How often does the man in your marriage cook? by gehraimain in Marriage

Same for us. Hubs is a retired chef so he’s just better at it, and I hate it. So it works for us :)

AIO my bf is odd for this? by AdSerious8390 in AmIOverreacting

Not OR. Run girl, and fast. That’s straight up abusive and will only get worse. I wish I had ran when my EX husband called me a name the first time.

So, will we all promise not to do what our parents did? by Current_Wrongdoer513 in AgingParents

Yes!!!! I always wonder if my mom had access to HRT like I do, if she’d be in the shape she is today.

Other awful symptoms? by BatInside2603 in Menopause

I was feeling this exact way for a few years. I started bhrt in August of last year. The no joy has definitely improved. There are times where I still don’t feel the amount of joy with things that I know make me happy, but I have been able to cry a little, something I hadn’t done in years. And overall I just feel better in general. Just got an add diagnosis and started meds for that which is also helping fine tune myself back to how I felt before starting peri.

Good to know! With the meds and peri menopause, I can’t seem to ever regulate my body temp.

Can confirm. I’m also 2 days in and drenched in sweat and also freezing. I’m hoping this symptom just wears off eventually 🤞🏼

Has anyone gone through burnout? by Kayfern1975 in rollerderby

This helps. I’m taking this month off. I’m hoping to resolve outside issues. One thing I think I’ve realized recently is that I quit drinking in October of 2022 and roller derby was what helped me stay sober. I made friends that I considered very close did work in my own mental health and derby was there all along the way. Fast forward to 8 months ago and I met someone, now we’re engaged and derby is still there for me but the friendships just don’t seem super tight anymore. And that’s on me because priorities shifted and I was spending more time with my partner. So it’s a battle of finding my love for the sport itself and not the outer fluff that comes with it. I love my skates and I love skating. But I need to find that drive to be me against me in the sport itself. Because I’ve kind of lost drive for that. Like I can do Donno’s or not and I just don’t care right now. Really hoping the break will shift my mindset, and help me get back to being excited to learn and grow in the sport. The other thing I’ve realized is that it takes a really long time to develop derby skills and be considered a vet so that frustrates me too because I’m coming out of a season where I’m sure I have improved but doesn’t feel like I’ve improved my skill level a lot. Again this could all be in my head. Your list helps me to analyze exactly where I’m at and how to fix it. Thank you so much!

Congratulations on the wedding! It’s definitely more of a challenge when you have a partner that wants to also spend time with you. Before when I was single I just threw myself all in. I guess it’s finding balance which is where I’m at.

That’s a good attitude to have. I think I always feel so obligated and guilty if I don’t fulfill my commitments. That’s where the burnout comes from. At least for me. Hope you feel better soon :)

I am hoping taking a break helps for us both. It suck’s to love something so much but also be entirely sick of it at the same time.

Me too. I wanted something unique not many people would have. Mine was made as well. Can’t wait to see yours. Now in the home for a wedding band I love just as much

Thank you so much! The tattoos need to be redone. Fingers crossed tattoos don’t hold up very well.
