Catherine, it takes a lot for me to get to the quitting part. I stayed in my second marriage for my kids for 22 years to someone controlling and verbally abusive. I enabled my drug addict son for a...

Too funny:))
Frugal, you don’t have any actual real friends after living there a long time?
Super burrito
I have been to Boston twice and loved it. Took public transit of course. Too big to live there for me and I am sure too expensive.
Women were definitely second class citizens whether Alan believes it or not. IL many women in the 50’s didn’t drive and even if they did they weren’t running their kids around like people do today...
I too miss Lake Michigan and enjoy it when I go back to Wisconsin. I also loved the forest and mountains of New York. The only part of Maine I have been to was beautiful but I couldn’t live in a...
If I had 3 homes while married he would have messed them all up and I would have been cleaning all of them. I am guessing that your husband is not a slob. I am going to use my polish pottery good...
Catherine, I grew up in the Midwest and few women worked and if they did it was once the kids were older. Kids had to go home from school for lunch unless you were bused in. My mom paid a friend’s...
Steve, I totally agree and we have had a similar experience in our city neighborhood for the same reasons.
My mom went to work when I turned 12 and was old enough to be home alone after school until my dad got home. She worked second shift.
Pinky toe, you are right that this virus has definitely made everything harder. People are spending so much time together without having relief. Plus not seeing friends has added to the misery.
Plus with women in general not in the work force once the kids went to school they had to be bored out of their minds. Ugh!
I have moved so many times and started over. I would focus on the motivation for moving which was to live by your kids and grandchildren. It’s a bonus living by your parents for as long as you have...
I was on city data reading what wives had to say about their husbands in their older years. Many descriptions included much more angry outbursts, road rage and in general just much harder to live...
Tybee, what don’t you like about Maine? I know that if you move to a small town in upstate New York it takes about 10 years to be accepted even if you came from another small town around there....
Tybee and HS, thanks. Luckily I am not good at wallowing. I have always handled problems by thinking things could be worse. They say if we all threw our problems in a bucket and could choose...
I am hungry about noon and not very hungry at night. This works great for me and I don’t go to bed full. At 5 I feed the dog, get my snack and watch the news.
We didn’t know our neighbors in the suburbs but do now that we live in town. It will be interesting to see what happens in the condo building.
You are human and can’t expect to be perfect. Don’t blame yourself. You are probably walking around on eggshells. You didn’t create this situation and neither did he. You have to accept and move on....
I am a fussy eater so will just keep eating what I am. I envision that the weight loss will make a difference. I will know in August.
Meatloaf and rice, veggies. I eat my big meal at noon and have a snack at night.
Steve, I used your formula and my ratio is 2.4 and that’s before losing weight.
So your parents have 2 sons that they enable and they judged you. Wow that’s awful. When they die the one brother is going to have a rude awakening as is the other if his wife gets sick of him being...
You crazy woman:)).
