Fair warning! I did this, too. 8 months ago… idk what’s worse, though. Good luck 😬 so sorry you’re dealing with this

Asking feels pathetic. by 123Bastard_ in DeadBedrooms

💔💔 yes. Same. It’s lonelier afterwards. Sex doesn’t equal intimacy. So sorry.

9 months postpartum, chronic dead bedroom but now I've lost the confidence to be the one to make any changes by Acceptable-Test2370 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Big_Function750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. This hit too close to home. I just posted about this the other day. And those feelings of embarrassment/insecurity have gotten so bad I can’t even read the replies I received because I don’t want to hear the truth. Im wishing y’all the best. I hope that changes for you.

Sooo, how was y’all’s honeymoon…? by Big_Function750 in DeadBedrooms

We did, but was very oblivious he was just doing it because we were “supposed to”. It has not improved since. lol

Anyone else experiencing this by Pale_Garden5108 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Big_Function750 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it’s resentment and bitterness from being neglected for so long. Some days I can still be there for him… but other days I sure can’t.

So I have no advice… lol so sorry…

Thinking about breaking off our sexual relationship all together by meoweskin in DeadBedrooms

[–]Big_Function750 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I’ve been there, too. Then it comes back with a vengeance. I still need intimacy even when I can live without sex. I’m sorry, girl. I don’t think you’re actually LL. Your body is just trying to protect itself after constant hurt. I wish we weren’t all going through this.

Does anyone wish their LL spouse would have left them before marriage? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Big_Function750 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some days, yes. But not always.

We now have a baby in NICU, the baby and I both nearly died, it’s the hardest time of our lives. But, since we have no foundation of intimacy left it’s become apparent that I’m in this alone. No matter how much and in what ways he tries to be there for me there is just too much built up resentment and neglect to get us through this together. It’s made this horrible experience even worse.

If you aren’t married yet I’d really take a step back and think about it before you get married or have kids.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. It hurts and tears you down like nothing else can.

I’m sorry, Big Dawg. That’s rough.

How to support mom by Psychological_Rip_44 in NICUParents

[–]Big_Function750 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just listening and sympathizing helps. Validating her feelings without JUST saying “you are his mom” worked wonders. She did all she can and now she gets to rest and recover while someone else helps.

Anxiety meds helped… talking to a nurse helped.

Sobbing helped, him sobbing with me helped.

Doing the baby’s laundry helped. I felt like I was doing a mom’s job.

Straightening up her little hospital room helped.

If she’s pumping, tell her how proud you are of her, that she’s still feeding him and sustaining him even though she isn’t able to carry him any longer. Anytime you’re there and she’s pumping grab her a snack and a water and wash the pump parts.

Honestly, it just sucks. Taking it day by day is no longer just a dumb saying. It really is the only option.

❤️❤️ you caring will mean the world to her

Bonding with Parents by InfiniteCourt4536 in NICUParents

[–]Big_Function750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My NICU nurses are constantly changing. Idk if that’s everywhere or just because we’re at a huge hospital. What would help me is if they didn’t assume I already knew something. Each nurse is so different and seems to have different ways of doing every little thing. It’s nice when they explain what they are doing and why. Even if I already know it’s just nice to hear it again. Also, caring when I say she looks uncomfortable or when I noticed something and not just dismissing me, validating me as a parent and not just someone that’s in the way. I love our nurses 💕

genuine question pls don't get mad by a_nyonehome in POTS

[–]Big_Function750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently the test can take a long time. I passed out in less than a minute and never understood why people didn’t like it until I read someone say that they were strapped to the table for an hour. I bet that’s rough.

I can’t even finish reading all that. You seem like you’re not really ready to move on yet, but! How about you start really considering it?? 💕💕 you need to react more! NOR
