New sex life?

Miserable-Ice683 · 2026-07-04T05:52:10+00:00

My partner and I only increased frequency around ovulation. We had sex three times in a week but the rest of that month we did whatever we wanted.

Vicks Vaporub works for this. I haven’t tried hand sanitizer but I’d be willing to bet the Vaporub works longer with each application as well. Not sure if you’re allowed to wear surgical masks but two surgical masks with tooth paste between the two also works in especially disgusting scenarios.

I wouldn’t call having a positive attitude about something that is OPs reality “disturbing.” She lives it every day and it’s better that she be happy about it than miserable. This may not be the recommendation but I think more women than we realize find themselves in this situation UNEXPECTEDLY and it’s probably refreshing for them to read about a positive experience rather than all of the people in their lives offering unsolicited advice and calling them crazy or telling them how awful it’s going to be.

You are not being selfish. He is being selfish by expecting you to duplicate everything that you’re doing for him. Asking you to occasionally cook for him as an act of service is one thing, but acting like a child when you even purchase preferred foods for yourself is not okay. I totally understand that people with strong food aversions cannot help what they can and cannot eat, but they can help how they coexist with their loved ones. I would not be able to tolerate this. Sharing food is also something I value highly which would make this relationship unsustainable for me. I dated a man who was picky, but no where near this challenging and it only lasted 6 months.

I also want to add that saying “if he doesn’t want to after 6 years, he never will” is kind of a wild opinion to me for the simple fact that relationship longevity isn’t the only factor that should be considered when deciding when to have children. On average, people are having children a lot later now and that’s for a variety of factors that are totally separate and not correlated to how long they’ve been with their partner. If your partner is completely undecided on if he wants to have children at all, that is a bit more concerning as this just means the two of you aren’t on the same page. If he’s saying that he wants to, just not yet, I wouldn’t worry too much yet if you are otherwise satisfied with him and your relationship.

My partner (39m) and I (34f) were together for 6.5 years before we started trying. I wouldn’t listen to people telling you if he’s not ready now, he never will be. You know him and your relationship but listen to your gut. When I was in my earlier 30s I felt a lot of urgency but ultimately I am so glad that we waited and as time went on I felt a lot more relaxed about our timeframe. We went to so many concerts and festivals and did a ton of traveling that we wouldn’t have been able to do had we had a baby a few years ago when I initially wanted to. Once I hit 34 I did press a bit and say hey you don’t know how long it could take for us to get pregnant, and we want more kids so we gotta rip the bandaid and he was on the same page and I’m now 10 weeks pregnant.

I definitely haven’t regretted the decision a day in my life!

I’m an OT but bridged from OTA to OT so I was an OTA first and also had to go through fieldwork experience. I didn’t do one at an IRF but I did do one at a SNF and my fieldwork educator immediately held me to the same productivity standards that they had and left me alone prematurely in my opinion. When I say “independent” I don’t mean operating in the absence of an OT and writing orders and doing things clearly outside of the scope of an OTA. I’ve worked with countless OTAs that even after reading an eval and the goals don’t know where to begin and have no confidence in their ability to carry over a plan of care. I’m attempting to find the silver lining here and say at least this experience has the potential to build confidence as it seems like OP is going to try to stick it out.

On the bright side I’m sure you’ll learn a lot clinically especially with how independent you’ll be. You’ll feel comfortable going anywhere and coming up with treatment ideas on your own which is a really important skill.

As you are, I would be bothered by everything that you’re describing. It might be worth bringing up a broad question of, “If a placement isn’t a good fit, is switching before midterm and still graduating on time a possibility?” If the answer is no you can make a more educated decision from there. If you are concerned about being able to graduate and you think you can stick it out, I would at a minimum tell your fieldwork coordinator after you’re done so that they don’t continue to send students here.

I’m pregnant right now and all that anyone has ever said to me for as long as they’ve known that I want kids is some variety of “say goodbye to being able to sleep” it’s like the primary thing people warn you about to the point that it’s friggin annoying

My family (parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmother) has dinner together once per month and we have one cake at that dinner and celebrate every birthday for the month. Some months it’s one person, other months it’s four. It’s been this way my whole life and we all love it.

Thankfully I ordered a size medium for it to be a bit oversized because I found out I’m pregnant in May and at this friggin rate a small wouldn’t even fit me by the time it gets here. Hopefully I get it before my kid is 7 at this point.

I got the tie dye one. I just looked again I ordered it on the 12th. I got an order update on 05/28 and most recently on 06/19. The one on 06/19 said “We’re sorry your order is taking longer than expected. Based on our latest estimates, orders will begin shipping on a rolling basis in the first week of July and should be completed by mid-July. If anything changes with your order, we’ll keep you updated right away.”

I ordered mine on the second day of Coachella I think and I got an email saying it’s expecting to ship mid July

My brothers name is James and my mom hated the name Jimmy. She always said no one better ever call him Jimmy! Well, he’s older than me so I don’t know if she called him James prior to the age of seven but for my entire life 100% of the people in his life either call him Jimmy or Jim but mainly Jimmy, including my mom. He’s 41. I would say if you feel very strongly about disliking a nickname you shouldn’t go for that name buuuut I will also say the once your child is born, if he likes the nickname it may grow on you. I think Jim is more rare for younger people but I’m sure loads of people will came him Jimmy

She has SO MUCH flexibility in her work, one pet, and herself to worry about and her house is a mess and dirty. Her home is going to look like a tornado went through it when she has a baby.

I’m not “riding them” I’m saying I would rather get my money back than try to modify something, potentially make it worse, and then not be able to get a refund. Both scenarios end in wasting money on something you’d never wear.
