      Well he’ll never face criminal justice cuz he’ll either pardon himself or have his final Big Mac Attack - and then he’s replaced by Vance. My wish is for him to golf and tweet his way through another 4 years and hopefully the Dems get their shit more together.

      man, similar boat. sometimes she can’t even stand straight without teetering, and I’m tired of fighting over it. if anything, this will be the cause to our end.

      I know how people here feel about reddit, but https://old.reddit.com/r/Alanon can help you get away or communicate better possibly.

      Oooft hope my wife wouldn’t write something like this about me. No actual drama but my routine of being a middle-class wine drinker sinking glasses in front of the tv in the evening could be considered problematic.

        as long as you handle all your responsibilities, it is what it is. when I can’t communicate with my partner or have to keep asking her to handle responsibilities or have the exact same conversation every day because she can’t remember? that’s a big problem. if I can’t trust my partner, then why are we together.

          That does sound worse. Hope you guys manage to navigate this bumpy patch.

          Merry Christmas too!

    I’d like to skip Christmas, I get nothing out of it but headaches. I don’t enjoy the family get togethers (individually or in small groups my family is mostly fine, but all of them at once is too much) I don’t want anything that can reasonably be asked for or given as a present, and I don’t have any space for the useless junk I’ll inevitably receive.

    What I need/want is money. I’m not struggling, but I have projects and things I’m saving up for and whatever they’d spend on gifts if they feel like they need to give me something I’d much rather them just give me the cash or Venmo me. They’re not going to gift me a new heater, deck, washer/dryer, paint for my living room, etc. the best I can hope for is some gift cards to Lowes, home Depot, etc. and inevitably the cards will all be to different places so I can’t even use them all on what they’re intended to go towards, and there’s a good chance that once I’ve saved up enough I’ll get the best price at a store I don’t even have any gift cards for, so they’re going to sit around collecting dust because I’ll never remember to grab them when I need to go buy a box of screws or something.

    Just give me cash.

          It surely isn’t. True freedom is the ability to do whatever you want. You’re so worried about the supply side of that equation that you forget you can affect the demand side.

          To put an example to it: I already live in a world where I can rape and murder as much as I want. I don’t want to do those things, so I have the full freedom to meet my desires.

    I have all that I can reasonably want that I could reasonably be given, so I’m making a gift instead, I’m off donating blood in half an hour, hopefully someone will appreciate it 😋

    I want my council tax bill paid. They didn’t take it for two years straight due to an administrative error - I even had a direct debit setup - but have only just now realised on their side and now they want all of it back at once. Paid off a big lump of it immediately but had to go on a payment plan where they take an extra £400 per month for the next quarter.

      I HATE how errors like this favor the company. THEY fucked up, but can just dump it all on you.

      yes they can argue that you shouldn’t have spent the money and should have noticed, but if it were reversed, they’d fight to not pay you and delay it most likely. people that don’t understand “shit happens” suck.
