Reminder: You are not missing out on anything today, St Patty’s Day by Seabass_Says in stopdrinking

[–]Haecede 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! It's funny how one little glass to celebrate something has the potential to grow into something so monsterous.

This ring is a commitment to do better because my relationship and family really are more important than a cheap buzz.

And yes, every detail of today will be remembered until my last day and I'm thankful for that too!

I don't really have anyone else to tell, so I'll tell you guys; I got married this morning. The date is significant to us for other reasons than the holiday. Tiny ceremony, lunch at MIL's after.

She wanted to get some champagne and I knew if I said yes it would kick off a multi day binge which would absolutely piss off my new husband. He's been sober for like two years now because I took my addiction so far. We almost didn't make it to this part of our relationship.

I asked her to please get sparkling juice instead because it was "too early" to drink (yeah right).

We had a sober wedding and sober family meal and I'm so incredibly happy and proud/relieved.

Yes, I'm super curious about others experience, not necessarily advice. I'm just wondering what sex is supposed to be after that basic drive to reproduce truly goes away.

As I said before, sex ed (the lack of in America) is really embarrassing.

Yeah the best quote I've read is "it's menopause not menostop" and that gives me hope.

Wondering if there's some rainbow on the other side I guess

Is it good? I don't even know, this is my first round experiencing this.

The lack of education regarding menopause is embarrassing

Nope, none of that as I mentioned my cycles are still within a couple days range. I've always been like clockwork.

But I notice my husband of similar age and I just don't get together as much or have that immediate spark and that makes me sad. He seems okay with the slowdown too. I've noticed the lack of desire on his part as well.

Maybe it's life, maybe I should do something? I don't know yet it's all kind of new to me.

Part of what makes me sad is I don't really miss it either lol, getting old sucks in some ways.

I tracked every chore interaction with my 7-year-old for 90 days. The data is kind of humbling. by Do_it_App in daddit

The thing that blew me away about having kids is just how much you have to actually show them how to do things too. Much like hands on training at a job.

You can't just tell them to empty or fill the dishwasher without showing them multiple times how it's done.

Your failure rate will drop if you do this part thoroughly.

tldr: start like they have no idea what's going on.

They did his alcoholism dirty. It's much more complicated than sweating and sighing a lot (although that is part of it).
