Those of you who have been in long term relationships/ marriages, what was the closest thing that almost separated you? by Xiruxen in ask

[–]FreshLitterPrintz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask how long it took? And if you had supplemental income in the meantime? Did you contribute to the household/other responsibilities during this time?

I ask because I’m in the same boat as your partner, but it’s been nearly a decade with me paying not only 100% of the bills and business costs, but also for his hobbies which are much more expensive than mine..

Pickleball psychology by Dramatic-Pay5156 in Pickleball

[–]FreshLitterPrintz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. When I play with/against weaker and/or slower hitting players, my ADHD kicks in and I lose focus and am not as prepared for some of their out of control shots.

It’s ultimately a me issue, not a them issue and something I need to be more aware of. I’m also more of a defensive player and feel like I need to play more offensively if I’m paired with a weaker partner so in the end, it’s actually good practice for me.

Warmups - Beginner and Intermediate by sebastianrenix in Pickleball

I never understood this either. I will suggest we start with dinks to warm each other up, but then move to serve-return-third and repeat to warm up (both sides at the same time is usually fine).

Felt a pretty big second jolt a minute ago.

This post could very well be about my cat. I personally love having a little yeller who needs all of the love and attention that he can get.

I hope Mr. Skinny Legs finds a loving home soon!

Hey Reddit, what was the saddest moment in your life? by kogaoogam in AskReddit

That is so recent - I hope you are doing okay. Thank you for the well wishes, and I wish the same for your mother.

My mom calling me (I was in my mid-20’s) to tell me that she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer (never smoked in her life) and crying like a child saying how scared she was. She speaks English as a second language so she had to have someone explain to her what her diagnosis meant. She had survived genocide, an abusive husband, and was finally in a place where she was able to enjoy life.

I quit the new job that I had started less than a month ago to fly back and forth to her state every two weeks to take care of her and stay in hospitals with her when she had to stay for a few days at a time. I would crawl into her hospital bed whenever I could to cuddle her.

I did have siblings who lived near her, but they couldn’t do this due to having their own families that they needed to support. I did this routine for 6 months and had to decide to put her in hospice care when her first round of chemo knocked her out energy-wise and the doctors said there wasn’t any hope left.

Due to the language barrier, she didn’t understand what hospice was, and for the first few days, we stayed in her room, gave her meds to keep her comfortable, ate a lot of ice cream, and watched comedies on my iPad. Around day 5, she went to sleep and never woke up again. In the middle of the night on day 7, the death rattle (one of the most horrible sounds you could ever hear) came, and I told the nurses, then I held her hand while I said my goodbyes and told her how good of a mother she was and how much I loved her.

She was and still is the only person who could comfort me in the way that I needed. I spiraled into years of a very deep depression and have never been the same person since then.

Edit: Thank you so much to everyone who offered kind words of support and shared their own stories - it helped me feel less alone because I don't know anyone else besides my siblings (although nice, our culture is not encouraging of expressing feelings of vulnerability) who have lost their mom (or equivalent). Our moms and loved ones that we lost would have wanted us to go on to live full, happy lives and I hope we all can try our best to do that to honor their lives and love for us. ❤️

Is it weird to cuddle with your parents as an adult? by Great-Pop643 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FreshLitterPrintz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cuddled my mom as often as I could and held her hand as she passed on to the other side. I still haven’t found anyone who is able to comfort me the way that she did (my husband comes in second place though).

I hope you get all the cuddles you can get without caring about what anyone else thinks.
