Goddamn, that's pathetic I heard a story about a guy who got his like 20+ year bonsai stolen Beside himself, and when he was interviewed he just spoke about how to care for it in the hope that the thieves would look after it I recently tried to do some Mulberry cuttings 50cm tall to 15cm, should be interesting to grow and I can on sell the cuttings that take but I don't want

Thought the town pub would be quiet to get an early sit down steak in as a form of self care but I forgot this town is mostly retired folks so I'm actually in prime time dine in hours rn. They also boarded off the alcove full of dead arcade machines which is my preferred nook for eating. Love to slam a steak in the disused Daytona booth

The stupidest thing imo about Australian culture apart from the racism and genocide and all that is that in places with space issues, the sports bar and the sit down meal area are always the first to merge, who wants to eat a meal with the races on and the dickhead punters going off at their fuckwit horses? Who enjoys that

I spent most of my day in timber yards for materials for a new bed. Also giving out little gifts to some of the people who work in shops I frequent. Also laughing and pointing over the fence at my neighbour who got in a LOT of trouble from his missus thanks to me and alcohol last night.

I’m spending the weekend camping down near Donnybrook and it’s been great. I came over to Perth for work for the week and my mate was going camping so I stayed the weekend and gatecrashed. It’s a good crowd here. We had smoked beef rib tacos.

I’ve intentionally left my personal stuff out of SA for years but I’m kinda at a rough spot. I’m splitting up with my partner of 7 years due to several reasons that I’m not gonna go into - we’ve grown apart, to put it plainly. They’ll be taking our kid most nights, possibly all, while I live with my parents. I can’t reasonably afford rent in Sydney, child care and child support out of my $60k income. Because my partner has no income (rich family and has recently returned to uni) they’re entitled to pretty high support figures and probably half of my savings and super. Reading articles around this and it’s pretty grim. I haven’t worked for years and years to scrimp and save so I can drive an Uber after work. Does anyone have experience with this sort of situation? How did it go?

Start cutting the expensive honey with normal stuff gradually until you have completely replaced the expensive stuff with regular honey

I’m splitting up with my partner of 7 years due to several reasons that I’m not gonna go into - we’ve grown apart, to put it plainly. Make sure that any articles you are reading are based on Australian law. You are entitled to advice from Legal Aid even if you don't meet their criteria for representation. Make an appointment for an advice clinic session. Your partner should not have no income. They should be eligible for Parenting Payment (single) or Austudy in addition to Family Tax Benefit (which is a significant amount when rent assistance is included). It's possible that her tax-free income will work out to be more than your post-tax income. Child care will cost her very little, so your share of the cost won't be huge. Don't rush into making decisions. It's better to take your time and make the right ones. Centrelink will require her to open a Child Support Agency case. Don't take it personally. Try to be kind to each other. Lolie fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Nov 28, 2020 |

Not the advice you wanted specifically but while you feel poo poo now and likely will until all the formalities are done with, life will get better. Your shitposting family will always be here for you.

well why not posted:Does anyone have experience with this sort of situation? How did it go? Don't fight. Accept the inevitability of a huge financial hit as soon as you can because arguing about it only means that all of your money for the foreseeable goes to the lawyers instead of 60-70% going to your ex. Settle the financials as soon as you can. The sooner you get it over with the sooner you can get on with your life and try to recover. Don't fight. DON'T FIGHT. Don't lose sight of the important bit which is keeping your kid in your life, happy and healthy. Edit: Also depends on you but a mental health check with your GP periodically is not a bad idea. Post divorce was the worst few years of my life and I would not be posting at you if I hadn't been on top of it. YMMV Carth Dookie fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Nov 28, 2020 |

I’m splitting up with my partner of 7 years due to several reasons that I’m not gonna go into - we’ve grown apart, to put it plainly. be willing to have lots of adult, mature conversations with your ex. I broke up with my baby mumma 2.5 years ago and now we both live together in the same house so we can both be as involved in our daughters life as possible. definitely get advice from legal aide. was your ex working before going to uni? it might not be so clear cut how child support and stuff works if they were providing financially through most of the relationship. also they will eventually finish uni and probably find work so there's that to consider as well. but you need to have the proper advice to know where you actually stand. poo poo always feels insurmountable at the start but it will get better if you both are sensible. this isn't taking a shot at you, but why can't you have joint custody?

Thanks for advice all. I can’t really do joint custody cos I work through the day. My parents are not healthy and are pushing 70. It might be an option but kid has been full time parented their entire life @ 2.5. Lots to work out, trying to avoid fights. Still cohabiting and it’s good most days but can be hosed when things come up. I blew up (for me this is slightly raising my voice to “audible” levels from v quiet) when looking at finances together and seeing that I’d have Like $200 a week to live on, after working over a decade and saving and saving - while S/O has worked only a few years of our relationship. Not including parenting which is hard work. I mean, paid work.

Unless you're doing shift work, you'll be fine and it will be a good thing for your child's development, too.

thank you again Lolie that’s a good clue. Stuff still developing here but the goal is to keep a good relationship going for the benefit of everyone. S/O isn’t a monster and I’m not very emotional so I don’t see it being that hard eventually. We’re talking how we’re gonna split times, living arrangements and parental rules already. I’m gonna be ok.

well why not posted:thank you again Lolie that’s a good clue. That's a really good way to go it if you can, I had to eat a mountain of poo poo financially and emotionally but came out the other side after a few years with a decent relationship with the ex and we both work together to do the best for our kid. All it takes is one party willing to swallow their pride or hold their tongue instead of telling the other to get hosed. Sounds like you've got it well in hand but Lolie's advice is pretty good to bear in mind.
