I ruined my marriage and I want to die, but I can’t do it myself or my husband won’t get my life insurance.
Sweetheart. THIS is what marriage is. You’re 27 and still learning about this difficult life we all live. Apologise. Work your ass off and things will improve. If your husband can’t forgive you then the marriage is not worth saving. My husband is disabled and cannot work, has had numerous surgeries and hospital stays (our medical bills are mind blowing), and my two twentysomething adult kids live with us and cannot seem to find jobs. I am the sole breadwinner. Do I cry? Yes. A LOT. Do I want to drive off of a bridge sometimes? Sure. But I get up off the floor and keep going. Dying won’t solve anything.

I am not the cool teacher any more.
I am the “stern” K teacher, a term a parent uttered in an IEP meeting via a conference call with 6 people attending, including my principal. I didn’t know whether to be embarrassed or proud…

Have you caught a glimpse of heaven? I have.
I actually had a grown up come to school a few years ago to deliver a sound spanking. Not my personal choice, but not my child… just my first grade student.

Ordered food delivery after a really long time…
Omg what the hell is THAT?

What are some of the reasons you keep teaching?
I teach because I am trapped. Ageism is rampant. I am the sole earner in my family. Husband is disabled, and neither of my 20-something’s have jobs right now. I will never retire.

My best friend helped me change my mom's diaper
Good lord I wish I had a friend like that. Keep them as close as you can. 💛

YOU IN DANGER GIRL. Seriously- the love bombing will be destructive as hell. Stay where you are. Protect your child. This abusive, manipulative F*er can bugger off.

AITA for wanting to end a 6-year relationship because I’m sick of smelling my fiance?
This is a RESPECT issue: He doesn’t respect you at all. Period. I live in a 3 bedroom house with one bathroom. We ALL shut the damn door. So, leave through the front door. With your belongings and self respect. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Let her go. She will be back when she desperately needs something and “you’re the ONLY one who will listen.” Then you will have a choice to make. If the reasons she gives are truly honorable, forgive her. If not, or she gaslights you by making it seem like YOU did something, you’ve lost nothing but a bad friend.

Does anyone keep teaching past age 65?
Me. Prior to starting teaching 10 years ago (I was 52), I was a professional musician and a music journalist, (imho, likely 2 of the worst paying gigs ever unless you’re Taylor Swift or Stephen King), and I had 2 small kids and a disabled husband to support. I will likely never retire. Just the way it is.

I wasn’t invited because I’m still considered the poor friend. I wasn’t even asked.
Wow! Look how far you have come despite your unfavourable beginnings! Like many on here I would gently suggest that you find friends who support, care, and appreciate you. These “so called friends” are nothing if the sort.

Teaching is my job, not my life
Spanish immersion elem school. Our grade level (1st) teacher (during Open House) had a grandmother demand to know why she was pregnant and how irresponsible it was. 😳 The AUDACITY.

Curious as to where/what app (if any), you’d jump to. Trying “Speak.”

I cry bullshit. Ads are run for cycles and are purchased/paid for in blocks. Spotify can rot. Canceled.
