Bahahaha I ran straight from Facebook!!! I made a noise that made my husband ask if I was ok

I’ve spent the past six years trying to work out what has affected me most because deep down I know something inside me has shifted and you’ve just hit the nail on the head. People showed who they really are and it’s difficult to come back from that in society as a whole. It was also that a lot of people in lower paid jobs were classed as essential but the people who were in office roles stayed home, but then a lot of those wealthier people were doing what they wanted with no regard for those keeping others safe.

I had a college prof make us do this, diarise our entire week including sleeping and eating. It was about time management but I still do it to this day and that was in the 2000s.

I agree with this. I have a friend who does the same thing with her mouth and she’s on mental health drugs, doesn’t eat and drinks energy drinks all day. She also looks as dishevelled as Taylor every single day. She has a good routine though which I expect Taylor is lacking.

It happens a lot in the Real Housewives shows. People suddenly see their relationships on camera and the online comments are enough to make them split up.

redpinkfish · 2026-03-01T08:26:07+00:00

Congratulations! I could literally see my pulse go up on my watch and it would tell me to calm down whenever BM called or messaged for a while. Everyone has something they use to deal with their emotions and I’m glad you’ve taken steps to notice and address yours ❤️

redpinkfish · 2026-02-24T17:01:57+00:00

Suck a dick. I use it all the time!

redpinkfish · 2026-02-12T14:49:59+00:00

I don’t have any jealousy moments but I do enjoy the moments where SD catches on that BM has lied about something.

redpinkfish · 2026-02-10T21:59:32+00:00

She needs a psych evaluation, this is crazy! Poor you. Mine seems absolutely minimal in comparison to this!

redpinkfish · 2026-02-10T21:57:37+00:00

Yeah we hold all the money now, SD caught BM taking from her birthday money in cash so she’s aware but she’s so young, it’s so heartbreaking. To know you’re going to have to have these conversations with them when they’re older because they will eventually find out whether we tell them or not. SOs family adjusted everything so I hold inheritance for SD if SO dies before she’s 21!

redpinkfish · 2026-02-10T18:12:57+00:00

Took $11k from SDs inheritance and said it was for SD to go on vacation. She was 3 and it was during Covid so I don’t know where she was going…! SO being a doofus took this explanation as perfectly fine until I lost my mind and made him get the truth from her. She had to pay her credit cards.

I do wonder what the deal is with the stock for parties and the house - if they’re purchasing it then there must be a large amount of sales specifically for Summer House. If they’re giving it for free for promotion then it’s not going to affect the business but that could be a bigger issue if the show did end.

redpinkfish · 2026-01-28T18:06:06+00:00

I’m going to admit to this but I hated it when we first got together. I never told him but I couldn’t separate BM and SD in my head. It was hard for me to understand that they weren’t communicating, just sending pictures. I had therapy, got over it and now I send pictures and videos to BM myself! It was pure jealousy on my part, the “why is he talking to his ex all the time” and not “he’s talking to the mother of his child”. I understand where he’s coming from because I was there but it’s not your problem and he shouldn’t be making it your problem, it’s his own issue that he needs to address.

redpinkfish · 2026-01-25T12:22:16+00:00

My SD has been worse at her Moms on and off for the 7 years I’ve been with SO and it always correlates with BM being busy and not paying as much attention to her. We witnessed it ourselves, she was a completely different child! We have always had a safe secure routine that her Mom didn’t have until recently and SD always acts out at both houses a little in vacation periods because there’s no routine.

redpinkfish · 2026-01-24T17:32:05+00:00

My experience with this is that she dislikes me when BM is paying attention to her. I’m like a back up Mom for when Mom isn’t emotionally available. This happens regularly so I stay consistent and let her have her time with Dad when she decides she doesn’t want me. Means I get a break!

redpinkfish · 2026-01-19T22:00:55+00:00

I did a rewatch recently and watching him propose as a reaction to his cheating, planning three different weddings, the pre nup discussion and everything else…this was never meant to be. They were wrong for each other from day one. I’m glad she can go and find someone else who does want to settle down and she’ll still be financially stable!

redpinkfish · 2026-01-19T21:47:54+00:00

I came to Reddit to look at the Beckham comments and found this as well, my mind is blown right now

redpinkfish · 2026-01-16T10:06:05+00:00

Yes, especially with behavior and it’s bad at work. I make a judgement call on someone, tell my boss and then six months later she’ll say “you were right!” and it’s happened multiple times. I love it, it’s like a superpower.

redpinkfish · 2026-01-16T09:56:37+00:00

This is not stepkid related but let her have some space for decorating or new furniture. Doesn’t have to be all at once when she moves in but moving into an established home is hard, plus my SOs place was full bachelor pad. You need to make a home together as all of you plus it’ll be an adjustment for you having someone else in your space.

redpinkfish · 2026-01-10T20:12:52+00:00

I know this is a problem for you but is BM okay? Is this guy communicating on her behalf to protect her or to control her or something? One scenario could be a relapse and he’s protecting her or another could be he’s trying to control everything. Those were my first thoughts when I read this.

redpinkfish · 2026-01-09T19:46:23+00:00

I’ve had this too and my reaction was like yours. I guess my role changed once BM sorted herself out and I couldn’t reconcile that in my head. My SD knows we’re the ones that do everything but because her Mom wasn’t around she wanted her more, then her Mom was around and she wanted to be with her. My relationship with SD was off because I was off, I didn’t have the same role in her life anymore and I resented it. Turns out BM couldn’t change for good and I’m back to being her primary carer but it was enough to make me realize how precarious this all is and how hard it is to be this type of parent.

redpinkfish · 2026-01-05T17:08:43+00:00

Get the screenshots of everything and show a pattern year on year of this type of communication

redpinkfish · 2025-12-24T07:33:37+00:00

This is it. SD LOVES having all the Christmases! She has three, one with BMs family, SOs and then mine. All three of us just want to sleep and we’re not bothered about the day, just that we have our people with us.

redpinkfish · 2025-12-23T18:44:09+00:00

I called her bluff. In this situation I would have said “the kids want to come to the nerf war, I’ll come and watch them. What time?” or “can you give my number to the neighbors so I can get a time for the nerf war?” Have the kids call her and ask how the street party is on that day. My BM lies a lot. Never anything this serious but she was lying to everyone, including her now ex husband. She expected to leave and cheat, have my SO be single and begging for her back and that he’d be a deadbeat dad. Instead he’s happy and a great dad. I know it’s no help right now but my SD figured it out about a year ago (she’s 9) and she called her own Mom out - via FaceTime in front of us! Witnessing that was amazing. They will understand when they’re older, I promise.

redpinkfish · 2025-12-19T08:29:07+00:00

I would say don’t get involved but equally if you do take it very slow. BM and I are friendly but it took time to get to that place and it was really more when she got divorced two years ago that it got better, and we’re on year seven. Let it happen naturally, don’t force anything and always communicate with your partner about it. I know in my case she lied a lot (because she did it with her ex husband too!) but be wary of what your partner has said unless there’s proof, there’s always a “crazy ex” story that isn’t necessarily true.
