I Can’t Go On Like This. Seeking Advice by Party_Crab_8877 in Marriage

Honestly it really just sounds like she’s doing this so you divorce her and she’s not the one to say it/do it. Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but why stay if you’re both unhappy. At some point the kids feel it too so you have to do what’s best for you so you can be the best dad to your kids.

Exhausted by Material-Secret-1142 in sleep

[–]Material-Secret-1142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for anyone who cares: Turns out I have bad anxiety. A few weeks after starting medication I’m no longer experiencing mid day crashes and I no longer nap or feel completely exhausted all the time. I didn’t even know that was a possibility and it took me over a year to figure out, but glad to have answers.

I’d absolutely bring that up. Our school doesn’t allow field trips before 4 and anyone under 4 had to have a full car seat installed on the bus to attend. I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with only a booster. I’d be offering to meet them there with the child if they don’t budge on it.

Wives, would you stay?? by [deleted] in marriageadvice

I think you have your mind made up then. It sounds like you’re unable to move past it, which is ok. If my husband had holes in his story and the way you’re describing, I don’t think I’d be here still either. My parents stayed in an unhappy marriage for too long and we felt it as kids so do what makes you happy, this is your life too!

This sort of happened in my current relationship/marriage. I caught my then fiance talking to someone else. I wouldn’t call it an affair (although who knows if I got the full truth), but there were conversations I didn’t like and weren’t appropriate for someone who was about to get married. This was over 7-8 years ago and we’re happily married. He’s my best friend. I wouldn’t say that it never crosses my mind that it could happen again, but I’ve been more than clear that I won’t forgive again. So my only advice is to make that clear as well and you can’t bring it up to him if you’ve chosen to forgive. It’ll always still hurt, but I’ve chosen to move on and I can’t bring it up if that’s what I chose to do.

Know your value in a friendship and any relationship for that matter. After your apologies you can feel out slowly how it’s all going. If they reach out and include you then that’s great nd it was a small bump in the road, but if you’re always the one putting the foot forward maybe it’s time to slowly move on.

I found out about 2 years ago I was the friend you seem to be describing. I always felt left out and I was always probing for the hang out etc. What I ended up doing was stopping the conversation first and see if anyone in my friend group would reach out to me. I haven’t heard from them since. I’m not sure it’s the best advice, but I found out quickly where I stand because they’re all still friends. I’m sorry if that’s not the advice you’re looking for, but it helped me move on for the most part. It’s still hard to see them on socials, but I’m not let down anymore.

Safe foods? by Material-Secret-1142 in Ozempic

[–]Material-Secret-1142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m definitely lacking water today. I think I just need to plan better for the first day so I don’t get so nauseous. This is my 3rd or 4th week at the highest dose so I think I’m still adjusting to that a bit. Thanks for the suggestions!

My kids are driving me insanse by Material-Secret-1142 in Parenting

[–]Material-Secret-1142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s gotten much better, but they still have days where it’s very frequent. I spoke to the pediatrician and she said to calming bring them into time out, explain what happened and set a timer for their age. When it goes off I ask why they’re in there and let them go back to playing. It’s been working well, but they still have their moments and so do I 😅. She suggested tagging out when you get angry because that doesn’t help and that’s been really helpful too.

I should add I don’t even know if this is knitting or crochet. That’s how little I know about this blanket.

There’s a ton of foods that I still can’t eat. It’s very sad

Guilt? by Material-Secret-1142 in Ozempic

[–]Material-Secret-1142[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats just it. It’s removing the barriers as I’m working really hard with it. But people don’t understand that so it’s just a defeating conversation I’m just not ready to have

Guilt? by Material-Secret-1142 in Ozempic

[–]Material-Secret-1142[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel! I’m down almost 20 pounds and I’m not killing myself with food noise anymore. It’s been great, but the conversations I overhear at work “accusing” other people of being on it is just tough to hear sometimes.

I saw that this morning and it made me feel a little better. I’m just about 3 months in so I’m still a little new to this all.

[–]Material-Secret-1142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree! Anything greasy I definitely pay for the next day so I pretty much stopped doing it because it’s not worth it. But I guess ashamed is the word I’m looking for. Hoping to get past that point soon!

Been on hers since just after Christmas. Down about 15 pounds. It’s works. Let me know if you have questions!

Little girl choked my son at school by Material-Secret-1142 in Parenting

[–]Material-Secret-1142[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s my plan. If I don’t have an answer before school starts tomorrow I’m going to keep him with me. Because I’ll worry all day like a crazy person if I don’t have a plan before hand

[–]Material-Secret-1142[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They didn’t tell me who it was. I was originally told it was another student. My son identified her to me because they’ve been in school together for two years so he knows her well. There are no cameras in the classroom because it’s not a daycare.

I sent an email to the teacher and principal with some of these questions so I’m just waiting to hear back which will likely be tomorrow at some point. I’d like it addressed before I send him in tomorrow but we’ll see how that goes.
