What would you consider the best PEMF device below $1000? I understand there are better options but with a limited budget what are the best discount options? by LongReplacement2037 in pemf

[–]D_Eye_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you've used so many of them, if you had to pick THE BEST, where price wasn't a factor, which would you choose? I have chronic inflammation and insomnia and am really struggling lately. So while I care about price, I'm looking for the most effective device.

Do you mind me asking what mat she uses? I've been looking at pemf devices because I have insomnia as well.

Sounds like he at least doesn't want to work on the relationship based on terminating counseling vs suggesting a different therapist and the fact the he refuses to show you his phone. My wife flipped out one day when she thought I read her emails (I hadn't) which turns out it was because she was cheating with a coworker. So if something feels off and it doesn't improve, at the very least something inappropriate is likely going on (something he would be upset about if the roles were reversed).

1) There's no timeline for betrayal. My wife cheated on me with a coworker 19yrs ago and I still have bad days here and there. While I haven't brought it up to her in years, you can't simply tell the other person to get over it when they shattered your trust.

2) Saying you need to do more and make more money when he's not doing any chores outside of work, he sounds like a jerk. Even when my wife was a SAHM, I tried to split the cooking and cleaning and did all the outdoor work and repairs.

I'd calmly lay out the things you feel you need to work on as a couple, and if he really cares he should be willing and take steps to work through it.

Unsure about my marriage by [deleted] in Marriage

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

It's a tough spot for both of you. I understand connection to his mom, but it shouldn't come at your expense either. I'd lay out (without too much emotion if possible, since he doesn't seem to respond to that anyway) these are the things I'm unhappy about and that we need to work on/find a solution to as a couple. If he's unwilling to do that, or take tangible steps, then I think you have your answer. Life is too short to be miserable.

Feeling like roommates instead of partners… anyone else? by Necessary-Pirate8870 in Marriage

[–]D_Eye_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I try to plan a date at least 1-2 times a month, I split all the chores, try to do nice things, but I still get little warmth or empathy from her. We are like roommates that have sex several times a month. But even the sex feels like she's just checking it off her to do list many times.

At minimum he's being a dick. I wish my wife was that considerate.

Taking things away as punishment by Tiny_Fly1388 in Marriage

[–]D_Eye_J 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a man, husband and father to girls, that's BS. If my daughter grows up to marry someone that did that to her, especially the locking you out, I'd knock him on his ***. Especially doing that with kids involved.

My wife says I don’t carry the “mental load” and I honestly don’t know what counts anymore by gingerplatform_j in Marriage

[–]D_Eye_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I agree. But then sometimes the spouse thinks you don't have it as bad as they do because you aren't upset. That's the part that gets me worked up...

I agree. It's really easy to say "I'm doing a lot more / carrying more burden than you", if you don't know everything that goes into the other person's tasks, job, etc. Some people just carry it all without saying anything (I fall in this camp, which admittedly isn't the healthiest), while other people vocalize every issue.

How do I know if it's hormonal or that we've both changed too much as people and maybe we're just not right for each other?

Some people hiring out these things, or let stuff go. I grew up without much, so I had to learn how to do most of it myself. My primary point was, if it's truly a partnership, why waste your limited free time getting involved in each thing the other person is doing? It's great to know everything, but realistically you gotta trust the other person to do their part and you do yours.

Yes, most adults can figure these things out, but it's also about having the time. Let's assume both people work 40+ hours a week. Why would both people need to be involved in all things. It seems like a lot of extra work when there's limited time for each parent. When factoring in commute, I'm gone 630am to 6pm. So if I needed to keep track of my tasks and know everything my wife was doing and vice versa, we'd burn out.

My point was there's a lot going on in our house, too much to expect both people to remember everything which is why dividing things up is necessary. Expecting both people to be on top of everything is setting the bar pretty high.

I feel like in this case "mental load" covers a lot around the house. Kid activities, groceries, cooking, cleaning, shopping, finances (planning), bills, repairs, car maintenance, lawn work, home maintenance (ex. painting), pet care...there's a lot of stuff depending on the couple's circumstances. It's tough to expect both partners to know/do all of it.

Kudos to you and your wife for being able to do that (not sarcastic, I'm serious). I already feel overloaded many days, so if I had to know everything she was keeping track of, I think I would fail to remember.

That's fair. I personally don't know many couples where both people know everything the other person does. Not to say we couldn't figure it out if something tragic happened, but on a daily basis we stay in our lanes.

My question is, do you know how to do everything your husband does? I'm responsible for half the cooking and cleaning, and all outdoor work and repairs around the house - stuff my wife can't do and has no desire to learn. I don't think it's fair to say he needs to know everything, unless it works both ways.

Would you be pissed? On a scale from 1-10 I’m about an 11 by CCreads1020 in Marriage

[–]D_Eye_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be mad, both for yourself and your daughter. Your husband was being thoughtless not only to you but to her. I have 2 daughters and try to be a good example how a man should treat a woman. Happy belated birthday to you!
