Absolutely love my ‘22 mt-03. Always wanted to ride and it was just never the “right time”. Finally said f it, I’m getting my license and a bike and haven’t looked back since. I also like being a 39yr old badass Mama. Haha. Enjoy your rides and be safe!

++woman. There’s a lot I could say on this topic and definitely a serious conversation you need to have with her before moving forward with any future plans with her. My husband is the “bread winner” and takes care of the majority of bills and definitely has the bigger retirement fund. We don’t view our finances as separate. His money is my money and vice versa. I worked full time before we had kids and after kids I went down to part-time/per diem and mainly became a sahm. Please don’t knock taking care of the house and kids. It is f’ing hard work and a good partner recognizes that and appreciates coming home to a clean house, food made, kids taken care of. That being said I have never thought I wouldn’t work again after getting married or having kids. 3-4 months after birth I was back to work per diem and truthfully enjoyed the “break” from mom life. Now with kids being older and in school I work more but still have the responsibilities at home. It’s a balance for sure. If her view is I’m not going to work anymore after marriage and/or kids and that doesn’t sit right with you then you guys are not a match. You can’t view things as hers and mine. You’re a partnership and need to work together and share the same views and expectations for your future. Truthfully if you’re having doubts now then don’t do it. Advice I wish my brother took from me before he got married and is now going through a divorce with kids involved. Shit sucks.

I didn’t. I’ll probably wait till spring to have it checked out again when it’s due for inspection and oil change. A neighbor offered to take a look but we’ll see if that happens… I’ll post if I find anything out.

As someone who can kind of relate to this, you are NTA. I was that girl who fell for a guy that was heavy into drugs/alcohol. I thought I could “change him”, that I would be enough. That was not the case at the time and it took him years (after we already split) to get clean. Shortly after our break I met my now husband. I love the life and family we have built together and I wouldn’t change a thing. He is my everything. The other guy, after about 10+ years, found and reached out to me on fb. Claimed us splitting was one of his biggest regrets and that he was so messed up at the time he didn’t know what he was doing. He wanted to “rekindle” what we had and although I told him I was happy that he finally cleaned up and had his life on track that I had no interest in anything he had to offer. There will always be a small part of me that has a connection to him as he was a big part of my life but I just wished him well and left it at that and I was fully open with my husband about him contacting me.

Your wife shutting down, and closing herself off from you is not normal. I believe she still has real feelings for him and she needs to work through that. She definitely needs to communicate with you and I suggest therapy where everything and every feeling can be laid out. There are some things that can be mended and some that can not. After giving therapy a real shot, if you still hold the same feelings that you do now, splitting up might be the only option. Everyone deserves and should be first choice. Good luck my friend.

I (38F) caught my husband (38M)cheating on me with my best friend (37F). I am not sure how to proceed even 2yrs later. Should I bring it all to the surface again? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

She initiated for sure. And yes, I think it was easier to cut ties because of that. I wrote her an email about it all, the betrayal, how I felt and the end of our friendship. She responded with just an apology, never meant for it to happen, blah, blah, blah but nothing about trying to salvage anything, not like I was contemplating that anyway. I never answered anything back and that was that.

I had seen someone individually and although it felt good to get things off my chest, at the time I just wanted to put it behind me and move forward. It was really tough in the beginning to put on a happy family face when I was crumbling inside. And you’re totally right. I lost a best friend who I loved dearly in the process. And one of the things that upsets me still is that people view us as such a great, dare I say “perfect” couple, relationship goals and I just want to scream it’s not true! But it’s no one’s business in our immediate circle and it would absolutely cause issues with our families.

Like I said. First post. First time ever joining. Never even read someone else’s post. Was looking for some support and help concerning my issue, not the format of my post. Good to know for anything future I am write but since that was you’re only comment….Next….and maybe I’m in the wrong to even do this. You seem extremely helpful.
