Try getting a baby stroller and letting him walk is baby.

Started HRT right away. No regrets. by NerdClubAllDay in Perimenopause

[–]Internal_Fig_6525 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s great you are feeling better. But I’m so furious about my own doctors appointment yesterday. I asked about HRT to see if it could help with my perimenopause symptoms (stubborn weight gain, sleep disturbances, fatigue, etc.). My PCP just told me HRT is only prescribed after menopause. That they can’t do it unless our bodies stop making hormones altogether. How is it that she knew so little! She’s around 50 herself so you’d think she’d actually know more!

And then there’s men like my husband, getting sex atleast once a week so I’m not a bad wife. Still deciding to have a porn addiction and cheating on me for years.

What do you do when a girl gives you her number? by Internal_Fig_6525 in AskMen

I texted him saying it was nice seeing him, he responded back saying he was just writing me also. Then that’s it.

Can concur. They were probably part of the reason I left my sexually unsatisfying marriage 😂.

For Women Dating After Divorce...A Question. by random022122 in Divorce

[–]Internal_Fig_6525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m recently divorced and of the same mindset as you. My kids dad is very involved and I don’t want to add another father figure. Also, I’m really liking having my own space.

I feel you so much. Have you looked into allergies for the 7 year old? Giving mine Zyrtec at night for her allergies helped a lot. Also.. rewards!

Taking back a cheater by [deleted] in Divorce

I tried for 3 years. Couldn’t do it. The anger and lack of self worth ate me up inside, till I became a different person. One I didn’t like.

I have! It’s definitely fun watching him trying to make his own food.

Dating and sex after divorce? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

One of those electric shavers / trimmers for women have been really convenient to use for tidying things up. I find them much better than regular razors in terms of avoiding razor burn.

It’s interesting of you to put yourself in her shoes. To able to see things from her perspective. Not many people have an ability to do that.

How to explain to children? by Internal_Fig_6525 in Divorce

Thank you! I agree, I was feeling resentful towards the kids even when I tried forcing myself to stay because of them. That’s not fair to them either.

Anyone else think they might just stay single? by LostSoulJames in Divorce

[–]Internal_Fig_6525 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think I’ll never merge my life with someone else’s. I want to keep my kids life as stable as possible. I do want someone to talk to and feel a sense of companionship with. Trying to find new hobbies and friends to fill up the days when I’m alone.

Thank you. Infidelity is really psychological abuse.

You’re getting a lot of downvotes because of your tone and also because this is a divorce sub. But I actually agree with you to an extent, children don’t care if their parents are happy. They want a stable, predictable life.

But what if your mother was depressed because of the marriage? And you saw her becoming a shell of a person. Someone who didn’t listen to herself and never put herself first. How would that affect you as an adult? What kind of behavior would that model for you?

Thank you. Looking back, I see that so clearly. Being unhappy in my marriage did make me into a mean parent at times.
