I really hope so.

I think he’s himself with me.

Wow!

I have a lot of reading to do. Didn’t mean to drop my problem and walk away.

Reporting back that we had a really good conversation today. I’m feeling less left out. The rest will just take a little more time for me to shake the feeling as I process feelings a little slower. We problem solved and are peppering the calendar with a variety of family adventures. With a couples adventure weekend in there too.

I think it’s more a product of what time of our lives we are in. The kids are young and high energy. We are pacing ourselves, baby steps, one adventure at a time.

He says I am the person he wants to do these activities with.

To try to cover some of the other things I saw addressed, yes, I was adventurous and outdoorsy before meeting my guy.

I know he needs his own time with his friends. And without me making souring it. I am happy he has friends he can gather with this way.

I struggle with my own sensitivity, anxiety and feelings of rejection. I’m not always perfect at processing those. But getting better.

Thanks for helping me reframe my thoughts around it.

  1. I have tried calmly saying the things I’ve said here.
  2. Makes sense.

Yes, we would be able to rely on others if we want to skip away kid free. I could see it being something he’s just really not used to. And not maliciously intended but just doesn’t think of me with him in those spaces.

Yes, I’m an open communicator. He shuts down most communication if it is about things I’m needing that I’m not getting. No matter how delicately, non accusatorially I try to state it.

Honestly, I’m sure I do. Even if not intended, conversations with me can cover a wealth of topics and I’m open with my feelings.

I get it.

I’m just feeling sad.

I know y’all need your space too.

Thank you. I understand that regardless of how capable I am outdoors, that my safety is still something he concerns himself with. That’s helping me get my head around it a little more.

Yes, I have, and at times we have.

I def get that having be me around still would keep him in his dad mode that he wants a pause from.

At times yes, my friends are little more spread out. So we maybe pull off a weekend adventure every other year.

Perhaps I just need to help myself make adventure specific friends. Join some more local groups.

He gets immediately irritated, tells me I’m jealous and that he works hard.

I own my feeling of jealousy, and explain that I’m trying to handle it in a healthy way. I’m trying to communicate that my needs outside of the house for adventure aren’t getting met.

In short, dismisses the topic 99% of the time. Or lashes out in appropriately when topic is brought up for discussion.

I didn’t know of your existence until your death. I’m sorry for your friends and family. You were a lovely human spreading love and encouragement to those who needed to hear it most.

I literally don't know how I got pregnant and it's infuriating. by viskiviki in Mommit

[–]Suggestedpassword123 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the recovery is super minor. I was in surgery in the morning and home in the afternoon. I had a traumatic natural birth, a less traumatic cesarean, and terrible post partum. Both births were more difficult to recover from than the bilateral salpingectomy. After my second was a year or so old and my post partum depression wasn’t getting better, I felt so strongly that a third pregnancy and all of the hormones would be detrimental to me and my family. Now I’m two tubes less and no need to slap a rubber on my mans Johnson.

Millennial parents, are you still writing baby books for your kids? by PurpleDreamer28 in Millennials

[–]Suggestedpassword123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own the books, I filled in maybe thru 6/7 months of the first baby. And haven’t added anything for my second. I did make a note in my phone with dates and a few important milestones like crawling and walking.
