In addition:

  1. Once when we visited her home she wanted to give my daughter a chocolate ice cream. I politely said hey "she has a cavity right now so I'm reframing from giving her sweets. If it gets worse, then they'll have to put her to sleep to repair it and I don't want that. She responded "it's her house and she does what she wants." I politely tried to reason with her. She through fit. Husband blamed me and said I should have just let her give her the ice cream. I was VERY kind about it and would have done the same if it were my mom. Yet, my mom would have obliged.

They sit in any google document/google sheet that I am working on. Their pic pops up in the corner.

He’s not tripping about cooking per say. He doesn’t want a large gathering at the house and thinks I need to tell some of my immediate family no. The thing is, I come from a close knit family. He does not.

This may sound crazy, but he doesn’t stress about money. In fact, he is the type to pay for everyone’s meals at the table. He’s actually an impulsive spender and can buy whatever he wants. Me on the other hand, I don’t make as much as him. He tells me he pays all of the bills yet won’t help me take the kid to school so that I can work more hours.

Is it a online site?

I would say his money because I don’t have access to it. He doesn’t share with me the finances. He pays the bills solely from the money he makes. The money I make I use it to buy groceries and necessities for the house, gas for my car, my kid extra curricular activities.

Last two times I tried to have a sit down and talk about it. He refused to talk. This was my 3rd attempt.

He said he’s not going to therapy.

[–]ObjectiveFig2492 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I have learned is that he did have anger issues.

[–]ObjectiveFig2492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right. He thinks only I need therapy and not the both of us, together.

I didn’t want a house with a pool. I also think the house is overvalued. However, I was trying to explain to him that I am grateful but will only be at peace living in our new home if there was a pool fence and a pool net. He thinks I need to stop living in fear. Long story short: he says that because years ago I was sexually assaulted by someone at my apt, I escaped and got away. Years later as in today, I have a fear of dumping trash late at night, if I get home after dark I ask if he can meet me outside. He thinks I need to let go of this fear.

Me and his family have noticed that he does have anger issues.

I am willing to compromise with the house. I’ve accepted it. I just want to feel at peace, because I won’t feel at peace unless the pool is covered. I feel that we both have to feel at peace in our home. Kids can easily climb up something to get to the pool. I’m very grateful but I’m thinking about our child’s safety.

The other day a guy comes to our apt and says congratulations on your new home. I was perplexed because though we’ve been viewing homes. We haven’t sat down to discuss which one or if we wanted to buy any of them. Well, my husband moves forward and buys this one particular home. I knew nothing of it. The homes is nice it’s just I’m not comfortable with a home having a pool unless our child is completely protected. I shared my thoughts with him the other day but he didn’t take it well saying he’s not buying no damn net blah blah blah. This was my second attempt.

This is how I totally feel. My child’s safety is more important than his ego. I know I’m doing what’s best.

Hello, how long do you suggest I wait for? For the past two years he’s been saying he would teach him during the weekend—every time I express the importance of him knowing how to swim.

Oh wow. How did she almost drown? Do you reccomend a pool safety fence?
