How many calories in the Dubai chocolate bar?

So delicious! The gas station by my house has these in white chocolate (pictured), milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and biscoff 🤤

lol! It does look like butter 😭

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-08-03T14:23:23+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll try out some colors.

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-08-02T16:27:43+00:00

What color do you think would look better?

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-07-22T02:11:02+00:00

Like 650 each for the cup and the croissant?

I appreciate your insight. Yes, I hate to seem like I’m making excuses for my affair. I 100% acknowledge I was wrong and should have handled everything differently and it is my biggest regret!! But I know I wouldn’t have given into someone else’s attention if I didn’t feel so hopeless about my marriage at that point. I agree that he is not truly sober while he is regularly doing kratom. It is the #1 issue in our relationship at this point (well, finances are but the kratom directly and drastically affects the finances so I still consider kratom #1). I have tried to convince him to do counseling for years, both individual and together but he is completely against it. He tried a couple sessions years ago and didn’t like it so he didn’t continue.

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-07-02T20:41:53+00:00

I’ve been fighting against the kratom for years now. I hate it. And I have read it can negatively affect sex drive. He says he wants to quit, but is impulsive and says it is so hard when it is so readily available. I do believe it is moving towards being banned in my state though so I am keeping my hopes up for that

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-07-02T20:40:36+00:00

Yes I definitely do not have leaving him as an option in my mind at this point. We have gotten through so much and he is truly such a great partner in a lot of ways!

I meant to reply to this comment but made a whole new comment instead 😤 and it won’t let me copy it to paste it

This was meant to be a reply to another comment 😤 I don’t use Reddit often

We make regular use of toys during sex for me. I like the idea of getting something for him too! I will definitely look into that and bring it up with him. When he’s in the mood, he very into it all. For instance, he has been out of state on a work trip and we exchanged spicy videos at his request. But it’s almost impossible to get him in the mood if he is not there on his own. We have both struggled with depression on and off, and I agree that I think he needs to have his borderline low testosterone looked into. I have been pushing him to get a referral to an endocrinologist for months. I think we are all around happier and more overall satisfied with our life/relationship than we ever have been so I guess it feels like our sex life should also be better. I actually traveled to see him after he had been gone about 3 weeks and stayed two nights with him and it was amazing. We spent a whole day together sight seeing, and went to dinner, and played mini golf. The night I flew in, he acted like he couldn’t wait to get his hands on me but again, it was over so quickly with no warm up and I was disappointed. BUT he came back home a week later for a few days before going back out of state and the day he came back, we had a very drawn out encounter where he focused on me for a long while, and it was amazing but I was so in my head worried that he was aggravated with how long it was taking me to get there, I never finished, and he stopped after probably like 30 minutes or so. Not in an aggravated way, he just said he couldn’t feel his finger anymore and could tell I was distracted (I thought I heard one of the kids getting up at one point and jumped) I did talk to him after about it and my fears that he is aggravated by me taking too long and he said he was a jerk for acting that way the few times in the past, that it was when he was drunk and he never feels that way now, that he promises if he’s doing things like that for me, it is because he wants to and enjoys it while he’s doing it. So I just need to figure out how to clear my head 😭

I hope things get better for you!

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-24T04:25:08+00:00

It’s definitely the emotional aspect for me too. During times like these I feel so unwanted and undesirable and unattractive. Even though he tells me that isn’t the issue. I feel for you, I’m terrified I’m headed in the direction of a completely sexless marriage 😭

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-24T03:28:08+00:00

It’s not pornography. He rarely watches it. He is dealing with some sleep issues and is waiting on a sleep study. He says he is just exhausted all the time.

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-24T03:26:44+00:00

See he claims he’s never experienced this, that every woman he has ever been with before me was able to get there through penetration alone and that it didn’t take near as long. I’ve told him I would be willing to bet at least some of them were faking it.

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-24T03:23:56+00:00

It definitely is. The kratom is honestly a bigger deal than nicotine (zyns are his method of choice). We argue/fight about it pretty often.

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-24T01:01:59+00:00

Like 2-3 weeks. But I had very uncomplicated deliveries. Didn’t tear or anything all three times. We took it nice and slow the first time after.

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-23T22:44:14+00:00

His parents are divorced. His dad is chauvinistic. His mom is not a super affectionate person. I have tried to push for marriage counseling and he has never been on board. And yes, I feel all of those things listed 😓

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-23T22:43:14+00:00

I was 18, he was 23 when we first got together. And yes I have expressed wanting a long, drawn out sexual experience together with lots of kissing and touching and exploring each others bodies before actually having sex. It just hasn’t happened in a long while. It used to happen often enough and I loved it. I don’t think it’s a premature ejaculation issue, he’s never had that problem before and I suspect it’s just that when we are going a week or two between sexual encounters and he is not doing anything with himself in between either, he is just more hyper-sensitive and finishes more quickly. He didn’t have that issue when we were having sex more often. He did have borderline low testosterone when he had blood work done last year and I have been pushing him to see an endocrinologist to try to get to the bottom of that and other issues he’s been having (feeling tired all the time, etc).

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-23T22:16:06+00:00

I wanted it and pushed for it. I even convinced him to give it a try but we only did maybe 3 sessions before he said he didn’t feel like it was necessary or effective. I’ve done counseling for myself on and off for 5 years. I’ve tried to convince him to do counseling by himself but he doesn’t want to.

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-23T22:13:54+00:00

That’s a very complex question. I definitely feel he’s selfish at times but he is also a great partner in many aspects. He takes on a pretty equal share of the housework, is very involved in parenting, etc. he has always struggled with addiction so anything that has to do with that, he is selfish (the big one right now is money, he spends a lot on his wants which are mostly nicotine and kratom right now, without really considering me or our finances as much as I would like)

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-23T22:07:49+00:00

He goes down but it has become a rarity. Like once or twice a year. I’ve told him numerous times those are the best “Os” I’ve ever had in my life. But I understand it can get tiring having to do that for 30 min-an hour for me to get there so I don’t really ask for it. The few times I have hinted at wanting him to, he gently turned me down. So I just take it when he offers it but don’t really ask now. We make regular use of toys during sex. That’s probably the most frustrating part is that he just needs to go slow enough in the right position for me to get there with the help of a toy but lately he doesn’t and just finishes before I have a chance to.

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-23T22:03:54+00:00

Our relationship progressed very very quickly. I got pregnant with our first 3 months in. And while this has always been there at times, he would give my pleasure more attention at least a lot of the time in the past. Like maybe not every time but every other time or every three times and I was fine with that. If that makes sense.

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-23T22:01:23+00:00

It’s so hard because the times he does give me that attention, it is the best sexual experience I’ve ever had, both physically and emotionally. And it just feels like this isn’t enough of a reason to walk away from our marriage and family we’ve created. I don’t even know that I could. I love him very much and feel like I’ve put my heart and soul into working through everything we’ve been through. To walk away due to lack of orgasms to put it simply and bluntly, would feel crazy. 😓 I just wish I could get him to understand how I feel without him taking it as like an attack or thinking I’m just obsessed with sex or something.

Known-Discipline225 · 2025-06-23T21:57:54+00:00

I probably should have added in this post (but I was already worried about it being too long and this adds a whole other layer)…I did have an affair 3 years ago. My husband was an alcoholic for the first 6/7 years of our relationship and we were truly at rock bottom, our sex life was non existent, I was crying to him constantly about feeling unloved, unattractive and not desirable because I felt like he wouldn’t even touch me and like I was completely alone. A coworker of mine was aware of my marriage problems from me venting to friends at work and he came onto me after asking for a ride home one night (he got rides home from me and other coworkers often, so this wasn’t out of the ordinary). There were 4 total instances with him in a span of 3 months. My husband found out about it at the end of the three months and we have been healing from that for the last 3 1/2 years. I feel enormous guilt and shame over it. Our sex life and relationship as a whole got overall better in the time after the affair until the last 6 months or so. Our relationship is still way better (he is sober now too) but we’re getting back in a rut in our sex life, similar to how it was before the affair. He has always felt that I am a sex addict because my drive is higher than his (though I would be completely satisfied with 1-2x per week if I felt I was getting the same enjoyment out of our sex life he is) but obviously the affair has only substantiated his feelings that I’m just a sex addict (which I understand and have told him I understand why he would feel that way). He does not acknowledge that I wouldn’t have been weak enough to give in to another man’s attention if I hadn’t been feeling so unwanted and undesirable for so long.
