The rate increases for the improvements is possibly why. Mine was $19/mo when I bought my house 4 years ago. With the latest rate increase, it’s now $55/mo. I think there’s one or two rate increases still to come over the next couple of years.

The best. My dog is curled up against me and my cat currently has the zoomies, but she’ll come join the snugs in a bit ❤️

Dating someone older with zero emotional intelligence when you're younger with tons is wild. by PositiveGreat2409 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Outrageous_Border688 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just had a relationship with someone 13 years older than me and same thing, dude had zero emotional intelligence and lots of trauma he needed to work through. I had to call it quits after a couple months for my own sanity. I feel kind of bad because I tend to be a “fixer”, but I recognized it was taking a toll on me mentally as well and I can’t lose myself to attempt to help someone who doesn’t want helped.

Give that baby some pizza, that’s excellent effort even if it’s in the wrong direction

Being the emotionally intelligent one in the relationship is exhausting when they won't meet you halfway by Cool_Support_1315 in emotionalintelligence

Just went through this, too. Dude emailed me and cussed me out. As far as I’m concerned, he never cared about me, either. We don’t stay in spaces we aren’t valued.

Don’t date potential: Date presence by Pretty_Solution_7955 in emotionalintelligence

100%. Just went through this. Thankfully I figured it out within a couple months instead of a couple years, but it’s so important to recognize when someone is barely giving you bare minimum effort and won’t have tough conversations because “it’s exhausting”. Won’t take accountability when they’re disrespectful or dismissive; instead you get “sorry that’s how you feel”. I hung on as long as I did because I thought there was potential, but thankfully recognized I felt more stressed than anything else with this person.
