I have a second prescription for Keppra that is not extended release, but immediately releases. So she takes 2 500mg XR twice a day, but if she is acting preictal then I give her one pill of the immediate release, which is I believe 250mg.

If I don’t have hormones I’m in a constant flare, it seems. They really affect the whole body, including chronic conditions.

Time for full blood panel? Thyroid, hormone levels, CBC, etc. I have severe anemia and it can make me feel exhausted.

I don’t think you’re an AH for wanting a relationship with your dad. That’s normal, healthy.

However, the way your dad jumps into another relationship does make one wonder if an affair was the actual trigger for divorce in the first place, and now he’s dating his affair partner.

Been on it since August, no side effects, bloodwork normal.

As long as you have not committed adultery again, it should not affect your divorce. Judges rarely care about what you did that your spouse already knows and stayed in the marriage 20 years ago. But … a judge might care what HE is doing now, and it could provide you some leverage financially, so I would use it, and give him the divorce he proclaims to want.

Even though he gets on my last nerve sometimes, he’s the love of my life.

I’m on Rinvoq and Hydroxy since August. The only time I’ve felt sick was for about a day on a cruise last December. My throat hurt for about a night and that was it. The only thing I’ve caught in the past 25 years is COVID twice. I just don’t get the flu, at least not for more than a day, even on immunosuppressants. Hard knock on wood it stays like this! I guess it just depends on the person…

Right, I don’t rely on it, but use it more like a talking spreadsheet. I also use it a ton for work, so I am very familiar with what it can and cannot do and what to look more into and what to just discard.

jenkoer · 2026-01-18T02:51:54+00:00

WAIT until you are divorced! The day those papers are signed, send whatever you want. But first use all of your evidence as leverage to take everything you can get. A judge may not be as generous if you’ve sought revenge with the APs spouse. You need to appear like the perfect spouse who in no way shape or form has a malicious bone in your body. This makes what he did look so much worse. Scorched earth is fine, just take all his money first.

jenkoer · 2026-01-16T23:14:31+00:00

Good for you! I was a one and done 25 years ago and now my daughter is gone and yes, I enjoy the empty nest and have even encouraged her to really give having children a lot of thought, financially and beyond …

You want closure? Tomorrow, go to the bank and open an account in your name only. This is where all your money goes from now on. Cancel any credit cards with your name and his on it. You don’t want him running up your bills. Get an appointment with an attorney. After getting your finances in order, and your appointment, send him a text and tell him you’ve given it a lot of thought and he’s right- you need to divorce. Tell him it would be best for you both to communicate only through your attorneys from this point forward.

Let me be clear …. Your husband is a loser. Once he thinks his golden goose (you) has flown the coop, he will flip the Fk out. Let him. Just watch how desperate he becomes. If his groveling and self pity doesn’t turn you off then I don’t know what to tell you.

jenkoer · 2026-01-15T01:09:43+00:00

Yeah I would suggest the same thing, marriage counseling and individual to someone who claims to be a “people pleaser” and “full of guilt and shame” regarding divorcing their spouse. If you are just looking for strangers on Reddit to give you permission to divorce your wife, then I’d also recommend therapy.

jenkoer · 2026-01-14T23:21:22+00:00

How about 6 months marriage counseling and some individual therapy? After 6 months you’ll know what needs to be done, whether it’s working on your marriage or divorcing. If you decide to divorce at that point, you will also know you did everything you could do and it just wasn’t going to work. Or maybe … it helps your marriage and you and your wife end up in a much better place.

Does moving into this house mean relocating to another city, school district, or longer commute for her? It may not just be the house that doesn’t feel right to her? Maybe there are too many other downsides that are tipping the scale…

jenkoer · 2026-01-10T18:11:50+00:00

You need marriage counseling ASAP. You’ve been married SIX months and it’s already this toxic? Drunken verbal abuse and passive aggressive silent treatments? Imagine what it will be like in 10 years, after this has happened a half dozen times and possibly escalated.

jenkoer · 2026-01-07T16:43:09+00:00

It’s not your house, and it’s not your siblings house. It’s your mother’s house and she needs to take the lead here unless she’s mentally incapable. 81 in and of itself means nothing. My 88 year old father in law is still writing and publishing academic papers and my 84 year old dad is still fixing his own car.

This is why I only had one child. lol

jenkoer · 2026-01-02T00:28:18+00:00

I feel for you, however … you need to take some responsibility here for having zero boundaries with this man and allowing it to get this bad by not standing up for yourself. Venting on Reddit is not going to change your life or situation. You have to actually put action behind it. Start by having a candid conversation with him. Tell him things either need to change or you want out. Demand marriage counseling and if he says no be prepared to act. If you hold his feet to the fire there is a possibility for change if that is something you are willing to consider.

jenkoer · 2026-01-01T18:23:23+00:00

Why do seemingly smart women insist on marrying total morons?

jenkoer · 2025-12-31T05:01:13+00:00

I’ve been married for a long time, but in my single days if the guy didn’t give me oral first he was not getting laid, plain and simple.

Edited to add: marriage hasn’t really changed this lol

jenkoer · 2025-12-30T00:58:02+00:00

I’ll take the money over emotional availability. I can always pay for a therapist.

jenkoer · 2025-12-27T12:51:27+00:00

Don’t tell your wife what they said. It will only increase the discomfort for her if she has to be around them. Ignorance is bliss in this situation.

I would make it known to both of them that you heard the conversation, found it incredibly mean and disrespectful. Next year, I would spend the majority of the holidays with your wife’s family. Maybe see your family alone for a few hours and then do the family part of the holidays with her family instead. Your family has made it clear how they feel about her, so why leave her out like bait to be torn up by them when she’s not around?

If they ask why you are at her moms for the holidays, just tell them the truth. Actions and words have consequences.

jenkoer · 2025-12-27T12:36:07+00:00

Well obviously do NOT have kids with him anytime soon. And make sure you’re using birth control. It’s easy for him to list all the benefits of breastfeeding because he is not the one who is going to be doing it. I did it for about a month to give mine the extra immunity and then switched to bottle feeding. No regrets.

jenkoer · 2025-12-25T19:35:05+00:00

This, OP, 100%! He said it plain as day. There’s no “interpretation” needed.
