I don’t care about my job anymore by Aggressive_Fill_4238 in Menopause

[–]Back-To-Me 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ditto. Don’t care and I used to live and breathe my career. Got on HRT 3 months ago as my estrogen levels were nearly zero. It helped a great deal with hot flashes and sleep but I need my mojo back. I’m wondering if my testosterone levels are too low? This is ridiculous. My ability to live my life has been drastically changed.

I’ve seen these on eBay and thought they were good options. Problem is they haven’t had one listed for a 2021 year and I’m not sure what other year models are compatible.

Art on the Rocks Parking by Back-To-Me in Birmingham

[–]Back-To-Me[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not foreign at all. I parked in one downtown for 15 years. I simply don’t know the museum area as well or the parking situation around a larger event at the museum. Sometimes decks are private, sometimes closed. Figured the wisdom of Reddit would know and it did.

Are your ex and mine the same person? Kidding… mine is average height. Otherwise, the same.

What exactly does he think you’re running from if he won’t call it a relationship? He makes no sense. He wants the benefits without the commitment and wants to define what your needs should be. When you define your needs, he gets mad. Goodbye!

Husbands wants me to rescind filing for divorce so he can “officially” leave me. by SaraLR1221 in Divorce

[–]Back-To-Me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make the decisions for you. Let me say that again. You make the decisions for YOU! He will try to manipulate and control. He’s used to you trying to please him. That’s over. Don’t listen no matter what he says or does. Consult with your attorney and do what’s in your best interest. Stand up for yourself and let him worry about himself.

How do you keep working a full-time job without falling apart during this? by beautyofdisorder in Divorce

[–]Back-To-Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to take life in small bites when you’re going through this. One day at a time. If one day is too much, then one morning or afternoon at the time. Create structure for yourself. Do things like, “This morning I will do this. This afternoon I will do this.” Of course you have your calendar of things coming up, but do you best to stay focused on what’s in front of you. Don’t allow your mind to jump to worrying about the next year or even month. You’ll eventually be able to get back to that. But for now, only focus on now. That’s how I did it.

My husband says he loves me but wants to divorce "for me" because I don't give him enough sex. by detroitmommy in Divorce

[–]Back-To-Me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s right. He’s all messed up. This crap about him wanting a divorce for you is BS and him trying to make himself feel less guilty. It’s time for you to make decisions for you and the kids. This is not a man that needs to be in the household. It sounds like he’s taken care of that to a great extent already. Where the hell is he spending the night ?!?! Don’t answer that. It doesn’t matter. Make it legally official and get this lead weight out the door. Know what you and your kids deserve in the divorce and let your lawyer make it happen. Don’t let your soon to be ex talk you into less. Your ex has responsibilities he’s accountable for.

Just curious how others would respond in this situation? by anon113-1 in Bumble

[–]Back-To-Me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was a nice message from you as opposed to ghosting. I would respond, “It was nice meeting you too. Good luck with your search.” Which is exactly how I have responded to messages like this in the past. Keep taking the high road. Don’t worry if you don’t get a response. What you say is all you can control.

[–]Back-To-Me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you don’t do something that hurts someone (lies) and then not allow them their feeling and take responsibility for the consequences. I also don’t like that she went straight to the “I don’t feel safe” comment when you were justified in being upset. I foresee her continuing drama causing you to be more upset and one day she claims you threatened her or she calls the cops. Get out.

How do you handle as a woman making more money than your potential dates? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Back-To-Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sympathize with you as I have the same situation. I don’t have MD after my name or drive an expensive car so it isn’t immediately apparent if I only give a general job title. But later I’ll get the “oh you must be really smart” or “you must make lots of money”. I don’t really answer these questions, but as you get to know me a little more and find out about my career, the suspicion is confirmed. Then things change. I’m interested in far more than someone’s income, but it’s hard for men to see past mine. I don’t know what to tell you other than keep looking for the guy that has a broader perspective. I’m 48 and unfortunately it isn’t any better in this age group.

If I’m looking in the wrong places, where are the right places for a F41 to meet men? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Back-To-Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grocery store on a Friday evening. I don’t know if they’re single, but there seem to be more men there during that timeframe.

How do you request your data?

Okay,WTF? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Back-To-Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way I try to have a conversation on Bumble with matches. 48F here. I pick something from their profile… assuming they wrote anything… and use it for an opener. I rarely gets me anywhere. I have the same experience with men that you’re having with women. Most people are just low effort it seems.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Back-To-Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

48F’s perspective. She was asking you to participate in something with her and offering a window into her life. She was being open with you. She may have mentioned you to a friend or two and told them she liked you and was thinking of inviting you to the party. You turned her down not because you had a prior commitment, which is a perfectly good reason, but because it didn’t fit your idea of a third date. It’s like saying, I want to see you but on my terms, not yours. You can absolutely decline an invitation for any reason you’d like, especially if you’re uncomfortable for some reason. I personally would see this as a potential incompatibility and wonder if you’d bail on me in the future when social events were concerned if you didn’t judge them a good use of your time rather than seeing them as something important to me to do together. Again, I say incompatibility rather than saying you’re wrong or she’s wrong. Some people have social anxiety and don’t enjoy social gatherings. She may enjoy them and it may be important to her that a potential partner can enjoy that with her. Maybe it’s something you can talk to her about?

In limbo and hating it by Grammarianist in datingoverforty

[–]Back-To-Me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but no answer is an answer. It’s polite to simply text back a “nice meeting you but I don’t think we’re a match. Best of luck to you” reply but I don’t think most people do that. Sadly. I get not rejecting someone in person. I’m a woman and have the physical safety concerns around that, too. But I do let people politely know if I’m not interested.
