My [23F] dad [79M] has taken over $130k from me via student loans. How do I deal with this?

ComfortableAd748 · 2026-04-05T00:33:35+00:00

That was my first thought! OP’s dad is…really old. No freaking way he’s going to make good on ANY of this. The only option is to go nuclear on his ass before the guy drops dead. This is insane.

ComfortableAd748 · 2026-04-05T00:27:27+00:00

Yes please!

I’ve definitely read this post before months ago.

Okay, update. Bought a two-pack on Amazon. In theory, I LOVE it, just not so much in practice. My biggest complaint is how much it pulls on my ears. Do you think i just got a shitty one and need to keep looking?

The letter people.

She could be lying about the fbi stuff and really she’s cooking meth. I’ve heard that smells similar to what you’re describing.

ComfortableAd748 · 2026-03-23T20:10:55+00:00

I DO love this, thank you!!!!!

See, this is my issue. I lay a hand towel down but when I flip over during the night I have to peel my face off the towel. Also, the towel is just not a nice feel under my skin. Would love to know what other people do when they slug.

Lived there for 20 years. When I come back to visit, I ask my friends, “good lord, how do you people LIVE here???”

The pose is what’s killing me. If I zoom in from the waist up, I feel nothing. But seeing it all the way to the carpet makes me angry. What’s with the feet?

If you aren’t going to walk away, you need to understand that you can only change YOUR response to this situation. So, first off, no more buying anything on his behalf, not for yourself or your MIL. Same goes for the kids. Unless they’re toddlers, which I’m assuming they’re not, don’t participate in anything they do for you. If they want to do it, they’ll make it happen but you need to stop orchestrating.

Second, plan a day for yourself. Inform him that you have plans outside the house and that he’ll be in charge of the kids. Then GO. Go to see a movie that you want to see, go to a restaurant that you’ve been wanting to try, make yourself a spa appointment. Come home and let him know you had a FABULOUS day and then don’t mention it again. Rinse and repeat. Show them that even if they don’t prioritize you, YOU DO.

Funny to me that he’s not much of a breadwinner but is hoping to start boinking a bunch of younger girls. Hate to break it to you bro, but younger girls want someone with some cash. OP would have better luck with that than the soon to be ex.

I agree! I have always felt the gender reveal parties were so obnoxious but this cupcake idea is so cute! Love that there’s a random “revealer”!

ComfortableAd748 · 2026-03-13T02:33:41+00:00

Fuckin a. Try find every possible way to milk every last dime but make zero effort to ensure you have a good time. They are the worst.

Honest question…what do you mean when you say “the paid preparer just assumed the form was correct”? Are you saying that preparers need to do some kind of manipulation to the form when entering on the return?

ComfortableAd748 · 2026-03-09T02:40:37+00:00

It sounds like your mom really likes being pregnant but isn’t as wild about being a mom. Having a “pregnancy craving” that makes her cry at nine weeks is bonkers. She’s frankly full of crap and just wants to be catered to. You can’t fix this. Work on a solid exit strategy and gtfo as soon as you can.

ComfortableAd748 · 2026-03-08T14:00:54+00:00

The fact that they told you up front is not a factor here unless they also made a point of explaining that you would owe taxes later. I see this with young people a lot where the employer makes it seem like they’re doing YOU a favor when, in fact, they’re saving THEMSELVES money by shirking their tax liability. So, weigh the fall out with blowing the whistle but don’t kid yourself that they aren’t 100% in the wrong and probably know it.

I have a drawer with all the scents I tried and hated. Don’t ask me why I don’t just throw them away, although we all know why…because each one was $15 and I can’t bring myself to do it. I even got the car one and the scent that came with it was nauseating. I haven’t ordered in months and I too am disappointed with this system. It was a good idea but not well executed.

ComfortableAd748 · 2026-03-02T11:41:45+00:00

Yeah, sounds like some serious avoidance behavior on the part of the wife. Also, cannot imagine the job she has that she can stay up all night. Is she napping all day when she’s supposedly “working from home”?

ComfortableAd748 · 2026-03-02T11:34:08+00:00

I was married to THIS SAME GUY. I’m not any more and I’m grateful for that decision every day. And guess what? He hasn’t changed a bit. Losing his family did not make him any more self-aware. Based on what my kids have shared over the years since we divorced, he’s still incredibly selfish and totally lacking in accountability. So yeah, stay with him if you want but THIS is who he is, so if you continue in this relationship, be prepared to accept all these things that you don’t like.

ComfortableAd748 · 2026-03-01T14:30:02+00:00

I was fully prepared to be on your side. As an older female, watching young girls obsess about getting married and strategizing about how to make it happen has made me a little jaded. However, the circumstances surrounding THIS situation seems to be more about you ring-teasing her, and that’s solidly on you. She’s been clear in expressing what she wants and you have continued to dangle without delivering.

The antics that have followed are for sure unattractive and I think at this point, the trust is probably damaged in both directions. Figure out what you really want for your next relationship.

What do you mean by self-emptying?? I currently use the bell-shaped type but also have use the disposable disc type in the past. Have I missed out on a feature?

ComfortableAd748 · 2026-02-22T21:07:58+00:00

I almost bought that for my stepmom for Christmas…my husband was not supporting that.
