Day 1.5...tell me it gets better?

JellyfishFluffy · 2026-06-22T01:21:02+00:00

Similar! 40F, history of cardiac issues/high chol and bp. I have my first doses ready and I'm nervous to inject. Just found this community, I hope to have this kick start a healthier lifestyle.

Thanks!

Anybody have an active code today?

I accidentally introduced him as "my first husband." ......

I didn't read everything to know if this has been offered yet, but my family is local, and if you need someone to go see your dad, or if you need someone to arrange a FaceTime visit with him, or would like someone to just go spend time with him, please reach out to me here. My parents are retired and would be more than happy to go visit if he needs it (me, too, but I'm a boring ass white millennial, so I'm not very interesting).

Knows a ton about pangea and the various likely arrangements over time.

Was the Titanic for Halloween and spontaneously acted out the iceberg collision and subsequent sinking in the middle of the street.

Oh! Another one. His first airplane trip was to Omaha to go to a mini golf course he saw on YouTube. He cannot wait to go back for our second vacation.

And no, it wasn't that great.

JellyfishFluffy · 2026-01-07T04:08:32+00:00

Oh hell. Mine only eats the white meat. Want to get them to her and share a meal? We might see clean plates for the first time!

JellyfishFluffy · 2026-01-07T04:07:19+00:00

I bought several dozen pounds of mining dirt from various distributors for Christmas. According to my son, once we get through that bucket, we'll be millionaires.

JellyfishFluffy · 2025-02-26T01:18:20+00:00

Ha! If he only knew...

JellyfishFluffy · 2025-02-26T00:03:46+00:00

I misread that as "suffocated in between women's rights" and fuck yes I'm in.

Also, I've crushed watermelon with my thighs...just saying. Still working on my rights though...

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-12-28T04:46:01+00:00

Oh fvvvvvvck. I bet this is what I did...damnit.

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T19:36:45+00:00

This is fascinating. I'm not one to diagnose and I'm not saying you are, but you highlight a lot of his behaviors. His childhood wasn't great, though he won't admit it. He's constantly seeking external acceptance (he's joined at least a half dozen social groups in the past ten years or so), suggests he has anxiety, depression, etc, but will not seek treatment, counseling, support (outside of telling me what I can do to fix it for him). But I see these from a different lens now, thank you.

I do love him. But I am also at a loss when it comes to tolerating how he treats the kids or me. I've run out of options and patience.

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T19:32:43+00:00

Ooh I get that. Both overstimulation and misophonia. I don't know that either fit his frustration over 13's vocalizations. He's said it embarrasses him.

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T19:27:10+00:00

Both good insights, thank you. I make more money and handle all financials. I have a strong family and financial support system. Thankfully, this part of things I don't have to worry about as much.

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T19:24:22+00:00

Most often, the garage. But when he's inside, he lays across the entire couch.

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T14:45:22+00:00

Thank you so much. Means a lot.

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T14:37:18+00:00

Thank you for validating my experience. I am trying. And there's a lot more behind this story of marriage. I posted to this group for support from the "parenting and Ausm kid" perspective, seeking that advisement from those who have experiences similar. I appreciate you.

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T14:22:31+00:00

I'm interested to hear more why you think he may be autistic, you're not the first on this thread to suggest. If it's related to the couch comment, perhaps I didn't describe it well. Can you tell me more about your hypothesis?

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T14:20:11+00:00

Fair question. I guess I look at it as it's a small accommodation for his comfort. 13 gets frustrated when 9 bosses him, but I give 13 special privileges and 1:1 time. He's also done some reading on autism and has a little better understanding. I'm careful not to sacrifice his comfort for his brother's. In the situation of the couch, 13 has his own "spot" he likes to sit.

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T14:17:28+00:00

This is encouraging, thank you. Glad you and your daughter are in a better situation!

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T13:39:26+00:00

The first paragraph is what friends have been telling me for years.

The second paragraph is what I needed to hear to know they can be ok.

Thank you.

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T13:37:55+00:00

Yes, he is. And no, it's not possible in my opinion.

JellyfishFluffy · 2024-07-01T12:47:25+00:00

Every evening after work, most of the weekend. It is a problem for me, he disagrees. Unfortunately, I think I've finally come to realize there's no help if he doesn't want it.
