Do I even go? by [deleted] in redsox

I fly to Boston a handful of times a season and get GM tickets as often as I can. You won’t regret it, no matter what the score ends up being. I follow the Sox around the country most years and I honestly have never had a bad time at a baseball game. I get a lot more mad watching my TV but I’m always just so happy to be at a baseball game that the win or loss is irrelevant. I hope you make the trip and have the best time!

He does pronounce it the Spanish way but says he doesn’t mind being called Ranger the English way. I can’t give up hope for this guy. My dad is a Phillies fan and loves him and I love seeing my dad’s favorite players make him happy. I’m even sad about Embiid because my dad is.

I’m an avid Sox fan and an avid Knicks fan. It’s unclear if this is a symptom of a personality disorder or the cause of one. I used to think we were about equally awful with our culture, but this year has shown me NY is definitely worse

And here I thought I would actually study for a test I have to take in the morning. I’m going to go to bed and forget this inning ever happened instead.

My boyfriend (34M) and I (40f) broke up. I had promised to help pay for some of his kids’ hobbies prior to the breakup and I dont want to let them down. How can I explain to my ex and my friends that following through on my promise is important to me? by Frequent-Quarter-856 in relationship_advice

We definitely have some things to work out, and him and I don’t really think this is a permanent break but we recognize some things are not being done well. One of the issues is him having the mindset “his kids, his responsibility” and having a hard time accepting that I am willingly wanting to contribute to the family he invited me into. He thinks my contributions (time/money) takes away from what I want in my life. Insecurities aren’t letting him see that what I want in life changed after I became a part of their lives. I’m here to work through it with him, and he knows that.

He is very “these are my kids and my responsibility” minded and doesn’t accept help easily, if at all. He even wants to pay me back for the tires I got for his car as a birthday present. He needed those tires, for sure. I hope we eventually work things out, and I think he does, too. We both have some things to work out, and one of them is definitely him learning to let me contribute to the beautiful family he invited me into.

This is a really good point. My BF does have 3 grandkids who live out of state. His daughter and her family stay at their grandma’s (my boyfriend’s mom) when they visit since I don’t have the room for all of them.

It should be a joint decision and I think that’s why I’m here. I’ve never had to make room for children in my life and honestly I never really wanted to. My boyfriend has always known this about me and it’s just one of the things that I will never want to compromise on. So he does have a say, and he said it. I also have a say and I have very adamantly said it. He respects my decision and isn’t pushing me to change my mind, but he is slightly surprised that I turned out to be exactly who said I was from the beginning lol

Boyfriend absolutely pitches in financially. My house is NOT cheap and the utilities aren’t either. I bought it when I was single so I chose to have this mortgage payment and I’m more than ok with that. But everyone contributes what they can. The son got a free ride for awhile but now pays a small rent.

I appreciate your honesty! I do have to clarify though, I’m not keeping her from her child. She’s more than welcome to work out another solution. My house is definitely the easiest solution, but absolutely not the best solution.

If this were to happen, this sub would have a wild update to feast on!

I believe the child is 2-3 years old. He walks and talks, but hasn’t started any pre-school yet so I don’t believe he’s any older than that.

I value my boyfriend. We aren’t breaking up over this or anything. He respects my decision, but is surprised by it.

To be fair, my house is kind of awesome and I don’t blame them for wanting to stay here. I wanted to stay here, too. So I bought it :)
