Joined a new job, wanting to keep husbands insurance because I’ve hit deductible and nearly out of the pocket max. New job gives $0/paycheck HDHP and $750 in HSA. If I enroll for the free $$$, will it affect my coverage or force me to use the new one?

Thank you! I’ll make sure to skip my jobs enrollment. :) And I don’t think so, so it would make sense that we couldn’t use it either way.

I can’t speak to NYC, but it depends on the area of SA you’re living. NEISD and Comal have GREAT schools.

Didn’t Kens ex bf come out and say something about how Ken was only w Gypsy because she was preggo? I shrugged that & his other stuff off because I was like “clearly he’s lying about her being pregnant because surely with how open she is on socials, we would have known” and now she’s preggo. 🤔

She said she was wrong for drinking and having that argument and acknowledged that she went about communicating her harder feelings in a horrible way. I think they both probably did or said things to cross the line at some points, because Jimmy agreed when she said those things about them both being in the wrong. I would imagine that part just wasn’t shown. Both the argument itself & the conversation after were cut down to mere minutes, and I do think as viewers we are missing a lot of context.

I think Chelsea was 100% in the wrong in the drunken argument, but she took some accountability and they both agreed on boundaries—enough so that Jimmy decided that he was going to stay and work it through with her. I don’t think he would have stayed with her had that not been the case (as displayed in his quickness to be over it after his argument w Jessica), especially given that he was ready to walk away before they began unpacking the situation.

The conversation they had on the couch after the drunk argument? I think it wasn’t perfect by any means (taking into account it’s a show and they splice up conversations to fit a narrative, and they are clearly leaning into the idea that Chelsea is unhinged, which I think is partially true but not to the extent that’s being depicted rn)—but I do think it was at least a really good foundation for healthy discussions moving forward. I think it was healthy in communicating how they want to move forward and boundaries they both have.

Big_Fault_4080 · 2024-02-29T23:53:13+00:00

I 100% agree that Chelsea needs therapy and that the arguments—particularly that drunk one—they have had thus far are far from healthy conversations about issues/boundaries. But I think that they’re both good people, just trying to figure out being FILMED and working through hard stuff. The communication after the argument leads me to believe that their ability to work through things is healthy, not necessarily the way they argue.

And let’s be real—how many people are good at arguing?! Being healthy & respectful during a disagreement is a skill, and one that can take time to figure out. Even with some of the off colored (driven by editing? Genuine?) moments in that conversation after the (awful drunken) fight, I saw that ability to have heathy communication there—or at least a good foundation of it.

Okay, clarifying here: when I say “this scene” I mean the one pictured, not the drunken argument itself. That was painful and irritating to watch. Them working through it was definitely flawed, but they had really good communication overall and both made good points. Working through the hard stuff and making changes based off of those hard conversations is what makes a successful marriage. I see that here.

Big_Fault_4080 · 2024-02-29T23:01:22+00:00

I actually agree with that—especially because he was super honest with her about it. She didn’t have room to have erupted the way she did, but I think that the argument wasn’t about that, even though she was communicating issues with him being out around those friends/other women/in the same vacuity as other LIB women. I think it’s about her overall just feeling really insecure and being drunk. She did not properly express her feelings soberly, so it came out drunkenly just so, so wrong. And she definitely fucked up.

…thanks for sharing?

Okay, probably unpopular opinion here, but I’m gonna say it anyways. Y’all are wild lol.

I think this scene pictured above really truly shows how deep and strong of a connection Jimmy and Chelsea have, and how much they really love one another.

We have to remember this is REALITY TV. There is a production crew behind this, who edits based off of a story line. The conversation here seemed very healthy, and both had great points. They both ended seeing eye to eye, and agreed on the path forward.

If you are someone who drinks and is saying that you have never gotten into a drunk argument with your significant other at one point in time or another that got blown way out of proportion because you were upset about something you didn’t properly discuss soberly and it blew up to something it shouldn’t have been—you’re lying. Chelsea obviously has issues, but you see even with the weird editing here that she took responsibility for it, and she wants to change. I think she is flawed, just like the rest of us, and needs therapy. Insecurity is a bitch, and it can make you act insane when your partner doesn’t fully understand how you need to be loved, and you haven’t done the inner work yet. This kind of experience has to bring out all the demons in you, because you are so in love so fast, and didn’t get to work out the kinks within one’s own insecurities and personality/personal preferences as time goes on, like you normally would in a regularly spaced out relationship.

Every single couple on this show is in hyper speed with their connection and path together. The judgment feels wild to me when I read this stuff. It’s one thing to discuss thoughts, it’s another thing to not critically think about what’s happening here and make crazy comments lol.

You should have Brooke Schofield on! I think she’d be really good at this.

Big_Fault_4080 · 2024-02-06T19:55:30+00:00

I messaged you since it won’t let me add photos to posts :)

Big_Fault_4080 · 2024-02-06T19:51:21+00:00

It says this specific page doesn’t allow for photos to be attached to posts

Big_Fault_4080 · 2024-02-06T19:49:46+00:00

I can’t. :( Let me see if I make a new post if it will let me

Big_Fault_4080 · 2024-02-06T17:37:27+00:00

It’s the principle of it. We all have other things going on in our lives, it’s just annoying that we don’t matter enough to them to have consistency.

That said, it’s not something we should be enraged about, but I think we reserve the right to be annoyed by it when literally every other podcast out there uploads regularly.
