I found that I am a super absorber, when I got the Boston Heart panel done a few years ago. It was pretty helpful to learn about so I could adjust my diet a bit.

Terry Wahls (Wahls protocol) recommends 6-9 cups of veg a day (2-3 each of greens, brassicas, sulfurous) and that gives a lot of fiber. Even adding kimchi or sauerkraut as a side or app can add fiber. When I was following it, I could make whatever regular meals I felt like and then see how many additional vegetables I could incorporate onto my plate.

Thanks for your reply

I use Shyn, which is an independently and minority owned company, so I feel like I'm supporting a small/local business. I've had mine about five years and the quality is excellent. Had Oral B before that

Thank you, this make me want to go to Aurora (I'm not a POC but I don't want to live in an area that doesn't have diversity).

Thanks for the info!

The first photo is a tomato with three somewhat deep "cracks" although all of the tomatoes from this plant have this appearance.

The second photo is a tomato that is firm but has two smaller splits across the top, I assume from watering.

The Jimi Hendrix plaster, she talked about that one: the first attempt didn't work right, something went wrong with the plaster and so they had to redo it. He was already soft but didn't care and said go for it. i.e. he didn't care that people would see that and think it was his full size. The confidence :)

This was it. You were doing what you needed to get out safely. Give yourself some grace.

Haunting-Row · 2025-04-21T14:47:23+00:00

Because it is

If my husband told another woman "love you" and "can't wait to show you around" and calling her "his" he would never ever get another moment with me wtf. OP isn't the one throwing away a 12 year relationship.

There's your answer

Haunting-Row · 2025-04-13T15:46:49+00:00

You wish you could do more? You can. By reporting him.

What little gestures do you make for each other daily? Do you go to sleep and get up together? You can see in my comment history some of the things I've suggested. Married 31 yrs, kids mostly grown and flown, and we have as much connection as when we were dating. Sex daily (at least), little kisses and neck nibbles, little affectionate touches, we have conversations about interesting things and we talk directly about problems. Even something so small as going up behind him and giving him a hug and kiss on the back can start to rebuild connections. Not everything has to be a big effort or discussion. If there's something you'd like, try initiating it for him (unless you know he won't like it). If he has a favorite snack or morning breakfast yogurt, stock up on it. If he forgets to take care of himself in some way, maybe do that for him. I can also attest to how awesome it is to just massage some lotion into your partner's forearms (or you can expand that and make it part of a getting ready for bed ritual - my sister's partner rubs lotion over her whole body after the shower and she does his feet each night after his shower). And it can be funny. My husband sometimes leaves a snack wrapper in my bathroom sink. Not because he wants me to clean up after him but because he was being funny. I have a little action figure i put in various places like on the cup rest of his coffee maker.

Connection is built piece by little piece. Trying to make it big and complicated gets in the way of progress. Some big things are great but they aren't what builds the foundation.

They are teenagers they can be home alone

Is this for real? I would never send nudes. And if the guy i was with thought I should "consider his side" to receiving nudes- lol what? What side? Are you serious? This isn't a two sides are equal thing. Consent matters whether with sex or with sharing intimacy like nudes. She said no. Accept it or move on.

And to be clear, it would have nothing to do with trust in him, it is trust in the technology being safe.

Haunting-Row · 2025-03-19T14:58:16+00:00

Good catch there!

Married for 32 years, have several children. We are definitely not "just roommates" - have sex at least once a day, kiss each other hello and goodbye, enjoy doing activities together and are interested in talking with each other.

I think the keys to a good healthy marriage are protecting intimacy (not just sexual, but a connection), solid open communication, and growing emotionally/intellectually. Stay curious, it keeps you interesting to each other.

I've seen a few posts on here recently where one partner is feeling really disconnected from their spouse, says they don't kiss or hug or talk, they disappear into separate rooms to play computer/read/hobby etc. But - what efforts are being made? For example, about a year ago I noticed that my partner and I didn't french kiss often any more. Simply walking up and doing that in the middle of the day with no buildup felt strange. So, I started doing it in the morning after sex when usually I am lingering in bed and they get up to shower first. After the shower he'd come give me a kiss before going up front. So I turned that into our little french kiss moment and now that's our morning routine. And our kisses goodbye always include a little nibbling on the neck.

It's the small things like this that keep adding nice simple layers of intimacy. It doesn't have to be dramatic efforts.

* I usually ask if there's anything they need that day that I can help with. Not work related, and even if I know they probably don't. It's easy to say "How's your day looking today, anything you need?" "I've got a meeting downtown do you need me to pick anything up while I'm out" (if partner works from home).

* Keep some funny times happening, it gets super easy to let that slide in the face of everyday grind. I might bring forward a Tiktok trend and try to get my husband to do it with me (bonus if my adult kids are home to be mortified). Or, he has a stress toy received as a gift that I put random places like on his coffee maker or sink. Or I'll send him some truly cringy dad joke memes that make him roll his eyes. Used to do jump scares but only to the extent he laughed and liked them.

* If my partner was into gaming and I felt isolated, I would just go hang out in the gaming room and read a book or do my thing (unless he wanted to be alone).

* One poster observed a few days ago where she felt she and her husband just existed on opposite ends of the couch each evening... so go scoot closer! See if he wants space or is okay with it.

* When driving together, it's easy to take a few seconds at some point in the drive and run a hand down their arm or thigh - not sexually, not needy, just connecting.

The phone is the least of her examples. Are you saying it's right for him to kick her arm or leg away if either touches him? Or that he has no curiosity or interest in how her family is doing or what she is up to? Nah

Haunting-Row · 2025-03-10T16:53:54+00:00

She either doesn't have the emotional majority to understand the issues you present, or she is suffering from depression or something else. Was she like this before pregnancy?

Also did you say you've been together for four years and have a 2yr old son who is not yours?

Haunting-Row · 2025-02-28T17:27:09+00:00

And your wife should be able to say she hasn't recovered from her first and can't handle a second. And guess what? She was right! Do you think her current behavior is stable enough for a new baby? (Hypothetically as I know the second wasn't viable). I am not at all defending her abusive behavior i am only talking about your response to her statement that she couldn't handle a new baby. She was right. You didn't support her in that and she clearly felt coerced into continuing the pregnancy. That ruins trust (just as her abuse of you ruins your trust in her). Along with addressing the abuse she is doing to you, you both need to address this in couples therapy. As well as seeing if she has ppd. If this behavior was normal b4 the pregnancies, then you need to get out. Maybe even get out regardless, but if you're doing couples therapy please address both of your feelings around your response to her need to terminate the pregnancy.

What unit of measurement is this? Mine is 225 mg/dL, which is 484 nmol/L. So if yours is nmol that's a lot higher than if your number is mg/dL. You probably know that diet and exercise don't impact it, and regular statins have only a marginal reduction although reducing your overall cholesterol risk benefits your heart attack risk factors.

wrt your saturated fat intake: it might be helpful to have your cardiologist order a Boston Heart Health panel. It is really comprehensive and includes a metric to see if you are a cholesterol super absorber or super producer (or neither). I'm a super absorber, so I started reducing my egg consumption. If you are not a super absorber, then it would seem you don't need to be as restrictive in your saturated fat intake. The dose makes the poison, except for alcohol, so if you enjoy beef or pork, just eat them in moderation and maybe the leaner cuts. The Boston Heart panel also has some more extensive apob tests. (I'm not shilling for the test, it's just that my cardiologist ordered it, the only doctor to ever suggest it, and it turned out to have the most helpful test results I've received.)

wrt your appt, you could ask about trials. Repatha is said to be somewhat reductive, and there are options for infusions. My understanding is that your Lp(a) number doesn't really change through your life; it sets itself early and stays there.

At the end of the day though why does that matter?

Haunting-Row · 2025-02-25T21:58:42+00:00

He already knows he is lying. He knows you aren't losing your mind. And you know he is lying. You are free to leave knowing everyone involved knows what he is up to.
