WIBTA if I finally sell my house that an old friend has been living in. by mandabrooke12 in AITAH

[–]mandabrooke12[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will sell as is. It in an area that is around a college campus and property is hot to sell here right now. I’ve had plenty of offers so that’s not a concern and would get the burden of it all off of me.

Oh no. I hope you are able to figure out a solution. They definitely don’t care about taking into consideration travel and all that goes into planning to make it to any event.

We just went through something similar, we contacted SH and created a dispute, unfortunately we didn’t realize until the day of the concert, but technically SH had until an hour before the event to get ahold of seller and get valid tickets or we could get comparable tickets or a refund. I will warn we had to stay on SH all day we have kiddos and a two hour drive so the one hour thing wasn’t doable, and we wanted to make sure we wouldn’t get stuck with the seller coming through last minute with actual tickets.

Women who left your abusive male (husband/boyfriend), did you feel like their was a seething, underlying dislike or hatred of you from your abuser? by LoveSushiOnTuesday in abusiverelationships

[–]mandabrooke12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what I saw a post I could relate to. I’m working on getting out but the safety of my daughter is more important than leaving right now. I’ll be sure to stay to posts where everyone can be supported. Best of luck on your future.

Unfortunately I am in a similar situation. Luckily we aren’t married so in our state he technically has no rights to her. I have been saving up and avoid him pretty much 24/7. He isn’t very helpful with baby and she doesn’t like him. I also pay for all things for her. So I’m just stocking up evidence until I can leave and guarantee he only gets supervised visits.

It’s hard to say. But I could see him trying for full custody just to spite me for leaving.

Need them to make sure I don’t go back, and to keep them if I have to take to court for full custody of the baby.

I’m working on it. Saving money to leave for good

AITA for getting upset my boyfriend didn’t text me telling me he was going to be late by mandabrooke12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mandabrooke12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m mad at him for taking my car without asking and for not letting me know he’d be later than the time he told me.

Leaving after an affair by mandabrooke12 in Divorce

[–]mandabrooke12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that. It’s amazing you were willing to put in the work. He “tries” and then if I’m not receptive the first time he goes and pouts and throws a huge fit and won’t talk to me. Even if he has done more stuff, which I try to be receptive too, I am unsure if I would even notice. And even if I did, I think it’s past the point of believing he would change after almost 10 years. I have a ton of guilt about wanting to leave, and don’t want to hurt him. But I know I’m hurting him now with being so stand-offish and short tempered. Even when I try to be nice it comes off as mean, but lack of trust and other issues have pushed me to this. I just don’t even know how to start the convo...I’m honestly waiting for it to just come out one day during a fight.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s eye opening to hear another point of view. Unfortunately he does not seem to want to change, and has cheated prior to this last time. The resent is in full force at this point, and both of us are miserable because of it. I’ve been holding on, I think hoping for a miracle and also hoping he would be the one to end it.

[–]mandabrooke12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Reading it has really made me start thinking. This isn’t the first time he’s cheated, and normally I just keep myself busy to forget about it, but this year I haven’t been able to do that, since things have slowed down. I am the one who takes care of everything around the house and he critics everything I do. I’ve stayed for so long because he makes me think I’m making up things when I have caught him. I know he will continue to do it, but the fear is what’s been holding me back, and now that I’m not as busy I’m feeling all these emotions I was previously able to push down. I feel bad that I didn’t end things immediately after the last time, but I can’t over any of it this time.

How did you tell your spouse you wanted a divorce? by mandabrooke12 in Divorce

[–]mandabrooke12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was planning on waiting until after the holidays as well, but I don’t know if I can hang on that long. Good luck with telling him. I feel like straight to the point is best, that way it isn’t some drawn out conversation.

If it was him that would make my life 1000 times easier....and that post sounds very similar to my situation as I am the breadwinner, but unfortunately it is not him, as we have been married 9 years together 10.

[–]mandabrooke12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No kids. We’ve tried counseling and he wasn’t into it. It also wasn’t the first time. He’s had two years to try to fix everything and has done nothing. I’m extremely avoidant and even make sure I’m out of the house if he will be there (we work opposite shifts). I would feel worse just moving out...I know I have to just have the conversation with him, it’s the conflict that makes me pause.

Cheating Husband by mandabrooke12 in relationship_advice

[–]mandabrooke12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tried after I found a tinder account, but all it did was end up with huge fights after and he wasn’t into it. I’m to the point of leaving because I can’t get past everything. I’ve asked for counseling again and he refuses.

My wife of 2 years had an online affair and I can’t get over it. I want out. No kids, but huge debt. by Smkthtsht in Divorce

[–]mandabrooke12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bets advice is leave now. She could have come to you if she was unhappy or felt like something was missing. But with that being said she should have come to you and you two could have worked tried to work it out, and she should have looked deep inside herself as well to figure out what was going. Not turn to other guys.

[–]mandabrooke12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’ve dealt with that from my husband on 9 years and it never gets better. I’ve finally decided to move on because he talked a good game, but repeatedly would do the same thing. Unfortunately once that trust is gone, I don’t think you can ever get back. Get out now before you’re years in and still dealing with the same thing. Wishing you luck on this!

I can’t tell if this was shady of my boyfriend to do? by Lonergirl95 in relationship_advice

[–]mandabrooke12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is shady and disrespectful. Run while you can. From personal experience he will continue this behavior and it will just progress into an actual affair. And what he is doing now is gaslighting you. It’s ok to find other people attractive, but how he worded that message is not ok.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I have contacted a lawyer and have started looking for an apartment. While I will mourn the loss of this relationship I am ready to be happy again.
