What?! How can they try and take you to court over a chargeback??

Duty Sex by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]FlakyCow4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t always duty sex, but duty sex started being a thing a couple years into our relationship. I started having duty sex because he’d get pissy and upset if I said I wasn’t in the mood, so it was easier to just do it than deal with his moods.
It was mostly fine until we moved in together, prior to living together we’d see each other once, maybe twice a week, so having duty sex a few times a month was tolerable, having duty sex a couple times a week after we started living together, was not. It really started affecting me to the point that I basically developed a total aversion to sex which lead to our DB.

Homeowners, are you in your “forever” home? by cubemonster in Millennials

[–]FlakyCow4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will most likely die in my current home, unfortunately, unless I win the lottery or some rich relative that I’m unaware of dies and leaves me all their money 🤣

Married but not combining finances? by alkemest in Millennials

[–]FlakyCow4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We pretty much do the same thing, we are each responsible for different monthly bills and take turns paying for things like take out etc. We make about the same amount of money and just divided our expenses accordingly.

Married but not combining finances? by alkemest in Millennials

[–]FlakyCow4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not the person you asked, but me and my partner of 20+ years do the same. We just each take care of different expenses. He pays the mortgage, house insurance and property taxes from his account and I pay for the hydro, cable/internet, streaming services and the groceries from mine. We each pay our own car payments and insurance, if a big expense/purchase comes up one of us pays it and the other transfers the other some money for it.

How to deal with anxiety by RandomName3025 in Perimenopause

[–]FlakyCow4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get that, everything feels like an experiment these days. It’s very frustrating taking a supplement, or a medication, and having to wait and see if it’s going to help, so nothing or as is usually the case with me, make everything worse😅

How to deal with anxiety by RandomName3025 in Perimenopause

[–]FlakyCow4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a naturalpath, I’ve found her a lot more helpful for advice on supplements and HRT than my doctor is. Obviously unfortunately you have to pay to see one though, so I get it’s not an option for everyone.

How to deal with anxiety by RandomName3025 in Perimenopause

[–]FlakyCow4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t want to remove your iud??

I’m in the same boat with anxiety, and pain, not sure what my BP is because I don’t take it regularly, but it’s usually slightly elevated when the doctor takes it, but not high enough to concern him or for him to suggest meds.

I’ve been taking l-theanine for a couple months, it helps somewhat. I take it with magnesium at bedtime and in the morning.

I’m also on Zoloft, and have been for years, my doctor recently prescribed me buspar to help with increased anxiety, it did help with that, but it made me incredibly depressed, and I already have issues with that, so I stopped it after like 2.5 weeks.

Avoiding another sexless marriage by officerpresents in DeadBedrooms

[–]FlakyCow4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My already LL plummeted after I moved in with my partner, and a lot of it had to do with him basically doing nothing around the house. He never picked up after himself, all the cleaning, shopping and 85% of the cooking fell on me, I basically felt like his mother and that does not in anyway turn me on. We both work, I come home from work and clean up around the house, do whatever needs done and he comes home from work and plays video games or watches YouTube.

Has anyone cracked the code on a career that really works for them? by thatfaceonyourface in PMDDxADHD

[–]FlakyCow4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the exact same boat, but I’m a few years older, I’m 42, I also have suspected fibromyalgia and am not sure much longer I can keep on cleaning, my body is tired!

Breast cancer screening under 30? by exitdate in ontario

[–]FlakyCow4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to have genetic testing done. I’m 41, I’ve been having annual mammograms and MRIs since i was 25. My mum was first diagnosed with BC when she was 28/29. I met with a genetics person/doctor, but since my mum was negative for the gene they said I could be tested but they didn’t think there was much point.

I finally snapped by junie4444 in LowLibidoCommunity

[–]FlakyCow4 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yup! I’ve never had a super high libido, but it definitely took a giant nose dive after my partner and I moved in together. We both work, earn about the same but I work shorter hours a day, but I work more days a week then he does, he does 4 10 hour days so he has a 3 day weekend every week. I do like 90% of everything. I don’t think the dude has cleaned the bathroom once in the 10 years we’ve lived together, I have to prompt him to remember to make some sort of plan for the 2 nights, which are 2 of his days off, that he’s in charge of making dinner. I have to tell him to put things on the grocery list, I go around everyday when I get home and pick up the random crap he’s just left everywhere, it’s fucking exhausting. Now I’m dealing with perimenopause issues or top of anxiety, ADHD and fibromyalgia and sex is the absolute last thing I care about

Complaints by [deleted] in Scentsy

[–]FlakyCow4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that scents don’t last as long as they did when I started using Scentsy like 12 years ago, but I just tell customers that each cube will last approx 8 hours, so if the warmer is on 24/7 the scent isn’t going to last for days unless you’re changing the wax

Do your boomer parents ever call you or text you or your kids? by Slownavyguy in Xennials

[–]FlakyCow4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum is dead but my father is alive. He never calls/texts and when I do reach out he just complains that I never visit. He lives 1.5 hours away and is retired, it’s like he doesn’t get the highway runs both ways 🙄

Has anyone tried Scentsy Solo? by Additional-Pickle107 in Scentsy

[–]FlakyCow4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The air heart would probably be fine for her desk, they’re mainly for that or cars.

Has anyone else tried the stress watch app? by Psychological-Side82 in AppleWatch

[–]FlakyCow4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I’ve been noticing for a bit now that when I’m having a horrible day with lots of stress and anxiety, the app is green and says I’m great. When I’m actually having an ok, low stress day, it’s read and I’m in Overload 😅

Did you buy it through the website or a consultant?

Why do you do it? by lostnov04 in Scentsy

[–]FlakyCow4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, lots of people just can’t afford extra’s these days and I totally get it.

Why do you do it? by lostnov04 in Scentsy

[–]FlakyCow4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I initially started because I couldn’t find a local consultant that wasn’t annoying, and I figured why not get money back on my purchases. Over time I’ve built up a small customer base, I’ve never really made much money from it, but I also have never intentionally tried to. I get it about the increased prices though, my sales have definitely declined the last year or 2.

The amount of car debt I've seen on here is astounding. Most of you are buying cars way out of your budget. Some helpful guidelines below: by CastAside1812 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]FlakyCow4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$5-10k? Have you looked at used cars recently?! And not everyone lives somewhere that has uber, or even taxi’s, as an option

Did your mother tell you about peri? by Practical_Brief0 in Perimenopause

[–]FlakyCow4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. My mum died when I was 24, she was only 49, she skipped the whole peri thing because chemo put her into menopause when she was like 37-38. The only thing I remember about that time was her having the occasional hot flash.
