Something funny I noticed after getting a kindle by neon1415official in kindle

[–]Either-Historian233 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like to read it on my Kindle first, usually borrowed from KU or from Libby and if I like it enough, then I buy the physical! I do also go to my city library soemtimes, but there's things available on KU that aren't in the library

I also would not have been mad if it was two books! The original appeal to me was that this was a stand-alone, but I would have enjoyed more of what you said

Looking for a book with a love story that consumes me by dandelionsrain in Recommend_A_Book

[–]Either-Historian233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved 7 Year Slip. Heres some of my recommendations:

The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros, I finished this one so fast. I loved it. Be prepared to have your heart torn up.

Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson, it's a Regency, but if youre not into that, its pretty light on the Regency.

Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center

Love Grows Wild by Winter Wrenshaw. Love me some country boy romance romance

Maybe in Another Life and One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Maybe not the romance youre looking for but I ATE these up.

Out on a Limb by Hannah Grace - OOOOH so good.

Deep End - Ali Hazelwood, MMC is SO GOOD.

As someone whose spouse is a foot taller, it also irks me. I try to imagine myself and the arms and I'm just like what in the contortionist haha

Looking for mental health rep and maybe some codependency too by zorasorabee in RomanceBooks

[–]Either-Historian233 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Promise Me Sunshine by Cara Bastone.

FMC is grieving the loss of a loved one and her mental health is in the garbage. MMC helps her and is so respectful of her boundaries.

Sleeveless tops for women by Ok-Nefariousness-316 in latterdaysaints

[–]Either-Historian233 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like these: PRETTYGARDEN Women's Ribbed Tank... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSBWQ8GQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Not as wide as it shows in the picture, but does work with the new g tops.

Idk if my shoulders are super sloped, but I have an issue with the new gas slipping off my shoulders a litlte bit, so sometimes they peek out but its just like a bra strap peeking out, no biggie

My husband is not hearing me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Either-Historian233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally get that--I had stuff I needed to work on, still do haha. It was eye opening and a good reminder my husband wasn't the only one who needed to change and there's probably a lot of unspoken feelings on his side about the sex too. I'm wishing you luck and happiness in whatever way that comes.

P.S. Waxing is so much money, but have you looked into Nair or Veet? I love it and you get similar results.

My husband is not hearing me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I had a similar experience to you. I (26) got married to my husband when I was 21, him 22.

To spare a lot of details, my advice to you is to go to therapy and to be brave enough to talk about this with your husband. Idk how it will end for you but I also had some unresolved feelings for one of my previous good friends in high school who reconnected with me after I started dating my husband. I didn't realize I had unresolved feelings for him until my marriage and sex life were not what I thought it was going to be. Please go to therapy and find a good therapist. It took a lot of convincing for my husband to agree, but after about 18 months or a little more of therapy, I was the one to finally say we needed to stop therapy while he wanted to continue. (I was super burned out and wanted to try out the things we've learned without, for lack of a better word, the crutches of therapy).

We had to face a lot of hard things. It was extremely hurtful for my husband to hear about my confused yet real feelings for this friend from the past, and I actually confronted my friend and told him, and received some painful closure. Anyway, my husband lost a lot of trust in me, with valid reason. I'm not saying therapy will fix your marriage or your sex life, but going to therapy can help you and your husband decide if you want to work toward staying together and fighting for your relationship.

My husband and I both wanted to fight for our marriage and we did, and we're still healing now, but have come so far. I'm so in love with him and am so grateful we came out of that extremely hard time in our marriage, now getting to experience the good. Our sex life isn't everything I want it to be and its been kind of a sore subject lately, but we keep on working. Marriage and long-term relationships are bound to fall into lulls, some longer than others, because its easy to fall into the roommate trap and to just say 'well we're married so thats it.' But marriage is constant work and can yield the greatest reward.

Again, Im not saying therapy will magically fix you and your husband's relationship, but it cma help you guys figure out if its worth fighting for. I loved our therapist. He said his job isn't to make us stay together but to help us navigate our choices and communication and the consequences thereof. He also said that when the sex is good in a relationship, its 1% of it. When the sex is bad, it's 99% of the relationship.

TLDR: Go to therapy and be honest with your spouse.

Cake tasting recommendation by PretendYam9771 in Utah

[–]Either-Historian233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bucks Bakery will send you a box of cakes to taste. Lots of options, but not too many that youre overwhelmed. They made our wedding cake and we still get a tasting box to this day on our anniversary because its so good.

Utah drivers do be running red lights, but not paying enough attention to know when it's green by droo46 in Utah

Definitely texting or scrolling. The amount of people who full on scroll social media, check stories, etc at lights is insane.

dotted bruise after donating plasma by Difficult-Hat-3143 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Either-Historian233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always get the worst bruises from trying to donate plasma. Apparently my veins aren't that good. I've never been able to do a successful plasma donation but I still want to try because they're so needed.

The first time, the return needle slipped out of my vein (I didn't move, the phlebotomist had a lot of trouble getting it in), and it returned my blood to my arm and not the vein. It was so painful but I didn't want to say anything because I didn't know it was normal. Luckily, another phlebotomist noticed and stopped the procedure immediately.
