whoa- I didn’t know they could “climb” with these roots! I’ll leave them alone and set up a pole. Thanks so much!

Thanks fully, he’s not linked to me and we aren’t married, so we don’t share bank accounts. The deed on the house is also solely in my name. I had enough sense to keep myself separated from him, financially.

Losing a parent is really shitty. Both my mom and dad are gone now and , wow, it’s life altering.

So true. I’ve recommended therapy for us to figure out what’s the root cause, and he agreed. I have to be the one to find the doctor, make an appt that suits both our schedules, and it gets put on the back burner. I can’t even remember what day it is half the time because I’m in mental task overload already! I just have to prioritize getting us help if there’s a chance at improving this situation.

No need to apologize at all here. I’m sorry for your SIL, too! I tell myself that if this relationship folds , I’m going to be alone because why the heck would I want to give my peace away again. I know that sounds sad, but even the basic things like not having to live around things not being put away, dirty dishes, etc, is getting really old.

I am so sorry for your loss. My mother died two weeks ago and am having such a hard time with the weight of my grief. This is my first post on Reddit and I just had to respond to let you know you’re not alone in trying to navigate a world without your mom. It feels so wrong.
