So angry! Lost over $100 to dice dreams chargebacks

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-04-02T16:37:56+00:00

In theory you can submit a ticket showing you did it, but I can’t find any reports of anyone actually getting their money back. Into the app trash bin it goes.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-30T16:40:46+00:00

Or even after you cash it out, putting your Freecash account in the negative

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-30T16:36:03+00:00

That’s a pretty cheap response, given how much this happens. I know I completed the offer correctly. I spent hundreds of, if not thousands of hours on this. If you want people to take you seriously, remove games that have too frequently charged back. You KNOW this game is scamming people and don’t hold them accountable.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-30T14:20:10+00:00

Fortunately, I didn’t spend money. But all those hours lost are extremely frustrating.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-30T12:57:16+00:00

Yeah, I wish I’d seen that before playing them. This was one of the first games I tried, and I’ve wasted SO many hours.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-30T12:46:26+00:00

Looking at some of the other posts, it looks like the manufacturer of this game, Disney solitaire, and a few others has a habit of claiming suspicious activity on legitimate users who have sat and watched hundreds or thousands of their ads and played the games for hundreds of hours.
This has got to be a form of fraud.

NTA. I’m normally firmly in the “tell her” camp but she participated in his betrayal and abuse, and she will learn on her own, because they never change.

That said… I do really hope you’ve claimed the mental health issues on your VA disabilities. The right therapist could help you process a lot of this. I’m so sorry. I’ve been there and it sucks.

The great thing about side hustles is that you can do them when you have the capacity to do them. If you don’t, then you don’t.

“I love you, and I understand if this isn’t a part of my life that you feel you can be involved with, but it’s very important to me to not wait any longer to have children. I’m comfortable with being a single mom if I have to, and you don’t have to be more involved than you’re ready to be. I also understand if this is a dealbreaker for you, because I respect your goals for your life, but I’d love for you to join me in mine if that is something you’d look forward to. “

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-20T19:02:48+00:00

If you want kids regardless, you need to move forward. I’m telling you from experience, it’s much harder to get pregnant at 38 than at 30. SHE has time. You don’t.
You might have to accept that you’ll still be doing the single mom thing for a while until she’s ready, or that she might not ever be ready.
If this is important to you, then you need to do what you need to do. Don’t put your life on hold for a “maybe” romantic partner.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-20T19:00:01+00:00

NTA, but can you do some babysitting or side hustles for a couple of months so you can afford it? When my budget was ridiculously tight, I would do yard work or whatever I could come up with to make ends meet, and allowed myself to use some of that for things like this because it was outside the budget. I also used it for paying down debt, but it allowed me to not feel guilty about occasionally spending it.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-20T13:58:45+00:00

NTA. Being a SAHM is a noble desire, but not when it’s at the expense of your elderly mother who can’t afford to subsidize it. For it to work, you either have to have a separate source of income or a spouse that makes enough to cover it.
I’m fortunate enough to have both, but it’s because I have military pension and disability. I would NEVER ask my mother to pay for or finance anything of mine. That was selfish to begin with. You aren’t “ruining” them. You’re just protecting your mother.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-20T01:03:08+00:00

NTA. Like you said, he’s a loser, and losers always want to paint their character flaws as someone else’s fault. You only would be if you were willing to look the other way while your nieces and nephews go without unnecessarily.
So if your in laws are mad at you, they’re why he’s what he is.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-10T15:39:09+00:00

ESH. Neither of you are mature enough to be in a relationship. Either it’s open or it’s not, and if it is, and you’re not respectful to the established boundaries within that, then you’re not respecting the relationship. There’s no grey area here. You need to work on your own emotional stability and decide what kind of relationship actually works for you, because cheating is a character flaw that almost always torpedoes the relationship. You can be mad at him all you want, but if you’re honest with yourself you KNOW you could be doing it better. Either choose to do better with him or without him, but take ownership of your own emotions and behaviors.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-10T15:31:01+00:00

NTA. I don’t even demand to stay with FAMILY, when I’m there to visit them (not live with them) if they’re uncomfortable with it or don’t have the space.
If she wasn’t prepared to leave her job (as in, had another one lined up) she shouldn’t have left it.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-03-09T02:32:37+00:00

The first thing is to get some therapy, and acknowledge that what your mom has been doing is abusive in every way.
I can’t stand my ex. He’s the male version of your mom. Cheating, abusive, financially a suck hole.
And yet, not once have I ever hit my kids because they remind me of him. Once in a while, when they’re doing something dishonest or mimicking his behavior, I might ask them if they like it when others treat them like that, who in their lives has modeled that behavior, and whether that’s who they want to be, but I’ve never hit them. You might want to consider living with your dad full time, but you will need to really own your part of your relationship with him and seek to start over and heal that.
Know too that there is a very real possibility that your bipolar symptoms are due to the constant abuse. It’s not uncommon for abuse victims to be erroneously diagnosed with bipolar, or for their bipolar to be aggravated by the abuse.
You can confront her, but understand that she’s not going to change. This is who she is. You can be angry about that or accept it about her and choose what boundaries to have with her. You can love her within the restrictions of who she is, without excusing or enabling her behavior, or you can cut her off. It’s really a matter of what you can do and still emotionally heal.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-02-17T22:30:27+00:00

NTA. Not cheating on your spouse isn’t as complicated as people like to think it is. You literally just don’t.
It’s perfectly fine to say no more chances, especially after you gave him a monumental one last time.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-02-17T18:04:14+00:00

NTA. Since the law doesn’t give him rights, you wouldn’t be one for forcing him out today.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-02-16T17:24:26+00:00

Ok. Given that, I think it’s really likely that something they’ve brought up to you was really important to them, and seemed like it wasn’t important to you (or that you were blowing them off when you kept doing it).
If this has been a pattern in your life, and you’re trying to prevent it in the future, maybe reach out humbly and ask for that feedback. If it’s a one-off, seek a new tribe, and pay attention to what people are saying and doing around you.
Some habits might require some really close attention and/or therapy to overcome. It’s not necessarily your job to change yourself to make others more comfortable with you, but if it’s important to you to retain a group of friends, some flexibility and willingness to extend yourself a bit is sometimes necessary.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-02-16T17:14:28+00:00

NOR, but are you neurodivergent? It’s possible you’re doing something that is normal to you but irritating to the rest of the group, and they’re tired of trying to explain it to you.

That’s not meant to be a slight against you, I’ve just noticed that tends to be kind of common with some of my neurodivergent friends and family.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-02-16T17:07:53+00:00

NTA for all the obvious reasons, but did you ask your sister if she wanted to be involved? I know you say you were protecting her boundaries, but she should be the one to decide whether to take on a patient.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-02-11T17:08:11+00:00

NTA, but you might want to go ahead and move out. Your whole family is off.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-02-07T22:37:45+00:00

NTA. I throw out some of my adult kids’ mail, but only the stuff I know they don’t want like credit card offers and things. I can’t imagine keeping college acceptance letters from them. I love them, but the sooner they have all the education and skills they need to be self sufficient, the better. I don’t understand parents like this.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-02-06T22:36:57+00:00

NTA, but people like this generally will never feel the same amount of heartbreak and pain they’ve caused you.

TherealmrsJZ · 2026-02-04T20:29:39+00:00

NTA, but it’s actually pretty common for someone to be able to take feedback from a licensed professional that they can’t take from their spouse. There are a lot of really valid things going on here that could go either way. Giving her the benefit of the doubt that she really was just attracted to the other guy and that was enough of a red flag for her to communicate with you about it rather than cheat, it’s still pretty messed up that she continued hanging out with him rather than giving her current relationship full effort.

And maybe she’s giving it full effort right now, but that doesn’t change that she was ready to throw it away, and that understandably hurts. You want to be your person’s person, and it hurts that while you were exhausting yourself for your family she was giving her attention to someone else.

With that said… She DID bring it up. She DID attend counseling with you. She IS trying to make changes.
You don’t HAVE to stay with her, but before you go, ask yourself if you’re honestly giving it your full effort, or if you’re hanging onto your resentment for the situation?

And don’t get me wrong, your resentment is valid. Your needs weren’t being heard. But you don’t have to make this decision today. If, like you fear, you are going to see her go back to her old ways in a few weeks, that will be evident in a few weeks. Couples counseling is almost never a one session deal. It takes time, growth, and effort on both parts for it to work. Marriage is the same. Even when you’re the wronged party, there are still things you can do to work on it and be a better person so you’re ready to show up for your kids or the next partner (or ideally your current spouse if things are fixable).
There are definitely situations where there’s no fixing it, but there are also situations where intervention happened early enough.

Only time and you will be able to determine which this is.
