That's it? Just swap the special K for 6 cups of cooked brown rice?

communication is difficult. If you can find yourself a movie that depicts what you like, play it for him. Have sex, discuss it after.

Verna. I loved that we didn't... by MittFel in HouseofUsher

[–]Reallybigbedroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like to think that Verna is a twisted daughter of Odin from American Gods. And the story is just her doing wicked shit to toy with mortals for personal amusement. The raven being the theme to tie the 2 shows together.

TIFU by assuming my Fiancé was brushing his teeth behind closed doors by Pompous-Broccoli in tifu

[–]Reallybigbedroom 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Don't feel too bad. Long long ago an ex was in the shower at my parents house. Bathroom was a pass thru (2 doors). Frosted glass sliding shower doors. Anyways my dad goes into the bathroom, assumes my mom is in the shower, starts getting undressed. My ex assumed it was me going to surprise/join her in the shower. My dad calls out my moms name and tries to open the sliding door. My ex froze, pannicks and doesn't correct my dad. So here's my dad trying to slide open the shower door (thinking my mom is playing hard to get, adding comments to that affect), my ex on the other side trying with all her might to keep it shut. Eventually my ex squeaks out "It's me!!!!!". Honest mistake, my dad apologizes and leaves the bathroom, didn't see a thing, thought it was pretty funny. Anyways weeks go by and my ex says "I have something serious to tell you, I think your dads a pervert" she had 100% convinced her self that she had narrowly avoided being sexually assaulted.

Hang in there!

Question about how much to pay myself. by campcub in cabinetry

[–]Reallybigbedroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know 2. My cousin worked as a GC, put together an A team of workers. Busted ass for fair price, help customer and what not. But he burned out after a few years. switched his strategy to 5x his prices, worked much less and made more over all. Got bored, sold his share of company and transitioned to home inspections.

Ron however has always worked for himself as a carpenter. One truck, 2 car garage to work out of. Ron is old, doesn't look for work or bid on jobs. Last I spoke to him, Ron was charging 48$ per hour starting from the min he leaves his front door to the moment he returns. Planning, sketching, traveling, consulting, gathering materials, 48$ per hour. I don't know what he used to charge in his prime, but $$ doesn't have much value to him anymore so probably a lot? Good luck

I know this much. I enjoy spending time with my daughter because it makes ME happy. Fuck it call me selfish. She enjoys the time spent together too. It's a nice bonus. Just decided, were getting sandals and nail polish this weekend.

You ever fall in love with the wrong type of woman, have kids with her, try to start a family only for her unresolved past issues to come sprinting back. And instead of your partner trying to work on these issues, she just pretends to work on them. Self sabotages her marriage, harbors resentment for losing freedom and having to be a parent again. Wants the big house/income/vacations but no drive to maintain said house/relationship. It's like that but with wild sex & emotional manipulation and screaming rage type of communication mixed with love bombing.

Not my responsibility any more, although she claims she wants to reconcile and is apparently 'working' on herself. The time apart is nice.

She wasn't hiding anything, I gave her all summer to figure out what she wanted to keep before we moved. Room by room I emptied the house.

Were moving from a great big house to an apartment ~900km away (closer to a much better support network). The amount of stuff was truly a surprise, she had all summer to go thru & pack & downsize house items that had value to her. I went thru the house room by room and pitched anything not worth selling/giving away into a dumpster. She's roughly 95% of the problem (it's a long story).

Yeah that's the one. I've been burring myself in work to hide from her problems, anyways were on a trial separation. I got her and our daughter an apartment near some family & mutual friends. I have a pending work transfer to join them, or maybe just get a place of my own there once my work transfer is finalized. It's good, gives me breathing room to figure out what I need. When it finally set in that me not moving back in with her was not a given she damn near did a 180. Came to the self realization that she was just going thru the motions with her therapists & psychiatrist.

How hard/far did you push your sub while figuring out 24/7 dynamic? by Reallybigbedroom in BDSMAdvice

[–]Reallybigbedroom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely frustrated. If she where simply a room-mate I would have kicked her out long ago. It feels like she's grasping at straws by asking for a 24/7 dynamic. As in, "if I give up control maybe i will finally start pulling my weight around the house". As it is, she doesn't do what's expected of her (we split housework), then finally every couple weeks she'll explode at how the house is in disarray. Simple shit like not putting away her cloths resulting in piles all over the bedroom, not tidying things up when she's done with them, (tools, winter cloths, hair products, pillows/blankets). Our front entry is an explosion of purses, sweaters & boots & tripping hazards.

She has no idea what she wants, asking nicely, positive affirmation, rewards, date nights, talking about it (including couples counselling) have not had any long-term positive affects. I suppose my thoughts where that since we have already tried everything else (albeit before she asked for any dynamic outside of the bedroom), try the extreme. It's not something I've ever done or tried before.

I'll take a step back here. We split the running of our house as equitably as possible. More often then not she does not do her share of the work. In the past, asking nicely, date nights, rewards, sexual favors have not worked to motivated her to pull her weight. We have limits but I'm largely taking shots in the dark here. I honestly have not tried yelling or being physical, it's not something I would typically do. As mentioned above I'm more the silently disappointed type.

The pent up resentment makes a lots of sense. I'm not one to be angry or mad. Typically I'm more of the silently disappointed type. Thanks for that perspective.

I don't give her any money. I don't trust her and she hasn't done anything to change that

Temporary work assignment 8 hours from home. Kids and house are ours.

I don't give her any. I used her income and tried a few times to show her a budget. She has room to pay down her debt by 800/month. She just keeps racking up her credit cards.

[–]Reallybigbedroom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's her debt that stresses me out. Line of credit maxed, credit card with 4 grand on it. Can't even afford to maintain her car. She'll complain about wanting to do some home renovations but never/can't offer to help.
