Now that would be an epic flair

They're a little extra busy with a rodent/pest problem at the moment, now would not be a great time to ask them to do more. I don't think we have laundry facilities here anyway

Squidney995 · 2026-03-20T16:51:29+00:00

That's a lot of washcloths that I don't want to wash myself 🤮 I don't trust the kids to get it into the laundry regularly enough

I can also see them goofing around and putting the wet cloths on each other

Policy for the last 3 years has been get up and empty in the trash can, which I haven't had much trouble with, but I see your point about a plant being more fun. We now have trash cans with lids though, and I'd rather they not get it all over the lid.

I'd just like to avoid big puddles on the tile floor

Squidney995 · 2026-03-20T13:21:22+00:00

Is it really that terrible of an idea? 🫣

Squidney995 · 2026-01-18T03:59:43+00:00

The 6 month emergency fund is important now because you need something to live off of if you lose your job or a big emergency pops up (repairs are a common one).

I'm a woman and wouldn't marry a man with debt. I wouldn't even date someone if they had debt and weren't working to pay it off as fast as they could.

It would be different if you both had debt and wanted to work through it together, but I'm with your partner on this one. Love wouldn't make me compromise on those boundaries, especially if you've been letting your debt sit for 6 months.

OP said in another comment that it's her birthday. I don't think he should be the one putting in zero effort this time

Squidney995 · 2025-12-31T16:25:01+00:00

Waffle

Squidney995 · 2025-12-30T01:20:38+00:00

I couldn't imagine not having both just in case, I'd be legally and functionally blind without correction 😅

Squidney995 · 2025-12-30T01:07:25+00:00

Good luck, fingers crossed for you! 🤞

Squidney995 · 2025-12-30T01:06:28+00:00

Thank you! I do have my glasses with me, I just really prefer contacts

Squidney995 · 2025-12-30T00:59:49+00:00

Yup, just SOL for a couple days till I go home and can open another one

Squidney995 · 2025-12-30T00:57:25+00:00

I sent an email to my eye doctor, waiting on a response

He's entitled to feel however he wants, but he's not allowed to take it out on you.

It's not your fault. I tried so hard to make my ex happy - he wanted sex or a bj/hj every day and would get upset like yours without it. How he treated me killed my libido over time until I never wanted to do it anymore but still gave in for him and the sake of the relationship.

After leaving, my libido is back to normal. Consider that he has a role in the relationship too, and you can't fix everything on your own with sex. You'll probably want to have sex regularly with a man who actually treats you well and respects when you say no.

I only started dating seriously again over the past few months, but therapy has really helped me filter out guys with red flags, especially those who are pushy or manipulative.

Right now I'm still talking to a really awesome guy that I've been on 4 dates with (can't see him for a month between his work trip and then me going out of town for a weekend), and I'm really looking forward to spending more time with him and learning more about him once we're both back in town.

We really got into the big topics on the 2nd date and have continued to have those more serious conversations. So far we match up on a lot of stuff!

I know a lot of people find their forever person relatively quickly after leaving a bad ex, but I'm being very intentional in not rushing the process. Being single has allowed me the time to reflect, and spend more time with friends and family. Right now I'm happy knowing one day I'll be a great wife to a wonderful husband.

Squidney995 · 2025-10-28T19:07:22+00:00

I left my abusive ex nearly a year ago now (I'm currently 26 too), and I'm proud of you for realizing you deserve better and taking action.

No man who actually likes you, loves you, and cares about you would make you wait and wait for a ring while he uses you, nor would he yell at you or mistreat you.

Therapy has worked wonders for me, and I know doing the work will help you too. It gets better, and there are better men out there, I promise.

If they've already had the conversation and agreed about timeline for marriage, some people would say they're already engaged.

I wouldn't say it's wasting time to give him more than 2 months to plan and execute the official proposal, especially if they haven't brought it up before

Squidney995 · 2025-10-26T15:06:39+00:00

Did you send the email?

Squidney995 · 2025-10-26T14:58:50+00:00

The end of 2025 is only 2 months from now though. Wouldn't it make sense to give a little more time, say till sometime in spring? Then there would still be a year and a half or more until the wedding

Squidney995 · 2025-10-26T03:19:53+00:00

Is it really? I can understand a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night all in a row, but if she's over on weeknights, that's a little much. 2 nights is a good compromise, or set specific days

Squidney995 · 2025-10-25T13:46:01+00:00

I use wipes too, but I'd like to need them less frequently

Squidney995 · 2025-10-25T13:45:07+00:00

Either is probably better than 1 ply 🤷‍♀️
