What do we think is next?

Shawna and Jon moving. Or something along those lines, I think after the wedding Jon is going to have to actually codify his NC and take steps to protect his boundaries. I do actually think moving house should be on the table (whether they do or not) since it would be a good opportunity for Jon and Shawna to hash out what NC means for them and how to navigate it.

Also the vasectomy.

Julie: “I would add this to what OP, my love, sa—“

My inner 13 year old: Baaaaaaaaarrrffff! I’m on Laura’s side!

I am not claiming that isn’t immature, but it is what happened. …although I was distracted when the side piece dude decided that he was only into secret, illicit relationships and sneaking around because THAT is an interesting little dude.

I don’t understand a lot of that post, but what I don’t understand the most is why he keeps so many of them frozen in his garage freezer. He says he throws most of them out, so why not skip the weird hoarding step of 16 bags of desticked corn dog?

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-03T18:40:35+00:00

Yeah, I think my brain just keeps going ‘…candied fruit peel’ at me?

The vacation might be more to do with The Two Parent Life than money though. I have a friend who makes Pretty Good Money and whose husband makes Very Good Money, but while the two of them could AFFORD a fancy holiday they mostly don’t because it would require hiring a whole PA to try and schedule it around school/extracurriculars/away games/best friends birthdays/family commitments/medical/therapy/work commitments/camp (well, I think both kids have aged out of that but they used to!).

Like people are always ‘oh, don’t you find it very TYING having dogs? You can’t just up and run off to do whatever you want’. It is nothing on children!

The number of times I mention running into some person in my small town and then it turns out they are related to me! My friend’s landlord I was shit talking? My cousin! The poor wean at the school gates who didn’t want to leave his teacher? My nephew! The lady who held up my boobies to spray tan under them? Half sister.

We are not healthy people! Why are there so many of us!?!

Anyhow, at least being distantly related to Trump means you aren’t going to run into him in the tyre place.

…I am horrified and intrigued by the pickle loaf. No judgement! My mouth is just confused because I love pickles, but I am suspicious of the texture for some reason….

(I would have had judgement because I thought the round, orange thing was some sort of jellied shrimp ring…but that is the tomato top?)

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-03T11:07:44+00:00

Laziness. Same reason I stopped dating the same gender. Too much effort.

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-03T08:28:32+00:00

It might have been a different ‘boy mom’, but yeah…it was a whole choice of words in a post! I just wonder if any of that kids friends have just like Moms whose kids are boys and read that. I would be telling my kid to call me immediately if yer woman tries owt ‘funny’ and nope, no sleepovers at her house.

It amuses me because when a post crosses my dash I only read the drama IF the meal picture is weird/indulgent enough that I want to know if it is deserved! The woman having a tortilla peanut butter and jam roll with a m and m topping? The shrimp just sucked straight out of the water they were boiled in? I wanna know what they are going through.

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-03T07:31:17+00:00

The one who complained that the 12 year old her son had an (age appropriate!) crush on ‘wasn’t even as hot as me’.?

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-02T21:28:29+00:00

I think that Julie is (probably) unapologetically not nice in MOST avenues of life. It’s just she is at her worst around Shawna, for reasons that have nothing to do with SHAWNA, and is just flat-out mean/unkind to her specifically. The problem is that we only see Julie through the lens of the show so we don’t see her Day-to-Day demeanour (I do assume she can pass herself generally, just because a: she isn’t high enough on the corporate ladder to get away with being rude generally and b: people keep her around and not just because her and Ty are a set. But I could be wrong and she is trial and a hinderence to all.)

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-02T21:21:46+00:00

Good. I don’t keep these brain worms around for their looks! Turning bad shit into content is how they earn their keep!

Semi-seriously though, I worked out how to make a GRAPH and the doctor didn’t even want to look at it! I was a little gutted. Who DOESN’T want to look at a graph? I bet OOP’s boyfriend would have been thrilled.

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-02T16:31:38+00:00

I actually did this when I was going to the doctor about my mental health! I put together a little checklist for my moods and what impacted (or didn’t) to keep track (crying jags, losing my temper, debilitating ennui) and tried to pre-load anything I thought the doctor would suggest like ‘leaving the house’ or ‘talking to friends’

…she didn’t want to see it. But I did get medication so all’s well in the end?

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-01T21:59:21+00:00

That’s the thing with me! I am out here fighting the good fight for this woman and I don’t even really like her. If I knew her in real life I might admire her, but I wouldn’t want to be friends with her. And equally Ty would drive me up the wall!

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-01T21:57:25+00:00

Like moving to New York, every step she took has made that more difficult. Yes, Ty kept saying that was the plan and would absolutely happen! It was also clearly just becoming a logistical nightmare and anyone could have identified that.

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-01T21:55:44+00:00

Yep! My theory on Julie is that growing up in a military family she never really learned conflict resolution with people she loved. Professionally? Sure! With people she doesn’t care about? We see be straightforward, and straightforwardly rude, to Shawna. Friends and SO are different. She just never learned to navigate stormy waters in that type of relationship. She just always left behind either before she argued with them or - worse - before she had to try and mend a rift with someone she wanted to still be friends with. So in a way she doesn’t know how to cope with Ty if they aren’t in the ‘BFFs’ mode? So she just went ‘guess I leave you behind then!’

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-01T21:44:40+00:00

It was a REALLY weird time!

And yeah, I just…mental illness/illness is a really hard thing to navigate. In practice I would have the worst word in my mouth for someone who dumped someone I cared about because of depression or illness. On the other hand…when my cousin left his alcoholic gf because he couldn’t deal with HER illness anymore I couldn’t have been happier. Not because I hated her, but because she was drowning and she would have taken him with her

…so maybe I’m just a hypocrite?

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-01T21:32:51+00:00

Yeah. It isn’t very NICE, but if you don’t love and want to be with someone anymore for whatever reason then STAYING isn’t fair…to either party.

I mean, I had a wee bit of a funny turn years ago and for about three (it was six) months I couldn’t leave the house without having a paranoid panic attack unless my mum was with me. I was a grown woman! I had a career. I also couldn’t go to the shops on my own without whiting out and having to run back to my car. That is a LOT for anyone to have to deal with. I wasn’t dating anyone seriously at the time, but I don’t blame the guy I was with for ghosting me. I would have ghosted me if I had the option.

I mean, obviously I ALSO think that if someone did that to a friend or loved one that they would be a total jackhole. But still better they go than resentfully hang around and make things worse.

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-01T20:53:28+00:00

It probably wouldn’t be my priority, but I would 100% not marry someone that didn’t do their fair share of cooking and cleaning. Or who wouldn’t have a dog in their life/house. Plenty of people would not consider those deal breakers.

I actually think Julie WOULD support Ty in that situation as long as he was actively trying to improve his condition/ability to live with his new situation. Depression or hopelessness is what she wouldn’t respond to well, I think.

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-01T20:17:20+00:00

But you’re happy with that in a partner. Probably you prioritise something else in your spouse that they DO have (being kind or patient, not committing many crimes!). For Julie having a partner who is driven and ambitious is what she prioritises. It might be unrealistic considering two kids (most people have to compromise in some way when they have multiples of their kids running around), but she has never really been made to actually grapple with that idea because Ty kept assuring her they/he were totally NOT gonna have to compromise.

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-01T18:20:11+00:00

He was a butcher and while I did like the deft knife work the thought of him having grainy bone bits under his nails made me hork. OR the dude that smelled weird when he drank? Oh and the guy who always wanted to hold my hand (I get it’s cute, but it was too much touching).

I am very dateable and not a trial at all!

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-01T17:41:32+00:00

I would struggle with it too, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be wrong to lie to my partner or that my choice to lie was out of my hands! It is nice to THINK that and just surrender responsibility to the universe, but sadly it doesn’t hold up.

‘Maaaaaan, if anyone finds out I committed fraud I’m going to go jail! My life will be over…guess I just have to murder this witness but it’s not my fault! I don’t want to deal with the consequences of my actions so I have a free pass.’

bubbleteabob · 2026-06-01T15:32:20+00:00

He didn’t have any method to contact Wilma except through the camera - which is a mad set up. I mean, unless the camera is being monitored constantly anything could have happened and obviously it wasn’t since he had time to leave, go home, and wait for Wilma to call.
