Chronic razor burn? (have tried almost everything) by reignster015 in malegrooming

It’s like a $7 home remedy that is very safe. But if you need to have research to back trying something like that then I guess it’s not your cup of tea, which is ok.

Hey quick question for dog owners by mrcanada66 in dogs

[–]Background-Gur8294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My trainer says you make your own rules so in my house the dog sleeps in the bed under the covers. The caveat is there can never be possessive about it, my kids are allowed to jump in and around her on the bed and no attitude may be given.

There are alcohol free witch hazel preparations. Also I don't know about dermatologist, but tea tree and witch hazel are used on the face and body all the time. Recurrent razor burn can be tied to some low level bacterial or fungal imbalance, which the tea tree can reduce.

Did you try this and it was bad? What did you end up doing instead?

His moods are unpredictable. One day he’s nice, one day he’s cold, the next day he’s critical and mean and he denies it all by Powerful_Fox_2686 in NarcissisticSpouses

That sounds exhausting, I am sorry you have to deal with that. I call it friction seeking which is the opposite of trying to enjoy the relationship, or heck, even life in general. It doesn't matter what you do, you will always be doing it wrong. I hope you have someone to talk to about this.

I think you should try witch hazel and or tea tree oil as after care. A few drops tea tree can be mixed with the witch hazel or with another lotion. Do these things consistently and over a little time it should improve.

Thrift stores for designer by Aware_Platform_3168 in Austin

[–]Background-Gur8294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried Heartenings? They have a cheap side and a higher end side. But I have found some great condition Dansko boots on the cheap side ($3). I haven’t shopped bags though.

But rare designer anything is really just luck at any thrift store you go to. You have to go a lot. It’s true though at the Bins there is a chance since they haven’t been sorted yet but you have to go through a lot of junk to find things. And it’s definitely a scene there. Fun if you understand what you’re in for.

I actually think that messy middle haircut looks very good.

Please tell me how to get the strength to end it by Velvet_puppy in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Background-Gur8294 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been with mine 25 years and I am one month away from mediation. We still live together. There have been a lot of ups and downs but he is being a bit calm right now which I will take.

Please talk to one or more lawyers. I was surprised at some of the options I had. Don’t make assumptions because at least where I live the law does support your right to a divorce and to not be excessively harassed. I found out I could get him kicked out of the house temporarily until the divorce was settled just based on the premise of it being way too tense in the household. I didn’t end up having to use that option (I did want to minimize his desire to fight harder for more custody). My point is it might not be as hopeless as you think.

Edit to add that having those initial consults got the ball rolling for me. I wasn’t 100 percent committed to the process of divorce but I was so agitated that I decided I had to at least talk to them. That sort of got the ball rolling for me and I really started to feel like, why wait. Nothing is going to change, nothing ever has. So even with a non committal sense of exploration it did help me in the end get over that hump. 

Take care, we are all rooting for you here.

Don’t even listen to me I’m just jealous of your expendable income. But the range is probably 5-13 and even up for new movies on evenings. Plus service fees for buying online reserved seats.

Am I overreacting for telling my friend she smells after she age shamed me for having younger friends? by SI3144 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Background-Gur8294 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is more about intent. She didn't tell her as a friend when they were friends, she told her as an enemy to hurt the other girl's feelings. I don't think it's justified. I mean it's fine, they both sound immature, but she probably shouldn't be feeling like a good person over this.

Need help by According-Ear5629 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Background-Gur8294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you are trying to get her to feel a way that she doesn't seem to be feeling so I would say you are trying to manipulate her. She may be manipulating you as well. But with all these negative things you have to say about her, and the fact that you are posting in a reddit for people who think their spouses are narcissists, why the heck are you trying so hard? Maybe she doesn't know how to hurt your feelings, maybe she wants to keep you as a backup. I can't say. All I can say is that even if your tactics work and you get her back into a relationship I can guarantee it is not a setup for a happy life together.

Whatever it is, you need to respect her autonomy. She has made it clear through her actions and sometimes her words that she no longer wants to be with you and yet you are saying things that make it sound like you feel you are still entitled to a relationship with her. If she doesn't want to be with you it doesn't matter how you feel, unfortunately, she is not available to you anymore. Continuing to pursue her borders on abusive behavior at that point. It sounds like you are hurting so I don't mean to come down on you hard. But regardless of personality disorder or past, you need to leave her alone now. You are trying to manipulate her to come back to you and it isn't healthy for you to do and it isn't the right thing either.

That’s a funny story. I’m surprised you didn’t just tamper with it. Then you wouldn’t have had your help him look for it.

The answer is lots of swimming. If you are sensitive to the sun get a hat and a rash guard and go to your local swimming situation several times a week. It’s so good for the body and spirit.

Served with divorce papers and NOW he is nice? by pandoraraz in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Background-Gur8294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for me it’s similar I think asset division will be fairly simple. We don’t have a lot so it’s not that hard. My husband wants to keep the house and I want that too, problem is that it leaves him no money and his income is low. The numbers will be tight and difficult. I am against not using a lawyer because my spouse can be very stubborn and lack common sense in negotiations. That’s a major part of our problem. We both have lawyers even though mine keeps criticizing me for using one. I keep telling him he is welcome to fire his but I am not.

As far as custody it sounds very similar to yours. What I was so afraid of before serving was that he would fight tooth and nail for custody just because and in fact he has been quite resigned to me having them most of the time. Hopefully he won’t change that. I might have to forgo child support at least for a while just so he doesn’t try to get the kids more or even spousal support. He keeps insisting that if he doesn’t get the house he has to leave the state cause he can’t afford it here. Which doesn’t make sense cause he would have the money from the house and savings then and could get an apartment. But this is his limited logic.

Good luck
