I am so mad. I saved a bunch of money so I could finally have a decent wardrobe. Well two of the sweaters I bought are unravelling. It's too late to bring them back. Cheap pieces of junk, I hate how bad the quality of reasonably priced clothes are these days.

I used to have irritable bowel syndrome until I cut out all the foods that seemed to aggravate me. I kept a food diary and did an elimination diet and eventually figured out which foods really bothered me. In my case (and everyone is different) I cannot tolerate diet ANYTHING. No sugar free crap, no wheat, no raw brocolli,cauliflower or celery (cooked is OK), also very sugary foods seem to put me over the edge, even if they are natural sugar. Now I am usually gas free. It used to be baaaaaad years ago. So very bad.

I just got off the phone with my so-called friend. My husband and I are going on a trip and I was so excited. My friend just gets quiet and says "That's so great that everything is happening for you but I don't think you deserve it." I got really quiet and asked her why and she said "Well, look at you! You are fat! It seems weird to think that someone like you will be going to Paris."Ow. Ow, really bad.

I have been trying to get confidence by into myself. It is hard when a relative constantly puts me down or makes me feel weird for not liking the same gaudy but expensive jewelry as her. I work out on my own at home and get bashed on by her for not going to the gym or putting up my weight loss before or after pictures online (why would I do that? People knew I used to be really overweight so what is the point of putting up bad pictures of myself compared to how I look now?). I have been finding my own style but I am sick of her comparing it to hers. I don't wear the things she does because I prefer my own look. Whenever I finally stick up for myself she just says that I am "threatened" by her. I am not, I am just sick and tired of being put down for not fitting her standards. I don't wear as much make up as her because I tend to get skin problems, I don't straighten my hair out because I have wavy hair that I like (when its tamed) and I don't wear expensive clothes because I am trying to save money and I like the outfits to look simple so I can dress it up or down with jewelry or scarves. I am the opposite of her but I am just sick of being put down when she tries to compare us.

I feel bad that I feel good about my BIL being as fucked up as DH. He's falling apart now but it's like he's finally feeling real feelings for the first time in years. He's not just a liar and a user hiding behind a facade. You have to face it all eventually. Running from your past wasn't working. You can keep living a lie but it hasn't worked so far. I don't see it working out for the rest of your life.

I got into all sorts of trouble when I was a teenager, but there were never any sort of consequences. I was promiscuous at a very early age, had a computer in my room that I did bad things with, I didn't care about my grades at all, got drunk almost every weekend, met with men who were 21+ years old, the list goes on. Both of my parents owned their own businesses, and were more focused on that and their adult life than me and my brother. I did some pretty crazy things (some of which they actually found out about), but never got punished. My parents pride themselves on how they raised us, but I feel a lot of resentment towards them for not bothering to actually PARENT us. They think that because I turned out ok eventually, that they must have done a good job. Whatever. I think my brother and I would have made fewer bad decisions if we thought our parents actually cared.

Is there anything that can be done about a coworker that farts off and on all throughout the day? She is already disliked by everyone because she's such a psycho. People complain about her laziness, bad attitude about her job, and her strong horrible perfume, but she rarely gets in trouble. Now all of a sudden she is farting. You can't hear it, but she's stinking up the place and she not only does it around her coworkers, but around our clients also. She's a piece of shit!

Poor dh, such bad luck with people on the phone today. He took out a loan for our trip to visit his family over Christmas and set it up so the payment automatically came out of his check (he's military) so we didn't have to worry about paying it. Well something happened and they only got half of the payment for April. Someone called him this morning and he told them he couldn't talk to them right now because they were about to make him late for formation. It's a company that only loans out to service members, idk why they would even call at that time. The guy swore at him! As dh was hanging up the guy said "well don't put this on the fucking backburner!" So he gets home and looks at his mypay to see what's wrong and decides to just delete it all and start over since something was wrong with the one he set up. We called to get the information and the lady there demanded the other half of the payment before she would give him any information. He told her he couldn't make the payment at this time but wanted to fix the allotment issue. She grilled him as to why he couldn't pay right now. Threatened that if we didn't pay by may 1 that his info would get sent to collection and he said "ok..." And she got all pissy about how he didn't sound scared. What's he going to do? Beg her not to? We're convinced it's their fault the payment got messed up but are trying to fix it and they are trying to intimidate and scare him into doing what they want?

I don't care what you think, why do you care what I think? I'll say what I want and if you don't like it, then that's cool too! It makes no difference! And if I don't like you, that doesn't mean you're a bad person it just means I don't like you! Don't try to convince me to like you, that will only serve to annoy me and I will like you even less. I dunno, maybe I have some social disorder. Definitely introverted. I just have no give-a-shit.

DH has a history of bipolar. He refuses to get help. I don't how much more of this I can take.Some days he is fine, some not too bad, some horrible. Last week he argued with me at 630am when I had a sore throat and a cough. I had mentioned that maybe his son from his first marriage should not visit this weekend because I dont want to get him sick. He "Let me know right now so I can text (exdw) now because if I wait till Friday she wlll be pissed" It would have been nice if he just had the common effing sense to tell her I was sick and its best I dont get his son sick and have him next weekend instead. So I ended up saying no and feeling like the bad guy. Today he went to Taco Bell and didin't get me anything. He knew I hadnt eaten lunch yet. I told him it would it would have been nice if he called and asked if I wanted something. He told me he wasn't going to "let me guilt him" and went in the other room to eat.. We were both off work today. I am going to ask my boss if I can switch my day off next week to a day when DH will be working. We have only been married 3 years.I think about leaving him then remember the days when he is fine and loving. The day I had the sore throat I was very close to mentioning divorce. My heart is breaking, but at the same time, I wonder what my life would be like without him, and all the exdw/stepson drama (he jumps when she says to).
