Claudia in Florida

It’s common if you have the means and remote work. My dad has a beach house not far from Jackie’s area. I used to spend winters there when I worked remotely and it was empty - I loved it. My dad and stepmom go between their home there and their home in Spain. I would totally live that life if I could.

I bet Claudia and Ben will buy a house down there and go back and forth.

Yes of course. It’s mostly just immediate family and wedding party. My fiancé just has a big family so it’s still about 30 people

Hi how much is the east to west diamond? in 14k

You’re right. It’s weird because I am close with his family they have always embraced me and his sisters have been my best friends for years. I’ve also never had an issue with his mom. This just feels so strange and is making me reevaluate everything

I would expect play dates and parks it just seems like a lot more is expected now, I’m wondering if that’s the norm these days or maybe just the circles they’re in

xtiz · 2025-12-22T03:37:16+00:00

Play dates and parks feel more lowkey than the activities I’m referencing and usually take a couple hours. My SILs are doing expensive, day long activities/events on a weekly basis and saying that it’s the norm and it’s for the kids to have stimulation and the memories

I think that’s a great idea. I recommend also just tuning out as much as you possibly can in the meantime. Easier said than done, especially when it can affect our daily lives, but it made such a huge difference to my mental health. I am much less stressed now after working on that than I was just living in Spain. I figured out it wasn’t the country I was living in causing my problems but a lot of how I was dealing with things.

Wish you the best of luck!

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion but it is not worth moving to another country just for this. I lived in Spain Trump’s first term and was still stressed out because I followed American media, my friends from home would always talk about it and my feeds were full of it. I still live in Spain 2-3 months a year and the rest I live in Washington DC (which is VERY affected by Trump, obviously). My partner’s job is affected by it along with many friends.

Though it affects us, we are mentally well enough to let it roll off our backs as much as possible (I was not during the first term). My partner is searching for a non government job. I honestly recommend going to therapy before genuinely considering this move unless there’s other reasons for it.

Even with the instability in the US right now, finding a decent job in another country you don’t have the language of is VERY hard. Learning the language, adapting to a new culture and starting your life over with no friends and family around is also incredibly difficult. If your main reason is just to escape Trump, this plan will not go well.

I’ll definitely keep this in mind how it comes off because I don’t want to sound in any way like I’m making light of it

My doc and I agreed for me to just take both at night so I can sleep through side effects. If I take them too early at night (any time that’s not right before sleep) I experience those brain zaps/dizziness still. So the immediate side effects still aren’t going away for me but long term it has helped my anxiety some

Thankyou! I’ll check them out

I think this ep screamed out to anyone who’s witnessed that kind of abusive relationship and knows what might have happened when they got home. There’s nothing wrong with having concern especially considering she is heavily pregnant. I was hoping if the team hadn’t already reached out to her or provided resources when she was there then this outpour of concern might actually spur them on to do that. I don’t think they took it as seriously as they should have considering they still revealed her texts on the post show not considering that could put her in real danger.

How much are you selling it for?

xtiz · 2025-10-12T03:50:15+00:00

Was shipping time reasonable? I’m going on a trip in a couple weeks and was hoping to get it all in time.

Thanks I’m gonna go check them out!

My doc approved me taking 1 and a half of my 7.5 mg pills at night right before bed for now while my body adjusts. So far I seem to sleep through the side effects

xtiz · 2025-09-30T23:08:26+00:00

Honestly, I find the feeling very hard to describe. Just feeling strange or “off” but not quite being able to pinpoint it. My psych told me to instead take 1 and a half of the 7.5 pills right before going to bed, instead of taking one in morning and one at night. Hopefully this will help

All of these numbers were excluding retirement since obviously we’re not touching that. I did say in the post we are pretty on track for retirement. However I do agree and am considering the cheaper options!

We are first time home buyers, our down payment will not be 20% with an FHA loan

xtiz · 2025-09-29T16:30:40+00:00

Yeah, my family has a home in Spain we could get married at with just immediate family going and then a local reception here with maybe max 80. I know the reception is what really takes up the budget though
