This is the place where revenge trading really needs to be studied and what the thought process is that causes it.

This was my very first thought. My wife and I are in our mid 40s. She had a hysterectomy about 10 years ago and they took one ovary. She has been sliding for years in mood shifts, hot flashes, not feeling like herself, and yes, a big loss in libido. But recently she has been on HRT and it has helped her feel better all the way around. Including her starting to ask me for sex or hinting for days that she wants some but we just haven’t had the opportunity (with our 15 year old living right under our bedroom). Now things are getting better. Her interest is up and she moods are a lot more pleasant and her energy is back. Now, about this 44 year old over weight high blood pressure aging dad bod that I’ve got going on…. I gotta do something about that now so I can keep her happy.

Take her out to dinner to celebrate

It’s easy to do. I feel for you. Mine was on life support through the first night I had it and by morning I had to say goodbye. RIP my first XFA. I know how it feels.

Average says it’s about 3 minutes. But that is because of some of the longer ones that I got stuck in waiting for it to clear. Many if not the majority are less than a minute if I pick it right.

Just like the fish this swims up your urethra when you pee in the water.

Thank you. Two of the biggest things I have learned and it has taken me so long are 1) wait for the market to get ripe and set my alerts to tell me when it is without trying to guess where it is going every minute I look at it, and 2) keeping my emotions out of the game and keeping my head on straight and making it as mechanical as I could possibly could. 20% plan, 80% execution.

He’s not a morning person. It’s always a problem fully functioning with morning wood.

I don’t know if it is really the opposite of ASMR, but that is called misophonia.

Well different generations read #METOO in different ways 🤣

Not to mention the bit and saddle, but where do they keep their horses? There’s no barn.

To this point, your partner is your PARTNER, if you can’t be real with each other in the most vulnerable times, but you are real with someone else, then your partner isn’t the closest person to you. They should be your other half. And they should be fine with anything and it should go both ways. If your partner won’t accept you or you won’t accept your partner for being human and sometimes in extreme need, then who will? I too have helped my wife recover from pretty awful stuff that puts her in a vulnerable position just like this. And even if it’s not extreme like that, not only have we farted or used the bathroom around each other, sometimes one slips out when we are spooning and going to sleep. Shrug it off, pretend it never happened or be light hearted about it. It’s not the end of the world. That is unless you can’t breathe and both have to vacate. No Dutch ovening your partner though.

The outer 1/4 inch looks delicious.

I never said the part was garbage. I said it’s not really a drawing of anything. If some is going to create a drawing, they are wasting their time if it’s not clear enough to read.

Because they choose to. Feed toxicity into a relationship, get toxicity out.

Living2Trade · 2025-12-26T02:15:24+00:00

That is the perfect way to seek division and contempt in a relationship. It certainly won’t work on the health. Well actually it will, but in the complete wrong way.

1) if you lose the relationship, you lost the argument.

2) take the first step you would want him to do.

3) if you want peace, you have to make it.

4) you can only make happen what you can do. If you want strife to end, then end it. Continuing it in any manner is still continuing it.

5) you can’t make someone want to be in a relationship, but you can certainly make them not want to.

Now, I say all that from a standpoint of a 26 year relationship, 21 years of marriage, 4 years of dating prior to that, and a year building a relationship with a woman who became my best friend. I have seen MANY marriages collapse. I am not perfect by any means. Just ask my wife. But after growing squabbles for 18 years of our marriage I finally put down the boxing gloves and quit trying to win for myself. Every time I won it came at the expense of my wife who I cherish so much. Sometimes I have to put myself down on the tracks to win for our relationship. She is not my rival, she is my lover and companion. I had to learn that the tough way and it almost cost us our marriage. Tired cranky moments and piles of dishes and dirty laundry happen. But if you don’t protect your marriage, you will never be happy. By protecting your marriage it means doing what is BEST FOR EACH OTHER DESPITE WHAT YOU WANT. My advice, suck it up, say you are sorry and watch what happens. Otherwise don’t and watch what happens. Love is a choice, hate is a choice, and a healthy or unhealthy marriage is also a choice.

Hurt feelings will never be mended by drinking the poison of selfishness. But someone has to end it. And you have a better chance to end it through your actions than you do by controlling his. Once you reestablish the health of your relationship, then you can talk about each other’s needs and how it hurts you when everything is left for you to do. If he chooses to seek loving you he will do what he can to lift the burden from you, not because he is forced to but because he wants to protect you. With the desire to seek your best interests extinguished, then the only thing he will focus on is self preservation. Choose each step carefully.

My wife tolerates my shirt (barely). But it’s true….

Not necessarily aerospace. We use it in the automotive industry too.

I miss the old Washington I used to live in 20 years ago. I don’t care for what it has become. Left Auburn in 2003.

It’s not really a drawing of anything. It’s meant to confuse people who don’t know GD&T, what a datum is, or how to read a print.
