    Relationship struggles with mothers

    It depends. Sometimes it’s the same stuff over and over and sometimes it’s new things. No offense at all. I’m tired of hearing that she’s just “mothering” me. We’re way past that. I’m 36. There’s no need to treat me like a child and judge all of my choices. She’s also always in competition...

    Relationship struggles with mothers

    Thank you for your response! My mom and I have had these talks many times. She doesn’t usually take them seriously except on the rarest occasion and it’s usually because I’m too emotional when it’s happening. It’s like sometimes she gets it and other times she too wrapped up in herself to see...

    Relationship struggles with mothers

    I called my mom for her birthday today to see how her day went. I had a long work day where I was swamped and didn’t get a chance earlier to call, so I called this evening. First of all, I can’t stand silence over the phone so I’ll randomly spout off topics and talk to fill the empty space...

    Do we have a communication issue or what is the problem?

    I don’t disagree with that. The title isn’t totally innocent of that but at the same time that’s what I was wondering as to why we’re not getting on the same page with the cleaning. Just because we hired a cleaning person does not mean that I’m going to stop looking for a couples therapist. He...

    Do we have a communication issue or what is the problem?

    We just hired a cleaning a service to come twice a month so let’s see how that goes and yes, he is paying for it.

    Do we have a communication issue or what is the problem?

    I can comment on that. Lol No, he’s not rich but he makes good money. So do I. We talked last night about hiring someone. He is willing to at least consider paying for it. I have a call with a cleaning company today. Honestly if that fixes this issue, I’m all for it.

    Do we have a communication issue or what is the problem?

    I agree with you and I think this is why we need to be in therapy together because I feel like somebody else needs to tell him that. The problem is we have reached a compromise but then it goes from that to just never doing it or acting like the conversation never happened. We lived together...

    Do we have a communication issue or what is the problem?

    @randomguy @CenotaphGirl @Anarchic Torchic @Tfranklinyo I just wanted to respond to all of your messages because I went to bed last night and then didn’t see all these messages come in. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting a clean space consistently. I don’t want to argue about...

    Do we have a communication issue or what is the problem?

    I think we’re both depressed. We’re kind of living like roommates and we’ve been that way for the last 8 -10 months. He says he’s lazy and that is part of the reason.

    Do we have a communication issue or what is the problem?

    He’s going to look in to that this week and see what it would cost us for someone to come on a regular basis.

    Do we have a communication issue or what is the problem?

    Not sure who else is dealing with this and/or how you found a solution but my bf and I have an issue with cleaning. He’s not a bad bf by any means. He’s very loving, caring, and supportive. He’s the first to offer financial help or pay for something and I truly believe it’s because he cares but...

    It all happened so fast and I don't know how I got here.

    Omg no! :eek: I hope to never be on Hoarders. I've seen that show and people are at their worst. Actually, thank you for bringing that up. It makes me realize that we're not at that point in our lives. I'm going to go gather up all the clothes in the bedroom now. 😶

    It all happened so fast and I don't know how I got here.

    I'm sitting in my living room typing this out and wondering for the millionth time how I got here? Maybe it was the pandemic, being unemployed, or switching jobs so often. I'm not sure. During the pandemic, I moved to another state with my boyfriend of almost two years. We didn't really have a...

    One positive thing you accomplished today...

    I don't know. That's a tough question. So far, I spent most of my weekend just lounging about, napping, and eating junk food. That's a pretty typical weekend for me since I don't like to leave the house anymore unless I have to. I remembered to water my plant, which is something I've struggled...
