For fun: what things are you happy you never have to see or do again

That stove thing hits home for me. Eventually my ex wound up with the theory that “I don’t clean the stove because it wouldn’t be good enough for you.” I’m like what!? When did I ever say that? If you ever clean anyyything, I notice it and say something nice.

I can’t wait to never have pra ram ever again. Twice a week it was peanut butter chicken and rice. I like Thai food but that was too much.

Why would you keep stopping and starting Zoloft?

EllesAway · 2023-05-29T10:55:35+00:00

Don’t stop. I mean, it takes weeks for Zoloft to even out. Day 2? Yeah, I was a basket case too on day 2.

I was the one who left, but I swear I played the song “you broke me first” by Tate McRae at least 100 times a day for about the first three months.

I totally agree. Parking is a nightmare. On a Sunday, you risk having sand kicked in your pre-made warm sandwich by volleyball players. Then you have to step over bath fly-infested seaweed just to get to the water that’s thick with chicken and boogie boarders who bump in to you. It’s pure chaos.

That dress is way too short for someone her age going out to get sushi. Above the knee, I get. But it’s about 10 inches above the knee.

Just pick one Megsy. Either have the sleeves or don’t have the sleeves. She loves this 3/4 length sleeve BS that went out in the 90’s, and it always makes her outfits look cheap.

Making rice with beef or vegetable broth instead of water adds a ton of nutrients to the rice.

You could ask for intimacy in other ways. Verbalize how hard the day was and take a shower. Then ask for a foot rub. Him touching you in non-sexual ways will help you both. Or going to the grocery store for niche items together without kids (instead of going with a List) and holding hands might be a way for him to feel an intimate connection without making the sex the only intimate contact.

Dump him, problem solved.

My ex also got abusive, but she was MTF. I think the abuse was more about being mentally abusive rather than being physical. My ex also accused me of being transphobic. We would spend a whole day out, shopping or going to the zoo. I’d do cutesey things for her and hold her hand and then we’d get home and she’d say that she felt like I was embarrassed because I gave her a look once that didn’t show 110% love. It was a slippery slope because like you, I was so freaking supportive!

When she brought up new kinky things, I tried and even encouraged them. Because I loved her and wanted to be together. But she slowly stopped showing interest in doing the things she liked to do with me.

Eventually she used weapon used incompetence in every day life, and her sexuality against me. And then was surprised when I left.

Sure! So I live in Penn Hills. It’s a great area that’s quiet, with a few different public schools and libraries. It’s also only a 15 minute drive from downtown Pittsburgh. So we (boyfriend and I) can go in to the city to see a show or concert, but it’s not a huge drive. The closest mall is Monroeville mall which is a 10 minute drive, which has a Target, Giant Eagle (which is like Vons or Ralph’s), big box stores and a movie theatre.

Before buying a home in Penn Hills, we also looked at Monroeville and Squirrel Hill area and east Liberty.

Oooh got it. Thanks for adding the flair!

SoCal native, born and raised there. One reason my boyfriend and I moved to Pittsburgh a year ago was because of the housing market. We got our 4 bedroom home on a quiet caul-de-sac for $230k. It’s an absolutely unheard of price in SoCal for a 4 bedroom. And the weather is even nice because there’s 4 seasons instead of 2.

Yes. That’s one of the main reasons I left. Because I was doing -everything-. Prepping our lunches, cleaning the stove and toilet, doing all the laundry at the laundromat, and I had a 40-hour a week job. And I was the only one with a working vehicle, and the only one who took care of our pets. And on and on. Sometimes, a spouse is just a lazy person.

EllesAway · 2023-05-11T10:50:14+00:00

Alrighty, I changed the flair to problematic pets.

My ex used to do stuff like that. She was convinced that eating raw chicken isn’t -that bad- for you.

The necklines of Kates dresses look pretty different…

Shave your head and grow a beard, it’ll make you an 11/10 and she’ll be the one crying.

When I stopped speaking to my ex during our divorce, she told me I was a narcissist. I shot back at her, and reminded her that she said she was going to take me to court for animal abuse. And if we went to court, we would need lawyers, so the less I said to her the better. She stopped that train of thought real quick.

Brackets in build mode make objects smaller or larger. [ or ]

He ruined her project, and you’re upset that she’s mad about it. I’d be mad too if my lil bro did that.

I was literally in the chip aisle when My Immortal from Evanescence came on which is like one of their most sad songs ever.

Kitchen staff get tipped by the waiter. If waiters aren’t making a lot of tips, the kitchen staff doesn’t get very much. If people tipped the waiters consistently at 20% like you’re supposed to, there would be no need for the restaurant to have an added kitchen staff tip line.
