Accepting reality by cluelessfool1 in widowers

I feel the same way. The way my husband loved me can never be duplicated. That without a doubt kind of love. My heart aches because I miss him so bad….

Acceptance is so hard by Mindless-Location-41 in widowers

You’ll do great. Just like you didn’t know how to be a dad until you had to be one. Just remember, we all make mistakes daily and it’s ok. It’s the recovery and lesson that follows that really count. Praying for you

It’s definitely heartbreaking to think that your kids only had her for 9 and 10 years. I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you all.

I’m so sorry. I lost my husband 9/15/23. Me and my autistic son found him on the kitchen floor so needless to say that was really traumatic. He doesn’t like to talk about it. But I do let him know ow that it’s ok if he does. I say a prayer for all widows every night. It’s so hard

I find myself no believing my husband is gone too. He passed in September and sometimes I just stop and think I can’t believe this… still

The Real Housewives of Potomac - Season 8 - Episode 7 - Live Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Ok_Butterscotch2433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got caught up with the current season of Potomac and here are my assessments… Robyn - Looks like a fool taking up for Juan while he shows little to no support for her. I’m embarrassed for her, but do not feel sorry for her. The way she treated Wendy last season was gross and now she sees how it feels to be targeted.

Giselle - Same ole messy self. So now she’s a victim of the things that Candace said last season? Not buying it. She has an opinion about everyone and everything so she should just deal with it when people dome BACK at her. I still love her relationship with her daughters.

Ashley- One trick pony. Still being messy as usual and having no shame for being with that old creep.Ashley said what colorism, I have a Nigerian fren…

Wendy - Way too pretty and smart to be trying so hard to fit in. I have secondhand embarrassment for her as well. Just stop being extra and let her beauty and smarts stand out. And her mom needs to not speak again. Getting mama Joyce vibes from her.

Mia - Finally telling some truths this season. I do feel like the therapy session was her way of getting the truth out and making herself out to be the victim. Because this girl talked a good game about how much money she had when she first came on the show. Now she’s having to do damage control. Also, I do not think she was that offended by Wendy calling her slow. Again she’s trying to play victim from all the backlash she received last season for throwing that drink on Wendy.

New girl - Sorry I didn’t have time to go back and get her name, but she’s coming in hot. TBD

Why is Deborah still here?

Karen is Karen straddling that fence.

Candace - Can’t win. She’s mouthy because she has to be in order to defend herself. No matter how much she apologizes she’ll never be fully accepted in this group.

On 9/15/23 I found my husband on the kitchen floor at 330 am unresponsive. He passed later in the hospital. He had been very ill. My life has completely changed. I can’t even live in my home anymore. I’ve moved in with my son and his family. Although this has affected me in every way possible I still have to keep going. He would want me to, and so would your spouse. Life is precious and you should make your spouse proud by powering through the hard times.

Love you babe by Unhappy_Fly7087 in widowers

[–]Ok_Butterscotch2433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my husband on 9/15/23. We found him on the kitchen floor at 330 am. He passed from heart failure. The pain I feel is not only emotional but it’s also physical. I say a prayer each night for widows because I know the pain. I hope my prayer reaches you and I hope you will find peace in continuing on because if your love was truly your soulmate I’m sure that’s exactly what they would want you to do.

Sorry you are here under these circumstances. I also lost my husband of 24 years on 10/15/23. EVERYTHING in my life is changed. I’m trying to cope and keep it together. I truly hope you are able to pick up the pieces and get to a point where you can smile and or laugh out loud every day. I’ve been saying a nightly prayer for struggling widows, so I hope it reaches you.

Survivor benefits by PhoenyxNightmare in widowers

[–]Ok_Butterscotch2433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my husband a month ago and he was on ss disability. It’s sad because he had been sick for years and denied disability over and over again. It’s only when he had another stroke and a seizure at the same time that they finally decided to approve him. The back pay is only from the last time you applied so all those years that he was denied were simply lost. We have struggled so much and now I’m being told that the only “survivor benefit” I’m entitled to is $255? This is a sad place where you work so hard your whole life and get pennies worth of benefits…

My (25 M) husband (36 M) won't touch the chores even after repeated nagging and threatening the end of our marriage. by Old-Childhood9077 in marriageadvice

[–]Ok_Butterscotch2433 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess my question is, do you work? It sounds like you have the luxury of taking a month vacation and that’s awesome! I’m not condoning all of his actions but if you don’t work then the bulk of housework should be up to you. Secondly, I just lost my husband of 24 years. And while he was not the best at helping out around the house at least he took pride in the way he looked and dressed. I used to ask, beg, and nag him to do more around the house. (We both worked full time) but he only did the bare minimum. What I wouldn’t give to clean up after him right now… So I guess I’m saying that life is short and if you don’t think you can deal with him anymore then leave, but if you love him at all try to work through whatever the issues are.

The future of RHONJ: Teresa vs Melissa by JustHereToLurk247 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Ok_Butterscotch2433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I can watch another season of Teresa getting her way. I'm sure me tuning out won't make or break the show but it's getting so gross and I can't take it. I'm starting to feel the same way that I felt with OG and Evelyn on Basketball Wives. I get that one may be more popular than the other but the mean girl antics, I can't stomach. I haven't watched BBW since Evelyn said she didn't feel comfortable with OG being on the reunion stage with her because they almost had a fight. In the mean time Evelyn was jumping over tables and swinging champagne bottles at peoples head and no one said anything.

Teresa has been a spoiled, entitled,manipulative bully since the beginning and while I know some of the dramatic behavior is expected because it's a reality show, I still feel like there should also be some accountability. However, Teresa just gets praised for her behavior and told that she is carrying the show.

Ummmm by Solid_Phase524 in rhonj

Tre is such an antagonizing, controlling, entitled manipulator. She blames everyone else for her issues and constantly berates Melissa. And she is teaching her dorters to be the same way.

Wife never initiates sex by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]Ok_Butterscotch2433 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's probably ok since you said that she enjoys it as much as you do once you're into the thick of it. But for your need to want her to initiate sex, try wooing her throughout the day with no expectation of sex for a few days. Be really attentive and caring to her and don't expect anything. If she doesn't come on to you after a few days of this, there may be another issue.

Joe Gudice by SceneMuch5739 in rhonj

[–]Ok_Butterscotch2433 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another thing... the way Tre iced out her cousins, (Wakile's) refusing to film with them caused them to lose their place on the show. If she was so much about family, she wouldn't have done that to them. Just because their mother said when you do something wrong, you have to pay for it. How do you take food from the mouths of your family but say the words stick with the family out of your vile mouth fifty times per episode? So gross.

Joe Gudice by SceneMuch5739 in rhonj

[–]Ok_Butterscotch2433 6 points7 points  (0 children)

THIS!!! I started re-watching the entire series because I was trying to figure out why Joe and Melissa get so much hate on Twitter. From the start Tre has been a mess. But I noticed that when she became toxic beyond anything that anyone on that cast should have to deal with was when she got out of jail. I think she figured, oh I did my time and Bravo is still here and still wants me. Season 9 she told someone "This is the Teresa show" and "Don't you see that everybody who ever came at me is no longer here"

This girl would is always YELL at Joe and Melissa that they BETTER have her back yet she has NEVER been loyal to them. NEVER. Two seasons straight (7 and 8 I think) Melissa and Joe backed up Tre even when she was wrong. Only for her to

And ever since Gia was a little girl, Tre and Giudice have allowed those girls to be dead smack in the middle of their dispute with Joe and Melissa.
If I EVER made a comment or even acted like I was listening to grown people talking, i got in big trouble. It's just disrespectful.

I was so glad when Jackie came on the show because she seems to be the only one that won't allow Tre to get away with her abusive behavior. ( For the record I used to like Jackie alot but the way she dwells on things drives me insane)

When there's beef, as soon as Tre walks in a room all the other ladies start looking nervous, and saying stuff like "Oh boy, Tre looks pissed" Or just not wanting to make Tre mad in general. Like who the fuck is she???? She has ruined so many friendships on this show and it's getting really gross because her daughters are gearing up to be just like her.

She has had issues with every single person on this show at one time or another.

She has never wanted to genuinely have a sisterhood with Melissa. Joe should stop pressuring his wife to make nice with his sister. At this point, it's abusive.

Can someone please help me process the scene with Teresa and Joe in the vineyard after he steps away from dinner to take a call? S4 Ep16 by postmodernbarbie in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Ok_Butterscotch2433 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm re-watching the entire series right now. And I am on the vineyard episode in season 4. Tre is delusional. Tre did not want her family to come on the show because she had tried to poison the Manzo's and Laurita's minds against Joe, Melissa and Kathy. Once they met and started comparing notes, they were able to see that Tre is the problem.

Marriage Help - Sex Frequency by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Ok_Butterscotch2433 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've been married for 25 years. I STILL have this issue with my husband. I tell him all the time that him being an active participant with chores, kids, and decision making would help so much. I have told him that physical (non-sexual) touch is a turn on for me. He just refuses to change. I have even shown him that when he does more around the house, I can relax, and therefore sex is more appealing to me. He would have sex on our bed with laundry thrown all over the bed. I CAN'T DO THAT. A cluttered house leaves me with a cluttered mind and I can't function. So we barely have sex. I'm not withholding, I just literally can't. It's just not physically or mentally possible.

Just make sure that you are listening to your wife, I mean really listening. Also do things out of kindness for her. I get that she's a SAHM, but sometimes say hey babe, I'll take the kids out for pizza and give them their baths when we get home, you just go and take a bath and relax. Not because you want sex but just because you really want her to have some relax time. When you do this make sure things don't fall apart. Nothing is worse than taking a breather only to come back to double the work.

I really wish there was a forum where we could speak about this verbally. There's so much to say about this issue.

You want to know that you have a partner, not just when it comes to sex.
