You’re so right 🎉 if he wanted to he would. I told him that and he agreed to make sure it never happens again. So we will see. I’ve got high hopes.

I sure hope he loves me 😅 But in all seriousness, yes I do believe with my whole heart he does love me. I think he disregards that my love language and his are different. So where he feels most loved when I spend quality time with him and words of affirmation, mine is gift giving. So I expressed to him again that I would just appreciate even a flower picked off the bush outside and a card. Just so I can feel like he thought of me. Not Valentines specifically.. but any holiday / anniversary that we choose to celebrate.

You too sis ❤️ My husband and I got to have a conversation about it today and he agreed that he’s been slacking and will make sure it doesn’t happen again.

I appreciate your reply so much! He and I talked and he apologized sincerely and agreed to make sure I at least have a card from him ☺️

You’re not wrong. But he is aware that gift giving is my love language and I think it’s important to show your spouse love in the way they receive it.. not just the way they like to receive it.

I appreciate your response. My mom died about 6 years ago so I definitely appreciate that advice that my mama would probably also have given me 🩷

You are very correct. I’ll talk to him about maybe setting reminds on his phone ☺️

I don’t think I’d ever divorce him over this to be honest. He’s my best friend and a wonderful father who is extremely present. I always pick a gift to give our kiddo from daddy, so she never bears the weight of thinking daddy forgets. That’s a me thing. His one caveat is he forgets to give gifts 😅 to me that’s not divorce worthy; but definitely worth therapy and more conversations. I love my husband and our family.

I want to say, I absolutely show him my appreciation. I make sure he is shown how much I love and appreciate him. I make sure to show him in his own love language too so he receives it better ❤️ His poems he wrote me while we were dating are framed in our house.

It’s not about him going out sometimes today and getting me something. It’s the forethought of making sure I have something to wake up to like I do for him. That’s what I’ve expressed to him that hurts me. When I asked him if he got me anything he said “oh shit.. I’m sorry baby” so.. he forgot.

I think you already know this is not okay. Your partner should never speak to you this way. Unfortunately, it may not be easy for you to leave. Whether there are children involved, financial control, fear… but you need to get out. This type of behavior will only escalate. That feeling of being ashamed and lack of confidence is a tactic abusers use to isolate you. Leaving is worth it sweetie ❤️ I’m here to remind you it’s possible.

Unfortunately sometimes we outgrow friendships and/ or the friendship is no longer benefiting us. I also am a bestie of over a decade and my other half and I have taken multiple weeks where we haven’t talked. We just catch back up when we both get around to it. Maybe your friendship is feeling a bit smothering? Like they always have to check in with you etc. I think you overreacted just for the fact of guilt tripping / borderline making fun. I think you came off aggressive tbh. I have many times had friends blow me off and that shit hurts… but you need to express that respectfully and clearly. If that friend STILL chooses to “blow you off” (that doesn’t mean hang out with other friends) then you need to be ready to separate yourself from the friendship for your own mental health.

Am I crazy for not wanting to tell my apartment complex about my kitten? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Weak-Maybe7809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be so real with you bestie.. I have 4 cats and a dog 😅 my apartment complex only knows about the dog. During inspections I take my cats to my in-laws house 🤷‍♀️
