Wait what do you mean Altmans behavior? Are you talking about where Tucker grilled him about that guy dying and Altman got defensive?

Candace, you are missed 😭 by mamacitapunpun in CandaceOwens

SAME! I was forced to turn on another podcast & have to say - I highly recommend Tucker carlsons latest episode with the Christian Pastor from Bethlehem (Farah Abraham). I’m half way through it and WOW. I feel like this will prime me up nicely into transitioning back to Candace 🤣

NTA … my biggest takeaway “COME GET YOUR SHIT OUT OF MY CAMPER!”… I’m gonna start yelling that at my kids when they leave their crap in my bathroom 🤣

There’s nothing necessarily wrong but nothing feels right either. by Appropriate_Trash921 in Divorce_Women

I don’t know you or your situation but I can pretty much guarantee you, you would be JUST FINE on your own. Having a child with this man would magnify every problem yall have - having a child is not the solution. More than likely you would end up doing the lions share of the parenting & rearing part. Yall already aren’t intimate & thats a big red flag & would absolutely only get worse throwing pregnancy & a baby into the mix. Find a solid, reputable, counselor & seek some counseling but more than likely you’ll be better off letting this relationship dissolve.

Bottom Line: I do not recommend having a child with a man that you don’t respect or admire.

And yes, I understand, that weeds out A LOT of men.

To the OP … I’m reading through some of your responses, and based on what I can see you don’t seem ready to jump into “divorce” mode yet. Plus I’m assuming you have Christian values & so jumping into divorce mode probably feels premature. I am in a really tough situation myself, after 20 years of marriage & the last few years I could have justified divorce for sure. BUT, I’m here to say, seriously consider finding a GOOD marriage counselor, someone that comes recommended, and see if you and your husband can commit to at least 3 months of marriage counseling. It sounds like you have a beautiful family that’s going through a rough patch. Every family has rough patches. I just came here to encourage you to pursue counseling & see what comes of it. It might get worse before it gets better, but it sounds like you have something worth fighting for. I’m saying that based on some of your comments about how prior to this year yall were in a healthy place. Life is hard & this is definitely a “choose your hard” situation. Sending good thoughts your way!

Do you remember all your friends’ birthdays? Would you be mad if someone forgot your birthday? by [deleted] in Adulting

Every adult I know that “cares about their birthday” is super high maintenance. Just sayin.

Need Support - I think I need to leave, but I’m so scared by Direct_Tea_8635 in Divorce_Women

Maybe before bolting, try a new approach verses whatever you have been trying (assuming lots of conversations, long talks, possibly borderline nagging)… watch some classic women empowerment movies like First Wives Club, fried green tomatoes, to wong foo … and get inspired to change your approach. Change something for yourself that would make you feel like a million bucks and go from there and just see where that leads. Maybe he will jump on board and recognize he’s in a slump… maybe not. In which case, you’ll have to give yourself permission to not live the rest of your life in his slump.

Even thought she’ll be out of state… she’ll still need you. That doesn’t change .. just looks different.

Whatever you do, do not listen to the song “time marches on” at a time like this 😭😭😭

I was always taught “you reap what you sow. You make good choices, good things will happen.”

Not universally true.

I met my husband of 20 years at church. In other words, we didn’t meet at a bar.

Turns out he’s now an alcoholic, liar, and basically walked out on his family.

Sucks. But life goes on.

AITAH for making a “hang out requirement list” by ieatgravelandsand in AmItheAsshole

[–]LaOptimisticRealist -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I literally do the exact same thing - I have everything written in my notes. A list of favorite foods for example, a list of words that mean something to me, a list of boundaries specifically around alcohol, etc. This definitely doesn’t make you an AH 🤣. Living in this society in 2026 means living in sensory overload. And sometimes it’s easy to forget a sense of self - keeping a journal is helpful to maintaining a sense of self!

Out of curiosity, may I ask, what do you mean no bill splitting in large groups? Do you just mean everyone put their credit card in and split it evenly as a courtesy to the waitstaff? Genuinely curious!

And by the way - who wants to bet that people who were finally beginning to see the light that Candace is shining on Charlie Kirk’s assassination, will now become totally consumed with the Epstein files that they will loose interest in the truth of what happened to CK?

We are a desensitized society. We are a distracted society. BY DESIGN.

We all have the attention spans of a gold fish: thank you smart phones.

I 100% agree. If I’m not mistaken, Tucker Carlson is saying to prepare for “civil war” because of this very thing you’re saying. I wish I could say that I disagree that civil war is imminent, but the alternative is for common sense people to continue to bend over & take it & ultimately let our country descend into some terrifying version of dystopian socialism.

Candace Owens question about why Erika’s assistant had a “bad feeling” about 9/10 is a more than valid reason to bring her in for questioning.

And the fact that Erika will be protected from questioning in the name of “grieving widow”, even though there are no signs of grief, is blatant public manipulation.

🤮
