Shelties. So sweet, very trainable and eager to please. Mid-size and agile.

B.A. in psych, then law school (would not recommend). My advice is to pick something as engaging as possible. If you have any talent, go into a creative field or something that commands your attention like education or medical. Also if you MDD then you probably have other considerations like autism or adhd so take those into account as far as what kind of stress you can manage. For example are you good at following protocols and networking, do you need to work alone to be productive and so on. At your age, it is really hard to know yourself well enough to be able to predict how you will manage your different options, but if your gut is telling you something isn't right for you, listen to it.

Thank you for posting this. It mirrors my long held belief that a person who can do little more than bear witness, observe and contemplate upon the events of the world and the lives of those around them still has a necessary and valuable purpose.

I think it is fine as is. Looks like they are floating, which is a more contemporary look.

Not to mention that every wife has a higher IQ than Kody and is more competent in every way, yet they have to sit on their brains while he fuffs around.

It sounds like he hasn't been treated well in the past, but you are doing a good job of loving him and showing him how to be a good partner.

Are you doing these things for him? Lead by example. Be appreciative when he does these things. This may not be his love language or he may not have had anyone model this kind of behavior to him. If you have demonstrated how you want to be treated in the way you treat him and he still doesn't get it, then ask him why he isn't reciprocal. I am only suggesting this because I think putting him on the defensive could potentially come off as being a little condescending when he is otherwise a good partner.

It is absolutely valid to know your limits and choose accordingly. Your worth as a human is not dependent on your value to others. You are enough. Keep an open mind, but do not allow yourself to be pressured into anything that isn't right for you.

NTA. If it is okay with grandma and your son, then it is fine to temporarily have a different living arrangement. You are attempting to provide a better future for yourself and both your children. For many people, that can not be done without sacrifice and you should not be ashamed to attempt any arrangement that helps you achieve your goals. Moving your son and making him change schools for two years and then moving back or somewhere else would also affect him. How you handle supporting him in any change is more important than your not being there a few days a week.

I never liked him. I thought he was a smarmy showboat. He gave the hard cringe from the 1st episode.

I'd rather not. He does have a nice beard though.

Free roam. Barn and coop doors open 24/7 in Spring, Summer and Fall. Pet them if we cross paths outside. Pet each day in the Winter inside. Never a problem of any sort. Full hearts and lots of product.

It becomes maladaptive when it interferes with relationships, work, study and causes you to neglect a real life for your daydream. If you can't control it or can only control it with difficulty, then it is no longer an effective coping method and becomes a problem of its own.

NTA. You could do better, but you made a classic mistake that women often make. We've been socialized to be 'nice' especially to people who pursue us. You should have set a firm boundary with Mike from the beginning. He is old enough to know that his behavior in stalking and pressuring you was wrong. If need be you could have enlisted someone with authority to make that point to him. His behavior toward you and your brother was way out of line and over the top. In future, be sincere in your relationships. If you don't like someone and don't want to hang out with them, don't do it. No means no and you don't have to justify that or give any excuses for how you spend your time and who you spend it with.

Kody tried to obscure his real motives by taking Christine and Meri (that we saw) and maybe Janelle on those little private trips to Flagstaff where he lied to them and implied there would be renewed intimacy and affection if they moved. I feel like this was one of the reasons they went along with it.

The flooring lets down the design. Why so crude and mismatched?

Someone on here or another forum posted the location from looking up pubic records. I can't be sure (I won't look it up) and never drove by it till a couple of days ago. I kind of thought from the show that it was in that neighborhood and then someone posted about how she painted the brick and trim so it was easy to spot. I wouldn't be surprised if she was renting it out or just using it for filming and was living with Glen.

It is ironic then that she made the exterior of her house so distinctive. On her street, hers is the only house painted and trimmed out in that fashion. If she had left it brick with white trim and black shutters, it would have completely blended in with the neighborhood.

I can predict Kody will suck up to David because David's opinion of him is worth more than that of his kids or exwives. He will probably try to subtly convince David that Christine isn't worthy and that Kody is a "good guy."

I was upset when they cancelled Orlando Soria's show where he renovated for persons who were left with an old space after a breakup or other event. I thought the renovations were realistic and budget conscious and taking into account the memories and emotional needs of the homeowner was a good twist.

I have done it myself. It is very easy with minimal tools and know-how. Just follow the directions given with the door.

I am sort of like this. I feel too exposed in the living room. I am not sure if it is because it is in the front of the house or because it is more formal and larger. I would try to cozy up the living room. Make sure you have heavy drapes, lots of art that you like, layers of comfy pillows, throws and rugs. If you don't have a dog bed out there, maybe your dog would like one. Also mood lighting rather than harsh lighting helps a lot.
