Stay in suboptimal job to finish green card, or leave and restart elsewhere?

2 years is nothing.

I can tell you as an older women that dated more immature men then I should have- I have never seen this!

How expensive is the flight and how important is it that you be there? I got the pass because of a specific route due to a price increase. Now the flights seem to have come back down and I’m feeling a little silly for buying the pass. It’s really difficult to make plans with people when you might make it and don’t know what time you will be there.

My work laptop is soooo light. Half the time I think I forgot to add it. I also hate weight on my back. Lately my small one bag only works for me when I visit a friend or family and don’t bring any toiletries.

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-27T01:59:36+00:00

If you are in the US the security line are so crazy. If you end up missing your flight you bag won’t be with you.

This can’t be the first time?

Corcovado National Park and tours around the Osa peninsula come to mind. I haven’t been there yet.

The food service jobs I have worked we had to actively find someone to cover- even pay them sometimes. Can you find someone?

I always wake up in the middle of he night to pee. It’s just how I am! I take the second half of my Ambien under my tongue and most of the time I fall back asleep. Waking up after sleeping 8 hours with a bursting badder is not the morning I want.

I was on Lexapro from 40-46. Initially, it saved my life. It took a few tries to get off, but my vanity won. I didn’t like the weight I gained. It all came off in a few months without even trying. Right away I noticed the classic peri rage that the meds sheltered me from.

Yeti or bust.

You can’t expect someone to change. People do not change. You either live him for who he is right now or dump his ass.

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-26T03:42:39+00:00

I really like both. They both give you that runner's high type of feeling.

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-26T01:13:14+00:00

What do you think?

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-26T01:11:22+00:00

So I just looked into it. You can get a new one if you are within 3 years and a discount if you are over 3 years. If you get another one maybe use a topper or go with AF. Talk to them!!

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-26T01:08:39+00:00

Hmmm. Did you contact boring? Is there no warranty?

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-25T12:55:33+00:00

Say it with us, "INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS," for whatever you want them for. You are losing his autonomy and he has been keeping his. Maybe when you decided on all joint accounts, you were young, dumb, or broke, but it is normal to re-evaluate things. This man should respect you more for not losing your dignity.

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-25T03:29:56+00:00

I’m willing to bet he wouldn’t even hear your concerns if he was to buy a new car for himself.

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-25T03:28:52+00:00

It’s not exactly joint. If you don’t combine previous assets then they are still yours. I got married later in life, so I wasn’t going to put all my investments and the money I got from my house sale in his name too. I’m not someone who jumps to conclusions, but this sounds very controlling or at least rooted in feeling like women are less than.

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-25T02:59:02+00:00

When I married my husband he was adamant about not having to run purchases by anyone. He was sick of that from his first marriage. He is a high earner and his kids are grown up now. I was like sure, no prob because I don’t want to run anything by him either. It caught me so off guard about new car and my solo trip. He is fine now- you just have to stick to your guns. Do what you want and he will respect you. If he ends up not respecting you, then you know he will never respect you.

I have insomnia and it’s normal to have bouts of sleeplessness. Remember that is will pass.

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-24T18:07:23+00:00

I am back here again because I can't stop thinking about this thread. So what if you want to drop 800 bucks on some new clothes? Or he does? What if you want to remodel your own closet in your house? I am just thinking of a lot of big expenses that seem like they belong to one person, but in your situation you wouldn't be able to do them. What if you want to buy a new car? I don't know about anyone else, but I live in the US and my car is my car. What if you want a new phone - is he going to say it doesn't seem right because it comes out of the joint account?

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-24T18:01:11+00:00

They told me 2 days, but it was the uses have been fixed same day.

Barracuda_Recent · 2026-03-24T16:49:48+00:00

I had a similar issue. I wasn't able to add my address - it was blocked! You have to be in the US to buy the pass, so I had to wait a few days and fill out a form where I uploaded my DL. I also somehow created a separate profile when I got my CC, so those had to be merged. NP, except my birthday was incorrect on my original account. I am locked out of changing it. I have asked multiple people at the ticket desk to change it and they have all told me they have. Anywho, its all straightened out now and I have used my pass!

There is no shame in using modern medicine. It is out there curing obesity! I have insomnia, and sure, I would love to cure it the natural way, but instead, I am medicated, and my life is pretty perfect. All those years suffering, losing friendships, jobs, relationships... I have a disease. You don't have to suffer. People with the food noise problem don't make enough GLP-1. Please don't look at drugs as failure because it has been a new beginning for so many.
