Ok so my bf (43) and I (38F) have been going through a phase of fighting all day every day since the day before Valentine’s Day 2026, the day he moved out of my apartment since he moved in April 2025. He never officially moved back into my apartment but after about 2/3 weeks of being distant yet still cordial and romantically involved with one another, it was back to normal other than being able to get a little space when he slept at his grandparents (where he moved).

Lately things have gotten worse, I lost my apartment April 1st. Held a lot of resentment but have come to terms with it all and it’s my own fault. From April through February, he gave me $200 per month for rent. My apartment was $1000 per month. The only thing he payed other than that $200 was the toll bill he was the majority user of. To get to work he passed through the $6 once there and once back, I typically went through probably 2 times a week while he did this 5x per week. So I figured since I pay electric, internet, $800 for rent and food as well as everything household he could pay the tolls. Oh was I wrong.

Anyways I went on a work trip it was a 45 day training retreat and we agreed he would find us a place by the time I was back.

He did not actually do anything about it.

So today I’m just beat down
Homeless, my car broke down and work has been stressful but this conversation has just made it all come to a point where I give up

Hello everyone, I need your help with a project.

I'm trying to reflect the uniqueness of perception through this photo, and to do that, I need each of you to write in the comments what you perceive/feel when looking at it. It could be an emotion, a single word, an atmosphere, a piece of music, etc. It can be anything that comes to mind, and it doesn't have to be related to the project (for example, if seeing this photo made you feel hungry, even if it has nothing to do with the photo itself, it's still very interesting for the project). Any help is welcome.

Thank you in advance to everyone who writes what they perceived when looking at this photo! Have a good day!

So here's the situation:
My car has entered the permanent check engine light era and I desperately need to do maintenance before she starts making decisions for me.

Catch is: I'm broke, overwhelmed, and just doing my best and trying to handle it all myself.

Priority #1 is replacing my brake pads, because apparently stopping is important. I also need to tackle other things like my serpentine belt, an oil change, an oil leak, new tires and replacing a mechanical part on the back hatch. BUT safety first.

My car is old. Yes, she has a name. Every new sound becomes an investigation. She's sitting at almost 280k miles, and every single one of those is mine. I know my car like its an extension of my own body at this point. I refuse to just let her die, we will ride into mechanical Valhalla together.

If anyone wants to help out with parts/tools/advice/donations, I'll personally reward support with access to what will almost certainly be chaotic livestream of me attempting this maintenance in real time.
Think:
-dropped sockets
-dirty greasy hands
-YouTube tutorials paused every 12 seconds
-me confidently saying "I don't think this is right"
-character development

If you've ever wanted to watch someone fight for their mechanical survival armed with optimism, redbull, and poor upper body strength, this is your chance. There will likely be crying. Definitely cussing, and probably more than one time I stare silently at my car like she betrayed me.

I'm cute enough for this to be entertaining, but not confident enough for it to accidentally become sexy content. This is more confused raccoon with a socket wrench territory.

Comment or message me if you want to help support the project, or throw advice my way.

So, my 12-year-old sister started her own demon slayer youtube channel. She is so keen on her work and is trying very hard. She appreciates every new comment and subscriber. Please, show her some love. It will make her day better.
