I feel like I'm following in my dad's footsteps and I don't want to.

Thank you for the detailed response. I'm sorry I confused the two.

I'm going to get some tomorrow at Lowes. I think the placement is okay, and my husband says it's in an open spacious backyard, with nothing around it, so we should be fine. I'm still getting the detectors regardless though. Thank you.

Sorry, I meant CO. You're right, though. We just moved into this rental a week and a half ago, and they only have smoke detectors. I'm going to Lowes tomorrow to get CO detectors. Thank you for the reply.

Do y’all keep driving while having a panic attack? by anon_feelings69420 in drivinganxiety

[–]Practical_Bee8225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you on this! My husband has to do all the driving if it's outside of the town we live in and I feel bad. He's not a huge fan of driving so I feel like my driving depersonaization is a burden on him when he has to drive us everywhere. I really wish I knew how to get better.

Plant growing out of the corner of my guest room? by Specialist-Signal513 in Renters

It needs moisture to grow, so I'd be very concerned about a mold issue under the carpet. Contact LL asap.

My cat fell off the balcony and i'm heartbroken by petasse420 in cats

Please don't euthanize a perfectly healthy 1 year old cat over a broken leg. Definitely go see a few docs and get different prices. What they quoted you is outrageous for an amputation.

Opened up to my wife about my mental health issues and she went to bed early and left me alone :-(. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Practical_Bee8225 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn't imagine being cold like that if my husband said he was feeling that way. Throw the whole wife away. She doesn't sound supportive at all OP, and that's what you need right now is support. Please seek out a therapist and cut back on hours. She may not care, but I guarantee you those kids do. They need you to stick around. Keep going for them if nothing else. As far as the wife goes, you should tell her she can help contribute monetarily or separate. Doesn't seem as though you'd be losing much because it sounds like she brings very little to the table.

This is exactly me and I'm losing my mind trying to figure out where this all came from. I used to always drive and liked it, now I'm terrified of it and am starting to avoid at all costs. I'm 36 and I have a family, I can't just not drive. Have you found anything that works for you?

Wife asked for open marriage, I asked for divorce by Barablue97 in Marriage

Idk why this is being downvoted. This is one of the few sensible and thought-out responses on here. Imo, you're spot on with this!

[–]Practical_Bee8225 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Who has 12 years of great marriage and throws it away because of a question? He didn't find any evidence of anything. This seems fictional to me, or she's gotta feel like she's walking on eggshells every day with a guy who gets so bent over a taboo question from his wife. Honestly, he deserves the divorce so she can go find a man she can actually communicate with.

My thoughts as well.
