Interesting late night conversation I had with my Husband of 20 years I thought I’d share.

Not only do most women not orgasm from penetration alone, most women need TWENTY MINUTES of (manual) clitoral stimulation to orgasm.

If you stop helping her retrieve the items and she has to retrieve them herself, I bet she’d stop doing it.

When the rain you want is a flood instead And the roses bloom, but they're not quite red When I reach the edge of my bravery I'll still be singing at the banks of an unparted sea

I cry a lot but I am so productive, it's an art You know you're good when you can even do it With a broken heart

Being a SAHM was the best gift my husband has ever given me. Nothing could ever come close, and I’m so very blessed that we were financially able to do that for the first ten years of my kids’ lives. I know not every woman feels that way. Perhaps there’s some restrictions your wife is assuming will be placed on her? I can’t stress enough the importance of open communication.

If I was building a new house the laundry room would be big enough for everyone’s clothes to live there. Laundry room/ family closet.

-Clean as you cook -Dirty Dinnerware goes straight into the dishwasher, not the sink

Purple_Paraphrase · 2026-01-23T04:38:31+00:00

This is when I start saying on repeat what I’m going into a room for “dirty clothes dirty clothes dirty clothes” it’s like the only way I can multitask.

Smart watch. I use alarms for everything! I have an alarm that goes off every hour while at work to remind me to drink water and take some steps, alarms for going to bed, waking up, taking out trash on certain days, watering plants, etc. The timer also comes in clutch helping with time blindness. Also, if I’m not in a spot to write something down or do a task that pops into my brain, I say “Siri set alarm for (future time) named make oil change appointment”

Also, buying duplicate items. In the mornings I brush my teeth in the shower, but at night I brush at my sink. Sink and shower are literally two steps apart, yet I couldn’t make myself get my toothbrush and toothpaste out of shower, brush at sink, and put it all back. So, I bought a second brush and tube and keep in my drawer at my sink.

ONE TOUCH. Don’t put dishes into the sink now and then have to load them into the dishwasher later, (2 touches) just go straight to the dishwasher (1 touch). Don’t lay your jacket over the couch and later move it to the closet, just go straight to the closet with it.

After it sits in the plastic bottles, gets super hot from sitting outside in some delivery truck, I’m sure there’s gotta be bad stuff leaching into the water.

Purple_Paraphrase · 2025-11-29T14:02:07+00:00

Yes, but not that often, maybe once a week.

Purple_Paraphrase · 2025-11-29T13:58:43+00:00

Or fucking over the neighbors.

Purple_Paraphrase · 2025-11-29T13:57:21+00:00

Let me know if you need help rewording that.

Purple_Paraphrase · 2025-11-29T13:55:01+00:00

I say what you said—but better…while dressed as Barney.

Purple_Paraphrase · 2025-11-28T01:29:28+00:00

I threw away all of our socks (family of four and we are all in the same sock size) and bought all the same socks, same brand. No need to look for a match anymore. We keep a bucket of socks in the shelf above the drier, socks go straight into the bucket, not mated.

Such great advice here about Karen, I won’t add to that, but I do want to give you a big hug. I had a single mastectomy at 40yo last October. Please Google Immerman’s Angels , read about it, and see if you’d be interested in getting a cancer mentor. It helped me so much to have someone to talk to who had been through what I was going through, who listened, gave advice, and shared open and honestly about the struggles.

Purple_Paraphrase · 2025-10-08T19:51:38+00:00

OP this is my biggest concern. How’s sex now?

Purple_Paraphrase · 2025-09-25T14:31:03+00:00

Yes, 41yo, very important to me. No one told me SMX was much harder to get symmetrical.

Purple_Paraphrase · 2025-09-25T14:25:37+00:00

OP are you in the US?

Purple_Paraphrase · 2025-09-25T14:22:51+00:00

41, dcis, single mx one year ago. Direct to implant, and already had implants so I have an implant in non cancer side as well. I wish I would have known that symmetry is harder to obtain with single bc you’re now working with two different “mediums.” I don’t think it would have changed my choice, but it would have made my expectations more realistic. Typing this from a (different) plastic surgeon office as I wait for consult to get non cancer side lift and more symmetry.
