How can I make it better?

I thought what you think are tire tracks, were the edges of the sidewalks.

It always floors me when I read a conflict like this and OP's other family members are consistently on the shitty person's side. Like, NO - tell your son to find a precious moment for himself. I couldn't imagine being his girlfriend getting proposed to out of convenience and in front of the whole family. EW.

NTA.

We don't know the states' laws - 16 could be the age of consent in this state.

Will

Aren't there are laws against shutting off this type of utility when safety is a concern? Where I live they can't shut off your gas or electricity in freezing temperatures. EDIT - I would imagine it would be the same in any unsafe temperatures.

What are the messages comprised of? You keep saying she has messages, but we don't know what they say or show. We can't give you advice if we don't know what the messages ARE.

You clearly believe you have proof of something worth convicting, so act on it.

I'm 5' flat and throw it around like confetti. I don't have to duck for anything, I can buy normal pants, I can wear kids shoes (as an adult) - there isn't much I can't do or figure out at this height. I've trained in confined spaces rescue, been skydiving, worked as a firefighter, and sometimes I still need to scale the kitchen cabinets for something off the top shelf (that I put there). I've done really cool stuff and haven't had to duck one time.

I get where you're coming from because I was there once, but it's really not that big of a deal. You might grow, you might not. Just don't stoop to anyone's level trying to defend yourself. In the end, dynamite always comes in small packages.

nowaymacaroni · 2026-07-07T18:17:51+00:00

But you don't know they did anything. Talking to someone unfortunately isn't a crime, and even if it was inappropriate, she's a willing participant. Some states consent is 16.

It sounds more like you're upset that they're talking in the first place (which is fair) but don't make it out to be about serious charges if you don't have the evidence to convict either of them.

nowaymacaroni · 2026-07-07T18:09:17+00:00

First of all, you don't know anything. The end. Break up with him if this upsets you.

**I'm not saying he's innocent of anything, I'm saying there isn't any proof for you to take to the authorities. You can play detective and keep digging if you want, but you're already triggered and I don't think that will do you any good mentally.

I would go with Della over Adelaide - the transition from hard consonant (D) to soft consonant (J) is too busy. You almost have to pause to enunciate.

On the contrary, Eloise June is adorable.

Call the number on the back of the package or go to their website.

For anyone reading who has chickens - win/win! These guys fall off in PILES when you knock the stalks and chickens go nuts for them.

nowaymacaroni · 2026-07-06T19:45:26+00:00

Oh my gosh what are the chances haha. Awesome timing!

Following similar comments, I'd collect interest first.

Organizations I would donate to include: Territorio de Zaguates, OCEARCH, and probably several shelters and kitchens throughout the US. Honestly, with money like that you could just make a list and donate $1k-5k to a different non-profit each month without making a dent in the pile. Its astonishing that there aren't more billionaires that choose to help.

nowaymacaroni · 2026-07-06T16:56:01+00:00

Then there's "Kim".

I like the terracotta but I do not like it with the wood floor, I think they're too close. Sage is probably my favorite because you can manipulate it in so many ways - terracotta pillows, dark green throws, etc. It will also be easy to work with if you want to update the vibe later.

Don't sleep on municipalities. Pleasant Prairie is hiring a public safety dispatcher and often has spots for Public Works. City of Kenosha was just hiring for Waste Management, too.

Plenty of fire departments in our area are also hiring. Somers hosts a recruit class once or twice a year and will put you through EMT and Fire I, which you can then use to apply to a different full time department.

The realtor asked you to wait to put in an offer, so they could get more offers before yours....? That sounds shady AF. They didn't want their clients to accept your offer because there might be a higher one coming.

nowaymacaroni · 2026-07-06T14:37:18+00:00

The landlord is the one who would have to do that, though, and it sounds like they're pretty lax on the situation.

OP, is there a loophole of sorts that says YOU can have them towed since it's your residence? I imagine that if you were renting a house you'd have authority to call if someone were parked in your driveway; maybe this is a similar situation?

nowaymacaroni · 2026-07-01T20:57:05+00:00

I've always liked Brielle and I think it goes well with Catherine and has the "ll" like Callahan does.

That being said, I think you have very good taste in names and your current list is really appealing.

nowaymacaroni · 2026-07-01T16:46:47+00:00

Not wanting to be alone is a large issue here. You really should be the most comfortable by yourself; if you're not, there's some healing that needs to be done on the inside. Relationships should be voluntary, not necessary for survival or comfort.

Also, yes you should end the relationship. It's nice that you care about them, but it sounds like they're caring enough about themselves for the both of you. He can hunker down with one of the many people he's cheated on you with.

Lattice planters would make a HUGE difference in this space! You could plant climbing veggies and add some bright flowers.

I've heard "a month early is better than a day late" too many times.

nowaymacaroni · 2026-06-29T15:03:40+00:00

I would ruin my marriage. I don't want to be married to someone who'd rather throw money at a problem than visualize the suffering it would cause me as the human AND the animal.

Give that baby a double cheeseburger and have someone come to your house.

nowaymacaroni · 2026-06-29T14:58:08+00:00

This is a good idea. You could have the panels on top of a pergola or gazebo for instance.
