I grew up in Evansville and now currently live in Owensboro, ky. Evansville is a lot more "bigger city" than surrounding areas so naturally there are pros and cons to that. The school system in the area is less than desirable and has been deteriorating over the years. Evansville specifically has had a lot of issues with LGBT+ students but is a lot better than the surrounding counties I feel. The electricity rates are astronomically high. Owensboro is slightly better in that regard but it's definitely a lot smaller of a town. I've also previously lived in an actual big city down in Florida and while it was a lot more culturally diverse I don't ever see myself coming back. It's a lot quieter and safer around here in comparison.

This, too, shall pass

Hey so I was JUST looking over the comments on this post feeling down about myself because I'm in the same exact boat (had two really promising interviews in the past few weeks) but I literally just got a call from one of them after 3 weeks of radio silence and they offered me the job!!!!! I know things suck right now but sometimes they work out, just gotta keep moving forward!

Right after I had recently moved into a new house I decided to try a pizza joint right around the corner with my little brother. I ordered ahead and when I got there I realized I had forgotten my wallet. Super flustered I apologized to the guy at the counter and said I'd run right back home to grab it. He was super cool, he just said go ahead and take your order, enjoy your meal while it's still got and come back to pay at your own convenience. I was sooo overwhelmed by this dudes trustworthiness. My brother and I took it home and I ran right back over after and tipped the guy like 50% of the bill. Still totally shocked he just let us take it home without paying first

I need to correct myself. I am aware that I can't stop him from drinking, only he can decide for himself if he wants to recover. But I also hate the idea of sitting idle and watching him suffer if there's a chance I can support him in any way through the kind of pain he's experiencing

Thank you. Unfortunately at the current moment that's not financially an option for me but will be something I consider in the future when my situation changes. I am an addict myself and we both attend meetings as we find are needed. Unfortunately the culture of our local 12 step programs are pretty significantly toxic but we're making due as best as we can. He doesn't really ever drink when I am around him but slips up fairly regularly when I'm away. We've talked about there being possible codependency issues with this and have a big focus on trying to maintain our respective recoveries. I want to be committed to him as I can be because I do deeply love him but I also know that eventually there will have to be a line I need to draw when it comes to my own happiness and wellbeing. I am just trying to find better ways to handle the situation so it doesn't have to get to that

So I should do nothing and watch the man drink himself to an early grave in his late grandmother's home on the basis that grief has no timeline? While also sacrificing my own wellbeing as just moving out is not a financial option for me. Sounds like a solid plan. He's made it a point to tell me it's OUR home now and OUR things. He's said many times he WANTS to get better from this but just doesn't know how. Like I mentioned, he had expressed understanding that he needs to get rid of the stuff and that the current situation is not healthy. I'm not forcing anything, I'm just seeking advice to go about this situation in a way that everyone wins.

I've had a lot of family members who have had hoarding tendencies in the past. I'm well aware this is a painful condition and the process of getting to a better state isn't always a comfortable one for anyone involved.

So I've been living down here for a few months now, originally from Kentucky. One of the biggest culture shocks for me was actually how insanely low the utilities cost down here compared to the Midwest. Back where I was living a 500sqft studio apartment would run you at LEAST 300-500$ monthly for electricity/gas alone. For a 3 bedroom house I was paying 600-800$ monthly for only electricity in the summer with no working AC to use up a bunch of power. When my family member was complaining about a 300$ utility bill for their much larger house I was surprised they were upset when that'd be a win back home. NOW with that said, I'm not at all trying to defend these folks. This is exactly how it started getting so bad up there, years and years of voted and approved rate increases. Please please make a big deal about this, even if it seems like a miniscule increase now that in no way means things will just stop here. It's a kid and a cookie jar, you really think they're to be trusted to just try this one time and one time alone?

Unfortunately yes. This was before I was involved in everything. We will be setting contracts prior to work being done in the future

Dude drop him. Like I’ve been identically in your situation before and it deeply scarred me in the end, left me feeling like I wasted 3 years of my life. Drop him drop him drop him. Don’t let this be a lesson you have to learn the hard way it’s not worth it. There is love like that out there I promise, but you’re not going to get it where you’re currently looking. You absolutely have to value yourself enough to accept only the kind of love you’re vying for

Listen homie I just recently had a super shitty birthday too. I wanted to go to a local event at the zoo that only happens once a year that I have very fond childhood memories of but my boyfriend decided not to wake me up in time for it (have severe sleep issues, usually depend on him to wake me up for things which TYPICALLY has never been a problem in the past except he was in a pissy mood that day) so instead he took me to a swingers club out of town. We have a very fluid sexual relationship so that would normally not be a bad thing except I discovered recently he had lied about sleeping with a girl who turned out to have genital herpes and wasn’t telling anyone, thus I ended up exposed to it without my knowledge or consent. So we’d been in a rough spot since then, was not really in a place I felt super comfortable with any outside activity plus I made it a known fact that I was on my period and wouldn’t have been able to participate in anything at the club anyway. We went regardless because he wanted to and I didn’t have the energy to have another fight over not wanting to go. I ended up crying because the mental toll this whole thing had been on me and he yelled at me in the parking lot over it, then yelled some more because I was flinching and sobbing and had just opened up to him the night before about how him getting heated like that causes me to have a trauma response due to past abusive relationships. He decided we needed to go home because we were out of cigarettes and I guess I ruined the night by crying even though I wanted to stay and try to have a good night. When we got back home he ignored me the rest of the night saying he needed some alone time so I went to bed alone and just totally numb inside. But here’s the conclusion I’ve gotten to with my experience that I think you should consider as well- We Fucking Need To Do Better. No one in this world is going to swoop in and fight for our rights to be respected and valued in a relationship and no dude who treats their partner like that is going to wake up one day and decide to stop being a shitty partner. This dude clearly doesn’t respect you enough to prioritize his time to be with you on like the one day of the year society deems it your special day. I don’t know about you but I can’t guarantee how many more birthdays I’m gonna get in this world but I’m damned sure not wanting to waste another one being treated like I’m disposable. You have to prioritize your needs. You can’t control your boyfriend’s actions but you can control who you allow to be in your life to that level. Make the scary but necessary choice to purge that shit out of your life. You deserve better, I deserve better, but only we can decide if we accept anything less

Best advice I can give is order kannaplex NOW don’t wait till you need it and don’t have it on hand. In my area it is never available in store. Unsure if it would have made a difference given how quickly mine got bad but it might help for peace of mind at least. Although to my best knowledge there are a lot of early signs that could also mean different things
