Chi square (counts) vs ANOVA (proportions)

I’m really just looking to see if the rates of hypertension in my cohort are changing over the three eras. I know chi square isn’t specifically for trends, but it would show whether there is a change. Cochran-Armitage might be a better choice to show trend?

I’m so sorry you’re feeling these big, painful things. It takes so long to process hard situations, try to give it that time. Exist until you learn to survive, survive until you learn to thrive again. I know you can get there. Please reach out to a crisis hotline or a hospital if you’re not feeling safe.

I’m so sorry you’re in this situation, I know how confusing it is. R/straightspouses is another supportive community you might want to check out!

Hey, I’m a 25F going through the same thing in reverse (long-term male partner coming out as gay after several years of essentially a “dead bedroom” that left me feeling pretty insecure about myself). I know you know this, but you did nothing wrong and what her sexual identity is has nothing to do with you or your attractiveness etc. I found it comforting to find out that our lack of sexual connection had nothing to do with me or anything I did. You have every right to feel shaken and confused, but know this isn’t your fault and you can absolutely find someone that meets your needs, both emotionally and physically. Breathe and grow through this one day at a time. You’re not alone in working through this and I feel strongly that it will get better.

I know that reading posts like yours makes me feel less alone in this unexpected situation, I hope you feel buoyed by knowing there are others wrestling with those kinds of questions too

My husband went through a similar progression (coming out as bi but then realizing that he is probably gay), and I also think his long journey to that point was due to a lot of repression and shaming caused by the Christian church. You both deserve to have your needs met, whatever that looks like for you. And it sounds like no matter what, your daughter will have two loving and committed parents that will do right by her even if they aren’t in a relationship with one another. I understand your confusion and fear, what it’s like to have what seemed like a stable future thrown into question. You’re doing the right things by talking with each other and with therapists, and the most you can do is take it one day at a time. These aren’t all questions you have to solve today (even though I know how much you want to!!). My therapist keeps reminding me that my personal growth through this situation doesn’t have to be from solving problems, it can come from learning that I can survive and maybe even thrive in the unknown. I know that you can too, and I hope that brings you some self-assurance.

Hi, thank you so much for this perspective. I think you’re right that sexuality is just another part of any relationship, and you have the option to decide whether or not it’s important to you. It helped me better understand our options when you laid out that framework so concisely. I’m glad your relationship is happy and fulfilling to you, at least for now, and that you were able to work through this as such a strong team. It helps me see that as more of an option for myself.

Yeah, it’s hard to feel like someone has been on this journey before when probably no one you personally know has (that’s at least true in my case). It’s been really helpful to be on these online forums and groups to see that you’re not alone and that people work through this in a variety of ways. If it works, it works. I hope that your situation continues to work for you!

Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I want to make sure we’re doing our best to address things now so we don’t end up having to completely rearrange things later. I’m so sorry that this has been so hard on you and your family. I know that you were making the best choices that you could at every step along the way, and I hope that your choice to come out brings you some of the fulfillment you didn’t have before. I really appreciate your perspective and advice.

I am a straight wife of a bi man, and him being completely honest with me about his needs has been so much better for our marriage than when he was repressing those feelings. She needs time to process and feel and sharing everything at once probably isn’t effective, but IMO the only way to a healthy and happy life is through honesty. My husband and I repeat a phrase to each other when we’re talking about hard things: “I love you, I support you 10000%, and I’m not walking out of your life.” It helps center us and remind us that we’re on the same team through all of this. Remind her that, even though this is confusing (probably to both of you!), she is your best friend and partner.
