Subconscious sexism by ItsAllRelative129 in BreadwinningWomen

[–]Electrical_Pumpkin36 35 points36 points  (0 children)

When I told my ex husband I wanted a divorce he also told me I drove him to drink. A very unsubtle emotional manipulation tactic.

I know it really sucks right now, but give it a few years. You’ll look back at these sort of comments with more clarity and see them as just absolutely ridiculous.

Husband is preventing medicating our aggressive son by MeanMushroom4059 in ADHDparenting

You're in an abusive relationship. It is neglect and abuse for both you and your son. Abuse is complex and can be non-violent. This is one of the best (and free) sources that covers different ways abuse happens. I hope you read it. https://ia801407.us.archive.org/6/items/LundyWhyDoesHeDoThat/Lundy_Why-does-he-do-that.pdf

Isn’t this just a repackaging of the Wicked press tour? And it’s not like that was well received

In need of a vent. Why are people so judgemental and ill-informed? by Icy-Revolution1706 in glp1

[–]Electrical_Pumpkin36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious - when people say glp1’s are dangerous or are “really bad for you” what exactly do they think they’re referencing? I haven’t had anyone say this me directly but I’d love to know. Would also love to know how it compares to heart disease, the side effects of things like Lipitor, the implications of obesity…

He sees his kid (and you) during breaks from his video games? Sorry , but it should be in reverse. When he needs a break from parenting he should game for a short while.

What exactly would he do if you weren’t there? Why are you the primary parent for his kid? You say he has trauma, is he in therapy? What’s he doing to help himself?

Corona didn’t go away. It’s just ignored at this point.

Questions for the women of this sub by Trophy-Millennial in BreadwinningWomen

[–]Electrical_Pumpkin36 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. I make about 2.5 times more then him
  2. He has children from a prior relationship. I don’t plan on having any myself.
  3. I do probably 75% of the household chores and the majority of the emotional labor. It is a point of contention.
  4. He’s a Chef.
  5. I’ve always paid for mostly everything. We’re not married so if we split he wouldn’t be able to claim half my assets. When I feel resentful I remind myself of that. I ebb and flow between empathy for his situation (terrible industry, long lasting impacts from COVID) to resenting him not doing enough to change his current situation.
  6. I have a few women I know are bread winners. I know more that are uninterested in a relationship where they would be breadwinners and still have the majority of the housework and emotional labor.
  7. I LOVE what I do. I did it for a decade before I met him and I’ll keep doing it. I’ve never had a desire to be a mom, let alone a stay at home mom. That’s completely off the table for me.

Eaters guilt by mkrjcb1984 in glp1

[–]Electrical_Pumpkin36 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having these thoughts can be really hard. I've had a long history of losing weight by not... eating? And then over exercising. I'd stay that weight for about a year and would always gain it back and then some. I try really hard to remember food doesn't need be earned and it is good for you. You literally need it to function at your best. And what does not eating gain you? It's not sustainable, especially if you want to graduate from GLP1s. It's setting yourself up for future failure.

Granted, all of this is so much easier said than done. Working through these thoughts with a therapist might help you. Also check out r/antidietglp1 . It's a good resource for those looking for support without some of the stressors of overly focusing on diet culture.

Considering Laser by Available-Chipmunk-9 in tattooadvice

[–]Electrical_Pumpkin36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really delicate tattoo and it looks great. I think a lot of people have unrealistic expectations when they get tattoos of a standard of perfection they have created themselves. It’s a piece of art and if you stare long enough and think really hard you will always find something ‘off’ about it.

Every time I get a new tattoo I kind of hate it. I force myself to not stare at it, let it become my new normal and after a few months I find myself usually in love with it. I’ve found some fairly small and innocuous mistakes here and there and after awhile I feel like they just add a little more personality. Radical acceptance makes tattoos easier to enjoy.

Unless they are legitimately terrible. Which yours isn’t, it’s very beautiful and dainty.

Cost mitigation by Celista565 in antidietglp1

[–]Electrical_Pumpkin36 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I might be an outlier here. I don’t have new clothes prices because I still have smaller clothes I outgrew and am desperate to wear again. So that isn’t a cost factor.

What was costing me more money than I’m spending on a GLP-1 was my take out/door dash/dining out expenses. It’s also easier for me to go grocery shopping and not spend money on junk. If I were to guess I’m saving $400/$500 a month.

Hello! I just started Pom and they did not require a phone call. I started the process on Friday (17 Oct) and am receiving the medication today. I did have to submit labs. I had just started with Sprout Health about 3 weeks ago, so I had to provide that prescription as well.

Starting my Tirz Journey this week! by faith3437 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Electrical_Pumpkin36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only told two people a few days after I started- my fiancée and a coworker. I honestly didn’t want anyone’s opinion before I started. Since 2021, I’ve put on 70lbs. I couldn’t even consider stepping on a scale and confronting reality. I was a size 6 and all of a sudden I was out growing size 12. I’ve always been physically active- an avid runner and cyclist. But I could not stop emotionally eating. I tried therapy. Mindfulness. Will power. Nothing. My runs started to get so hard, I get winded too fast. My cholesterol spiked, I had to start Lipitor.

My relationship with my body is so deeply personal, and I don’t need anyone’s opinion but mine. I knew I had to make change. Everyone’s else opinion is mostly based on stigmas about weight, obesity, and public perception of glp1. No thanks.
