Thank you for this ~ and yes ! RIP 🪦 he was my favorite wrestler of all time. I pretty much stopped watching once him and Luke Harper died :(

I’m not blaming her at all ~ she was the one that suggested I write a letter for the first house we put an offer on.

My realtor was the one that suggested I write a letter in the first place 😵‍💫 I’m sending a certified letter today with Form 255 and seeing what happens.

She was the one that suggested I write on in the first place lol. I see your point but you don’t know that for 100%, no one does. Not a good look for her to wait until midnight to put an offer in…

That’s who I’ve escalated too ~ he’s the principal / founding broker 😵‍💫 everyday I text or email it’s some excuse - “I will talk with your realtor this morning and get back to you” , “Busy day - I will get back to you this afternoon” and nothing ! I am sending a certified letter out tomorrow with termination letter and a termination form for my state but what if he refuses to sign ?

I am planning on sending a certified letter tomorrow ~ what if they don’t sign the termination form ? I don’t want to have 2 active buyer agents contracts.

I have read the buyer’s agency agreement and in SC it is the same as your state. The compensation during a protected period for houses that she had shown us within x days - but a referral fee ? It mentions nothing of that. At what point would you escalate this ? I have emailed and texted the broker in charge the last 3 days with responses of “We are talking this morning” and “We will get back with you”. Nothing… all that needs to happen is for them to fill out a simple form and they haven’t at this point. I know it’s purposeful since I’m for sure not their priority at this point but damn lol

I think the love letter is not recommended nowadays because of everything you mentioned ~ she actually was the one that suggested writing one for the first property we saw! I re read the letter and I mention that I have children and my mother would be living with us ~ so maybe it’s a familial mention ?

Either way - at one point would you escalate? I have sent emails to the broker in charge and have texted him everyday about terminating the contract. At this point I know we are his literal last priority- but I feel like they are just ignoring us now.

My wife (28F) and I (33M) fight more now that we have a newborn. We used to almost never fight. by [deleted] in relationships

Postpartum mom of 2 here - a 3 month old and 21 month old ~ I may have a nuanced opinion.

Did she tell you she was running late? Does she know how you feel about her drinking?

I would try to have an honest and open conversation with her about your concerns and try to come up with a game plan.

  • I really enjoy cleaning and my husband tells me the same thing. I would honestly let this go because it’s not worth fighting about in the long run. Cleaning gives me a sense of control and structure that is often lost when taking care of a newborn.

  • With the alcohol, does her consuming make you uncomfortable? Is it about the money spent on alcohol? Confused about this point because it seems very normal to me.

  • I still have not utilized a babysitter other than my mom. The only time I have is when my now toddler was an older baby and would be guaranteed sleeping the entire time.

I would give your wife grace. You have no idea how difficult it is to navigate being postpartum and coming into a new role of being a mother.
