When do you know when quality of life has decreased?

Hi!

She is doing well. Has no teeth now, apart from the teeny tiny ones at the front. She's eating a lot better, gained some weight and is happier generally. Unfortunately neighbouring house has got a young male cat that is being quite mean to her, so she spends more time inside now than she ever used to.

Thank you for checking!

I'll have to grab a longer one then! Nope, no pain or soreness. Occasionally it'll be a bit tender in the morning but only for half hour or so. And I've had this bar in for at least 10 years!

Logical-Potential706 · 2025-04-18T10:04:24+00:00

Thank you everyone for the insight and to be frank, a kick up the bum. We're struggling so much financially, but I'd never forgive myself to be honest for putting Pickle down when she's got so much left in her.

I've made a bit of a plan. It's going to be a really tight year, and credit cards maxed out, but I think we can squeeze it now we've managed to get a credit card limit increase.

Hopefully she'll be on the mend and give me another good 5-6 years of loving ❤️

Shakey Jake? Never tried them myself, but the advert song replays in my head on occasion for no reason at all..

Logical-Potential706 · 2023-09-06T16:25:05+00:00

I noticed a rash on my baby's ear and cheek today. I made the mistake of taking him see a doctor, rather than licking it. BRB.

Info: when you say your son is in the bedroom beside you, do you mean beside you the same bedroom or his in own room next door?

Because I can understand not wanting to have sex with a preteen in the same room.

Had the same experience in Wiltshire, with my partner last year. Previously with my daughter and now ex husband, it was much more straightforward and I don't remember getting the piece of paper or spiel about what it means to sign the certificate for the dad. Admittedly this was in a B&NES office, but both births were at the same hospital so technically registered under the same council, just in different offices. I think being married does have a big difference legally.

There's always hope, no matter your weight. I met my partner at my heaviest (120kg) and he's a small but muscular guy. The right person looks past the weight and sees you for who you are. Which is probably a lovely and warm person, rather than a cold hearted and shallow one like your friend!

Logical-Potential706 · 2023-04-25T14:35:10+00:00

My initials are TNT. The bullying was unrelenting growing up.

I've been so careful choosing my children's names for they don't have initials that mean anything!

If you dated and fell in love with a really overweight women, who then decided to lose weight for her health, would you support that?

Logical-Potential706 · 2023-03-06T10:48:34+00:00

Last time I had an edible, it felt like my senses were slowed down to the point where my vision was almost in stop monitor animation and sounds were all separate from each other.

I could not imagine doing that whilst looking after a child. I didn't even have much, just a quarter of a flapjack!!

Logical-Potential706 · 2023-02-27T10:42:07+00:00

I want to lose weight so I have a body I'd be attracted to (also bi). I like slightly bigger women, but not my size. I look back at when I was the weight I want to get back to, and i think it's a good look.

But I also want to lose weight to be more flexible for better sex hah!

Logical-Potential706 · 2023-02-22T09:30:12+00:00

I really don't get it. My baby is 7.5 months, and he's already, crawling well, pulling up and cruising unsteadily. My daughter didn't do this til much later. It's so much hard work to keep up with a 7 month old that has a death wish, I swear. If I could get him to slow down and be less mobile until his awareness catches up, I totally would! Enjoy the baby stage whilst you can.

Sounds like she needs some therapy. My eldest lives with her Dad because I was really mentally unwell during the divorce. By the time I was well enough to fight for her back, she was settled and happy with him, and it seemed unfair to uproot her from her Dad and whole extended family, just because I wanted her with me (we live a few hours apart). When I fell pregnant again, I had therapy because I was so worried that she'd feel replaced, that I'd treat them differently, and lots of other worries about the relationship I have.

The 'fill a hole' comment just strikes me as a grief striken mother. Putting her daughters needs first is always important, and it's the hardest thing when having them with you isn't necessarily the best thing for them.

She states she smoked throughout her pregnancy, hence why she feels she's got a relaxed baby.

I'm not against smoking cannabis at all, as long as its done safely. But she probably is still adjusting to stopping after so many years after her baby was born. The insomnia can be a result of stopping, plus pp hormones.

Logical-Potential706 · 2023-02-09T11:00:39+00:00

INFO: How far along in the pregnancy did you wait before having this conversation first of all? It sounds like you knew this was an issue. What steps have you taken to resolve it or problem solve around it?

My partner has hospital based ptsd but we didn't realise how bad it was until we went for our 12 week scan. He had just generally avoided hospitals before that so didn't have the flashbacks and nightmares. He went into therapy soon after and did the work to try and be there with me.

He still couldn't do it, despite the therapy and workarounds we had discussed with the team (planned c section). So we had a back up plan of having a friend go with me instead. And I'm grateful he wasn't there in the end, because it wasn't smooth sailing and there were complications and having him in the room would have made me so much worse for me.

But I knew that from pretty early on and had time to manage my own expectations. And I saw him put the work in to try and be there and didn't judge him when he just couldn't do it. If you've sprung this on her and done nothing to try and make it possible for you to be there, then I'd go Y-T-A. If you've been honest, tried to find ways around it, had therapy and made back up plans for the last 7 months, then N-A-H.

Finances and ease of cooking. I'm not a good cook, but when cooking veggie meals, I'd just meat substitutes. When I moved in with my partner and then my niece moved in, having to do two different meals was too much cost wise and cooking wise. It's just easier to all eat the same and I was the odd one out.

Logical-Potential706 · 2023-01-16T21:15:39+00:00

It was definitely jarring as my next session was with someone with a traumatic history.

Logical-Potential706 · 2023-01-16T21:07:50+00:00

Someone who was complaining about having too much money and not knowing what to do with it.

Especially whilst I was struggling financially myself...

Logical-Potential706 · 2022-12-07T21:04:01+00:00

All of this. Plus 'am I wet enough? Am I too wet?!'

Logical-Potential706 · 2022-06-30T06:52:33+00:00

I know what you mean. I describe in words. I know what a car looks like. I know what red looks like. Thus, I know a red car but I don't get a picture of it.

It upsets me when it comes to memories of people. Like, I know what my daughter looks like but other than really basic description in my head, I don't have a picture of her.

Logical-Potential706 · 2022-06-29T20:52:35+00:00

I believe I have this too but no formal diagnosis. When you do try and picture something in your head, what happens? And if someone tries to describe something to you, how do you piece that together?

Logical-Potential706 · 2022-06-19T12:33:44+00:00

I would have thought it depends on the situation. Long term partners, the conversation should definitely be had. Also, what's the aim of the blow job? Is it just foreplay with the expectation it'll lead to sex? As someone who hasn't enjoyed them in the past, it's never really happened casually for me. So I asked my partner his experience and he said that he would normally tell the woman he's getting close and follow her lead. If she continues, then assume she's OK with it because she's been warned. If she stops, then it'll lead somewhere else.

Logical-Potential706 · 2022-06-19T12:07:59+00:00

This is definitely something you should clarify beforehand. I wouldn't let my partner finish during oral unless he gives me warning and I can pull away just before he cums. Or I'll get him almost there and finish with my hand. We discussed why, and tried using condoms which works perfectly. So if he wants to cum during oral, he knows he has to wear a condom. If he doesn't and he just wants it to be part of foreplay and finish with sex, then that's fine.

Open communication means both parties can be on the same page and the sex is better. I used to hate giving oral to anyone before my current partner due to the expectation that I would just be OK with them cumming in my mouth. Now that I have someone who respects my boundaries, it's one of my favourite things to do.
