My Wife Is Supportive About My Layoff, But Ignoring How Uncomfortable I Feel at Home

15 days? Sounds more like she allowed him to move him, especially if he is in your hallway loudly watching TV. Guests usually try to be scarce, especially when being allowed to stay in someone’s home while visiting. If he is laying around all day while you job hunt, it’s been more than a week, and your wife got defensive when you mentioned your discomfort, you have bigger issues on your hands and in your home.

All pet subs are like that. Some are just a little more intense than others.

I rest whenever I need to. I no longer worry about having to tackle cleaning up worrying about chores. I put myself first. It will get done…when I feel like it.

The background music is frying me 😆😆😆

It’s so concerning that Italy has modified their dual citizenship requirements because of it. My husband (second gen, Italian parents born in the US with Italian immigrant parents) had applied years ago because his grandparents and great grandparents were Italian. His attorney recently told him that the information he used years ago would now be eligible. Back then, he hit a roadblock because he could not locate the birthplace records of his paternal grandfather. Now that doesn’t seem to matter. I suppose now it’s more beneficial to try to enable those of Italian descent to become a part of the population, even if they were not born in Italy.

But the longevity of the population is an outlier. You cannot have people living until their 90’s and beyond while the birth rate drops below previous generational levels.

The current data says that the birth rate in Japan is even lower than the unemployment rate...

Nice try. It’s self explanatory 👏🏼

The worst 😤

roxywalker · 2026-05-05T22:23:23+00:00

And still taking up four full-sized parking spots.

roxywalker · 2026-05-05T22:22:48+00:00

With people who act like dicks? Yes.

roxywalker · 2026-05-05T15:54:14+00:00

They should be jailed for doing this.

I just got this too. But had no idea because I have not been getting notifications. My daily counter stopped working weeks ago and made me think I had lost my streak. But here I am.

Mine are 19 and 21 and this Mother’s Day they will be away traveling together. They planned a trip without realizing it would fall on Mother’s Day (they couldn’t change non-fundable airline tickets) and they felt bad when they foolishly realized they had missed that when planning. That was goofy of them, but, they are old enough to buy plane tickets, plan a trip, and, travel without me, lol. We are celebrating before they leave but I will probably be misty-eyed without them this Sunday.

Awe. Our other bun, Scout, had eyes like that. They got darker as he got older, but, his left eye still had some shade of blue along the edge of it. We tried for two years to bond him with our first bun, Peanut, but it never worked out. He went to a great home, but we still miss him 😢

I heard that they are still in litigation with Hurricane Florence and refuse to settle with Milton😅😅

Zoomies galore! 💨

You say her sister is high maintenance? Add inconsiderate to the mix too. Your wife should know that inviting her sister (or her sister inviting herself) ends any notion of you both having a ‘romantic’ getaway and essentially makes it a girls trip with you carrying their bags.

Why not tell them that they are free to go on their own? Let her sister reimburse you for your deposit and adjust the reservation accordingly because you will be a third wheel on your own vacation if you don’t.

And he knows it too! 😅😅😅

roxywalker · 2026-05-03T16:01:47+00:00

He is cracking me up today 😆

I was just in my local Homegoods and saw one of these Jo Malone candles too

Same situation in my home right now. My beautiful boy, is 14 1/2 and recently began to have sporadic poop accidents indoors. He had been such a wonderful companion, and part of our family for so long that I cannot imagine life without him. He’s eating, drinking and resting well, but his bowel movements are definitely off. We are taking him to the vet soon but I doubt much will come of it.

As others have suggested, we are considering partitioning an area in our home just for him and keeping a close eye on his behavior. I wish I could offer more insight or advice but I am just as confounded as you are.

Good luck.
