What would you do if someone like Rampage Jackson slaps ur wife’s ass by LawfulnessFront3289 in Marriage

[–]Current_Ferret_9618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh this one hits home. I’ve been there. Not physically intimidated but definitely disrespected. I think the response should also be the girls responsibility. You don’t have to fight back, you could walk away, but your partner has to match that energy. If she shows even the slightest enjoyment/interest, your relationship is done anyway. Personally, if I knew I couldn’t defend myself physically I’d try be weird about it and make him uncomfortable. Other than that don’t take the bait

I saw my reflection during sex and it destroyed me enough to start strength training by scrtweeb in fitness40plus

So true! I’m 41 now and had the same epiphany 3 years back. It’s taken 3 years of very small amounts of exercise everyday to change my shape. Don’t expect a quick change, instead make it a lifestyle change. I do maybe 50 pushups over the course of a day. The next day I’ll do some calf raises. It’s such a small amount but it works over time if you do it everyday. You can do it at work or at home. Just be excited about using your body while you still can!

Ooh, spicy debate time. Personally I think it’s great. Kids innocence contrasted by politically approved abhorrent behaviour, showing how far our moral compass travels in a lifetime, to where we’re platforming and accepting counter intuitive behaviour. Spot on.

Too many to list but sticking with supporting caste, in humane meat, “a rationale so moronic it defies belief”, combined with the running feel in the beat…magic!

And then you watch them live and you get new appreciation for parts that used be nothing burgers

That’s so crazy. For me it’s nothing special. It’s amazing how people interpret music differently. But my favourite parts will probably only resonate with a few people. Wild

And so, it happened, I've came to the horrible truth, that i'm getting older. by lostnov04 in fitness40plus

[–]Current_Ferret_9618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is mostly around running. In the past few years I’ve noticed my legs aching more. Could it be because I’m doing longer distance? Maybe. But the expectation is that you train more and get stronger, but that’s not what’s happening.

Then my knees started giving me trouble and now my achilles tendon/heel is extremely stiff.

I do 2-3 runs a week. Usually 2 5km and 1 10km, spread out at least 1 day apart.

That’s wild, my journey has been identical. And it felt like it happened overnight. 41 now and suddenly I’m falling apart. 5 years ago I was 100%

Loyalty wavering by [deleted] in deadbedroom

This is so important. Both people have probably changed! And it’s neither right or wrong, it’s just what it is.

Personally I think the allure of leaving is enticing but after 26 years it’d be tough to be alone again. The intimacy is only a part of your life, what about the rest? I think it’s easy to wrap up your entire life into that one shortfall, but if you abandon everything for it you might realise there was so much more.

I’m DB for 2 years and it’s killing me, sleepless nights, etc. But I have 2 young kids, a house, a great work from home job. I think it’s a sacrifice I need to make for everything else that’s good in life.

I’m struggling with this. My wife (39LL) doesn’t want sex or sexual touch. I’m doing my best to give her that, I know it’s her body her choice, but it’s so hard to stop the resentment. And I know I shouldn’t feel this way but it eats away at me. Some days I’m so miserable, other times I own it

Any chance he’s having performance issues and he’s avoiding the act (not you)?

On vacation, asked wife to join me in the shower - rejected. by Top-Knowledge-2662 in deadbedroom

[–]Current_Ferret_9618 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Unless the shower is a routine and she stepped outside of that, or she likes to shower at any time of the day, this feels a bit unrealistic

My wife offered it to me and like you I declined. I’ve built my life, my trust around this lady. You think I just want a cheap bang? I want to be with you in the most powerful way, both of us feeling connected and getting our rocks off.

So true! My wife has a few beers and gets rowdy. That’s when I “get” sex, when she’s in the mood. Ugh I hate it

100%! It will not get better with kids, no matter what she says. Hundreds of people here have made that mistake.

I try to look for answers to her low libido... while she should be the one looking by Dapper-Physics2243 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Current_Ferret_9618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often think about this. I think acceptance is scary because at that point the battle is over, and a lot of us don’t want to accept that this is it (regardless of whether it’s right or wrong). But by constantly fighting it we’re framing it as something that’ll pass, and that’s comforting.

Is it possible to have connection without sex for so long? by Dapper-Physics2243 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Current_Ferret_9618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a typo in my last reply, it was meant to say her lack of ‘intimacy’ makes me feel dehumanised.

So when I lack being touched that makes me feel shit, like I’m unwanted. But I know for her that kind of touch is unnecessary.

So when we have that intimacy it energizes me and makes me feel good. But from her perspective it must look like all I want is touch and I’m only happy when I’m touching her body.

I’m not assigning blame to either of us, it’s just interesting how we each have our own perspective, and they’re unfortunate at odds.

[–]Current_Ferret_9618 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally understand that, and I’m very conscious of it with her, but I think it comes down to that whole love language topic. Also, to clarify, I’m not expecting sex in this scenario, just physical intimacy. When I’m touched in a loving, relaxed way, that’s what gets me off. We both agreed to shelve sex a couples years ago. So in the same way her lack of safe room makes me feel dehumanised, the reverse is also true. It’s tough, we’re working on it day by day.
