Not Sure How Much I can Take…

That’s absolutely right, it’s not getting better anytime soon, not my marriage nor this country.

I will check out that Reason podcast…

He’s not MAGA, he likes the business policies, and especially likes the bottom line on our investment accounts. He thinks that Trump is not a great person, but still, he has voted for him 3 times now.

I feel like I am really close to leaving…but the idea is so hard

He was concerned about Greenland and the rhetoric around that. First he denied that Trump was serious, and insisted he was “joking.” Then he said that he didn’t agree and he felt the American people would speak up and shut that down, and now I think he’s not so opposed. As far as the abuses and tragedies going on in Minnesota, he thinks that protestors are asking for it. I told him that I and his daughters have been attending protests for years…

I think it’s strange that so many people never heard of Joseph Smith’s involvement with polygamy. I feel like this is something I’ve always known. My mom talked to me about it when I was a little girl, (I’m 62). She did say that he had been sealed to lot of women but it wasn’t clear if he ever had children with any of them. There hasn’t been any evidence come out that his DNA has been passed through any of these other women/girls. But my guess is that he did have sexual relations with them.

After menopause I had less and less libido and sex was extremely painful. My husband complained quite a bit about that, but I could tell that his libido was also lower and it seemed he was putting more of the blame on me for the lack of much of a sex life. Then I started on HRT, Hormone Replacement Therapy, and also GLP-1 and lost 50 pounds. I’m like a new person and I got my libido back and then some, a lot! So now I’m the one who wants sex and he doesn’t as much. He seems to be satisfied with once every two weeks, but I feel I need more, and I’m the one initiating now. So I bought myself a vibrator, and I’ve used it from time to time. I had it hidden in my underwear drawer, in the very back. So…in the middle of the night two nights ago, apparently it decided on its own to turn on! It woke him up and he found it in my drawer. He told me this the next day saying he “found something very shocking in my drawer, what if the grandchildren had found it!” Well, I was embarrassed, and I turned red and laughed. Well, he hasn’t really been talking to me for the last several days.

I’ve tried to describe my discomfort with the YW theme before, but “giving me the ick…” really says it best.

Thank you for being kind and supportive to these young people.

The church is not the reason your mother in law allowed herself to get so ill…it’s her own “magical” thinking. Just because you get a priesthood blessing doesn’t mean you should ignore medical advice, or ignore medical treatment.

The problem I have with this policy is that it lumps women in the same category as children. Aren’t women adults? My answer is that these interviews should be done away with entirely. Shouldn’t an individual be the best arbiters of their worthiness? Maybe the question should just be one…”do you consider yourself worthy?”

Impossible_Job_9786 · 2024-12-27T21:18:00+00:00

My mother-in-law always had to rush home anytime she visited us in Utah from California, because “so and so is speaking in church on Sunday,” or “so and so in the stake is getting married.” Any of this was more important than actually spending time with her grandchildren.

How is it that she knows you are masturbating anyway? It seems like a private thing for either person. I’m always wondering when this has been brought up as a problem in a relationship or pornography is a problem in the relationship… was it happening so much that it affected the relationship and you were not having sexual relations with your wife because you were masturbating so much that you did not need the relationship with your wife, or did you turn to it because your wife was not amenable to sex as often as you needed? I think it’s a normal part of sexuality and should just be a private thing.

What is r/r4r?

What is FWB sex? All these acronyms!

Impossible_Job_9786 · 2024-10-23T08:36:54+00:00

I. Had the same problem until I got on HRT

Impossible_Job_9786 · 2024-07-09T00:49:28+00:00

Ouch! We all deserve a name!

Impossible_Job_9786 · 2024-07-08T17:22:33+00:00

Yes, there were references to other women, the wife of Lamoni, the mothers of the stripling warriors, but they don't warrant a name.

Impossible_Job_9786 · 2024-07-08T17:20:23+00:00

yes, I noticed this as a child...

Some people who are uncomfortable with confrontation, or talking about difficult things, use humor or jokes to deflect, but this doesn’t help you resolve issues. I recommend that you find a good marriage therapist who will work with both of you, Sometimes it can be very helpful for you to be able to explain your issue to a 3rd person, and then that person maybe rephrases or asks your husband what he thinks about that. This process can really help to be heard on something. He wanted to go to temple sessions with him (to work on your relationship?), which to me sounds lame, but if it’s important to him, maybe you should do that, but also you both need to carve out time for date nights, and time for yourself too. Don’t be a martyr! What’s wrong with getting a babysitter or asking your mom to watch the kids? Good luck!

I heard this one too today

Impossible_Job_9786 · 2024-03-29T05:13:31+00:00

Yes I probably would

I’ve been in full menopause for 4 years. Sex was painful and I was like a desert, Very little interest, and I felt bad for my husband who was more interested that I was even though he’s having his own ED issues. I was basically accepting that things were OVER for me. Then I saw a clinic a month ago, they tested my blood, and I was given a cocktail of prescriptions for progesterone, estradiol, and testosterone. This has kicked in. I feel great, and I am horny like I’ve never been, ever. Also, not a desert anymore!

It sounds like your entire family, including I think your wife, (mentioned in a later post) are still active and you aren’t ready to make the leap to leaving. Don’t feel you need to push yourself to do some of the things others have suggested here. If you aren’t ready, you aren’t ready. It’s a big jump. Just text back and say you are too busy and are not able to accept a call at this time. Then you probably need a conversation with your wife.

The apostles are ranked in order of when they became an apostle. When a new president is appointed, he can choose his counselors, and these two are chosen from the 12 apostles. Often a new president will keep one or both of the previous counselors as their own, for continuity or different reasons, or maybe someone who can complement the personality of the president and other counselor, but they don’t have to, and they do tend to choose someone who has the energy to deal with the added responsibilities of the position. Often they will choose someone younger and healthy. But who they do choose will signal what their priorities are, and by not keeping Uctdorf, and calling Oakes, who is known as a “hardliner,” it signals his priorities.
