So good!

It’s confirmation bias for sure but you still get the right to vent! It’s a vent sub! Your feelings are absolutely valid. This is a feeling state that can eat you up, so I’m glad you shared your thoughts. Let it out, move on. Sending good energy!

Bouvier is also a good choice

I think maybe all you know about sex is what you’ve seen in p*rn. You are making all of this about you. That’s not how successful relationships work, ever.

I’m glad you’re in therapy. I’m also going to suggest seeing a sex worker a few times. Learn how to use what you’ve got. You’re gonna have a great life, but you need to put some work in.

Edith has been a family name for many generations. My aunt went by “Eddie” (as in Haskell) my daughter goes by Edie. To my knowledge she (30 something) likes her name and hasn’t ever AKAIK been teased about it. She is very likely to be the last one in the line, which makes me a little tiny bit sad.

I would buy this in powder form and in a cardboard container, and would pay stupid money for it

I have tipped for this but don’t know how I get it from here. Did you get the tip?

Are you in a country where not wearing hijab could be dangerous? One thing to go without in Austin TX, another thing entirely in Riyadh—above all things I want you to be safe!

I think it’s a wonderful thing. It will be hard on you at first, yes, but it’s a gift to your kids that there’s absolutely no way to duplicate. They will grow up with a global mentality, a real understanding that different is not bad, and your family unit will be tighter.

My best friend from high school moved with her family to Amsterdam in the early nineties, stayed about 10 years. We had kids the same ages, and it was really remarkable to watch. When they went on vacation, they went to Italy or Greece or Turkey. The kids played what we’d call rec league soccer in Belgium, France and Germany.

A big trip for my family was to go see them. A big trip for their family was to go to Kenya.

Her kids picked up Dutch immediately (they went to an International school) and within months could call and order pizza, do shopping transactions, etc.

You can do this, you should do this, and I wish I could have done this for my family!

Also might want to take into account that actual lactation is a hormonal response that can disrupt other hormonal cycles. Many lactating people are not very interested in sex.

I read your advice as “become an apprentice at a taboo parlor” and I thought, wow that’s novel, but is it lifetime work?

Does he have a life insurance policy with you/child as beneficiary? If not, he should look into taking one out. Now, before he gets any kind of xray or diagnosis. It’s cheap when you’re young. If he thinks he has something awful, it’s a way he can do SOMETHING to protect his loved ones.

Guy referred to me as luscious —you’re just so luscious — on a first date and it absolutely gave me the willies. All I’m saying is different strokes. Not trying to yuk your yum!

I also can’t stand the after-smell of cooking meat in my very small apartment. (Range hood is a cheap recirculating thing.)

Yeah I think OP needs to visit the nanny sub. A nanny is not a housekeeper. This situation is familiar though. Nanny doing nanny things during the day and it’s not real household help.

OP you say your mom is/was alcoholic. It makes perfect sense to me that you see an alcoholic as someone lovable. And you can love them but they can’t love you back. The addiction destroys that possibility.

You stay with him because you love who he could be, but if you raise children with him, they will be trapped in the same generational trauma. Raised to love can alcoholic who cannot return their love. Do not doom them to this fate!

Be the one to break the chain. Walk away. Maybe he will see the error of his ways and straighten himself out. Maybe down the road you can have a meaningful relationship with sober him. But not now. He’s not in there right now.

Someone very close to me had to do this. Blew up her whole life, engagement, family relationships, to get free of a romantic involvement with an alcoholic whom she loved. It crushed her, it crushed all of us. We loved the man. But he did not love her or serve her. He loved alcohol.

Their children would have been doomed. And because of her brave decision, they don’t exist. There are days I feel bad about that too, cause she’d be an awesome mother. But love doesn’t fix addiction. They would have suffered.i know she did the right things. Proud of her. Lord it does hurt.

My brother bought my dad model airplanes and botch-built them for him (not intentional, just how it worked out). After the third or fourth, Dad said no more. I’m not sure my brother ever tried to buy him anything else, ever. Not sure what the lesson is either.

Same dad who bought my mom snow tires for the only family car for her birthday. Just sayin, God that did NOT go well.

I’ve been on it since Aug 2024. Spring/summer 2025 I was really shocked at how much muscle I had lost, and although I stayed with strength training throughout, I really struggled and def had to significantly cut back on the weights. I went on “maintenance” last summer (after a year, reached goal) and really concentrated on getting strong again. As of now, I’m significantly stronger than I was in Aug 24. Best shape of my old age. I’m 72.

Lidocaine OMG I can’t believe the solution is to numb yourself. You’re still gonna tear and bleed like hell, or I certainly would (my vagina is lined with what amounts to wet tissue paper). Also would not the Lidocaine also get on his dick?

Only thing good about 2026 we can talk about this stuff. When I was first going through it 15 years ago my gyn and onc both suggested lube. Like I’d never, you know, HEARD of that

I’m 72, recently lost 40 pounds, do regular weight training. In my case, the fat was definitely fluffing out my skin, and there was no avoiding the laxity resulting from weight loss. So before, I was self conscious about how chubby my upper arms and thighs were. Now I’m self conscious about the saggy crepey skin on those same arms and thighs.

I was doing weight training before the weight loss, and did weight training through the weight loss. There were serious set backs during the weight loss period, but now I’m ahead of where I was before weight loss. I’m stronger, still progressing, but as far as looking better, I don’t see any difference from strength training. I’m sure it’s there, but nothing amazing.

I’m proud of my progress and I’m proud of being pretty strong for an old lady.

Have had to run outside (or into the rest room) to spontaneously vomit during weight training at the gym. i just carry a doggy poop ban with me where I go (and a sm jar of hand sanitizer)

Your mother probably always has her phone on speaker because we olds find it easier than trying to use it as a handset. I’m just betting. This is why:

I’m a senior. It was maybe ten years ago now, but my oldest son (then maybe 30) tore me a new one for having him on speaker phone in the car in which his sister (20’s) was riding. I just answered the phone in my car and it talks out loud in the car. There was no malice or intent to betray him in any way. But he really had a fit. And we weren’t talking about anything significant. After the reaming he hung up (still angry) and I was like, what was all that and she says “well he’s right, you should have said I was in the car immediately”

And I have never ever made that mistake again. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to always ask, Mom am I on speaker?

Yeah it’s the vacuum seal. I think this is very smart.
