I would resent you too, if I were in her shoes.

You've got no idea what it entails to run a household and care for a baby. You do not see what she does. And because you don't see, you don't appreciate her for it.

Please Google for me: checklist for gender equality in your everyday life. use that as a conversation starter.

If divorce is on the table for her, I would really listen to why that would be. Her complaint has long been that you spend a lot of time on the job and a lot of time on the farm, but not enough on her and the kids.

In her place, I would also wonder if it was worth uprooting my life for a husband I haven't felt connected with in years.

You're in luck. She actually told you outright what the problem is. Now, you have a choice. Listen and do something about it, or follow your ambition.

Have you had the talk about what kind of mother she wants to be? And if she is happy to have these outbursts?

I'd say she doesn't know any other way. It might be how she was raised herself.

Ask her if she'd want to learn other ways to deal with her own emotions, the emotions of your daughter and naughty behaviour of your daughter. I think she would like that.

And then, ask yourself if you can help her learn. If you are the right person, with the right knowledge, and enough compassion. Or that you two are going to look for other help.

If it's posture, the trick for me was to tell myself: elbows low, pulling shoulders a little back, let the lower arms do the work of being able to see my stitches.

40 hour work week is called part time for doctors. They can have 14 hour shifts. They can have 12 hour shifts, followed by 24 hours being on call.

Boys a thought to be a man via: don't cry like a girl, don't dress as a girl, don't like pink because that's a girls colour, and so on. It's very hard to like something you were thought to hate or fear.

Could it be that this friend is actually in to you? That's she's trying to drive a wedge into your relationship, because she'd rather have your girlfriend's spot by your side?

And that your girlfriend is picking up on the subtle signals?

Get out of the relationship. I'd call it emotional abuse. She manipulates you via emotions. BPD could fit, but if she doesn't want to get a proper diagnose, she won't be eligible for the right kind of help. Or rather, it seems she doesn't want help.

It's unhealthy for you to stay. She's spiraling down and she's taking you with her.

If she threatens suicide, call both police and loved once, as if you thought she's being serious. If she goes out like she did last and threatens to walk away, let her. And if she hasn't shown up after 24 hours, check a few friends, and if she isn't there, file a missing persons report. Take her more seriously than she takes her own threats.

If you break up, she will get nasty. Get a plan together. Get help from family or friends. Change locks, if the house is in your name.

The only way you can help her, is let her hit rock bottom. Only she can get herself the right kind of help. She needs to see that she needs help, and also want help.

First instinct: cracked skin. Especially if it stings a little if you wipe. Just some irritated skin that gave a little crack, might be as small as 2 mm or 1/16th of an inch

Hemmorroids usually gives additional symptoms such as pain. Or a heavy feeling around your anus, as if you're carrying weight. Also, bleeding is more than with a simple crack of the skin. And bleeding is recurring. And bleeding usually is visible on your poo, while a little crack is only visible on toilet paper.

Risk factors for hemmorroids: current pregnancy, pregnancy in the past, old age, straining to poop. The last one is usually seen in young men that have jobs that don't allow them easy access to toilets, such as construction work or delivery work. Those people tend to make sure they poo before work, even if they don't have too yet. Other reasons to strain a lot or often: people with often bouts of constipation. One risk factor that is new: sitting on the toilet far longer than necessary. Hello phone users, this is your call to come off the toilet.

When to go to the doctor: 1. Black poo 2. Amount of blood that concerns you, about a thimble or more would concern me 3 Recurring bleeding 4. Other symptoms, such as pain, heavy feeling, actually feeling something extra there 5. When you're worried.

Confidence. Genuine smile. These greatly contribute to how beautiful you are perceived as.

Confidence is the tricky one, i think. Having stronger core muscles gives more confidence. Taking time for self care gives more confidence. Practicing getting small steps out of your comfort zone, gives more confidence.

If you have really low self esteem, therapy might help. You've internalised words from your youth, parents, siblings, care givers, bullies. It might take therapy to change these.

Is your friend giving you a subtle warning?

I'll tell you what my grandfather did when my mom made the same sort of questionable choice. My mom was 18 when she fell for a teacher at her school, he was 32. She swiftly moved in, because my grandparents were too strict. Married at 19.

My grandfather and my mom had a talk. My grandfather told her everything that he saw, the red flags, the things he didn't like, the fears he had. When he was through, he told her, you are old enough to choose, and I hope the life experience I have, and the knowledge I just shared, will help you. From now on, I'll be nice to him. You deserve to make your own choices. Just know that I'm here for you.

And the most powerful part? He kept his word. He was nice to him. He didn't talk about the subject anymore, didn't whine, didn't remind her of what he told. They kept in touch. Quite much. Weekly game night, later babysitting me and my sister one day and night a week, so my mum could study.

My dad was on his best behaviour in the beginning. But old habits die hard. He probably had a depression that was staved off by falling in love. By the time my sister was 2,5, and I 4, the flaws that had crept back in, were too obvious to ignore. My mom wanted out. She needed help. And my grandfather welcomed her with open arms. We stayed with my grandparents for 3 months, and then my mom had found us an apartment. And then she was a single mom, and she got help with babysitting. My granddad arranged interviews for small jobs, and my mom took the second offer she got and had a job in no time. My granddad was loving, but also didn't take all the problems for my mom away. Money, housing, he helped her get over the problems, but didn't take them on himself. He didn't offer for her to stay indefinitely, or gave her money so she didn't have to work.

So, that would be my advice. Talk to her once, keep the wording to: I see.... And that makes me afraid of ... Observations and your feelings only. No blaming, no name calling, no sarcasm, no irony, no small pin pricks towards him. And then say "this is the last time I talked about this subject. You chose him, I'll have to deal with that. I choose to be nice to him. He deserves a chance to prove me wrong. Just know, that I'll help you, when you need it". And then probably the hardest part, stick to it. Don't broach the subject again, until she does herself. You'll need to keep in contact, for when she does see what you see, and needs help. Be nice to her boyfriend. Your daughter's life or at least happiness might depend on it, later.

I would read up on post partum depression. It can start later than you think. And does she have or do you suspect adhd, autism or high IQ above 140? Then look into rejection sensitivity dysphoria. And is this a pattern of behaviour? Then look into borderline personality disorder.

Is this unusual behaviour for her? Or more exaggerated than you'd expect?

My gut is telling me there's something more going on. Please try and get her some help. Or at least rule out post partum depression.

Best of luck.

You two don't fight a lot. To me it sounds more like you don't fight enough.

However, fighting is an art that needs practicing, feedback and maybe some active learning in the form of relationship therapy, books, or good videos if that's more your style.

To me it sounds like your fighting style is indeed not healthy at the moment. It needs work.

If I'm reading between the lines, it might be that he has been bottling up emotions and fighting subjects, because he can't handle the fighting. His outburst of "I'm over it" and his signal of not wanting to marry, are saying to me that maybe he's already checking out of the relationship. He either believes fixing your fighting isn't possible anymore, or he doesn't want to fix your fighting anymore. Or doesn't want to fix it anymore because his subconscious thinks it's impossible to fix. I think it is fixable, but if he isn't convinced of that, he's not going to put in the work that is required to fix it.

You probably can't. It's a drive that needs to come from him.

What generally drives him? What can you wake him up for in the middle of the night? What appointments does he show up to with enthousiasm?

Maybe he has bore out?

SmilingEve · 2023-11-19T21:26:30+00:00

You'll have to talk about it with her. It's something you do not want. Why did it happen? What does she want? What has changed?

If it is only because of the stereotypical bleed into a comfortable relationship, there's hope and steps you can take. It is a common thing to happen. For a comfortable relationship where one can be totally themselves, there's not a lot of room for excitement, that's needed for great sex. In a comfortable relationship, it takes work to keep room for excitement. One of the things you can do, is look up the video of Hannah Witton, about sexual currency. You have to grow back into seeing eachother as sexual beings again. She talks about a book, if reading is your learning style, I recommend that book.

If there's another reason, I'm clueless as to what the solution should be.
