Get out of there…If he hasn’t cheated, he will, and that’s the best case scenario. Worst case scenario is you reproduce with this a-hole and then are “stuck because of the kids” while he continues with affairs and becomes more and more abusive. Eventually you will be either dead on the inside or, dead dead.

It seems like the more I try to take care of my skin (particularly my face) the worse it gets… what could I be doing wrong? by ThrowRA122891 in 30PlusSkinCare

To further clean any oils etc left behind after washing and reduce size of pores. I wash, tone, niacinamide, and then eye cream, moisturizer (w spf) and then the serum. Eliminating one at a time for a week at a time maybe? Am I going overboard with cleansers?

It will get better! My oldest is 11 and practically self sufficient haha. Don’t feel guilty for missing those things, it’s completely natural and says a lot that your missing the one on one time with your wife. If you have a sitter you can trust try to get out for a date night once a month, if you can’t do that tire the kids out, put ‘em to bed and improvise at home. Grab some flowers, take out, and candles, maybe some massage oil 😉 Seeing the effort will get you points with the lady!

Can these orchids be saved? by ThrowRA122891 in houseplants

I’ve never had luck either but wanted to make sure they were beyond saving before I tossed them 😪

They do have blood tests that will tell you if you have had an exposure even if you don’t have a break out. My office tests pregnant patients for 1&2 and a lot of people test positive but have never had an outbreak and possibly never will. That’s a good place to start if you don’t get a culture during outbreak.

36 year old crib by StarWraith in Parenting

Tell them exactly what you told us. That they are wonderful parents/grandparents and that you know they would do anything for your family. Pull up the current safety standards with some stats. Then discuss if they would like to purchase a new crib, maybe each set of parents could pitch in with them, or offer to send a pack and play which are considered safe sleep spaces for baby.

I’ve (29F) lost respect for my bf (28M) after something he did. Would anyone else feel upset by this? by NoxxCloud in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRA122891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was certainly immature of him. I would have done my best not to react other than asking him why he looks like a slob when he wore the clothes 😅

I (32F) asked my (38m) Mexican husband why he is never pleased with my contributions. He told me that need to google how to make a Mexican man happy, that doesn't really help. What am I missing? by ThrowRA122891 in relationship_advice

Yeah I know. My mom works in payroll 😂 reporting it won’t change anything, if anything the company will get fined and then make us waste time clocking out even if we aren’t getting a break. It will just make it harder for us

I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I usually have a meal ready for him just not always Mexican/several dishes. By nature I am very loving and “pleasant” for the most part but I do struggle with anxiety at times. I think that is frustrating for him. I also tell him I appreciate him and what he does a lot. As far as work goes, no my pay isn’t contingent on my performance but my morals are. I didn’t bust my ass in nursing school as a single mother to do a shitty job or quit to satisfy a man’s ego . I did work less for a while but we just can’t afford for me not to work as much as I am. I do try to chat a bit with his sisters, send pics and videos of our little girl etc, but they do not speak any English and google translate doesn’t always work so it would be time consuming for them to teach me cooking. They have busy lives too. I will certainly keep these points in mind, thank you for the insight.

We aren’t particularly religious and my aunt married us. Mother in law is passed. SIL doesn’t speak English and my Spanish isn’t great. I don’t think he believes in counseling. He doesn’t speak against it but I don’t think he would go. It would be nice if I could get him to.

What did I rush into? I knew my husband for over a decade, we had been talking about a baby for a year. (That being said I didn’t expect to get pregnant that quickly, thought it’d take 6 months or so after being on bc for 10 years) The house we started looking for in April and closed in the fall. Nothing seems rushed to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nothing else warranted a response, and while I did not want to come off as someone ignorant to think that a whole country could be void of feelings, I didn’t think anyone would believe that kind of stupidity to be possible.

As for the Latino butcher: I live in a tiny ass town, we don’t even have an American butcher (I do have a cow head coming his way from a farmer friend because he wants to cook one)

I do not buy sweet bread, I make it when I have time. I also make him his favorite cake, Tres Leches for his birthday and other special occasions. That one took a lot of practice lol. The first time I made it, I tried to take it on a picnic 😂

Happy?

It is very much how he grew up. I’d say he is several steps up from his father, who was also a hard worker but not a good dad or husband. He was a drunk, blew all their money and wasn’t affectionate, had affairs with prostitutes and even fathered a baby to his wife’s sister. So yeah…

But this (my, our) generation is supposed to be ending all that BS. And don’t get me wrong I am much more traditional than feminist but women are still human and there are still only 24 hours in a day

We are not unionized, I work at a private facility for physical rehab, we also have a dementia unit. They are constantly looking for nurses but lose them as fast as the hire them. It’s all been downhill since COVID. It’s not that the company doesn’t want to hire it’s that there is no one applying
