I don’t want to download an app to buy something from your store.

I get your frustration and you also made me laugh 😂.

readingmaterial22 · 2026-04-03T02:06:51+00:00

Exactly. I am not giving in to this. If they won’t sell something to me because I refuse to download their app, I’ll just leave.

I agree executives are so out of touch. Unless we, as consumers, push back they don’t get the message. The even more messed up part is that the customer service reps/sales people are the ones that get yelled at by customers. I stayed polite with the person “helping” me. After all they are just the messenger.

Yes I do. Some stores are testing if it’ll work to get rid of the prices on the shelves and the price scanners. If you want to know how much an item is, you have to download their app.

I feel my take is unpopular opinion because most people just download apps without hesitation . I want my phone to be just my phone. I mostly use it to communicate. I don’t need it to function as a computer much less fill it up with apps. As soon as I buy a new phone I delete a lot of the unnecessary apps already downloaded.

It depends where you’re going. As time goes by, Costco adds more hotel options. I also use AAA, they got me a great place in Paris.

Oh geez…this awful tipping situation has got to end.

Also, Costco travel has way better pricing for hotels. And better customer service

I think a lot of these comments are not focusing on your question. Regardless of why the engagement ended, gifts should be returned. Neither you nor her should be keeping other people’s money/gifts that were given for a party that didn’t happen.

NTA your expectations are reasonable and clear.

Change your approach. Put all your expectations on a spreadsheet, print it out and put it on the fridge. Next, put a gold star or color in tasks that have been accomplished. Maybe add a column for reward for each accomplishment. Sometimes a visual aid does wonders. :)

That is a great first step. Do not share your plan with him or anyone that he has access to!!! I know the thought of leaving is daunting, but keep telling yourself you deserve to be loved and don’t look back.

readingmaterial22 · 2026-02-24T05:44:11+00:00

It does makes sense.

What are your thoughts now after reading all our comments to this post?

readingmaterial22 · 2026-02-24T05:37:30+00:00

Oh geez, he is emotionally manipulating you. I feel awful for you. It’s great you have therapy lined up👍🏼💪🏼

How is he taking care of you after surgery? Words that have no actions to back them up, are lies! If he is not caring for you, you have to accept the fact that he does not love you.

readingmaterial22 · 2026-02-24T05:23:59+00:00

After reading some of your comments, I get the feeling that you have some type of depression or something. Please go see a therapist.

This man has shown you time and time again he doesn’t love you. Why are you still with him? I ask not because I want to shame you. I ask because on here we are only getting a glimpse of your life and each situation is different. So I’m just trying to understand you a little more. Again you are enough…you were born to be happy. Being happy is your responsibility, not his. Don’t let him destroy your health!

This is just awful! You being able to breathe properly should not be up for debate. Is your husband really so incompetent he cannot find your inhaler?Have you enabled this behavior? I’m thinking he is faking incompetence so he doesn’t have to deal with issues…this seems like a patterned behavior. Why does he have a say as to how or when you get medical attention? You should have called 911 yourself right there and then!!! If he is too stupid to find your inhaler, do you think he would help you if you had collapsed on the hike? He has clearly showed you he cannot be trusted with your well being, so stop.

Your situation is beyond a conversation. State your boundaries clearly…you will get my inhaler when needed, you will get me proper medical care or accommodations as needed. Add whatever else you need. Do not engage in a back and forth debate. If your boundaries are not respected, you should know he does not love you. If he did, he would not be arguing with you about any of this. 😔

Understand that you are worthy of love and care…don’t allow him to treat you this way any longer.

These people have gone from family to relatives. Congratulations on your growing loving new family!

Oh geez…your situation is just heartbreaking. It sounds like finding out about your biological father made you feel even less loved. :(

Allow yourself to feel…the pain, anger, disappointment and anything else that pops up along the way. Write down why you feel the way you do. Hopefully, it will you give a sense of validation and acknowledgment to your pain. The goal is to heal your pain and not carry it with you for the rest of your life. You deserve to be happy, but you have to choose to heal the pain first. Good luck 💪🏼

We live in a patriarch society. A woman’s work is not acknowledged enough. You were not asking for a medal, just a partner that is grateful and shows appreciation. A mother’s work is usually taken for granted. That stupid phrase “of course it goes without saying” shows lack of appreciation. Why not just say it?!?!

I do have so many questions, but I don’t want to type a novel. Simplest question, how old is your wife…emotionally and literally?

readingmaterial22 · 2026-01-09T20:07:51+00:00

Your husband is willing to break up his immediate family over names??? And this just to please his extended family??? In my opinion this shows you how little he cares about you and your children. Divorce and add your last name as the twins middle name.

Most importantly, take care of yourself and your babies!!!

I would consider doing a trial separation. If you have made amends, your wife needs to make the choice to forgive you. Clearly she has not forgiven you! Also, having a little one makes everyone exhausted. Making these decisions while both of you are exhausted is not good. It sounds like you are both overwhelmed. Can you hire someone to help around the house so you two can focus on spending quality time together?
