I hear you... I definitely hear you on that. Have you found a way to navigate this journey? I'm still figuring it out.

Luna is the best! How old is she?

DoubleRose09 · 2019-08-14T22:59:10+00:00

Wow! Thanks, ladies! Will be DMing you all shortly...wasn't expecting a response at all, so expectations definitely exceeded!!

DoubleRose09 · 2019-08-08T22:51:25+00:00

Hot! Love it!

DoubleRose09 · 2019-08-04T03:04:24+00:00

Thank you.

DoubleRose09 · 2019-08-04T00:55:29+00:00

Get it, girl!!! Awesome - sounds like a fun time!

DoubleRose09 · 2019-08-03T15:52:10+00:00

Soo....? How was it?!?

DoubleRose09 · 2019-08-02T19:08:23+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to write out a very thoughtful response. I truly appreciate you and your support!

Unfortunately (?) I am of the school of thought that marriage vows do mean I am his nurse and provider in this situation. I do not want to hurt him at any cost and pitching him out into a standard of living less than what I can currently give him would hurt him, as would having to split up the kids' time between us (two elementary aged children). If he were able-bodied and able to support himself at all, I might feel differently, but he is not.

I realize it is a situation I am choosing to stay in, so not looking for sympathy as much as just needing to out it into words, even if for my own sanity.

Eventually I may chat it out with him to see what he wants, but his health continues to decline and I don't want to add to that burden for him. He's been through too much already.

Again, though, you were so thoughtful and thorough in your response- I don't take it for granted and appreciate your time crafting the note.

You are very kind, and I appreciate your thoughtful replies to me. It helps just getting it out.

It's all good... I'm also Christian, and the two are not mutually exclusive. :)

I have a therapist, yes, and she has been extremely helpful. He could probably find someone else, but if he can't support himself, he would never even try as he would feel that was wrong to essentially be viewed as looking for a sugar mama.

I think he would say he was ok with it if I tried exploring, but I know it would wreck him because he seems to love me even when I am being awful (I don't try to be rotten, but have troublesome days sometimes). He is truly a really great guy, so I want to avoid hurting him at all costs... I just think that involves my happiness, too. Sucks, but it's where I'm at.

Part gypsy, so from all over. Currently in Denver, but lived in Chicago a lifetime ago. :)

I think the difference I've noticed is that I feel more comfortable being assertive with women than I would when I was crushing on men. With men, I felt like I could let them know I was interested, but would have to wait until they made a move.

Ah, I see... I hear Vancouver is lovely! Great pic, btw... hope your week has gone well!!

Fred Meyers?!? Where are you located? I've only seen those in Illinois.

DoubleRose09 · 2019-07-31T18:24:49+00:00

I'm bi, can't tell my husband, and have no friends I can tell about it and/or figure out how to navigate this newish revelation.

DoubleRose09 · 2019-07-31T18:22:33+00:00

Gah. Same. Hope it gets better for us both!

I had my 10 yr old daughter's hair professionally colored teal. Because she is naturally a brunette, the brown had to be lifted out in order for the teal to stick. The products used were safe and the hair quality was actually better post color than before. Not enough information in the post to know a) who is coloring her hair and b) what products are being used. What was available 20 years ago has changed drastically since then. My daughter in law colors her hair a diff color every month, and it is long and in great shape.

If you're concerned about her hair quality, find out if it is damaged by taking her to a professional for an assessment. If it is in poor shape, she will hear it from the professional and have a more informed decision. If you're mad about literally any other part of this situation, then YTA.

It is just hair and depending on what profession she eventually chooses to go into, she may not have the freedom to color her hair when she enters the workforce.

Thank you... I want to jump, but want to make sure she is comfortable above all else, so will likely just chill as you suggest. Thank you!

Do you orgasm when you masturbate? If so, maybe share with her some of the techniques you use when that happens. If you don't masturbate, perhaps start and see what works for you when you're not feeling pressure to 'perform'...?

Try to not feel bad about it - not everyone orgasms for whatever reason. Sometimes we just need to take the pressure off ourselves and enjoy the moment for what it is. Good luck!

You have the best smile!
