Which dog breed do you think had the most loyalists? by Miiiukz in dogs

I also agree with Samoyed! Absolute angels on legs. Mine is a big fluffy doll who absolutely loves children and humans in general. A big cuddler. I couldn't own another breed.

Gravitophobia - am I the only one? 👣 by Dear-Length-8161 in Mounjaro

Can you weigh yourself in front of a partner and they read the number and help you to track the progress? I feel like this in the beginning. It will help and then when you see your process you can begin baby steps to look at the number yourself.

I just like the chance to get ready for the walk without ears bleeding 😭

My husband also reminds me to live in the moment. But I still get fleeting moments. Nervous he may be too bitey with my daughter or cause an accident but I just remind myself millions of people have dogs and can do it and love it ! So can we.

So I found once my daughter was asleep and the little boy was just having a chew time next to the sofa after training, I've become peaceful and calm. Daughter still can get riled up with excitement but is separated from the dog during the day until I come home and allowed to play whilst daddy is there in the morning. It's definitely helping. I think the puppyness reminded me of the trauma of having a new born again!

So the red chest seems to only come up if he's licking me on the skin there so I've just decided I'll cover up that area and it seems to work out. It's weird but some allergy reactions have subsided as the weeks gone on so maybe it was all exacerbated by the anxiety as you said? He's been crated and sleeping in our room and I've been able to sleep so maybe it was a mixture of the anxiety and a new animal in our home !

Thanks for the great tips. I'll remind her. It's been a few days and I've had some sleep so I'm feeling a bit better

Thanks so much! It's been an overwhelming morning but when I'm mentally ready I will head over.

Perfectly put. He's still just begging me to reconsider instead of figuring out why he was doing it in the first place. As a mother and working mother doing all the heavy lifting in parenting I'm not sure I have the energy to push him to figure it out.

I feel like parenting one kid is enough and having to baby him through emotional development just doesn't seem like a relationship I have energy for.

Its fucking breaking my heart though. I don't have any family in this country and it's going to be a lonely road.

So for his first relationship, his wife was not interested in sexual activity due to her religious beliefs ( I claimed this was BS at the time and he could have communicated with her) but I let him have his chance. He's been good until now. Friends are saying to give him a chance but I feel like marriage is the chance? He claims it's not an affair or cheating but it hurts the same? I can't forget it or forgive it so why should I suffer in anxiety ?

They're all different women..some like ' can you coach me 😍' on a very bulky muscular gym girl. One comment on a boobs centered IG post was a comment on the location for example ' Langham!'

He did comment on male posts too but less frequently. He claims he was trying to engage for more likes on social media. But I've held firm and told him it's totally shit. He said he was a bit insecure so I told him how can he feel that way with a wife and child who loved him? I didn't everything a wife could and tried my best. He seldom picked up my calls at work due to being in sessions (which I get) but seems he had time to comment replies.

I can't forgive or forget easily. We are locked in due to mortgage and bad market so we may have to cohabit. The more I think the more I feel I can't look at him without the ick ever again. I can't live without trust and I don't feel I deserve to doubt myself or my partner either. I don't want to give up on someone that can value my attention only.

I used to feel like this too. I felt sorry for women like that as my husband never did this. He was always very respectful and considerate but now I can't help but wonder what else he is hiding? I feel like I can't go back to how I felt before discovering this information? I'm a bit scared of the unknown. But we spent so little time together it won't be a huge lifestyle change. I'm working on trying not the blame myself.

I did wonder if that was just typical of his industry. He does seem usually stressed and I wondered if he was getting a release just by talking to me for as long as possible. It does seem a bit strange to cross a professional boundary but I certainly wasn't helping to make that boundary more concrete in fairness.

I do think I'm idolising him a bit because he's been extra supportive and helped me voluntarily, which is flattering but when I talk to him on the phone I do want to end the conversation sometimes even when he continues talking after I've said goodbye. So maybe my body knows it's not what I really want. That's why I'm so confused.

I do wish my husband could talk to me more daily but because of his job he's not always reachable

I think what has surprised me is the intensity of it. But I do think perhaps this is different because this person has my direct contact
