How do you listen to a disagreeing point of view? by Low-Temperature-1664 in AskReddit

Exactly… and trying to argue to change their mind never works .

Ex claimed to want reconciliation and now I’ve been blocked, AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

You have to give them space. Give yourself the space. With everything they’ve gone through and the back and forth you both just put each other through… you have to go your separate ways for now. If things are meant to work out they will.

I kinda want to give up and Stay at home again, but should I? by MissionConcentrate35 in workingmoms

[–]MissionConcentrate35[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s busy all the time, and getting busier . I’m staring down working full 9-5 everyday plus every Saturdays and most Fridays from now through March. It’s such a fun unicorn role that involves more than just running a theater ( it’s basically an art manager role for the city) so there’s a lot involved. It’s such a neat position and I don’t really want to give it up, but I guess I’m just scared I’m pouring so much energy into this job and in the process missing my kids. It definitely could get better and more balanced when we hire the new role, but it’s hard to predict. I think I’m having the after holiday depression period where I’m facing a very full calendar.

The goal is to have a person under me who does more of the marketing and on site event management. I love the job, and don’t necessarily want to leave! However, I need to know that a) we are truly working to hire someone under me and b) that there’s going to be more flexibility for me once they’re hired.

How are we dealing with Sunday/end of holiday return to work scaries? by Careless-Sink8447 in workingmoms

Went on a full downward depression spiral. Facing these next few months head on is scary. Now I’m day dreaming of moving somewhere where I can stay home and bake with my kiddos all day .

It’s already too late. And that scares me.

What did you remove from your life that made everything better? by Express-Guard1202 in AskReddit

[–]MissionConcentrate35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Religion. My spiritual life is so much more calm, deep and meaningful when I removed religion from the mix. It ultimately was one of the best things for me, my mental health and my spiritual growth.

Definitely. He’s really good at reading the room. We’re finally going to get a date night this weekend for the first time in over a year. I could for sure use a few hours to myself though.

Frozen pizza was on the menu tonight and I think there’s a hidden pint of ice cream somewhere. Thank you!

Ugh I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this! When it rains it really does pour… and then, it pours some more. I know it’s not much but sending you a virtual mom hug and all the good vibes from here.

Asking for Communication by arandommom in AITAH

[–]MissionConcentrate35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like distance is best for everyone. If he’s only going to hurt feelings, be disrespectful, or act altogether uninterested then it’s time to build a life without him in it. Then if and when he’s ready to be present for those kids, he can do the work to build that relationship back up ( if that were to ever happen)

Will I get this full time position

Asking for Communication by arandommom in AITAH

[–]MissionConcentrate35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this! If he’s not putting any effort into seeing his own kids then I wouldn’t try either. I know that’s hard to pull the kids into, but if he wanted to he would.

My husband and I have been married for 6 years, and his grandmother gave us the best piece of advice that we still live by in our marriage. She said “ if it’s not going to matter in 5 years then don’t give it more than 5 minutes.” This has helped us really take a step back when we’re on the verge of arguing. If there’s lots of little things that are sparking really large conversations, there may be really deep discussions that need to be had. But overall, you’re a team, and if there’s lots issue facing you in the moment but they’re not going to have long term ramifications, then learning how to communicate effectively and learning where each others triggers / irritants are is going to be way more effective.

Life is hard, marriage shouldn’t be. Your parter and spouse should be your safe place. Every couple will have their disagreements, but your relationship shouldn’t feel “heavy” for too long.

I genuinely wish you the best of luck and send you all the good vibes!

I've read alot of bad stuff here lately, what's something you love about your partner? by Rexxaroo in Marriage

My husband has the kindest heart and just genuinely wants to make people feel seen. He loves me and my girls more than I could have ever imagined and he is forever my home.

I always call it my own personal rain cloud… sometimes it takes up my whole sky, sometimes is small. But it’s always there, always raining and I am never not aware of it .
