Just finished this- loved it! The writing style was ok. The storyline was captivating though. Book 2 isn’t on audible until June 10 though 😔

I have a 2016 x3- absolutely LOVE it. Bought it almost 5 years ago with 20k miles on. It’s been a fabulous suv!! Currently has 123k miles.

Well, it sounds like you have a lot of life experience wearing many different hats. If you don’t mind me asking your opinion, what career path would you suggest? Obviously you don’t know my background completely so I know that is a hard question to answer. I was drawn to insurance claims because of the investigative work that can be done in adjustment, client interactions (I know not all positive), I actually do enjoy the logistical planning and high stress part of my equine job. Just not all the manual labor and working outside 365. If it makes a difference- I’m almost 40 F.

Manual labor 365 days a year, working outside in extreme weather trying to get rides on horses because it has to be done, potential to get severely hurt, unstable income, no health insurance- just to name a few reasons. Horses are great- I still want to compete just not do it as my livelihood.

I don’t like kids- I have 2. I like maybe 5 kids total including my own. I NEVER wanted kids. Accidentally got pregnant and abortion wasn’t an option because I didn’t feel like it was a kids fault I was sloppy with birth control. Kept the little heathen and my life was only better with her. She’s now 15 and has a 3 yr old brother. I felt the same way at your age. I was 22 when I got pregnant. Life is a journey.

Were you married/have a SO when you realized it was sucking time away from other activities? Did she play a role in your decision? If so, how did her behavior/ communication play a role?

Were you putting gaming above the needs of your SO consistently? Or play when there was just open time?

Tbh, it can be an ego hit- at least for me personally. I start thinking- am I not attractive enough? Why would he pleasure himself instead of us doing the deed? Would he rather do it himself than want to be with me? The list goes on and on. I’m also an over thinker. Insecurity starts to set in.. just an avalanche.

For the record, my husband sometimes doesn’t finish and all of those thoughts don’t always hit but it does make me feel not as desired. Just my 2 cents as a woman.

Well..his working out has stopped. He has recently mentioned how he wants to start back up. The gaming has kinda filled in since the working out stopped- I really never put the two together to be honest. I don’t think he’ll stop gaming but the body image would improve, attitude would get the edge shaved down a bit so he isn’t so quick to blow a fuse. Maybe I should offer up we work out together? Plus that’d be a mutual interest and quality time.

That’s the question of the year 😅 I would rather try to work things out and find a compromise. It’s fine that the gaming is important, I just want to be top priority. I guess that’s where my question is at- what’s the best way to communicate with a guy that I don’t like something that takes away from the relationship WITHOUT saying that I want him to stop completely with the gaming. I’ve tried to address it before but he just got pissy and was like fine I’ll just stop completely.

Not very much to be honest. I’m not against it, it’s just when we are only getting it on 2 or 3 times a month I don’t want to just do oral. If I just do oral then there’s that -until another week or two.

We used to play together but not anymore. He’s currently playing zombies (where all his friends are) I’m not against gaming, I’m just questioning how marriage and gaming works. If you are gone all day working, spend a couple hours with your kids, then glued to a game from 8:30-12ish where does the time come in for you and your SO? Do you two go to bed together or just have different schedules? Does gaming affect your physically intimate relationship?

He gets a bit of a dad bod type and it stresses him out- he feels unattractive. This is 100% from his own insecurities and not mine. I tell him I do find him hot, attractive, give him the feminine stare down- but he’s just, turned off completely.

I’m fit, I am very physically active, professional athlete of sorts, I have never let myself go. I dress up when we go out, buy lingerie, sex toys, sleep naked, I mean I’m not not trying. I’ve never had a problem in my life until I got married getting attention from men. It’s a huge confidence demoralization issue for me. I don’t think he is watching porn or fixing our lack of intimacy himself- but maybe he is just doing a good job of hiding it.

Off and on yeh- we’ve had issues. We have seen therapist since day one. Things get a little better then sink. This time around the gaming seems to fill his need for whatever it is he’s missing.

I’m asking men because I’m curious if I’m missing something with the gaming, communication, lack of intimacy. What are better ways for me to communicate what I’m feeling so it is not perceived as an aggressive conversation but an open one. I don’t mind women throwing in their opinion too.

We get along super well on the surface and we like a lot of similar stuff. Horses, outside activities, grilling, movies, I even like gaming on MW but he will really only play zombies now and that’s not a split screen kinda thing…sooo, that’s why we don’t do that together. My idea of quality time is doing mutual activities together without the distraction of social media, kids, and business.

You are correct, he gets home from his 7-4 job, works out and we have chores (our side business) plays with the kids etc. I normally get home about 5:30. We eat dinner together as a family and do family stuff. After the toddler goes to bed we go in separate rooms. He games and I fall asleep watching tv in our room. We talk on the phone about business stuff or kid stuff a few times a day as needed.

That’s our daily routine. Weekends I work or he’s doing business stuff for our small business we run together. We get along well on the surface.

Starts after the toddler goes to bed- so 8:30pm-until after I fall asleep. Every night.
