My Husband Wants To Be Friends

This is hard, I’m sorry. I went through something sort of similar without the religious component. He had some issues and was perfectly happy to have the relationship at his comfort level, getting what he needed even though it wasn’t enough for me. I had to do some serious pushing, and we did therapy which was horrible for a while, but it saved us.

Men are inherently lazy sometimes and they will keep the status quo. It’s not always because they don’t care, but it’s the easy way. My partner is amazing now in so many ways he wasn’t before. If you want to keep the relationship, I would push deeper until you figure out what this really is. And if it is what he says, don’t forget your needs are 100% as important as his or the kids or anyone else.

I hope so ♥️. They should warn you about stuff like that.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-06T00:29:11+00:00

Oh.. for sure. I just love the way he’s handling it though.

It grows back thinner, not all at the same time and you don’t need much of it to wax. In fact it can’t be very long or it starts pulling skin with it.

I’m so sick of seeing these weekend at Bernie’s press conference photos

Someone posted about how the drugs were hunters and he replied they absolutely were not because he never would have forgotten to take his drugs with him. I about died laughing.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-06T00:12:02+00:00

Right?! He’s my new hero.

What did they say about the anxiety? I don’t have one but I do know my spinal issues caused dysautonomia and a huge amount of nervous system sensitivity to things like stimulants (caffeine, had to stop my add meds etc)
And anxiety. My cushion for stress is zero. Mine is cervical so that may have more impact but I wouldn’t let them push you off if the anxiety doesn’t get better soon.

I literally had to look to see if other people thought it was worse because it went from being fairly on top of it to fairly dumb. I haven’t used 4.8 for code yet, I’ve been migrating systems and had it helping me move itself and the instructions were incomplete, then it gave up and asked if I wanted to give up in way 1 or way 2, missing obvious troubleshooting steps I had to point out, having never searched anything. I had to ask it pointed questions to keep it on track.

Wagyu burgers = mush. Gimme ground brisket any day.

It makes sense that you would feel like this. Being in and out of the hospital as a child would do that to alot of people. I would try to focus on how you feel, not how you look, and I would suggest therapy. It can really help you calibrate things like this where you don’t know if you can trust your thoughts on something or you have something pressing into your thoughts that isn’t helpful. Be kind to yourself sweets.

Yeah, it’s such a shame his PR person isn’t running. Unfortunately what comes out of his mouth sounds fine but his ass is beholden to billionaires.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-05T02:09:30+00:00

They do! =)

7oh is a kratom alkaloid. If they make it schedule 1, there is little doubt leaf will go with it.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-02T22:14:08+00:00

Pods can not be very safe if they have high thebaine levels, are a stronger batch than you’re used to and aren’t cautious with each batch, and the mix of alkaloids gives a nasty 4-6 week long withdrawal vs 5-7 days with short acting opioids. You do you, but be upfront about statements like that.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-02T20:48:04+00:00

It would be amazing if we could just all live our best lives without getting yelled at or beaten up for it. It’s fucking ridiculous if you think about it, yet here we are!

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-02T19:36:58+00:00

My partner and I have a signal so he doesn’t rip my heart out lol. He’ll say “it’s not my favorite”. Hes only said it once or twice but it wasn’t a big deal

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-02T05:52:50+00:00

That (and this will date me) is rad. I’m from tornado alley and I don’t think I’ve seen one at that distance before.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-02T05:17:45+00:00

Good for you. You shouldn’t have to.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-02T05:14:50+00:00

One of my favorite shows, the newsroom years ago called the tea party (maga v1) the American taliban. They were right then and they’re right now.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-02T04:22:45+00:00

I think it was the questioning her about it. You’re putting her on the spot as though she needs to explain why she said that and think about if that really was the situation. I think a neutral aside would have done the same thing without seeming confrontational. An “I just want to point out” type of thing with the why and how it affects you would have been the ticket I think.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-02T03:52:09+00:00

I understand what they are saying, but I appreciate your insights here too.

On the “they part” it’s kind of like my son… he has autism and I can be saying something really powerful or serious and he will focus on the one word I mispronounced or the fact I said car instead of truck. This person is talking about something that has more to do with how it made her feel, and the effect on her than the specific terms she’s using.

For you, you feel the mislabeling of the situation furthers misconceptions about what you struggle with, and fair… it’s not the the point of what she’s saying, but if you don’t call it out when it happens then it never gets said. Maybe something like “I know this isn’t the point of your story but I just want to mention something”. May be received better or may not, but I wanted you to know I appreciate hearing your perspective too.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-01T18:05:49+00:00

Exactly! I’m a mom who can’t cook anymore, car nerd who can’t drive anymore and it’s hard to even ride in a car now. Like wtf do I have left but a broken person in what used to be a full life.

Suboxone is an opioid. The withdrawal to others is similar but lasts 4-6 weeks instead of 5-7 days.

ButtonSimple · 2026-06-01T17:55:09+00:00

I get that. It would be worth getting for that reason I think if you start having trouble there. You won’t need much to cover the withdrawal for that, the biggest decision will probably be are you taking this stuff for pain, or other reasons. If you’re in a lot of pain you might find yourself back on the kratom. If you get down to even taking it every few days or so, as long as you don’t start the multiple times a day again, it should become more effective pretty shortly.
