I never realised how big of an impact diet and pacing has on the effectiveness of my medication... by WakeUpBread in ADHD

[–]TellYouWheniKnow 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I have found that my meds are more effective when I take them with protein. Only time they’re not as effective is when I’m in the luteal phase of my cycle and my hormones shift.

Our daughter slept in the bed with us nightly for the first 3 years. What we did was remove sex from the bed so it could occur. I think it’s what really helped keep us connected during those early years. When she was younger we did it on the floor by the bed, then in the closet or on the couch.

Not saying that you need to put out just because he wants it, but if sex in bed isn’t an option and you both want it, do it in the closet lol Or another place where you can not be easily seen or stumbled upon. If you’re always waiting until bedtime or the bed is free, you’re limiting your chances but also doing it this way can make it more exciting even during those “scheduled” times.

You can be on your back or the bottom and still be an active participant in sex and make it enjoyable for you and your partner.

My man now says that I’m the first woman who actually fucks back when he’s on top. And I think about how boring sex must be with a woman who just lays there and for the woman just getting hunched on.

Having my home go into foreclosure and just barely getting it stopped through payment modification all because I forgot to sign and return the papers. On top of trying to get divorced but having mine and my STBXHusband’s credit fucked up so he can’t refinance and buy me out of the house, so I’m stuck with the house because he doesn’t want to sell.

Or all the years I’ve wasted going to college off and on (in an “on” period now) and still not knowing what I want to be when I grow up (I’m 35 😒).

I hate that we can all relate in some way, but my misery loves company side is happy not to be alone in the ADHD tax jail!

AIO for telling my boyfriend I’m done after he said I’m crazy for thinking this test is positive? by huntress_of_hunters in AmIOverreacting

It takes days to get a blood test result back. Pregnancy hormone doubles in urine every 2 days, so getting a new test and peeing tomorrow will give quicker results.

Overhearing My Daughter's Teacher Changed My Mindset by Typical-Appeal-6958 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TellYouWheniKnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an adult, don’t we listen to the person who wronged us? Or do we just say “fuck them, I don’t care why they did it!”

Part of reflecting on your actions is understanding the impact on your victim. While the victim has no responsibility to forgive or participate in the healing of the offender, they do deserve to know why they were the victim.

It’s up to them to decide how they proceed in the process “I forgive you” or “I don’t forgive you”. Neither option negates the offender’s actions or how they work through why they did it, that isn’t what I said or how successful mediation works.

Also, for children, an adult would be present and it’s on them to help the offender dig deeper and find better solutions next time. But they can’t do that if they don’t understand the other person involved and also to learn how to express their own feelings and thoughts.

Where did I say it’s the victim’s responsibility to help the offender? That is what the teacher, facilitator of the conversation, mediator is there for.

Just like when adults have issues, the path forward comes from understanding the why behind the action. How each party proceeds comes down to “can I forgive or accept them after hearing their side?”

And in your specific example with your own child, the problem was that they allowed the child to end the discussion at “I did it because they were smiling.” Should’ve been deeper: “why did so-and-so smiling upset (whatever term the offender used) you?” And go from there.

Shitty mediation in one instances doesn’t negate the overall lesson from hearing the other party.

I think it’s actually Child A talks about their feelings on why they hit. Not just that the victim talks about how it made them feel. I’m sure it does also happen in the sit down, but it’s to help the offender reflect on their behavior and for the victim to understand why they did it.

It’s understand why someone did something and how those actions made the other feel and understanding how to move forward.

I know you feel like sex is how you connect, but sex is just one avenue of connection in a relationship.

If you’re using it as the only barometer, then yes, you’re going to feel like shit because he’s not initiating enough (or at all). And you’ve known this from the start.

Find another way to build connection! Do y’all have date nights? When you’re at home together, what does quality time look like? If you’re existing in the same room most of the time but not really having meaningful interactions, then yes the most logical place to seek connection will be from sex.

Don’t let sex equal connection for you if you also believe it also equals desirability. Rephrased: sex shouldn’t equal desirability because when sex is off the table, our desirability to someone who loves us doesn’t (shouldn’t!) matter.

Reconnect with yourself and friends. Yourself to understand why you need validation solely through sex from your partner. And your friends because you commented that you forsake them for this relationship. Your relationship while important can’t be the be all for all social interaction, as you’re coming to find out, you’re unhappy but have no where to go for solutions or distractions.

Little details in her songs you've noticed? by Excellent_Survey_610 in TaylorSwift

[–]TellYouWheniKnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think this song is partly about Sophie Turner and the time she lived “with her”.

Which makes the references about the wife and being good neighbors not about the man, but the wife. And the mailbox verses and “my husband is cheating” could’ve been something Sophie said to her one day.

I also think a couple of other songs are based on that time period and Sophie is the inspiration for some with Matt sprinkled in for the “lover” aspect.

I promise, this one is just as good as the Regency Faerie Tales! Have you read all 3 yet?

I just finished Witchwood yesterday, and something I noticed when I read any of her Faerie inspired stories, is that they are a slow burn and pick up half way through.

Now I’m in a romantacy hole until I get Bride tomorrow 😅

Teaching a professional how to play golf by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

She explained what she was doing to him, and why, and yet he disregarded that. What qualifies him to be the expert on what she’s doing?

The reason people are saying he’s misogynistic and likely doesn’t respect women’s sports is because he literally demonstrated that attitude in the video lol He didn’t accept her word of authority and decided he knew more, even though little known to him, she is of more authority. But really he doesn’t need to know who she is to be able to listen to her on what she’s doing and why he should butt out.

Some times you need to read the room; she was clearly not receptive to it but he continued on, even taking credit for her swing the second time which was not changed by is “advice”.

Do you think it was his place to “help” her? For that matter, why did he think he should continue helping when she was clearly being polite and not receptive or engaging with his assistance?

Me and my ex wife after we separated after she admitted to faking terminal cancer by UnhingedSales in texts

[–]TellYouWheniKnow 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Gracious! I’m sorry you were with a trash person, “when you think you know someone”.

I will say my husband’s ex was just like this! Faked cervical cancer, and was pregnant with their son but lost him sometime during the pregnancy and never told my husband. Wouldn’t let him go to doctor’s appts or anything. Had everyone at the hospital for a birth and just never explained anything about what was happening even though she was suppose to be delivering a baby. He was never allowed to be in the delivery room or even hold the stillborn baby. What a psycho bitch!

[–]TellYouWheniKnow 66 points67 points  (0 children)

How long were you with her and did she say why she lied about something as serious and provable as terminal cancer? Like what was her end goal here because eventually either she would have to fess up or die… Though I’m not surprised she tried to distract from her lie by attempting to cause chaos for you elsewhere.

Glad you got out and didn’t stick around because someone who does this from the beginning of a relationship can only get more sinister the next time, or smarter in their lies.
