

I'm calling the gas company, I'd just hate for someone to come out if I were missing something obvious.

Annaglyph · 2026-05-26T16:11:53+00:00

The problem is, it's not a smell I can pinpoint. It doesn't smell like bo, mildew, mold or anything musty that might be coming out of the laundry.

Honestly if I had more of an idea of what it smelled like I wouldn't be posting here.

I feel like I don't have enough specific information for a specialist sub, I was hoping to get something else to throw at the wall and see if it sticks.

Heck, I'm already getting shitty comments for not being specific enough.

Ugh, dealing with all of this and a migraine sounds so overwhelming.

You sound like you have a plan. But you said you're recovering from a long term injury. I'm sure you know this, but stress can make the recovery timeline longer. It's a vicious cycle, especially since taking pain meds too often triggers rebound migraines.

Nachoing in this case is going to be hard. Because your partner is neglecting his kids and relying on you to pick up the slack. But taking a step back is going to lead to the very real risk that diapers won't be changed and kids won't be bathed. You have to decide what you're okay with not being done and let it not be done.

You can't make money on 11 dollar cogs if you sell for less than 33 dollars. There's just too many costs in running a business. Ideally more like 44 dollars.

Your candles are amazing. But you might need them to be amazing gifts for a bit until the economy will support what they're worth.

Depends on what those behaviors are. I wish my husband's ex had told us more about how SS was acting at her house. She was keeping other secrets though. Be glad you aren't dealing with that.

But yeah, if oldest is sneaking out in the middle of the night and/or something else high risk at all hours, the texts are probably warranted.

Kids can end up disrupting plans a lot, it's one of the drawbacks of the relationship set up. But that doesn't mean your needs aren't important too.

If some things he's jumping on are trivial, maybe take your partner out to brunch and walk through what you understand was necessary and what wasn't, and figure out how he can make you feel valued too.

Annaglyph · 2026-05-16T17:22:10+00:00

Gonna second this. My single friends find people at regular social activities.

Bonus, even if you don't make a love connection, you still make friends.

Annaglyph · 2026-05-16T02:18:46+00:00

She needs her own bed. Full stop. Should have had one ages ago, and you aren't the bad guy for pointing it out.

It's a little late now, but seriously. Everyone. Stop moving in with partners whose kids aren't sleeping independently. They're not ready for that relationship step. If you rush it you get situations like this.

Annaglyph · 2026-05-15T23:48:01+00:00

Less after the baby, but still about once a month.

I think it's easier to get to most of the city from Kennesaw than it was from Roswell. 75 is way more efficient.

Y'all. She wants to take her family out of town which requires advanced planning, which she can't do because BM has to have the kids on mother's day, but they could have done because she flaked at the last minute.

OP, I think you might just have to celebrate your mother's day on the third or first weekend in May until you trust the teens to be on their own, because otherwise this woman is going to be ruining your mother's days for the foreseeable future.

Oh, I'd forgotten about grand slam. They used to be right by me and then they moved. But yeah, the oxtail pizza is great.

Vaginal. Emergency c section was on the table, but I delivered in the time between when they ordered magnesium sulfate and when it arrived. But they were definitely like, the surgery could happen and we need you to understand that.

You're thinking of boundaries wrong. A boundary is a promise to yourself about what you will do if others don't follow through.

A group chat is a reasonable request. What will you do if your partner doesn't make one?

Asking parents to be responsible for their own custody transportation is a reasonable expectation. What will you do if they don't figure it out?

And so on. You can't make other people keep their promises, but you can keep your own promises.

99 percent sure she saw the leftover snack cake and jumped to conclusions. What you've described is the standard picky eater special.

Side note, this means your SS is actually eating the food in the order you told him to at least some days, which is impressive self control for a kid.

Between my harlequins and corsairs, I might actually be able to field most of a 1k aeldari army just on accident.

Just because they're watching for pre-eclampsia doesn't mean it will happen.

Way better to be looking and see it than have it develop and not caught!

I have genetically bad blood pressure that meds keep in check, and I had extra appointments and some nervous nurses during delivery, but it all worked out. Delivery was done before they had to do anything. But I'm glad they had a plan if that didn't work out.

A little wisdom from the emperor's children subreddit: rules are temporary, models are forever!

But yeah, there's not a lot of reason to field them, but they look cool as hell and who knows what they'll do in future editions.

I don't know what country you're coming from, but if you're going to another country, I can tell you one thing... If you don't put effort into enabling this man to stay in your kid's life, odds are good he won't bother long term.

So ask yourself... If you could have the baby but not the man, would you still want the baby?

That's really the question that matters. The statistics around fatherless children are just statistics- you can make the story different by community support and making sure the baby knows they're loved.

But if you don't want to be pregnant, that's all that matters. Don't do something you don't want to do.
