Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV.

I don’t mean to pry, but… their divorce made them more financially stable?

Eventually. My dad saw an improvement with corn and soybean yields for multiple years in a row in a very strong market, as well as getting his crane operator license so he could move grain bins and paying off several debts. My mom moved to the same town as her job, got some promotions, picked up a couple weekend gigs bartending at the local bar, and heavily subsidized groceries by going to meat raffles.

It sure did for me. My ex was very bad with money.

That I get, though if your ex also got more financially stable, I’m confused again.

Although if both people are just wearing away at each other, that definitely has an effect on your productivity and self control around spending
