What can people tell me about DBT? It is six sessions, and I am very curious. T thinks it would be good for me to go.

H is mad at me for not believing the insurance agent. Why can't I trust her he says. Because we could lose our home if she is wrong and he causes an accident. He says i have trust issues. **** him. I ask how he can be so cavalier about the possible risk. Why can't i ever just be happy. Damn.

Hey, now. Being worried because you might lose your house is not bad. I fact, he should be worried, too. Agents are wrong sometimes. What if he DID crash and you lost your house? That would not be on you. It has nothing to do with having trust issues! Men. Sometimes they don't understand. (But I guess they say that about women, so...)

I'm supposed to be enjoying a celebration dinner for my son's achievement and i sit here worrying about insurance instead. I'll talk to them on monday. H already started the new policy but it doesn't take effect til 5/13 so our current insurance with son on it is still active. I am talking myself down in the bathroom. Go me.

You'll only get a taste of it in six sessions but yes it's definitely worth a try. Basically it is a lot of tools to help you manage life and your emotions better.

What have you got to lose? A few hours of your time maybe?

That's good. Just enjoy the dinner, and think about it later. Not easy to do, but necessary. I hope you can work it all out soon.
On that note, I am really tired right now. I have really worn myself out. By doing nothing. I will understand how I can get so tired and not work physically. Oh well. Night, couch.

Too bad. How long does it take to fully complete group therapy with DBT? Or is there not a set time?

I have a bridge i'd like to sell your husband. Also can i get in on his card game? I'll split the money with you.

This would be the last straw for me. Does he have a brain tumor? Dump the dope.

atisketatasket · May 06, 2016, 09:00 PM

Art - while your husband is overreacting to your concerns and should be more sympathetic, I think you are borrowing trouble. There is simply no way an insurance company would say that a teen driver doesn't need to be covered; besides the fact that all but one state requires car insurance, it would take money from the insurance company's pocket and be illegal. They might even be liable if there were an accident.

There is simply some misunderstanding with the agent here. You will call on Monday and get the full story. And I have to say your son, from the way you describe him here, is very unlikely to cause an accident so serious that you would lose your house.

unaluna · May 06, 2016, 09:06 PM

Plus i will slap the agent for you.

As soon as I read that I got a powerful mental image of you doing the slapping with your ginormous bloomers.

What is wrong with me?

The policy was in my name. I'm not entirely sure how it worked, as he took care of it. Then again, my ex is not exactly the most stringently law abiding citizen out there...
Try not to worry about it. You can sort everything on Monday

A shite move on your H's part not consulting you on this before he moved forward with it...

StressedMess · May 06, 2016, 09:16 PM

I have Allstate and when my oldest gets her license my premium will double, even though we only have one car and it's mine. Id like to get in on this deal if it's applicable here.

No, I know that that's not an approved topic of discussion and I'm not asking for suggestions or intending to say anything more about it. I know I'll end up doing nothing as always. Because I am a coward, too.

I don't think you deserve punishment.

...but...

I sentence you to
1. think better of yourself,
2. take care of yourself and
3. buy yourself a treat.

(we don't have Allstate). So my h called Allstate today. And he asked. And they said that we don't have to add our son to the policy because he lives at home and does not own any of the cars. That our policy will follow the cars.

I cannot FATHOM this. because their web site even says that you must insure a teen driver as soon as they get their license. We can save a TON of money if the agent is correct, but I think she is completely wrong and if we do this, and change, and don't add him, and he heaven forbid causes a bad accident, we could lose our home. I cannot wrap my mind around this. Hubby is ready to change immediately but I can't do it. I can't. Does anyone know anything about this?? thanks.

I agree with you. It sounds wrong. Teenage boys are a big risk and insurance companies don't give that kind of money away.

Just went down to get the clothes out of the laundry and I passed a guy (who was clearly NOT a teen) wearing a knee-length t-shirt. I was very tempted to compliment him on his dress...

On Dennis the Menace last week, Dennis and his friends were gathering in mr wilsons backyard late at night to help mr wilson catch bigfoot. So little seymour showed up in his nightshirt. He looked so CUUUUUUUTE!!! the other boys complained about it, and he offered to take it off, they were like NOOOOO!!! I love little seymour

Art - maybe this link will help. I did not know this about car insurance.

Your car insurance is primary if you are the owner of the car, even if someone not named on your policy drives it and gets in an accident. I.e., your insurance pays if it's the car they insure.

I would still want your son named on the policy - not just for peace of mind, but also when he applies for car insurance of his own, it will help him get it if he has been covered previously and can prove that. And there are benefits to sticking with one insurance company for a certain period of time, like accident forgiveness - does your current insurance have such a policy?

Maybe your husband and you need to talk this through a bit more.

I had a student show up to class once wrapped in a comforter. He had been too busy to do laundry, he told me, and that included his underg's.

In the comments, there are people who say it just follows the car and others who say no you have to add.

unaluna · May 06, 2016, 09:52 PM

Thats the link i gave her!

It also says you dam well better declare any teenage drivers living in the house. If they go to school 100 miles away, you get a break. You might also get a break for good grades, older age, etc. r

Why do singers think the audience wants to hear their opinion or life story or how they wrote the song? I get they may need a drink or a rest between songs, but for the love of god, just shut up until ready to sing the next song. I don't care what a singer thinks about anything.

Wow... How dirty were his clothes anyway? Surely taking something out of the laundry would have been better than wearing your bed to class...
