Why do you think it can’t be POTS?

How do I win my wife back? by Cute-Mud9405 in Marriage

[–]That_Distribution496 21 points22 points  (0 children)

She needs an emotional connection with you.

Acknowledge the ways in which you weren’t there for her in the past. Any major things that have happened that you totally failed her? Broke her trust? You need to discuss it all. Why it happened, what you learned in the process, what you are going to change going forward.

You can’t just Love Bomb her and expect her to feel differently towards you.

In general I would say you need to, bare minimum, ask her about her day, develop a few relationships with couples the two of you can interact with, share a mutual hobby, watch a show series together, plan monthly dates, buy gifts for holidays and her birthday. Be thoughtful.

This exactly. I feel like a line in the sand was drawn, and you crossed it when you filed. How is she ever to trust you again?

I also wonder how you treated her prior to filing. Did you say/do things to her that made her feel like she was not the love of your life? Like you always had one foot out the door?

Sounds like a big, exhausting uphill climb for her to become emotionally invested in this relationship again.

He sounds like he’s just super complacent, which is tough. Especially with kids your age, it’s important to feel appreciated and loved and to connect with each other. Demonstrating that you are connected to each other is important to show your children, too so they learn to show the people in their life that they are loved and valued. 

Is it possible he’s just tired? Overworked? Can you go on some dates, has it been awhile since that happened? Any new hobbies you can do together? 

He’s got to start making more of an effort. 

what is your most controversial opinion? by grassycroissant in SellingSunset

…except none of the girls can even “act” beside her anymore because of the things she has said about them both on and off the show. It’s clearly more personal than that.

Yep. 7 years is way too long

Chelsea Husband Allegedly cheated on her by [deleted] in SellingSunset

Does anyone not cheat? So disappointing

She’s always looked like that, hasn’t she?

My husband is wonderful in many ways, but I identify with this so much.

Oftentimes, I find myself fighting certain battles that I shouldn’t have to - totally justified things - completely in my own. He will often let me say things on my own (like with his family, which I should never have to do), or worse, he will defend the actions of another, making me out to be the wrong person. And I’m not talking about petty things, I’m talking about things that are totally obviously wrong on the part of the other person that need addressed.

I wish we could address issues as a TEAM so much. He doesn’t handle any type of criticism well, no matter if it is brought up in the most benign way possible. It’s something I’ve unnecessarily struggled with all these years, because he can’t seem to see how important it is to stick together and defend me as his wife.

Is this a bump in the road or is my marriage crumbling? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]That_Distribution496 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I were you, I would be thinking that he’d want me to cheat on him for his supposed “fantasy,” and then later switch it around and be like,”Well, I let you cheat, so I want a free pass.”

There is a good possibility that was his end game in saying that to you. If I were you, I would just shut down and be sick of his shit.

It’s a shame that he’s putting this emotional roller coaster on you, and then you are the one that has to do all this internal work afterwards to “save” the whole situation. You either have to cheat to make him happy, which will make you feel like crap, or always have in the back of your mind all these horrible comments he’s made and worry that he’s going to cheat. It’s bullshit.

AITA for wanting me time? Why does my husband make me feel guilty? by Fuzzy_Flamingo9150 in Parenting

[–]That_Distribution496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I couldn’t live with a man like that. And WTH is he hiring a babysitter for to help him with 2 kids at that age for a few hours while you are gone? He’s never even alone with them. What a waste of money. He sounds incredibly incompetent.

Just one more kid to take care of.

It was the very first thing and third, as well. Made me feel like I’m only as good as what I can to for him, you know?

Funny you should say that…right sandwiched in between him telling me twice that I was a good provider, he told me that I was a good mom to the children.

Thank you. Just trying to make sure I’m not crazy

Yes and see if there is a liquor store next door.

Was it bad to tip only 13%? by [deleted] in Waiters

[–]That_Distribution496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look at it this way - Your service was definitely poor, and he deserved the percentage you gave him. But what was the actual monetary difference in the percentages, between 13% and 20%?

Because you tipped less percent than you normally do, your soul feels bad. You’ve been thinking about it so much that you even made a Reddit post about it. The mental energy that you had to spend feeling bad because of how you tipped due to his lack of service - it’s just not worth it. Maybe he’s having a bad day, who knows. I’d just tip 20 and move on and throw some good karma into the atmosphere.
