I don't know if this is the right sub for this issue or not, but I figured you all would understand my pain the best. We've been separated/divorced for over 7 yrs. I was the one who initiated the separation because he would belittle me to a point that I would feel these thoughts creep up saying, "Maybe I really am as bad as he says and treats me. Maybe I do deserve this. Maybe my son would be better off if I was "gone"." When I heard that last thought I knew I need to leave. I was very lucky to have such supportive friends who helped during this time. My ex didn't make the divorce easy, and i ..read more

For quick context: During Covid (2019) when we were put in mandatory stay at home orders, I 30F was pregnant after a 5 m relationship. He(33M) moved in to be close to the baby bc we were in lock down & never left. Quickly I learned we weren’t compatible & honestly we have broken up probably every single month since but he refuses to move out so we just keep moving on in the relationship. He has never once helped me with rent or household bills (which is what many fights have been), he’ll pay for food when we go out to eat & groceries maybe once a month. (He makes the same amount a ..read more

So in my sleep-deprived stupor, I seemed to have accidently tossed one of my twin's PJ pants into the laundry machine earlier with the previous nights' pee-soaked pull up somehow trapped in the pants leg. Said pull-up how now exploded in the laundry machine, and I just discovered thousands of gross little gel-bead things. Absolutely everywhere. In the machine, in our clothes, all over. Does anyone have any idea what to do here?? I keep finding them all over the place. submitted by /u/ImpossibleCampaign39 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
