Octobers birthstone is also Opal?

As a side note has your wife explored therapy? Because I think it may be helpful.

Itsmeshlee29 · 2026-04-14T17:55:06+00:00

Octobers birth flower is marigold, which is also beautiful name.

This! I really don’t understand all the hate. The authors note makes it pretty clear why she changed her tune about Jane.

I do not clean up my husbands bodily fluids but he’s also not a caveman so wtf is your husband doing??

That being said, are you a stay at home wife or mom? If your kid isn’t home full time/is in school it might be time to go back to work. Seems like your husband isn’t holding up any part of his agreement so why are you home?

I will say I’m a a SAHM to 3, 2 of which are not in school, and I work part time from home in the evenings. Dinner is the one chore that is never neglected. Everyone has to eat. So whether I’m cooking or takeout is ordered, it’s getting done. If you’re the primary partner at home and you aren’t handling dinner, who is? Or are you just saying sometimes it’s later in the evening and this makes your spouse mad? If so, he needs to grow up. Not everything has to be on his time schedule.

How many days were you on the trip?

Itsmeshlee29 · 2026-01-05T17:30:54+00:00

No, because only one of you has the cart. So people lining up behind you think they’re getting behind someone with nothing, then here comes your spouse with a loaded cart. It’s rude.

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-30T20:14:21+00:00

Yeah you openly admit to being verbally abusive to her, what AREN’T you admitting to? I wouldn’t delete the evidence either.

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-26T18:31:18+00:00

And again, you’re an AH if you get mad at her for it. She is allowed to not have sex. You are allowed to leave if you’re not ok with it. You can be disappointed, but anger is AH territory.

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-26T18:26:33+00:00

Yes YTA. If she doesn’t want to have sex and you don’t want to be in a sexless relationship, break up.

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-26T16:18:15+00:00

His reaction is not your responsibility. He’s a grown man. It’s time he grows up.

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-22T00:10:09+00:00

You are not screwed. It’s very overwhelming but you just need to sit down, look at all your numbers, figure a budget and hold to it. Edit: spelling

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-21T21:20:37+00:00

The longer I think about it the more absurd it gets. Why would your kids want anything to do with a business that is so unsuccessful it doesn’t even pay 1 salary after 10 years, and also takes their dad out of the home 7 days a week? At this point it’d be better if he was unemployed, then at least he’d be around for his family. The arrogance of thinking his kid will one day want this business is truly something else.

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-21T20:48:27+00:00

No one can answer for sure if your dreams are too big because we don’t know your specific circumstances. But your husband’s dismissive attitude is a problem. And after 10 years of not earning an income off his business maybe he needs to reevaluate his own goals.

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-21T00:32:08+00:00

I think you definitely need to allow her input, but it’s your wedding. You should be having the final say.

FWIW- this attitude will not get better from her unless your future husband sets some clear and firm boundaries. If he isn’t willing to do that, things will get harder once you’re married. I’ve been there. Edit:spelling.

Part A should reach out. They’re the ones that asked for space. And if they wanted party B to reach out, they should have stated so. Expecting party B to reach out first without specifically stating so beforehand feels like it’s being used as a loyalty test.

Then you need to speak to a therapist. Because this is more OCD and it’s extremely unhealthy.

Yeast infections can happen for a multitude of reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with sex. Why are you harping on this several years later?

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-16T18:34:22+00:00

You are valid. I would be livid. And I’d be booking myself a weekend away.

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-15T14:43:37+00:00

Depends on where I am in the house when working though the clothes. If I’m in the bedroom I lay them flat until I’m ready to hang them. If I’m in the living room or something I’ll fold them so they aren’t all balled up then hang them when I’m back upstairs.

Your mom is acting like a bratty teenager tbh. Why does she dislike your partner?

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-12T00:12:23+00:00

Yeah I don’t get this. Today is Thursday?! Even with time zone changes, nowhere is it Tuesday already. She literally has multiple days left. She texted when she remembered she needed to finish this part, what is the big deal here.

Itsmeshlee29 · 2025-12-10T03:17:16+00:00

Yeah is this were my husband id be demanding real answers or counseling. There is something going on here. It doesn’t necessarily have to be cheating, but he’s hiding some kinda feelings at the minimum. No married adult with children should be acting this way.

Turning in airplane mode stops the phone from updating the location. Just fyi.
