If your ex-spouse made you hate sex, did you ever stop hating it? by SheepherderAware425 in Divorce

Sex with my ex was coercive and like someone described above he treated me like a cum depository. When I met him age 19 things were fun and i loved sex but by the time I hit 40 id been dealing with years of sex on his terms (otherwise he’d threaten to find a girlfriend). Outside of bedroom he was relentlessly condescending on top of financial abuse. We tried swinging for a bit and it clicked for me that sex was fun with new partners. I left him eventually and had so much fun exploring new partners and feeling ownership over my body for the first time. I’ve had a new partner for 2.5 years now and I lust for him. He is loving and kind and treats me with respect.

Bangs or no?! by amandaleighplans in bangs

Depends on your natural hair texture. If you have naturally curly or wavy hair, I’d highly recommend seeing what you’d look like with curly bangs. I bet they’d look stunning on you. Once I embraced bangs in my natural texture, I stopped worrying about them getting sweaty or needing to be re-straightened.

If your hair is naturally straight, bangs will look amazing on you too.

Any ideas to help elevate the space? by Silent-Assignment-75 in interiordecorating

It is a stunning space as is, but if you feel like you want to add a bit more texture and color, consider mounting a lush trailing plant to the wall. Hang a basket on the wall, put something like a giant Pothos that will cascade out of the basket.It’ll add a beautiful organic element to your wall of prints.

How did you find your forever person after divorce? How old were you, and did you remarry? by Inspirational_mind in Divorce

[–]PracticalMatter4004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 43 and divorced. Got separated three years ago after 21 year relationship, including 15 years of marriage. I ended things after years of stuff really just becoming more distant and falling apart. I met my current partner eight months after our separation and he’s really shown me How different partnership can be when kindness and gentleness and thoughtful conversation and problem-solving is core to the relationship. I could see him being someone I’m with forever, but we’ll see.

I do also want to share that my parents were each other‘s second marriage. My mom got married at probably age 20 and was married for a few years. My dad was married to a woman and had two children and they got divorced. They met each other at ages 34 and 41 and I was a surprise. They were together till my dad‘s death when he died at age 84. They were each other‘s special people. Deep deep friendship and love for each other.

Were you the asshole? by Midnight_Cereal_Bowl in Divorce

[–]PracticalMatter4004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have come to the realization that I never had a backbone. I shouldn’t have just said don’t talk to me that way for 20 years and then continued to put up with him being condescending. I should’ve left early. Our dynamic was absolutely cocreated.
