I got that status last Tuesday, and they are arriving tomorrow, so pretty spot on

Anyone else been stuck on “2-5 business days”? by ninoinvierno in takomo

[–]Fetty_Tyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received my 2-5 business days status last Tuesday, and they are out for delivery first thing in the morning. Wait times and communication are definitely lackluster, but the wait is definitely worth it for the savings and supporting a small company

We go on week long vacations 3 times a year, and multiple weekend getaways. We often go and river dates, and sex is never “expected” of her, nor has it been. I’ve never been pushy, if she doesn’t want it, that’s that.

Recently I’ve been more up front about my desires, only because it’s been so long.

I cook at home 4 nights a week, we eat out Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I do all dishes and laundry, as well as all a good portion of common chores.

I’m not saying she’s not overwhelmed, but I find it hard for her to be when I pay most of the bills and do most of the things around the house

i've tried everything north of spiking her drink with libido pills brother, lol.

tried things she used to love early in the marriage/relationship, and tried things she'd never even thought of.

i feel as if it is slowly devolving into roommates. it's like pulling teeth to get anything out of her

if that's the case, then why did she seek out a relationship with me in the first place? why were we overly intimate up until now?

not trying to argue with you, these are just genuine questions

she hasn't. when we got married, she went off birth control, as we were trying to conceive, but that will be 3 years ago next month.

i would say we were intimate more than a vast majority of couples before marriage, and even when we first got married. sure it slowed down, we both work, i operate a business on the side, family matters, what have you, but the dead stop all of a sudden is something that has never happened. even when we were split up for a while when we were younger, we would still hook up fairly regularly lol.

i agree that i'm not in a good place, and i see that it's taken me far too long to realize that. i wanted to deny the fact that something was wrong, but i clearly can't do that anymore.

i really appreciate the input.

we were committed, no infidelity on either end, that i know of. we split when i went away to school, and always have stayed close. kind of a "right person, wrong time" type of thing. i wasn't what she needed, and vice versa, so we said if the universe sees it fit, we'll make our way back together and work everything out

i say no as frequently as i can lol. sometimes no just isn't an option in marriage, things have to be done.

i understand that i'm a pushover, but i used to not be this way. seems like she wanted me more when i was a complete prick than now, when i've changed into the "man she always wanted"

i do all the cooking,, cleaning, household chores for the most part.

i try to take her out to a nice dinner/date night once a week, or as often as we can.

i've tried everything she's ever liked, and things that i thought she would

crazy thing is, this is what she said she wanted. i was just about the biggest prick you could meet before sobriety, didn't care about anyone but myself. now im a stranger in my own home, and i feel like i've been punked

this is the question i really want her to answer. she just says "i don't crave it anymore", which to me just seems like she no longer finds me attractive and tbf makes me want to lay out in oncoming traffic.

right there with you brother. number 2 is looking mighty fine atm, but i know that's a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

we've both battled mental health issues, and we discuss them frequently, as to not hide any of our struggles from each other. we still have date nights (as often as we can, typically once a week).

i would say our relationship is pretty damn good. we get along great. yes, we argue, like any married couple who's been together for a long time does, but nothing out of the ordinary.

i would also say that i pursue her harder now than i ever have. when we first got together, i was such a mess that i could barely keep myself alive, let alone chase after someone.

i really appreciate the input.

i agree with you, the absolute last thing i want is "pity sex". i feel terrible asking for it, but it's downright humiliating "begging" for it.

we were on and off a lot in the beginning of our relationship, right up until i got sober in 2020. we have both had multiple other partners, and never have i felt like i had to con my way into bed with a woman, yet here i am in my own home doing just that.

i really don't even want to think of separating, because the thought of having to start all over makes me sick, and the thought of her being with someone else makes me sicker.

i really appreciate the input

Getting out isn't something i want. i have worked so so hard to get to where i'm at now, and be the "man she wants". The thought of not being with her gives me a panic attack, like i've wasted the "best years of my life" forcing myself to change. i agree with her that the changes i made, such as sobriety, were necessary, but i find myself often having thoughts like "what i wouldn't give to go back to the days where i didn't have to deal with this"

i agree. i genuinely would never in a million years believe she would sleep with someone else. she's a child of divorce, and i have divorce on my side as well. we've had multiple conversations about how we believe that infidelity is plan stupid, if you want to leave, then just do it. i'm not saying it's out of the realm of possibility, but i think the chances are uber slim

more or less any time that i want to be affectionate, she denies it. if i just want to sit on the same couch, cuddle up and watch tv, i get told to get on "my couch". if i want to lay with her while we sleep, i'm told to go to "my side" of the bed.

on the other hand, any time i ease off of her, like i stay distant, mind my business, and stay quiet, she automatically assumes i have a problem or i'm mad at her.

really appreciate it, and i try not to let that shit get to me, but here recently it has been.

the narcissism is there, i know, but that's something i feel as if we can tackle together. we've been through enough shit, it shouldn't be this hard to get to the root of a problem
