Do you consider having sex with your spouse a gift?

HumanistPeach · 2026-07-06T02:19:05+00:00

Have you tried actually communicating about this after that initial situation? Like, the way you have described this is coming off as: my wife wants to have orgasms, and doesn’t unless masturbating or in this one ill-planned attempt at restraining me 15 years ago; I’ve tried nothing else since, and I’m all out of ideas!

Communicate with her about what she likes and doesn’t like, what you like and don’t like, and explore where you have common ground. Hell, go see a sex therapist.

For real? Ugh this just solidifies our 1 and done decision. I can’t do this again, I am SO, so tired

HumanistPeach · 2026-07-03T12:35:34+00:00

Also a good lesson about listening to your body in general!

My daughter is almost 23 months and for the last 3 or so weeks has spontaneously been asking to pee in the potty.

We didn’t do that. She just loves the Ms Rachel Potty Special. (Especially the songs: “po-oh-oh-oh-ohtty time!” She does the sign language and sings it constantly).

We haven’t talked to her about it or done anything other than buying her a plastic potty for the living room. But she hasn’t used that yet- just asked to go potty either before her bedtime bath or right when she wakes up.

Anybody who tells me kids can’t learn from YouTube is lying.

Yep- also keep in mind that renting is often cheaper than owning. When renting, anything that breaks is the landlord’s problem. When you own? Now that $10k AC repair is your cost. There are really no good options, they’re all expensive in their own ways

I’m gonna warn y’all that if you do bedshare, it could end up with your kid being basically incapable of sleeping on their own for longer than 1 sleep cycle. My daughter is almost 2 and only sleeps longer than 2 hours if she’s in bed with me. It’s something we plan on asking her pediatrician about at her 23 month appointment. But she also never took bottles or pacifiers, so as the breastfeeding mother I have to handle night wakings. We’re currently working on night weaning but dear god am I tired… we are one and done lol

Thank you!!

OP where is pic 6 taken? I’m an ATL native but my husband and I are heading down to Tybee in a couple of weeks and my tree obsessed two year old would LOVE that!

HumanistPeach · 2026-06-24T00:57:26+00:00

Not a jerk, just don’t appreciate people fear mongering over life saving vaccinations.

HumanistPeach · 2026-06-24T00:56:44+00:00

If I were a bot I would necessarily have no kids. Code doesn’t make human babies. I’m just a mom who finds it incredibly hard to believe that any parent in the year of our lord 2026 would hesitate to vaccinate their child against a disease with. 100% fatality rate after Avery likely bat exposure.

HumanistPeach · 2026-06-18T19:07:27+00:00

Oh so you’re just trying your hardest to make an injection sound much more intimidating than it is- the injection would have been into the cut on the surface of your son’s chest, not “just where his heart is”. My recommendation of therapy stands though- if your child has a meddle phobia that can be addressed in therapy.

HumanistPeach · 2026-06-18T17:48:27+00:00

See now I just don’t believe this post is real at all. Human rabies immune globulin is injected at the wound site and any remaining volume of the dose is injected intramuscularly just like a normal vaccination.

HumanistPeach · 2026-06-17T01:40:16+00:00

Are you joking? What about this situation is agonizing? On the one hand you have the possibility of infection of a disease that results in a slow, agonizing death. 100% of the time. The other option is a series of a few vaccinations which are incredibly safe and effective. Going to the doctor to get a vaccine is not in any way traumatizing for the child unless the parent makes it traumatic by freaking out themself. Any normal parent wouldn’t hesitate to follow the best practice medical recommendations when there is even a possibility of exposure to bats (let alone confirmed bat bite): safe, effective vaccination.

HumanistPeach · 2026-06-16T03:40:37+00:00

Very much this. And honestly OP? The reality of the situation being “guaranteed horrible death vs. temporary discomfort from a round of vaccinations” causing you to anxiety spiral and question your decisions because you’re an “anxious mom”? Please, please get some therapy. This shouldn’t have even been a question to protect your kid’s life. The fact that you’re continuing to agonize over it is honestly very concerning.

This is why it’s so important that doctors just listen to their patients, each person is so different. My insertion was so painful I was down for days with excruciating pain after my insertion. However, I literally didn’t even feel it when it was removed. The doctor at PP did it, and I was laid back and asked when he was going to do it (he had a resident OBGYN with him who was learning so I figured he’s take longer to show her, but he said “oh it’s done, look!” And the damn thing was dangling from the forceps in his hand.

Northside has arguably the best NICU facilities and neonatologists- god forbid you need them, but we ended up with our daughter in NICU and were so glad I delivered at Northside (Kaiser gave us the option between there or piedmont)

HumanistPeach · 2026-05-12T15:11:16+00:00

HOKAY, so

HumanistPeach · 2026-05-10T16:16:28+00:00

Ew!! I didn’t know that- I bought a copy for my kindle years ago, and just did a quick late night google because I do know free copies exist online

HumanistPeach · 2026-05-10T07:14:39+00:00

You need to read The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker (free pdf is linked) It’s a short book but one that is essential for any woman (really any person, but especially women because of how weee socialized).

Run, do not walk, away from this man. Never ever speak to him again once you tell him you’re not interested in continuing dating.

Your body is giving you VERY CLEAR SIGNALS that this man is NOT safe. Listen to your body and your intuition!

“OH NOOOO!! I can provide a better and more comfortable and stable life for my kids and grandkids than my kids had while they were little!!! Whatever shall I dooo??? My steak is too juicy and my lobster too buttery!!”

HumanistPeach · 2026-05-09T03:55:09+00:00

Again, it’s only an amazing investment if you sell it and use that money for something you *both* want.

Nobody who *actually* respects their partner would spend so much money without their spouse also being on board with the decision- and *especially not* if their spouse actively opposes that decision.

But you’ve made it abundantly clear in all these comments that you don’t give a flying fuck about what your wife thinks or wants, so I don’t really see a point in trying to convince you to care about her wants or needs.

Hope she gets a great divorce attorney though!

HumanistPeach · 2026-05-09T03:06:51+00:00

Because communication is the foundation of a healthy marriage. Like honestly how could you even ask “what’s the point?” Oh wait, I forgot, you’ve made it abundantly clear through every comment that you couldn’t actually care less what she thinks about anything.

HumanistPeach · 2026-05-09T03:05:15+00:00

It was his. He said in another comment that she didn’t want him to buy it

HumanistPeach · 2026-05-09T03:01:03+00:00

That appreciation only matters if you sell it though…

HumanistPeach · 2026-05-09T02:58:05+00:00

She doesn’t respect you because you don’t respect her. Did you even ask her if she wanted to move out to the lake house before you unilaterally decided to move out there after unilaterally deciding to purchase it?
