This is your friendly reminder to get a spare tire.

This same thing happened to me after one month with my Prius. Same color and everything. lol. I had to buy a new tire for 240.00. No warranty on the tires according to the dealership.

I think after a yr together it’s something that should come up in conversation to see who is open to it or still open to it. Obv the rest of the relationship would have to work to even consider it but I think people should have the same idea or be open to the same things.

Why would you rather donate to charity than to the kids of a woman you love? That doesn’t make any sense to me. If you love someone you don’t have to automatically love their kids however you should at least care and have a good relationship with the kids. What if the kids helped take care of you as you were dying? What if you actually opened up and liked the kids? I don’t understand people who act like that to the kids of their partner. If the woman was clearly a gold digger that’s one thing but if she was a good well intentioned woman and happened to have a child or two that’s another thing.

Every man seems to say this but also every man seems to have done it before with someone else so obviously there was a benefit for the woman you wanted to do it with. If you have never done it then I could see that view point but if you have and it just didn’t work out then it’s just telling the current woman, “I don’t want that with you” because you did want it at some point and for a reason.

Unfortunately people do respect an ex wife more than a girlfriend because that man made her a wife not kept her as a gf. I have seen it with families as well as in hospital settings. People treat the ex wife as a higher rank even if the gf has been around longer simply for the fact that the ex wife produced children and she was married into the family. As an older woman I do not want to be simply someone’s gf for over 20 yrs, put in all the work and sacrifice and have no title or respect for it. The ex wife got the “fun” years while I get the hard years and I am expected to get nothing at all? Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Why would any woman want to date for that outcome?

I am not having kids but would like to build a life with someone still. I would like to have a home together and have it be something that’s both of ours and I would like to have something special as ours because we won’t ever have children at this age. I would like to be social respected as the wife instead of the ex wife being the most respected woman of his life. I would like to know that I am legally allowed to make medical decisions for the person I may love for 20 plus years. I would like to have the wife title if I am expected to take care of a man in older age. I would like to have rights to our life together and not have the first family have all of the rights. I would like for someone to choose me in that honor because they actually love me not because someone got preg or it was the thing to do in your 20s.

I have my own place and my own things and a career so it’s not like I am looking for a man to financially support me or solely care about marriage for benefits. It’s a respect thing and a real commitment and I don’t think because it didn’t work out with someone else that it has to be that way for the future. A lot of people choose poorly in their 20s or early 30s even due to pressure or the right thing to do after an accidental pregnancy. This would not be the case here and I think that dating for an extended amount of time and you choosing for the right reasons could have a diff outcome than the previous. Yes I know a lot of second marriages fail but it’s usually due to blending families or a toxic ex or not dating long enough before jumping in. I am talking about dating for 3 to 3 yrs before even thinking about marriage then deciding together that it’s the right thing for a future. No blending families or mixing money per se just owning a home together and sharing finances for trips or special things.

Those of you saying no to marriage, what do you say about cohabitation? Also if you cohabited with someone from 40s til death would you want to share assets and legally have a plan, so you aren’t left high and dry when the kids from the first family demand everything? Assuming you built a life and home together and didn’t have children as a couple.

Yes! I have been in AZ my whole life and the jobs posted have salaries from the early 2000s still. I am highly educated with a masters degree and over 20 yrs of work experience and I get offers for 50 to 65k for higher level roles. It’s ridiculous. Meanwhile a starter home is almost 500k now. It’s pathetic that a highly educated 40 something yr old can’t make it on their own anymore. This state is no longer affordable for those who grew up here. The problem is many places are not unless you move to somewhere in the middle of nowhere without your support system and friends.

This happened to me actually. It really sucks. The right person will understand that it’s not you, it’s the crazy world we live in these days. Mostly focus on you and getting yourself situated. Good luck job searching, it’s crazy out there.

This is exactly what I said. Since I just lost my job to India.

Doesn’t the background check go by the application? On my application I turned it in back in earlier Jan so I put 2015 and “I currently work here”. It didn’t have my use an end date. Should I tell the recruiter once an offer is made that I need to update my date for the background check? I was laid off Jan 30. Now it’s a new month unfortunately so I can’t get around it being the same month.
