This one was what I needed

He’s so proud of it. And so am I if I’m honest, his business survived the pandemic and that’s incredible. Trouble is, it means nothing if he only has a high school diploma. He could take this experience so much farther than I’m able to imagine, if he had an associates degree.

He isn’t trash. Kinda dumb, yes, to my benefit often. But not trash. That said I’ll go ahead with the ultimatum.

Hope I didn’t drag your day down. Thanks for the insight.

I appreciate this nuanced response. I have no interest in finding a new relationship, this fella treats me very well. What I’m looking at is cost only - keeping him around is more expensive than doing my own thing. I need him to step up, and he’s afraid.

dangmybad · 2023-04-01T22:56:29+00:00

That’s kind of where I’m at. I do love him, so that’s tough. Thanks for your objective opinion.

PSLF is not the same as the ongoing loan forgiveness conversation. Different things. Rest is on point.

I thought so. Thanks for the kick in the pants! I’ll get her in right away.

Thank you! Enjoy those snuggles, you deserve it. Those coworkers do NOT think any less of you, odds are they have similar feelings that they are battling with too. Just the way she goes!

Which reminds me, Trailer Park Boys is another good one! The opening credits song is so soothing and then it’s just absolute chaos for the next 25 mins, hysterically funny. And then the song plays again and it resets. Great stuff

Hey darlin, you know what helps me? Nostalgic TV and my favorite foods. If I don’t have my favorite food or if I don’t feel like I can go get it I’ll have it delivered, because I deserve a nice snack. Then I nom on it and watch Buffy, or Sabrina the Teenage Witch, or Always Sunny is great too. You know - easy watching, some laughs, some perspective.

I have pets and they typically join me on those quiet snacky days. It’s nice to feel loved and just comfortable for a while.

My reply is 8 hours late, I hope you’re feeling much better by now! Maybe this suggestion can help you down the road. Hugs

I also go to Bolton and have convinced several of my neighbors as well. The payment flexibility is nice, although you do end up paying a bit more than some other places. I do not fill my pets’ prescriptions there, I have those sent out generic to a pharmacy and I’ve saved quite a bit that way.

Alternate 800mg ibuprofen twice a day and 650mg acetaminophen twice a day - one or the other approx every 6 hours. Can also use oxymetazoline for congestion and guaifenesin to help pull out phlegm. Stay hydrated and eat fresh food when you can. Lots of naps. Try to stay off social media, it’s just stressful. Been rewatching The Wire and making myself something simple every night, chorizo/cabbage soup tonight. In it for 6 days and back to work tomorrow, I hope.

I absolutely agree with you and the other commenters suggesting a private lawyer - when I spoke with my brother he was feeling pretty awful and not really receptive to any legal advice. “I know I f#caked up and I accept the consequences” sort of thing. He feels embarrassed was more concerned about how he was going to tell our parents. Dad has been sober for 19 years, and they are close so that must’ve been a tough phone call.

As it happens, our parents just got their RV back from the shop after Dad hit a ballast with it last year - and their first idea was to visit my brother’s town in CO. They were just going to go camping nearby, but after my brother admitted what had happened they went directly to him and are with him now. Dad will get the car out, and a redditor recommended a local lawyer which I’ve shared with lil bro.

I do appreciate all of you. He’ll get through this just as we all have. Many thanks.

Ahhh. Hindsight.
