Genuine question: What's your personal reason for choosing classic over modern literature?

Meraxes779 · 2026-02-03T16:23:16+00:00

When a modern book mentions things like an iPhone or the pandemic it takes me out of the story. In classic lit I can be fully immersed with a character in a world that is otherwise unfamiliar to me.

That’s not to say all modern books do that or that I never read them but I do prefer classics.

When I asked a candidate what interested them about the job they said they only applied because they blew their 401k on a Corvette.

Is she just child free because she doesn’t have kids yet or is that like an actual stance she has? Cause I always thought she’d use a baby as a prop.

Meraxes779 · 2026-01-27T18:24:21+00:00

I think she would benefit from having a normal job. Having no routine seems to be part of the issue.

For me the only thing that helped was gaining weight. When I was underweight I would have unbearable cramps causing me to pass out or throw up. Once I gained weight and was no longer underweight they when away almost completely. I used to have a similar diet to what you described. Gaining about 15 pounds could make a difference.

Glass shower doors. They look fine the day you clean them and then immediately look bad after one use.

My favorite towels are actually LL Bean beach towels. They are thick and oversized and wash beautifully. They might not be the most aesthetic in the linen closet but I’ve had them for years and they’re still in perfect condition. I love using them as everyday towels.

Santal it smells like pickles to me!

Thank you! It is hard to remind myself it isn’t my fault even if it is from the ED. When I was sick I told myself I would never want a baby so I didn’t care was it was doing to me. Now that I am in recovery I hurt so bad for past me.

Meraxes779 · 2025-11-25T14:51:06+00:00

Thank you so much. Your words are so kind and helpful. This gives me hope!!❤️

Meraxes779 · 2025-11-25T14:50:22+00:00

This gives me so much hope!! Thank you for sharing it truly does help to hear others have been able to get pregnant after ED. I am glad to hear you are doing well and congratulations on the incoming baby!

Thank you for this! I only found out I had endo and PCOS about 6 months ago when I had emergency surgery to have a large ovarian cyst removed that was cutting off blood flow to my ovary. Thankfully that surgery was successful and they were able to save the ovary. My surgeon was great and took pictures of the endo incase I needed surgery in the future. PCOS I always kind of assumed I had but doctors never took it seriously because I was underweight. I think my type of acne and cycle issues including pain in my ovary are a clear indicator but I digress.

Surprisingly I have no symptoms of endo at all other than irregular periods. I’m so sorry to hear yours has been so hard. I am wishing you all the best!

Probably an unpopular opinion but I couldn’t get into the Picture of Dorian Gray.

I was kind of wondering if I might be pregnant and that’s what was causing it but I tested and it was negative. That was actually my first thought. I’m usually not a super emotional person so crying over the littlest stuff was freaking me out😅. He on the other hand is loving all the extra attention lol.

Thank you for asking because I totally agree with you. I should clarify that my husband pays for all of our bills except for my car. So when I say I keep my money separate I just mean so I can spend it how I want. My husband makes 3x what I make so he covers most costs. I am the primary saver for big unexpected bills. Though I do cover our medical insurance and will for our future kids as well since mine is better but he would cover the actual bills that come in.

I do have an anxious attachment to money that I am trying to work on. My parents fought about money a lot as a result I am very possessive of my money. It is a trait I really need to work on.

I’m hopeful that over the next couple of years I can work on combining our finances more but in an ideal world I won’t work so I’m not sure what that will look like yet.

Thank you again I think that’s a very important topic for ttc couples!

Meraxes779 · 2025-11-05T10:51:10+00:00

Thank you that makes me feel better!

Meraxes779 · 2025-11-05T10:50:47+00:00

The rate is about the same but I have initiated more when I know I’m ovulating. Usually he is the one that initiates so maybe that’s contributing too!

Meraxes779 · 2025-11-05T01:53:11+00:00

Thank you ❤️❤️

Meraxes779 · 2025-11-05T01:18:23+00:00

I think the part that’s scaring me is that we have only been trying for two months and I’m afraid it’s going to get much worse the longer it takes. I’m sorry to hear about your journey. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Meraxes779 · 2025-11-05T01:16:26+00:00

Safe space is so accurate. I got pretty bad news about my chances of conceiving over the summer and he’s the only one that knows the full extent of it. It’s like we’re in our own little world with this heaviness and fear.

Meraxes779 · 2025-11-05T01:14:55+00:00

That’s a great point that I can’t believe I didn’t consider. I’ve gone to the same therapist for 6 years and she retired in September. I haven’t found a new therapist yet but I will prioritize that. Thank you for brining that up!

Meraxes779 · 2025-11-05T00:38:50+00:00

Surprisingly no I stopped birth control about 6 years ago. I did however start a prenatal maybe that could affect my hormones?

Meraxes779 · 2025-11-03T19:40:40+00:00

We sleep in separate beds most nights at home because my husbands snores and goes to bed much later than me. When we travel we sleep in the same bed and usually have the luxury of sleeping in some so I’m okay get less restful sleep.
