Is your husband not worried about money? I know that you mentioned that he had been hurt by past relationships but your money problems are affecting his wife and soon to be child. Will he let you look at his bank statements?
Hmmmm...you haven't come up with a contingency plan for your own pregnancy in the past ~8 months, yet your creditors should have one?
Yeah...hate to tell you this but it's really not their problem nor their responsibility to accommodate personal circumstances of any kind. Bills will still come. They don't care or even need to know that you're pregnant and going on maternity leave. They are a business, not a charity. Their purpose is to make money. They lent you money that you promised to pay back with interest, and if something happens that prevents you from doing so then they will do what they have to do to get their money back. I imagine you know all of this, and I actually can understand the sentiment of "call as many times as you want, if I don't have the money I don't have the money," but that particular comment about contingency plans just doesn't sit well with me.
Twat the hell. Exactly what does a creditor say when they contact you on an account that is current? "You are -15 days late and you need to do nothing! Expect 10 calls a day until you pay next month's minimum payment!!" Seriously!?!!
Just hitting the board for a few minutes before bed:
@shanicenicolleStill
not sure on sriracha, but now that you have spelled out Percocet…I have heard
of that.That’s where they said they
were sending me…and I spoke to a rather persistent customer service agent.
@Csltdk:Doing
nothing..hardly.I will be job hunting…pretty
sure they have computers.
@cookieinva:I don’t
really think you can plan on being terminated for one visit to the ER, then not
have a job for 3.5 months, then have one for 3 months, then not get paid come
June and expect to have money.My plan
was to work until the day I went into labor from the get go, if I had not been
terminated for the ER visit I would have qualified for FMLA with the first
position and 3 weeks paid maternity leave, and I would have been able to fend
for 3 weeks given that the next job that I took in March paid a good 3-4
dollars less and I took it because I knew I needed income and they were the
only ones offering a position when I was 5 months pregnant.
@Katieryan13:I don’t
know…some days he seems to and other days he seems to not.I have never asked about his bank statements
since our finances are separate.
@livelaughtlove88:It
isn’t that I don’t want to pay…I do because I borrowed the money.But I am asking for them to work with me so
they do get paid and they don’t want to.
@boraborababy:I am
not current for June and I called them to see what I could do so that they will
get paid eventually in a couple of months.
I've worked collections for two credit card companies and I'm calling B.S. A delinquent account isn't sent to collections till it is 30 days late no matter if you call. Collection calls canbe put on hold if you are able to give a date you can pay but you wouldn't get calls till it shows up at least 30 days past due. unless you have a history of paying every other month or missing multiple months at a time, you are then considered high risk and they call earlier.
I really have nothing to say other than: girl, you know it is okay to not share every bit of your business on a public forum, right? I mean, seriously, you can keep some stuff to yourself.

This. But I think this is a weird Munchausen's thing. Any attention, no matter how negative, is her goal. We've done a good job of giving it to her, so she just keeps coming back...every week, it's with a new, more terrible thing than the last. Exhausting.
My ex used to sit online for hours on a message board and pull the same shit this girl does. He wouldn't get mad at the snarky responses, he's laugh and bask in the attention. Everyone hated him and he loved it. After a few years of the message board being his only form of socialization, I realized we would never work because I wasn't as important as his strange obsession. Whenever I think of this girl, I image my ex sitting in his dark apartment wrapped in an old blanket wearing the glasses that magnify his already buggy eyes and the same pajamas as yesterday. Refresh, refresh, refresh, oh goody someone mentioned me!!!!

I have found a way to technically still post and you guys don't have to hear a thing or respond ever...obviously this is something you want since you guys believe this is MUD. I can edit a long ago post in some obscure thread now and it will not bring the thread to the surface. I will continue to get my feelings out and my frustrations and you will no longer be bothered. Have a good day.

What is the point of that? Why not just start a blog or use an online journal? Part of the problem with you is that you offer nothing in return for all your bitching. While you never snark back at anyone, you don't really take advice either. And you certainly never offer advice or encouragement for anyone else (though I'm not sure what advice you could give anyone...).

Ok I have completely missed this crazy train, but .... What?!
You want to "get your feelings and frustrations out" so you are randomly going to edit an old thread that won't pull up so nobody will see it? You realize you don't have to post at all on a public online forum, right? I know it's old school but there are these tools called pen and paper that you can write with, and these beings called humans that you can talk to in real life.
If any of what you are saying is actually true, you need to find a real life person to talk to to help you get your shit together. And I don't mean that to be snarky. Airing all of your dirty laundry and excuses in an online forum isn't going to help you at all. Nobody here can help you, and the attention you're getting here isn't going to help you either. You need to get off the internet, honey. This is clearly a big part of your problem.

I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. And all along I believed I would find you, time has brought your heart to me. I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you a thousand more.
@mrscurlygurl she's definitely my ex. I broke up with him and married one of his friends a year later. He didn't take it well. Now he's stalking me on thebump. I really wouldn't put it past him. He'd love this board.
In all honesty Hoshikitsune, I've tried to be supportive to you in the past, but the last 24 hours has taken a very odd turn. I still cannot decide if you are being genuine or are trolling, but regardless I don't think it's healthy.
If you are being genuine, it would probably be best to stop detailing your struggles online, even if its anonymous, it is not the behavior of a person who would be stable enough to maintain a professional job that pays well, and that seems to be a goal for you. While it may seem like its important to have a team of family and friends support you emotionally, true self reliance and personal responsibility are strengths that cannot be taken from us once developed.
I know plenty of people who have risen above and beyond the sad stories you have shared, and if being honest, you can move past your financial and emotional problems, but explaining in detail here is not a step towards that.
How can you be married and know nothing about your partner's finances? I find it bizarre. Not necessarily knowing everything but you should at least know something if you're married and procreating.
What's stopping you getting a blog? You can make it private OR public, however you want to play it.
Also, I don't like sriracha sauce. Sorry guys, it's awful.
