I had an inherently one-of-a-kind cape buffalo mount that my dipshit friend ran into and knocked off the wall which hosed up my floor and my god damned wall and my god damned buffalo but I didn't even get mad because she obviously didn't do it on purpose and poo poo happens. fretting about poo poo all the time is exhausting. it's just stuff, it won't stop you from dying, probably in pain.

I [34M] only got my wife [30F] one little thing for her 30th birthday. I dunno if I hosed up. Of 5 birthdays with each other, this is the first one like this.Relationships (self.relationships)quote:Howdy! Here’s the Backstory first! I recently lost my job and have been working my rear end off looking for a new one with similar pay, with not much success. I did find a decent one in outside sales, but she didn’t support it bc she thought it was a scam. Sales is tough and she wants to know what to expect for each pay check. Which is understandable, yet I digress. My monthly contributions to our bills has remained the same, but I can’t afford my whole portion of the mortgage. She’s been amazing and able to pick up that slack.

I had I really excellent male elementary school teacher for a few years in a row. He was an absolute weirdo, no question -- still lived with his parents at age 50, slept in his childhood bedroom, never married, never any girlfriend (or boyfriend), wore a bowler hat and spats every day and carried a pocket watch, and his favorite thing to do other than teach was to reenact Napoleonic War battles in his back yard with toy soldiers. He used to tell us that he was not born, but had emerged fully formed and dressed from a manhole on our town's main street. He had been a teacher for more than 30 years, extremely dedicated to his work, particularly good at teaching 8 to 12 year olds, and, despite many parents giving him a real close look for just being so bizarre, there was never a peep of any sort of impropriety. I think he was entirely asexual and basically just never grew up.

(self.relationship_advice) quote:Me and my fiancé have been together for 6 years. We are getting married in 3 months. We are great together but i don't wanna get too comfortable and i don't wanna trust her too much so I talked to her about getting a prenuptial agreement. I wanna protect my prized possessions and my hard earned money and I wanna protect my dead fathers hard earned money and assets. I have a house that I own and I wanna protect that as well so that way in case of a divorce I won't have any problems and concerns. You never know what the future reserves. That's why it is always important to be prepared. As much as I love her, I don't wanna get too comfy because nowadays divorce happens a lot and often times, they are ugly and can devastate you financially. My fiancé is mad at me because I want the prenup and I think it is a red flag. My family always told me that It is never a great idea to get married without some sort of protection. What do you think ?

Pick posted:No, I had some excellent male elementary school teachers who were 0% creepy and are appropriately considered valuable members of the community. Look, I have lots of bad opinions. I’m sure this is one of the least offensive among them. I never had, or knew of, a male elementary school teacher. I appreciate everyone sharing their personal experiences with male elementary school teachers. I will re think that particular bad opinion. My best and favorite teacher in high school was a man. I think male students would benefit tremendously from having more male teachers (oh boy here we go again).

EDIT: That said he's still paying for his share of some of the bills, so it's not fair to say he's contributing nothing. And either way it's not okay for it to be this passive-aggressive thing, money he spends on a gift for her right now won't be able to be put towards the bills. Communication is important and going off on someone while not actually saying what you're upset about is bullshit.

My favorite high school teacher was a man and I chose the graduate school I went to specifically because of the really incredible woman who would be my thesis advisor. I also had a female elementary school teacher who told me I was retarded and a male high school teacher who was an enormous rear end in a top hat to every student and went to jail in my senior year after attacking his wife with a hammer. It's almost like gender doesn't actually have any bearing on the quality of one's teaching

Pick posted:I believe in prenups for protecting inherited assets but aside from that, if you're in a partnership, act like you loving mean it. as a practical matter prenups that hold up in court tend to arrange assets in a mutually beneficial but still equal way - for example useless dude gets all the assets BUT the farm, which is approximately equal in value if you don't have assets about equal to the inherited assets, you will probably either see the prenup invalidated, or see yourself indirectly forced to sell them to pay alimony Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:Maybe - I’m just spitballing, here - maybe what she’s really upset about is you being an out-of-work leech who is contributing nothing to the household.

That's going to take time if he had a good job beforehand, he should probably be willing to get some lovely retail job in the meantime while he keeps searching. I’m just throwing things out there, again, but that mortgage is, mmmm... 3x all the rest of the bills combined. It’s entirely possible that he is really busting his rear end to find work, and contributing significantly to their household, but there are a few clues in his post that make me suspect otherwise. The biggest one is “recently lost my job” followed by “My birthday comes around in May.” He has been out of work since at least April, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it were longer than that. Next is, “... outside sales,” “she wants to know what to expect for each paycheck,” and, “scam.” There’s no way this dude works in sales, at least not successfully, or his wife wouldn’t object based on the fluctuations inherent in the job. He’s also being generally cagey with the generic description, and making no attempt to refute his wife’s claim that the job was a scam, probably because it was. Finally, “My monthly contribution to our bills.” This very specifically does not say that he’s paying half of the bills, or three-quarters of the bills, just that his “contribution” has remained the same. Maybe he was a lovely salesman, and his wife earns 4x what he does, and his contribution was 20% of the bills + 20% of the mortgage, and now shee’s stuck with 80/100. There’s a lot of weaselly phraseology in that post. It’s subtle, but it’s there. None of it is terminal, and he may have explained it away in the comments. You’re right that she shouldn’t be passive-aggressive if she has issues that need to be addressed, but that could be a sign of frustration. We almost never get both sides of the story in here.

I was actually suggested to go into teaching, which probably shows how desperate they are, but given my awful social skills with adults it's probably a good thing I got a useless BA instead.
