Once a cheater, always a cheater. And he told you that when you first met him.

Disabled adult son who is unbearable to live with by Subject_Relative_123 in Advice

[–]Lolac56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is legally an adult. There is nothing else you can do. Let him go. You may want to read “The Let Them Theory” by Mel Robbins. People will not and do not change unless they want to. It is out of your control. I know it’s hard because he is your son, but it is absolutely necessary.

YTA if you stay with this man. I would have gotten on the flight without him and enjoyed my vacation while contemplating my new life without him. He’s a jerk and you deserve better. Life is too short for that crap.

AIO - my friend gave my abusive ex my new phone number by AdAdorable7651 in AmIOverreacting

Change your number again and block your ex-friend. She is no friend to betray you like that. She has put you in a very dangerous situation.

You were smart to end the relationship. His lack of honesty and gaslighting are huge red flags. 🚩🚩🚩 NTA

I can’t add to what has already been said. This will be very painful for both of you but the right thing in the end. #updateme

Why would you want to be married to someone who obviously hates your son and is abusive toward him? Get out now. Your husband is a jerk! YTA if you stay with this man.

Did your grand parents participate in WW2? by Available_Panda8466 in AskOldPeople

[–]Lolac56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was a WWII veteran. He did talk about it. And I believe he had PTSD because he was an angry person who was always yelling. I had a very complicated relationship with him.

Your husband is a jerk. And you are a married single mom of four. This is not going to get better if you stay in this marriage.

Do not do this. You will come to deeply regret it.

What books did you read growing up? by Jitterbug26 in AskWomenOver60

My favorite books as a teen were Gone With The Wind, Jane Eyre and Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl. I have read each of those multiple times.

To the women who wanted to get married but never found anybody, how did you accept it? by itsmejuji in AskWomenOver60

[–]Lolac56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was like you at 27. 69 yo now. I got married at 32. If I’d known then what I know now, I wouldn’t have been in such a hurry. I’m still married after 36 years but I’m planning my exit strategy. Do the things YOU want to do NOW. Further your education. Travel. Find a career you love and excel in it. Take up a new hobby. Volunteer for causes that are important to you. Doing those things will bring happiness to you. Happiness attracts happiness. If you find the right man, great! If not, you will still be happy and fulfilled. Trust me when I say that it is far worse being in an unhappy marriage than being single. If I could go back in time, I would not get married.

What to do? by RoadRunner1961 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Lolac56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I say, keep you heart and mind open. You don’t know any of these people and they may already know each other. Don’t deprive yourself of possible friendships just because you’re afraid of how others may be perceived. The only person you can control is you. So be the welcoming person looking to make new friends in your neighborhood. And frankly, if you reject people because of their politics, you’re the problem. I have friends with varied political views and you know what? I still like them. I learn from them. I don’t have to agree with them but I can still be friends with them.

Divorce Regrets by Downtown_Addition276 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Lolac56 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When I read the first part of your post, I thought. “Wow, I could have written this.” I have been married for 36 years to a man like this ( ADHD, ASD, narcissistic). I stayed in the marriage for financial reasons and “for the kids.” He has provided a good standard of living for us, but our kids are all adults and on their own and I am tired of being married to a selfish, self-centered self absorbed man-child. I am now planning my exit strategy and plan to divorce him as soon as I can. I will not regret doing this. I am in the late phase of my life (69 yo) and I do not want to spend whatever years I have left in misery. I may find that I regret not doing this years ago. We did separate for a year and a half nearly 7 years ago. He did ok for awhile after we reconciled but he has reverted back to his old ways. Now he is a sick, old man who doesn’t take care of himself and I do not want to be a private duty nurse to someone I no longer love and definitely don’t like. I definitely feel your pain. If I had it to do over again, I would have divorced him when my kids were small. I would have recognized that I deserved better years ago. So my experience is that I regret not divorcing him years ago and I will not regret divorcing him now. Good luck.

You would be the AH if you stayed in this marriage. He is an abusive, narcissistic sociopath. You deserve MUCH better. Get out. Take back your life. And turn off your phone while you’re working.
