If the internet is important to you, why is he the one making the choice to keep it or not?

It is your choice, not his.

If the internet is so important to you why wont he let you keep it? Like kimmy dawn said.. they do have the aol free 3 months,, its worth a try. I just know how important these boards are for so many of us, it helps get us through,, I would just hate to see that taken away. Hopefully you'll figure something out. After Today~

Good luck and be strong!!

(((((((Bethy)))))))))) Does he know how important it is to you? The library is a good option and some of the isp's let you be on line with them for a free period of time that maybe you could use. There are less well known isp out there that are much cheaper. I hope something works out.

Boy do I understand having to make choices like this.

some months I have to choose between getting food in the house versus paying this bill or that.

if it came down to paying for the rent and food first and internet after the rent and the food wins hands down.

having internet does me no good if I don't have a roof over my head and food to keep my body functioning.

Take care.

Bethy, if you collect SSI tell him you'll pay for the internet out of your monthly check, if your not recieving SSI go out and apply for it Monday you should qualify and besides you need your own independent money resources

Thank you everyone for your support and replies. you mean so much to me!

Some of you asked why he gets to make this dedision and not me. Well he brings home the money . I am just a housewife.And he is taking control of things now. I dont have any say in it . Just how things are now. I wish it were different.

Pleast take care everyone. I will miss you dearly !!! Please know that my heart and thoughts are with you each and everyday as you go thru your trials and triumphs. After Today~ After Today~ And when you need someone to pick on you ... After Today~, you can pretend that I am here doing that ok?

I am not a library person , but I will try my best to get there. After Today~Love you all!!!

Hugz~

Woman, you are a survivor and that means using all your energy and brains
Possible plan, you say your just a housewife okay start charging for your services
Houskeeper -
Nurse -
Laundress -
Cook -
Shopper -
Playmate -
etc
tell him the prices of these services and get the wages or have him deduct them and it should pay for internet and cell phone

I'm so glad the hubby decided to let you keep the internet! That's really great!

I think getting SSI is a great idea, too. I have it for my depression. Good luck!

But if she starts the process today she will have it in 3 years or so. If she waits another year or two or even a month, it will be three years from that time.

Congrats Bethy! I wondered if he would get into early termination fees with the phone. It's the only reason we kept the crazy phone. After Today~
