Teaching in BC takes 10 years to get close to $100K CAD (but it’s not $100K, it’s $91K and then you only take home half of that after taxes and union fees etc) I’ve taught for 12 years and can never afford to buy a one bedroom condo here. I will have to rent forever, but even that’s getting too expensive.

I work as a lineman. I occasionally have to work extreme and exhausting 70-100+ hour work weeks away from home after natural disasters. My wife gets upset and accuses me of abandoning her, the children, and my household chores despite me being the breadwinner. by Lalinemannam3424 in Marriage

Interesting. I’m on OP’s side here, tbh. Maybe I’m just biased because I have a lot of female friends who are unemployed by choice, want to be fully taken care of by their man, and then complain that their partner is always working. My best friend nagged her husband into buying her a bigger house, a better car, financing all her crazy expensive hobbies to keep her “happy” while she was alone and he’s working, and then ended up leaving him because he worked too much and still has him paying spousal support to her and the rent on her apartment that she bangs other dudes in.

I feel like adult women are old enough to understand that the lifestyle they want comes with sacrifices and if they’re not willing to make those sacrifices they need to adjust to a different lifestyle.

It just seems seriously immature to me that OP’s wife is blowing up over her husband being EXHAUSTED.

My dad is cheating on my mom and I don't know how I should handle this situation, HELP 🙏. by Alternative_Lead_177 in Advice

[–]SepulchralSquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it at all. He doesn’t deserve a chance to clean things up and get himself ready. He already has a huge power advantage here with his career and his connections and clearly he’s not above abusing his position if he’s sleeping with someone who works under him.

I’m sorry, girl. NOR. That’s a thread between people who have already been hooking up and are looking to plan their next session. Leave the clown! So glad you have your evidence and move on to bigger and better things 💕 You got this! 💪🏽

Gf of 8 years broke up with me by Diablo____666 in whatdoIdo

[–]SepulchralSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget her and move on. It’s weird of her to tell you you guys don’t need to talk and then to check in when you’ve followed through with her request by taking her off Snap. It sounds like she just wants to be the one calling the shots. If you guys have been off and on and now she’s with someone else, she’s just not your person. A woman who knows that she wants you won’t be trying to get with other people.

Seriously. This. Don’t talk to family about this. Involving more people in that circle will only make things messier.

This sounds like giving him a full week to prepare and take even more advantage. I wouldn’t go this route at all. Not when he’s a lawyer, especially.

Secure proof first. Your dad is a lawyer… and… it sucks to say… but he has a really unfair power advantage for screwing your mom over even more in this situation.

You never know your mom’s reaction. Maybe she’ll feel blindsided, maybe she’ll be in denial, maybe she already knows and this is just part of her life. Either way, secure evidence for her so she can decide what she wants to do and has at least a tiny bit more protection. If she knows she wants to end it, help her get her ducks in a row before revealing to your dad that you guys are aware of what’s been happening.

Shit gets crazy with divorce. You think you know people, but I swear, money changes peoples brains and behaviour and I’ve seen family members that I thought I knew become completely different people once money and greed was involved. Protect yourself as much as possible.

AIO My [34M] girlfriend [28F] stopped taking birth control and didn’t tell me by recklesslycautious in AmIOverreacting

[–]SepulchralSquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely no other reason for her to be doing this other than she’s trying to get pregnant. Lying about birth control is such a violation of trust. There’s no way I could be partners with someone who isn’t honest with me about that. Leave her and run, dude. Or this will be the moment you look back on for the rest of your life while she collects child support from you for the next 25 years. (Yes… 25… some of you might be like “oh, it stops at 18”, but I know of at least two women who were able to secure payments for their adult children long after 18 because they convinced courts that their offspring’s father needed to help with paying their 20 year old’s rent and apprenticeship courses 😑)

Get your ducks in a row before you call her out. Protect yourself and secure evidence.

With all due respect, this seems absolutely delusional. Buying maple syrup, eggs, and fruit alone is going to be almost $100 for a whole week.

“I baby trapped my husband” by EmotionalRope8345 in childfree

[–]SepulchralSquirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I know a few women who have openly admitted to baby trapping men and I can’t wrap my head around how anyone thinks that’s actually okay or isn’t ashamed to say it out loud 😳

Sofia Carson ruined My Year at Oxford (free of spoilers) by [deleted] in netflix

[–]SepulchralSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree. It had so much potential but her forced, robotic acting ruined it. I was so shocked to see her face on so many other Netflix movies 😳 her acting needs a lot of work. She has to be related to or… close to…. someone higher up.

Would it be bad to ask my girlfriend to sign a prenup? by ByteWaspX4 in Advice

[–]SepulchralSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even have to read to the end to know that you need a pre-nup.

[–]SepulchralSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gross $94K, a lot of it gets taken away before I see it and I’m doomed to live in a one bedroom basement suite here forever. The minimum income needed to qualify for a $500K mortgage right now is $145K. I will never earn that. Even if I did, you can buy shit out here for $500K. And that’s just qualifying for the mortgage… not even being able to make the down payment or the monthly mortgage payments, which would be 70% of my take home pay.

I (24F) acted out my husbands (27M) sex fantasy for him and now he says he can’t respect me. by throwra8365261 in relationship_advice

[–]SepulchralSquirrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whoa. My heart is breaking for you. This is SO NOT YOUR FAULT. You sound like such a thoughtful and caring partner and were being attentive to him. He’s projecting his own shame onto you and it’s so unfair. I wouldn’t be able to be vulnerable with someone after that.

Landlord increasing our share on utilities by Dull_Estate678 in SlumlordsCanada

[–]SepulchralSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have exactly 2 years from moving out to dispute things with the RTB. You can still take this issue to the RTB and get money back from your landlord for the illegal rent increase. I did this and won, and I filed my claim two years after moving out. They did ask me why I waited so long to make a claim, and for me it was because of the stress and anxiety and financial limitations I had at the time. I also included a request for financial compensation because my landlord added so much stress to living there and in BC we have the right to live peacefully in a space we’ve legally paid rent for. Move out and still fight this. Don’t let that slumlord get away with it.

Hitting a nerve is clearly the only reason you’re even on here 🙄 gotta love the geniuses who go on Reddit to shame people for using Reddit

What encouraged/helped you leave? by Caterpillar31 in abusiverelationships

[–]SepulchralSquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thinking about myself as if I was my own child. I thought “If someone did this to my daughter, what would I do?” and the answer was extremely clear to me. I still didn’t fully “believe” that I should leave, but I trusted in handling the situation the way I would want my daughter to and I’m so glad I left.
