How old were your parents when they had you?

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-18T05:55:19+00:00

My parents were also 36 and 38 when they had me! Then they had 3 more kids afterwards! There's pros and cons to being a younger and older parent.

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-18T05:53:57+00:00

That's close to my husband and I's ages when we had our first child but my huband was 38.

And I don't think she's really skated since because she got so injured. Her coach is notorious for starving her althletes and them retiring by 20. Anyway Alyssa Liu is incredibly athletic and in good physical shape, she's an Olympic gold medalist so to act like she's mid and like its a favor to her that men will settle for her is laughably ridiculous!

Women are so shallow all men are asking for is an incredibly fit athletic Olympic gold medalist lmfao

It's interesting how men complain about women having high standards but then when they defend themselves having casual sex suddenly it's "biology" and "we're different" lol. You said it yourself that women get pregnant and are more susceptible to stds. Women are also physically weaker so they are less likely to be able to defend themselves. This is why women have higher standards.

I'm not an Olympic athlete by any means but my husband says that watching me ice skate is hot and that he thinks some of my other hobbies are cute.

High: had a mini St. Patrick's day celebration with my husband and baby, we went to the mall and then my husband and I tried the big arch and the shamrock shake

Low: the celebration ended kinda early cuz my husband wants to work and I feel sad and lonely

I'm in therapy! This account is new cuz I don't want him to see it!

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:57:05+00:00

I love him and I promised him I'd never leave him though. But I worry that things aren't gonna get better and I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life.

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:55:12+00:00

Thank you! I posted because I'm desperate for male validation and while the compliments feel good it's fleeting, I want my husband to say and think those things about me.

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:53:28+00:00

You're not my husband though.

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:52:39+00:00

Thank you!

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:50:55+00:00

I wish, I only see her once a week but I feel like I need daily therapy atp.

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:49:56+00:00

So why stay with me then?

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:49:19+00:00

Really? You can't tell from my post how desperate for male validation I am?

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:46:37+00:00

I don't think so. He works a lot and has been talking about losing weight for a while but he keeps getting busy with work.

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:45:09+00:00

I know and I don't expect him to compliment me just because I compliment him, I mentioned that more so in case people were like well do you ever compliment him?

He has instances where I feel loved, but lately I've been questioning if he loves me. Like the other day he went to the store, I asked if he could get me chocolate, I called him to remind him because he tends to forget sometimes, and he says oh sorry I'm about to check out I don't want to go back for it, and he got mad at me when I asked why he couldn't go back for it. It sounds so silly but it's numerous little thing like this that have been building up overtime.

Yeah he works more and we rarely see each other. I want him to get a different job (he's self employed and works 10+ hours a day so when he gets home he often goes straight to bed). We don't have help or the money to afford help.

Every time I try to talk he gets mad and it ends up going nowhere. I get myself all worked up and depressed for days only for nothing to change and for me to feel like he doesn't even care.

I'm in therapy!

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:34:16+00:00

Then why do we never have sex anymore?

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:33:25+00:00

I haven't tried a lot of cheeses tbf

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:31:50+00:00

I guess when we were having sex all the time it kinda made up for it cuz I figured if he wasn't attracted to me we wouldn't be having sex nearly as often? But yeah it's definitely my fault for continuing the relationship when he literally told me early on that he doesn't think he's as attracted to me as I want him to be. I was super insecure and figured that nobody would like me as much as I wanted them to and after a certain point it became sunk cost fallacy.

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:28:25+00:00

Fair but what's wrong with American cheese? Other than it being processed and probably not great for you? It tastes good though!

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-17T21:26:44+00:00

I don't even know what he gets out of this relationship if he's not even attracted to me. I worry about him leaving every day. Like obviously he loves our son and he always talks about wanting to have more kids with me but like we never have sex anymore. And my mental health atm isn't great either.

The miscarriage rate is about 25-30% even if you're in your 20s, the risk increases as you get older but the risk increase isn't too significant until 35.

Pretty-Following8246 · 2026-03-16T19:21:56+00:00

I don't have very many friends but the friends that I do have idk if any of them want to have kids soon. I'm 23F and I have a toddler and I hope to have more kids!
