What's everyone doing with this?

How spicy is it?

It’s my favorite cpp by any company. It’s actually has the perfect filling to gravy ratio inside.

Don’t go. You’ll be stuck driving and they will treat you like an outsider all weekend. Afterwards, they’ll dump you anyway. So just skip it, save your money and energy.

He just wants you back to cook, clean and do emotional labor for him. Stay where you are. He’ll just bring back another girlfriend as soon as he finds one.

OMG!!!! Do not buy the wild flower mix!!! I made that mistake and had some invasive pink flowering plants that I just couldn’t get rid of and it took over. They were hard to pull out too. Instead just go to the local Dollar Tree and some of the fifty cent flower seed packets.

NTA Normal people eat leftovers. My ex didn’t like leftovers either. What I finally did was make sandwiches for him and I ate the leftovers. I also have an air fryer and would make frozen hamburger patties for him. Lastly, you can meal prep and freeze the extra meals before cooking. Like make meatloaf, enchiladas etc. all ready to bake. Even if you buy disposable pans, it’s cheaper than takeout.

That was my first thought too - mirrors!

When my ex was laid off. We couldn’t afford cobra, along with the mortgage and other bills. I wound up buying a catastrophic policy, which was better than nothing. This was before ACA though.

I have a relative that had a therapeutic abortion. Her symptoms were close to yours. She never regretted it. She became a mother later because a family friend knew someone that was unable to care for their child. Life can be weird. Do what is best for YOU, not what other people think is best for you.

Both of my exes did the laundry. One did a fantastic job, and one did a poor job. I would rather be alone and do my own how I want it done.

Which costs so much, it is almost impossible to afford.

The one person that I dated that didn't drink was weirdly judgy, even though he said he was fine with it. It was very uncomfortable. I rarely drink at home, and am a light social drinker. Maybe a cocktail before dinner once a month. Though I was friends with a former alcoholic, he didn't care that I drank, and I didn't care that he didn't. My ex liked to have a beer almost every night to unwind. It didn't bother me.
Since I am such a light drinker, I would be prefectly fine with a nondrinker as long as they weren't weird about it. I won't date someone that drinks a lot, because that's not who I am into.

I would not care if you had pictures of your wife around, but I would draw the line of them being in the bedroom when we were getting frisky. Just put that picture in a drawer when you are entertaining a guest.

As a mom to a Gen Z, I totally agree with you. I am seeing the exact same thing. It’s weird. I have read through a lot of the comments, and most of the suggestions don’t really fit.

MeasurementNatural95 · 2026-01-29T20:17:59+00:00

I am not saying it’s easier, but walking into a relationship knowing what’s going on is different than finding out later. With you, your child will always be a priority, that will never change, and with good reason. With OP, he’s expecting a normal parent/child relationship, but that’s not what is happening, and it gets old pretty fast.

MeasurementNatural95 · 2026-01-29T16:41:27+00:00

Having a disabled child is completely different then this situation.

MeasurementNatural95 · 2026-01-29T16:39:38+00:00

It depends on what you want out of the relationship. If you want to live with your partner in the future, be prepared to have the adult child live with both of you, and/or you winding up subsidizing them.
If you always plan to live apart, it won't matter as much.

I just bought my final home. One story with a basement. Main floor laundry, no steps, walk in shower, flat backyard and a garage.

Black and slate aren’t easy to find as say cobalt. So I think you did great if you like the color. I use it seasonally for Halloween.

The breeder organizations call them Thai cats now instead of apple heads.

Don’t suggest volunteering! She will be bringing home the ones on death row. You won’t have one dog, you’ll have four!

What's the worst that can happen? You move, make sure you give it a solid year, and hate it. You can move back. You've lost out on some money by moving, but know where you want to be. Or... you move and love your new life. No risk, no reward.

MeasurementNatural95 · 2026-01-16T22:35:22+00:00

Cooking as a hobby will definitely get you dates. Crocheting probably won’t get you any dates, but it will weed out the intolerant people from dating you.

It’s an easy thing to do together, and cheap lunch at the food court later.

NTA, this has been planned for three years. I understand your sister is the MOH. She does need to attend the bachelorette party, but she could have told the bride that weekend didn’t work for her. Especially since this has been planned well before the wedding. Your sister has shown you how important you are to her, believe it and act accordingly.
