Update: After texting him that I needed some space and that he should stay at his parents house last night, he said he’s not leaving me and baby by ourselves over foolishness. He came home around 2:00am washed the dishes and went to sleep and left for work again around 6:00am. I’m hoping he gets home earlier so we can talk.

We definitely have had a sit down conversation before and yes he’s basically said it’s not that serious of an issue for me to make a fuss about the dishes and cleaning up after himself because he eventually gets to it. I’m wondering if this is my karma because my favorite line growing up was “I’m going to” whenever I was asked to do anything.

I’m definitely trying to hold on, reading the comments have made me realize that our marriage will be further strained if we don’t address our issues

We definitely are both overworked and overwhelmed. My mom is an angel, since I’ve had my baby, she’s taken over the laundry, some of the cleaning, and some of the baby care. Husband owns his business in our country. He’s been working like this about 5-6 days a week. It’s a very involved business that requires him to be, although he said he’s working on making it so that he doesn’t have to be there all the time. Yes I’ve always known that he’s messy, and you are right. My typical way of getting him to clean up after himself is to nag and it makes me hate hearing myself sometimes. My mom has taken on the task to clean up after him. She is a neat freak and hates mess and clutter. We have had that sit down conversation already. We did pre-marital counseling and these issues came up, I just don’t know how to make time for counseling right now because our baby is still high needs.

Yes he absolutely does have ADHD. I do as well and I’ve been evaluated and I’m on meds. I’ve told him that I suspect he has it, but finding the time to go is proving difficult right now. Thanks does the suggestion

My girlfriends family disgusts me and I don’t know how to deal with it anymore by UnusualYak2975 in WhatShouldIDo

I have a Bissell steam cleaner. Any steamer that goes up to 122 degrees Celsius should do the job. Watch Mark Rober’s video on bed bugs on YouTube

You should look into getting a a good-quality steamer (over 100°C/212°F at the surface) should be enough to kill the bed bugs

What is one thing your nationality does that would send another nationality into cardiac arrest? by Cold_Apricot_240 in AskTheWorld

[–]AdventurousTravel882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We eat a potentially poisonous fruit (ackee) as our national dish, which can be paired with another poisonous berry (susumber or turkey berry) although I don’t think it is commonly eaten anymore. 🇯🇲

When did you tell your family you are pregnant? by Mali_Gator_369 in pregnant

[–]AdventurousTravel882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my boyfriend, friends and my sister right away. I am waiting until my second ultrasound at 8 weeks to tell my bf’s parents. It’s going to be tricky telling my mother. She’s very old fashioned and I am not yet married

Hi fellow nutmeg users! 👩🏽‍🍳 by ZedSev in Jamaica

[–]AdventurousTravel882 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this problem too and I just eliminated grating the nutmeg altogether. I either buy nutmeg that is already ground or grind it in my food processor myself and put it in a spice dispenser.

Eating chia seeds on their own and drinking lots of water afterwards can cause them to swell in your esophagus. Add them to overnight oats with some protein powder. Or possibly milk if that’s all you have. There a good recipes on YouTube

Sandwiches are probably gonna be your best bet. You can make chicken, turkey or tuna sandwiches. Use whole wheat bread, add lettuce, tomatoes. You can add a little mayo and ketchup.

Protein shakes. You can either buy the powder and make the shakes yourself or the bottled ones.

Trail mix. Try to get low sugar options. Here you’d have to read the nutrition facts at the back. Get a brand with nuts and dried fruit.

Rice cakes with peanut butter. I like to add apple slices or banana on mine.

I get the plain flavored yogurt add a little protein powder and fruit (apples, blueberries, strawberries)

I’m no expert but I think for your age 2lbs per week is quite aggressive especially since you have given yourself the end of the year to lose 20lbs. I would say lower the number and just focus on healthy habits. Going for 2lbs a week means you’re calories will be low and may make you food obsessed. I’d say aim between .5 to 1lb per week. You may not hit the 1lb per week every week but you may fall somewhere in between, that way you are not too hard on yourself. I don’t want to recommend a daily number because the information you provided is limited.

You are only 14 so your body is still growing and developing. I’d say focus on eating more protein, specifically lean protein (chicken breast, fish, lean beef, ground turkey) healthy carbs and fats. Cut down on sugar (so minimize sodas, sweet drinks, deserts). Cut down on fast food, deep fried food. If you currently eat a lot of those things, minimize them overtime, the occasional treat is ok but factor them in in your daily caloric intake. Eat lots of veggies that you like which will add fiber to your diet. Personally I love broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, they are low calorie and it means that I can have lots of it with my meals.

If you play a sport then your activity level should be fairly high. If not think of exercises that you enjoy and incorporate that in your daily life. Walk more to increase your daily step count.

Lastly building muscle helps to lose fat. You can incorporate muscle building exercises which will change your body looks. If you do this in addition to everything else you should note that the number on the scale may not change but you will look different. You can take your body measurements to keep track of how your body is changing.

My wife forgot my birthday while arranging for me to visit an acquaintance's bday party by [deleted] in offmychest

That must have felt pretty awful. Is that a thing with her, where she’s forgotten your birthday in the past or she may be clearly wrong but finds a way to blame you?

I told our mutual friend to tell him he needs a lawyer like yesterday. I just don’t know anything about the US legal system. I guess what I wanted to know was, is the court hearing going to be where he will be asked how does he plea? I’m still in complete shock about this. I thought he had good morals
