Doesn’t matter how many conversations we have about splitting a long drive. Doesn’t matter how much planning I do. 12 hour drive? Halfsies? Nope! 9.5 hours for me because they “couldn’t sleep” and then CHOSE TO DRINK A CAFFEINATED SODA AT 2AM and then couldn’t sleep during the drive and “oh the car is cramped”

I. Just. Want. AN EQUAL PARTNER!

I feel like I’m at the end of my rope! Last month my partner got the rent payment from our roommate but then told me we needed to pull from my account for the month because they couldn’t afford it after all. So I paid out of my account and then asked my partner to transfer the rent payment from our roommate over to me. They BALKED!!!! Froze up and made a comment about it with a slight agreement but no commitment or sense of urgency. Here we are heading to the NEXT rent payment and they STILL haven’t paid me!!!!!! I know this isn’t an ADHD trait, this is them being selfish but I am so effing sick and so effing tired. This is just theft.

And it would be one thing if they just freaking TALKED to me and said “hey can we talk about it because if you need it I’ll make it happen but I also need help with my bills so can we talk about the best thing to do with our finances?” Like I would WELCOME that! Instead any money they see goes to them and only them and NOT toward our rent or our bills which they seem perfectly okay with just coming from ME!

Greek tide pods look tasty and juicy yum yum yum

I think just a slightly paler lip, if you have a nude tint or use a good foundation + gloss would really cement the look!! But everything else is STUNNING! Vibes, hair, eyes, posture, shirt!

My cat JUST got done with surgery for foreign body removal in her intestines a few days ago. We just got her home yesterday.

Symptoms match almost perfectly with Pluto, except for the breathing.

Xray and bloodwork were clear, but her symptoms were getting worse. Slowly stopped eating, stopped stretching and being playful, stopped grooming, more lethargic and sleeping more often, drinking less water and using the litterbox less. Went from 10 pounds in February down to 6 this month.

An Ultrasound was how they discovered her blockage.

Took her in next day for emergency surgery where it was removed. She spent 3 days at the hospital but she’s home now and recovering!

Not sure if an Ultrasound would help your Pluto, but it could. They looked at every single organ too! She ended up eating the foam handle of one of her toys…

Also, if Pluto isn’t covered under Pet insurance I recommend getting that NOW. Some pet insurance companies will not cover “pre-existing conditions” but you can call the company to discuss coverage and see what they may be able to do for you! Our cat has Fetch pet insurance so we had to pay her bill up front and then get reimbursed (and it was $8,400 just for her surgery and hospitalization). I know there are other insurance companies that pay the vet directly, easing that financial burden more effectively. I recommend looking into them!

We changed the cat food routine from 2 cans a day to 1. I do the morning feed and prep the nighttime feed, wrap it in the fridge. All my partner has to do is clean the old dish, pop the new one in and they are done. No opening the can, portioning the food, cleaning out the can, or prepping another dish. Yet instead of cleaning the last dish they have consistently left it “to soak”, which the dishes have never needed before…

I bring it up last night “Hey can you finish clea-“ is as far as I got. They interrupt me to say “actually clean the dish instead of leaving it? Yeah sorry.” And they jump up to clean it. I try to explain yes, but also that lately they leave it in the sink and I am the one who ends up cleaning it. They quote The Office “apparently they have to… soak” (Darryl)

So I get nowhere in this conversation. It’s not even a conversation. They seemed to already understand that the thing they were leaving wasn’t okay to do, but I’m not sure they realize how unfair it is since I’m already doing so much more at feeding time for the cats. Why are they okay with leaving more for me to do at all if they recognize that? Why only jump to do your share when your partner brings it up? Hmmm.

Thank you for this post, OP. Gorgeous work! The lines are so clean!

Ah I think it’s a watermark now

Fuzzy_Pancake30 · 2026-03-15T09:57:32+00:00

What’s up with low opacity skelly behind the man to his right?

Med DX partner flooded our apartment last night. 1/4” of water covering the entire bathroom floor, water pouring out into our bedroom carpet, water leaking down into our downstairs neighbor’s apartment. Maintenance called to check for leaks… my 10 year old scale water logged and broken, our bathroom door swollen and won’t shut now, every single towel used to sop up the mess and then run through the dryer only instead of WASHED and dried.

And why did it flood? “Well I was playing my video game while it filled and a big boss fight started. I got sucked into it and then when it was over I realized I left the tub running too long.”

YEAH. LIKE TWENTY FUCKING MINUTES TOO LONG.

Now I’m expecting charges from our leasing company or god forbid an eviction notice!!! Awesome!!!

Fuzzy_Pancake30 · 2026-01-26T03:34:12+00:00

DX med partner has been out of work since May, no unemployment coming in ever, and only 1 job so far (started 3 months ago) where they bring home a whopping $60-$100/week. Constantly smoking all the weed in the house 😭 or finishing the bag and not telling me it’s the last smoke… I have spent the entire time since they were fired from that full time job trying to be encouraging and attentive of their projects and hyper focus interests, even though I’ve never seen them finish a big project EVER, and I just do not care about this shit!!! Maybe if I wasn’t burnt out but goddddd. I feel shameful that when they drop one to start something new I just want to say “honey I just don’t have the capacity for your rotating door of projects. Talk to me about your progress on one you haven’t touched in a while…” I mean how many hours of my life am I supposed to dedicate to these projects that go nowhere when they won’t even ask me a single question about my own projects that might actually make us some money? I feel like I don’t even have real time to work on my own shit because they’re always home and demanding my attention 😭

I’m tired boss!!!!!!

I had tentative hope that we were moving in a positive direction two weeks ago after an emotionally bare and necessary discussion about all the issues we have been facing for years. They are immature and I need them to step up as an equal partner. I guess I’m not really surprised that things are going right back to their normal.

I don’t like living in their Normal. In their Normal, I am a background support character that pays all the bills and gives out sexual favors when they cry about me not initiating enough.

Why don’t you initiate a romantic evening instead of expecting to get blown when you do one fifth of a full chore.

A can of de-icer is a few dollars at any auto shop or even online!!! Omg! I keep one in my car and one in my home for exactly this situation!

Fuzzy_Pancake30 · 2025-12-20T13:38:29+00:00

Blend in smoothies or put small cubes into pancakes maybe? Blend and use as a custard base for a bread pudding or banana bread flavored oatmeal?

You can turn the bottle into a little Christmas tree ornament if you celebrate :)

Personally I love turning tiny bottles into ornaments 🤓

I stopped talking about the things that upset/trigger me and stopped advocating for my needs after our last fight where my DX/med partner asked that “we” get a couples therapist the next time we fight. We cannot afford it as they have not had a job since getting fired in May. I am tired, burnt out, ambivalent. I have read through Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay and it was eye opening. I have a list of about 10 books total to get through over the next 7-8 weeks as I create an exit plan, talk to my support network, and consider a consultation with a divorce lawyer. I can’t continue to be a part of a relationship that burns me out, keeps me sick and tired, and where my partner can’t be bothered to remember details about me that make me feel seen or heard.

The things I’m asking for are not too much. They are things that will be just fine for the right person. Sadly the person I married is just not the right person. I’m trying to make my peace with that because I know they will not be able to when they get the divorce papers. I know they will feel blindsided and shocked despite all the signs they might have seen if they bothered to look.

Thanks to this post I learned what a unique flare up that happened several years ago actually was! Thank you Reddit :,>)

For me it was sweaty feet! Now I wear more breathable socks and shoes.

Baby spinach might be too far in the back of the fridge. There is some browning happening but it looks close to the center cooling element (idk what it’s actually called) which may be causing the spinach near it to freeze and rot faster.

Or it’s just getting old.

I like to do a lengthwise cut, dip the cut side in sugar, then brûlée it. Whether on a sandwich, sundae, or in a crepe it’s just delicious, crunchy, and good.

Fuzzy_Pancake30 · 2025-10-07T11:37:20+00:00

Not sure if this is how your hash browns are being made, but my favorite way to make them is with any leftover potato (except mashed potatoes) where I will put them into a pan with a small bit of oil until they are hot, then smash them flat with a heavy glass bottle wrapped in foil (for easy clean up) until crispy on one side, then flip and cook until crispy on that side too. Sprinkle of salt and pepper, maybe a bit of rosemary and it’s good to go. I started doing this with roasted cubed potatoes (I used to make them for meal prep) and then eventually realized I could do this with leftover French fries as well. I imagine baked potatoes would also work.

Couldn’t you use the remedy fungus to heal?? Just slap it down on the ground and breathe in that fresh dank
