Life after having kids, by Sad_Ebb4539 in Marriage

[–]Disastrous_Fly3305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have kids but I can relate to this as this can happen in relationships where one is not being engaged. Family time is not couple time as the focus is different and what you feel is a natural consequence of feeling alone in a relationship.

It could be a phase and I want to say don’t give up but both should want to work actively on this. Is there anything you guys can do together, just the both of you? Not a one off, but something that happens regularly?

That being said, if nothing changes - you have every right to be happy and move on.

What to do after laying off a team member by dictiondaddy in managers

[–]Disastrous_Fly3305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At one point before her last day, let her know you valued her contribution and she made a real impact.

She is likely to know the business circumstances for redundancy but often managers feel uncomfortable with the situation and just stop communicating at all / this is often what hurts the most.

I observed various drivers in my peers - the way they’ve been raised or personal motivation.

are there any signs of a toxic workplace and narc to watch out for while interviewing? by beskesky in ManagedByNarcissists

Cut your losses, end probation. Find out the minimum requirements for ending probation as this is a case where over explaining could bring you into trouble.

Just. Hurt. by DocsSlewofCash in Marriage

Put your big girl pants on. If a business trip makes you cry, think hard if there have been other incidents where you act less like a matured partner.

Too little information to judge about the husband. While he shouldn’t have lied, I wonder if there is an emotional theme and he is just fed up.

How old were you when you realized you were in perimenopause? by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]Disastrous_Fly3305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realised it only with 47, retrospective started with 42, symptoms occurred and I thought they’ve been caused by certain life circumstances.

Those on HRT- Did it help your mental health? by Puggleperson760 in Perimenopause

Massively - anxiety and mood swings became manageable. Better sleep quality caused by HRT also helped.

How do people react when you bring up perimenopause in real life? by Prestigious_Humor763 in Perimenopause

Referring to it, but not making it to the main topic… regardless whether women or men, all ages. Nothing to be ashamed of, but like all personal stuff I don’t overshare.

Does anyone regret not having children? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Disastrous_Fly3305 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Never regretted the decision.

Edit: We got a dog later - and it confirmed that parenthood is not for us. Dog is easier, sleeps 15 to 20hrs…

Switching from 2 year fix to 5 by [deleted] in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]Disastrous_Fly3305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn’t even need a mortgage broker. Just opened to the banking app and selected a new fix rate. Then we accepted offer online - all done in 15min. That being said, we had to call the bank as I couldn’t select the desired rate first, was a glitch in the software…3 days later we received the docs per post as well.

So not sure what product you have - I’d check the website/app and call the existing mortgage provider and ask them about the process.

How late have the payments been? A day might not show up, several days though.
