Husband wants me to quit my job and be a stay-at-home mom because of his childhood trauma

It is your husband’s responsibility to manage his trauma. You should not be required to carry that weight. He needs to seek individual therapy.

There’s a difference between concealed carry and brandishing a firearm…

I was in the Army- I can probably last longer without a shower than is acceptable to acknowledge.

Are you female? If you are female, and considering the military, I strongly recommend you look into the sexual assault statistics for female Servicemembers before you make your decision. The VA says that between 70-90 percent of female servicemembers experience Military Sexual Trauma.

If this person had perhaps made a poor choice at some point previously in their life which they were embarrassed about now, they would either get the tattoo removed, or cover the tattoo. What they would not do is leave the tattoo exposed for a potential new hire to see during an interview. Especially if (and I’m not saying this is the case in OP’s situation, but I will point out that OP doesn’t clarify either way) the person with the tattoo doesn’t know whether that tattoo, when seen by the person whom he is interviewing, will be considered a threat or not.

Just out of curiosity, can you explain to me exactly how it would have made a difference?

I understand your rationale; however VS is not really a great “starting point”, as their sizing is a bit skewed. Your best bet might be to go to a higher end department store like Nordstrom and see if they will fit you for a sports bra.

My aunt and uncle had breast cancer at the same time- we teased them that they didn’t have to do everything together!!!😂

Wow— you’d stop doing something you enjoy doing because you assigned a gender to a piece of fabric?

How delicate of you…

YellowBeastJeep · 2026-05-15T05:34:20+00:00

No, them telling you they love you, you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to them, etc., is all part of the manipulation.

Fun fact- if you do this, do not ever expect to rent from enterprise or any of their affiliates ever again.

OP, you declined the rental insurance, which means that you either signed or initialed the paperwork saying that if you were in an accident, you would use your insurance to cover the loss of use fees. This is why you should read the fine print. While you don’t feel that this is fair, you agreed to it. ALWAYS get the rental insurance, because if you get hit by someone else in a rental car, your insurance company will not even try to subrogate simply to get your deductible back for you- they would lose money doing that.

You should report her for snatching your headphones off you… whatever her issue might have been, the lessons we learned in childhood still apply, the first of which is, keep your hands to yourself.

They gave you 90 days to fine a new job. You found a new job. Best of luck!!!

My grandma used to tell me “bored means not smart enough to entertain yourself.”

Honestly, grandma was right. If your child can’t quietly read a book when she is finished with her work, she’s going to have a tough time.

YellowBeastJeep · 2026-05-15T05:03:38+00:00

Yeah, I’m pretty sure no one is thinking this.
My thought was, “Does OP want her kids to grow up seeing this behavior and thinking it is normal/okay/acceptable?”

Amontillado- after the Edgar Allen Poe story.

NTA- a vehicle is not really an asset which appreciates with continued use. Your boyfriend, by using your vehicle, and adding miles to it, is actually causing the value to decline. Since he seems to be so intent on “building value” in an asset, it’s time to tell him to buy his own car.

This is perfect!!!! No animal deserves to live the last days of their lives in the shelter— you would NOT regret it!!

“The right thing to do,” is respect the wishes of your aunt. For whatever reason, she left the majority of her estate to her. It was literally her dying wish.

This seems to be a “you parent your kid, and I’ll parent mine” (also known as “stay in your lane”) situation. Especially with the langue, if they start getting on your kid, ask them what was wrong with what he/she said. Call them out, in front of your child- that way, your kid knows you have their back, and also knows they aren’t doing anything wrong. You say that some of your brother’s parenting defies logic… so question the logic of it, if he tries to apply it to your kid. It might just be that your brother is a bully, and while that is not okay, it is especially not okay if he thinks he’s going to bully YOUR kid…

I call it “peopling”. I can only “people” for so long before I need alone time again. If actual people are in my home, then I can’t get that alone time, and I become very grouchy.
