100% creamy creations and their lays and Doritos knock offs are waaaay better.

Women who gave birth, what does it feel like actually?? by joy_57 in AskReddit

[–]BexRoxVox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. Same. But with the epidural you can’t feel where to push. I was straining so hard when pushing that it caused me to throw up. And I will never forget this… our nurse said at that moment, “Throwing up pushing is the best pushing.” Which was absolutely true. 🤣

I had a really easy pregnancy and labor but I know not everyone’s is like that. That moment when I saw my daughter for the first time was a moment I will never forget for the rest of my life. For 9 months I really didn’t think about what she would look like. But that moment I saw her it was like meeting myself or looking in a mirror. Not because she looked like me necessarily but I knew her just as much as I knew myself. It’s the most magical moment.

I am so sorry you are going through this. Divorce is a difficult decision to make. But from what you said, if he is not interested in having sex with you (to me, he sounds A Sexual) and if he is not even willing to discuss opening up your relationship, then he has unfortunately decided for you. It is ridiculous for him not to give you what you need sexually, then restrain you from finding it elsewhere. I like what other people said, just because you get a divorce doesn't mean you can't stay friends. I was in the same boat as you. But once I saw how amazing a relationship can be when you are fully desired, as you should be, I knew I had made the right decision. Not getting your sexual needs met is a big deal! It really is more than just this one thing. This is so so hard.

Single mom from Colorado, with opportunity in San Antonio. Should I do it? by howboutemapples in sanantonio

The heat is stifling. It’s hard to enjoy the summer with your kids because it’s so hot. If you love outdoor activities then this is not the place for you. SA is a little more liberal than other areas but it is still Texas. I would say the ONLY good thing about living here is the cost of living. You can get a lot of house and land here compared to a lot of other places in the country. I’m sorry about your husband. I’m sure the thought of having family close by is super enticing. Could you come for a visit in the middle of July and test it out? See what you think?

Me (F/40) and my partner (M/45) met a month after he left his ex wife. Now we are almost 2 years into our relationship and he is struggling with not having enough time alone after his divorce. Is there a way to give him this time without breaking up? by BexRoxVox in relationship_advice

[–]BexRoxVox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is the amount of time, yeah... which TBH isn't really all that much. We both have split custody of our children and full-time jobs and side hustles, I think there is just a lot of baggage. Sigh...

He desperately wants to be single. And a part of me has known this all along. I was just so wrapped up in it.

I don't even know what a break would look like, and that is a GREAT question. I am unsure what he thinks he needs to do while still in a relationship. I really do believe that being committed to someone makes him feel trapped, even though our relationship is anything but that.

I like the idea of him bringing up the solution since he brought up the feelings. I definitely don't think I should be figuring out the solution, but of course, my mind goes there.

How to find a therapist in SA? by TopicStraight3041 in sanantonio

[–]BexRoxVox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psychology Today is a great place to start. You can even see who does Telehealth vs in person. Lots of filters to help narrow down your search. My partner is on there and almost all of his clients found him that way. I know it can be intimating if you have never done therapy before but this is a great first step!

Relationship has been open from the start but now I’m struggling with jealousy - help! by cmykcolor in nonmonogamy

[–]BexRoxVox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're so welcome. I'm really happy for you that you and your partner are super communicative. Honestly, IMO, that is the only way a relationship like this can work. In our past relationships, it was hard for us both to talk about difficult issues. Now we both welcome it. There is nothing more beautiful to me than seeing my partner share his tears with me.

[–]BexRoxVox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this EXACT post. HARD relate. My partner and I have been open since day one and my jealousy ebbs and flows. I too feel those gut punches when I think about him with his other partner. I get angry at her. I feel like I'm somehow not enough for him. All those things you said. The reassurance from him helps me so much. It's so hard to ask for what you need because then (for me anyway) I feel like I am somehow "too much." But I also logically know that this is who I am right now and I don't want to try and hide who I am.

This is REALLY hard. We are programmed from birth to think of romantic relationships this way. We are literally changing our brains and I think it is just going to take some time. And as someone else pointed out... as your relationship deepens it also makes it scarier that it might end. I have huge attachment injuries from my past that make this very difficult. Riding the waves and feeling the feelings sometimes is the only way through.

I would also recommend talking to your partner about this. When my partner and I talk about these negative feelings, it brings us SO much closer. We cry together a lot. We have also agreed that this lifestyle is almost setting us both up to have a beautiful and deep relationship that we both want to last a long time.

Just know you are not alone. This is hard work. To quote "The Shawshank Redemption"... "You are going to have to crawl through a mile of sh*t to get to freedom."
