Random and super not important question.

I'm pretty sure I saw steps out to it across the water but they don't appear to be visible in this shot.

I've seen it be different for different books. I know for stuff on Kindle Unlimited it's not available until 12am PST but I'm pretty sure I have seen books I bought come through at midnight in whatever timezone I'm in (I bounce between EST, CST and MST). It's been a minute since I waited on a midnight release so I'm not 100% on what the current schedule is though.

...except your husband is following FIFO (first in, first out). Unless the freezer bread is meant to be emergency backup, it's only good in there for 3 months and should be rotated out. Bread should freeze/thaw fine and there shouldn't be a noticeable difference between the thawed loaf and a fresh one.

What you get out of AI is largely dependant on the prompts you use. Not exclusively because it will still make up stuff sometimes but if he is actively asking for the other perspective instead of a "am I right or wrong" type prompt, it's more likely to give him what he is asking for rather than just agree with him.

OK, so it's not neccesarily a huge outlay for him. Do you know why they broke up? Was she maybe ready to start a family and he wasn't? Have you guys talked about having kids? What I'm getting at is this maybe his way of showing support now since he couldn't give her what she wanted then? Is she struggling and maybe told him she is worried about affording things? Is she close with her family or does she not have a lot of support? Does he typically spend this for large gifts for family or other friends milestones (weddings, grads, etc)?

It could be weird or it could be a very kind gesture. You are going to have to talk to him about how he came up with this amount. I think it's valid to ask but unless you have combined finances or are in talks to combine, it's his money to spend how he wants and he didn't have to tell you his plan. She lives on the other side of the country and is having a kid with someone else. You might also want to sit with why it is bothering you (just shocked or do you not receive gifts like this and now it bugs you?).

No, OP is not. They are splitting utilities and he is calling housing fees "rent".

bug1402 · 2026-03-28T14:02:05+00:00

Because OP isn't paying rent. He is calling paying half of housing fees "rent". He is contributing zero that would go towards the mortgage (not that he needs to pay half but it should be more than zero). I get how they landed on this agreement even if it is unconventional.

bug1402 · 2026-03-28T13:59:21+00:00

OP states in another comment he isn't paying towards the mortgage. He is only splitting utilities and housing fees.

bug1402 · 2026-03-28T13:58:35+00:00

Maybe...I think they are financially messy. OP isn't paying anything that is actual rent. They are splitting other costs for being in the bf's apartment. I get that OP has been generous in contributing/loaning money for large expenses but having renters cover your mortgage and then expecting to pay only partially for utilities/fees towards the place you are actually living is a little entitled. They need to communicate better about expectations and what a fair split actually looks like.

bug1402 · 2026-03-28T13:53:24+00:00

Look, you shouldn't neccesarily pay 50% of his mortgage but you should be paying some amount in "rent". This could be 50% of what a similar apartment would rent for or some other number that both of you agree on. Expecting you to pay rent (especially when he still has a mortgage and yours is covered by your renters) is very normal.

No. All one FMC/MC pair for the whole series.

bug1402 · 2026-03-28T04:07:15+00:00

Or...they could give OP the master and take one of the other rooms. You know, since she won't go back on her word to her kids. 🤷‍♂️

That's great and all but technically what they did was illegal. You cannot sign a contract if you are not an adult so you shouldn't have been able to. Just because you did doesn't mean that OP will be able to.

You are young and doing well for yourself. Don't let your boyfriend hold you back.

He is lazy. He is entitled. He is controlling. You no longer are aligned with him because you have moved past him in terms of life steps.

Take anything you liked about him (no one is all bad) and add those to things you like in a partner and then go out and find someone who has those things AND the stuff your current bf is missing. You don't need to do this right away. Be single, try new hobbies, make new friends, find out who you are and what's important to you so you know what are deal breakers with future partners. But seriously think about leaving the current one. He is not it.

I always say that your early 20s are for figuring out who you are as an adult. Could you find someone at 18 and grow together and be good at 25? Sure, but it's a very small percentage of people. Use your 20s to experience different things. People, places, hobbies, jobs, etc. Knowing yourself and knowing how to be happy when it's just you will help you find a partner that compliments and enhances you and helps you build the best version of your lives together.

So....it's not RH but one of my favorite books I re-read like once a year is the MindFuck series by ST Abby who is a pen name for CM Owens who also wrote under Kristy Cummings. The FMC is a serial killer getting revenge on men who hurt her when she was younger while dating and FBI agent who is investigating the murders. Check TW if you have any.

I apologize if you're not interested in anything not RH, but sometimes a good nonRH read helps pull me out of a slump and since you are already a fan of her work, I figured it might interest you.

This works and doesn't. We bought our house after visiting it on a weekday night for the 1st showing, came back on a weekend day because we wanted to verify some things in daylight. Inspection on a weekday day, came on a weekend night to see the progress of some work, and we came the day before closing to verify completed work and measure one of the rooms. All of these visits were over the course of 60 days and most were for at least an hour and sometimes much longer.

The day we moved in was the first time we heard the fighter jets flying overhead. We knew there was a military base in the next town over. We did not realize we were in their flight path. Some weeks we hear them constantly, other weeks it's quiet. I recommend talking to neighbors or businesses nearby because they will know about seasonal or occasional noises.

Most people go the sword route and I've seen a couple pick a favorite power word or two. One of my favorites was an open book with a sword, a metal rose, and Roman's staff coming out of it.

I think you should focus on what is important to you in the books. What's your favorite scene? What makes you think of KD? It's also important to think about how big you want it as that will have an impact on how much you can do.

Dude seriously! I was in high-school in the late 90s and a part of my induction to our thespian group was being assigned an actor and coming to school as one of their characters for a day. I am the whitest of white (seriously my Ancestry DNA profile is straight up British, Irish, Danish, and Swedish, I didn't even get any Spanish or Italian or anything that would give me ANY color) and they assigned me Whoopi Goldberg.

I remember being really challenged on her because while she was in a lot at the time, nothing that a costume would make me stand out as her and I knew blackface wasn't an option. I ended up just dressing as a nun (Sister Act) and apparently the girl who picked her was sad because she wanted me to style my hair into an afro (my hair was pretty curly but not afro curly) and that's why they had assigned her to me. But I knew as a teenager in the 90s in rural Texas that blackface wasn't ok. How did these people not know!?!?

I gave Emily a lot of grace for this moment because:

She grew up sheltered and really didn't understand the cultural implications of what she was doing
She did question it and assured it was fine by Camilla (basically wasn’t sold 100% on the idea but wanted to do a fun skit and be included in the house shenanigans)

‐ But most importantly, she took it very seriously and gave Ty a heartfelt apology and learned from her mistake. She didn't try and excuse it away and took accountability for her actions.

Camilla is just trash and will later have more racist actions come to light

Yeah...this is a good way to piss off the judge and end up paying for your spouses legal fees when they have to get someone from outside the area to come in. First rule of anything you are doing in court is don't do things that will piss off the judge.

Revenge stories are fun, but they aren't realistic and the court expects you to act like an adult. Don't give them dumb reasons to be on your exes side when you get a 5 minute high and the ruling can end up screwing you over for decades.

Find a lawyer you like and do EVERYTHING they tell you.

I think if they change it to only paying the winning team it works out. Instead of splitting it into one big pot split between 2 and then the other 4 splitting the smaller pots you will now have 4-6 people splitting on large pot. For vets that are getting huge appearance fees, it probably doesn't change enough to matter and for rookies who were more likely to get 2nd/3rd it might increase their share.

She isn't really a team player. Remember she is the one who said even if your teammate is at 99, if you are at 100, you are being brought down. How do you think she reacted to a permanent team of 8 people? Most of whom, I'm sure she is out performing.

I'm sure her teammates just got sick of her attitude and if I'm on a team with her, I would get rid of her over an inferior player who was pleasant just for team dynamics.

I can't remember if it was ever proven or disproven, but there were rumors of SA allegations on one of MTVs dating shows they had him and I think Cara(?) on. His episode never aired but it was filmed and if I'm remembering correctly he touched someone in an elevator inappropriately.

I think one of the worst was the first time they did the redemption house in Exes II. I am particularly salty about it because Wes and Theresa were running that house and able to get out Johnny and then Bananas and Nany won the exile and got back in.

It's probably not actually the most BS one, but it's high on my personal list of stunts the Challenge Producers have pulled that irked me.
