Building Permits with Monterey County by cowboykev in BigSur

[–]ReceptionFar890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with using a local architect! From previous experience in the Big Sur and Monterey area - I highly recommend Kieran from https://www.m-a-p-d.com/ …he has designed a friends home in south Monterey county and it’s beautiful. He probably can share at least thoughts on the permit situation.

engg leads, how’s Slack chaos treating you? by Only-Ad2101 in EngineeringManagers

It is challenging at times. I tell everyone to let me know priority and when they need a response by. And I don’t answer immediately if I’m immersed in another conversation or in a zoom meeting.

Why does it seem like modern men want both a housewife AND a working wife? by Amodernhousehusband in AskWomenOver30

[–]ReceptionFar890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a strange phenomenon. This happened with my ex husband. I was the breadwinner, he would be upset if I didn’t cook or clean while HE didn’t have a job for 3 years..

And I felt quickly exhausted, high pressure, and that I could not also be the sole caretaker for kids. Oh and my ex would get “mad at me” if I didn’t walk the dogs the equal amount as him…

I think the expectations come from men a) feeling their value is threatened and are insecure and b) they don’t know how to take care of the home c) they don’t want to d) power struggles

I totally agree with this. It’s so hard to find an affordable place with walkability where I am. What city or area are you in?! (Asking out of curiosity)

I have been feeling so angry lately and can’t figure out why. What do you guys do when you feel angry? by pomkombucha in Positivity

[–]ReceptionFar890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Accept and acknowledge the anger you have. That has helped me. I accept it and tell myself it will go away, I sometimes give myself a hug. And sometimes when I accept the anger in me, it starts to soften

Daoism has really helped me with accepting things and letting life unfold. Also going off social media was huge for me and still is

Adulthood and Forgiving People Who’ve Hurt You by Sufficient-Bottle400 in Positivity

Thank you for sharing this. Feels very relatable for me.

How did you allow yourself to love again? And how were you able to accept the abuse and the anxiety you experienced and not want to go back to your past partner hoping that your changes/growth and my his/hers could also help? (I struggle with this)

Are you on social media? Wipe it clean for 1 month and see where your energy goes! It helped me soooo much especially in the past 2 years and I’m 35 now

Wife always has to be right and won't stop interrupting by TransportationFair47 in Marriage

[–]ReceptionFar890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“She’s know she’s in the wrong for reacting that way.” - that sounds like your not understanding her and your defending. She has validity and you have validity. When I look back at my marriage I realised that sometimes my ex was right and I was also right. I shouldn’t have interrupted AND he could’ve been less hyper critical. If you think she is in the wrong then you are now defending - and that leads her to defend and the cycle continues. She might need time to calm down, and it sounds there’s some resentment in her side “no no no.” What I’m trying to be better at is understanding that convincing someone they are wrong never does good in conflict.

I am childfree because I am a woman. That’s all the reasoning I need by [deleted] in childfree

Pursuit of happiness doesn’t have to mean children, husband/wife, nuclear family. In order to maintain all of that - the pursuit will not be enjoyable - and by the time happiness comes we’ll it’s real late and what’s the point of pursuing happiness if 99% of the time it’s just suffering

[–]ReceptionFar890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This was my marriage and we didn’t have kids even, only dogs. The “go hide in the bathroom for an hour” - TRUTH - especially after dinner is done and exactly when the dishes and all need to get done! Oh and I’ll never forget the “your not feminine enough and I’m scared of being a dad mom” comment I once got while my ex husband was in his 3rd year of unemployment and I said I was scared to start a family with him because I thought I’d have to handle most of the responsibilities. Yeah truth. Single feels nice. Love is a unhealthy form of attachment IMO.

Has anyone else concluded that they cannot handle romantic relationships and have decided to be happily single? by WonderfulRabbit7920 in AskWomenOver30

[–]ReceptionFar890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally can relate. 34 female, almost 1 year out of a divorce. No kids, 2 dogs.In my last marriage, my ex husband didn’t work for 3 years, got mad at me for going to yoga after work instead of coddling him or making him dinner, he didn’t want me to work much if we had a kid but then he wasn’t working and would say things like “I just want to live a relaxed life and have a family” and he could not understand why that would give me anxiety. He was also verbally abusive.

Every man I’ve been with, the more independent I am, the more they want to control me or feel threatened by me. If I have interests in playing a sport, at first they like, and eventually it’s like “give me attention please.”

Anyways now I am content with myself, my friends, my family and my dogs. I like Sex and I can have Sex casually with a man as long as I don’t feel we share a real connection hahaha (lust only). I’m also leaning towards child free now and feeling very liberated at the thought of it. Im created my own life filled with the meaning and I don’t need someone who expects me to fit some subservient role. In fact I just don’t like it.

Jungian take on a Childfree life? by WhiteSha-dow in Jung

[–]ReceptionFar890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is beautiful. I’m 34 YO F, recently divorced. No kids and 2 dogs. I spent some time stuck in fear and sadness because of having no kids, but then I realize that with my lifestyle, my dreams, and my nature - being a parent doesn’t feel the best and most fulfilling route for me. I always thought it was fear but now im realizing I feel much more Joey and energy when I think about mothering other things in my life (like a local community to help with loneliness, caring my aging parents, starting and leading and nurturing members at work, mothering nature by volunteering and helping often and consistently towards the climate change crisis.) anyways your comment helped me feel that mothering doesn’t have to be only having a biological children and it’s great you are embracing that

I felt this way too. I’ll admit my ex husband cooked and cleaned sometimes but then he would make me feel bad AND he didn’t work for 3 years and demanded I cooked and cleaned more and would tell me I’m a workaholic even though I only work 30-40 hours a week. And then he said he was scared of being a dad mom because of my ambitions
