I mean personally I think the dude that lied about literally everything he said and has sketchy debt issues and can't keep his temper and has a drinking problem and has multiple sexual assault allegations against him shouldn't be literally the highest law in the land, but that's just me and I am crazy like that. Cars are cool though.

Yep. Put the issue with the women aside (as if that's not a disqualifying situation on its own), you still have him flat-out lying to congress about drinking. And you still have him showing himself to be absolutely intemperate and not having the control or lack of bias for a judge. But he's going to get confirmed. And it's going to get worse. And we're getting closer to the breaking point. I wasn't too worried about the orange thing getting elected, I relied on my trust in the "system" that was laid out with checks and balances. However, I did not expect rote capitulation from power-mad Republicans. There's plenty of fault to spread all over. November 6 is going to be interesting.

It took me this long to realize I stuck my dick in crazy. After I relocated 200 miles, gave up drat near everything I owned, and fostered my cat with her boss. Well, I guess the realization has been there for a bit, but I didn't want to admit it. Especially since it's someone I've known for 26 years. It took getting 20 new assholes ripped for trying to go to bed at 2am last night to realize it. I work late hours, don't get home until nearly midnight, and I'm not the type that can just go straight to bed the moment I walk in the door. I need to shitpost on forums a bit, read a bit of a book or two, catch up on the little bit of social media I'm on, and listen to GF's constant criticizing me of being on any form of social media (including forums). Meanwhile she works 5a-2p, and doesn't get why everybody can't survive on 3-4 hours of sleep or adapt to her schedule.  Debating my next plan. I already had a storage unit lined up (since I'm tired of paying for a garage I can't use; it's packed full of 80% of her stuff, 20% of my stuff - we'd been talking about it for awhile so we could at least get one car in there), and already had a PO Box (originally for business stuff, but it gives me a PO Box for USPS stuff and a street address for other shipments). Housing here is a lot more expensive than Dallas unless I go way out to BFE, my credit is poo poo, I'm self-employed and take a ton of tax credits/deductions (so my AGI is around 10-15k, instead of what I really make [a lot more]) so I can't use tax returns to prove income. I don't want to go back to Dallas. It's kinda looking like my only real near-term option is an extended stay hotel on the outskirts of the Austin metro. I guess the one upside is I have the only remote to the garage (no other way into it other than the overhead door) and there's a recliner out there. It's just hot as balls in there (thanks to the fridge and, well, detached garage with no insulation). I also have a key to her boss's place (since I go over there daily to see my cat, feed him, scoop his litter, etc), and know her schedule - so if it comes down to it, I can get over there and sneak His Dudeness out. tl;dr sadbrains bitching.

slothrop posted:STR that sucks. Can I play devils advocate and ask if you’re overthinking this at all? Not that I doubt you man but I know how my own brain magnifies poo poo outta control. I'll admit, maybe I am overthinking at the moment (I mean, I just spent 2 hours sleeping in a 90 degree garage...), but it seems like every chance she gets, I'm getting criticized, questioned as to why the hell I would take that turn instead of the one she always takes and only stupid people take the turn I took ("because google maps says it's 5 minutes faster, babe, and I've been here 2 months, not 15 years" her: "GOOGLE MAPS IS loving WRONG"), followed with her asking "why do you seem so pissed off? I was just joking!" in a very sarcastic tone). I'm a communications major (no degree, but plenty of classes), so it's (very) possible I read into inflection and tones of voice more than most people, but when I escaped to the garage, my phone was blowing up with messages for well over an hour. My response was constantly "I'd rather discuss this when we both cool off a bit, please let me sleep a bit", getting more terse until they finally said "Trying to sleep", then finally "SLEEPING, STOP" repeatedly until she finally left for work. She blames her moods and yelling on being ADD as gently caress (she's still on a massive dose of dexedrine, at 40) and "I don't know when I'm yelling, I'm too ADD to notice!". I would have turned my phone off entirely if it wasn't also my source of music at the time (nothing stored locally, otherwise I would have airplane mode'd it). It honestly seems like she's using her ADD as a crutch for being, well, a bitch, when she wants to be. I do know she's got severe ADD, and like me, she has (mild) Tourette's, but I'm also ADD as hell. I've found jobs that work well with my ADD without meds (my gig economy jobs are also not "a job" according to her, despite my paycheck being nearly double her paycheck). She's also blaming my anxiety issues on being in my head, claiming Yoga will fix them. (I've been on meds for over a decade for this poo poo, and you really think yoga will fix it? Yoga apparently also fixes diabetes...)I'm just really loving frustrated, to be honest, and needed to vent. I've started working 50-60 hours a week, just so I can be out of the house... exactly what a friend/former coworker does to get away from his wife. The sudden increase in my income is nice, but I need a car for this, and we never transferred the car from her name to mine.  (paperwork has been printed for a couple of months, but she has nearly year old checks that she still hasn't deposited, like the refund from her last apartment... getting her out of the house to do anything except buy food is worse than pulling teeth).spog posted:You could always move into a trailer with 14" I don't know if Rosie would survive my farts (assuming she eventually showed up).

STR I think you need to have a real discussion with her about it before making reactionary exit plans. I think more than anything you have to lay it out, that your schedule is what it is, and she's going to have to figure out a solution that doesn't disturb her and quit complaining about it. The other stuff could be discussed later or learned to live with, but not getting your sleep is going to gently caress with all your other interactions.

That sucks. Use your words and talk to her about it. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work, but it’s much less likely to work if you’re not talking to her about it.

STR, I think you're both being unreasonable here, and that your post is more about painting yourself as the victim in this when you're just as much of an antagonist as she is. I'm not trying to be an rear end in a top hat here, man, I consider us to be at least internet-pals and whatnot, but honestly it sounds like you're refusing to do anything to better the situation other than just outright bailing. We've all read your perspective, now put yourself in her shoes: Your boyfriend comes home in the middle of the night and then stays up on his computer until 2am after working a job that does not have true long-term prospects (Is he really gonna be an uber-eats/amazon delivery driver for the next 20 years?). After numerous, and probably more heated as time has gone on, requests that he either get a "real job" (real job being one that possibly has long-term stability and saner hours because human beings are not nocturnal no matter how much we claim we are), or not work until 12am are met with him just spouting off about how he makes more money than you this way, and he makes no attempt to alter his hours to be more accomodating because it might mean a reduction in pay. In fact, of late he's doubled-down on work and now the majority of your interactions are when he wakes you up in the middle of the night laughing at dumb poo poo on the internet or finally sliding into bed mere hours before you have to get up for work. Would you date a guy like this? Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 13:21 on Oct 5, 2018 |

How old is the house? There are various codes/regulations/designs that have come and gone over the last 80 years, so I can see that being a selling factor in an old house, saying that it's been updated?

Built in 77, sheets says fully updated except it has electric heat but has a 2 year old high efficiency electric furnace. So possibly not a bad thing, just something they needed to note?

It's what the listing said, I haven't had a place with electric heat in a while. This house also has the equipment installed for solar panels and has a 90 sun number. It had a new roof put on in 2016 and they didn't reinstall the panels for some reason. It's a bit bigger than we need really but we do like it a lot.
