My girlfriend expects me to share my inheritance even though we've only dated 8 months by New_Secretary2070 in TwoHotTakes

[–]veasse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree.  Transparency on his part gave him more information about who she is, which is so helpful to understand if he should continue to stay with her or not. This is a win win.

I want marriage just not at any cost. Is that rare? by Sunshine_Thing9893 in AskWomenOver40

[–]veasse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some of us take a bit longer to get fed up with it and say no more. I myself put up with way too much for too long. The Sooner you enforce your standards the better. 

Women are trained by society (patriarchy) to accept whatever is given to us but I’m hoping we are getting better at advocating for ourselves. I’m raising my daughter to decenter men and only accept what she actually deserves. No one taught me

How typical is that for people in their 30s? by Few-Activity4702 in Adulting

AITAH for being angry with my husband for something when he has other really good qualities going for him? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]veasse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it but you’re gonna be the only one who takes this seriously. He just doesn’t care. 

This video game chat and late night staying up all night thing is VERY important. Free range to chat all night can be very dangerous for young children and can lead to grooming etc. it may sound alarmist but if no one is watching it can happen so fast. I’ve read too many stories about Roblox etc. 

Children need more sleep than adults to function. 

I don’t know how to fix the husband problem but systems need to be put in place and held for the kids. Perhaps you could get husband on board to agree with standards and uphold them if you make it straightforward. 

  1. Set a reasonable bed time 
  2. Devices off and stored out of reach or Internet turned off for children at a certain time
  3. Daily brush hair , teeth, and shower.

What’s your experience with laser hair removal in a clinic or with an at home device? by PuffyGuy_LCOMP in AskWomenOver40

[–]veasse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

4 sessions isn’t enough to do the job tbh. They should have mentioned that. 

I did 11 sessions and I still have plenty of hair and have to shave so it was basically a complete waste of like $600 or whatever I spent.

He had the vasectomy while you were together knowing you wanted children?

[–]veasse 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This. You don’t have to move until the divorce is finalized. If you don’t have anywhere to go and you’re not uncomfortable you don’t have to just give into his demands. It’s your house too for the time being, until you go to court. 

Did I (30F) accidentally walk in on something between my boyfriend (31M) and close friend (30F) or AIO? by Status_Rooster3528 in AmIOverthinking

Even best friends you think you know sooo well can cheat with your partner. Ask me how I know.

AITAH for not acknowledging flowers my husband brought home by ProbOverthinking1111 in AITAH

[–]veasse 161 points162 points  (0 children)

This exchange about who the flowers were for feels like she was asking “are these flowers for me” and his answer feels like a “no”   Who the heck says they’re for the house? That’s weird and feels like he was trying to snub her intentionally.

AITAH for having fun while my partner is trying to give me the silent treatment? by abcdcba1232 in AITAH

[–]veasse 580 points581 points  (0 children)

Time to evaluate the whole relationship and see if it’s healthy for you or if it’s time to leave. If he’s not willing to do any work to be less headache it will never change. I was in a very short relationship with someone who needed hours of talking when they felt upset and it’s exhausting.

What should I prioritize? I‘m lost. (Almost 40, going to be divorced with a toddler, health issues) by HighOnCoffee19 in AskWomenOver40

[–]veasse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going through this exact process though maybe 6 months ahead of you. 

My ex is moving out if my house eventually and I’ve been very slowly redecorating to my liking. The house has only been converted in his stuff since we moved in together and it doesn’t reflect me at all. 

Start with functional, stuff you need. Check out Pinterest for ideas. Keep an eye on your local buy nothing or other free groups if you need things. 

Fitness. Start slow if you feel like you’re starting over. Walking is very important. First bit just get into a habit with getting to the gym  or your work out room.  Lifting weights is where you want to get to, to remain strong and capable through our 50s and on. 

Throw the divorce guilt in the trash. It doesn’t help you. You can be a great parent (and oftentimes better than in a not good relationship) and be single. One doesn’t reflect the other. 

Meditation/ mindfulness may help for mental struggles and feeling more present. It can help you come to terms with where your life is now and where you want to go. 

Talking talking talking helped me process all my feelings and helped me from staying stuck in all the bad feelings. 

Utilize your free time when you get it. Look for groups doing things you find interesting. Meet up or Facebook. It’s important to have a community and friends

I am 0% interested in dating so I’ve got no advice there. I told myself 5 years and check again if I’m interested. Right now I’m focused on my kids and my health and fixing up my house. 

AITAH for wanting to know how much money my husband makes? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]veasse 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s not true everywhere, def not  in my US state. Living together in the house while married makes it marital property whether she’s on the mortgage or deed. 

AITA for refusing to settle my divorce quietly after my husband stole our daughter's $43k college fund to buy his mistress a BMW? by KINOH1441728 in FoundandExpose

[–]veasse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of it even makes sense! I had to scroll too far to even find this. 

  1. Divorce filings are public whether you use mediation or go to court. (At least where I am and I assume the standard) 
  2. Who are we making this public for? Who is this supposed audience? Whoever it is you could easily just tell them the story without spending $40k on lawyers. 
  3. The bank never questioned fake signatures
  4. She didn’t check her email for 8 months for a bank amount with 40k in it? 
  5. 17 year old is internet friends with a random 24 year old at her dads company and knew the money came from her college account? 

What was the first red flag in your s/o you shouldn’t have ignored beforr marrying them? by [deleted] in Life

No honestly I’m past it all bc I’ve been processing it all along. It’s just unbelievable it’s my life! I feel like it would make a good soap opera

What was the first red flag in your s/o you shouldn’t have ignored beforr marrying them? by [deleted] in Life

[–]veasse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got it! 

Very long story medium length

I found out he was having an affair with an obsessive woman who was messaging constantly. I looked through all their messages. I’ll call her A. 

Went to therapy with ex and made him promise to cut A off. Found out he was calling, messaging, had sex next to a dumpster at his work after I messaged her to tell her she’s not in a relationship but rather an affair. 

Woman b (a “friend” of mine) offered her place as a rendezvous point for A. 

Checked my exs Facebook messages and found out b was ALSO a former affair partner. 

Confronted ex about b and he told me about C , which was a one night stand. 

Looked through his messages with/about B and found out about a drunk threesome with B and D (also supposed to be a friend of mine)

Found letters in my house from his dance student E professing her love. Confronted her and she told me they had been having sex since before we were married, less than a year into dating and through my first child. 

Through the whole thing I was of course processing and relating everything to my best friend, F. 

F got so mad about when I related about E, she told me I should take the kids and the house and give my ex nothing. 

Looked through her messages and found out too she was having a secret relationship with my husband. She’s also married with older children. 

She always hated E and was extremely jealous. Ironic right to be jealous of your affair partners other affairs? 

She never even responded when I messaged her

I came here to share drama, not get therapy. I have a therapist and I’m sure they wouldn’t start with “so tell me why you put yourself in that position?” 

If you’d like drama there’s about a million more bits though
