What’s a relationship?

Something that can happen with another person if you don’t feel obligated to work 60+ hours every single week?

(I was a great employee with a killer work ethic while married to DH#1, holding down two jobs for the last ten years of the marriage. Once I met DH#2 and developed a life, the whole work ethic thing kind of petered out over the next five years, until I said eff it and retired. lol)

lol

Just the internet convention of “Dear Husband”, spoken through slightly gritted teeth. Although the other interpretation would probably fit too.

And to clarify, working insane hours didn’t ruin the marriage. I worked insane hours because I knew it wasn’t going to last, and I was sheltering in front of a computer to escape the sadness. Stuff you do while looking at your watch and waiting.

Yeah, sorry, I just wanted to clarify that the marriage wasn’t a victim of overwork. There were issues from the get-go that I should have seen and didn’t (too young and naive.) Once I figured it out, we already had kids. He was a pretty terrible husband, but he was a kinda OK, not-bad father, and I didn’t want to put the kids through all that. We stayed together for nearly thirty years, got the kids raised and out of the house, before letting it go. (I initiated the split.)

Look toward the future, not to the past!

That’s just too damn early. Why does our world make 11-year-olds think that they have to have boyfriends, instead of just a crush?

I can’t keep track: is this niece the daughter of the seriously whack-a-doodle SIL? (hope not) Or from another branch of the family tree?

This is from the sister in texas who left her husband. She's seen nothing but drama from her mom, I'm afraid she'll grow right into that lifestyle. She, while she had this boyfriend she's sobbing over, got in trouble last week for giving her number to an 18 year old boy. She's freaking 11.
