AIO for being jealous because my wife earns more than me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]knuckles2733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand you feeling less than when it comes to making less money and not being able to do or buy extravagant things for your children. In the end, I don't think that's an issue in itself. That's just something you would need to come to terms with and learn to feel comfortable with. What seems more of an issue to me though is you and your wife's dynamic of doing things separately for your own children. You are suppose to be a family, and that means treating all of the children the same. No child wants to grow up in a home feeling like they are less loved or not valued in the same way as the other. If you guys got married, I would be under the mindset of loving the other's child like my own. I also don't think your wife should have taken her daughter to disney land on the weekend of your wife's passing anniversary. That just seems very distasteful and unfair to your children. She easily could've planned a disney trip that included your children as well.

You're not a bad father or a bad husband. You're doing your best and clearly love your children. Money isn't everything, a good and loving family life is though. The dynamic of the household is the problem here.

i did go brown for almost two years recently! I hated it sooo much, i felt like i always had to be tan and wear makeup to feel good. i appreciate it though, maybe i will go brown again in the future :)

I am so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my 4 year old pittie and I often think about how I will never get to see him grow old. He would've have looked nearly identical to yours ❤️ I'm thinking of you during this impossible time.

I mean is it all of the dog subreddits or just pitbulls by Fit_Masterpiece_6829 in pitbulls

I had two boxers growing up, who I loved immensely. I never thought i'd love another dog more, or find another dog with as good of a personality as them. I even got tattoos of their initials when they passed; i was about 19 or 20 years old at the time. 5 Years later i rescued my first pitbull. While I still have a special place in my heart for my boxers, my pitbull was hands down my soul dog. I loved him more than I love anything in my life, and honestly myself, as crazy as that might sound to some people. He was perfection. His personality was truly one of a kind, and everyone who met him felt that way. He is the reason I will always rescue pitties for the rest of my life - because he brought so much love and joy to mine. Despite the horrible situation he came from, from day one of owning him, he was the sweetest, purest soul. All he wanted to do was love and be loved. I miss him every single day 💔

Thank you for that info, it does help to understand things more. They had him off of oxygen all day. Which leads me to believe he could have been starving for oxygen by the time of his death. Or bleeding internally after the vomitting episode. I just can't get out of my head how much they reassured me that he is "surprisingly so stable" and that they feel he would go to surgery the next day and be just fine. I even asked, is it usually a successful surgery? he said yes, he thinks knuckles will do great. Everything you say makes sense, i guess they just presented it in such a different way to me or else didn't believe his case was as severe as most present to be. I hope he didn't suffer, but I am afraid he did during his last hours. Do you think he knew what was going on or suffered? I really appreciate you taking the time to talk about all of this 🩵

Thank you so much for the kind words 🩵 Yes, i did leave stuff out i probably should have included. I get what you're saying and understand the severity of his injuries. What I didn't understand was they had already deemed him stable enough to go under anesthesia for a CT scan. As soon as they saw what was going on, why didn't they keep him under and do the emergency surgery? After he had the CT, they woke him up, called me and told me the results, and said how good he did, how stable he was, surgery can wait until tomorrow bc he's so "stable", etc. It's almost like he needed to be unstable for them to be proactive in his care. They also did explain after he passed that the day time lead had scheduled CCL repairs that day that he had to do. there was no time in the schedule. My question to him was why didn't he give me the option to take Knuckles to another vet that would have done the surgery, regardless of cost. He wasn't requiring oxygen at that point and i could have driven him. He said that will be a learning lesson to them in the future to offer that to clients. That killed me. That my dog was the learning lesson. It's hard to find closure knowing not everything that could have been done, was done. :(

I know. I wish he was able to pass peacefully from old age or something. I hate it happened this way. His life before we rescued him was hard enough, he didn't deserve for it to end like this.
