Hi all, I'll try not to be too chatty here.

I recently moved just over 2 months ago and ive found myself in a sticky spot.

Moved into an old family home after someone passed and it was worse off than everyone thought it would be. While I am so so grateful for shelter, my bank account was not prepared for needing an electrician, a/c repairmen, and plumber in all of a couple weeks.

I have been able to ration my own food, but I just don't have anything left for my doggo. I am actively working on getting a second job. (My first job I only make enough to pay rent.) My partner is working on finding a second job, but having a hard time finding something close by in this small town. He's having to venture out further and that has increased our usage of gas by double.

Basically unexpected events keep happening and we're not able to catch up fast enough. I was able to afford a small bag of cheap dog food (My dog usually eats Hills Science Diet because she has such a sensitive stomach.). She has about a week or so left of the small bag but it makes her sick every day. I've been trying to mix in applesauce and pumpkin to ease her tummy, but she just needs her normal food.

If anybody is able and willing to help me get her the food she deserves while I can find something to bring in more income, we would be forever grateful and pay it forward as soon as we can.

I do have cashapp and PayPal. I have a deal at a local vet to get her food cheaper than on Chewy and at pet supply grocers a couple towns over. He will give us a 20 dollar discount on the big bag that should last her about 3 months. Plenty of time for my partner and I to get our stuff in order.

Thank you in advance for any assistance but also just for taking the time to read this. 🩷🐶

Edit: Closing post. I asked my friend for help sharing an Amazon list without sharing my location and she decided to help out.

Hi all 👋

For context: I'm 27F and my partner is 25M. We have been having a rough go of it on and off for a few years but love eachother and keep trying. I still don't want to give up but I'm curious about this aspect.

I'm trying to figure out if I'm being needy. My partner and I share hobbies but do so in different ways - like we're both gamers but for different genres and platforms, we both love music but different types, pretty much everything is like this. I don't have an issue with it, but it's part of the story.

We both are pretty independent but have set aside time to do shared things in the past. Play/watch eachothers games/movies, go out and try a new food, or something else random. We recently moved and I figured a new area with all kinds of new opportunities would help our togetherness lull, but I've been feeling more distant than ever.

We tend to spend the following time together: a couple minutes in the morning if we wake around the same time, occasionally if I offer to make him food he'll come cook with me or hang out, maybe 30 mins before bed.

There seems to be a few new habits in his life here... 1 being he has an office now and spends way more time in there. 2, he has been fully enthralled in AI companionship / story writing. 3, I noticed in the past couple weeks we don't even eat anymore we may cook together and then he takes his plate to his office (eating and watching things used to be our time to hang out after work.)

This change in hanging out is not work related - he is still looking for work, so he has a ton of free time.

Also I know this sounds like such a dumb issue, and I do apologize if it's like a spoiled person problem type of thing. My love language is quality time, I've re-reminded him of this recently because I was in a really rough place and needed him. Things haven't changed that much - he watched 2 movies with me one night and sat on the couch with me when the power went out and he couldn't be on his PC.

So I guess... all this led me to ask, am I needy for wanting more? Or asking for more? What is yalls norms? I know this type of thing differs a lot but as people with no kids and both of us looking for work, it strikes me as really strange.
