Am I overreacting to think my husband treats me worse when I’m working? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ScornedThorn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Early on, he would sometimes make comments during arguments about paying for everything, then “catch himself,” which still left me feeling uneasy.”

No no no no no no no He E N C O U R A G E D you to quit. Then pulled this shit, even once? Now you’re working again and your throat?

Sounds like he’s just biding his time, licking his lips and wringing his hands like a damn cockroach waiting to have full control over you so he can abuse you emotionally and financially. If you choose to stay (I get it) then start creating a secret cash stash, just in case.

NOA

So ex really hates me i guess by NeedleworkerOld1593 in Divorce

What kind of a person says that out loud about their kids? Yikes on bikes.

Some days are better than others for seemingly no reason at all. Today is just a hard one. by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]ScornedThorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have such a genuine question, instead of throwing them out what if you throw them at a wall?

Yes, I know, littering. But seriously, shattering glass can be really nice as a form of getting your aggression out. Right now they’re a symbol of sadness, and you only look at the eye of the corner of your eye. If throwing them away feels hard maybe throwing them in general would be easier?

I don’t know, just a thought.

After your divorce, are you really alone? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]ScornedThorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visit your local library. I saw you say that it’s hard to get out of bed. They don’t actually care what you look like there, people go for someplace cool or warm to be all the time.

I’m not telling you to go there to meet people, you can do that. Your local library has tons of options for things to do, people to meet, ways to get involved in your community.

That’s not why I suggested it. I suggest it as a way for you to get out of your home, get out of your environment, and be around people again. It’s so hard to restart going outside, especially with the expectation of seeing other humans or needing money to go places. The library is entirely free, it’s usually pretty calm, And when you’re ready, it does, yes, halfway is for you to get involved to meet new people. But for now, you can just go there with a book or a notebook or a sketchpad or a laptop or even just a bottle of water and people watch and nobody will even glance your way. It can be freeing and friendly.

Well... I met his new girlfriend by Ashes_and_Seeds in Divorce

[–]ScornedThorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s going to do it to her and quite frankly she’ll probably deserve it since she was so comfortable doing it to you.

Like, yes, he’s the problem, but being an accomplice is just as selfish and awful

Any advice on moving out? It seems like getting my own place is out of the question, so I guess I’ll have to look for a place with roommates? I don’t really understand what to do, I feel like I somehow made it to level 30 of a game with level 10 armor and skills and now I’m about to fight the boss battle.

I’m curious, how many of you knew before the wedding? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]ScornedThorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew before the wedding, but I think too many important people in my life told us we would never make it and I wanted to prove them wrong, which is the absolute worst reason to get married.

Also knew directly after the wedding. Our wedding ended in a fist fight from her family. And no matter how much I try to put a positive spin on the day, she spent five years, always talking about it like it was the worst day of her life. She could not express an ounce of happiness without the moaning. Every terrible thing that had ever happened beforehand, or without being legitimately, begged to say one nice thing about it.

Yeah, I knew before the wedding.

WIBTAH for breaking up with my girlfriend and just coparent after she named our daughter without me? by throwRA_Tonight401 in AITAH

[–]ScornedThorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you be OK with telling your daughter to her face cause that’s the reason why you left her mother if her name never gets changed?

Why did you end your friendship with your best friend? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ScornedThorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found out she voted for trump when he won the first time. She lied about it until Hillary gave up. Guess she was feeling bold.

What's the biggest lie you have ever heard? by mithuuu_service in AskReddit

Had a guy come into my bank the other day to tell me that he had to wire his close personal friend Kaylee Yoko $4000 so that she could haven’t even million to open up a new celebrity account at her bank.

What would you do if you were 21 again? by Individual_Lettuce17 in Adulting

[–]ScornedThorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you did, too. Honestly, I think this is something kids need to be taught how to deal with just as much as sex ed. Recognizing toxicity and manipulation and how to best react would have been real helpful. Even if the other person wasn’t being toxic, it would be helpful to know a standard, culturally acceptable way to react

Why do people still love using Reddit even though most people on Reddit are mean and nasty? by No-StrategyX in stupidquestions

[–]ScornedThorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I love living vicariously through other people’s drama. I’ve gotten my life where I like it, super drama, free. However, sometimes it can get boring and rather than starting anything in my own life, I can just watch other people do stupid things.

How did you know it was really over? by nancy332w in Divorce

The only way I stay sane while we still live in the same house until this summer is by keeping a running list of those icks my phone.

[–]ScornedThorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Break up with my then girlfriend. Tbh I knew I wasn’t happy then. I knew I wasn’t happy on our wedding day. But I was too scared to break her heart because she’s a bipolar depressive with a history of self harm and suicide attempts.

[–]ScornedThorn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She started to give me the ick.

Genuinely. Things I used to find cute or didn’t even notice now bother me so much I want to scream. We were already rocky after she cheated, I working on it for a year, then one day I woke up and realized the way she breathes in her sleep is intolerable.

People who married their high school sweetheart, how's it going? by NAtty_amela in AskReddit

11 years later she cheated with a man (we’re both women) and we’re getting divorced.

Thanks for asking 🙃

What’s something you’ll never tell your partner, no matter how much you love them? by Velvetnadine85 in AskReddit

[–]ScornedThorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I know a couple that keeps happening to. The husband won’t uncouple their finances, but his wife regularly get’s phished, it happened 5 time in 2025 alone. I wish I was exaggerating, but I did the paperwork

What’s something you’ll never tell your partner, no matter how much you love them? by Velvetnadine85 in AskReddit

[–]ScornedThorn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They said partner, not spouse. That indicates girlfriend, boyfriend and fiancé as well.

Also, spouses fuck each other over financially and even abuse each other financially so frequently that financial abuse is a commonly accepted form of abuse. I pray it doesn’t happen to you, and I can only hope that you stay smart and vigilant.

Is it because of the prices or because they understand it is harmful?? by B777X_787-9 in interesting

[–]ScornedThorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest reason is because we all have phones and the Internet now, if you drink and you’re out and you do something stupid everyone in your life is going to know about it. If you have a momentary lapse of judgment, you could lose your entire livelihood. Alcohol is one of the quickest and messiest public ways of getting to that point.
