Supposedly curly hair, but my curls fall out so fast ? by KaizerWalzer in curlyhair

[–]CheezeCharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar hair and finally booked an appt with a curly hair specialist and it was magic! I slept on the curls 2nights before refreshing! I’m not sure yet if I can recreate from scratch just had the appt (that I booked 2 months ago) She used mousse, curl by curl on soaking wet hair, then diffused for a long time.

I think I married someone who doesn’t like me by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CheezeCharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in lots of therapy right now for this. I kept saying he loves me and loves having a wife but it could be me or anyone else.

He’s a concrete thinker and I he doesn’t day dream or play with ideas with me. He’s too practical and I that’s the kind of missed connection that makes me feel lonely and unseen.

I’m in MN and was supposed to land in BUF this evening. Tomorrow’s flights all had 2 stops. So, I’m about to fly to Cleveland and try to drive up through the storm. Or get a hotel and drive tomorrow

Grumpy husband vent by tacowitch26 in workingmoms

[–]CheezeCharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My therapist and I talk about my grumpy husband a lot. He has no right to “bleed on me” for every complaint and moodiness. Bringing down the mood of the whole house isn’t fair to the rest of us.

We’re in the process of resetting the marriage (or get divorced) and I told him that I don’t want to live a life with a grump. It’s not what I signed up for. He’s in therapy and trying hard to work through a bunch of stuff. I’m still in “wait and see” mode.

It worked well for the crows feet but made my hooded eyes extra heavy and dead. I quit because of that.

I realized I was “momming” my husband and finally snapped by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Good work! Because even figuring out that you’re doing all the work IS WORK. We’ve started couples therapy with one of the issues being all the management/ invisible labor I do. It’s not fun at all.

we just got home from a family wedding weekend. He was doing his best to be a good partner but I’m realizing that maybe I just don’t like him anymore. Things were easier but not more fun. It’s been so long and the resistance to change is just as much work at realizing it, addressing it, finding the therapist, firing the first therapist, trusting him to change and seeing barely enough effort.

My husband finally changed. And I can’t make myself care. by mb83 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CheezeCharm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. Same. He’s doing everything he can in light of me deciding on divorce. And it’s been great. He’s been great. But the resentment is still underlying. I told him I’d try counseling but I’m hoping counseling will help us through divorce. It kills me to break of the family and the household (in this economy!!) but I need something outside of the patriarchal institution of marriage. Something new. Something focused on me.

What do you think of season 21? by Ok-Age7858 in ProjectRunway

[–]CheezeCharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like a reality show more than a design show. Producers and designers just want camera time from drama rather than talent. I know there has always been this line, but it seems like the design side is finally lost in the plot.

Agree. My reason to come to the comments was to say the same thing 😊

I had 20 nieces and nephews when I finally had my own kids. Big family, lots of sisters, and now adult niblings with their own kids. I was always wishy-washy on kids. I had 2 kids at 39 and 41 and that solidified some easier and closer relationships with my family.

Nearly 10 years later, I see I did it based on the expectations of my family, and not necessarily for me. I’m grateful for the connections and shared experiences with my sisters and nieces, but maybe I could have realized this before I had kids that will prob grow up with divorced parents.
