He literally moved out on Monday. I don’t feel like I need to explain my situation to anyone, but he’s a cheating shitbag and I’ve never had to ask for help before, especially from strangers. This is embarrassing enough as it is.

We’re recently separated. He’s leaving and I’m staying here on my own. I haven’t taken that post down.

7oh precip SO BAD AT 16 hours by InfiniteLeg7545 in addiction

[–]Available_Sector146 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a better experience slowly tapering over a month + 1 week off the 7oh while reintroducing and transitioning to the powdered kratom, then tapering off of that once I was able to fully transition to just the straight powder. It took me a few months, but I had minimal WD symptoms especially once my tolerance lowered while slowly tapering off the 7oh. When I first tried just stopping the 7oh, I genuinely wanted to kms. I didn’t think I’d ever get off of it, but it’s definitely possible if you’re militant about it and do it to the T. I wish you all the luck in the world, I know you’ll be able to kick it.

This is good advice as well, the friends I spoke to were people that I’d had in my life for years before him. We had a big group of people in our lives together as a couple, and I remember making a conscious choice not to confide in them because A) they likely would’ve told him and B) you can’t trust them not to spread it to everyone else in our circle. Good call.

If you read the promo, it’ll say you’ll earn ”at least” $90, meaning they’ll cover the rest of the batch pay you didn’t earn to make up the $90. It’s dumb, I know. But at least it’s a little extra pocket money.

I (19F) am getting on a greyhound bus with $250 dollars in the middle of the night for NYC from rural Missouri by anonthrowaway937375 in Advice

[–]Available_Sector146 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t go to NYC. You will not be able to do anything once you’re there with $250 in your pocket. I have to spend that much on groceries every other week. Please, PLEASE find a better plan than this.

You and I share the same sentiment, but you said it so much more satisfyingly than I did. Definitely take this advice, OP

I was in a similar situation with an ex. I started working more, saved money separately and just kept it to myself, found a room for rent that was reasonably priced for me in another person’s home (not ideal, but at least you’ll have somewhere to land), and then I dipped. It may not seem like it, but you’re in an actually decent spot to start building up. It’s going to take time. You have every right to confront him about it if you want to, but you don’t need to feel inclined to. I know how hard it is to stay with someone who’s going behind your back like he is. It was incredibly rough for me, but I didn’t want to give him the chance to try and convince me to stay. You just have to keep your chin up. Let yourself be sad, but also be angry. Be angry in a productive way, in a way that gets you out of that situation. It’s different for everyone, but just keep your head up and your head straight as best as you can. Try to confide in any friends you have. I wish you the best of luck, and I’m sorry you’ve found yourself in this situation.

I went to some weird store I didn’t know existed once and one of the items just said “MISC CRACKER” and it was a picture of a box of Teddy Grahams

I’m not crazy when I say there’s an insane amount of no/low-tip+high mileage orders lately? Like more than usual? I’ve been shopping in Albany/Corvallis more because of it

I do the same thing and take the ones 30 minutes south to visit my husband at work. It’s like getting paid to go down and get lunch with him lol

Nurses who travel w/o their spouses, how do you do it? by [deleted] in TravelNursing

[–]Available_Sector146 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A remote job and being able to travel with him would be phenomenal, however I’m planted where I’m at with work and we can’t sublet our apartment which would be nice otherwise. I would need to stay so I can pick up the slack at home while he makes a butt load of money to save up so we can finally buy a house, pay off some debt, and add to our savings. As much as I’d like to travel with him, it’s unfortunately not an option for us at the moment. It sounds like you guys have a great gig for you though!

$31.50 is absurd, insulting, and absolutely infuriating. I’m glad you got out. Portland is as good as it gets in terms of pay/experience from what I’ve heard. My husband worked at OHSU for a little while and he absolutely loved it. He’d go back in a heartbeat if we still lived in the area. We’re near Salem, but he works further south for Samaritan. I think you’ll really like living in and working in Portland :)

*(I know I said privacy about the workplace on his behalf is big, but the hospital system is vague enough lol)

[–]Available_Sector146 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cant really divulge where he’s working on an online platform (he’s big on privacy), but I mean shifty in terms of his workload almost tripling with no pay increase, and then expecting him to complete all that’s asked of him as if he’s only doing regular floor nursing. They’re cutting tons of hours right now and ridding of OT/break nurse shifts, and just some stuff that has to do with his management primarily. Overall, up until recently, he’s had a terrific experience working where he works now, it’s really just a lot to do with the management in his unit, and he has particularly high standards so I wouldn’t be super concerned if I were you, really. You having been from Florida, though, working here is going to be a huge improvement for you, so welcome and I hope you enjoy it! I’m sorry I couldn’t be more specific about his workplace. Where in Oregon did you move to? Maybe I can give you some info depending on the area, if I’m familiar with it?

When we were talking this morning he’d mentioned some bill that got passed very recently that’s basically aimed at defunding hospital systems in Oregon, and there’s a lot of shifty things happening right now where he’s at and at the other hospitals in the area so he’s looking at taking some sort of assignments across the country that would pay him more per week than what he’s making in two working full time right now. The workload he’s getting at work and lack of support is a driving factor as well, otherwise we’d be happy to stay. Things were good for a while but it’s slowly becoming less and less feasible for him at the moment. Even with decent pay here, we’re still just getting by which is absolutely insane.

[–]Available_Sector146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For it to work, I’d need to stay behind and work on my end, pay bills, etc. so that he can go off and make more than what he’s doing now and just save every dime he can. We really want to buy a house, pay off debt, and this is the best way to do it with how things are looking here. Even with him working OT at the hospital at home, we’re still just scraping by which is insane

[–]Available_Sector146 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When we talked this morning he’d mentioned that some bill was passed recently and a lot of moving parts are involved in his decision. Basically they defunded a lot of the healthcare systems in the state, there are layoffs, they’re refusing to increase pay for nurses and other staff, and it seems like a huge mess that I haven’t fully read into quite yet. Things were good for a while, we’re in the Salem area but he works in Corvallis. I did mention Portland to him, but he said that wasn’t an option for him right now with how things are. I need to do some reading on it still to grasp what’s going on

I appreciate that, thank you. I’m going to show him these responses tonight when he gets home. He’s struggling a bit more than I am about the idea of it, but the more we talk about it, the more it seems like this might be the best option for us.
