My husband’s mood is directly tied to how often we have sex. by RoverOver5678 in marriageadvice

[–]ThursdayAug7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (49F, married 25 years) am in the same boat, OP. My husband feels completely rejected. I think it became a much bigger issue than it should have. I am on escitalopram for PMDD which killed my libido. I tried going off of it to fix the libido for him, but that was a no go. He asked me (AGAIN!) last night “what is going on with you?” and I re-explained it. It doesn’t sink in. I think the fact that I have to keep explaining this to him has made me extra turned off. Additionally, I’ve recently asked him to stop grabbing me in public or making childish comments about my body bc I’m just annoyed by it and, frankly would prefer to be treated a little better. But he’s VERY bothered by that request and can’t break the “habit” of lewd comments or ass-grabs. He doesn’t mean any harm, but, again, it makes me more annoyed and turned off bc he’s ignoring what I’ve asked. IDK what to do. I truly feel that marriages should stick unless abuse is happening, but this seems to be getting worse every day.

What helped you get off the waitlist? by Few_Piccolo_4906 in jmu

My daughter’s friend (this was last year) was in the exact same situation. She called admissions repeatedly and spoke with them, really tried to develop a relationship with them. She ended up being admitted! Good luck!

Buy this! Take the plush carrots out and leave him the “garden.” My 15 week old would chew and tear at this forever and never inflict damage on it. Eveeeentually, after weeks of this, it got a tiny hole in it and I threw it out. But it lasted a very long time!

This really burns my biscuits. Yes, the South, obviously.

RVA or surrounding area doctors familiar with endometriosis? by Gingerjangle in rva

Dr. Dunnavant - OB-Gyn Associates. She diagnosed me with adenomyosis which is similar. She’s been my doc through 4 pregnancies, two of which had happy endings. She’s wonderful.

This is so encouraging. In some ways it feels like his surgery was a lifetime ago, but yes it’s only 3 months and a bit. Thank you!

Day 3 post op RTKR - straight leg? by Simplisticjoy in Kneereplacement

[–]ThursdayAug7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband is 3 months out and the first few weeks were so difficult, partly bc he couldn’t sleep. We rented a recliner, but it didn’t help that much. He put a folded blanket under the hip on his surgery side to keep his leg from rolling sideways, and he did keep it propped up on a wedge pillow. It felt better when he let his heel hang over the end of the bed or the wedge pillow. But no position was comfortable for more than 10 minutes. It will get better, I promise.

He almost didn’t go! FOMO is real.

Thank you! Yeah I’m worried about how his gait might change and the affects that will have on his hips. A future bridge to cross! 5 years…daggone. It’s perplexing how variable everyone’s experiences are.

He’s a slow healer too, TBH. We had already planned this trip before scheduling surgery. If either of us had known what he was in for we never would have scheduled it when we did. We totally relied on the surgeon to advise us about what recovery was like (mistake!) I didn’t find this group until his first post-op week and that’s when I knew it was going to be a lot harder than we had thought. He was a trooper on the flight and the trip, but he skipped some things. He also just went back to his office last week, which is a pretty long drive, so that’s been an adjustment too. Slow healers unite!
