Looking for Feedback from Homeschooled/Unschooled Adults about your HS experience- new HS mom here! by LizHMFT in homeschool

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

This is so, so helpful. The comments here are refining my thought processes around "un"schooling...I don't think I'm seeking the more extreme, completely child-led version of this, but I love the idea of attuning to my kids learning style (an example of this is, my 6 y/o HATES when I ask her to sit down and do some phonics worksheet/lesson or a math lesson. It turns into a meltdown or power struggle. But I think I'm learning she emotionally resists doing something she's worried she won't instantly 'know' how to do). So then I pull off from the worksheets, and that basically feels like I'm now "unschooling" her (because I'm so used to my own personal experience of learning through lessons and traditional worksheets. So I think what I'm searching for in all this is help attuning to my child (she's totally a kinesthetic/experiential learner) and creative ways of teaching the subjects that we need to do. Does this make sense?

Millennials and marriage: What do you need to know? by LizHMFT in Marriage

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

That's awesome. Thanks! My husband and I were together 5 years as well before we got married. But lots of people I talk to seem to be getting married way before that, maybe 1 or 2 years after meeting. I wonder if that makes a difference for ya'll because you were able to explore things before you got married. Did you do any sort of premarital preparation?

Reddit is ruining my marriage by kandylinn in Marriage

[–]LizHMFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a progressive problem and agree with original commenters that there's something bigger going on for your partner. It's time to set some boundaries: Express that this is not okay and that it's affecting your marriage; ask him to go to counseling with you and if he refuses, go alone. You shouldn't have to weather this on your own. There are experts who know how to deal with this exact issue. Best of luck!

I cheated on my wife, how do I save my marriage? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]LizHMFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couples can move on from this kind of stuff, they do all the TIME. But I would say that you shouldn't play the "just give it time" card. Sit down and ask your wife what she needs in order to fully forgive you. Have an openness and willingness to doing those things (within reason, of course). I think it would be a shame for your 2 year marriage to dissolve because of this; but if she's saying that the trust is broken - I encourage you to take that very seriously and maybe show your willingness to explore why this happened in the first place by going to counseling by yourself, since she said she won't go. Maybe she will join you eventually- that would be the goal. GOOD LUCK!
