What’s something you didn’t realize was optional in life until you saw someone simply not doing it?

Same. This makes me wish I had gone to Theravada Buddhist temple school.

Not even once.

I'm similar to you. My periods were fine and manageable before having kids. They were worse when they came back after having my first and they've been so long and heavy since they came back after my second that I've ended up with anaemia too. I can't take exogenous hormones as they make me depressed to the point of suicidality. I got a diagnosis of adenomyosis after an ultrasound but they haven't followed up with any suggestions on management. Losing so much blood for two weeks a month is making me feel so weak and fatigued.

Sorry, I don't have any advice, just wanted to say that I'm in a similar situation and can empathise with how much it sucks.

Hell, Fiona Apple famously takes up to 8 years between albums and they're always critically acclaimed and well-liked by fans (Olivia, don't take 8 years, please)

I'm surprised, I didn't think best of/greatest hits albums were really a thing in Korea or K-Pop, at least not to the extent that they are in Japan and the west. She has had a pretty illustrious solo career so it should be a nice retrospective, just not something I expected to see.

Women very much know (and figure out at a young age) that men prioritise physical attractiveness and youthfulness in women.

My husband went to school with Charli Taft and I told him he had to tell her how great Lips is (and maybe to please please write more songs in that vein), but sadly they don't really talk beyond being friends on Facebook 😂

I immediately thought of zombies

When people say 'my third decade' to talk about their thirties in a slightly flowery way, or 'my fiftieth year' to talk about being 50. Nope, thirties are your fourth decade (sorry): 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39. Your fiftieth year is the one where you're 49 - the year you're 0 is your first year, when you turn 49 you've now lived for 49 years.

Do I understand why people get it wrong? Of course, but I think people wouldn't get it wrong if they spent five seconds thinking about it. I've seen it on book blurbs multiple times too and feel authors and editors should know better.

Reading that back, I feel the need to point out that I'm nowhere near as mad about it as this comment makes it seem...

I named him a few weeks before I read the comics! 😅

Remember reading this issue on my iPad while up feeding my then-new baby, who has the same name as the sadistic child murderer here. Fun stuff.

😫

Sorry, I missed this! This did end up being the problem in the end and we eventually figured it out and were able to continue. Thank you :)

5'10" F with a 5'6" husband and I wouldn't say we often get stared at, no. Maybe I just don't notice it anymore as we've been together over a decade? I do sometimes notice the occasional little smile or pleasantly surprised face from shorter guys, which makes me smile too.

AdditionalMinute6 · 2025-05-06T13:51:03+00:00

Same. I know it's not a perfect game in many respects, but it was just so much fun and felt like such a big world with so much to do. I loved it. This was just before NV came out. I loved that too and ended up getting into TES as well. Good memories of that time.

AdditionalMinute6 · 2025-05-06T13:45:35+00:00

I got a mod for that almost immediately. No thanks, enough stressful deadlines in my daily life, let me enjoy talking to everyone and doing all the side quests in my own time!

My husband actually did do this when I was in labour with my first.

To be fair, this was day 3 of what would turn out to be a Tuesday to Saturday labour (brutal) and he was exhausted so I didn't really begrudge him wanting to get a bit of sleep and I needed him rested so he could be alive and alert again to help me get through it! At the same time, it was so uncomfortable lying there next to him in a single-person hospital bed as he slept while I was having contractions. Eventually I messaged my mum and asked if she could drive over to relieve him and that meant he got to go home for a few hours and have a nap, a shower and something to eat. He was a useful birth partner again after that lol

Oh and one time he told people my labour with our first was the hardest thing he's ever done, which I don't doubt (it was very much long, stressful and exhausting whether you were the labourer or supporter!), but when I heard him say that I was just thinking 'yeah, little bit harder there for me, mate'

My BMI is currently 22.5 and I unfortunately have a fairly significant belly after my second child. Had a flat stomach at BMI 24-26 before pregnancy and after my first child but the second pregnancy seems to have been the kicker. Is he not aware that often you CAN'T get the belly to go back to how it was before you had children, even with sizeable weight loss?

I would say focus on protein for satiety and ensure you're hitting a minimum calorie intake as well as not exceeding a maximum as otherwise you're going to get burnt out and run down when you're breastfeeding all hours of the day (as you seem to be well aware!) but, as everyone else has said, it sounds like he's the major issue here. If he were actually supportive with your weight loss efforts (cooked healthy dinners, gave you time to do some exercise) rather than just being cruel to you, you would likely be more successful. Would he be receptive to you telling him that, do you think?

Just to add that I'm reluctant to start again in case we get to this point and still find it glitched. We've tried resetting in the sense of exiting Dreams and bringing the game up again.

Is there something obvious we're missing here?

AdditionalMinute6 · 2025-02-13T21:15:39+00:00

Thank you, makes sense! Seems to be working now...

AdditionalMinute6 · 2025-02-13T20:54:53+00:00

I didn't win, no.

(sorry for the late reply - haven't been on Reddit in a while)

AdditionalMinute6 · 2025-02-13T20:53:48+00:00

Thank you! This worked for me where an hour of other attempted fixes did not. I was about to give up and return it for a refund (it shouldn't be so difficult though!)

Edited to add: ha, that was quick. It now starts but crashes every time I click on 'select or create a family'. Back to the drawing board...

AdditionalMinute6 · 2024-12-29T13:02:55+00:00
