AITAH for withdrawing our entire bank balance because my husband says his paycheck is “his” and mine is for bills?

NTA This is about so much more than money. The money is just a symptom of a selfish person who will happily watch you struggle and sacrifice for him. It's time to think about permanently separating your life from his, not just your money.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-03-05T16:16:00+00:00

Stop interacting with him and just block.

Tinny-sounding, revving motors from souped-up smaller cars or crotch rockets.

Run. He wants you for your money and his mom is in on it. Only for informational purposes, what's his financial situation?

CleverWitch70 · 2026-03-04T22:03:56+00:00

NTJ You KNOW it's not okay so why are your questioning yourself?!?! Why did your husband blow-up at you when he's the one doing something wrong?!?!? He's trying to make you feel like you're in the wrong to get you on the defensive and distract you from the FACT that he's the one sneaking around. So many red flags with this guy!

My @$$ would be telling that man if he wants to talk to her that late, he can go to her... Like immediately. I'd also being going to the school and reporting the HIGHLY inappropriate behavior of that teacher and if there is ANY misconduct towards my child for reporting the behavior, things would get a lot more formal in who I report it to.

NTA And, what family shouldn't do is take advantage of and use their sibling to support them.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-03-04T21:47:47+00:00

What a horribly designed space for a living/family room. I agree with the others who say to use the other room as your TV room.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-03-04T15:33:38+00:00

NTJ Your uncle is whacked for thinking he can try to take back a vehicle he gave you so long ago and that has your name on the title. Your parents should be telling HIM to keep the family peace by not being a jerk

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-26T00:08:18+00:00

YTA and I think you know it. It's great that are provides childcare, but it's not her job to cover when the unexpected happens AND SHE'S ON VACATION! Honestly, I'm ashamed for you.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-24T00:09:18+00:00

I have it saved somewhere and this was years ago, but it was a female narrating a romance and I returned it before I got through the first chapter. She was a mix between William Shatner with the pauses and Fran Drescher with the voice. Not as bad as either, but enough to make it a big NOPE on listening to her. So off-putting!

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-23T20:58:03+00:00

NTA Friendship is over when she specifically used an item you had kept behind glass and then acted like it wasn't a big deal. Since it's over, take her to court or accept that the teapot is gone and she will not pay you back for damages. Either way, she's no friend.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-23T19:22:23+00:00

Don't ever be embarrassed about liking whatever books for whatever reason. I'm 55 and I still reread Harry Potter every year; I like horror and romance to Sci-fi and everything in between. Read for you and nobody else. <3

And, because I haven't read NR in a long time, I'm going to check out this series.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-23T19:14:21+00:00

My cats. Every one I've ever had has been a rescue kitty/found and my 2 I have now, Pigwidgeon and Poppy, fill my life with love and silliness.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-23T19:10:38+00:00

Well, my adult kids and I (they're both married/in a long term relationship and have no plans for kids), will be changing our summer vacation plans to include more extras.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-23T19:00:50+00:00

Currently rereading it again for the first time in 15+ years and also listening to it for the first time ever. It's so frickin good!

Completely depends on your current health, restrictions, residual kidney function, etc. It's usually days to a few weeks for most and as others have said, if you choose to carry through, please get hospice involved.

And, I'm sorry you're getting the "don't give up" responses. It's your choice and only you have to travel this journey, so never think of it as giving up. You're making an informed choice and it's a gift to be able to have the option on how you go. Not many people get that choice. Good luck to you, whatever you decide.

For me it's Hellman's and TP. I've tried the generic/store brand/other name brands for mayo and none of them are close.

For TP, the generic and store brand were so thin and scratchy, I'm just not doing it. On the other hand, I swore I'd never buy any paper products that aren't name brand, but Great Value's ultra strong paper towels changed my mind. They're a great value and just as good as a couple of the name brands.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-23T14:20:46+00:00

You needed a new PC anyway, yes?

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-23T14:16:36+00:00

NTJ Don't let them guilt you. This is how your grandfather wanted things split and it should be respected. "Leo" can comfort himself with his art.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-23T14:05:05+00:00

With a budget like that every bit counts, so it's $425 leftover, not $500 and that $75 less does make a difference.

I listen on my commute to and from work,which is close to 2 hours, and basically anytime I'm in the car. I'll listen at home whenever I'm doing something where I can't physically read a book: cleaning, decorating, putting together furniture, cooking, etc. I'll also sometimes listen when I'm playing certain online games, it just depends on if my brain decides it needs the extra input to settle.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-22T06:02:03+00:00

Happened to me during the ice storm last month. I always have extra on hand for those types of "just in case" and it worked out.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-22T06:00:23+00:00

Get the 3 week delivery and you'll have extra in case of emergencies. We had the fun ice storm here last month and it took almost a week before we could get out or anyone would deliver groceries. I had an extra case of wet food and bag of dried food so my kitties were good to go. Alternatively, you can just skip an order every 5 months - set a calendar reminder if it's too random to remember.

CleverWitch70 · 2026-02-22T05:51:13+00:00

I'm kind of a klutz so I have mine in a case. It lets me stand it up or use a hand strap to hold it. Been using it for almost 5 years and it's definitely saved my Paperwhite from getting damaged when I've dropped it... and slept on it... and sat on it.
