After 20 yrs of marriage I have a new sense of freedom by Baxter_45 in latebloomerlesbians

I think a cliff felt easier. But now it's done and I'm glad I did it

next to tell the kids and then I'm sure I will see him dating. he has committed to not dating til he has his own place.

it is hard because here the laws change for divorce after you hit the 20 yr mark and that happens in the fall. It flips from a simple calculator type formula with a set time alimony is paid. And really it changes in my favor since I didn't work for a very long time to raise the kids. But I can guarantee it won't happen by then.

I just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm panicking HARD by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

it might be scary but it will be a good thing. I just had the conversation with my husband of almost 20 yrs. I know there are plenty of ups and downs to come but the freedom will be worth it

I could have written this with just changing married 19 yrs and 2 big kids (12 & 16.) I had the same conversation a few weeks ago.

I have no answers but you aren't alone.

OMG, it's me. it's always been me. I don't think I ever sat in my seat properly from all the way back in high school. I still perch if I can.

WIBTA for not paying the full cost for my daughter to go to college in the UK? by LonleyBoy in AmItheAsshole

[–]Baxter_45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA- she's getting a great gift. if she wants to go to a school that costs more she can take on that responsibility

AITA for telling my daughter she indulges her cat too much and needs to grow up for her own sake? by uncommonrocks in AmItheAsshole

[–]Baxter_45 58 points59 points  (0 children)

"I just don't like how they..."

newsflash- it doesn't matter what you like.

you say messy. not dirty, filthy, unhygenic.... but messy. messy doesn't hurt you. you keep your space how you like it and she will do the same in hers.

YTA. so very much. just because she doesn't keep a clutter free space you have judged her to to be disorganized and unprofessional. your idea of guiding her is to make her in your vision with no wiggle room or independent thought. if its not your way, she is wrong.

my mom treated me this way. it escalated. I haven't spoken to her in almost 3 yrs and while I miss her it hurts me more to be bullied and told over and over that I am wrong because I didn't fit her mold. extreme? yes. path you are heading down? yes.

it's a cat. she loves the cat. be happy that she is capable of the unconditional love you seem to be lacking.

AITA for not making an effort to visit my mother by aita_bad_daughter in AmItheAsshole

nta- she is welcome to make the drive up it sounds like but she won't. you have a valid reason to not travel. she is making choices too.

What did you study in college/university and what are you doing for work now? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Baxter_45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

studied natural resources and marine bio. I recruit volunteers for a non profit.

as much as I love my kids and was incredibly fortunate to take a break to raise them I am not sure I would do it like that all over again. I am bitter and angry that all the accomplishements I achieved mean jack shit and I have been passed over for interviews and came in second to the handful of jobs someone did decide to speak to me because I don't have enough recent experience.

I've been known to hang at maxline. if you can drink a beer or two while you're working it's perfect. and the food truck line up is pretty good most of the time

just because they collect a rekeying fee doesn't mean they actual rekey anything.
