I 29f met this great guy 36m on bumble. Very cute, very affectionate, always texts me first, very intense and passionate type. hes kjnda everything I want and we clicked amazingly well. He keeps saying he felt like he knew me from before or something, and I see what he means.
so anyway at the end of date 1 he tells me hes still living w his ex while they figure out selling their home evenly but she travels a lot and when shes there he goes to stay w some family so they rarely see one another. He asked me out again and I wanted to go but thought the better of it. I told him I thought about it and its too messy, until his living situation changes I just cant. Then he told me hes gonna move in with family in a week. I said OK msg me when its all said & done as I want to start fresh.
A week later he reaches out and says he moved. We go on another date. He drove in and stayed at a friends place so he could drink and have a good time with me. I appreciate the effort to commute to see me. Again, its amazing. He mentioned maybe going back to mine after to have more drinks. I told him no, I want to take things slow since hes just out of a long term relationship (9 years) and Im not ready to escalate things physically. Hes talked a lot about things we can do in the future but idk if real or not. We didnt even kiss but there was some flirty touching. After he texted telling me how much he likes me. Since then he reaches out every day or two to check in. We are meant to meet again next week - even though he lives far he drives to me. I was out of town this weekend but I looked at his location and I am quite certain he was at his house he owns with the ex. I know he still has some items there. But it seems weird as he said he was working most of the weekend.
He seems to have been very honest so far but I cant help but check his location and yes, I know he has no commitment to me. Im just trying to deceipher if its worth to keep seeing him. I havent made my strong interest that clear so was thinking to text first for once and ask how his weekend was and see if he mentions he was at their place. Is this a good idea? Or should I just let him reach out as usual?

Im pretty new to modding so im sorry if the answer is obvious. Game will freeze for 2 seconds then crash when i fight bandits who use bows or magic, sometimes itll crash after i fast travel. I use vortex MM

We are relocating to DFW for work and love a house in the Home Town community in North Richland Hills. Location is equidistant to family and office however would love any insight to the area. It has been a decade since I’ve lived in Texas and it seems NRH is very different now than it was 10 years ago. Thanks!

Hey all, just wanted some opinions. Home depot has an 18gallon dehumidifier for rent $64 per day or $256 per week. Should I (1) get the 18 gallon for the week or (2) get the 18 gallon for a few days but buy a 50 pint (6gal) dehumidifier for $250 to keep running always. The area under the stairs had a leak from the HVAC drain getting clogged. I'm estimating it was leaking for at least a couple days, which I used a wetvac to get up what I could. I need to dry out the studs with fans and dehumidifier. No drywall but there are some wood wall panels. I understand i need the industrial one, but wondering if a few days would get the majority out, and I can also own one to run for weeks to get the residual moisture. I usually like owning things, especially if I might need them moving forward. This pricing has me wondering if I should buy one too.

Debit/Credit Cards Accepted No Closing Costs Cash Price: $1,950 Finance with $200 Down and 18 Payments of $125 Per Month No Credit Check, No Income Documentation, No Prepayment Penalty 

Hi, I know this is a stupid question, please don't judge me, but I have to make a 3 hour drive tomorrow without parents finding out or they will get angry at me, which I can't deal with. I was considering downloading life360 on my MacBook and leaving it behind, and turning my Iphone life360 off during the car ride. Would doing this make my location stay set to home?

Picked up my R1T a couple weeks ago and have been charging at home the whole time. Went to an EVGo charger and couldn’t figure out how to get the thing unlocked to take it out of the machine and plug it into the car. Do I need to swipe my credit card? How would it work at a ChargePoint location if the thing is locked? What about a Tesla super charger? I’m assuming if it’s not locked then I can just plug it in and things will “just work”.

Hi. I’m posting here mainly because I cannot differentiate between what is salvageable and what is not. I’ve, 27 y/o f been with my husband 31 y/o m for 10 years.
We met on tumblr. I felt like it was a romantic love story about how he messaged me and it took off from there. I was 16 and leaving a highly traumatic household where I was the caretaker, oldest child and forced to be strong. I’m used to being strong and often don’t know my limits. This could be because of how young and traumatized I was/am, my too trusting nature, or my neurodivergencies. I really struggle to recognize when I am being abused. I didn’t realize that us meeting on tumblr was a regular occurrence for him. I was led to believe that it was our love story.
6 months in: His sexting starts. He creates fake profiles of other men online to sext women. He shares nudes, tells them how they make him feel good and all of things I would love to hear. — I don’t know yet.
We move in together and around the 3rd year, I find the messages from 6 months all the way up until the 3rd year. He bounced around on apps like tinder and grinder. He never made sense of it for me, wouldn’t let me talk about it and was generally very dismissive. But, we stayed together.
Year 5: I catch him again. He’s doing it, but this time he is on all apps. Local and on Kik messaging other men and women. He has accounts of fake men and women. Sexting. Sharing pictures. Talking to each other. Covid happens though, and so we stayed together but that’s when he started with the Venmo payments. A few at 25, 50, 60 dollars. But then, a charge that is $120 at 1am that he can’t seem to explain. He says it’s for a few photos and videos, but isn’t that too much? He was laid off during this time, and spending money that we needed for a move. It was incredibly hurtful.
He always took his phone away so fast that I could never actually screenshot or get closure on his messages. He never came to me and told me that this was a struggle, but now he says that he can’t stop scratching his leg or pacing until he gets it.
At the same time though, I was begging for intimacy. He was having sex with me about once a month- no foreplay as he did not believe in it. He said it had to be quick and a few times he literally did say easy. Our sex with uninspiring, quick, and lacking. He always said he would do more though, and that if I didn’t ask for so much, then he wouldn’t be so driven to apps. He never liked any new positions, me asking for sex and even prepared himself by talking to other women while on vacation to fuel him for sex with me.
2 months later, he cuts off from all apps and proposes to me a day later. But, then he starts back on apps after a few days. He said that he felt like he did a good thing. It made it seem like it was an exchange but he clarified that that was not the case.
He continues with apps, expanding into Grindr, Google Voice, Hinge, every dating app out there just to sext and exchange photos to get that high. He is online too- sexting as someone else and sometimes having phone calls as himself. I didn’t know until 2 weeks ago. Now, he is banned from nearly every dating app in existence using his phone number because of his behavior online. He even took it offline to email etc to avoid getting removed from some apps.
Flash forward to 2022- we get married. I still don’t know everything. But he has upped things and violated a boundary that I drew in the sand. He gets an Only Fans and follows a woman in our area from Hinge. He starts paying her through some Girlfriend Experience which I really don’t understand. He said it was minor chats but there are charges of $68, $48, $28 randomly. Some are one right after the other. He continues this, adding new women. He does this one day before our wedding and again three days after. I am in shock about this part. I cannot believe or fathom it. He said he needed it because he was so insecure. But why didn’t he turn to me? I could have shown him the way that I saw him. Instead he turned to online again.
He says that the profile wasn’t in his name on OF. Or for most of these platforms, but he’s using his card, a few of his photos (it looks like but I can’t tell based on his email) and his phone number. I’m worried I know someone he has talked to. Maybe the reality is that that’s already happened.
Anyways, we go on a trip. I have a panic attack because his phone goes off. He reassures me that it’s email. Then, he goes to the bathroom for 50 minutes. I continue my panic attack, but calm myself into trusting him. He comes out and says he doesn’t have the energy. I’m in lingerie - then I started crying. He reassures me, as I’m crying saying that he knows our worth and would not risk it. He made me feel good. Ok. Safe.
My health declines. I start throwing up every day 4-5 times. I couldn’t help it. I left the country early 2023, thinking that I could trust him. He continued with OF AND apps. I didn’t check his location. I didn’t check our home cameras. He could have done anything while I was gone. I have no idea.
He blocks and deletes numbers. Has over hundreds of blocked numbers. Local too. I called one of them and he said “come downstairs, come downstairs, come down”. He has no explanation for this.
Then, I come back and we watch Larsa on RHoM who is an Only Fans influencer. I said that that would be a dealbreaker for me, he stopped shortly after I came home from that trip. All in all, he spent another $500 while I was unemployed, sick and trying to find myself. We agreed that $150 was the limit that we notified each other at. But no. Not for him.
I caught him again with apps a few weeks ago. There were some funny text messages. He stopped introducing me to his coworkers and I was no longer invited to meet with his friends, but he also stopped meeting with them as much.
I saw everything this time. All of the messages from way back until now and it seems like he never stopped. It feels like he didn’t protect me. I could have been there for him, to support. I was so open and kind and caring. I was gentle with him because I wanted to show him what he deserved. It seems like it just made me easier to take advantage of. He never came to me with honesty or shared when I asked about how he was doing with keeping away from apps etc. he kept it deep, bottled and hidden. These are messages that he would send while we were on the couch together, he would go to the bathroom, be working in the same room, everything. I was there and he did it anyways. I don’t understand how I will be able to tell a difference between when he is doing it and not.
In addition to this- he blame shifts a lot and has plenty of covert narcissistic tendencies. He gives and takes so quickly. He doesn’t let me walk away from arguments often, and will keep us there without food. I would often, after 1 hr in and no break start yelling because he would blame shift and explain my feelings to me like they had to be logical. If my feelings were logical, then he would create bigger feelings within himself. So I would pivot to his feelings.
I’m really confused and wondering if this is something that I can work through or if I am truly delusional? I met him when I was so young, I feel groomed. I feel taken advantage of and used for him to get out of his prior household, have someone there to just be there, and still have his messaging on the side.
We dreamed up a life together that I held so tight onto but he made promises he did not intend to keep. It seems like this is a sexting addiction that he never came clean on.
I’m also worried about the impact that this will have on me mentally. I already have anxious tendencies and I’m really scared that this has shattered me for future relationships. I don’t know how I could ever trust again what someone is doing with their personal device. What if I become someone who stalks their partner? I don’t want to be that person. Do I get a choice? Has he doomed me?
My husband is Latino and grew up in a traumatic household, with abuse from his mother. He didn’t have a father figure and only ever saw men treating women poorly in his life. I’ve given a lot of grace for this reason, and thought that I could somehow show him how to love me. Like we could create our own love story different from our traumatic past.
I grew up with a narcissist father (who was physically and mentally abusive) and a mother who cannot let her child feel her feelings. Both incredibly unavailable, and as I grew to become more upset with them both- they distracted me. My husband knew that. He weaponized that and bought me gifts, experiences and a marriage it seems to continue his charade.
I really need to feel empowered at this point in my life and it feels like he just pushes me down.
Note: please don’t use the word “need” or “must” in your replies. This triggers my cPTSD. I’m open to being pressed on this, I don’t fully understand why I have this reaction.

Hello! My husband and I will be visiting Maine soon for 5 nights. We are flying into Bangor and going to Acadia/Bar Harbor for 3 nights. We are then driving down the coast to stay in Kennebunkport for 2 nights. We plan to also spend time in Portland the day we fly home.
I am seeing a lot of posts about Kennebunkport being a tourist trap with not much to do. I know the first part of our trip will be active, so we want something quaint/ charming for the last part of our trip.
We also plan to stop in Camden and the LLBean outlet.
Is there a town that would be a better option? Thanks!

Does this recip. saw go on sale at places like home depot? If so when? Thank you!

I’ve had laminate installed in my upstairs hall and now need to figure out the bull nose and later the actual steps. The installer put the laminate to about 4 inches from the current edging.
My thinking is put in red oak bull nose I found at Home Depot and get them both flush against each other but then there’s the issue of the laminate not being held down at all at these ends.
And also I assume I couldn’t get a perfectly straight cuts so prob a gap between the two too - maybe wood filler? Not sure

I'm a lateral hire for a senior position in A&A in Big4.
Late last year, I applied to my home location but did not proceed past the interview stage. Then, the HR referred me to another location and I assumed it was a similar offering as I was not provided with an updated job ad/ description. The interview went well and I accepted the offer and relocated for this role.
A month ago, I saw the job ad for my current location and it's quite different. I probably wouldn't have applied to this current location if I saw the job ad. I'm not getting the exposure and variety offered in the job ad I applied to, and my current engagement is an ongoing long-term engagement. I feel like I'm being tricked into this engagement as they have been having a high turnover. I didn't bring this up earlier as I was still trying to understand my role and the engagement, and was also learning. There is not much growth in this engagement and I did not join Big4 for this reason. I would have gone into industry for a role like this. I want to be realigned back to what I originally applied to and have the opportunity to work on different engagements to set myself up as a strong candidate when I do exit Big4.
Need advice on getting out of this arrangement.

Recently my friend and I just went on a bike trip on a bike path
I’ve hit up a friend that I haven’t seen for a while and asked if they wanted to go bike riding on a bike path. This is not our first time biking and would say both good with cycling They said yes and I picked them up and went to my place since the bikes were there. I’ve lent my red bike to them since they didn’t have one and it was ok since we are the same height. The bike that I’ve lent them is a bit big for us but not where it’s not rideable to too tall where the rider can’t stop without falling. I have asked them if they would want to use my blue bike which is shorter and they said no since the blue bike seat wasn’t squishy as my red bike.
I said ok and told them that I would try to fix the seat once we hit the trail since the trail had a service station where I could possibly try my best to lower the seat for them.
We get to where the service station and discovered that the lowest the seat could go was just an inch short lower than it was before but was not short enough for their preference. I told them that what we could do to make it shorter is by getting a hacksaw from home depot that was thankfully less than a mile away.
Our route to home depot we had to cross a road and there was a sharp angle cut on the side walk so I had to make a detour somewhere else so we wouldn’t crash. Because of that detour my friend yells at me and I explained to them and continued to Home Depot. My friend seemed upset so we stopped at a local library on the way and asked them to wait for me there since Home Depot was two minutes away and there was a big street that we needed to cross.
I come back with the tools and was just across where I could see them. I see them get off of my red bike and let it fall. I get upset but calmly ask what happened to the red bike and they said that it fell on its own. I ignore what happened and said that we’re going back to the bike station to lower the red bike’s seat. We later switched bikes after convincing them that it would fit their preferred height.
We start biking back to the route and I almost crash to a ledge sidewalk because I through it was flat and had to stop the bike abruptly. We did not crash thankfully but that’s when they started yelling at me that they had enough. We walked back half way to the station and while the walk they continued to yell at me on how I was a bad leader and friend for lending them the bike and how they would never bike with me ever again. I’ve already apologized for the sudden break and explained why and apologized again..
We get back to the bike station where I’ve cut the bike stem shorter and made it to the lowest setting and asked them to test it out and they said it was too short, I raised the seat higher and they said it was short and needed to be abit heigher. I said no for “safety reasons” but really because it would have been set to the original height in the beginning.

Sorry for not getting a list done last week. I was under the weather (literally and figuratively.) Happy to be back to normal this week.
As always, feel free to add events I may have missed in the comments (with links.) Feedback about events you've attended or plan to attend is always helpful and welcome.
