Saturday, DS and I lounged at the coffee shop all morning because he made a toddler friend. We looked at an apartment that I will hopefully hear about today - it was very much inspired by seeing mp's new place and thinking, "now THAT is what a good single girl flat looks like."
Sunday was spent at my mother's, suffering through her well-intentioned commentary on my life choices.

Last night STBX confessed that he tried to unfriend me on FB and accidentally blocked me. He regretted it and needed help to undo it because he is not FB savvy. So people saw us refriend, I assume, and now I have no relationship status. All my worry for naught.
I also hate this stage. I called my immediate family. I emailed close friends. I'm a pastor so I get the extreme joy of telling my congregation. Yay my life.
You win! That's fucking rough. ETA: You have all my sympathy, not pity. .

I thought there was a way to block adult search results? I am in no way interested in doing so, so I have no idea how it works. But I'm pretty sure it's a thing.
I told my mom & dad - who told my sisters (before I was ready, thanks mom!)
I told a few close people, then just simply changed my FB status to Single. I didn't need people seeing either of us on dates and assuming cheating. I also didn't feel like re-telling people. So, I did it that way. No dirty laundry, no story - just a simple update.
Did people comment on your status change? That is my worst fear. I don't want to have a public discussion about it.

Talk to me about how you told people about your split. I am very much disliking this part of the process. I hate the unsolicited opinions (looking at you, mom) but not saying anything seems to lead to awkwardness as well. I don't want my kids to see me acting like this is a shameful situation, but I also don't want to announce it on FB or anything. I am just so sick of the telling and retelling.

This is my first thread I opened on my very first time visiting SO. I asked mh for a separation three days ago. You ladies have given me so much confirmation in my decision and inspiration for the future. Thank you for sharing your stories.

As a card carrying poster on TB, I am thoroughly impressed with the rational responses here.
Personally, the chances of an induction ending unfavorably would deter me. If you are leaning toward wanting to do it, I would say to get that uterus ready. Primrose oil, exercise ball, etc.

I use it, infrequently. Crime reports/speculations/accusations, moldy garage junk for sale, and a few older folks having weird conversations. Nothing too controversial, mostly just gossipy stuff.

To this day, I would probably step over my mother for a canopy bed. DD is getting ready to graduate to a big girl room and I intend to heal all my old childhood deprivation wounds by letting her pick every ridiculous girly thing her heart desires.

I love to stuff my face. At professional functions and whatnot it feels greedy to go nuts, so I have myself convinced that I have mastered the art of discreetly eating steadily all night. That may or may not actually be the case.

I'm mostly a lurker. I was inspited by someone who mentioned a reduced family plan you can get if you call AT&T. Our bill was not reduced, but we now have 10x data for the same price! Thank you!

I just broke my ninja after using it a few times a week for almost a year. I really liked it though. I think I'm going to try a nutribullet though I would get a blendtec in a heartbeat if I had the $$.

We have a problem with this too. I'm no help but I am going to try some of the suggestions here. I did tell her that saying it sometimes makes people feel bad and now she just says, "Omg. Did that make you feel bad?"
Abby knows nothing about death yet, and I just didn't have the heart to tell her the truth. Ugghh...
I couldn't tell my dd either. I just told her that "my friend" Elise wasn't sick anymore. I'm laying in bed watching thos and sobbing. She is so perfect. Big hugs to the Pixy family.
