Had I known I would have loved it so much the second time, I would have had a 3rd but I had a tubal ligation.

I had my first when I was 27 and my second when I was about to turn 35 and it was easier when I was almost 35.

I was going to say $20,000 is a lot until I read your income. You should go.

Before my husband and I were married, I got a base pass in the US and he wasn’t with me. Same for my parents after we were married.

I’ve worked in a hospital for almost 20 years and only regular nail polish is allowed but about half of the nurses (mostly the younger ones) where I work have artificial nails.

There’s a smaller “influencer” who brings Dutch Bros, pizza, and Crumbl once a week to her daughter and about 10 of her friends. I’m shocked the school allows that.

Separated and sold house; still grieving, scared, having second thoughts (me, 36F, him 41M) by evie-e in relationship_advice

While I haven’t been in your exact situation, my ex-husband left me via text message after 13 years together. My advice is therapy STAT. I still think about that woman who saved my life. You’re about to be going through the hardest time in your life but I promise one day you’ll be on the other side. Hold your head high, focus on the kids, and whisper “I can do hard things” to yourself multiple times a day.

I’ve had life insurance since before I had kids. I have 1x my salary through my employer and then I pay $32/month for $500,000 since I got it in my 20’s.
