So the home warranty company is covering it? That's awesome!
ah, no.
The plumber called and said it seemed like the warranty company latched onto the "preexisting condition" excuse. The warranty only covers "non obvious preexisting conditions". Which, the plumber believes it is, but doesn't know how he would prove it to the warranty company. Fine line and open to interpretation.
He thought it would be a waste of time to pursue the warranty and instead said he'd do it for $150, as long as the actual fixture didn't need replaced.

Sounds like you found yourself a keeper-plummer! Glad it's getting fixed.
I'm wiped. Totally wiped. There was little sleep to be had last night and what little I got was fitful. Let's just say things i needed to get done tonight will not be getting done tonight.
And I felt enough like shit this morning that I drowned myself in a McD's breakfast. I have regrets.
I just signed DH & I up for an 8k next weekend. I twisted his arm about it because he's not running much. I'm bummed about not doing the relay I was asked about earlier this year, but I still hadn't gotten any details and it is only a week away.
PS, I hope you two can connect soon. And I'll ditto everyone else on the plumber.
Dixie, you've been having a rough go of it lately. I hope you're able to get some rest (lots of rest even) tonight. I vote that you go easy on yourself for you breakfast choices and just try to do a little better the rest of the day, if you can.
I'm gerring an oil change and timing belt service today. Goodbye money, it was nice knowing you.

Hugs PS and Dixie!!
Stbx wants to get together this weekend to separate the cell phones and close the joint account. Part of me is excited to have this done, the other part of me is not looking forward to having to spend that much time with him. And I'm angry because it means I will have to spend money that I hadn't planned on spending right this second. Ugh!

H and I got into it last night. Since the cat died he's been acting like a doucher and I'm not putting up with it. So we have been fighting again. Between the nanny search, job search, PF, H's schooling (final year of MBA so aside from classes it's also thesis), still living out of plastic bags we're beyond stretched and irritable. It's gotten messy.
We were doing so much better, working together, and making a conscious effort not to take out our stress on each other and then 2 weeks ago that went to shit.

Do you two really have to do those things together? Also, if you're not ready to spend the money, especially if it would make your budget too tight, don't do it right now.
I think you two being separate in these ways will be a very good thing. I just don't like to see you doing things on his terms.
I just started my period. The first one since January of LAST year. I knew it was coming. I knew it. I said, Motzie, go stock up on tampons. But did I stock up? No, and now I have to start asking around.
Starries, I'd be looking forward to that too, but I also don;t think you should feel obligated to do it now if it's going to mess with your budget. You don't have to do it on his terms.
H and I have a meeting at the bank in a half hour. We're looking to renew our mortgage, and we have a rate in mind that we're really hoping for. I'm scurred! And I shouldn't be. There's no reason why they'd say no. Stuff like this just makes me nervous. Eeeeeeee!
I don't know. Lack of extra money is an issue. So would babysitting. I'm sure we could arrange something if we tried, even just watching a movie together when the kids in bed, but I feel like he doesn't want to spend time with me

Tiramisu is right. If you are not ready for any reason, reschedule. If the joint acct is closed, will you be getting money from him to help with DS?

I get nervous with those things too. Even if I know everything is fine. Good luck! Hope you get the rate you want!

We were doing so much better, working together, and making a conscious effort not to take out our stress on each other and then 2 weeks ago that went to shit.
H and I got into a pretty heated argument last night and he made fun of me for being fat (which I am) after I called him a fat ass (which he is not). He also said he is done with me and has been for a long time. We have been married 21 years. He said he doesn't want a divorce. I think I am going to work on getting my ducks in a row and getting some money together and filing for divorce.
The scary part is that is a vindicative person and I know he will try to turn my girls against me. They are already all about dad.
I am just to tired to try anymore especially when it seem to fall on deaf ears anyway. I am always in the wrong. He is just so oppressed (sarcasm). He even made fun of the fact that I read my bible and go to church-said I try to act all high and mighty.

I've never heard of an MBA that requires a thesis. Is this common?
Why is your stuff still packed away?
I hate that he takes all his problems out on you. He can do all things to make life more comfortable (unpack, schedule interviews, etc.) just as easily as you can. Ugh.

His program has a thesis project. It might be program specific.
Our stuff is still packed because we still have 2 weeks before we're "allowed" to unpack. It's 6 weeks post-first spraying.
I agree and I have brought that up. He constantly tells me and people that he has all this down time during work yet I'm the one doing the leg work on stuff because I'm a desk. A desk I am CONSTANTLY busy at.

Sorry for the downer post.
Wait, he's done with you but doesn't want a divorce? WTF?
How old are your girls? They may be all about dad, but that doesn't mean that they will abide him speaking ill of you. Don't let your fear of his response keep you from leaving if that is what you want to do.

I'm sorry that it came to this but I'm happy you now have a direction and know what you want.
Good luck on the divorce. Get a lawyer as soon as you can and stay safe.

Holy shit you guys. H's previous company never removed us from the company health plan. The only reason I found out is because I called to update coverage with our new plan and asked about coverage for marital counseling.

the bank account is something that he could do on his own, really. I am the primary account holder, but all of the money in there is his. All he needs to do is take the money out and then I can close it whenever. But he says he doesn't want to take the money out without me there. He says it would make him uncomfortable.
The phones I have to be there for. The account is in my name and he can't make any changes to the accout without me. I have the money, I just wasn't planning on doing it right now. I'm going to go in and get my phone transferred to my own account today at lunch so we'll only be dealing with his phone.
As for getting money to help with DS, I've been doing that on my own anyway. I haven't gotten any assistance from him for anything. I could take it out of the account, but I haven't.
On a side note, it occurred to me that I've been on my own for 2 months already. Has it really been that long? It seems like just yesterday I was posting about how nervous I was to leave...

Big hugs to you too karenj. That's a difficult situation, for sure! I'm glad that you have a plan. Having a plan always makes me feel better, even if there's a long time before I can make it happen. As long as I have a plan, I'm good.
