Thank you for the info. If it ends, I want it to be peaceful but I refuse to be taken advantage of. I didn’t choose or want to be a stay at home mom. I always wanted to go back to work but he wouldn’t let me

Well you sound like you won't be taken advantage of so again I am here for you and behind whatever decision you make. If you have questions if I can help I am here.

Thank you so much! It’s on him though. I’m willing to work it out but if he goes through and signs the papers I’ll be getting help with what I have to do immediately. I already researched all the laws here and I know the child support and alimony would leave him without a dime, but he doesn’t know that. And he threatened to kick me out on the street but he can’t legally do that either.

Not going to be enough coffee for me today. Only had 2 hours of sleep. Have to go to post office and then my endocrinologist. Not looking forward to that. I hate all doctors.
Sorry you only had a couple hours of sleep last night. Hope you can get some extra rest in sometime throughout the day! I hate all doctors too but I hope everything goes well for you!

Good night. Hope everyone can sleep.

Good morning! Sorry I didn't make it in yesterday... I had no internet :( We're in the process of upgrading our internet along with the Dish. Well, lovely Centurylink upgraded the service before the new modem got here.

New modem finally got here late in the day yesterday, I spent most of the evening switching wires, re-wiring, and getting the router all set up. Got it all up and working now, but there is still something wrong. The service coming into the house is supposed to be up to 40Mbs Down and 2 Up.... I'm only getting 24/1.01. So a tech is coming today to work on everything outside. Fingers crossed they get it all working properly today.

On the Dish side... it has a few quirks. Like my Netflix on the Joey keeps freezing up and I have to reboot the box to fix it. When I talked to Dish they said it's a known issue that they have a ticket already open for.

I hope everything gets figured out for you! All those issues are a pain in the ass! I had Verizon come to my house to set up internet and cable. Cable worked. Went to use the internet and nothing... called the tech and they couldn’t come back until 3 weeks later. Well I’m a tech nerd so I messed around with the wires and program myself and got it working on my own. Then, I called the tech to not bother coming and they still billed us for the day he was supposed to come even though I called 2 weeks before his estimated arrival.

With Verizon when they hooked up the FIOS at first it was AMAZINGLY Fast then dropped to less than the DSL Speeds. I had to fight with them for 3 weeks until I had it ESCALATED to a 3rd Tier Network Engineer. 3 times they changed the ONT outside. After 15 minutes of testing with him he tells me it is the GPon card in the Central Office and I started freaking again because supposedly it was changed overnight (2 X's) because they can't disrupt the Service during the day. He says no they are doing it while we are on the phone. Back up to warp speeds again and had my neighbors asking me what the problem was because of all the Vz Trucks and they noticed their Internet is much faster~! I had to throw one tech off the property because he could not even run a speed test on his Laptop~!

Yeah I got off my contract with Verizon and refuse to use any of their services! They hire in knowledgeable techs

Too bad you have to live all the way in NJ or I'd gladly share my coffee.
It’s ok! I didn’t sleep all night and at 4am I decided I’d just drink my coffee (I make it homemade) and I saw someone drank my whole pitcher worth so I just brewed more. Waited til it was done, stuck it in the fridge, went back to bed. Got up again at 530 and it was ready. So no biggie. Just annoys me when I go for it and it’s gone and no one makes it when they finish it

Good morning!

So far so good on the new internet, holding steady around 30 down and 2 up :)

Try this Speed Test, I have found using providers tests gives favorable results for them~!

https://www.speedtest.net/
That's the one I normally use ;) I've tested it on both and numbers are pretty much the same.

So, husband and I are going to be starting marriage counseling where they start with counseling us separate, then after a month or two they counsel you two together when they feel you’re ready. He’s still not wearing his wedding band, but I’m wearing mine. I feel like I should still prepare for the worst...

Thoughts? Advice? Suggestions?

I’m not ready for this nor want this...
Edit: the divorce that is
