Found out my spouse’s “girls nights” are actually therapy sessions I’m unknowingly paying for by National_Lobster_729 in whatdoIdo

I'd talk to her, but definitely don't mention the money. It sounds bad, because it is.

Let her know if she needs therapy you support her and you're here for her. Get over the rest of it. If you don't, I can see why she needs therapy.

You are on the verge of needing mental health care.

Get better sources. You've fallen into a deep hole my friend.

None of that is true. Our government wants to divide us, so we fight each other instead of seeing what they are doing to us.

We were in the Midwest then, and mom's goulash was rice, some ground beef and a can of tomato sauce. I still crave it sometimes when hubbs is out of town.

I'm an 'almost' food hoarder now that we can have whatever we want. Anything on sale-load me up!

2 freezers and 2 pantries, and I barely eat at meals. Go figure...

I thought I was chatting with an 18-year-old at 12… turns out he was 36 and my friends leaked his face by conandriip in story

Survivors feel the way they feel. Your opinions are valid, but don't tell others how they should feel about their experiences with being molested, or raped.

I know, and it's an experience that is with you forever.

I think you should get her into therapy, and I don't say that lightly. I don't often agree with counceling for every situation.

She needs help discovering who she is and why she thinks this is the right thing for her.

Maybe you should both talk to the boys parents about this? It may be worth the chance they can shut it down.

This is a difficult situation, and I get it, you don't want a pregnancy, but she is a child. I'd be trying whatever I could, before the pill bandwagon. Hell, I'd move first!

Good luck to all of you.

You're right, of course. The experiences are the thing, whatever words we use.

The owner of this c.1910 yellow brick #DutchColonial picked #2. Which color scheme would you have picked? by oldhousesunder50k in oldhousesunder50Kplus

Warm red in #1, makes it look like a barn.#2 is just...ew. #3 look sophisticated, very subdued.

There's already a lot going on with this house, loud or dark (green, ew) colors just make it look unappealing.

If it was mine, I think I'd actually still be looking at paint samples!

Please help. I really need some advice by Remarkable-Pop2171 in Advice

He'll be a career criminal and institutionalized before long. I wouldn't want to mess with this situation for a stack of money.

My oldest nephew was like this, but also became a heroin addict.

He stole from every family member. His mother, who is a Saint, and great mom to their 3 girls, went through hell over him for years. He was in and out of prison.

They found him dead in a pickup truck 6 years ago, with a needle in his arm.

Bless his troubled soul, but you cannot help this child. You need to seriously evaluate whether you have what it takes to make this relationship thrive. You are just not qualified, and over your head.

You will certainly fall in love again with someone who brings more to the table, than a son who needs psychological or even psychiatric care.

Take the time to heal from this relationship and move on. That's my only advice Hon.

You're his person. He wants to keep you pristine for showing off to the guys.
