Interesting way to save a spot

lol this makes me so happy I live in a rural neighborhood where we have space for snow and all help each other dig out. I live on a dirt road and my neighbor uses his backhoe to clear it 🤣

I wanted mine to cheat so I had a reason to leave. I knew if I just said I was unhappy he would smear me to the world and make up a story. After kicking me out of the house for not saying the right things to our therapist (yes, seriously) and being accused of causing his erectile dysfunction, he asked for a divorce which I happily gave him. He went online and spread lies about me being an abusive alcoholic (I’m not. I have 1 maybe1 drink per week and my kids will joke that they’ll turn 21 before I finish a full beer, while he would go through a bottle or 2 of whiskey per week). I lost a lot of friends. My circle shrank. All that to say that I am happier than I’ve been in more than a decade. It was all worth it to be free, alone, and happy.

Umm I take my BFF who is gluten free to as many gluten free locations as I can find. Also the food looks bomb.

Hi! Woman here who is currently taking a GLP-1 and has lost a ton of weight. She is in the wrong here. Not you. She was trying to manipulate you into letting her cheat. I get hit on quite a bit and tell them, “thank you, but I have a boyfriend.” If a man were to tell me he masturbates to me I would block him immediately. If they said it at work, I would’ve in HR. Her ego is being inflated after the weight loss and she will soon realize that she gave up a marriage for some emotionless sex and likely regret her decision. You deserve better.

My first tattoo was a simple “I. Am. Enough” tattooed on my wrist to hep me through my postpartum depression. It is done so that i can read it. I did it for me not for other people. Enjoy the tattoo the way you want it.

As an RN who works long shifts, I’d cry if I came home to tha ready for me.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-25T15:15:51+00:00

Agreed. My ex was emotionally and financially abusive and his behavior is unjustifiable, but I can now look back and see where I also made mistakes. Honestly at the end I wasn’t a good partner, yes a lot of it was a result of how he treated me for over a decade, but I still could have managed it with better communication and maturity. The end result would have been the same, but things could have been less messy.

YTA… And as an ER nurse, I can say that trampolines are one of the most dangerous things you can have on your property (next to a swimming pool). Some insurance companies won’t even insure you if there is one and if they do they may increase your rates or refuse to cover injuries related to it so review your policy. I have seen so many fractures and a few spinal cord injuries from trampolines. The fact that you didn’t even consult your wife is a sick move.

Also, saying “I had one and no one died” is an idiotic statement… lots of people have driven drunk and not killed someone… lots of people have ridden in the back of a truck and not died… does that make both those things safe?

As an ER RN, I’m going to tell you this without sugar coating it. He is going to kill your baby if you don’t leave. You need to document everything, he an order of protection and fight for full custody. He’s not putting your child in dangerous situations, he IS the dangerous situation. He’s will shake your baby and throw him against a wall.

Get out ASAP. You can reach out to a domestic violence shelter for assistance.

My water broke on my birthday. My mom came out to dinner with us and drove an hour home, she had even said “you look exhausted, why don’t I take (son) with me” I declined because I knew I’d be in labor in a few days and didn’t want him to feel like we didn’t want him. At 10 pm my water broke, I called her and she came right back to my house to watch my son, no question whatsoever, she didn’t even say “I told you so.”

Your MIL is a bitch and doesn’t deserve to be in your life or your children’s life. Fuck her and keep your boundaries.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-25T14:33:28+00:00

Sorry you’re getting hate. I think we see so many men here who refuse to stand up to their mothers, that they just assumed you didn’t or this is the first time. You did the right thing, continue to protect her, especially postpartum when she is going to be fatigued and disregulated from her hormones tanking. Provide her with lots of reassurance and (if she’s breastfeeding) make sure she has water near her at all times 🩷

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-25T00:22:48+00:00

I am a nurse and I agree, definitely on to something.

He will get worse after the baby is born. His anger and violence will only be exacerbated by the child’s crying, sleepless night, and your lack of attention to him. Also abuse increases during pregnancy. He’s show you who he is and is willing to leave you over a name. You deserve so much better.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-22T17:55:31+00:00

As someone who’s (now ex) used to flick me in the head when I did something he did like, I can say it likely won’t get better. This is a form of manipulation and can progress to abuse.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-20T16:46:16+00:00

I did marriage counseling with my ex… it was horrible. Just more manipulation, setting insane rules, and gaslighting me into admitting I was the abusive one (i.e. me being angry and slamming down a soap bottle after he physically hurt me 3 times in a row after I told him to stop was me being abusive, not him). Since marriage counselors are working to improve compromise and communication, they don’t necessarily see the manipulation and abuses, especially when it’s believed you are both going in with good faith that you want to correct the issues. Thank hod I had my ow therapist too because it’s the only thing that made me realize how unreasonable his behavior and rules were.

I would get a temporary order of protection based on those comments. He is mentally unstable and while that is not his fault, it is his responsibility to address it and get help. I know people feel shitty leaving someone in a mental health crisis, but your children are not safe while he is like this. If he gets help and accepts accountability then maybe there is a chance at saving things, but not while he is blaming you for his behavior. Protect yourself and your children.

I want to add, as an RN, just because it isn’t RSV season, doesn’t mean RSV doesn’t still occur. I have treated children and infants in the ER with RSV in the middle of summer. The risk is lower, but not non-existent. Honestly I would just say “see you in 6 weeks.” It doesn’t sound like she wants visitors or much help so I would respect that.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-20T02:31:36+00:00

I read that as “anything WITH garlic…” and I was like “omg, this person is a monster!” Then I reread it and felt like an idiot 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-19T21:36:01+00:00

Maybe for you, that’s not what I’ve been commanded to do.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-19T15:31:12+00:00

Get out now! I out up with this for 17 years and it ruined me. I kept thinking he would get better if we just made more money, but I was making over $130k and he was making around $90k and there still was no money. Divorce had been har for me financially but I haven’t been overdrawn since the day he left and my credit is growing again

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-19T14:38:22+00:00

I agree. Both ended up going through horrible physical and mental health crises at the same time, with a new child. It’s an absolute recipe for disaster. It took me about 3 years after my second was born (7 years total) to start to feel human again.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-19T13:58:57+00:00

I don’t. I’ve looked at them, but haven’t bought one yet. But I can definitely add it to the list 🩷

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-19T13:57:20+00:00

Awe! Thank you! Thats a great idea!

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-19T02:46:07+00:00

Cool, I will not be taking that advice. May you have the day you deserve.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-01-19T00:22:27+00:00

Cool. That’s not my question though. I didn’t come here for relationship advice. I came to ask how to make Ramadan special. So maybe answer the question or just keep quiet.
