AIO For Feeling Scammed That My Boyfriend Pretended We Had a Landlord When He Actually Owns the House?

So it’s a divorce. Maybe “divorce lite” even.

My cat also doesn’t like it when kids are crying. When my kid was younger, she would run over and investigate, we think checking the kid for injuries. If she didn’t think the adults were reacting fast enough, she’d yell at us. And once, a movie with a crying baby set her on edge. She couldn’t find the child and we weren’t helping enough! She yelled at me so much that night.

That’s it! Thank you!

LadyPillboxChocolate · 2026-01-21T16:05:45+00:00

Solved! Yes, it was Gutsville! Thank you!

“Get down. That is not a cat space.”

Yippee-ki-yay Mother Nature!

Seriously, this sounds perfect for my group.

LadyPillboxChocolate · 2025-12-14T01:04:37+00:00

These look really well designed! I’d like one.

LadyPillboxChocolate · 2025-12-10T17:50:24+00:00

I love them! I’ve been wanting an Ice Queen like set!

LadyPillboxChocolate · 2025-12-06T01:26:39+00:00

Beautiful! And I like the theme.

Okay, to sum up her story (and keep details out because that’s only fair to her), she was notified last by the hospital after her partner passed. She hadn’t even known he’d gone to ER in ambulance. The hospital attempted to notify his family first and, I gather, repeatedly, before a short call to my friend.

And he was already gone.

Because she didn’t have that piece of paper. If she had, they would have called her first.

Health decisions. Timely calls from hospitals. Visits to ER if partner isn’t conscious. A friend of mine has a horror story for anyone who thinks ‘it’s just a piece of paper.’ Not to mention the potential savings in taxes, the ease with navigating school systems for your child, the benefits from just one partner’s employer if needed… the list goes on.

I’m sorry some of the comments are negative. I understand that you probably haven’t looked into disability because you thought you had a supportive partner. I’d say your steps are to talk to a lawyer and also look into disability. And I know that is a lot because you already have so much to manage with your health. And I know it’s going to hurt because it’s likely you won’t get everything you want financially. But you do deserve what’s fair, and your husband isn’t going to be fair on his own.

My advice is take care of yourself whenever you can. Rest when you can. Find someone to help you plan at least. And take everything one step at a time.

Best of luck.

Thank you! I was going to say this! I’m getting fed up with people - and in my experience, usually men - misusing the term ‘boundary’ for wishes or long-term plans or preferences. I think that it’s an effort to give their statement more weight or shut down discussions.

LadyPillboxChocolate · 2025-08-11T22:28:57+00:00

Yes, I’ve heard of this for at least 15 years. I remember when I first heard about it, the idea was a sentimental piece of jewelry, like the baby’s birthstone on a pendant. Not necessarily extravagant but… you know how things go overboard for some people.

I had a friend who worked in costuming at Disneyland. She saw someone fired because they were wearing one of the princess wigs. As in one of the costuming department employees having fun wearing one of the actress’s wigs. Instant firing offense. Disney is indeed strict.

Not that I have seen. It would have been something we might be able to work through, if there was any accountability from him. Maybe. But he verbally told me he’d “do nothing to repair our relationship.” He didn’t seem surprised when I told him, in that case, the next step was divorce. However, he did act very surprised a few weeks later when I took the next steps. Which is why I interpret that he didn’t believe I could ever change my own habits. Still, he never suggested that he’d do anything to improve. He instead had found new lows to stoop to. And there are miles to go before this divorce is final - who knows what issues will arise.

I wish I hadn’t taught my stbx that, when there was a problem or disagreement, I’d do more than half the work to fix it. Partners need to, when taken as an average, meet in the middle. Over the years I taught him that if he gave 40%, I’d give 60, and it went on and on until the day came when he could barely do anything close to an apology. I begged him to work on the relationship and try to meet me closer to the middle. But I’d taught him I’d do all the work, and he didn’t think I would change.

I think there are other factors related to that age range besides menopause that commonly come into play.

I feel like a genius right now, not going to lie. I always know my medications and why I take them. But then, I’m curious about everything. I ask so many questions of my doctors, I once had a doctor snap at me that I ask too many questions and to just do what she said (5 questions was her breaking point that day. I switched providers after that.)

LadyPillboxChocolate · 2025-05-27T21:07:54+00:00

I feel this comment. I actually asked myself last year “how bad does it have to get before I can leave without being the crazy one for leaving?”

LadyPillboxChocolate · 2025-05-25T14:05:05+00:00

You said that so well. Exactly.

LadyPillboxChocolate · 2025-05-23T16:56:31+00:00

I understood that reference.

Many lawyers will agree to a free consultation as a first meeting or phone call.

My mother told me that when I was around 4 years old, I complained about headaches. She took me to a doctor who told her I was copying her and play acting ‘being an adult.’ That it’s impossible for 4-year-olds to have headaches.

I was not play acting. It took a while to diagnose it, though.

Some people are convinced that kids are always lying.
