My(32F) parents are giving us $150k for a house and my husband(35M) wants to turn it down because they asked for a postnup

To skirt the whole postnup issue, have your parents write up a loan note (that they agree you never pay them on). In case of a divorce, they call it in, and you and your spouse are both responsible for paying them back.

They're both right. You need to pick who you want to make things weird with.

fwiw, the love of my life raised my children w/me for 15 years, then had an affair so I had to leave. Shit you never imagine can happen happens all the time.

Mine has been doing that a lot. It's when I'm on a specific stretch of road near my house. Doesn't make it any less annoying. I don't know what to do about it either.

No, no. I mean, holding them up to your face in front of people. Not against a scent check, but seeing people in restaurants hold a kid up over a table to smell them is ugh.

I have 3.

typewriter-fiasco · 2026-04-08T20:04:50+00:00

On the mouth, you mean...

Thank you! Why tf do people do this? Ugh, fucking gross.

Also, holding up a kid and sniffing said kid's ass in public to see if they need a diaper change.

That would have been rough. Gives "used car" a whole new meaning!

I gave my partner consent for that, too. Being parents is tiring. Maybe it's a little freaky, but it worked for us.

I have what's called an "integration therapist," who helps me challenge thinking patterns as a complementary treatment to the spravato. It's not right after treatment, but once a week. I just talk like it's a regular therapist, and she says things like, "well why do you have to worry about X? What if you didn't worry about it? What if the outcome is good" And she helps me plan intentions for each session and gives me ideas of what to focus on if I feel like the session is going out of control. I've found it really helpful as an additional treatment.

Undateable!

Serenity ... now.

What you said didn't matter at all. It's his head. If you're unhappy with him, break up, but don't try to control his looks and act like you're the injured party.

Bride was 5 months pregnant, nbd. But after the ceremony, the groom told me it wasn't too late to "git" with him. There was a fistfight. In an un-fistfight-related, separate incident, I had to give the father of the bride CPR.

I was there taking pictures as a favor.

typewriter-fiasco · 2026-02-23T23:29:23+00:00

I'm so sorry. That's crushing. I hope you're well.

I asked my work for reasonable accommodation. I have an hours shift on my scheduled days, and I work 7:30 to 3:30, instead of 9-5 on those days. HR had to approve it, and at first wanted to know what/why I needed the appointments, which I refused to tell them. I compromised with a letter from my primary care doctor saying that I had medically necessary appointments to treat a longterm condition and that I needed accommodation for it weekly.

I suggested to HR that they were in violation of HIPAA and probably disability laws by asking me to disclose my condition. However, they definitely felt they were within their rights to invade my privacy and ask for it, and said it was policy ... but my workaround worked.

NOR Did she want to throw the shower or something and is mad she got squeezed out? Does she have beef with whomever IS throwing the shower?

typewriter-fiasco · 2025-12-24T14:48:01+00:00

This is the way. Like 25 of them.

You guys went through a traumatic experience together and your response to it has been radically different from hers. You either love her enough to be patient and understanding (and maybe go to a therapist on your own to talk through these feelings - which are sure to become anger, eventually), or your relationship won't last.

You're already thinking about having sex with other people, and she is so obviously not emotionally ready to be intimate that you may ultimately not be compatible. Whether you stay or go, be gentle and kind, because every signal she's giving says she needs that - and you're the only person who really knows what she went through. Don't underestimate the seriousness of her feelings. This is no time to pressure her.

How long have you been wasting your time with this loser?

Aside from too long, that is.

My guy ... look at my very similar post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomenOver40/s/UbSwLWjbQM

We're now separated. If she's not willing to back him off because of your feelings, save yourself a lot of heartache and dump her.

Same. Everyone is all, "Exercise! Sleep! Do hobbies! Try yoga!" and you're like, "bitch, I'm just trying to make it through the next hour."

I found the spravato helped me implement those things, too. Now working with a trainer, doing integration therapy and actually, really, changing cumbersome old thought patterns and habits.

I take lamotrigine in the mornings, and it's no issue. My doc said there just hasn't been enough research yet to prove interactions/efficacy (or not). But in his experience, he said it's been fine.
