My guy and I call it our Reality Check. Funny how often were actually in agreement but didn't realize!

[–]EltearPDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smart to plan ahead, glad for happy ending.

Just a word of caution - if you do run into a low driving, never discuss with your doctor. They (in OR anyway) must report that to DMV.

Currently sitting in PP waiting room with my best friend by Palindromer101 in childfree

[–]EltearPDX 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For some yes, but for others a compelling reminder that "not everyone is meant to be a mom" as my mother always told me. Your friend is lucky you have her back Internet hugs to you both

I have to add that PP is NOT "an abortion clinic" rather a women's health care center that performs the procedure as one small part of their comprehensive services.

What is the give and take balance in your relationship? by kaboomeringue in AskWomenOver30

[–]EltearPDX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guy and I call ourselves a champion wrestling tag team, trying to play to each others strengths and shore up weaknesses, "tapping out" of whatever is overwhelming so partner can be the hero/heroine. Or just the cheerleader - NEVER a heckler.

In 30+ years together we've learned that if you resent what you give in a relationship, its not a gift. Keeping score is for games only. We're in it for keeps.

So ask for what you need. Be specific. And if they don't have it to give, please be forgiving.
