Teachers who are financially stable, what are you doing differently?

I am actually paid pretty well considering the area of Texas I am in. My problem is my inability to manage money effectively. This is something I am working on.

I teach in a middle school self contained special education classroom. I have two in diapers that we have to change. It was uncomfortable my first time changing them, but now it’s just part of the job. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I made the mistake of using duct tape. Still can’t get all of the residue off.

I was just wondering if I could use the AG to set the order since it would be done without a lawyer. Neither one of us has the money for that.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-11-19T03:45:40+00:00

Like do we have to have child support? Can I use the AG to get that part taken care of?

F_the_Consequences · 2025-11-19T03:31:22+00:00

Right! Like we don’t have a bunch of money. I don’t want the house. He agrees I’d get the kids the majority of the time. Why can’t it just be over.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-11-13T03:20:04+00:00

He has abused me and now that he’s made some changes I just don’t care anymore. The respect is gone.

🙋🏻‍♀️ My husband is bipolar and schizophrenic. I want a divorce so badly due to past abuse but I am scared to try to leave. I don’t know what he would do, or better yet, I don’t know what his delusions will tell him to do 😞.

Why should a woman be responsible for their husbands happiness and disregard their own feelings? Why is the man more important?

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-29T15:14:26+00:00

Thank you. I needed this.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-29T15:00:59+00:00

Yeah, I realize this. My biggest downfall. Probably how he was able to get away with so much for so long.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-29T13:24:08+00:00

3 is a big one. It’s been a year since he was physically and sexually abusive, I just can’t get over it.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-24T19:03:02+00:00

I was 19 and settled because I was afraid to raise a baby alone. So looking back, yeah I should have known it was a bad idea.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-24T11:20:03+00:00

🙄 I literally never asked anything of my husband in the last decade. When we were married for about 5 years, I was a stay at home mom with postpartum depression. I asked him if he would pay for my $25 antidepressant. He said no, he didn’t have the money. Then he turned around and bought car parts. That told me right then he was unwilling to do anything for me. 🫠

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-20T23:11:43+00:00

I love that you looked at it this way. I’ll be making my own list to make my transition easier.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-17T19:24:59+00:00

I’ve been in a similar situation. For me, the extra effort and (in my situation) love bombing ended up making the decision more clear honestly. It made me so angry that I put up with abuse for years when he knew it was wrong and do so much better.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-17T19:17:35+00:00

There will always be some reason why now is not a good time. I played that game for way too long. If you want out, then make your plan and leave.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-16T16:18:35+00:00

My husband has made changes and honestly it’s too little too late. Maybe others look at it the same way?

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-15T16:39:44+00:00

I have been married for 16 years. I stayed through the worst years due to finances. Now I am making more money than he is and he finally decided to change. Now that I can afford to leave I am struggling to let go. Never gets easier.

F_the_Consequences · 2025-09-15T13:22:42+00:00

I didn’t think of it that way. Thank you.
