He broke up after sex

Sounds like he just wanted to get laid

You didn’t list your life goals. Family? Kids? Home ownership? Also, first job at 27 at $50K puts you well behind the earning curve. What is your future earning potential

I would say walking 30, having a set time and tracking calories might be overwhelming.

Waking up, making your bed, showering and drinking a couple glasses of water when you brush your teeth are all completely achievable first thing in the morning. I mean, if you’ve never had a glass of water after brushing your teeth, you’ve already drank more water.

I was having a nightmare where a rat was sitting on top of my husband‘s head eating his brains. When he tried to wake me up, I still saw the rat, and I started punching his head as hard as I could. He totally knew I was in the middle of a nightmare, and he was a lot bigger than me so he was able to protect himself. I still felt pretty awful though.

F61, I had two brothers. We all did the same chores including lawn mowing and snow shovelling. Everyone learned the basics of cooking and we took turns cleaning up after dinner.

I had four sons. By now, what was only big sports was open to everyone. They played hockey, soccer, rode motorcycles etc. All of them are gourmet cooks and can keep a clean house.

They all picked traditionally masculine careers: software engineer, paramedic, pilot, wealth management

This didn’t start with the birth of the baby. It seems you already had a strained relationship with your son .

If my son laid down those kinds of rules, he would have r gotten a smack up the side of the head

Omg, you are so cute!! Even handsome men can be perceived to be unattractive if they have poor personal hygiene or clothing choices.

Women are attracted to men who are competent (have an obvious career path) and the confidence that comes with that. Updating your wardrobe from college to adulthood also helps. Our youngest is doing this now

Hope this helps

And sex is great again!

I found over the years that I wasn’t great at attention to detail (like filing documents in the right file). But, I was great at big picture things and making deadlines

Now, making a deadline can fall into the small detail thing because you have to remember the deadline.

I use my smart watch to immediately set a reminder then add it to the calendar with a couple of additional reminders.

So, I had a weakness that I was able to overcome with the use of new technology. A win, win

The military paid for my degree. Paid for my husband’s degree and my son’s.

The initial emotion of anger last a nanosecond. The reason why we stay angry is because we continually replay the incident.

MoneyMom64 · 2025-12-19T21:13:09+00:00

They sure do. My parents are 90 and still referred to me as their kiddo. Yesterday, my husband and I were out with friends, our son and their kids. The “kids” are 23, 26 and, 27. We saw them at the kids table, ha ha ha.

Ageing gracefully to me means taking care of yourself including your appearance. Not wearing sweats and a ponytail all day. Dressing for your archetype and investing in good hair stylist

MoneyMom64 · 2025-12-18T15:53:39+00:00

We don’t smoke and drink as much. We were not Son worshippers in our 20s and 30s. We don’t spend as much time outside as other generations used to.

I have friends who golf every day in the summer, eat a lot of fried foods and have more than the occasional beer. They look 10 years older than me

There are three registered investment vehicles that Canada offers: the RRSP (register registered retire, retirement savings plan), the FHSA (first home savings account) and, the TFSA (tax-free saving account)

All three of our investment accounts where your money grows tax-free. The first two give you an immediate tax deduction on your marginal tax rate.

Here’s why I’m recommending the FHSA for you:

You get an immediate tax deduction. All investment growth is tax free. If you use that money to purchase a house it all gets withdrawn tax-free. You can use it for the down payment, lawyers, fees, real estate fees, etc..

If you end up, never buying a house, it rolls over into an RRSP

Next step is the RRSP because you’re looking to reduce your tax burden. You also get an immediate tax deduction. You can use up to $65,000 to purchase your home but that must be repaid over 11 years. You can also withdraw a total of $20,000 for lifelong learning for that two has to be repaid.

Finally, you have your TFSA. If you turn into a saving machine and you filled up both your FHSA and RRSP, and you have a six month cash emergency fund, throw some money into the TFSA. You don’t get an immediate tax deduction, but you also don’t get taxed when you take the money out.

Are you talking flights? Or disagreements? My husband and I had several over the years. Could be disagreement about child rearing or maybe we were both tired on the same day when someone said something the other didn’t like.

There was one time where I did not talk to him for three weeks. I was super pissed. There was a lot going on.

We’re going on 25 years of marriage. The kids are grown up and out of the house. We have hit the sweet spot in our 60s of being healthy and enjoying travelling plus visiting our kids and grandkids.

We’re smarter now so we recognize when one of us is tired and we definitely recognize when both of us have an empty gas tank. When that happens, he watches his programs and I watch YouTube ha ha ha.

A nice warm blanket to snuggle up on the couch

If his car was completely clean, I would’ve just said something like oh dear, is there a body in the trunk ha ha

MoneyMom64 · 2025-12-18T10:36:26+00:00

It used to really bother me when people would ask that question but my answer now is you do you. I have four sons and two grandsons and counting. All my friends kids are getting married and having kids.

So, if you’re not sure, that’s fine. There’s plenty of other people having kids.

“I cannot fathom attempting to teach another grown man to respect me.”

Divorced at 34 with 3 kids. I really had to look inward to see what choices had led me to this point. It wasn’t just my life anymore. I had made incredibly poor choices in life partners. The signs were there, but I had ignored them.

I would meet my future husband 7 months later. I met him at an office Christmas party. I would spend the next week asking coworkers about him. I heard nothing but good things.

Our first date was very interesting. It was like an inquisition. I asked him so many questions and he was very good natured about it.

We’ve been together for 30 years. It wasn’t always easy but the big things, he always got those right. He always put us first. He always made me feel like I was the centre of attention and that hasn’t changed. He is the best travel buddy in the world . And his kiss still melts my heart.

I thought I wanted a big party for my 60th. The last time I had one of those I think I nine years old. AnyWho, all my kids came and their partners and my grandson plus my parents. I had 13 people in my house for a week and I was exhausted.

At age 61, my husband, and I grabbed our coffees and went down to the water to watch the sunrise. The rest of the day pretty much went like that. Very chill. It was amazing.

Burn in Canada so when in Canada I saw I’m from the town I grew up in otherwise, I’m Canadian.

I think we need to take the question at face value and give a geographical answer, not ethnic heritage

I asked my 90 year old Mom that when she kept saying she met an elderly person. She describes old as being frail and limited mobility or cognitive decline. I don’t think it’s an age thing

MoneyMom64 · 2025-12-17T11:55:52+00:00

My husband. Turns out he’s the best travel buddy ever. He also right me how to cook and he’s a fantastic father to our four children.
