She eats because she can't stop eating. If there were a dozen donuts she would gobble them up in an hour. The only reason I stay is because of the kids and the only reason the kids are not obese is because of me. |
How old are the kids? How long are you going to stay in the unhappy marriage? |
Good Heavens, I've not looked at DCUM in days. We're up to 70 pages with this? A S/O thread is in order. Maybe next week. |
Sidebar: You honestly think you wasted your time by living life during your twenties instead of career-building? Wow. If you make it to 90, what do you think you'll look back more fondly on: working, or having fun and travelling when you were young and carefree? |
Not at all, you can barely hide your contempt for SAHM's, you must have some underlying unhappiness with your own choices. You are the one who sees no difference between a mistress and a wife -- I guess your marriage is some exalted partnership simply because you work outside the home. Or so you implied, nothing wrong with my comprehension. |
Sounds to me like your wife has an eating disorder. If you really cared about your wife, you would know that. Instead you call her names behind her back. Don't think your kids aren't picking up on your disdain for their mother. I hope you don't have any daughters. |
+1. No one on her deathbed regrets having not spent enough time at the office. |
Op is free to leave IF she is willing to give up the roof over her head, the food on her table, the gym, the spa and all the other goodies that her married boyfriend gives to her. She has also been barely employed for years, apparently has never had a full time job, has little to qualify her to get a full time job and would have to rely on certain friends to (hopefully) give her a place to stay and some work - assuming that they even stay in the area. In the meantime, her peers have been struggling to make ends meet BUT have earned some valuable work experience, they are making a name for themselves in the industry and they are building lives for themselves maybe falling in love, getting engaged. The longer Op shelves her life the farther and farther she is falling behind her peers, the more and more ground she will have to make up. I'm guessing that at 24 she already has a sense that she is behind. In the next couple of years it will hit her like a ton of bricks. That's how fast time flies... |
Op, I am so sorry these folks have ruined your thread. I really miss you and wish you would come back. I'm really interested to know if you are feeling better. I'm concerned about you. Do you have plans for the weekend? What's your guy up to? Are you seeing your mom for Mother's day? |
So he pocketed a million dollars every year for 4 years. That is a crap load of money. He didn't wind up with that bankroll because he was frugal, he has that money because he had a generous rich boyfriend. If that boyfriend had been more of a control freak, he would not have 4 million dollars. You can bestow a lavish lifestyle on someone without making THEM wealthy - just ask the Op. |
Why don't you tell Op how smart she is and how wonderful this will be for her in the long run? If you think she is doing a great thing - tell her! Don't be shy, pat that girl on the back. |
Ugh, the last thing I wanted was for my husband to rush home. If getting fat would have kept him off me, I would have sucked down bacon milkshakes all day long. |
+1 OP, it was gorgeous today! What did you do? |
![]() Mmmmm bacon milkshake |
Another married woman who likely stays in her marriage because her husband provides for her. But that is fine but what OP does is wrong. In the world of DCUM, there is nothing wrong with the wife but the OP is evil personified. |
