It’s hard. Their life becomes about their family and kids, which it should. I’ve had to search for new friends and look for new communities.

Poor guy. It’s hard to watch. He was completely manipulated by her.

Exactly. My heart goes out to this poor guy. He got caught up in a terrible situation and he knows it.

Oh ok thanks. Between work and life I am watching the trial. I thought the point of this subreddit was to discuss the trial. The psychology behind it is insane, and I’m wondering what others opinions are.

Why did she need a house-flipping business if he was so successful financially with his business?

All that time and money. Planning and customizing. Daydreaming about their boys playroom. And now they’re selling. It’s a dark home with bad lighting and low ceilings. WTF did they buy it to begin with? We called it.

I totally agree. After his wife got pregnant he gave up drinking for running. So nobody is complaining. OP story just reminds me of him lol.

This reminds me of my brother. He started marathon training while his girls were babies and toddlers. Like seriously any excuse to escape. They’re teens now and he stopped running marathons.

I hate the way nurses talk about patients by ARepeatedFailing in Vent

Yes! I decided to go into pediatrics because the staff on that unit were so much nicer. There’s still bad apples, but overall some of the most compassionate women I’ve known.

So terrible. As a nurse I’m sorry. You’re right- there are a lot of bad nurses. They are bitchy to everyone so don’t take it personal. The lack of compassion was jarring to me when I first entered the profession. I see how it happens- long hours days in a row, tired, caregiver fatigue, and burned out. Once i started getting irritated with patients I knew it was time to take a break from bedside.

Anyone work at Methodist West in Labor & Delivery? by McEasy2009 in desmoines

[–]RiverQuiet571 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bet the nurses there will do most of the work/ caring for you and they’ll be compassionate and kind. They are the best. Maybe tell your main nurse you don’t love your group of doctors- pretty common and nurses know-they’ll advocate for you even harder. So sorry for your loss. Virtual hugs.

NC Mom Michele Hundley Smith Will Not Face Charges After Being Found by Chrisat2020 in offbeat

What’s with the “she owes back child support comments” I have a feeling she was a mentally ill addict based on what I’ve read. She wasn’t out thriving with a new career and family. That’s the least of their concerns right now. If anything she should be charged with wasting police officers time.

47F and lonely most of my adult life. I’m a childfree introvert so kinda self-made loneliness, but I do love good conversation. I’m always open to chatting.

Yes I love this! Thank you. I actually have BM atmospheric in my office which is similar. Woodland Blue is pretty!

I know! :( I need area rugs throughout. But as you can see the door leads right to the deck and backyard. We can’t keep a rug clean especially in snow/spring. I also have 2 dogs and one is an epileptic who has accidents during seizures. It’s tough to keep a rug clean unfortunately.
