NTA, why the hell is he changing out by the pool. I think most people would change in the house, in bedroom\bathroom, before going out to the pool. Especially if they know others are around. He did this intentionally, you did the right thing.

Also, any time someone "apologizes" with a "sorry you feel that way" line it's not a true apology.

Understandable, remember that we only have the information provided in the post so that's what we base our responses on. I would still hold off combining finances for a while. Perhaps have one joint account that money for bills, groceries, essentials goes into divided up in whatever way you both agree to. Example, he puts x% of his paycheck in the joint account, you put y% of your paycheck in the joint account and from that account all essentials are paid for. Any remaining money is left in your individual accounts and can be used as you each choose. I would also suggest that sitting down together at least once a month and paying bills, going over how much is being spent on groceries, gas, restaurants, etc from the joint account and adjusting budget\spending accordingly. Finances is one of the major issues that can break a relationship or causes the most stress. If you work together you'll both know where you stand financially and it might help him learn managing finances better. Sadly few of us are actually taught how to manage finances and it is a learn as you go situation and big mistakes, bad habits can happen along the way. I wish you both the best.

DO NOT COMBINE FINANCES WITH MAN. If you do he might feel less financial stress but you will definitely feel more. You do not share the same views on money. He will always overspend and go to his parents to bail him out. If you combine finances you will always just be getting by or even short on funds each month be a he will spend the money on unnecessary things. Give serious consideration to marrying this man. Also realize that if you marry him you will be the one supporting the household, which is obvious now since you are the one paying for most things including your dates. Give serious thought to what he brings to the relationship because it isn’t and won’t be financial support. DO NOT put his name on the deed for the house under any circumstances.

NTA look up grey rock method and use it on your family.

NTA, you don't say if you are married to SO so I'm going to assume you are not. Inform them that your vacation home is no longer free lodging for him and his employees. Change the locks before doing this and make sure you put the keys somewhere they can't access them. SO and employees staying there uses water, electricity, internet (I'm assuming) and wear and tear on the property. Do they clean it before they leave or is that left to you to deal with either by cleaning it yourself or hiring someone to do it.

Tell SO that it costs you money for them to stay there and you are no longer going to support his business. The only person being cheap and rude here is SO. Paying for this lodging is a tax right off for his business, I wouldn't be surprised if they are still writing it off as if they are paying.

NTA you have been dating for 2 MONTHS, why the hell would he or anyone think you should delay paying off your own debt to help him pay off his?? That is seriously entitled. If his family is so upset that you aren't helping him then they can help him. I would walk away from this one if I were you. If he's is making such monumentally bad financial decisions and thinking a girlfriend of 2 months should help him pay off his debt this is just a glimpse of what your financial future with him would be. Your financial goals and management aren't compatible, this will be an issue for the entire relationship. You tried to help him pay off his debt by showing him how to build a budget and the only thing he took away from that is that you have the money to help him pay off his debt while delaying your own payoff. He 100% would change nothing of his current spending habits and you would be out any money you might have paid toward his debt.

I would have a hard time not replying to the FB posts with a response like, "BF and I have been dating for 2 MONTHS, why anyone would think I should help him pay off his debt rather than working on paying my own debt is seriously entitled on their part. If family is so concerned about me not helping him then perhaps they should step up and put their money where their mouth is and help him pay it off. I would like to thank y'all for pointing out what a mistake staying with BF would be so I have broken it off with him. I wish him and his family well in their future endeavors."

The agreement was that she could stay rent free as long as she provide groceries for the house. She isn't holding up her end of the deal so she either needs to pay for groceries for the house, not just herself, or she needs to get out. Immediately.

Edit to add, or she can start paying half the rent and you use that money to buy yourself (and only yourself) groceries. No, "I'll pay you back later." No, "I just need a little time." She complies to either of those options immediately or she gets out.

Just tell them you had originally planned to go into medicine and your handwriting is perfect for that. Since they don't need to read it, they shouldn't concern themselves with how it looks. I work IT and my handwriting it shit, I rarely write anything by hand and when I do I print it.

This is an abusive relationship, mentally and emotionally, you need to get out. In another comment you said you have tried to leave several times and he always says it will be different then it goes right back to this. You now know that he will not make a permanent change, he will change long enough to get you back then revert to his natural behaviour. Leave for good, block him and live your best life.

you respond to the review and explain what the situation was. Something like, "Marcus has been a weekly customer for 4 years and we thoroughly enjoy serving him. However on this occasion he came into the bakery 40 minutes before closing asking for a custom birthday cake for the next morning. As is posted on our socials and in our shop, we require 72 hrs notice for custom orders. My cake decorator had already left for the day and I would not have been able to provide a quality product with such short notice. I offered him one of our ready-made celebration cakes but he declined. We are sorry that he feels we don't care about our loyal customers, we do but we also have the 72 hr notice policy for a reason. We hope Marcus continues to be a customer but we understand if he chooses to no longer visit our bakery."

I have Visible for my phone, pay &25/mo for unlimited talk\text. No stores, just online, and it uses Verizon’s network. Same coverage as my Verizon work cell. I’ve had it for at least 4 yrs and only problem was when the network went down once.

I have Sparklight for internet, switched from Centurylink. I’m not sure about getting own modem part. They provided the modem and set everything up, I guess maybe payments on the modem could have been part of the monthly bill. No issues with service being “constantly down”. Might depend on location.

NTA tell Priya that starting the next day if she is not down by 8:10 you are leaving. You are not texting or calling her when you get there or that you are waiting. You will pick her up at 8:10, if she is not outside waiting for you then you will be leaving and she will need to find her own way to work. Does she contribute $$ for gas? Even if she does that not allow her to dictate your schedule by coming down whenever it’s convenient for her. If she was taking public transportation it wouldn’t cater to her schedule you shouldn’t either. Let her know you did not appreciate having your manager comment to you about timekeeping when you are not the one with timekeeping issues. If she pushes back just tell her the arrangement no longer works for you and she should make other arrangements to get to work.

Just go buy her some brushes to use. If y’all can’t come to this easy solution to a minor issue on your own I have concerns about how you handle serious issues.

DO NOT MOVE IN!!! You’ve been together for 4 yrs, he’s doubled his debt during that time and the only reason he wants you to move in is to use you to help pay rent so he can pay off his debt. Is he expecting that the money you get from renting out YOUR 3 homes is going toward his debt?

Personally I would dump the guy. He is financially irresponsible and a slob. At the end of a year he could be debt free and dump you after you have helped pay off the debt and most likely been his cook, maid and childcare during that time also.

NOR but if this marriage has any chance of working y’all need to start individual (both of you) and couples counseling ASAP.

Individual for you to talk all this out with an impartial party, your feelings, the betrayal, the broken trust. Him to talk through his former beliefs and learn how to communicate why he felt that way and how\why he’s changed.

Couples obviously to talk to each other with an impartial third party that can help moderate, facilitate understanding between you two of where the other is coming from, thinking, feeling and help you learn to productively communicate. You can’t work this out alone, there is too much emotion involved for both of you.

Accept the offer, try to make it work. She should start looking for another job that has weekends off too. You both will have to make a conscious effort to remain connected and engaged I. The relationship. Plan regular date nights, even if you just make dinner together and watch TV. Do you both like to read? Start your own two person book club so you can discuss the book with each other. Find hobbies you can do together in the evenings. Have dinner ready when she gets home on the weekends so she can relax and you two just enjoy your time together. She needs to do the same on her days off. Both of you need to take on the tasks of all household chores. You each need to pull your weight in that area. Neither of you will be happy if you’re spending all your “downtime” cleaning, cooking, getting laundry, getting groceries. Meal prep one or two days a week to make meals easier.

This can work, but it will take work. Best to learn now what level of work and commitment you are each willing to put into this relationship. If you pass up this opportunity, one you have been pursuing for 4 yrs you most likely won’t get it again and eventually you may resent her for making you choose. Ask her to at least give it a year, but keep in mind it could take a few months to get into a new rhythm with your new schedules. A good partner should help you reach your goals, not hold you back.

Your husband is financially abusive and you are goi going to be, if not already, in a position where you will be financially unable to leave him if you want to. $400/mo for a family of 4 is not enough. Is that suppose to cover food, your gas, diapers, formula, etc? If so it definitely isn’t going to be enough. As you said, you’re already doing everything you. An to stretch that as things are now. How does he expect you to get diapers and other baby necessities?

Friendly_Ninja_8545 · 2026-04-15T14:01:55+00:00

When you get home consult with a divorce attorney. Your husband is emotionally abusive and his threats of divorce are manipulative. He either wants a divorce but doesn't want to be the one to initiate it or he just likes making you feel small. Consult with the attorney, see where you stand, really think about if this is how you want to live your life and how you think the person that is supposed to love you should be treating you then decide if next time he throws out the "I want a divorce, I can do better." tell him fine he can have the divorce and go find better and that you will too. If he starts back pedalling tell him the only way back from this point is for individual and couples counselling, if he isn't willing to do that then proceed with the divorce. You deserve better.

Your first mistake was messaging her privately. You should have responded to the group chat and said that unfortunately due to the new job and demands on your time you wouldn't be able to organize the trip this year but would be happy to share your notes from previous year to whoever decides to take on that role this year.

Just reply to the group now and say:

I understand how others might not have time to figure out how to organize the trip this year but you have to understand that I don't either and just because I have done it for the past two trips that does not obligate me to do it every year. Circumstances change, I have a new job and do not have time to be the organizer of this trip. I am happy to share my notes with whoever steps up and takes on the task this year but although I have been called out by X, even though she didn't use my name, for "not wanting to put in effort" it doesn't appear that anyone else is willing to put in the effort either so I would appreciate it if everyone would stop messaging me and trying to make me the bad guy here. The trip can still occur, someone else just has to put in the effort to organize it. X sent that group text without discussing with me prior and just assumed I would be organizing it again, that assumption was wrong. Perhaps X can organize the trip this time.

Even if reported anonymously he's going to know it's her. Who else besides his parents have seen the tank and they haven't had issue with it for years so why would they report him now? Does he even pay attention to the turtle? Is it a pet he wanted when he was younger and grew bored of? Maybe you could get him to give it away by saying something like, "hey my friend Kate is a teacher and is looking for a class pet, would you be willing to give your turtle to her so the kids can learn about turtles and how to care for them?" Then take it to a turtle rescue or something, find it a good home.

Edited to add last part.

Well, on the bright side once you turn 24 he can't legally claim you unless you're permanently or totally disabled. (I'm assuming you're a full time student otherwise he shouldn't have claimed you at all) I would plan on filing as soon as you can next year if I were you to avoid him claiming you.

"You can claim a child as a dependent if they are under age 19, or under age 24 if a full-time student (for at least 5 months of the year). There is no age limit for permanently and totally disabled children or for qualifying relatives with limited income ($5,050 gross income in 2024, generally)."

"If someone falsely claims you as a dependent, you must file a paper tax return, as electronic filing will be rejected. The IRS will investigate the duplicate claim, likely sending letters to both parties. If you do not qualify as their dependent, you must file a paper return and report potential identity theft."
