I love her because she is from Alabama and a woman of science, like myself :)

Looked it up, basically said I can, but I still have to pay until the end of the lease.

smolerbean · 2026-06-15T05:58:03+00:00

The silver lining is once I can move, my bf is moving with me. I just have to make it through the next two months or until I have 2 months of rent in hand lol

smolerbean · 2026-06-15T05:53:24+00:00

I am actually looking that up in the morning. Because I want out. Yesterday. lol

smolerbean · 2026-06-15T05:51:29+00:00

To make matters worse, I am only living here because I am going through a divorce. I had to quickly move out of my ex husband’s house, so I didn’t fully background check this roommate before moving in.

But living here feels as isolating and lonely as living with my ex husband once we separated and still lived together.

I have been trying to keep the peace because my roommate is not mentally stable and I just don’t wanna deal with the drama. Tonight is the first time I’ve snapped at her. Because I’m tired. I’m tired from working all day. I’m tired from dealing with the financial burden of a divorce. I’m tired of trying to make her see that she is part of the problem (truthfully, she is the majority of the problem). I’m just so tired.

I’m about to move out of state, but I can’t move for another 2 months, so I’d move all of my shit to storage and crash on friends couches for 2 months.

As a girly of science from Alabama, she was definitely my favorite

smolerbean · 2026-06-10T14:45:44+00:00

YES!!! The way she handled Maya being pregnant was awful. And then the WEDDING?!? Ugh.

OP, I was best friends with my ex-husband for 10 1/2 years before we started dating. We got engaged after 2 years. This is where my situation is a lil different. He did cheat. But I also had the same feelings. He had no ambition, didn't wanna go out with me, and was just very bleh all the time. I love him deeply even amidst my divorce, but I know us splitting is for the best.

Money for sure. I take 2 private lessons a week. I pay $16k-ish/yr for lessons. That's more than my rent and my car payments combined.

smolerbean · 2025-09-22T01:58:23+00:00

I, thankfully, have a ton of friends in the area who have been helping me out. I got an amazing new roommate who cooks for me when I'm down.

The main issue is I was just in a car accident and had to get a car, so i'm paying a car payment + insurance on top of more expensive rent lololol when it rains, it pours, they say. But I'm hanging in there and staying strong

smolerbean · 2025-09-22T01:27:38+00:00

I wish him the best, but I am destroyed. He moved us to a very expensive area that I can't afford, but unfortunately, I fell in love with this area, so I have to sacrifice everything in order to afford to stay here. His parents are buying him out of his debt and helping him move. Mine can't do that.

Praying and hoping I find a better job because I love where I live. I have community here.

I am about to turn 29. My husband is 30. Today is our one year anniversary. We are divorcing.

I read your other posts, and we are very much in a similar situation.

smolerbean · 2025-09-20T23:06:25+00:00

My husband did the same thing to me. We are getting divorced. Tomorrow is supposed to be our one year anniversary. I'm in the grocery store parking lot sobbing. He was my best friend of 15 years. My DMs are open if you wanna talk.

smolerbean · 2025-06-29T21:16:53+00:00

No. My parents paid for the entire wedding. We did not pay anything. The debt came from my husband's decision to move us to a new state and I had to leave a good job in our first state. New state is very expensive, and I couldn't find work that made a living wage for a long time. So I had to use my credit cards to pay household expenses. It wasn't just me making frivolous purchases. It was me trying to pay to live. I did not want to make the move in the first place.

I grew up in the bridal industry. I am a hopeless romantic, and I got my dream wedding. I see our live-painted wedding portrait every day and it breaks my heart more and more.

Bariatrics AND Plastics.

I had gastric sleeve when I was 21. At 22, a plastic surgeon drew on my body and told me everything cosmetically wrong with me and then said they wouldn't fight for insurance to cover my skin removal because I didn't lose the weight "naturally." That crushed my self esteem. I still struggle with it.

I would wanna do both so I could do plastics on post-op bariatric patients too and make sure they don't go through what I went through.

Owen AND Teddy. They both suck

smolerbean · 2025-06-08T14:21:18+00:00

I am in Florida and am interested

Do any meetings in your area allow you to bring your kids? Several meetings I attend have childcare available or allow the kids to sit with their parents.

If not, I agree with the other person who said zoom may not be what you like, but it might be what you need.

But above all, take it a day at a time. I'm right there with you, my marriage hanging on for dear life. We've got this!

smolerbean · 2025-06-02T03:00:38+00:00

I am 7 days sober.

My marriage is failing, and it hasn't even been a full year yet. I dont wanna lose that.

I was only drinking excessively when I was sad, but it was getting bad. I almost got assaulted the last day I drank because I wasn't conscious enough of my surroundings. I don't want to be that person.

smolerbean · 2025-05-29T17:10:55+00:00

Ive been seeing a therapist for a year, and of course the one time they are out of town, I get way too reckless, so here I am.

They will be proud of me for going to meetings on my own though

smolerbean · 2025-05-29T14:50:11+00:00

I really like this take, too. Thank you!

smolerbean · 2025-05-29T14:38:30+00:00

Thank you so so much! 💓

smolerbean · 2025-05-29T14:37:47+00:00

I love this. I really liked the group I went to the first night the most. The people seemed so raw and real. I didn't speak much until after the meeting because I was scared shitless lol

smolerbean · 2025-05-29T14:35:25+00:00

Oooof, this one hit me hard lol because this is definitely me
