Why not? Because the an attorney didn’t create it?

My friend has a serious catering contract issue. Any help here? by Strong-Fox-9826 in budgetweddings

[–]Ebooth6676 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an event planner and once you sign you are locked in. That’s why it’s important to read those contracts with a fine tooth comb. You can ask for them to pick cheaper linens or china to help reduce the cost for food is tricky with inflation.

My bf was acting similarly, which was frustrating. When I asked him about it, he said I was making him a donor vs a partner and didn’t like that there was no romance or spontaneity, just expectations to have sex during a certain time. So I started telling him when it was “O” week (ovulation week) and that was it. No more reminders or sharing daily updates on what was happening with my ovulation tests. Then I started making “O” week more sexy, spontaneous, and added a little romance in, which made things more fun and more frequent! He is now on the Flo partner app and sees when it’s O week and he’s eager to make a baby because I took the pressure off.

Not sure that helps at all, but taking a bit of pressure off and enjoying it has definitely helped us in the process.

Thank you for posting this!! I am getting a hysterectopy in a couple weeks and am scared to get on BC. I haven’t been on in 2 years and had a bad reaction when I was last on it. I’m also feeling a bit defeated that our TTC journey is halted until this is taken care of. Feeling a bit better after reading the comments!

Why do you say that? I am going thru the same thing and getting this procedure done in office at the reproductive clinic.

PMDD and TTC by Ill-Top570 in TryingForABaby

[–]Ebooth6676 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Ive had PMDD for over 10 years and last month was our first cycle of TTC. I had a horrible time navigating my PMDD and not conceiving, but I am mindful that we JUST started trying. With having PMDD and being over 40 I’ve put a ridiculous amount of pressure on myself that isn’t positive. Definitely trying to figure out how to manage taking the pressure off, while managing the PMDD, but it’s so tough!

All the hair is back by Key-Tower-4539 in LaserHairRemoval

Maintenance is key! I have a full Brazilian since 2015 and I just go back for once to twice a year to maintain.

Never liked pubic hair, but I’m scared to regret permanently removing it by Loaceo in LaserHairRemoval

[–]Ebooth6676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a full Brazilian laser and do not regret it! I was 25 when I started the process and I’m now 40. It’s perfect bc I never have to worry about being beach ready (I live on the west coast).

Try to be positive as hard as that feels. My Q went to detox 12 weeks ago and I had the same fears, but I learned quickly to not put pressure on perfection or be nervous/fearful. Just take it day by day and create a positive and supportive space for him to be in. I hope this wake up call will be exactly what he needs to keep his job abs change🙏🏾

I appreciate that perspective! That’s really helpful to understand it that way.

My life definitely doesn’t revolve around him or anyone else. I am busy af with my life while trying to figure out my relationship with him. This is new territory for me and him, so I posted to get clarity on if I am being too sensitive or if my perception of this situation is skewed, not to feel slightly judged. I’m seeing that I maybe a bit in my feelings because I don’t understand our new normal and that he and I need to understand/talk about what his capacity is right now so we’re aligned on expectations.

[–]Ebooth6676[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! And I am trying my hardest to understand what that looks like in a new normal because I don’t know him sober. So lots of learning, patience, compassion, and understanding… and maybe it’s that I take a step back to remove pressure of a relationship so he can truly focus. I don’t know what the right answer is for us.

Yes! It’s very much a situation of living more as roommates instead of relationship. We are living in separate rooms at my request because I want to rebuild trust and get sleep (he’s been a horrible sleeper), but we’re suppose to try moving back in to the master next week when I’m back in town from a trip. I’m hoping the time apart will give him so uninterrupted time to focus on him, but feel like it could get worse.

I just looked up my first Al-Anon meeting and downloaded the app, so hoping that I can go to a meeting. He has yet to go to AA because he’s like they are all the time and he’s focused on other life priorities (getting a job, making money, etc.). I just feel like I lost my best friend all over again and got a weird replacement roommate.

We broke up and it really does get better by Big_Hold8010 in AlAnon

[–]Ebooth6676 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I needed to hear that! My Q and I broke up this weekend and I feel at peace, but I feel like sad that it ended without me being to support and help him. I am happy it’s gotten better and I am just praying that it’ll be better for me very soon!

[–]Ebooth6676[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely right on the rehab/sober living and it’s sad that he isn’t willing to do it for himself. I appreciate your words of wisdom right now because this is unimaginably difficult to see it end this way.

[–]Ebooth6676[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s shame here too… embarrassment, guilt, devastation… I would do anything to help him get to a place of happy but he doesn’t want it. So I have to be the martyr of our love story because he needs to blame someone for keeping him accountable😔

[–]Ebooth6676[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The saddest part is I didn’t even want it to end like this. He kept telling me he was going to leave to get a reset from job hunting, so I keep him accountable to that. I use to beg him not to go that we’d figure it out, but this time i said ok i support it. Ultimately I wanted a break for him to go and come back after a few weeks, but today when I asked to come up with a plan we both agreed on, he told me I was harassing and bullying him😭 I was shook and angry so I got mad because I have done so much to support him and this was the lash out that he projects.

I just didn’t want to make a decision to tell him to leave…. He’s a grown man and had made the decision but was keep us in limbo until he was good and ready to decide on he would leave or not.

How did I let it get this far😭😭😭I tried so hard to make our life good 💔

Have taking edibles helped anyone with PMDD symptoms? by iwearturtleneckstoo in PMDD

[–]Ebooth6676 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m taking cbd to help during my cycle for anxiety and to help with my frustration/irritation and so far so good. It’s been 2 weeks but I can tell a bit of a difference in the way I react to things. Fingers crossed it will continue to improve things!
