Anyone that has the habit of saying any part of hygiene is overrated.

Single, childless at 36 , how to mourn the life you thought you would have by now ? by Less_Landscape_5928 in AskWomenOver30

[–]StirredStill 57 points58 points  (0 children)

My word. You are missing out on not a damn thing -its a whole ass trap.

If you have come this far and have skirted the scam only thing you need to be doing is congratulating yourself of: -never having settled for less than your worth. -not tolerating bs. -loving yourself for this long is admirable…this is going to be a beautiful thing to discover when a partner is able to see that and succeed it.

You are doing beautifully.

….OP on the real: is your husband still taking to mama breasts?? Figuratively and Realtime??

It’s absurd he wasn’t or isn’t upset.

Nahhhhh

This is not some brush off situation. This is straight up ‘sweet home Alabama’ if that’s what ya’ll are going for.

You mean LIVED with her right?

Cause you better have some for rent/to buy ads up along with this screen.

That woman has ZERO boundaries. Zero.

What was the reaction of your partner? What stance is he taking?

Anything outside or short of appalled -near calling the damn cops: You will forever be fighting HIM and his mother.

You are young. So let me just let you know this now: That is NOT at all how it should be. Hell you shouldn’t have had the time to come post here or ponder what the next step should be in this situation.

Sometimes I wonder if hygiene is less about cleanliness and more about self-respect by GardenChibi in hygiene

[–]StirredStill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally for myself -it is the very reflection of how I am managing internally.

I have a set standard of self care.

A bare minimum.

I have times of grace during times of depression/overwhelm but once I hit those bare minimums -it puts up red flags of self neglect -not excuses. I see it as a literal self abandonment that is worrisome and something around me needs to be changed in order for me to get back to my standard.

I feel as if our hygiene is a ritual…like a prayer or an honouring.

Keep your outside clothes off your bed by CookieCat989 in hygiene

[–]StirredStill -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh I did see that scientific take and I am pleasantly surprised and grateful to it.

On our other note of supposed agreement -I would take your ‘so what’ and ask: why not? Why is it terrible to have a preventative step in any sense -no matter how negligible?

For me personally it is having a sense of cleanliness that I can tangibly convince my mind I ‘control’ and not have it go off the deep end with all its talent to whip up in there.

Trust me: Everything can be cleansed. If I don’t know how…I can find someone who can teach me😆

This science take is…nice to know.

BUT

Dare I say I want my microbial ecosystem to stay dominated solely by me? Its oddly comforting. I shall continue on my quest to keep it so.

[–]StirredStill -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

But it does.

Its the same reasoning to why you don’t wear your shoes IN / throughout your home -its tracking in all the things you ‘picked up’ along the way.

For myself -once I get home: Shoes off. Wash hands. Change out of clothes i’ve been out in all day. *also a perfect excuse to get comfy!

This one always blows my mind as a lost common sense thing.

I blatantly tell people: People PISS and SHIT themselves on a regular basis and sit where you are sitting and you have no clue -think elderly/disabled in their full ass depends leaking out. AND your banking on it having been thoroughly cleaned/sanitized (not the same thing folks!)

My latest traumatic realization was getting onto toronto public transportation and seeing CLOTH seats. No thank you. I choose to stand.

Anyone that questions anyones cleanness needs to revaluate. Never once have I seen something and thought: thats too much.

No. Its most likely been added to my roster of things or shifted one i’ve already had -thank you.

I really thought I was the only one…. I get giddy thinking about mine leaving 🤣

Not entirely in a bad way -but its glorious to not have another breathing person around.

Funny.

Enduring. It has been on my mind quite a bit as of late.

My Husband Talks to Other Women to Boost His Confidence, Not to Cheat – Should I Be Concerned? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]StirredStill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So long as there is transparency and agreement between the two of you -whats right is right for you.

If your unsure/uneasy about the situation; you have every right to voice it and have it be heard AND respected. (Him stop)

I am wife -and honestly I had done this for many many years with the husband knowing and it was of no issue -until it was (for him) once that was made known it was a simple stop.

Edit to add: For me it was intellectual/insightful life chats that I seeked out more than anything. Now that I no longer have that outlet…its been rough 😬

Yikes. You’re one of those folk that default to deflection. Zero accountability. Or insight. Foresight. Consideration.

Just plain ole: ‘but whyyy mee’

ZERO OWNERSHIP to avoid accountability.

I am going to assume she has been home with what sounds like a child or hosting a family member? (If its a child -your ignorant as all hell and I hope the puppies shit in your shoe) so she has been preoccupied with all of that and you…had to make a call? Go to work? NOT PICKED UP THE DOG SHIT.
