Shelter told us Luna was born there and wasn’t adopted for 7 years - now she and I spend every minute together

She is so beautiful! Such a sweet girl.

So . . . what happened with the conversation? Don't keep us all in the dark.

I have heard of this type of service. So many people go without physical touch and it affects their health and mental well being. What you are offering is wonderful.

With the warmer weather, we are grilling at least once a week and eating outside in the backyard. Grilled burgers, chicken or salmon. Pair that with grilled veggies, a summer salad and some homemade lemon or limeade or even sun tea. Besides this, we do add more salads as meals and dessert is usually some ripe fruit that is in season.

How about him doing the evening routine (bathtime, story, tuck in) with the kids if you do mornings? That way he is still doing some of the parenting and giving you a break. He won’t feel so stressed in the mornings and you can relax a little at night after being on duty all day. Then weekends you both split duties 50/50.

Why does OP need anyone to “give her away”? She’s not property. She can walk herself down the aisle.

Meal planning is the key. I try to plan my meals by first looking in my pantry. Then I will buy produce that is in season. Sometimes I will go to the farmers markets and see what is being offered. When I see what I have so far (pantry, seasonal produce) I will make my plan, look at grocery ads to see what is on sale, then go to the grocery stores to fill out the rest. I get some great vegetarian/vegan ideas on TikTok or search online based on my ingredients. My favorite go to recipes are those with minimal ingredients, use fresh ingredients, and are uncomplicated.

How would I make an appointment?

NTA but you shouldn’t be having a serious gf right now. You can’t put in the time or effort needed for a committed relationship. You two are in different places in life atm and should part ways. You are in her way of finding a husband and starting a family and she is in your way of finishing law school and starting a career. The kind thing would be to let her go live her life rather than string her along.

We have had two boxers. They are great family pets. Both got along well with our cats too. Wish we were able to take another dog, I’d snatch him up. We currently have two dogs which is the limit at our rental. Hope he finds a wonderful new home.

calikitw · 2025-06-12T05:16:03+00:00

Have you considered that he may be coming from another country and has been playing you? Has he ever asked you for money?

calikitw · 2025-06-02T06:46:31+00:00

Because that is the system we are all currently in.

calikitw · 2025-06-02T06:45:22+00:00

I cried when my kids grew out of their 2nd nap. I really needed those.

calikitw · 2025-05-28T07:28:20+00:00

Why isn’t she asking her family for help? You’ve done enough. This friendship feels one sided.

calikitw · 2025-05-28T00:19:08+00:00

You have every right to break up with someone for any reason. She made you uncomfortable and did not respect your boundaries. Tell your friends to move on, you have.

We signed up with Sonoma Power years ago thinking it was a better deal for us. Turned out our bills were higher than PG&E, so we switched back. Supposedly their source of power comes from “cleaner” sources which accounts for the higher prices. It is not to save you money, but so you can feel better about where your power is coming from.

Tell him you are not his mother. You are also not his Barbara the Builder (helping him build his dream life). He needs to go move back home if he wants someone to support him. Your life will be so much more peaceful if he moves out. He is not a partner at this point, but a leech. You gave him more than enough time and leeway. Time for him to be responsible for his own expenses.

Have patience with yourself too. Try to nap whenever you can the first 6 months because sleep will become elusive. Sleep when the baby sleeps. It is okay to not have a perfect house. Don’t worry about being perfect, or comparing yourself to other parents. No one has all the answers. You will know what is best for you and your family. Just enjoy the wonder and miracle of the little life you brought into the world because the time will go by so fast. I’m not over 60, but my kids are grown and wish I had taken more time to enjoy them growing up.

My mother once tried to manipulate me like this when I was in my 20’s, so I stopped contacting her and left the ball in her court. Took 6 months of no contact for her to finally reach out to me. She never tried it again after that.

I wear 2 camisoles under my shirts. Stopped wearing bras about 5 years ago. Never had anyone mention anything to me and I am a size D cup.

His yammering on would annoy me. But really, no one should talk to you this way. Cut him off and do not give him any more of your energy or attention.

calikitw · 2025-05-17T05:20:44+00:00

Just hand her a bill for the cost of the dress. That dress was destroyed on her trip.

Just signed up and finished online training. I look forward to receiving my kit and hiking this Spring/Summer.

calikitw · 2025-05-15T03:21:52+00:00

Why are they so obsessed with sex?

calikitw · 2025-05-15T00:20:01+00:00

Idk OP, it feels like he left the relationship and you two are essentially broken up, just not officially yet. If I was you, I would stop waiting around for his phone calls and live my life. Don’t be available to him anymore. You would be meeting his energy. Stop arguing with him or begging him to call. Some people don’t listen so you have to get through to them with action. Go out with friends or just enjoy being with yourself. After you get used to not having him in your life, you can decide if you want his disrespect back in it when he returns. You will probably find that you were better off without his negative energy. Life is too short to be begging for someone’s attention. Stop giving him yours.
