    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well, some good news. Husband got an apartment and I think can start moving in on the 1st of September. Decent place and the price wasn't too bad, either. Also plenty of windows for Bruce to get his cat TV from and buffer spaces on the entrances so no worries about him door dashing. He seems...

    Depression

    Obviously, still stuck in the rut, but my sleep has been getting worse and worse. I've always had trouble falling asleep and getting any decent rest, but these days it's almost impossible. I get into bed and it's just a non-stop hail of every bad thing that's happened to me and why it proves...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What the fuck is up with the lip synching in that cinematic. I didn't really play much of TWW and the trailer for it wasn't that good, IMO, but the animation quality was a shitload better than whatever this just was.

    When I was that age, I didn't have any interest in sex, either, and was convinced I was never going to care about it. Of course, I didn't have a boyfriend, either, so dunno how that works.

    Most stuff I just barcode scan, but anything nebulous or loose I'll weigh since things like a cup of granola is usually nowhere close to the grams of granola in that same serving. Trying to keep a good mix of the strength training and the cardio. Mostly just hit the stair master for the cardio...

    I eat between 12-1450 calories per day (except Fridays and Saturdays I'll let myself go over, but honestly it doesn't even happen all the time and if I do it's not by much). I raid in EQ 4 nights a week and spend the entire raid on my desk walking pad, so that's between 1-4 hours of walking 4...

    Decided to try and replicate the pic from March to see if the weight loss is working. Hard to notice day to day, but making some progress at least. Made sure to keep the pipe.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I still have a lawyer on the backburner and if I do see anything even remotely shifty I'm pulling the trigger on it. He was apparently only able to just get a lawyer or maybe an aide to just look at his packet and make sure it's filled out correctly, not for any representation or legal advice...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Can judge me for it, but I don't wish him ill will. I just want us apart and to go on our own ways. Legitimately, I hope he learns and grows and does well for himself, but he's got a lot of shit to learn to get to that point and he can't do that while I'm around. And honestly, I think I just...

    Correct. Like, he wants to go to Big Lots or Walmart or something with me in tow, pick out something up to $X dollars and buy it for him. And naturally, we have to use my car for it, too, because shit ain't going to fit in his Challenger. He did say Facebook Marketplace is fine, too, lol. I...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    In a way it's kind of sad that this is the best place I have to go to for a lot of life advice in general, but at the same time it's also awesome. Getting the perspectives from people across all walks is super helpful and I seriously appreciate all the advice folks are willing to give.

    So apparently he couldn't find a lawyer by last night to look over his response paperwork...so he asked me to help him look over it. Basically just kept it to "if that's what you want, yeah that's the spot where you'd put it, etc." Asked where to get it notarized and turned in, so progress I...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    Only time I don’t immediately pay off my CCs is if I have some promo financing. Usually if I need to have some larger than normal purchase I’d just throw it on PayPal credit and just pay it off before 6 months just to smooth it out. Thankfully I generally just don’t have much spending on the...

    He had a 403b and instead of rolling it over into his new job when we moved, he pulled it all out and spent it on himself. He has 0 assets other than his car.

    It's wild to me seeing anyone write how 40 acres "isn't that much." I'm 38 and have $120k in my 401k and a shit house on a .17 acre postage stamp and still have $40k in student loans. Assuming I lose half the 401k and have to sell the house, it seems like a completely impossible task to save...

    Went a little weird with the ramen today. Husband’s mom keeps sending him huge boxes of stuff from Omaha Steaks, one of which this time included a 12 lb hickory smoked turkey.

    I've had two DVTs (ironically not from gaming sessions...) so I ended up getting a standing desk and a walking pad underneath. I just walk through all my EQ raids, now, and even if I'm just having a regular night and I don't want to sit anymore, can just pop the desk up and stand for a while...

    Yeah, I'm not into buying a bunch of random shit and what I do have I try to keep as organized as possible (though my laziness impedes this a bunch). Have a specific box set aside for sentimental stuff, since I do have a hard time getting rid of it (shit I always get that pang of guilt just...

    I tried for a long time to get our finances combined, but he always wanted his separate because he didn't want to be told what he could do with his money. Of course, it just became a scenario of having our money and his money. Obvious red flag that I ignored, but I never claimed to be smart.

    Yeah, I'm just trying desperately to hold onto some hopium that I don't come out of this completely fucked, but yeah sounds like I'm boned whatever I do. I always understood why guys noped the fuck out of marriage; just sucks to have to live it, too.

    It does. As far as I know he's not asking for spousal support. We did have another talk today about how he just wants a lawyer's help to amend some of the paperwork and add a demand for me to a buy him a table and chairs. He did mention that he could ask for my 401k and savings, but he's not...

    I already floated the numbers by him of what it could potentially cost if we went the lawyer route. That consult that I had before I just hand-waved as me asking about the viability of just mediating it and how much it would cost if we didn't. I got quoted $3500 for basic paperwork...

    He got back today. Says he wants a lawyer because he doesn't understand legal documents and is worried because I didn't write anything about the house equity on our division of property stuff and thinks if it's not on there then it'll just not happen or something. Not sure how he's going to...
