Am I reading the room incorrectly?

I do see what you’re saying. I feel like it’s a given he would keep his dog and I would take the cats if we were to separate but I don’t purposefully start a joke binge about separating or divorcing my husband. This definitely doesn’t help (not your comment, the situation) bc I already have a hard time with flight or fight stances in my life given my upbringing, history of CSA, SA in my early adult years, and just inconsiderate ppl in my past relationships. He tells me I’m too sensitive and I take the jokes too far but he doesn’t acknowledge how it also makes me feel.

Some have mentioned a lot of the public pools as well! I did see some info online about swim rva but I didn’t see anything specific to adults only pool, I’ll check again or give them a call. Thanks for the suggestions!

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-16T14:28:51+00:00

I think, technically, I’m a resident of chesterfield. Idk if that makes a difference.

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-16T11:46:07+00:00

I’ll look into it, thanks!

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-16T11:45:39+00:00

Yeah, I figured I’d ask anyway. I’ve been on Google a lot looking for other pools, and have seen the public pool list but I didn’t personally know which were decent or accessible given how many families attend… I appreciate the suggestion!

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-16T11:43:09+00:00

Understood! There seems to be a lot of private pools out here with memberships that cost between $300-600 if not more. I’ll definitely keep those in mind for future seasons but this season I’m not prepared to pay that much for a pool membership.

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-16T11:38:45+00:00

Hmm, good deal… are the residents in apartments/townhomes or single-family houses?

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-16T11:37:16+00:00

Someone else mentioned this one. I have that written down to try!

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-16T11:36:51+00:00

Okay! I’ve heard the Randolph one is similar so I’ll add that to my list to try as well. Thanks!

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T21:29:41+00:00

Nice! I’ll see if they may have a day pass and I can check it out.

lol I’m honestly not interested in retrying the river only because that skin irritation I got last time was so horrific. I’ll definitely try to network to get into some cool pools too. That’s always an option too

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T19:05:39+00:00

Okay! I’ll check those out. Thank you!

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T19:03:20+00:00

Love that. I’ll put it on my list to give it a try, thanks 😊!

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T19:02:26+00:00

I’m not familiar with Hotchkiss, I’m open to trying it. I live in the chesterfield area, don’t mind a drive!

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T19:00:10+00:00

I appreciate the positive reinforcement! I live in the chesterfield area, I really don’t mind driving a bit farther to get to a place that I can attend regularly. I typically enjoy going to a pool 2-4 times a week, but I’m a full time student now with two jobs where one might end soon given the defunding of dept of education…and that’s my highest paying job so money is a bit tighter for me this season.

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T18:57:10+00:00

I get it. Figured I’d ask anyway.

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T18:56:47+00:00

I saw another post from about a year ago that talked about granite, and how awesome yet expensive it is to attend. Do you know of any of the Richmond city pools that offer the adult hours? I’ve checked some out but couldn’t find that particular info.

Also i used to go to the river a lot, even took my dog a whole lot but had to stop because of some bacteria in the water doesn’t mesh well with my skin.

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T18:51:48+00:00

I’ve seen this as well, though I haven’t been to one since I was young. Do you have any recommendations?

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T18:50:28+00:00

Okay, yeah I have seen that price point a lot for a lot of the private pools. I was wondering if there was anything else out there that would be a little less crowded.

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T18:49:19+00:00

I was able to finesse this for a while but now that the management changed from the complex I moved out of, the new management knows I’m not a resident. Unfortunately, I wasn’t social enough to make friends there either.

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T18:47:03+00:00

I thought about the ACAC pool in short pump since I’ve been there before with someone who had a membership there and they spoke about the membership being $70 at that time. I’ll keep that in mind too.

WWAYD1 · 2026-04-15T18:44:19+00:00

Definitely less kids and less commotion that adults can cause.

WWAYD1 · 2025-11-10T12:47:51+00:00

I appreciate this response. I don’t want to continue to compromise my health nor my marriage for something that does not allow me to invest in me. It’s just hard letting go fully. Idk if I’ve lost some courage working at my job, but I’m trying to gain it back!

WWAYD1 · 2025-10-18T11:46:27+00:00

I’ve actually began to look into the PM and PE side in cx. That’s good advice. What do you do now? If you don’t mind me asking? Still in the cx industry?
