Living in an unhappy house isn’t stable.

FOR GOD’S SAKE, GET THE MONEY. Give her one chance to send it/meet you and give it to you. If she puts it off or “forgets”, she’s run through her current acquaintances and is circling back to you for her daily drama infusion and is using the money to lure you in. Run.

My dad just had heart surgery, and this was a huge shock to us. He’s getting out this week, and hopefully will be ok.

Haha, I can’t wait to be a crone! You make it sound amazing :)

That is terrible. I would seriously go Columbo on him and check for any signs of an affair. Not wanting sex and not wanting to do the minimal things to fix that is a bad sign.

Two: when you take the pregnancy test, it might be a good idea to have a good friend with you. A pregnancy scare can be terrifying and emotional, and it can be good to have someone who knows and cares about you…

Ugh, I feel you and can relate somewhat (no kids, but my spouse has been in a major depressive episode for much of this year, so . . . less affection than I would like too).

I am so sorry you are going through this. It must make you feel so lonely, to have this person that you love who won’t reach out to you, even when you have asked. Like you say, you can’t make him go to counseling with you. I think that means you should go on your own. You still deserve a chance to talk about your…

The thing I have the biggest problem with here is THE FUCKING MILE WIDE TRAIL OF EVIDENCE THEY LEFT BEHIND THEM!!! WHO THE HELL PLANS A DOUBLE HOMIDICE OVER TEXT MESSAGES!!!
