I hate my runaway SIL. I hope she never comes home. Stay out there with your pedophile boyfriend, sweetheart. Except I think you're getting a little old for his tastes. So you've chosen to destroy your family over a guy who cheats on you daily, steals from everyone he comes in contact with, and can hardly hold down a job at a fast food restaurant. Where will that

Parents whose kids say they're moving back in should get a backbone. Why should they sit around and eat your food, watch your TV, use your utilities? So they don't have enuf money for rent. So what...they can do what you did - have a few roommates or live in an attic efficency apartment. In cases like these it's not only the kids who need to grow up but the parents too. Stop raising losers.

Many years ago, my uncle divorced his 2nd wife; they remained friendly. One day, she and her dd from a previous marriage stopped by & they decided to order in lunch. My uncle gave the girl money to go get the food and told her to get lottery tickets with what was left over. He hit for $10 million. His ex-wife sued for half of the winnings - and won.

DH did it again!!! Called when he got off and said he was taking friend/co-worker home, and was going to hang out for a while. Asked if I wanted to order out and I said no, I'm cooking for you. Called just now on way home to say he'd picked up Jamaican food for us, do I want the goat or the ox? NEITHER! I COOOKED! He does this almost all the time, the ONE time I anticipated it and didn't cook, he DIDN'T do it. He even did it on NYE after HE expressly bought seafood for our NYE dinner! grrrr

Last night when we got home I realized the lights been turned off. My DDs did not want to enter the dark house, they are under 7 yrs. I had to tell them it was another blackout like when it stormed and the tree fell on the electrical line. Felt too embrassed to tell them I could not pay the electric this month barely money for food. Do not know what to tell them tonight :(

Why does everything have to be so INTENSE with me? I think it's because I was so, so, so good for so long. Now, I can't stop at 2 drinks and they can't be mild. My food is always full of hot spices. My clothes are so punchy, my hair wild, my make-up so done. Satisfying sex with my DH wasn't enough, the affairs didn't do it. Now I've met someone I'm falling for. My orgasms last well over 2 minutes.I'm getting piercings,working my way towards a tatoo. I crave dark, moody, intense feelings. It's all to my detriment and yet I can't stop. It sucks. What's next? Cutting?

I'm an executive chef and restaurateur.DH is a huge fan of my food and devours every dish I put in front of him.MIL cannot stand it.She feels that she's no longer the number one cook in his life.She's constantly sending food home and when we get together once a week,she demands to know which dish was DH's favorite.In her effort to surpass me she has made disastrous food experiments and almost burned her kitchen.I've begged him to tell her he loves her food more than mine and get done with it.But he's having too much fun.I confess...so am I!

H and I bought our first house at ages 21 and 24. We both worked and could afford it. We paid mtg. payments through the yrs when he finished college and then I did. We didn't have any help and did not graduate with any college loan debt. While in school we didn't go to movies or to clubs, didn't drink or smoke. I bought our clothes in thrift shops. I learned to coupon and make food from scratch. No fast food. We are well off now because we did it right. I feel sorry for people who think partying through their 30s is a good life. They're stupid not to be building toward something worthwhile.

I told H I was going to fix myself something to eat. He comes in the kitchen & farts. I'm gagging & lose appetite cuz it's so nasty. I go watch tv. He decides to put my food on a plate with his nasty/dirty bare hands & put in the microwave for 3mins. I tell him turn it off I don't want it anymore. He doesn't listen. 3 hours later, I'd like to eat it but reheating would dry it out & feel like tasting crumbs. 10pm he's out getting me food (we have pretty much nothing left til payday) instead of sleeping. When I say I don't want something, it means I don't want it! Now food is ruined.

I love my DH but I may stop cooking. Here are some of his 'rules': NO seafood, mushrooms, or lamb of any kind. No food described as 'sour'. No fruit in green salads, or in hot dishes (fruit is breakfast) NO bones, or any other inedible parts of food items on plates. NO runny eggs or steaks less than medium-well. Sauces or gravies MUST be served in small bowls, on the side for dipping (and are always viewed with suspicion.) When he can get away with it, everyone at the table obeys his rules, or he can't eat. I have stopped talking about kids because I don't want this passed on to a child.
