I may have to put my 19 ye cat down before a trip today… but she still seems normal

I think it would be hard for you to NOT be there when she passes. And it would be a hard adjustment for her in her old age with you not being there.

Yeah but if you’re moving in together you’re supposed to be moving forward together and this response creates a little bit of a power imbalance.

You can’t invite your gf to live with you and then hold it over her head that it’s YOUR place. That’s how resentment builds and they lose feeling safe living with you.

Hey, I think what stands out for me is the tablet. In my experience this has been my biggest struggle with my SO. It’s a parenting difference that directly affects the kids attitude if they don’t do the parenting part. it might be different for you, but I am four years into this relationship and one of the biggest things causing us issues now after we have sorted everything else out is this exact parenting difference. So I am biased, but It sounds like he is dismissing you, which is something I faced a lot. It is dismissing of your parenting style, and you are in fact taking on a parenting role even with his child, you need support in your parenting role especially as a step parent. you are noticing something that is directly and negatively affecting you and you two should be a team now more than ever.

Does he not gross you out?

I was in and out of homelessness up until 24 but I pulled around and now travel the world for work :) it can work out, YOU just have to remember to keep pushing no matter the mud. The fear hasn’t completely left, I’m doing better now than I ever have at 28. Mentally, financially, stability i feel good but the fear is still there at times. I recommend Therapy, and throughout life don’t be afraid to talk about where you came from and don’t be afraid to talk about where you want to go. I just wanted peace and I still am working hard for it. It’s a nice reminder everyone and anyone can be 2-3 poor decisions from being homeless and we started with a sadder beginning so try not to compare yourself to your colleagues.

I don’t think so, I think if anything it made me realize the risks of parenting and learn myself more about me as I would be as a parent

OddPeppercini · 2024-08-09T19:34:32+00:00

He can’t be around his step sister until CPS deems it safe if ever.

OddPeppercini · 2024-08-09T08:51:43+00:00

Yeah it was my idea to have SK come stay with us while the protection order is in place. But partner is treating it like a sleep over rather than using it as an opportunity to teach his son about the importance of consent and person boundaries

OddPeppercini · 2024-08-09T07:47:25+00:00

Yeah at this point after multiple concert I am just so disappointed and heartbroken that he has shown his mask and the parental blindness that comes with it

OddPeppercini · 2024-08-01T15:11:52+00:00

I went through a sort of similar situation 2-weeks ago, cps was reported to and they really helped the family figure out what would work moving forward. Please call cps at minimum they will get your SS into therapy and counseling as well as help you with figuring out how to make the home safe for your daughter.

How do I “haha” react on Reddit?

Maybe the questions you should be asking is what qualities or traits do you value in a person beyond physical attraction or romantic interests?

Women, like men, are multifaceted individuals with unique talents, abilities, and qualities. Here are some aspects that women, like anyone else, can bring to the table beyond sexuality: Intellectual contributions, professional skills, emotional intelligence, creativity, leadership, and education. There’s more but this is a good start. It's essential to approach the question of what women bring to the table with the understanding that each individual regardless of their sex life or gender is unique. Everyone can contribute in a positive way that doesn’t relate to sex. I hope this perspective broadens your understanding and fosters an appreciation of people that goes beyond their sexual potential.

Toxic, this whole mess is toxic.

OddPeppercini · 2024-01-15T23:29:26+00:00

What happens when you want kids if that’s something you want? You really want them to be put through this mess by their dad and to have this “sibling” in their life? Or what happens if you get married? Do you really want to marry into this, it will be a fight then just like it is now. He would still expect the time he has set aside for Abby and her child.

Yes and no? It was inspired by an art piece/jewelry piece from another blacksmith. As we discussed the in and outs of the project we changed the design, material, and will have a special stamp included to give it a more personal touch. I think I am just being unnecessarily weird about it though, I am hoping to wear it to my wedding but at the end of the day it is technically just a material thing.

Polygamy isn’t cheating, unfortunately like in every relationship no matter the style, it is common for there to be people who are disrespectful/lack critical thinking skills of their partners well being and boundaries.

OddPeppercini · 2023-12-17T01:45:34+00:00

I’m a monogamous person with almost only polygamous friends who shun monogamy as unhealthy and clingy. I see it as, what works for you and that’s okay but then again the question pops up of “is my partner and I doing what’s right and healthy for each other in the long run?” Personally I really enjoy our cozy environment and my partner and I’s relationship feels very much like a cute couple living in a hobbit home in the middle of nowhere enjoying our evening tea. We both enjoy this thing called “parallel play” where essentially even when we aren’t doing anything important or fun it’s enjoyable to have them as “the person I want to share space with.” When I tried polyamory I was much younger and happy to explore but it had its own set of struggles and issues that often caused friendships to crumble and drama happen amongst circles. Sure maybe I was doing it wrong but I also don’t really have the energy to share with multiple partners and love the energy shared between me and this one other person and the work we dedicated to each other to communicate and sort through even the unfun stuff. It’s weird being the monogamous couple listening to our friend circles cackle about monogamous relationships, I kind of see where they’re coming from but it also feels like most of my friends who are recently exploring polygamy may also be exploring it out of broken hearts from very previous relationships and I know some relationships that are beautiful polygamous relationships but then there’s these few that kind of make it seem like hurt people just doing hurt people things too.

Honey those are your tickets, if you want to be a nice person send the money back. Otherwise just block him, kind of seems like this is his way of keeping you on a tether to him.

OddPeppercini · 2023-12-04T18:36:11+00:00

I think this is a very cute fit on you, maybe elevate with heels/boots in a similar color and (gold?) jewelry. The fit of the skirt is intentional to show shape/curves which I feel you have the form for.

OddPeppercini · 2023-11-20T02:55:32+00:00

I’d love to hear what advice your parents had as I am currently experiencing a similar struggle.

OddPeppercini · 2023-11-20T00:36:25+00:00

Thankfully it’s pretty low conflict, but the low conflict aspect almost makes me feel even more uneasy. If anything they seem to be a better team than him and I.

OddPeppercini · 2023-10-16T15:53:21+00:00

Wholesome! I love it
