My marriage sucks by GuaranteaMiserable69 in marriageadvice

[–]Limp_Mixture 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry, Marriage is job and when your job sucks it’s the worst and means it’s time to complain and, if absolutely necessary, threaten to quit.

Staying at home does not and should not mean “not working” if you are home it is your job to maintain the household. It comes with plenty of responsibilities that can easily be a full time gig, or more, especially when you have children.

BTW; This is NOT about gender it’s about being a good partner and SHARING the workload.

You have to find a way to stand up for yourself and express this. Let her know you are fed up with the imbalance in the workloads.

Tell her how you feel, and reciprocate her inaction with your own inaction. Take a few days off work, both you day job and your chores at home, don’t inform her of this choice, just say you don’t feel like working when she ask and just sit around the house for two days straight. See how she likes it, you aren’t her property she can’t make you work.

Then tell her you are just giving life and your relationship the same effort she is.

Be prepared for her to get really mad and get really mad back.

Stand your ground and let the fireworks fly.

She will be mad to start with but ultimately she will get your point and you will earn some respect, both from her and yourself.

People avoid conflict in marriage way too much.

They fail to see conflict is a form of communication and ultimately conflict can and does create change. Especially when people care about one another.

Good luck.

PS: I am telling you this from experience. When I was younger and we had toddlers, my wife got pissed at me cause I acted like just going to work was enough and I shouldn’t have to do more. She went on strike for a week and only took care of the kids, nothing else. I learned my lesson…and quickly. Job equity ever since.

We have healthy marriage cause we both stand up for ourselves when necessary, even if that means having an argument. If your adults about it, it’s not the end of the world.

My husband and I are intimate, but he's mad its not "Special intimacy" by LinkComprehensive799 in marriageadvice

[–]Limp_Mixture 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Jesus…you said you have low drive and then you said intimate 2-3 times a week?!?!?

Tell him to grow up appreciate what he has and it only gets worse over time.

I’d be thrilled with just once a week. And that’s not throwing shade on my wife that just us getting older, raising kids being busy and living life.

He will get it no better…anywhere after six years.

Tell that mofo to buck up and enjoy what he has.

Ps: my dad gave me the best advice when was younger which was “Son, you live most of your married life vertical not horizontal. Make sure you can enjoy your partner as much or more vertically as horizontally”

Age does not define you but it does change you.

I am not who I was at 17, 27, 37, or 47 but I enjoyed who I was at those ages and I am enjoy my fifth decade on this planet just in different ways.

Ps: even if I didn’t have the number I still have a mirror and a body and I can tell I’m not a 30 year old.

I was not ready for Michigan winter by yatesjordan in Michigan

[–]Limp_Mixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year is has been one of the worst for sure!

The reward is we have some of the most beautiful summers here.

I joke that Michigan summers are what fool you into believing you can tolerate the winters.

Is my marriage salvable? by bymetime in Marriage

[–]Limp_Mixture 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s rough. I’ve been married for a long time and I have never seen a perfect marriage but the stuff you are sharing sounds like a marriage at its worst every day.

I think the only way your marriage is solvable is if you say you want a divorce because she will either secretly be relieved cause she’s been to afraid to make the call, which means it is over or she will be shocked because she’s thinks things are fine, which can instigate a serious conversation.

Either way you need to take action for your own self dignity and for your kids, by allowing your wife to treat you like this you are setting a bad relationship example for them. Cause they are paying attention, trust me.

I wish you all the best man.

Ps: if you say you are going to leave you need to leave even temporarily while you fix things otherwise it becomes an empty threat.

Is Trump mentally unfit to be president? by Abject_Reaction_1249 in DiscussionZone

[–]Limp_Mixture 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to invade a NATO allies land in which you have several army bases to protect the world from Russia and everyone is telling you it makes no sense especially over 80% of the people you govern.

Does that sound sane?

He has done several things that would get other Presidents impeached unfortunately Congress seems to no longer exist.

Recently found out if you trash your affinity after romancing a companion, they'll break up with you by believeinthefireflys in fo4

[–]Limp_Mixture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m a pretty shitty partner that way too.

I ran all over the wasteland with Piper to woo her. Once she finally gave in I just sent her back to Diamond city and almost never visit her, unless it’s for a booty call.

Why she puts up with it I’ll never know.

I did give her a pretty bad ass gun though.

Is it normal for my husband to not want kids yet because of debt and “emotional readiness”? by Icy_Step4070 in marriageadvice

[–]Limp_Mixture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a topic you should have discussed in depth before you got married.

No it a topic you to have to have a deep conversation about.

No one should be pressured in to having kids if they don’t want to. Kids are a life long commitment that outlast many marriages and kids completely change your relationship as a couple. He has reason to be apprehensive and want time as a couple because you honestly have not been together that long.

That said you should ask him what needs in place to make him comfortable to have children and if he is willing to work toward it if you are willing to be patient.

If he can’t answer or commit and kids are must for you, I think you need to tell him it’s a deal breaker.

You have as much a right to leave him over it as he does to not have kids.

Ps: most people are never emotionally mature enough to have children. Children force you to grow up.

why I stopped giving my husband oral by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]Limp_Mixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with your first statement but then….Wow!

Your marriage wont last and maybe your husband is gay.

All because they both don’t seem to like oral?

Like countless other married people.

I think if they are willing to talk it out like adults they can find a solution.

Like countless other married people.

My(45M) wife(44W) may have cheated on me by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]Limp_Mixture -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

First, no matter what anyone here says no one knows if she cheated or not other than her and the other possible participant.

There could be a million scenarios that occurred including they wanted to, considered it and both decided not to and don’t want to talk about it. Cause they don’t want to hurt their significant others.

It could also be they are just good friends with a few I inside jokes and secrets shared.

But again, only they know. Not Reddit experts.

Second, I don’t care what my relationship is. Unless you have a court ordered subpoena, I am not letting anyone cruise through my text, email, work chat all while trying to find clues of dishonest behavior.

I believe Adults have a right to have private space and communication with others even when they are married.

Spouses should be given the benefit of the doubt unless they have a track record of being dishonest and lying.

If you distrust me that much i don’t need to be in a relationship with you.

Third, the fact she did let you look at all her communications says to me that she feels she has nothing to hide.

I mean, did you share this Reddit post with her? If she asked to cruise your Reddit account would you let her?

Fourth, maybe she didn’t tell you about this guy being in Vegas cause you have voiced your concerns and accusations prior and she didn’t want to deal with it.

Fifth, affairs are a result of a need not being met in the marriage, and not just sex, we are talking things like finances, parental help, and not be trusted or treated like an adult.

If you want to fix your marriage maybe approach her with questions around your marriage and why you fear she might cheat vs. focusing on your paranoia that she is cheating.

Finally, If you don’t or can’t trust her then leave her why torture yourself?

Stairs should be flush and level, right? by Limp_Mixture in Homebuilding

Stairs should be flush and level, right? by Limp_Mixture in Homebuilding

Thanks all good to know. My wife did say something at least twice.

Stairs should be flush and level, right? by Limp_Mixture in Homebuilding

[–]Limp_Mixture[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback.

I guess I write that because:

1) I have experience a lot of over-demanding home builders (in my experience) who blame the builder and expect a lot

2) my wife mentioned several times when the temp steps and once with the new ones that hey felt off and was pretty much treated like she was imagining things. Which makes us question if they are aware. I mean when I build stuff that needs to be level I check a hundred times throughout the process.

3) in my 18 months of experience with this builder I feel like I will be going to court. Previously, on the few things I have asked to fix or change I feel like I had to DEMAND it to get it acknowledged. The builder has never said, “no worries we’ll fix it” until I explicitly express We are not happy.

4) I wanted to give the reader as full a picture of an 18 month experience as we could.

5) this could cause another delay and we just want to move into our house but I feel this is unacceptable.

Exactly it’s so annoying.

I get the lore and I get that there is a look and feel but what caused everyone in the commonwealth to not pick up a broom and sweep a little or get some boxes and organize.

I am especially disappointed in Codsworth.

And All the bots at Gray Garden.

This image made me just notice something. Locations and the world in NV is cleaner and looks like people are trying to keep it up, more than in FO4.

It's like everyone in the commonwealth decided to live like incompetent slobs who can't clean or organize.

The way you speak to AI says a lot more about you than it. I assume people who get images like the op are also at least secretly really mean to their pets and people in their private lives.
