lol! Good call.
Lots of good ideas so far.

Maybe try Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.
It's a vey unique place.
He sounds like a real asshole.
Counseling for you both, or plan to leave him.
Let's see a picture of you naked and I can give you a rating.

In any case, the fact that he would not discuss this with you at all over the last three months is not a good sign, and should have been heeded as such. Obviously, he was mulling it over in his own mind -- possibly for the entire three months -- and he decided that he couldn't or didn't want to cope with it.


I don't have and never had a true family even though I have a child. I was in an abusive relationship that continues to pay in spades, clearly.


YOU AND YOUR CHILD ARE A FAMILY!!! Please do not dismiss your child - your responsibility - in this way. Perhaps you should focus more on that and less on dating, at least for the time being.


Yes we are a family, but it does not feel like a complete family for many reasons.


Please don't look for a man to complete your family when you feel a piece is missing like this. My brother is doing that now and latched onto a psycho crazy bitch who's out to destroy his young kids. This kind of thinking puts you in an extremely vulnerable place. You child needs you as his/her stable rock.

This is very good advice here.
The most important thing you can do right now is to raise your kid.

Thanks everyone - this helps a lot!

Doable.
Tough, and you'll be packing a lot in, but those are absolutely spectactular.

Yes. He can come up with something. Baked beans, green beans, black beans & corn, homemade french fries....

Also, get or make a North Carolina Style BBQ sauce (really the only true BBQ sauce ). It is vinegar based, spicy, and so yummy. Avoid thick sauces or if it says anything other than NC style.


Here's an easy home made recipe for NC style BBQ sauce for pork:
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon Texas Pete's
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Bring to boil, lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

I really like this recipe: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/soy-cola-braised-pork-shoulder (but I cook it at lower heat and for much longer than it calls for). And you can make ahead and heat it back up for the party. Am sure you'd also save money doing it yourself (and you can often find pork shoulder on sale super cheap - I wouldn't use tenderloin like PP did because it's too expensive for this braising type recipe - cheap cuts are actually better). But also, it's just so easy that I'd almost hate to pay for it.


OP here. Yeah the price comparison is just crazy, I am realizing. I have a BJs membership...will have to check out their prices on pork butt/shoulder or look at grocery store sales. Thanks for the recipe. I am thinking that for this crowd I may have to do a bit more of a plain jane version. Lots of picky eaters

While I like BJ's a lot for various cuts of meat, their pork shoulder butts are terrible. It's a real bony cut that they sell. I like the shoulder blade roasts that Safeway sells for pork bbq.
Plus a good vinegar based sauce.

I wouldn't buy condoms. I've always insisted on guys using them but never purchased them. And guess what? With the exception of one time, they've always had them. (Then again, I was usually at their places. The 1 exception was at my place.) the 1 guy ran out and bought some.

I say no to buying only because they may have their favorites, need a certain size, etc

Gotta disagree here. You want him to have to run out the drugstore when things are getting heated up?
They have a long expiration date. You'll use them eventually.

I don't think there is anything you can do. You married an asshole. You should certainly put your foot down and be firm and tell him never to make a comment like that again but he won't understand it because he is a dick.
