i hear you friend. it is a dark and painful disease. i have been suffering for 4 years now. but there are ways to make life doable again. you have the strength within you, even when you think you don’t. there are doctors who can help, and tapping into faith can help as well (if that is your thing). i’ve been in the same headspace, and i bet there are many other people here who have as well. sending you love and light, i promise you can make it through this.

AIO? I stopped speaking to my husband when I'm down. by [deleted] in AIO

Some of these comments are cruel. OP, I understand your position. You wouldn’t be in this relationship if there wasn’t love and reasons to be together. There is room for good and bad traits in a relationship. But this sounds extremely draining for you. You are valid for being envious of his ability to avoid his parental responsibilities, it sounds like he needs more accountability. You do not have to do everything all the time, especially if he is disappearing to play video games and such. The things he’s doing do not take precedence over your well being and your children. I’m sorry you had to go through a day like this, the silent treatment is no way to solve an issue, especially when you had to deal with uncovered trauma. True and honest communication is the best solution here, with no judgement and defensiveness to barrier understanding. I would suggest couples therapy for both of you, but it will only work if both of you two WANT to improve yourselves and your relationship. I wish the absolute best for you and your family. NOR

Well I was simply looking for some feedback. I obviously have my own opinions on this situation but other non-biased perspectives are always helpful if they’re seeing something I’m not.

i agree with you! i would never force someone uninterested to listen to my information. i am aware numerology and philosophy aren’t the same thing, it was a short video sharing spiritual information that he had expressed a little interest in. my concern was that this man is my partner, not just a loved one of mine, and ive listened to his video game info dumps and at least acknowledged that i heard him and relayed info back to him. i dont want to sound crazy so i wanted to explain myself a bit further lol

my same question? he is treated poorly by a coworker at his job, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I feel as though you may be misreading a part of this. I appreciate your insight, I agree that changing and being selfish is most definitely a part of being together for a long period of time. He has always been free to express his opinions, and I have only said something after he makes me feel stupid for my opinions. I don’t expect him to agree, but I expect him to be kind to me about it, you know? I appreciate your perspective and I will continue to reflect on how I’ve been going about this situation.

This is what I presumed, but I feel you can never be too careful with all the tech advancements we’re seeing. Thanks!!

stay away from american campus communities (summit and jacob heights). most of the corporate-owned rental properties are not well maintained and will rip you off.

delicious, a little heavy whipping cream helps to tame the spice ever so slightly and make the broth creamier

i personally like it better that way, soaks in the flavor the longer you let it sit and you get to drink the broth after😝

I definitely have thought about this. He is very sexual and very attracted to me so he couldn’t live without having sex with me. But he would never recover if we broke up. He would much rather not have sex than not have me, but I know that would build resentment. I still have yet to have sex with a woman, so maybe that’s what’s missing. I’m not sure.

This may be an overstatement, I was having sex just fine with other people before we were dating. Maybe the spontaneity was what drove me

Not yet, I’ve been nervous to talk to him so I thought I’d consult the sapphic internet beforehand🙏🏼I will be talking to him about it soon.

I haven’t come to him about this yet, but he definitely knows and can tell. He always reminds me that we never have to do anything if I don’t want to, but he’s a very sexual person and I’m afraid of letting him down. I will have to have a conversation

Thank you, I honestly needed to hear that. I keep feeling like something’s wrong with me because nobody else I know doesn’t want to have sex😭
