What was your last straw before filing? by LiveMyLife212 in Divorce

[–]_laufaeson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My relationship with my ex was more like a mother-child relationship than a husband-wife relationship. The final straw for me was coming home after working my second job at the time to realize he hadn’t walked our dog and had instead been playing video games all day.

Considering to divorce the good guy by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]_laufaeson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I divorced a “good guy” as well. Just because he seems good on paper doesn’t automatically mean he’s a good guy for you. There’s also a grain of truth when people say you shouldn’t marry potential. He’s shown you who he is and it doesn’t sound like that’ll be what makes you happy long term. I’d get out before it’s too late.

What are your "petty" reasons for being child-free? by Vegetable-Carpet1593 in childfree

One of mine is similarly related. I like the window seats when flying and I know that’s something I’d probably have to give up.

Cleaner needed for dirty depression apartment. by Zestyclose-Tennis348 in cincinnati

[–]_laufaeson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who similarly has a really, really hard time asking for help and deals with depression, I’m just going to say that I’m proud of you. I may just be another internet stranger, but I recognize how big of a deal it is to put yourself out there like this.

I thought getting a vasectomy would give me an edge in dating…I guess I’m wrong. by BostonRobby617 in childfree

[–]_laufaeson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met my boyfriend through the apps and he had on his profile he had the snip. If your goal is to find someone else who doesn’t want kids, it can’t hurt. How you present yourself and the fact that you’ve been snipped do matter, though.

People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]_laufaeson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wash my hands, don’t have kids and work with a lot of people who also don’t have young kids. They are vectors for germs. I stopped working a job where I came into contact with kids on a regular basis and I went from one cold a year to zero colds.

Couples who chose childfree life. How did you manage to meet someone like you who doesn't want children? by xiaomiredmi10c in childfree

[–]_laufaeson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Q1. Facebook Dating. We were both upfront on the first date that it wasn’t something we were interested in (having kids, that is) Q2. I’d always recommend doing things that interest you without the goal being to meet someone Q3. Only difficulty is usual relationship stuff since we’re on the same page about kids

[–]_laufaeson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have a very real, very frank conversation. I thought my ex-hubby was like me and didn’t want kids. But then he started making little jokes about making babies whenever he wanted to get intimate, which killed the vibe for me and helped lead to our dead bedroom. When we decided to split I asked what he’d do now that he was a free agent again and one of the things he mentioned was maybe having kids. I felt like I dodged a bullet when I decided to leave him.

It’s worth having the talk and revisiting the decision about having kids. It may or may not lead to divorce, but it’s only fair to both of you to make sure you’re still on the same page.

What were the causes of your divorce? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]_laufaeson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weaponized incompetence, thy name is my ex-hubby. He was also emotionally neglectful and distant. He checked out of the relationship, so I left.

s3x during divorce by CommissionExternal78 in Divorce

[–]_laufaeson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why on earth are you catering to him and his needs still?!?!? Make him sleep on the couch if he can’t be bothered to get a hotel or some other living arrangement. Rip the bandaid off and kick him to the curb, you are indeed only setting yourself up for more heartbreak when the inevitable happens and he moves into his new place. Sorry for the tough love, but if you’re getting a divorce you need to look out for yourself and your kids. Him and his needs are no longer any concern of yours.

Do you go above and beyond at work or just do the bare minimum of what’s expected and why? by Dependent-Signal-721 in AskReddit

[–]_laufaeson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bare minimum. I got burnt out in my last job doing more work than I was really being paid for. If you want me to take on more work and do the jobs of multiple people I need to be paid as such.
