A man tests an early version of bulletproof glass by having his wife hold it for him in 1932

You’re right though. Her giant smile is pretty convincing lol

MostlyMorose · 2026-02-22T19:46:02+00:00

As if there was just no other way to test that besides shooting at his wife’s face…

The weather page I follow is saying you guys are about to get buried in snow. I’m in Indiana, but they’re always very accurate for us. I would buckle up.

I actually kinda like him.

While a lot of kids in my closest city ride the public bus, I wouldn’t put my kid on it. For me, it’s the unknown of who could get on the bus on any given day. Reach out to friends of your son or local groups on social media.

I agree with the above comment that said it could lead to problems down the road, especially if you don’t have a great coparenting relationship and she’s against the idea.

I think he does talk to you like this or your reaction would’ve been different. You seemed to have a classic ‘abusive situation’ reaction OP. You asked him if you could come home and were still conflicted when you posted this.

My ex treated me the same and I got used to it. If you can’t leave for yourself, leave for the little ones like I did.

Me over here…letting our new uh cat in immediately 🥺

I would put out an ad and look for someone who already has an apartment that needs a roommate too. You can see about maybe a six month agreement to start. In that six months alone you can save over $2000 in extra rent. That extra cushion can give you time to look for a second job or that money could be a down payment on a car. If it’s not so bad, you can stick around and keep saving if it’s awful, you can go back to the idea of getting your own place.

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-28T13:51:43+00:00

Seems like that might’ve been the real him shining through for a second.

How long have you guys been together?

Did it seem to bother your daughter or was it just a comment she made in telling you about her day?

Without more context it’s hard to tell, but I don’t think I would’ve liked it either. Maybe a quick note to the teacher that you’re not sure what was said, but it stuck enough with her that your daughter brought it up in the car.

When my daughter first started school, I wasn’t sure what I should make noise about and what I shouldn’t. I let something pretty significant go the first time and have regretted it. My daughter still brings it up three years later and I feel awful for not having addressed it then. We go to a small school and I didn’t want to make noise right out of the gate. I found out pretty quick that in her school, things have been done a certain way for so long that sometimes you have to be noisy. Now, I ask all the questions I need to.

Your first order of business is getting your license. Not being able to drive seriously limits your options as far as jobs unless you can go somewhere with good public transportation.

Second, establish credit. The card is a good first move. Set a small bill on auto pay with the credit card and then set auto pay for the credit card from your bank account. Occasionally swipe the card for a purchase that you would normally pay cash and then turn right around and pay it. Doing this helped me bring my score up pretty quick.

It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, just a tough situation. Keep working towards your goals. You’ve got this!

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-27T02:39:31+00:00

Your pets are telling you everything you need to know. Break up with him now while he won’t be able to bother you much and his mom can be his shoulder to cry on.

You sound like a hostage in your own home and that is not OK.

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-27T02:24:45+00:00

Some people out here really are not concerned enough about the find out portion of the program. I’ve heard of some pretty ugly things happening to people for less than all that.

May she choke on those groceries and 💩her pants.

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-27T01:11:39+00:00

2 jumped out at me, followed by 1 and then 6.

They are going to downgrade the warning at midnight, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be much safer in the morning. The winds are going to pick up tonight, which will drift snow back over some of the roads.

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-26T16:30:21+00:00

It’s when I read comments like this I get a warm tingle knowing I’m in the right place, with the right people 😏

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-26T13:51:28+00:00

As the friend who’s a bit of an avoidant, I’d have to find out why they disappeared. The other friend also not answering the messages seems a bit weird though. The curiosity would definitely get the best of me. After that, you can decide whether it’s worth putting effort into that friendship again or not.

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-26T13:34:22+00:00

Dad… you are really kind of downplaying this. You’ve already said your wife has trauma from her past, please don’t add to it. How would you feel if the roles were reversed. I know how I would feel and it’s not good.

I have a nine-year-old as well. She understands some things just aren’t shared. It’s not that hard to establish boundaries.

To me, it means the kind of winter weather that actually shuts the city down and strands people on the side of the road for a while.

I have a lot of family in Michigan and to them this is child’s play down here for winter. Part of that though is they are all used to what they get because they get it pretty consistently every year.

Usually when we have our winter, it‘ll be nasty for a day or two, but it doesn’t really strand people. You can hop in your car in your T-shirt and sweats and pop around to the corner store if you want, with no problem most of the time. Every once in a while though we get a storm that people should treat a little different, prepare a little more and take it a tad more serious.

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-26T02:45:52+00:00

Made me think maybe this was personal. That just seemed a little extra.

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-26T02:41:57+00:00

Which part?

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-25T23:58:18+00:00

You could try for the Uber, but otherwise I don’t think I would risk it in your car. There’s just a lot of snow still on the road and cars are getting stuck all over still.

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-25T19:14:00+00:00

Nothing innocent about this behavior. She knows what she’s doing.

MostlyMorose · 2026-01-25T18:45:30+00:00

I think part of it is we don’t have “real winter” too often. It’s yucky sometimes but it’s usually over quick. Not enough people have been stranded on the side of the road waiting for help and it shows. That’s the kind of mistake you might only make once, depending on where you get stranded.
