I'm the same way and in the same boat! When you have to cover for someone else's mistakes for so long, you kind of feel you have a right to dictate how they spend their money! If they mess it up, who do they want to make it all better?
My wife & I have been together for over 22 years...and we keep our money separate.
Coincidence? Discuss lol
My husband and I have been together 17 years and we share everything. Bank accounts, rrsp's, both on the mortgage when we had one, etc. etc. etc. That being said, we are both very good with money. I can see how it would be a problem if one was good with money and one was not. We also discuss any purchase over $50...even if the discussion consists of, "Hey, I am buying a pair of jeans and a new bra and it is going to be $120. Just wanted to let you know." I have never understood people who lie to their spouses about money.0 -

Just to be clear, that was me buying myself a new bra, not my husband.0 -

Rabbit - Wrath
Kanga & Roo - Lust
Owl - Greed

OK, I can see some of these, but not Kanga & Roo! How can they represent lust? Also, don't ruin my childhood.
Edit because punctuation.
Lust because well, Who's the Daddy?
And I'm sorry about ruining your childhood. Michael Bay ruined the Transformers, Jaden Smith ruined The Karate Kid. .. . these things happen.
Michael Bay also ruined Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Just sayin...
Don't get me wrong the movie was ok and it was still TMNT...but the turtles were more like mini hulks than ninjas and shredder was more like a mini transformer than a ninja warrior.
Would have liked to have seen more Jackie chan style fighting action and less eating bullets/ramming hummers with their shells. Also, Donatello has never worn glasses, why was it necessary to make him wear so much annoying gear?
Doesn't matter, Donatello is dead now

I have only been married for a year, but my parents will celebrate their 50th anniversary in December, and everything is combined. They are retired farmers, so even their business was one and the same when they were working. I could not imagine keeping finances separate. I'm planning to retire before age 60, and I intend to make sure my husband and I have saved enough to do it together. We also have improvements to make to the house, together. To each his own, but separate finances wouldn't work for me.0 -

My husband and I (married 10 years) recently separated our money and I have to say, it's much better this way. He liked to think of me as the spendthrift and would tend to blame the empty checking account and overdraft fees on me. Well, since he's still racking up the ODs and running out of money, I couldn't be happier. LOL0 -

I feel like I'm so honest about our relationship and I gush about her all of the time, all of my friends and family know but she keeps me hidden because of the fact I'm female. None of her work friends know and she hasn't even told her so called best friend even though she's said she would and we've had countless arguments about it. The only people who know in her life are her 'lesbian friends' that are already out. It's starting to get to me now and I'm beginning to feel like she's ashamed of me. I just want to have a normal relationship...
This is a tough one. A year and a half is a long time to be stressed over hiding a relationship but I really do not feel as though she is ashamed of you but she is not ready for herself to be public yet. I feel for your frustration though. My best friend didn't tell me for years although I already knew and I smiled like I didn't know that she and her other 'best friend' did all these amazing things together were actually a couple. I just waited until she was ready. She was in her 30's when she finally told me and almost 40 when she told her mom. Hang in there...
Yes, this is good advice. I'm sorry you are dealing with this, noaddedsugarx, but I'd try to let her know how important this is to you without turning it into an argument and give it a little more time. I hope this all works out for you both soon.
Thanks to the both of you. The thing is apart from this issue we have an amazing relationship. We do talk about marriage and stuff. She's the first woman I've ever been with and it was hard for me to come out too. I know it's different for everyone but now I feel like I want everyone to know and I wish it was the same way for her too. It's hard too when I see tons of people at my age in happy relationships, a ton of people I know have got engaged. She tells me things about her friends and their partners even if it's that they are having problems or whatever and it just makes me feel like I'm so insignificant in her life that I don't even come up in her conversations.. I dunno I suppose I will just have to hang in there.
No additional advice, but good luck. Hopefully being around your friends and family helps your to feel more comfortable in her own skin.
Thankyou!

Confession: I could NOT stop laughing. He's in speech therapy, and I'm very proud of him for even attempting to say Star Wars, and I KNOW we're not supposed to laugh at any of his attempts, so I had to leave him alone with my husband briefly while I went into a corner and laughed hysterically.
I am not judging you. I would have done the exact same thing!

Doesn't matter, Donatello is dead now true story.
I recognize only the 1987 cartoon series and early 1990's movies as legitimate canon for TMNT so this is false.
The rights to TMNT have changed too much probably. Between several versions of the comics, revisions of the cartoon, Nickelodeon, etc. there's way too much inconsistency.
One version of the comics had Leo losing a hand, Raph becoming the shredder and all kinds of craziness.
So I stick to the original cartoon for my basis of how the turtles should actually be. Sure, the comic came first but the comic had a totally different dynamic (not geared to kids at all) and the cartoon was what made them a big deal and what most fans recognize the most except maybe the original movies.0 -
Because I can laugh about this now here’s a two for one confession. When I was in the Navy, we stopped in St. Thomas Vi. for a port of call, while at a club some ladies ask me to dance for a girlfriend of theirs that was celebrating her 40 birthday, the reason they asked me was that she had a thing for Sly Stone and Italian men in general.
So with a little persuasion and a little rum I finally agreed. It took me a little to loosen up and enjoy it but I finally did get into it. I actually made some good tips from other ladies and actually a couple of guys that were at the club.
A few years later, an old girl friend of mine from H.S. found out about this and asked me to dance at another mutual girlfriend’s bachelorette party. Again, it took some coercion but I finally agreed to it. The party was at a bar and there were other people there. Everything went well, no issues to report. Afterwards, I hung out (no pun intended) with a few other friends and ended up hooking up with a very nice woman in her mid-forties. I thought that I would never see her again not that I didn’t want to, it was just one of those things.
Here comes the pie in the face. So about a year later, a girl that I had been dating for a while and which we were getting serious, decided to take me to meet her mother (yeah I see the lights going off in your minds, you know what happens next). It was the most awkward moment of my life and I could not wait to get out of there, I was sweating and my stomach was a wreck. Neither her mother nor I could look each other in the eyes.
She and I continued to date but I was in pure hell not telling her but her mother begged me not to and honestly, I really didn’t want to either but it was pure hell withholding that from her.
We eventually did not work out and went our separate ways and I have no clue to this day if her mother ever told her the truth or not.
That sounds like something that would happen on a sitcom. Great story!0 -

I think that the Karate Kid was a good remake. The first Transformers movie was the best. The rest of them not so much.0 -
Okay, I chalk this up to my OCD, lol. Whenever I scoop something out of a jar with a spoon (i.e. peanut butter), I weigh the spoon first. Then I weigh it again after I'm done dishing out a serving. That way I can lick the spoon and track what I ate off the spoon as well.
I love it. GENIUS! It's so nice to know I'm not the only weirdo.0 -
So, last year I had to have an emergency hysterectomy, putting me in *very* early menopause (I am 36), and I often miss shark week, because it gave me an excuse to eat the crazy things I love!0

We don't do it to "hide purchases." Kinda hard to lie about a new guitar, or a new wardrobe.
We did it because initially we were a couple of 22 year old kids that were always broke, so we split all joint expenses down the middle. If one of us had to cover the other, then he or she was "on the fridge" (a dry erase board on the fridge) until we paid the other back.
As the years went on, we continued splitting all joint expenses down the middle (including a joint savings account that we each make an equal monthly contribution to.) Monthly bills, vacations, cars, etc. We treat each other often to dinners, date nights, gifts, etc.
And we haven't fought about money in 20 years.

I fall off the wagon every three days, periodically, while I train and support people fightingfor weight loss. I love seeing them happy for their results, but it kills me I cannot get the same thing, I just keep falling.
And I have an eating disorder I can't tell anyone about.0 -

Married 17 years, finances are shared for the most part. However, about ten-ish years ago we both established "mad money" accounts. Direct deposit from our paycheck, $25, and if we want to buy something spendy and frivolous, we just use our own mad money. This has saved many, many fights. I am so glad we came up with this solution.0 -

Try fitting the bread into your daily calorie goals.
New to myfitness pal and i have spent the weekend with family and have fallen way off track. I am hispanic and one of my favorite breads is a sweet bread and I ate the whole thing. I am even having a hard time getting back to the gym....
There's a little bakery by the park I go to that makes the best pan dulce. I'm picking up one of these babies next time I go because I've really been craving it.
As for logging, I look for something similar in the database with with ounces or grams (powdered sugar cookies or donuts in this case) and log it as that.
I can't decide whether the top items look more phallic or like dead frogs.0
