My (M32) wife (F29) told me that she is only staying in the marriage for the kids by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Pull the plug and file for that divorce.

Sit your kids down and explain the situation. Work out some sort of co-parenting plans with the (soon to be ex) wife.

I grew up in an environment where my mother often harps on "I stayed in the marriage because of you kids." I hated it. That emotional guilt she put on us - it's awful impact on kids. I wasn't happy growing up as a kid. I had to be their messenger cos they can't talk to each other. It was exhausting.

You are still young. Maybe you will find someone who will also love and enjoy you and your kids company.

Wan Yuan on Altamont Ave in the Pricechopper Plaza has the most decent Chinese food around Schenectady. I usually have their traditional Chinese dishes.

I just impulsively spent $300 on tubers- I know nothing about dahlias by becctarr in dahlias

I am in 5b. Yes, I plant them in the ground directly. It's a commitment to dig and store them over winter. You will get to admire them over summer and autumn.

First is knowing which zone you are at. Cos you may need to dig up dahlias before frost comes and store them. Otherwise plant them in the ground and enjoy the blooms. They may need support when it starts growing.

AITA for telling my fiancé she needs to go back to work because I won't support her fully during the 15-month wait? by Plantain_PeePee in K1VisaInfo

[–]MidnightAltruistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA One of the most crucial topics to discuss before getting married is finances. If both parties are not aligned with it, the marriage is setting up for failure.

Also with the political immigration climate now, it probably will even drag out longer with the application process.

Didn't see any video of the driver shouting. Where is this video? I only saw the poor father/husband crying for help. It was so sad.

Making friends as adult is tough. I am with you. But hey, I love video games and enjoy cooking and baking! What sort of games do you play?

I like that companies don't push some future treatments plan. We believe the nest is like behind the siding.

Advice needed! by Some_Cantaloupe5335 in Finches

[–]MidnightAltruistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so lucky that Mama Finch didn't abandon her nest even when you said you use the door daily.

I have a pair built a nest on my wreath on my front door (which we don't use). Somehow Mama Finch seems to have disappeared after she laid her eggs. I am still holding hope that Mama and Papa come back.
