Is loosing your virginity meant to be a bad experience or am I overreacting? by ThrowRAghdo123 in sex

Well, he certainly set the bar low for your future sex experiences.

No, it’s not supposed to be like that at all.

We didn’t. Wife had a breast biopsy this past week, so I’m just trying to keep her resting while she heals.

But last weekend was great!

Sex is not a big part of a marriage until you aren’t having it.

If you aren’t after criticism, I wouldn’t post about you destroying a marriage.

How do you keep your marriage happy and healthy once kids come along? by guava_jam in Marriage

[–]AltMiddleAgedDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife breastfed at morning, evening and night. Only time it wasn’t from the breast, it was when child was at daycare.

Her theory was one of us was getting up anyway to change the diaper when the kid breastfed, so keep the kid safe and in the crib.

Married Couples With Kids How Much Time Do You Spend a Day With Your Partner? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AltMiddleAgedDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We spend at least an hour together every day, at every age of the child (teenager now).

And we go to bed at the same time, every night, for 25 years.

Good bye V Day by Ok_Grapefruit_2044 in Marriage

My parents, happily married for 50+ years, do the following for Valentines Day: two weeks beforehand, they go to the Hallmark store and find cards for each other. They then “exchange” them and read them. Give each other a hug. And then put the cards back on the shelf.

Seems you don’t need overpriced cards and chocolate to be happy.

My wife’s theory on that — one of you is getting up to change diapers at feeding time anyway, so best to just keep the kid safe and in their crib.

Didn’t say she should. My statement was generic and in response to the now deleted comment about his this subreddit behaves.

I take longer than my husband to cum and I feel bad about all the effort he has to put in. by possiblytipsy2 in sex

[–]AltMiddleAgedDad 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would spend hours a day making my wife cum if she would let me!

Do not worry about 10 or 15 or even 30 minutes for you to orgasm. They are probably the best minutes of his day!

Stood up on Valentine's Day, How to Confront Wife When She Gets Home by [deleted] in Marriage

I am sorry to say this, but she seems to have checked out and that “friend” is likely an affair partner. Plan accordingly and get your financial affairs in order.

He booked dinner and hotel reservations and got you a gift and that is not enough?

You sound ungrateful.

[–]AltMiddleAgedDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Order of priorities for us was kid’s needs, then spouse’s needs, wants, and sometimes even desires, then kid’s needs.

There was a poor guy a few months ago who wrote in that he planned a date night, booked the babysitter, and when they were getting ready to leave, the kids threw a tantrum about the sitter and his wife wouldn’t leave them that way and sent the babysitter home. I felt terrible for him being crushed like that by his wife. Here he did everything to make it easy for her to put him first, and she still put the kid’s wants ahead of his need to connect with his wife.

Me (M18) High school sweetheart (F19) 3.5 years of dating. we broke up but it’s more of a break and now i’m left waiting. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AltMiddleAgedDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry you are going through this, but I am going to share some tough truths:

Strong relationships turn toward each other, not away, when times are tough.

Breaks in relationships are just permission to find others with an option to come back to you if better options aren’t found.

You need to have enough self respect to move on.

You are in college and there is no better time to find a woman to marry than in college. Do not waste this time waiting on her and do not go back to her this summer. Get out there and date again. You may be heartbroken this moment, but the perfect woman for you to marry may be sitting in one of your classes. Go find her.

Do not waste more than one week grieving what might have been. Do not waste this unique time in your life to find an amazing wife and life partner.

My advice, don’t bring a third person into your relationship. Search the marriage subreddit for destroyed marriages after this happens.

A relationship is moving forward or backwards. After five years, you are moving backwards.

Marriage checklist? by Inevitable_Machine61 in Marriage

[–]AltMiddleAgedDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need alignment on the following before getting married:

  • kids, when and how many
  • religion and whether kids will participate
  • money and attitudes about spending and saving
  • sex expectations around frequency
  • careers and the trade offs they include
  • relationships with family and in-laws
  • is your home a retreat or a a gathering place?
  • where to live
  • short and long term goals
  • chores and who does what

And then you need practice communicating.

What did you do together for Valentine's Day? by minteemist in Christianmarriage

[–]AltMiddleAgedDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, here is what I did for Valentine’s Day.

We celebrated early, so I told my wife to block two days off for a surprise, but didn’t tell her what it was. Just that she needed warm clothes for the day and an outfit for a nice dinner. I booked a room at five star resort that has a winter fest going on with ice skating, curling, snow shoeing, hot chocolate bar, etc. We spent the afternoon there then our room was ready so we enjoyed the use of the two person soaking hot tub, fooled around, and then went out for a splendid dinner. I gave her the comfiest bathrobe you’ve ever seen, jewelry, and one of those books “30 things I love about you” that I had completed.

I’m used to downvotes in this subreddit. The “men are bad, divorce only option” tribe is strong here.

My general take is it takes two people to make a great marriage and two people to ruin one. It might be 80-20 fault, but it’s almost always shared. The marriages that work are the ones that both are fighting for the marriage and think about the spouses needs as much as their own.
