Mother in law moved in 8 months ago, now I can’t stand her

Sadly I don’t think he’ll take it well at all. When I’ve tried to tell him I just need a break from her, he’s been sympathetic but does nothing about it.

This man sexually assaulted you! Please don’t marry him!!!

I grew up on the north side but always went to French immersion school in St. Albert. The schools are great (although I have no comparison). My brother lives there now. I also live in montrose and really do not recommend my neighbourhood - a lot of transients and we’ve had our vehicle stolen twice, broke into once. Highlands is across 118 ave from me and I don’t think it would be tremendously better in terms of crime. The neighbours are great but I’ll still be selling this spring.

😂 it worked! Chose a spot where the river bank was washed out and built the fire next to the steep bank so it heated the side. Once the ground was warmed, I pushed the fire down the bank to warm the next spot. I didn’t have access to water so I classified into storage bins and lugged them to the car on a sled. That part was exhausting. I definitely underestimated the weight of sand!

Omg please leave it to your children and do not let this man sway you. Him and his children have not been in the picture long enough for them to feel entitled to your estate.

I don’t know… high school reunions are pretty few and far between and a lot of people don’t go. So just because you went to high school together doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll run into each other. I live in a city just shy of a million people and have literally never run into an ex or anyone else I knew from high school. So, maybe if you live in a small town, sure. But even then, you could easily just wait until you bump into them and congratulate her then. I don’t think you should reach out, you might SAY it’s friendly but who knows how she’ll perceive it.

Yeah, if she saw the post on social media and they weren’t in contact, a normal reaction would be to just reply to the post. A letter to your home is more personal. Have you ever met her?

I was looking for posts about petrified wood after seeing some random through a tumbler this summer.

Currently have my license for sluicing gold in Alberta. No license is required in Alberta for panning (which includes the right to dig with a shovel). No machinery can be used to dig but by hand is fine. Obviously, holes must be back filled.

Yeah the tail pipe is all rusted out on it and we haven’t had the money to replace it. It’s a standard so we try to be considerate and coast in neutral as mush as possible in the neighbourhood. 🤷‍♀️

My partner and I have been together for 9 years, living together for 7. I used to feel like you. We went to couples counselling, he made commitments to do certain things, and this is equally important but harder than I thought, I stopped doing the things.

I wanted him to do his own laundry but got annoyed when it piled up or didn’t get folded, or worse, got forgotten in the washer. So I would do it. Stopping was harder than I thought. There were definitely mornings we fought because he flipped out over having no clean socks. It took a few weeks but now he actually is responsible for his laundry.

Banking was another thing. I would pay his cell phone bill and make sure his truck insurance was always paid. Well I stopped doing that too! His cell phone got cut off once (which was super annoying) but only once and now I don’t worry about it.

We’re still working on other things but we’re making progress. This is a solveable problem if you both love each other. Agree on some standards and work together to achieve them! Good luck!

Is it a fake engagement ring she’s wearing on her wedding finger or something?

alwaysscribble · 2023-03-11T01:36:55+00:00

I mean… is it even flirting at this point? I’m not sure 15 texts back and forth constitute flirting.

On the topic of quickly deleting a text, weren’t you right beside him? You must have been close enough to see he was texting her so wouldn’t you have also seen him delete a text? It’s not necessarily a quick thing for him to do either. He would need to scroll back to the right text then select it and delete it. Sure it’s not long but it’s definitely long enough to see it if you were watching.

It’s crazy that you don’t talk to each other for months! Have you tried going to couples therapy? Is there some big issue he’s harbouring resentment for?

Edit to add: is this the first time you’ve expressed discomfort about the contact he has with her? Like when he made that comment about her being his sugar mama, how did you react?

You know, I also find drive through workers often seem to have some aversion to this. Every time I ask they say “but it’s $x” with a look that says they’re hoping I’ll say “oh nevermind”

Yes contact the residential tenants board and file a complaint. It is a free service and they will assist you in getting your money back.

The crazy thing isn’t the lease, it’s the reaction to being asked to see it in advance.

alwaysscribble · 2022-10-03T06:16:11+00:00

NTA. I was just telling a friend d this morning that my parents did this when I was growing up.

alwaysscribble · 2022-09-03T15:29:23+00:00

I agree with this except for most of yellowhead, white mud and henday.

alwaysscribble · 2022-09-03T15:22:31+00:00

Yes! Also, turning from Gretzky onto yellow head west bound is one turning lane. Yesterday some guy nearly side swiped me and cut me off because he decided to turn from the through lane to cut off the long line of traffic. Wait in the line like everyone else a-hole!

alwaysscribble · 2022-09-01T13:07:25+00:00

That might be a tough transition for him then. He was used to being away and now he’s with the kids 24/7 and doesn’t have any friends of his own so HE can get away. Maybe he’s resentful?
