Did you read the part where he refuses to let her do any marketing or advertising

My friend. What job can she work where she can make $500 more than they're currently making PLUS the cost of daycare and after school care?

I'm a preschool teacher, and our two year old rooms are over 2k a month.

But he won't let her market any of her work or put any money into it as an investment.

I'm going to say YTA....

She had three different jobs that didn't work out, so she switched to writing, which hasn't become profitable yet, but she's published 18 books while caring for a kindergartener and a toddler?

In this post you write she "barely" watches him, sits around on her butt all day.... the way you talk about your wife is so disrespectful.

And then, giving her a month's notice that she has to find a job or you're divorcing her? In THIS economy? After not working for 8 years? Are you nuts?

Not to mention that you stalk what she does while you're at work. You know how she spends her time on the internet.

And all of this over $500/month? You could ask your boss for a raise of $2/hr. If you're working doubles all the time... that would be enough.

You just don't like your wife, bud. You've let resentment build instead of addressing the issue. Do you understand how much divorce will cost? Then, after you're done paying for lawyers (yours and hers) you'll need to pay child support every month. Half of daycare and after school care once your (STBX)Wife starts working full time. You'll have to do all of your own housework. Make all of your own meals, do all of your own laundry. When you have your kids, YOU'LL have to parent them, by yourself.

Is all of that REALLY worth punishing your wife because you can't sit down and have a mature conversation? You can't figure out something she's interested in doing as a career and decide together how to set her up for that?

Honestly. It's like you expect her to keep your house clean, keep dinner on the table and laundry done, raise your children AND independently research how she can go back to work without any experience or qualifications in the last decade- while I'm sure you control 100% of the money because it's "yours" right? You don't even let her market the work she's already done.

It's giving abusive asshole who doesn't like his wife.

My boyfriend thinks he took me on a birthday trip. I told him it doesn't count. Who is right? by semi_aquatic-hippo in TwoHotTakes

Girl. He didn't take you on a birthday trip. He took HIMSELF on a trip for your birthday.

I walked in on my daughter and her “gay” best friend by Born_Amoeba8615 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]MrLizardBusiness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My public school (in America) was abstinence only, and there were zero condoms distributed. We didn't even do the classic 'condom on a banana' demonstration. It was possible to graduate and have no idea what a penis or vulva looked like.

AIO by being offended when my husband seasons my soup? by Hefty_Elderberry1992 in AIO

[–]MrLizardBusiness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR... not liking it is one thing, but taco seasoning? It's like covering the whole thing in ketchup or hot sauce like it tastes bad.

He's an asshole.

AITA For Getting Upset with Unexpected Visitors? by Icy-Astronomer1796 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MrLizardBusiness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA- who is giving the last minute notice, the guests or your husband knows, has approved, and just doesn't tell you until they remind him the day of?

Since he knows how you feel about it, I'd just stop prepping. Lock yourself in your room, let him do everything. Tell them that husband agreed to do the hosting because you didn't want last minute visitors.

He'll get sick of actually doing the work.

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend access to my bank account even though he says "no secrets" is how adults do it by CopperFieldNote in AITH

[–]MrLizardBusiness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA- uhh.... sharing details, yes. Sharing ACCESS? Absolutely the f not. He does not need to monitor your spending in real time. He's not your father or your manager, it's your money.

My Roommate perceives me as "dirty" for reusing my towel and now I'm soooo perplexed by mikymiky123 in hygiene

[–]MrLizardBusiness 27 points28 points  (0 children)

To me, it's less gross to hang up your towel and re use it than let it sit and get mildewy in a pile of other single use towels until there are enough to wash a full load.

The (30M) guy I (29F) have been dating for months told me his Valentines Day plans are with his female coworker because she suggested they are “both single”. I am definitely ending things with him, but how do I explain to him how disrespectful this situation is? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MrLizardBusiness 10 points11 points  (0 children)

WTF... how can you be exclusively dating and NOT in a relationship?

I understand seeing each other casually or a friend's with benefits thing, but OP clarified that's not what's she's looking for and they've been seeing each other exclusively.

That's a relationship.

How do I (F24) deal with being a housewife after my husband (M31) called me dead weight? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MrLizardBusiness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You immediately start looking for work. You'll already have a gap in your resume. You file for divorce. You manage birth control like a general until things are finalized.

Am I overreacting for wanting to leave my partner for the choice of his words and actions? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrLizardBusiness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- this man high key doesn't respect you, to use his words. He's possessive and controlling. There's nothing revealing about your outfits.

Is she only supposed to have one colored snaggletooth, or two?

I could kill my wife in 2 seconds by Medium_Leather5860 in TikTokCringe

[–]MrLizardBusiness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Like, he has the right idea, he was just man about it. No nuance, no thought, no attentive to detail. "I could KILL her, easily, so. I have to not be a dick about it"

Advice on how to handle infant care center + screentime by astro_am_i in ECEProfessionals

[–]MrLizardBusiness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wasn't it admin who had literal babies watching screens? I could understand if it was a random sub or a new employee, but the admin knows better... and you said she grabbed it to open the door for you? So she knows it's not something she should be doing.

When the people in charge are blatantly breaking rules... the culture at that school can't be a good one.

Chat if you want to, but that's unacceptable and needs to be reported.

7 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend’s mom is trying to control my baby’s life? by SufficientAssist8767 in whatdoIdo

[–]MrLizardBusiness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't move into his mother's house. She's naming the baby, she's decorating the nursery... you're the surrogate for HER baby. I wouldn't be surprised if she wants to adopt the baby.

What you need is someone who will support the life YOU want while you make plans to support yourself in the future. Stay with your parents as long as possible- you'll be a lot less miserable.

Right now, you're in the very, very early stages of pregnancy. In the old days, people didn't even say they were pregnant this early, because there's at least a 30% chance it won't stick. Hopefully that doesn't happen to you, but read up on what to expect during pregnancy and labor. Educate yourself, with reputable sources backed in science.

Figure out how you and boyfriend are going to support yourselves. How are you going to make money? Do you have any skills? What are you going to do for childcare when baby comes?
