I needed this today. Thanks.

‘I don’t understand so it doesn’t exist’

Because abusive relationships force people to stay in them for reasons people who haven’t been in that situation could never understand. Seems you haven’t been, so you drag people who have. Women, specifically. Fun!

I work in HR. Im also working on getting the fuck out of HR. Not into anything techy, though. I came here from reddit just before rif died.

Why would I have someone live for free in my house who doesn’t contribute to the expense of upkeep? Ie, a freeloader. That’s what rent is. Sorry, a partner doesn’t expect their SO to pay their way for them just because they pay a mortgage payment instead of a rent payment. Add to that, now since it is a mortgage payment, any repairs and other incidentals are paid for by the owner as well. Does this person get to just break things and expect the partner to pay for it? That’s another thing rent covers. Why have a partner that is more expensive than being alone? Why have a partner at all?

I really used reddit to lurk and scroll when I was bored. If I can’t use the app I’m used to, there is no reason for me to return. Especially with the way they have been treating the community, I havent been back for about 3 weeks. I downloaded a lemmy app and put that in the same spot as rif was, and I havent looked back.
