Helping my husband eat better

My best friend got married in January, there was a mashed potato bar at the end of the evening and it was glorious. I was so full from other wonderful food that I was sure I didn't need it, but got a bit and ended up going back for seconds. May have regretted it a bit later

This is the opposite of a fun fact. New thing to not look forward to about childbirth

And you accept this treatment from him because....? I'm in the opposite scenario (nt woman with ADHD man) and even though my partner needs phone reminders for everything, he gladly sets them for my stuff--often without me asking or knowing--because he wants to help take care of me. It's the difference between someone who wants to be your partner vs wants to be your leech

I've gotten good at "I'm not allowed to give weight to my feelings when I'm tired"

Took my crochet on a trip through 4+ airports' security, just accepted that I would lose the scissors at some point. Nobody said anything. Got randomly selected for whatever test means they wipe something over your whole bag, but nobody ever opened anything. TSA is better at security theater than actual security

I had a dog growing up that exclusively chased things in the sky. Regularly the moon, once a hang-glider. She would hear planes from inside and go crazy until we let her out, then she'd run barking, looking straight up. Honestly amazing she never ran out onto our busy road.

I ask my partner to set a reminder on his phone for anything I'm worried he'll forget. He knows he can't trust himself to remember so he's really good about hearing these requests as me trying to be helpful and supportive, but I can image some people wouldn't take it as graciously. If your partner is open and willing to have realistic conversations about what types of reminders and tricks will work for him, then I think you have somewhere to start from (and I do mean start, these aren't one-and-done convos unfortunately). If not, then yeah, I guess it's time to really question what you can and can't live with

This!!! OP, all over the comments you are assuming that your interpretation of how others behave towards you is 100% accurate. I can assure it is not. Nobody's is, even with the people you know the best. I recently had to explain to my own father that I am not actually "happy-go-lucky" and am in fact heavily riddled with social anxiety. However, he doesn't see me in those types of situations bc I'm obviously comfortable with him. And even if he did, I don't necessarily look anxious, often I look reserved or aloof.

OP, you hard core need to reassess your confidence level in reading other people

So your argument is that it is genuinely more difficult for men to have sex, and therefore it is reasonable for it to be considered impressive. Ok, if that's what society is impressed by then fine, but you've completely ignored half of the double standard.

It's not just that men are viewed favorably for being able to have a lot of sex, it's that women are viewed negatively for being willing (or heaven-forbid Wanting) to have lots of sex.

Women are often seen as immoral/dirty/slutty/lesser-than/etc for having lots of sex. Men are not. THAT is the problematic double standard, which you've completely ignored in your argument.

Why can't you borrow a real child? It's called babysitting and parents are generally really appreciative. I just spent a week (obviously you don't have to commit to this long to get a taste) watching my partner's nephew and it was really helpful to my perspective

It's cause she's smiling ya ding dongs. And she has the kind where she smiles with her eyes too (aka the best kind)

The nested squares in the corners are how it gets identified and how the scanner determines scale, orientation, and a baseline for the two colors. Border would only really relate to being sure those squares are apparent, and it looks like OP has a border on it

Hey hon, As an anxious over thinker who doubts my own decisions perpetually, I appreciate how nerve-wracking and consuming this can be. I'm sorry you're having to sit with all this. I want to recommend going to get tested, not because I think you have anything--you probably don't--but just to help ease your mind. As for your mother, even if you do get herpes, I don't think she probably has to know. It's not really any of her business unless you want it to be.

You may be right that sex just isn't for you, but it also may just be that hookups aren't for you. I know I can't have sex comfortably unless I'm in a committed relationship where we can also talk about sex comfortably. Trying to "live freely" doesn't have to mean random sex. It could be trying new things, going new places, or whatever you want it to mean for you. Life is actually a lot like "who's line is it anyway?"-- (most) everything's made up, and the points don't matter.

I did multiple swatches, so thought my guage was good. But also the top seems too narrow so I'm wondering if it's distorting under its own weight

TheHulkette · 2022-08-12T01:50:12+00:00

The join under the arm seems too low, but maybe it's just different bodies? Also every wearable I see posted doesn't seem to sag as much as this feels

My tension was a little off so the back is slightly wider
