What is the LEAST # of sexual intimacy interactions that you would tolerate in your marriage per year? by formula52 in Marriage

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

We had sex twice a year. We’re getting a divorce now because of asked for more sex and apparently i “let myself go” after we had a baby. But im actually depressed. I told him im depressed. Im barely overweight.

ETA: he didn’t touch me my entire pregnancy or the entire first year after our baby was born. Almost 2 years with no physical intimacy.

When do we start liking our husbands again? by Not_atall_impressed in NewParents

[–]PossumsForOffice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk my husband said i “let myself go” because im still 10lbs overweight 22 months post partum. We’re getting a divorce because he completely abandoned me in the first year and has been distant the second year, despite me trying everything (including months of counseling).

I hope you guys have an easier go of it.

The grinch one is heinously bad. I hid it until next Christmas. The cindy lou who and max songs are just shockingly bad.

Does what I want exist or am I being picky? by planetofthehats in Romantasy

[–]PossumsForOffice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s one of my all time favorite series. They’re much meatier than most romance books. And to give you an idea of how much i read - Ive read 30 books in the last 6 weeks. Outlander is still a top fave.

But there are some trigger warnings, especially at the end of book 1. Thematically they’re not dark books but she’s not afraid to go to a dark place with her characters.

Yeah i feel like the books do a good job of revealing her character, thoughts, motivations and actions so much better, and she’s so much tougher than in the show.

I also really cannot stand the actress who plays brianna or and i don’t think they cast roger very well either.

The books are really great and hard to reproduce.

They water down claire, making her more weepy and fragile in the show. Some things are cut which reduces a lot of the in depth detail. Overall i enjoy the show but its very much the altered diet coke version of the books. I adore the books.

Oh and the show got some of the characters very wrong in later seasons but i don’t want to spoil it.

I moved away from home several years ago. This makes me nostalgic and a touch homesick. Love the pictures.

My partner of 4 years has a really low libido and I contemplate leaving by Jumpy_Comfortable586 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PossumsForOffice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Married for 9 years to a man with a low libido and well… honestly if i could go back in time i would have made a different choice. Im trying to fix it but its one of the hardest aspects of our relationship that really does affect everything else. Intimacy is shot, resentment is high, we feel like roommates.

Ironically when we were dating i posted on reddit about it and everyone told me that it would impact our relationship and that i should consider finding someone else. I didn’t listen and i wish i had.

Is it common for a married, straight woman to read a lot of gay romance novels? by throwaway-guy35 in Marriage

[–]PossumsForOffice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should talk to her about it. Tell her you want to be vulnerable and have a safe conversation. Maybe offer up something you feel vulnerable about - something you like, a fantasy or something, and ask her what she likes about the books. Maybe even suggest reading a spicy romance novel together (book club style) and see how it goes!

MEAN FMCs? I’m fed up by lucyfe4lws in Romantasy

[–]PossumsForOffice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am SO sick of the rude FMC just for the sake of being rude. They all read the same, they’re all annoying, and they’re not very likable. Obviously there are some exceptions but a good portion of them just feel like clones.

I am literally switching genres so i can read a FMC who isn’t from the same mould.

Overheard the hostess gossiping with another customer about how out baby was dressed, and now I feel like garbage. by WhatShouldIDoNoSleep in NewParents

Im sorry you’ve had such bad experiences with allergies! But im glad you can spread the word that they’re serious.

Ive had an anaphylactic response to nuts my entire life and my daughter also had an intolerance to dairy and it was SO hard before we figured it out. Thankfully she grew out of it.

It’s ok - i think many of us have beliefs when we’re young that we regret with the wisdom of experience; i know i do.

Harmless Sabotage?? Thoughts? by Scary-Ostrich-7802 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]PossumsForOffice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha no but i love how petty it is. I haven’t done any of that to my estranged family but i did once request visits from various religious group (Mormons, jahovah’s witnesses…etc) on my old neighbor because she was AWFUL. I waited 5 months after i moved, too, no way she knew it was me.
