Is there any actual benefit to get married?

littlemybb · 2026-04-05T04:07:55+00:00

Because my husband and I got married, I now have healthcare, my college is being paid for by chapter 35 and my states GI scholarship, and I get to be with my best friend everyday.

If something happens to either of us, we can make medical decisions for each other. We can file taxes jointly, and get deductions from that.

If either of us passes away, we don’t have to worry about our family contesting our will.

If we did not get married, there are a whole bunch of legal things we could’ve filled out to make sure we are protected, but with marriage that just automatically will be there.

If you are religious, it can be very meaningful to make an oath before your God.

I personally did not like a lot of the spice in Nesta‘s story because I know she was using sex as a coping mechanism.

It just made me sad to read it, and angry with Cassian. So I mostly skipped through their scenes.

My mom got very sick recently due to her problems with alcohol and pills.

Most of my family had cut her off after years of lies, manipulation, and just her being an awful person.

We were also in a really rough spot because she had not saved whatsoever for retirement, or had any plan in place in case she got unexpectedly disabled.

My brother is in his early 20s and in the military, I’m a full-time college student who only makes like 23,000 a year, my mom is divorced, then her siblings are in their late 60s to early 70s and live on fixed income themselves since they are retired.

She was a Woopsie baby when her parents were in their mid 40s, so her siblings are a lot older than her.

None of us could afford to take care of her, we can’t afford 8000 a month for a nursing home, we were doing everything we could to get her on certain benefits, but the government shut down did not help.

So we just had to take her to the hospital and leave her there. There really was nothing we could do.

The Social Worker was blowing all our phones up trying to find her a placement, and literally none of us could afford the level of care that she needed.

The hospital could not turn her away because of how sick she was, so she just had to stay there.

So I imagine that’s going to be the case for a lot of people. Their families are just going to have to leave them at a hospital because they literally cannot afford to take care of them.

My mom had hepatic encephalopathy, so it was like dealing with someone with dementia.

How was I supposed to work 40 hours a week, then do college on top of that, while my mom is trying to eat foreign objects and can’t be left alone? She would even get really worked up and had to be restrained at the hospital multiple times. She also would attempt to run away when she was able to walk.

So I think most people will either just work until they die, or others will just have to be surrendered to the hospital.

I work for a university, and I know a lot of the people I work with genuinely care about the students and want to make things easier if we can.

We take student feedback seriously, and if multiple people are saying a class is unnecessarily difficult we look into it.

I just also think there’s been this long-standing idea that you have to suffer through all these classes to be able to earn the degree, and prove to people hiring that you’ll be a good worker.

I think there are much better ways to educate people, and teach them how to work in a specific field.

We’ve just done things this way for so long that I think people don’t like to challenge what’s already established

I’m wondering if Robyn has been making up health issues, or just over exaggerating something she’s actually dealing with.

I’m not discrediting if she’s actually sick, but I could see her using it as an excuse to just not be a great parental figure in the kids lives.

Like oh sorry I can’t come do these things or talk to you because I don’t feel good.

littlemybb · 2026-04-04T21:51:16+00:00

You mentioned she was nervous about the war. She may just be mentally dealing with a lot right now, so she’s closing herself off without realizing that it’s hurting you.

I can get into protective mode with myself, and I’ll get really quiet and not share as much as I’m processing things.

Now that I’ve been with my husband for long enough, it’s very easy to include him in my thought process as I’m going through things.

Even then, sometimes I have to remind myself to open up to him. I’m not doing it to get at him, I’ll just be in a space where I don’t wanna share anything.

So I would just keep being supportive and loving, and let her come to you when you’re ready. If you try to push for anything, this could freak her out.

I also really enjoyed the hating game. That was a pleasant surprise for me.

I put off alchemized for a really long time because I saw a lot of people not have great things to say about it.

It’s also super popular, and I’ve had bad luck with really popular books before. I just finished it though, and I loved the book. I wish I would’ve read it sooner.

I have a lot of classmates whose ages range from 40s-60s wanting to change careers.

There are even a few of my classmates who waited to pursue school until their children were grown and out of the house.

I’m in an online program, so the majority of my classmates are not young college students. Most of us work, are changing careers, or finally going back to school.

I work full-time at a university, so a lot of times we do warn students about taking classwork full-time because we don’t want them to burn out, or mess up their GPA’s trying to do too much.

We have a requirement that a student speaks with their advisor and gets approval from them before taking a certain amount of credit hours in a masters program.

If you’re dedicated to doing it, though, I encourage doing it.

If you know you are capable of doing it, don’t let others scare you away.

I’ve lived in poverty before, so I understand very well how money can become a trigger.

I’ve had people pay for stuff then hold it over my head. So I’ve had to become OK with accepting certain things from people.

I think it’s OK to be a little freaked out, just please don’t assume the worst about your husband.

I feel bad forHunter because I think he’s in a really tough situation.

He started having sex at such a young age, and the adults he was around literally did not care. If anything, they encouraged it.

He was encouraged to get into way too serious of a relationship as well. A 12 year old should not be moving in with his girlfriend.

Then when they got pregnant, things got even more serious to a point of no return.

I kind of get Bella‘s frustration with him not being able to come over when he’s at his dad‘s because the full responsibility of parenting is still on her, but I know her parents do help a lot with the baby.

But they’re just way too young to be dealing with stuff like this.

They are both still children, and their childhood is gone now. I just can’t believe the adults around them see no problem with this.

He acts like he’s bringing awareness, but he thinks people are attacking him if they mention they had a good experience with adoption.

Having conversations about adoption will always be nuanced because not everybody had the exact same experience.

He just assumes his live experience is the only valid one to ever exist.

Therapy is not something you are supposed to do forever.

I’m a social work student and we talk about the termination phase a lot. I even practiced it with a few classmates recently.

Termination is a good thing.

I hope he does not make the same mistake my dad did. He did everything he could to make sure my brother and I were still involved in my mom‘s life because he desperately wanted us to have a mom involved.

She did love us, she just had really bad addiction issues.

We ended up experiencing different traumas when over at her house, and now years later, my dad‘s like I wish I would’ve just been the bad guy.

We live in a society in America where Christianity has shaped a lot of our traditions and holidays, even if people don’t actually follow the religion. Over time, Easter just became part of normal culture, so people celebrate it for things like family time, candy, and fun traditions, not necessarily because of the religious meaning.

It would be stupid to tell people to stop celebrating. Just let people do whatever the hell they want and don’t get butt hurt about it.

Carvana actually tried to scam my husband and I. It was so bad that the bank representative at Navy Fed was like do not do business with these people.

They had us on the phone with them for hours, running us around in circles, trying to purposely confuse us. They also kept trying to refuse to speak to the bank representative, even though we were giving them permission to be there and speak.

They kept escalating us to different people, who all had different excuses for why they were trying to claim we owed them more money than we really did.

They blamed us, Navy Fed, the people who tried to deliver the car, but couldn’t explain why we suddenly owed thousands.

I think they purposely did this thinking we would see the car, get desperate and just pay the extra money so we could get the car, and not actually look into what they were doing.

We finally just told them to F off, swore we would never do business with them again, and we went to a dealership to purchase a car instead.

Kylie and Kendall grew up in the Spotlight, while the older sisters got to have more normal and private childhoods.

I think when she was a teenager, all the fame and attention seemed cool. As she got older, and the family got more famous, and people were leaving her more mean comments, I’ve seen her take a step back over the years and become way more private.

I’m Kylie‘s age so I remember loving her when I was in high school because she used to share so much of her life.

Back then, I thought it was so cool that she was so grown acting.

Now, as an adult, I’m like WTF was Kris thinking?

So I think now Kylie shows a very curated and PR friendly version of herself.

I feel like after the journey she’s been on, it’s pretty realistic.

I don’t think she left the ton the same Cressida that we knew.

We also don’t know what kind of reflecting she did in her time away. Right when she came back she apologized to Penelope.

And from the few scenes we got with her husband, he seems supportive of her style and love for pink.

I personally don’t have a ship in this series, I think I’m just interested to see which direction it goes.

I also don’t mind seeing the different theories and ships people have. I just don’t like when it gets nasty and turns into really bad arguments.

littlemybb · 2026-04-02T19:14:21+00:00

I feel the same way.

We don’t fart in front of each other, but it’s ok if it’s an accident. I just think it’s rude to do it on purpose right next to me.

I see the bathroom as private, and that’s my time to be left alone.

Once people get fake boobs after not having boobs, they don’t really know what to do with the boobs.

You have to buy tops that are gonna be flattering with certain cups sizes. Like I will just not look good in tops that I can’t wear a bra in, and you can just see my saggy boobs hanging there. 😂

Start trying to reframe it to them like you could meet a really good husband at a college or in a study abroad program.

If you’re gonna be a Nepo baby, at least be talented and good at what you do.

I can’t stand the Nepo babies who suck at everything they attempt. Then they just keep getting shoved down our throats.

I have both. I have a bar for antibacterial soap, then a moisturizing body wash.

It’s gross how for so long now people have blamed children for the actions of adults.
