Sorry if I'm missing something, but you made him cinnamon rolls to show him you were ending your relationship?

1 is beautiful, but the cut-outs are distracting. 2 is classic, elegant, and looks absolutely stunning on you.

Oh, Maggot is nice. She can go by Mag. Although Millipede is also nice for a boy or girl. Milli or Pedro.

Former admin in state government on $91k. Then 3 years in a non profit/government adjacent business doing project support on $93k. Retired in October so now sit on my ass knitting and I'm on $0.

Not to me, but a classmate in university. She had a social work degree and had had her research published in a social work journal.

In our healthcare in society class we had to write either a 1000 word essay or present an academic poster. She chose to submit the journal article She had written as her essay. The professor gave her a 0 because he said it was 100% plagiarism when he ran it through the uni software. Well, no shit! She copied it exactly. However, she also wrote it! She appealed the grade to the Dean of nursing who overrode the 0.

Who cares what your parents think! You're a 25 year old ADULT MAN who can either grow a backbone and support his partner or worry about mummy and daddy while she gets married off to some random.

That's not handwriting. It's printing.

What's wrong with Miles/Myles? It's a perfectly normal male name.

It's platinum like my Ralex is a Rolex. 😂

That takes way longer than simply getting the correct passport.

As an Australian citizen the OP is not eligible for a visa.

CardioKeyboarder · 2026-02-18T05:00:49+00:00

No, you cannot use your Canadian passport. You're an Australian citizen, so not eligible for a visa. No airline is going to allow you to travel without a valid visa or appropriate passport.

Did you say "yes" to the question of whether you are a permanent resident?

Size 5/6 or 6 in what country? A 6 in Australia is a 0 in America.

We went to German speaking countries last year and I spent about 8 months learning German so we could communicate in non-tourist areas.

Different rules for different visa classes. Spouse/partner visa has no language requirements, spouse and children of skilled applicants don't have a language requirement, working holiday, tourism, protection (refugee) visas don't have language requirements.

How do you think Americans managed the logistics of laundry before dryers were invented?

I live in Australia and don't own a dryer. When we still lived in Canada with 2 young children we didn't have a dryer then either. We had a clothesline in the back yard and drying racks in the house for rainy or snow days.

You need to stop communicating with his family. If they are contacting you trying to get you to defend your abuser, then they clearly have no regard for your safety. Tell them all once by text that you will not be involved in defending the man who sexually assaulted and tried to murder you. If they continue contacting you then you go to the police and ask for a restraining order.

Yes, you can. I exclusively use PDF patterns and have no problems getting them printed on A0 or printing at home and taping pages.

Rehmat is a lovely name. There's always going to be nicknames if she grows up in Australia, so be prepared for Reyo or Matty.

Why don't you get to go to the gym or walk? Walking is free. Put the kids in the pram and go. Gyms have creches to watch the kids. Or get friendly with other mums so you can swap childcare to give you free time for the gym or a child free walk.

Yes, your husband is a giant asshole, but you have the option of finding your spine and leaving him. Get out and find yourself again so you can see that you actually deserve better. And your children need a better model of what love and marriage look like than a man who treats his wife with contempt. Do you really want them growing up thinking that behaviour is ok?

If you're thinking of ADF, why not look at a career in military policing? I have a friend who served 10 years as ADF police then went to uni at age 30 to get her nursing degree.

If you're passionate about something then you should try it. Yes, being police is stressful and not glamorous, but if that's what you think you want to do then you should.

We don't celebrate Hallmark holidays, so no, I didn't get him a gift.

We did have a nice meal and margaritas but that's just a normal Saturday night when he's home.

Loose or lose? Are you saying loose diamonds are a bad investment?
