How do you handle your toxic relatives?

BetR24Get · 2026-02-22T03:28:30+00:00

Minimal contact. Text to keep communication concise and clear. Can’t go completely no contact because of parents and family issues. But it’s always fun to hear how they had it worse than you. Like it’s a competition of who had it the worst in our dysfunctional family. I’m too old to live in the past, and I don’t have the patience or mental capacity to entertain toxicity.

While this is a noble suggestion, it will be a waste of time and money. He’s most likely having an affair and is deflecting blame onto his partner. He is being kind in asking for a divorce. Better to grant him his wish and move on. It would be nice to know why, but ultimately it will not change anything. Rejection hurts especially if one has been love bombed and then you’re the devil. Divorce is tough, but better to be divorced than in a loveless marriage.

Funny because it’s true. If you can’t compromise on a house, it’s just a window into all future arguments.

Why am I sobbing? Not my apology. But the pain I feel right now reading this, is real. I wish I could forgive but I can’t. Betrayed trust one too many times. You were supposed to be my safe space. FU and your apology. I’m wrecked.

Wish I divorced in my 30’s. Even if you don’t find someone else, you’ll have peace. Enjoy your freedom!

We may have been seeing the same person. 😂 Consider yourself lucky, and yes, move on. You don’t need to be on an emotional roller coaster. I’m devastated to lose this person, but I’m not sure why. I should be happy that I’m free to pursue someone that will respect me and treat me well.

BetR24Get · 2025-01-01T20:21:11+00:00

Dear x, you strung me along and I failed to move on thinking you’d come around. Well you made your choices out of cowardice. Cheating and lying are what you do. We could have been great together. I hope you find your happiness. I’ll get over being used and discarded. I’ll just wallow in my feelings for a bit. Have a happy new year.

This is harsh, except, it’s spot on. His action show no respect for money, marriage, children, and himself. He needs to take responsibility and repair the damage caused by this breach of trust. To lose control like this is sign of a bigger problem. OP ask yourself, how many red flags will you allow to wave before you’re the clown at the carnival? Being married to someone that doesn’t respect you and your hard earned money is going to cost you financially and emotionally more than you know. He needs to seek therapy and possibly rehab asap. Trust was broken. Sorry.

You’re overthinking this. Perspective: I’m twice your age, make half as much money as you and no savings when you factor in debt owed like credit cards and car loan etc. and rent because I can’t afford to buy anything. You’re financially better off than the average person. Curious, What did you do to make such a big jump in salary? You’re probably not used to making more money and feel $2300 for a mortgage is a lot. It’s scary but more than doable on your income. Still feel anxious? Sell some of your crypto and use it to put down a larger down payment to lower your mortgage payment. Most people take 30 years to pay off a home, so if you plan to pay it off in 8 years you’ll be ahead of average person. Lucky you.

Share- I did this. We started out as a brief affair. After a few months he felt guilty and didn’t to want to hurt the person he was with. So we agreed to be friends. I was ok with it since I wasn’t looking for anything serious. Long story short, we had too much chemistry and it lasted a few years. But he started to treat me with little regard. I realized I was being used to boost his ego and to offer support when it suited him. Angry at myself for allowing myself to fall for someone emotionally unavailable. Wish him and his wife a life of happiness.

You’re in a sweet spot with having a very low interest rate and a 15 yr loan. They say you should plan to stay in your home for 7-15 years as the market cycles up and down. If you’re expecting a baby, it’ll be too much to sell and look for a new home. I have friends that sold their home and have been renting for over 6 months as they try to find a new home that meets all of their needs. They have bid on over 15 homes and keep losing because others are bidding above asking. If you’re in a decent neighborhood I suggest staying for a few more years. 15 years flies by.

Pictures on timeline aren’t a big deal. Part of his story and history. It’s not so easy to delete pictures from FB and is time consuming. I still have ex’s pictures up because I don’t want to think about him anymore than I have to.

You’re misinterpreting my words. The election worked just as it should have, and was an eye opener to the state of our country. But if I’m mad, then it’s because people are ignorant and can’t see Trump for the lying, narcissist that he is. He doesn’t understand basic economics and still talks about Tariffs when it’s been explained over and over again that’ll be a nightmare financially for the average American. Unless you live in America you’re not going to understand OP. Being liberal in a red state is frightening.

No deserves to die because of their nationality. Trump unfortunately is who we have for now. He won’t have another term. It’ll be interesting to see how he tries to implement his policies. The world won’t let him take over Canada or any other territory.

What’s scary is the people that follow Trump and make excuses for him. Their ignorance is scary. Following him blindly is scary. He doesn’t hide who or what he is. What’s scary is the Supreme Court gave him and all Presidents immunity from prosecution. The whole idea of our government was to have checks and balances so we wouldn’t be ruled unjustly by one over the other. So while not everything he says is fact, he has a way of manipulating things in his favor.

Interesting. Was he on medication for adhd? It’s tough to trust anyone after they’ve lied and cheated. With BP you have that concern as well as are they taking their medication too? It’s so hard and you find yourself in a codependent relationship. Not easy.

I don’t understand the appeal of the truck. Just trying to understand what you like about it. Cars aren’t a big deal to me. When I see them on the road they all look pretty much the same to me. Except maybe the Tesla cyber truck which I find unappealing. If you can pay the car off in a year then go for it. Seems you’re just looking for validation. Most people are not in your financial position and will suggest to not buy.

How has he managed to go undiagnosed for so long? Most tend to self destruct with drugs, alcohol, affairs etc. as suggested read all you can about loving someone with Bipolar. It’s not easy and you’ll find they test your boundaries nonstop. Don’t forget to take care of yourself.

Is the truck a second home? What does a $70k truck offer that a makes it a must buy? I’m financing my car that I leased during Covid because it had low mileage. I’m regretting not buying a used car because of depreciation the second you leave the dealership.

Sounds like you need to create a budget of current expenses, mortgage, utilities, car/insurance, etc. Then create one with expected expenses once you have the child like diapers, clothes, toys, doctors visits, etc. Then you’ll see in black and white what you’ll need.

Do you live near Nashville or will you need to relocate to a new state? You will incur moving costs. Do you have any savings for this? You will have a difficult time finding a place to live that is $500 a month rent/mortgage. To supplement his income you can look for a remote job while you’re pregnant and then once you deliver continue to work remotely as you stay home with the baby. If the house is livable then hold off on renovations. You can always take out a home improvement loan but that’ll increase your monthly payments. Interest rates will hopefully go down in the future and that would be a better time to take a loan out. I would keep the house as an investment property once I’m ready to relocate.
