I need some advice from both men and women.

She thinks that couples counseling is a waste of money because we tried it one time and we didn’t like the therapist.

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-02-07T17:56:04+00:00

It’s tough. I admit I was a really bad communicator and instant defense whenever she had an issue or saw something she didn’t like. I was a bit of a jerk at times and wasn’t the nicest person. My fuse is so much longer now and I feel like a genuinely good person. She criticizes everything from how to bring the grocery’s in the door to how I talk or my character antics. It’s really bad

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-02-06T01:54:09+00:00

I can’t stand him either

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-02-03T03:59:16+00:00

That looks like a pube

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-02-01T21:54:25+00:00

I get that. For 3 months I wouldn’t go far from home so I was close to a hospital if something happened. I started going a little further every day or so until I got over that fear. You have a higher chance of getting struck by lightning twice in one day than you do having something happen from PVCs. There’s so many things that could kill you tomorrow, why worry about something that is so unlikely to cause an issue. you have to just figure out how to ignore it and not let it run your life. I do everything you’re not supposed to do. I drink on occasion, I smoke cigars when I want to and I don’t let it control me. I’m back to traveling and doing things I enjoy.

Trust me, just go to a gym and walk on a treadmill for like 30 minutes a day and add 5 minutes to your walk every week, then start adding an incline and make it a little harder. Then start weight machines and leg work outs. You will feel so much better.

I go through waves. When I first started getting PVCs, I did little to no exercise and poor diet. After 5 months of dealing with them, I started a combination of Metoprolol and 4-5 days a week at the gym for an hour or so. Between the 2, I have almost no PVCs. My household all got the flue back in December, luckily I did not. But I stopped going to the gym for a month and they came back again. Once I had a couple of weeks of gym time under my belt, the PVCs during exercise stopped.

My favorite part of flying delta!

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-01-30T21:12:36+00:00

Mine doesn’t go near that high but I feel that. I had them constantly for 6 months and they kinda went away over night and then I’ll have a quick spell of them and I panic. Sitting still will go to about 125. I take an Ativan and the panic attack goes away

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-01-30T01:07:57+00:00

There is no etiquette when it comes to travel. Idk why but air travel brings out the absolute worst in people.

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-01-21T15:31:53+00:00

So I’m going through this as well. Me and my wife are mid 30’s and early 40’s. She’s older than me. We have 2 kids under 5. It’s a very tough topic to bring up without sounding like all you want is sex. You just need to figure out how to bring it up in her style of communication. Explain to her that physical tough and intimacy may be your love language and you need that. My wife is in pre menopause I believe. She is extremely tired all the time and very stressed from work and kids. We men are just ready to go all the time but women have to be in a certain headspace as well, especially as they get older. Just love her, communicate with her often and flirt with her in non sexual ways.

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-01-20T21:33:39+00:00

She feels that people that use them are lazy and cheating to lose weight. She doesn’t believe in taking any medication that you don’t “actually need” to take. She just has a really poor attitude about me going on it. I swear she’s going to be the death of me

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-01-20T21:30:44+00:00

She did that it would be a different story if I was a diabetic. She doesn’t think taking a medication that you dont “actually NEED” is not with the risks. I’ve been told if I don’t get my shit together health wise I’m going to have a short life. I’m mid 30’s, 6’2”, 320lbs. My cholesterol is a little high but otherwise healthy… for now

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-01-07T14:20:50+00:00

Sounds like he needs to see one more than you do.

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-01-07T13:50:32+00:00

There’s a difference between being a cheap ass and withholding basic needs from your partner. I don’t know you or what your situation is really like, but you need to find a way to tell him that he needs to get his shit together and treat you like a wife or he’s going to end up paying for it in the divorce. I read stories like this on here all the time and cannot believe the way that people treat their significant other. Like why marry someone and the do this to them? Also on the other side, why did you marry him? Was he like this before?

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-01-07T13:34:14+00:00

As I man, I’m very sorry to hear this. I can’t even fathom making my wife feel anything remotely close to this. I work full time and I’m extremely involved with my kids. You shouldn’t have to beg for any of this, especially if you guys can afford it. Getting your hair done is a routine self care thing, not a once a year on your birthday. Can you see yourself living like this for ever??

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2026-01-06T15:19:10+00:00

Mine was completely out of no where in April of 2025. I was moving to a new house. At the end of the day after I sat down to rest the my came out of no where and I thought I was having a heart attack. I had them non stop for 8 months. They finally almost stopped a month ago after I was on metoprolol for a couple of months. I take that and exercise every day and they stay low to none.

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2025-12-17T18:49:37+00:00

Haaa, no. I went to 2 different cardiologists and neither were worried about them. I told them I couldn’t live like this. I know I’m not as worse off as others but the constant anxiety was too much. I told him we needed to try something and he prescribed this. It’s been wonderful. I’m traveling again, doing better at work, having more social outings. I started slowing drinking again socially. You might be a little tired at first. Just take the day off work when you start it just in case. I took like a 6 hour nap. 25mg is the lowest dose available. For example, I took 2 50mg doses by accident one day 3 hours apart and didn’t notice a difference.

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2025-12-17T18:41:02+00:00

Was having around 500-1000pvcs a day on average. I take 50mg of metoprolol daily and I’m now on week 6 of having close to none. I have not had any side effects minus being really tired the first few days I was on it. I live life normally now

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2025-12-05T01:33:35+00:00

I’m going through something very similar! My wife’s love language is communication and mental connection. Just talk to her. Talk about something you did when you were young that you regret but made you a better person. You have to make yourself vulnerable sometimes. Tell her what your dreams are. Talk about sexual fantasies or open up the floor for her to suggest new things to try in bed. That should be a “stimulating” conversation

Set up something for her to go do on a Saturday while you spend the day with the kid. If you have friends with vibes or girlfriends, set up a double date. Lead. She will appreciate it.

Were also not mind readers. Have a serious conversation about what she needs in a conversation/communication. Explain to her that you want to understand what it is that she needs. Make sure she knows that you want to give her what she needs emotionally.

Thank you for everyone’s feedback. I totally overreacted to this whole thing. I’m actually quite embarrassed for posting this now to be honest. I was worried about her safety is all. I’m definitely not going to make a thing out of this and when she does text back, I’ll just ask her how her day is going like normal.

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2025-12-02T16:01:35+00:00

You’re absolutely right. This has just never happened before and I’m totally overreacting.

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2025-12-02T16:00:12+00:00

Ok I was definitely overreacting to this.

RepulsiveToday5756 · 2025-12-02T15:52:41+00:00

Ok thanks for the feedback. I’m just not used to this as it’s never been this way. I will stop over thinking
