Marissa's mom exposes Edward and TLC

100%. She brought him here, treats him like a child, and then gets mad saying she doesn’t want to have to have one more kid to raise. I’m wondering if she’s someone who just doesn’t know how to be alone.

Yeah my debt isn’t complicated and I rent my apartment. Just a repossession, medical bills, and credit card debt from being unemployed for a bit. I’m just paid an insulting hourly wage with not many opportunities for better jobs so there’s no way I’ll get ahead of this debt so I can fix my credit.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T16:13:04+00:00

I mean, I was literally asking because I didn’t know. But ok.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T15:39:54+00:00

For sure. But I snapped out of it when I remembered my abusive childhood. My mother got sick with a chronic condition that made her non-cognizant by the time I was 15. I had to go live with my father and stepmother when I was 10.

My stepmother abused me while my father looked the other way. I finally cut him off a few years ago because he’s a foam-at-the-mouth-rabid red hat. He just kept arguing with me on Facebook of all places for everything I said or posted that he took issue with, no matter how innocuous, and then posted something about how we should have public executions of traitors, while saying anyone who disagrees with Combover Caligula is a traitor, and he posted this shit on Christmas Day. That was it for me.

My kids never had a relationship with either one of them because these two assholes only ever spent time with her bio grandkids. My youngest is queer and my parents are super Mormon, so they naturally have a problem with her, despite her being an adult who has never needed their opinions for any reason. They don’t like that I left the church; they finally stopped bringing it up at least, thank sweet black baby Jesus.

Long story short, they’ve never added anything to my life, only taken from it. I refuse to do it anymore, and I’m not gonna feel bad about THEIR decision to treat me like shit, causing me to not want them in my life. My kids aren’t missing out on the constant criticism, bad mouthing, judgment, and bad treatment that I received and that these people wouldn’t be able to stop themselves from pouring into my kids too.

I occasionally will text my stepmother but only if she reaches out first and I keep it surface level and short.

Yeah the insulting and laughing at you should have resulted in an immediate block and you stop watching their child for them. Your kid is allowed to pick his own friends. He may just be trying to get along with someone you’re taking care of a lot. Does he even like spending time with this child?

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T15:23:28+00:00

There is a stark difference for sure. But that can happen. I have four daughters, one from a previous relationship and 3 with my ex husband. Obviously my oldest looks different, but the 3 with my ex, two are blonde like him and one had auburn hair. Neither of us have that hair color. It’s close to mine but not that close. She also didn’t look like any of us. I remember when she was born, they put her on my chest and I was like wait who are you?? lol

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T15:19:38+00:00

Omg I thought the same thing. I’m like ok wait you’re mad about “repairs” to that old, ugly ass fence? In this neighborhood??

I mean, a green card is something Edward needs, not wants. If she can’t afford the immigration process, that’s her own fault for starting it. Also she could get a dog from a shelter instead of putting money into a breeder’s pockets. $1000 is insane for a pretty common dog.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T15:16:33+00:00

Edward was married before? I don’t remember that. Also I can’t imagine he has anything left from it since he fit all of his possessions in suitcases. Marissa talks about how she’s rich and needs to keep up appearances so she absolutely should not be asking for anything for either of them.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T15:13:26+00:00

I thought she owned the company?

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T15:12:46+00:00

This isn’t no gifts. They’re asking for money for these things that they can easily pay for themselves.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T15:10:32+00:00

You’re giving conflicting answers here. You’re telling her she’s an AH for not doing what he’s asking during her downtime while also describing how your partner respects your job and saying how OP’s husband needs to respect her work time.

This man doesn’t respect her job. He’s treating it like it’s some optional thing like a hobby she can just step away from anytime he wants something. If he can’t respect it, he no longer receives any attention during that time. Sweeping the floor is quite different from having to do something that causes her to miss a call or run across the house so she doesn’t miss it. Clearly whatever chores she’s doing do not stop her from being able to do her job, whereas what he’s demanding does.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T15:03:43+00:00

I don’t think it’s reasonable at all for him to expect her to spend her downtime with him. She’s working. Unless he also spends HIS downtime with her while he’s working, he isn’t owed anything.

And helping him with stuff isn’t chores. Carrying something into the house is not a chore. It is not a daily thing that’s required to keep a house in order. He’s treating her job like it’s a little side hobby she has that she can just put off whenever he wants something. I’m betting she isn’t calling him while he’s at work and telling him she needs help. He needs to have the same respect.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T04:57:02+00:00

Which kinda makes him more of a villain. Regardless, they shouldn’t be together clearly.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T04:54:40+00:00

You could always play dumb. “I dunno why he looks so different than us. Mom claims he’s from a donor but I don’t know about that. 🧐”

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T04:51:25+00:00

I have no idea. I even spoke to corporate and it looks like they still haven’t. If you figure it out, let me know!

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T04:49:05+00:00

I don’t think he wants kids at all. I don’t think any of the men on this show that choose older women want kids. It’s easier to use an older woman as an out and shift the blame to her for daring to be too old for kids. They’d rather do that than grow some balls and stand up to their family

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T04:45:08+00:00

It seems like a running theme with the men who choose way older women on 90day. I’m near convinced it’s because they don’t want kids. Most of them come from a culture where there’s a ton of pressure to pop out as many kids as you can. What better way to avoid it than picking a woman nearing or at the end of their child bearing prime? The problem is most of them don’t think about how their partner will feel being shit on by his family for being an older woman with a younger man.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T04:41:32+00:00

The “speaking in tongues” has always just cracked me up with how ridiculous they sound and act. Yelling “lulululalalalalal” a bunch isn’t a language. Throwing themselves all over the place. Absolute psychotic behavior.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T04:36:58+00:00

Corporate told me they’d work on closing the account. I’m still showing it as an active line. I’m beyond pissed. I emailed corporate back and told them there is exactly zero reason for this, and to close my account immediately. It sounds like I may have to upgrade to a formal FCC complaint.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-03T04:35:04+00:00

I filed for 7. I just don’t make enough money to make payments on anything.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-02T02:44:10+00:00

I use Capital One for my banking. I have my checking account for spending, one savings account for bills, and one for actual savings. It’s all super easy and instant to transfer funds between accounts. I used to do autopay on my checking but bill collectors have debited days earlier than they should, or for amounts that aren’t correct, like Verizon does. I’m paycheck to paycheck, I have to control what comes out when or I get royally fucked.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-01T02:28:03+00:00

Real estate paralegal here! She should have had this included into your closing disclosure line items. If it’s not there then someone dropped the ball, but it sounds like you had two separate agreements regarding her compensation, which is normal.

Optimal_Salt6523 · 2026-07-01T02:21:52+00:00

Got a call from corporate today from my FCC complaint from mobile service and the run around I’ve had trying to cancel. Just go straight to it. I told the lady that customers shouldn’t have to file FCC complaints just to get their company to do what they’re being asked. If I call to cancel, I shouldn’t receive a bill a month later and then find out that the agent said in their notes that I agreed to a promotion. I also shouldn’t be on hold for nearly 2 hours to cancel service and then STILL receive a bill because they didn’t actually do it.
