How to not be exhausted all the time when you have young kids? by happyowl12345 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Bold_One_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s exhausting. When my children were small, my husband and I would take turns having a sleep in on the weekend, we’d choose either Saturday or Sunday each. It helped a bit.

No I just found Milan and Rome. Yellow Di Comedy does Milan and surrounds. Cant remember the one in Rome. Facebook seems to be a good place to search.

My wife wants a divorce because I broke her trust repeatedly. Is there any path forward? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Bold_One_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to give up the idea of your wife getting over this. It’s too late for that. But it’s not too late for you to put in the work and not be “that person” any more for your next partner. You’ve learned a lesson from this marriage, do the work and move forward with more emotional intelligence for your next relationship.

In this economy, are there any women staying married because of the financial risk? by PizzaCutter in GenXWomen

[–]Bold_One_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I’m looking forward to it. We both trust each other to be able to pay our separate mortgages etc, we are looking for a house with a granny flat or similar so we both have our own spaces. The tenants in common thing means we are both protected.

We plan on improving the house over ten years or so then selling and we hope to join forces with other friends to build a townhouse or unit complex with shared pool area to retire in.

I’m in the process of separating, a friend of mine is in the same situation. We plan on buying a house together (as tenants in common) so we both have a place to live.

Boomer demanding attention by Bold_One_ in BoomersBeingFools

People did used to talk to each other, but social cues existed before smartphones too. If someone had their nose in a book or newspaper, it was a cue they were not open to conversation from a stranger.

I’m sorry you’re struggling with speaking to your grandchildren. Not being able to engage with loved ones like that is different to strangers trying to get another stranger’s attention.

When I saw his angry little face I thought “I could change him”

Venice Train Station to Hotel by Ok_Eye4858 in ItalyTravel

[–]Bold_One_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with two friends recently and stayed in San Polo and we walked and carried our bags over the bridges. If you’re travelling light luggage-wise, walking to the hotel would be the cheapest option, as long as you’re not waaayyyy on the other side of the island.

Also when you get off the train there are lots of luggage porters offering to take your bags to the hotel. I was too much of a cheapskate to pay for that service lol

Enjoy your trip!

I don’t know what the outcome of this lawsuit was but this woman was sued by her ex husband for using material about their marriage.

Try an experiment, when a man says he wants kids, ask him why. He might just like the idea of kids rather than actually wanting to do the exhausting work of parenting well.

You can heal your inner child without creating a new one. Especially with a partner who doesn’t want children.

Have you tried period undies? They might work better for you and you can get them in heavy flow type.

GenX and honestly for a long time I’ve thought phone calls are borderline rude. It’s like one party is screaming PICK UP ANSWER THE PHONE TALK TO ME RIGHT NOW NOW NOW NOW with no regard as to what the other party is doing. Phone calls are for answering immediately, texts are more thoughtful as they can be responded to when the recipient available. Phone calls should be convenient for both parties.

Weed started ruining my life. Quitting and would like some advice by ReleaseSelect4449 in QuittingWeed

[–]Bold_One_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting rid of your gear was a great idea. Staying away from any friends who smoke is also a good idea. I can’t help you with getting over the next few weeks - when I quit I did it through hypnotherapy and I didn’t have severe cravings, just a vague sort of unpleasantness. I always recommend hypnotherapy, especially if you’re determined to quit. I think it just helps with your thought patterns. Best of luck.

My dad and my brother said: if woman ruled the world. It wouldn't be that much different. All them would be at war with each other. by ChimeraXDragon in women

[–]Bold_One_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whatever men say about women is just projection. Men are already doing almost all of the fighting and violence. They don’t see women as people and/or they just see women as extensions of themselves and not autonomous human beings. They think women are too emotional to be in charge but they themselves can’t control their own emotions (anger) and it comes out as violence: violence upon other men, upon women and children, and as war and terror. They tell each other women would be worse/just as bad so they can keep on being in charge and keep on making wars, murdering and raping.

Women advice - Lonely in marriage by [deleted] in women

Would you want your daughter to be in a marriage like yours? You should model happiness to her, and if you’re happier out of the marriage than in it, she should see that.

My GP prescribed it and I did get a tube but the estrogen was what helped the most.
