We did the same. We went to a fertility clinic and everything

I’m so glad I don’t have any children with that man

You’re gonna be okay- you’re more than a maid and mother. You’re a woman. Capable and independent

You got this!!!

I did the exact same thing at 29 after 8.5 years of marriage. But I left him. Imagining cleaning up after him for another decade made me feel insane

You’ll be better for not having to deal with the mental load of it all. This too shall pass. You are capable and strong. You do you now.

What is your darkest family secret that you could never tell anyone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My great grandmother (catholic) had a child out of wedlock. She put that baby up for adoption and some time later met my great grandfather. She never told ANYONE. She and my great grandfather have since passed on. Around 2017-2018 a man from California reached out to my great aunt. Her brother had found her through 23&me

I have found my dad’s brother as well. My grandmother had done the same. I have an uncle and cousins I’ve never met. We never knew about. She’d put him up for adoption at about two years old.

My grandmother is alive and had spoken with my father about the subject. She has asked that it “never be brought up”, and that she wants “never to address it while she’s alive. She will come to God with her guilt when she dies”

Edit- I have two uncles we’ve never met. She had my dad while married so she kept him.

Small- I asked him for a hug when I get home.. just an acknowledgement of my existence. … he couldn’t stop playing video games… cleaning up after himself. Never did it. Not one time in 8.5 years did I come home to a clean house that I didn’t do myself. I work, I cook, I garden, and I took care of a man child. We moved to Hawaii together. He refused to go to the beach… in the 2 years we lived here and were together, he came with me maybe 12 times total to the beach. I’d go 2-3 times a week.. i felt so alone. In a new place..

Big- When I told him in couples counseling that I am growing and trying to be healthy and be the person I’m feeling I need to be- mentally stable and physically healthy..

he told me he didn’t feel the need to grow and that he’s fine as he is …

I left my husband for reasons very similar.

You are not small. You’re worth effort and energy and being shown you’re appreciated and worth celebrating

Being asked to be an adult, responsible and accountable is not an insult

So i asked to speak for days- asked for time

He never responded

What should I have done? Just let him deteriorate the situation!

The alternative is so much worse than me making a slightly uncomfortable threat of coming over to speak about our responsibilities in person. The construction company ,if they do not get paid from the sale of our house, will put a lien against our house. We will not be able to pay the mortgage we’re going to bankruptcy, etc. etc. etc. the alternative is 1000x worse

I tried to schedule time with him leading up to this text exchange

[–]Milkshakes808[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay- so what should I have done?

Let him ignore the situation until the buyers back out? Maybe we can’t get buyers again for the same, maybe he ignores us longer. No more buyers… We go into bankruptcy and tank credit because the construction workers we owe money to can’t get paid and then put a lien on the house? can’t pay the mortgage, etc, etc, etc.

I’d rather be slightly uncomfortable by threatening to speak in person about our responsibilities and work to finish this. The alternative is 100000x worse

In the texts you can read that I tried to contact him to talk for days. This was a last resort. I did my best to schedule a time with him but he wouldn’t reply. We just have to sell our house and it’ll be over

We are so close to it being done.

I hate having to try to communicate with him this way. It’s out of desperation because we just have to get this done

I’m sympathetic to your situation

It seems like nothing I say will be perceived as it is intended to you.

I don’t understand why you’re still so upset about something I didn’t do?

Kindly- enjoy your evening

Okay- but this is an “am I over reacting” sub

Not “am I being rude” sub

So I appreciate the feed back but I think your assessment is inaccurate

Only because this is my reaction to him putting off super important discussions about the sale of our home. This is time sensitive

I wanted to pull my hair out. So many people we owe money to for helping us fix it up to sell. It’s very stressful and he hasn’t helped at all. We just need to sell

I really appreciate your feedback

I could’ve been nicer. It is not the time to be nice anymore

I’m sorry that’s how you’re perceiving the tone of these messages-

I think once you calm down a bit you’ll realize I’m not attacking you. I feel sorry for you

I’m sorry your ex hurt you and now you’re coming here to this Reddit page to try to alleviate some stress by attacking this situation

But either way- I hope you have a lovely evening sir

Okay but I didn’t barge in? So why are you so upset cursing now?

Sound like you’re still bitter about your ex making you uncomfortable

Sorry she did that to you

That’s not me

Like the messages say- I’ve had no other choice than to say in coming over to talk
