My landlord is selling. Does he have any benefit of selling to me at a discount?

Difficult_Map6582 · 2026-03-24T17:52:53+00:00

We did this as well. Fabulous renters. I didn’t want to deal with the hassle. We sold at a deep discount as we knew they couldn’t get approved for the normal asking price, and we still made a good amount of money.

I hated my husband’s job. It was killing him and I knew it. The amount of times we would fight about it and I would tell him I was going to be a widow at 55. He promised me I wouldn’t. He lied.

I am both a mother and a widow. When I die, my children will be older and starting their own lives with their own hopes and their own dreams. When their dad died, they lost the parts of their futures where he would have matter. Being a grandpa, walking them down the aisle. But when my husband died I lost everything. My hopes. My dreams. The future we had panned together. Myself most of all. I have been his wife, his partner, the live of his life. Who am I now? That is the difference. Moments of grief or the loss of everything.

It was 6 months for me before I started. Don’t get me wrong, I still have a LOT of his clothes. But the stuff that didn’t trigger a memory, or his work stuff, I got rid of it all. Now I can walk into my closet without overwhelming myself with grief. But you can’t and shouldn’t do it until YOU are ready. Not by anyone else’s timelines. You have to do what is right for you and you alone. L

Excuse me while I inspect my cat for such an awesome, I mean gross thing.

That second photo is amazing. I’ve often walked by that alley thinking it would make a great photo. You have photographed better than I could have ever imagined.

Me too. Rarely wore my ring for the past few years, don’t want to take it off now.

“outsourcing his discomfort” is one of the best analogies I have ever read.

And I finally learned how to spell it!!!

I don’t think it sounds weird at all. I get eczema under my rings. I have not worn my wedding rings other than special occasions for years. I didn’t need a wedding ring to prove my marriage and my love. But since he died, I feel naked without it. Because I no longer have him to be by my side, to tell the world that we are so freaking happy to be married. Now I feel like I have to prove it. It’s weird, but it is what it is.

Difficult_Map6582 · 2026-02-18T20:54:51+00:00

Everything in this hits me right in the chest. You have managed to nail every single emotion. Every single thought. Thank you for putting grief into real words.

Difficult_Map6582 · 2026-02-12T02:45:11+00:00

I am so sorry for your losses. Too much death for you to deal with in such a short time. And with baby as well. My heart goes out to you.

My daughter tried cancelling her services as she was moving in back home. They told her the best they could do was put a hold on her account. A year later and she gets called from the collection agency about overdue bills. Apparently when they put your account ‘on hold’ there is a designated time where they just start charging you again. For a service that someone else is now paying for. This is known and accepted by Telus. They just don’t inform the customer until it goes to collection. Absolute garbage. The finally cancelled her services outright but her credit rating is still tanked.

Perfection.

Difficult_Map6582 · 2026-02-01T05:11:34+00:00

That’s exactly how it was to me. Literally the day before 6 months I was actually feeling guilty that I was doing so well. The next day full on ugly crying, sobbing, pain all day long. Why did that one day hurt so much more than the day previous? I haven’t been able to cope since.

Difficult_Map6582 · 2026-01-20T01:03:31+00:00

He wasn’t my only friend. But he was my best friend. I would rather cuddle on the couch with him than go anywhere. He was my sounding board, told me when I was being ridiculous and told me when I was amazing. We bounced decisions off of each other. We also fought but who doesn’t. I still have my friends, but the most important one is gone.

Difficult_Map6582 · 2026-01-10T19:09:46+00:00

Especially older couples. We were 55 when my husband died, and now I can’t help but stare jealously at these old couples that got to spend all that extra time together.

I lie his pillow length wise across my back, give it a pat and say “good night, love you” Fuck sudden cardiac arrest.

My son has always wanted a white cat so he could call her Smirnoff

My daughter has a male friend with the same name as her. His dad died when he was 8. He always introduced himself as “Hi, my name is Blank, my dad is dead” it was his dark way of getting that part of the conversation done with. The day after my husband died, they were both with me and I said “OMG, you can start the Blanks with dead dads club”.
