need to vent - maybe i have been married too long to understand....

I am sitting here so depressed. I have two adult daughters and five grandkids. My oldest daughter is a widow (her husband was killed in Afghanistan in 2005) with two kids. She is a professional photographer. She took a picture of my other daughter and her kids which I fell in love with and when I asked her if I could have one, she said the price is $80 (black and white, 8 x 10). Needless to say with my lowly wages as a transcriptionist I could not afford it. She has become miss high and mighty e ...

Thank heavens, no children in their 11 years, but his ex won't leave him alone. She's constantly calling him wanting money or furniture, or just to hassle him. She had taken everything out of the home they once lived in and he only wound up with a kitchen table and chairs. That's it. Now she wants that back. He's going to do it hoping she will get off his back. BTW, she used to hit him when they would fight. He came over one day with red marks all over his ch ...

I sure hope I can! Today has been a bad one. Getting dinged on reports for things I shouldn't. I have sent more than 5 emails to various QA people about things they are changing on my reports that shouldn't be changed. But that's not my major gripe. My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year now, and have recently moved in together. He is going through a nasty situation with his ex regarding custody of the children, etc. It has been going ...

This doesn't really require advice, but just a vent. I had written about two weeks ago regarding problems my daughter was having with her boyfriend of 7 months. Well, he just broke up with her two days ago after he invited her to his prom this Saturday and after she invited him to hers (they had talked and decided to still be a couple about a week or so ago). She is devastated. She won't eat, she's crying all the time. To make a long story short, he j ...

I'm sorry I just need to get this off my chest. I really only have one good friend, and she has her own troubles, so here goes... Last night, my husband's computer broke. He thought it was the video card, so we ordered a replacement for about $230. This morning, the computer is completely dead, won't even power up at all, so obviously more than the video card, which has already shipped, so I'll have to wait until it gets here, ship it back and get the refund minus the $ ...

I am posting this here because I know most of you have worked on-site in offices at some point in your lives and I wanted some feedback regarding something that happened in my office. I used to work as an MT and now I'm in a medical records office with about 10 or so coworkers. Most of the ladies are nice but there are a couple who like to stir up trouble and one who is a nosy-body and tattletale. I'm in my 60s, single and happy with my status, not really interested i ...

Hey all, I will try to keep this brief. My question first and then the reasons behind it. Has anybody out there in their life ever just picked up, cut ties and disappeared to some place else? Men and women have done it, but women less, I think. Now for the vent/reasons I ask, I like a lot of people now am having it very, very hard. I won't bore you will all of it, but financially, job-wise, vehicle-wise, love life-wise, I am just a mess. I would love to ...

To make a long story short ... I have to see a specialist today as I have been having some medical problems. This appointment has been scheduled for almost 3 weeks during which time I have asked my DH on several occasions if he would go with me, each time he states that he will. Today, however, when he remembers that I have the appointment he "innocently" asked me if I needed for him to go, going on to state that he has a lot around the house that he needs to do. This has hurt ...

Okay, so I have a neighbor who is unemployed. I know this cos he and his other half are always having screaming shouting matches and she yells he doesn't work and doesn't contribute, doesn't drive, eats her food, smokes, won't even watch "her kid", blah, blah, blah. So..what does he do? He goes and gets himself a motorcycle. So he has no license to drive it and it sits there in the yard (not their parking area, but their back yard that faces our back yard) a ...

Are there any frequent movers out there? I have become so disolutioned that I'm just upset. We moved into a neighborhood quite a few years ago and with the economy saw many changes. We've watched one neighbor grow up and thank goodness he got his license because now he doesn't sit around and have all his friends there (won't even go into the bahavior and language they used to display - I'm just thankful he's not there anymore). But now there ...

So, my DIL and son have been married 5 years. My son is in the service and they had the good fortune to have been stationed in DIL's hometown for the whole time they have been together. Her whole family is there and have been a great source of support when my son has been deployed. I had opportunities to visit and thanked them for being supportive of him when he was gone. 6 months ago they were stationed one state away from me, 3 hours away. DIL was super ...

First time a budget was passed on time BUT he wouldn't sign it until he got the "little" extras he was asking for in amendments. Sort of like blackmail. Threats were made about layoffs and unpaid state workers....well, in this budget, he cut Medicaid funding, library funding, firefighter funding and more. He is still talking about laying off some workers and he's "sorry about that but at least PA residents don't get a tax hike." First, the extras adding items arelike: ...

Is there an increase in child abuse lately? Have I just become more aware of it since I have 2 toddler grandkids, or is it just that the media is covering it more. I saw where a 7-year-old girl was locked in a cold attic for months for bedwetting by her grandmother. She was beaten and starved. She had chunks of bald spots on her head from having her hair ripped out. She had a broken foot. The grandmother said she was raising her grandchildren and was "doing th ...

a dryer outside and not sure what to do as I have been going to the laundramat. What a pain this is. There is just no way to vent outside. This is electric we have. ...

Every year at Christmas my hubby is able to take two weeks off, which is wonderful for him but is beginning to stink for me. By the time his vacation is over I will be extremely resentful towards him and I hate that. In years past he has always done everything he can to help me out while I am working, cleaning the house, wrapping presents, picking up little odd and end gifts, etc. However, this year all he has done is lay on the couch and sleep after sleeping until 11:00 every ...

Just a vent, frustrated at one my younger daugher's troop leaders. They have a goal of 170 boxes per girl to sell. Generally if she gets 30 boxes on her own we are lucky I drive them to all the neighbors (14), and hit up grandparents (have agreement with siblings not to bug them with this sort of stuff), and we sell about 60 boxes that way. But.I have two daughers in two different troops. So I take them out soliciting here and they split the sales.&nb ...

I bow to no political party. I just wanted to get that out up front before people start bashing me for what I'm about to say here. I live in Indiana and I'm annoyed that Dan Coats is running for senate. This man is a lawyer, politician, and lobbyist. That right there makes me not trust him. Dan Coats worked as a lobbyist and the firm he worked for was hired to advocate for a cap-and-trade proposal. Now that Dan Coats is running for senate in Indiana ...

I had seen an old newspaper article called "Gridlock shows signs of thawing" by Robert Novak back in 2011 so I've been mainly focusing on finding info on gridlock and the effects on lawmaking, Congress and the Presidents in the past few days. I did compress the various articles I found, trying not to be partial to one side or the other. If you want to read it, I can post it tomorrow. ...

22 for me, DH was 24 ...

First of all I can't believe it! I was with my first long-term about 7 years. I've been a single mother with three kids for awhile and boy have I struggled! I finally found a man that accepts me as I am and treats my children like they were his own. I just had to share it with someone because I'm kind of a shut in thanks to my job LOL! So any ideas about a cheap wedding? I have googled it up and down the internet. I was thinking ...

Been dating this guy 7 months. Everything going great until recently when he told me a couple "white lies." These were very insignificant, but still lies. Let it go. I complained to him that after about 5 months, the honeymoon was over. We do not "date" anymore, even though we can both afford it. I don't want to sound needy, but everything else seems to come before me, and we started spending less and less time together. We discussed "pre-marital co ...

I am just wondering, kinda want input here, perspectives or views... I recently met a couple, new to our neighborhood. The woman has 2 grown kids from her first marriage and 2 grandchildren. The man has no biological children, but loves her grandchildren very much, it is very obvious. They seem to be normal, hard-working folks, have a very nice house and nice cars, travel a lot... They have been together for 22 years and are not "legally married".& ...

I might write some more about this later on but just now am wondering about the above. I have been married over 10 years now but questioning about doing the above for this next year. Long story so will not go into it at this late hour tonight. If you file separate, any advantages or disadvantages. I always thought better for a couple to file together but.... like I said more later. What about deductions, who would take those or? No young children in the picture here and we have taken itemized in ...

Watching a show this morning and the 5 women were talking about being married, having joint accounts, some liked, some didn't. Up front will state that our names, husband and mine, are on each other's accounts just in case but we have our own separate accounts, banking, checking, savings. I have no idea what he has in his and he in mine. I do not care what he makes nor what he spends and I think he feels the same as I am concerned. When we get a big bill we pay for the year. This inclu ...

Well, I have finally decided the time is right and am getting married on Saturday, October 31, 2009 at 3 p.m. Just a small gathering of about a dozen friends and family. My dress is ordered (GORGEOUS!), our rings are ordered and should be ready next week, I've ordered my bouquet, a friend of ours is making a customized little box for her son (the ring-bearer) to carry, and their little 3 year old daughter will be our flower girl. My daugher, age 20, is going to be my Mai ...

Oh, I so know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I need to say it anyway. I've been married over 25 years. Husband and I get along okay most of the time, but sex life has never ever been of the very frequent type. I'm sure he thinks it's all me, and maybe it is much of the time. I think part of that is because, you know, if you don't have time for me all day and all evening or any other time, I don't feel all that warmed up to you just bec ...

Hmmmm....that suggests to me that when people grow up, get married, have a family, they see life from a conservative standpoint--work hard, pay taxes, etc. When they were younger they might have been living for the moment and voted accordingly. IMHO. ...

I am the mother of grown kids. My son is married x11 years, has a 6 year old. He and his wife are having problems because her caught her cheating. They are trying to work through it, but he was a preteen when my own marriage fell apart due to my ex's repeated cheating. Since this is his wife's second time cheating, he feels that they are done and is just trying to be civil until their situations get settled (separate living places, custory, finances and all that stuff...). I still spe ...

I'm dying to here the Trump supporters support of this since they support everything this administration does. Boy are they taking us for a ride. "A presentation, put out by a firm that helps generate foreign investment through a government immigrant visa program called EB-5, shows Kushner raised $50 million through the program, which lets foreigners exchange cash for green cards." By the way, he still has stock in the company. ...

need to vent - maybe i have been married too long to understand....

LOL - How does one do the things newlyweds - usually (ahem) "do", living w/parents??

This is the result of the participation - trophy generation
