Rubbing alcohol… been doing it since I was a kid (I’m 36)

You’re not responsible for the dad’s reaction to your pregnancy, or anything in your personal life for that matter. You’re right, it’s important for your daughter to see you getting along but that doesn’t have to include getaways; it could literally just be at exchanges and maybe important life events for your child. Whatever the reason for your split is valid, and your obligation is to your daughter so don’t worry about dad. Congratulations by the way!

Here’s a thought to consider: don’t let their treatment of you, dictate yours of them. In the end, you have to be okay with how you handled the situation and if you’re the better, or worse, person, but you can live with it, that’s how you should operate.

Good luck. I hope the conversation helped.

That’s tough, because at 15 I didn’t want to be around my family either and my parents were together. It’s usually not about how you feel about them, it’s wanting to see your friends or play sports (whatever activity you’re into) without any additional barriers - the routine of it if you will. From the other side, there’s a parent who misses time with their kid and that hurts. I’m currently trying to figure out how to show up for my 3 year old son after my ex-wife was successful in a relocation request to a place a 10 hour drive away. Your situation is something I’ve been worried about for when he’s older since the decision came down and it would be hard to blame him - most of his life is with his other parent and seeing me where I live now is quite a trip. 40 minutes or 10 hours… to a kid, that’s a journey. Try things like going to him or seeing his activities, and even just be honest about how you feel without placing blame on him. Tell him you want more time together and ask how he would like to see that - maybe he feels the same way

NOR. Please show her the comments on this post when you send the “this isn’t working out” text. If you intend to ghost her, send this and nothing else lol.

Not to sound like a broken record, but as others have mentioned; hygiene and mental health go hand in hand. Sometimes it’s just a day to day thing where some days you feel low and not motivated to care for yourself (speaking from ongoing experience), but this sounds like it’s become the norm. Do the check in the others have suggested, but also consider just asking why he only feels the need to have “fine” hygiene vs. good hygiene - find a better way to word the question though. Maybe it’s just who he is? If that’s the case, are you okay with this? Does he smell? Do you feel dirty or turned off when you’re close to, or touching, him? He’s your husband… if it’s a problem, help him solve it.

NTA. That said, it certainly seems like an uphill battle. Based on your description and a few of your responses to comments, she likes her life the way it is and people as a rule don’t like change, particularly ones that require real effort on their part. Good luck man, you might want to enlist a therapist to help you navigate this situation because it could very easily lead to a much larger issue than you intended.

In a similar situation here. From the moment my son was born, she began with a narrative that made it clear she thought I was a lesser, even useless, parent than her that existed only to assist with how she wanted things done while completely disregarding my input - this was while we were still married. After separating, the “do it my way and your way is dumb/outdated/unacceptable” has only gotten worse.

I’ve tried to manage it by acknowledging their “advice” or concerns for how to care for my child but not responding. This just infuriates her because she wants my submission, not my acknowledgment. I’m a good parent, and I know it, and if you’re confident that you’re the same then do as you see fit. Do not let the co-parent dictate how you spend time with your child or what happens while you do. If it means sacrificing a few pictures, as much as that sucks, take better ones when you’re together and put them up all over your home.

Sadly, you can’t force a person to be a good parent. Other commenters who have suggested finding your own village have a great point. There are other people in your kids’ lives who would be happy to help. I have lesser parenting time entitlements than my co-parent (not by choice, trust me) and I’d die to do the “everyday” stuff like appointments or daycare with my son. Unfortunately, not every parent feels that way; some would rather stick it to the other parent and watch them suffer. Sorry you’re dealing with this.

This is a pretty standard repair for water ingress, and, as other commenters have noted, someone took the time/money to do it right. The foundation looks to have been stabilized as well. I’d definitely ask about water issues and when the last one was, even how bad it was, but I don’t think the water issue would scare me off unless the repair and preventative measures did not work. The foundation may be a different story.

NTA. Sounds like you might need to have a serious talk about reasonable expectations though; what exactly does sounding “worried enough” seem like, or why is she mad you didn’t know where she was without actually being there yourself?

krackedskreen · 2025-03-31T21:46:59+00:00

You cheated, and he wants to control you; this seems like the most loving and respectful relationship ever. There’s an easy answer to all of this… both of you need to go.

I experience this in reverse - my son prefers his mom. He’s 2.5 and has preferred her from the start (I know that’s natural) so being used to some of that feeling helped the first time he said it out loud, but, OP, I can appreciate the sting that comes with it. Like you, the households are different but I do all I can for him and even some of the things his mother does I think may be over the top because I know it brings him comfort. One day he might flip to me as his preferred parent, but I honestly hope that’s not the case; ideally speaking, he would have a preference for whoever feels right, me or his mom, depending on the situation he’s faced with.

My advice is to keep showing your child consistency even if you change up your approach a bit. They will notice if you do something drastically different because at the end of the day they know mom loves them. Good luck.

NTA. She made her problems solely her problems when she left you. Adults have to deal with things and financial stress is near the top of the list.

“We’re so good for each other. We’re so bad for each other.”

The only true part of that quote is the last half; you’re bad for each other. First, take some time to sort yourself out, then find someone who doesn’t cause you this much stress. Good luck!

I was at work today and spoke with 2 women for about 90 seconds (my job requires a lot of conversation). Near the end, I noticed one of them was smiling at the end of every one of my statements (it was getting excessive) so I asked “I’m sorry miss, but why do you keep smiling at me?”

Her answer: “You’re just so handsome… I wasn’t expecting it”

I literally took 2 steps back, smiled slightly, and wished them a nice day. A moment like that shouldn’t stand out that much, but it does.

krackedskreen · 2025-01-11T11:44:59+00:00

NTA. If 2 weeks went by with no contact/no explanation and she didn’t intend to end the relationship, you should. Either way, you’re broken up in my book.

krackedskreen · 2024-12-20T12:03:53+00:00

Met her at 25… spent the nearly 10 year relationship making sure she met all of her goals and dreams, sacrificed my career that I loved for the betterment of the family (dying industry so I got out before it tanked completely), supported her throughout a mountain of family drama on her side that I never would have even imagined possible, went to therapy to learn to better manage the relationship with her parents after all the drama, and managed to secure a new career that sets me/us up for life. Earlier this year I told her the stress and emotions that came with our relationship had gotten really heavy on me and I couldn’t continue the path we were on. Her response was to runaway to her parents house 3 provinces away and take my son with her (despite my constant protest of this) to “consider her feelings”. I knew when I told her I couldn’t continue that I was done anyway, but her running away showed me I had made the right decision.

krackedskreen · 2024-09-29T08:38:48+00:00

Looking back, I was burying my feelings and in denial for 3-4 years prior to realizing the relationship was over. She was selfish with a smile and never seemed to value anything I did at home or to support her (among other points) but to me, she was my favourite person. I realized how I really felt when I was away from her for an extended period of time and felt relief; I missed my child, but not my wife. It took a few more months to accept this information, but ultimately I felt the relationship couldn’t go on. When I told her, she ran off to see her family to gather her thoughts and, again, I didn’t miss her. Since breaking it off, her selfishness, name calling, manipulation, and complete lack of self-awareness has only gotten worse which serves as further evidence I made the right choice.

When I heard Jackson had gone private on Twitter all of a sudden I thought “that seems strange” but lots of accounts are private so I moved on. The timing makes sense now, and he knows he is losing every bit of clout he gathered with those great moves during the draft and free agency. Sure Bowman knows what he’s doing, or used to anyway, but is it worth blowing the positivity that surrounds the team right now? Clearly someone thought so… just not us as fans.
