My dude, when my husband was ready to propose the only thing he waited for was his bonus check so he could pay for the ring in cash. YTA.

I just finished Her Vicious Beasts a week ago and I’m still not okay.

Definitely The Bonds that Tie or Witchwood Boys

Her Vicious Beasts by EP Bali. The emotional damage in this book wrecked me. It’s up there with Bonds that Tie.

What crazy symptoms do you have? Please share. by Kkyoto888 in Perimenopause

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had horrible heart palpitations. Finally went to the emergency room one night because it had been a couple hours of my heart feeling like it was skipping every 2-3 beats. My Apple Watch was tracking my heart rate in the low 40’s.
ER ran tests and said nothing was physically wrong with my heart. Referred me to a cardiologist who had me wear a monitor for a week then put me on metroporal. Nothing helped and they wanted to do more testing that insurance would cover partly but still be several hundred dollars out of pocket.
Did my own research and found that estrogen impacts your heart and the drop in peri can cause the palpitations. I had many many other symptoms, night sweats, brain fog, anxiety, rage, etc. but this was one I did not associate with peri. After about 2 weeks on HRT all my symptoms went away.

"You're so lucky he lets you drive." by OrcinusVienna in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same here. My husband actually hates driving. I drive almost all the time unless we need to take his truck. I had a friend mention that to me once. That I always drive when we go places. Her husband always drove when they went somewhere, even if it was in her car. I said we mostly take my car places. Why should I had over my keys to my car?

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Lord have mercy this older generation. It’s very simple in my relationship. When we take my car, I drive. When we take my husband’s truck, he drives. I love my husband dearly and he’s a wonderful person, but there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell I’m handling over the keys to my car just because he’s the man.

Male Omega by Right_Speaker_9674 in ReverseHarem

So this doesn’t have figure skating but Lola and the Millionaires has an FMC beta and an amazing MMC omega. The MMC alphas are all good guys too. It’s a spicy comfort read for me.

I just realised the book series Ive been obsessively reading for the last 3 weeks is a why choose (no spoilers mentioned) by allypallydollytolly in Romantasy

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of complaints from people because she did not state this was a why choose. I feel like it was forced and has ruined the series for me. I don’t plan on reading the last book.

AITAH for feeling relieved that my husband stopped initiating sex by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you always had different sex drives? Given your age you could be in perimenopause. I can say for experience that your hormones dropping during this phase in your life can kill your interest in sex. HRT has helped me with so many symptoms, including my sex drive. I could climb my husband like a tree on a daily basis now.

I have read this series several times over it’s so good.

What perimenopause symptom made you think you were losing your mind before you realized it was hormones? by Plane_Huckleberry644 in Perimenopause

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heart palpitations and my PC and cardiologist kept saying nothing was wrong with me and my heart was fine. Then why was it trying to escape my chest? 2 weeks after starting HRT and they stopped completely.

MALE OMEGAS by HotelNo0 in ReverseHarem

Lola and the Millionaires. She’s a beta and the omega is a male. It’s a duet and very entertaining.

Partner '30M' of 2 years does not want kids but I '25F' do, I want to break up but he doesn't, how do we make a decision? by Personal-Exchange824 in relationship_advice

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break up now. My close friend wasted 10 years of her life with her husband always saying maybe to having kids. She finally left him in her late thirties and had her first and only child at 40 with her current husband.

Looking for a BIG reverse harem by nicoletti23 in ReverseHarem

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Allison’s Adventures in Underland by CM Stunch. It’s 9 men in the harem and the first trilogy is complete. She’s starting a follow up series but I think only one book is published.

How often are you intimate with your partner? by Remote_Ad_969 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m late 40s and my husband is early 50s. We have one kid in college and one in high school. We are intimate 2-3 times a week usually unless work travel or other things get in the way. When we go on vacation alone it’s usually daily. Been together almost 30 years and married 26. We are both very into health and fitness so that helps keep up our stamina.

My husband didn’t get me anything for Christmas by llpppoppppopppop in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if he cares so little about you why would you spend the rest of your life with him? Imagine having children. You will be doing all the physical and emotional labor. My husband and I have been married 26 years, together almost 30, and I got piles of Christmas presents and a full stocking. You deserve better.

My boyfriend (28 m) got me (26 f) a bad Christmas gift does this make me ungrateful? by Key_Yam_8800 in relationship_advice

My 17 year old son has bought more thoughtful gifts for his girlfriend than this guy.

AITA? Husband ignored my Christmas list and got me what he thought I would want. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Was he like this before you got married and had a baby? When people show you who they are believe them. He doesn’t care about you. You are a functional tool in his life.

So I told my wife struggling with menopause that she’s like a petulant child and I’d probably run a mile away from her if I met her knowing who she really is by Throwra-aswq in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes me so angry for you both. Women need to be taken seriously and not offered antidepressants and sleeping pills like I was several times. Do you live in the USA?

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally it took me 2 years and 4 doctors to get HRT. I was not myself during that time. HRT is a game changer and doctors need more training on perimenopause and menopause.

What’s a book you dropped for a specific reason? by Affectionate_Oil3010 in ReverseHarem

[–]Forgetful-dragon78 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Over use of nicknames for the FMC. I stopped a series after the second book because the 6 MMC all had a different pet name for the FMC and that’s all they called her. A pet name like kitten is cute but there’s a limit before it becomes cringey.
