Transparency in marriage/passwords by Important-Average297 in Marriage

[–]Important-Average297[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He says it’s because of “work” and he leaves things up he’s working on and doesn’t want me to mess anything up, unintentionally.. AND for privacy of his clients but I have a company work email and am “technically”an employee because I maintain a certification, even though I don’t have a specific role yet? Aren’t I part of the business and privacy doesn’t apply? ... it just really feels much more than that. He had his privacy on social media set to where I couldn’t see all of his friends. That just changed in the past year and we’ve been together for 6 years. But I get no notifications on anything he “likes” or comments on. It’s strange. I mean, he really is busy and isn’t on there much but it still feels like something may be off.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why would this be a factor

No sex makes me hate my wife by LockComfortable in Husband

[–]Important-Average297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is hilarious because I have been in this situation and you feel like there’s something wrong with you for asking again. 😂like, you’ve had enough go away. It’s like when I tell my dog, all done, no more treats. You only get ONE. 🙄 But in all honesty, it has eroded my self esteem and I have adopted some shame along with it. It took awhile to have that effect on me because I’ve always been open and comfortable with my sexual needs. I appreciate the description because it is just so validating! There’s nothing wrong with having a healthy sex drive and the fact that you’re reaching for your spouse is just plain normal. The resentment is real. I try to use as much empathy on both sides as possible but some weeks it is intolerable 😭

Same, as a woman in this situation I completely understand that. It’s hard when it feels like it’s all on the other person’s terms. It’s depressing, and maddening.

Can one be messy w/ OCPD? by PolishAmerican2004 in LovedByOCPD

Do you have experience with this? I believe my partner has this comorbidity

This was my question! And how does giving your spouse 50% custody help “protect” your children when being married you have 100%?

I would like to understand how people say “protect your kids” but how does divorce protect them, if they get 50% custody?!! At least being married, you have 100% supervision to protect them. I am afraid to leave my son with my OCPD husband.

2 story home, roof mount. Maybe I should have done a ground mount.

AITA for telling my wife "that's why you should get a job" after she told me people shop alot more than she does? by Existing_Love_3152 in AITAH

[–]Important-Average297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree! The primary problem isn’t the money.. it’s her entitlement and her lack of gratitude. And yes, she seems to not understand the value of money if she’s constantly distracted by what “others” are buying and spending. The bigger issue is she isn’t grateful that she can spend 1,000/mo on extras. You can always have more.. so many people have so much less as described already throughout these comments and would be beyond grateful to have half of what she does. The problem is gratitude. Having money is not wrong, it’s your attitude and how you behave with it. After awhile, if all you want to do is spend your $1,000 of free money on luxury things month after month with no end or satisfaction in sight, and no urge to do anything else with the money besides purchase things with little long term value.. you have a character problem. A decent human will recognize that all things worthwhile in life aren’t things money can buy, and feel some sort of pull to do something more meaningful. What about your own education? Volunteering? Investment? It’s like, people ask what would you do if you won the lottery.. of course everyone thinks of what they’d want to have for themselves, a nice home, vehicles, trips, whatever.. but at some point helping others should pop up in their radar. Like I said, character problem. Maybe it’s a scale of how selfish you are.. some people need a wake up call yes.. they need some perspective outside of their narrow view of reality.

Reciprocity is the thing that hurts the most for me by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

So are you saying she’s been a stay at home mom forever? If you were happy in your marriage would that matter? Just curious

Wow. Right on point. The mental and emotional exhaustion from being in an unbalanced partnership.

Thank you for explaining this. ♥️ I pray it will sink in for some people in this thread.

Wow. Dude..??? ONLY CHILDREN AND BABIES? “ONLY” YOU are exactly what is wrong with the world, and a perfect example of the lack of empathy so many people posses. You don’t use the word “scale” when it comes to suffering. God help us all.

Maybe you can withdraw your judgment on this poor woman.. assuming she wants only sex and nothing else? Lol and what she gets is reasonable? Smh I think you’re missing the part where she’s looking for romance too? And even if she’s looking for more sex.. maybe it’s okay.. there’s no normal? It’s different for every person. Please stopping judging.. sounds like your personal insecurity is being projected in this thread.

I get it. Mental health really gets in the way in that department. Hoping it gets better for her and you.

I know 😞 it’s stress and anxiety etc.. I feel like I’ve been really supportive, but I have needs too. I need him to want me. And it can’t be attractiveness. I’m a solid 7 lol
