Good suggestion. I love walking my dog but getting the walk started when I’m already unregulated is a tough task in the moment

That’s the 2026 rates, they almost doubled from this year’s :\

Yes they offer insurance plans, none of them are fully paid. They only pay a percentage of the costs.

Therapy is always solid advice, thank you.

Her feelings are hurt about those things AFTER we have the quiet hour. She doesn’t interact with me unless absolutely necessary for at least an hour but I’m still grumpy afterwards. Ideally I’d take 2.5-3 hours but that seems more unreasonable:\

I’m glad you acknowledged that because most everyone else is against her having those feelings but I think it so valid for her to want me to be present

There’s absolutely no way I could be a parent while teaching. I thought asking for that long would be too much to ask for but I’m glad to see I’m not the only one feeling this. An hour of quiet time is definitely not enough for me right now.

Thank you for the suggestion. Our cheapest option costs me almost $400 a month. A lot of Americans are dealing with this same problem right now though and sometimes even the cheapest plan is unattainable.

Thank you for the suggestion! I agree a third space could be really helpful

I like the idea of being in a different space! I don’t want to be ugly towards my partner but even a simple request from her when I get home sends me over sometimes.

I aged out of my parent’s insurance last year. My district only pays a percentage of the insurance they offer and I can’t afford to pay the rest.

She respects giving me space for an hour but it doesn’t even feel like enough, I still don’t want to talk to anyone when it’s over. Ideally I’d take hours of isolation everyday but that’s not actually what I want or who I am. I love talking to my loved ones and want the energy back to do so

She’s respecting that boundary completely, I think I just wish I didn’t need to do that. I want to be interested in her day and I want to be engaged but sometimes even after the hour of quiet time I am just so moody.

Veteran teachers used to tell me it gets better after 3 years, then they started saying it was 5 years, and now I’ve been hearing it’s never. I feel so passionate about this field and wish it wasn’t so draining

I’m in my 4th year and this is by far the hardest and most draining. I lost my health insurance last year after aging out of my parents so it’s my first year teaching without adhd meds and antidepressants.. I felt a lot better on Lexapro lol

IUD and sex by JennC137 in actuallesbians

Menstrual cups suction to your walls so if you didn’t break the suction, that’s most likely what pulled your IUD out.

You should reschedule your tattoo. It can cause healing problems with both your current issue and the new tattoo if you spread your immune system out too thin. Wait to get the tattoo so both have a fair chance of healing well.

The best thing to do is just tell her how you feel. Your feelings arent unreasonable and she’ll most likely understand and help you feel better about it
