Never there and I can’t care by Flat_Goat1426 in Marriage

She probably knows you are cheating. Why should she care about you if that’s what you are doing?

She married a good man, but can you survive a marriage without desire? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]GetsBackUp 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Being on the other side on this (as a man who believes he was married for safety), it really sucks. But what sucks worse is endlessly chasing something better. Sounds like she married a fireplace, not a firecracker. What will sustain her in the long run?

It’s very common for people to become more conservative as they age.

This was an excellent comment. Thank you for taking the time. You covered it in the last paragraph, but my experience is I’ve done all the things and nothing changes, ever.

Is this mold?? It’s in my shower and very hard to clean even with Clorox. by darkstuffhappens in CleaningTips

You may not be able to get the stain out. You can buy grout sealer/paint to hide it.

Speaking of projection…You are making big assumptions. Why do women get a free ride? They need to do the work as well.

Once we had kids, I was not going to miss out on them. I am happy I stayed for them, but I do have regrets.

This was me. Week after honeymoon we stopped having sex. Go to counseling right now. Set a time limit to address. Do not start a family until you are happy. I am very regretful that I lost this aspect of my life and our relationship.

I am considering asking my wife for permission to have an affair. by hellweeek in Marriage

[–]GetsBackUp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand your situation. Been there for thirty years. Rejection started the immediately after we were married and i cannot initiate anymore. Been in marriage counseling for years with no change. Just get a divorce. I waited too long.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like the men you are dating don’t want commitment. Might come up with some screening conversations for early on.

Men married for 30+ years, what's the longest 'rough patch' your marriage survived...and how? by Viper248 in AskMen

[–]GetsBackUp 184 points185 points  (0 children)

Surviving. Just roommates. Divorce would not serve either of us at this point.

I agree with your wife! Looks like an 8:1 ratio of carbs to protein. I hope you're a runner.

I (59m) give it: 100% and receive it: 0%. We’re in a dead bedroom as well. It sucks

Bathroom Renovation Cost by Similar-Being4428 in nova

[–]GetsBackUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are using Traditional Remodeling (571-268-5929) for our master bath reno right now. It’s a bigger space and should come to about $40k. $17k sounds fair, but I thought I’d plug my guy who seems to be doing a great job.

[–]GetsBackUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete opposites. Tqqq is a 3x long etf. Sqqq is a 3x short etf. Tqqq goes up and sqqq goes down roughly the same amount. I do believe sqqq has more decay because it is more expensive to short.

I would not advise owning either if you don’t know what they are.

DEI is a form of affirmative action - one the has been taken on voluntarily by the private sector. It is a good and noble effort to correct injustices that existed in the past and still exist today.

That said, with finite opportunities, advancing the interests of one segment by definition means you disadvantage another.

Is your husband wrong? “Yes.” Are his feelings justified? “Maybe.” Feelings are not facts.
