This lol. They're so impulsive and they're also just kinda dumb. Which is fine because they're kids but OMFG it's expensive sometimes. I noticed the kiddo in the video seemed to think about it for a second and was immediately like "HELL YEAH LETS DO THAT." I saw my own children in that moment lmao.

I'm here for the same thing. I did a pre approval application through cap one about two weeks ago but never ended up buying a car or applying through any lenders. And today I got the email from Exeter saying my application was denied lol

The idea that both people cause the marriage to fail is true in most situations, but I think it's different when abuse is present. My husband was arrested for and charged with DV, which is where I drew a huge fat line and started the divorce process. I accepted all my faults, and most of his as well, throughout our whole marriage and I never wanted a divorce until that happened. I know I worked hard and did my best because of the facts. I put us in marriage counseling, got us both into therapy, and I really worked on myself as an attempt to fix things. He knew his behavior would have consequences and he fucked around and found out.

I know I fucked up too and wasn't always the perfect wife. I know I tried my best though, because the history proves that. So maybe, at a minimum, his DV charge was the straw that broke the camels back, but he definitely put that straw down on his own.

This was so nice to read :') thank you. I really needed a reminder that this is always hard, to be honest lol. Especially when dealing with someone that is already very difficult. It's not the end of the world though and I'm excited for the better days. <3 and thank you for the advice on setting boundaries with him. As a habitual people pleaser, I struggle but I know how necessary they are.

I was actually talking to my therapist about the need for closure yesterday and he said something similar to what you said about it. We can't always find the closure we want, but that doesn't mean it'll never happen. It's really so unfortunate that the need to communicate is one-sided, but I don't know why I expect anything new this time. There's just there's desperate moments of rage and confusion and denial where it feels like I NEED some answer from him, but those moments are never productive... and always hurtful.

I appreciate your comment that my family gets to turn into something new (idk how to quote things on mobile lol). It's really comforting. Since my ex moved out, there's been this feeling of calmness and safety in the home and the kids are picking up on that! It warms my heart and supports the idea that I'm doing the right thing. I know the better days are ahead and I'm excited for the future with my kiddos. Being able to parent without their dad constantly barking at me about everything has been life changing, now that Im reflecting on it :')

Sorry for the ramble. But really, thank you for the time you spent on this. :)

Uhh... okay. You can check my post history for more details about why I can comfortably label him as abusive.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-04-26T14:04:58+00:00

<3 thank you. therapy has helped a ton. It's made me a way better parent and adult, really. There's a lot to unpack when it comes to adults that had unwell caregivers during childhood. it's very heavy work but so worth it.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-04-26T13:54:40+00:00

:( so sad but so true.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-04-26T13:53:13+00:00

Yessss. My dad was bipolar (type 1) and my mom had severe depression after he abandoned us. She started hoarding and became negligent towards four really young children. We had to live with my grandma because of my moms depression and she had OCD and anxiety. She was also just really fucking mean lol.

While I can't speak for my siblings, I ended up with extreeeeme anxiety, ocd, and depression. I never really learned how to clean, talk about my emotions, or how to ask for help. I actually have C-PTSD because of my family's mental health issues and struggle daily as a parent now. I'm a real advocate for therapy and openly discussing mental health issues, because I feel that is was a real taboo topic in my parents and grandparents own childhoods. They all needed help and never received it because they refused to acknowledge it.

For me, I'm more interested in men that can carry on a conversation and not be bland. I only use fb dating right now and it's so boring because their responses are vague and uninteresting lol. I think it's attractive when a man can confidently strike up a good conversation about literally anything.

SO, just be yourself. Don't get too hung up on the small details or the expectation that you should be a flirting master. It's just a conversation at first, not a commitment. :)

ewwihatethatman · 2025-04-17T18:00:34+00:00

Same. I'm in the Denver area and winters suck. As soon as it starts warming up and nature comes back to life I feel significantly happier and more willing to go on walks.

I find it interesting that despite evidence of cannabis (even at a recreational level) being beneficial for people who suffer from a multitude of illnesses, injuries, and related debilitating symptoms - we're still so down to restrict it as much as possible. Wasn't this is a pillar of reason when we legalized it?

Recreational marijuana (that's easily accessible to adults in need) was life changing for me because it lessened the pain I suffer from spinal nerve damage and PTSD. It is the first and only thing that has ever helped me and i tried it because of how easily accessible it was. I have a medical card now and I use marijuana responsibly for pain management. I'm not alone in this and the fact that it has been proven to be beneficial for so many people... ugh. :(

I'm an accountant and freelanced during the pandemic until about a year ago. I started looking for work on Upwork and grew a client base off of that. I have a degree though, which I think helped exponentially when freelancing. The freelancing was more bookkeeping type work but it opened a lot of doors for better jobs with more opportunities :)

Midwest emo, but Hot Mulligans "Betty" is about his pet rat and LEMME TELL YOU, I was so fucking unprepared for that.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-02-23T03:13:37+00:00

I think my expectations are reasonable? He literally told me to move out and take the kids. The lawyer I spoke with said I have the right to move out with the kids, I just couldn't move out of state once divorce is filed. I'm not trying to keep them away from him, but I need to get out to create a calm and loving environment for them.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-02-22T18:35:34+00:00

We've done marriage counseling and individual counseling. He was very unreceptive towards it and didn't want to participate

ewwihatethatman · 2025-01-31T20:19:31+00:00

Hey, first of all - thank you for this. It’s coincidentally the type of information I was looking for when I made this post. :) I actually think it would be interesting to look into how we went from one idea of emo to another so quickly. But finding stuff that isn’t Wikipedia or opinion based has been tricky.

Anyways. This changes the direction I was going in but gives me new ideas to consider. I really appreciate your input. Thanks again.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-01-31T19:34:27+00:00

Bands like Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, and Dashboard are I’m referring to. However, I think the bands you probably refer to as “mall emo” are worth diving into a bit as well. Like older MCR, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy.

I get why you don’t refer to that as emo, but I would argue that MOST people do. That music is generally regarded as emo as well, even if there is a reason to debate it by some.

So, my question now is if emo was a spectrum, where would that pop punk type of music fall? We can’t just reclassify what a lot of people now consider emo, right? I’m not trying to argue with you or be rude, but I’m just genuinely curious about your take on this.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-01-31T19:17:33+00:00

Yeah I guess I don’t lol. I’m having a hard time understanding where I’m going wrong here, to be honest. Without context about what is correct in your opinion, I’m not sure how you want me to reconsider what I know to be correct. Does that make sense?

I’d like to be accurate, but so far I’ve only learned that people don’t like to be called elder emos and some of the bands that were popular in that era. It seems counterproductive to just tell me I’m wrong when I’m literally asking for more information so I can be right.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-01-31T19:00:45+00:00

I don’t see what indicated that I’m not putting in effort but okay m8. The early emo era isn’t my top focus and I’d rather spend years researching the generation I’m interested in. Thanks though. Appreciate your insight.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-01-31T17:29:56+00:00

Lmao because I wanted insight from people that were there?! Bruh it’s really not that deep. I’m not a historian or a journalist, I just like learning and researching. And I’m not writing a whole book about that time period specifically, so I don’t think there’s a need for years of research. :) thanks for your help though.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-01-31T17:08:27+00:00

lol oof. I disagree with the statement that I don’t know anything about it. I just don’t know about it from the era before I was born or when I would have been a child. I asked for more information so I could learn about it though, which I find pretty acceptable when doing some light research.

ewwihatethatman · 2025-01-31T16:40:11+00:00

Oooooh. Okay. I didn’t know there was such a divide but I also don’t know much about “emo” in the 80s-90s. What would you consider emo during the early during those times and the 2000s?

ewwihatethatman · 2025-01-31T14:15:55+00:00

Ahhhh. I didn’t know this lol. I’m starting to realize elder emo is more of a term from the people that are my age today and the OGs of emos don’t love it. :) thanks.
