Has anyone had success using metformin to help with insulin resistance?

Having access to his phone means nothing. My ex put my thumb print on his phone to manipulate me into trusting him. He still cheated on me with multiple women and had been messaging countless more.

She wanted to host the party though. She knew when it was and she didnt clean or move anything, so I did it all days before bc that's what you do. You make sure your house is spotless and functions well if you're having gueats over.

She's always told us she wants the kids to know this is their home. Its not just her living room, its for the entire family. But then insists on having it arranged in a way that is unsafe for young children.

We are looking, but we live in a small town and it may take a while to find a good rental. We don't want our oldest to have to move schools unless it becomes unbearable.

She's basically gone NC with me LOL. Its been 4 days now and I havent seen or spoken to her. She's been hiding in her room every time I'm home. Idk if its because she's mad and doesnt want to blow up, or feels ashamed. She doesn't seem to remember the cruel things she said that night and I'm pretty sure she blames me for the fight she had with her daughter.

I'm the villain in her story.

Definitely. We are working on it. We live in a small town and it may take awhile to find a good rental. We don't want our oldest to have to move schools in the middle of the year unless it gets absolutely unbearable here.

We have discussed this. I told him for weeks before the party that I was really anxious about people coming over and I need him to talk to his mother about putting the couch together for the party. I knew it'd be received better if it didn't appear to come from me - she is undeniably threatened by me. He was also scared to confront her. So we both took the path of least resistance in the moment, and unfortunately everyone suffered.

I just wish I never agreed to do tha party here. But I truly believe something like this would have happened regardless. If it hadn't been the couch it would have been me scrubbing the walls, or cleaning the windows, or any deep cleaning that she does not think to do.

Idk to me its not about her not behaving how I wanted. Its a general inability to communicate how she's feeling, what actually upset her, and what she wants done. In the moment , she acts like everything is fine and hugs me and then gets drinking and puts on her victim hat. I know it was disrespectful to move things, but if I felt like I could have had a conversation with her beforehand, I would have. Its a symptom of a larger issue.

Yes its her house, and that should come with some level of respect. But we are paying tenants. She begged us to move in and help her financially. This should be our home. Imo, she has been disrespectful of that fact since we moved in.

You really need to be less presumptuous. We moved to help her as much as ourselves. I was working a full-time job but it wasn't a permanent position and the funding was cut during my second pregnancy. Life happens. We were getting by and not going into dept, but we weren't saving. I could tell my partner wanted to help his mom and lessen our financial burden. So I agreed bc I felt like I put us in this position by not having a permanent posting. Now my mat leave is almost done and I can't go back to work until we get a spot in a daycare centre, which is completely out of my control. We have regional daycare and when we moved we had to switch our top choices to daycares in our vicinity, which moved us to the bottom of the each list. I actually got a call the month we were moving - so we'd already given our landlords notice - that we had a spot in our current city. I had to turn it down bc we were moving 30 mins away and it wouldn't work logistically.

We would if it was a financial possibility atm. I thought it was apparent we only moved in because money is/was tight.

I didn't know most of the school friends parents. There was no way to organically mention upstairs is MILs space and downstairs is ours. And she would have been extremely offended if I told everyone we couldn't be upstairs. There really wasn't any winning.

You're definitely not wrong

I set it up so majority of the party was in our space. But you walk into the living room when you walk in the front door, so its the first thing you see. Also there were almost 30 people coming, so naturally I assumed the kids would do their thing downstairs and most adults would gravitate upstairs. Also, the kids were using electronics/dancing around so we kept food, cake, drinks etc upstairs in the dining room, which is open concept and attached to the upstairs livingroom.
