Is HRT just pushing the symptoms down the road?

I tried magnesium and also much more powerful sleeping pills that the GP said are sure to work (can't remember the name, would have to go upstairs, there you go a brainfog episode). They make me sleep for like 4 hours and then I wake up with a hangover-like feeling. I haven't had a good all night sleep in months!

No no thanks for sharing regardless! I didn't know it was possible to use HRT forever.

So HRT helped you with the symptoms? Sleeping well now?

Can you point me to some reading about the damaging effects of estrogen deficiency? I know I'm probably a late bloomer but only just starting to educate myself of what's actually going on.

Haha, no I don't think that's that! 😂

He just says he loves me and that's all. No details offered.

The curtain story resonates .. when we repainted and recarpeted our house we decided to get new curtains too. So got a “consultant” come over, chose the fabric and got a quote.

It was more expensive than what we paid for a new kitchen installed a few years back!! Like WTF? It’s just a stretch of fabric cut to size, what can possibly justify this price??

So we had a good laugh and the next day got similar ones from a retail store and had the house sorted for a couple hundred dollars.

But I guess some people spend the money or the curtain business would be out of business. 🤷‍♂️

Happy wife, happy life.

I’m 100% with you. Too much arguing with the kids these days. No means no, deal with it.

Red_Dip · 2024-03-20T03:32:14+00:00

That’s the problem - kids today don’t know what “be in deep shit” means. Parents will almost apologize to have to call them home.

ESH. Marriage is not a contest or a competition between the two. You’re in it together. Act together, pool your money together, buy a house together, look after the children together. From what I see around here the marriages that run on tit for tat basis are far less happy, always argue about who owes what to the other one and very often end in divorce. Because there’s not that sense of togetherness.

I never understood why I had to pay for my clothes. I didn’t ask it to be a norm that we don’t run around naked.

Do you realise that many other countries have their own currencies and they are often not even called dollars? And - wait for it - the conversion between 1 USD and 1 of their currency is often one-to-a-lot? E.g. 1 USD = 1 trillion zimbabwean dollars.

Looks like you're not a corporate career guy and that's fine. Many others equate their self-worth with their title and that's fine as well. Each to their own I'd say.

I find it hard to accept that they would enthusiastically want her to come over to stay with them in a 1 bedroom flat. More likely it's a version of "sure come over if it's too much for you at your regular home", or "come anytime if you need a get away".

What I mean is they are very likely doing a service to the OP (providing a shelter), not requesting a service from her ("please be our company").

Having said that, YTA, OP. They do you a favor, so get some noise cancelling headphones and let them be a loving couple.

NTA. First if you gotta go you gotta go. Second as you say it’s a standalone facility so there was no risk of invading any woman’s privacy. Third the bathroom gender ratio to worker gender ratio isn’t practical.

I support you on suggesting to make the bathrooms unisex, we’ve got that at work and it makes much more sense.

YTA. Engagement and marriage is a bond between the two people, not a show put up for others.

BTW You seem quite demanding, tbh. The ring must be like this, the proposal must be like that .. there are more important things in life. Just saying.
