All I can say is to be patient. Eventually he’ll realize that dating high school kids isn’t the way to go. There are women closer to his age that don’t want children, either. Eventually, he’ll figure that out.
He’s still growing up. He’s made some bad choices, but doesn’t sound like an inherently bad person. Thank you for tolerating, and answering, my questions. I wish you the best.
Okay. So we’re not talking about a hurt man here. He just wants to have fun without the responsibilities. The best thing I can say is that I’m glad he was mature enough to take his ex’s feelings into account. A lot of “men” are too selfish and immature to do that. That speaks well of both him and your parenting.
By 29 you’d expect the awkwardness to be over, but it isn’t. He could very well feel like he isn’t ready to start a family. I know the environment is a major concern for a lot of people - he simply may not want to bring children into a world that he believes is doomed. Has he ever expressed this concern to you?
Please note that I’m not building up to a point where I defend his dating a high school student. I think it’s gross. I’m just trying to understand why he might make such a choice.
My first thought is REBOUND RELATIONSHIP. His long-term breakup may have been “amicable”, but it seems like it hurt him more than you (or possibly even he) realize. I think a major part of what he likes about his new girlfriend is being in a relationship where he clearly has the upper hand.
Whose idea was the breakup? “It was both of theirs” is not a real answer. Someone had to initiate the conversation. Who was it?

Fuck. I knew things were going badly for Ukraine, but not this badly.
You just never know what kind of connections an annoying soon-to-be-ex-coworker may have. Maybe you finally found a good mechanic…but they’re in the same bowling league as coworker you just told off. Maybe they’re best friends with someone wonderful you’ll meet in a few years. Etc, etc. Life is weird like that.
A brief catharsis, no matter how well deserved, isn’t worth the lasting negative impressions you’ll make. Remember the old saying: “success is the best revenge.” Build a good life for yourself. Then, if you happen to run into one those goons years down the road, you can talk about what you’re doing with pride. It will feel much better than any venting possibly could.
The ladder one is my favorite.
It was either shaving or the vest.
I’m sorry for your pain and guilt. If I was in your grandmas position, though, morphine toxicity is how I’d prefer to go.
All divorces suck, but yours will be especially difficult. Your husband sounds like he has all the connections and resources to make it an absolute nightmare for you.
Maybe the press will pick up on that “defamation” lawsuit he’s filing. If the facts of the case are as clear as you say, perhaps public opinion will be on your side. I’d love it if you could use his own hubris to your advantage!
Regardless, you have my condolences. You’re in a terrible situation. I’d recommend therapy to help work through it. I wish you the best.
This doesn’t sound “malware-like”. It sounds like just plain malware.

The can of chili should be a can of beans, obviously. Other than that, good chart!
Out of the loop. What is that white thing?
I think that most or all of us understand that any post like this is suspect. It’s just more fun to play along than shit on everything.
Condescending to us just makes you look pathetic, not smart.
I’d like to see this fuckstick standing on his feet all day, and asking his supervisor for permission to pee. Then we’ll see how he feels about eliminating weekends.
I’m sure they’re hanging on his every word.
I love the photo of the “US officials”. They look exactly like the kind of soulless, miserable human beings who would do this sort of thing.
