Yeah it sounds like your radiator is rusting through. If you're not leaking yet, you're lucky. Time for a new one. And btw smelling radiator fluid all the time can kinda piss you off, my last car, an 87 nova taught me that. Everytime I smell radiator fluid now I get frustrated/irritated.
on the stairs, she grabs my arm, says whats up,
where you been, is something wrong?
i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.

hello blown headgasket (extremely possible)
go to a shop very soon and get it leakdown tested
take a pic of the lumpy brown coolant that you drain, i filled and flushed it 7 times and used a shop vac to vac as much fluid out then filled it with perfect 50/50 and a day or 2 later it looked like rusty lumpy bubbly brown stuff.
this sounds exactly like my story, i replaced the radiator thinking it was mixing tranny fluid into my coolant... soon found i had a blown headgakset.
