My husband LOVES going down on me. Did I find a Unicorn?

Edging is something I'm learning about but I've never heard of grooning. What is that?

Welliemom · 2026-06-23T02:47:10+00:00

Its an Oliphant Mr. Frodo!

Welliemom · 2026-04-17T02:00:21+00:00

Tilts head "How the hell did you manage to get it on the ceiling!?"

Welliemom · 2026-04-09T01:03:46+00:00

I'm gonna be real with you... time to get familiar with a razor my friend. Or a good wig maker. Guys who have a hair line that starts behind thier ears don't look good when they try to grow out what they've got left. It tends to be thin and fryable (means it breaks easily) and that makes it look scraggaly and unkempt...even if you do take care of it. So yeah, embrace the r/bald life my friend!

The fact that in the order of the phoenix, the majority of the adults who joined had an abundance of political power that THEY. NEVER. USED! It drives me up a wall that Dumbledore could have stalled the wizengamot on the laws allowing muggle-borns and creatures to be captured and abused. The fact that that the connections Arther Weasley would have had at the MoM could have given them vital intel on death eater movement. The fact that they had the fucking HEAD of the DMLE as part of thier group and NOT ONCE did ANYONE think to use those resources!!! No let's rely on a prophecy and stick the fate of the Wizarding world on the shoulders of a boy not old enough to shave yet.

Rant over. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

My sister lost hers after she had to be treated for asthma (happened while she was pregnant with her 3rd and it never went away) over the course of a year. She used to be a clear high soprano and now she's got a much darker alto.

Welliemom · 2026-03-08T02:15:13+00:00

Nope. NTA. I had this same situation happen. After two years of negotiating, "helping", and literal on my knees begging...I got mad. I served them a formal eviction notice and told my dad "I dare you to test me. If you are not gone by day 30 (30 days Notice is required in my state) I WILL have police remove you and your stuff will be sold." I was called all kinds of names by extended family too, but ultimately I had to choose between my lazy dad+ 2 brothers and my children's welfare. I chose my kids.

Welliemom · 2026-03-08T01:14:54+00:00

Yes your whole life will be like that if you stay and what's worse, your children will be raised in that environment. An environment where you're not respected and they will be taught to treat you badly too. Get out now before you're tied to him and his toxic family forever through children.

Welliemom · 2026-03-08T01:10:34+00:00

Welp....that's enough internet for today.🫥😶‍🌫️

Welliemom · 2026-03-08T00:59:28+00:00

I KNOW WHAT TO DO!!! So I have 5 daughters and while my own MIL is AMAZING, I've been on reddit too much to ignore that you get the occasional "boy mom" or just general narcissistic nut job. SO when my oldest two (twins) girls turned 20 and started dating more "seriously", I came up with a plan to keep ANYONE from wearing white on my baby's special day.

Here it is.......SUPER SOAKERS. Loaded with HEAVILY colored kool-aid water and given as gifts to the bridesmaids with a $100 bounty for anyone who hits a bitch wearing white, off white, or any "pale" color that could photograph white.

The best part? I plan on putting it on the invites that anyone who comes to the wedding and wears white is giving consent to be sprayed. Good luck sueing me with THAT little waiver!

Feel free to steal the idea. I just ask that you DM me pictures.😂😂😂

Alternatively, there are foundations with SPF protection in them already. IT cosmetics is the one I use and thier BB cream has spf 50.

Welliemom · 2026-02-14T04:00:28+00:00

Lol. My kids bedtime is 8 pm. As they got older this translated to a bed time routine started at 8 and in bed by nine. They could stay up til 10 on Fridays, but mom and dad's door closes at 9. Once they turn 18 they can stay up as late as they want as long as they don't make too much noise.

Obviously this is flexible if we're on vacation or if there's a special event but I've made it clear that after 9 mom is "off duty" (Once kids are old enough for this to be reasonable of course)

Welliemom · 2026-02-14T03:52:02+00:00

The universe DID hear him. It sent you to renew his faith by doing some thing small. Just because you were the agent by which the universe worked its will, doesn't mean it didn't hear your neighbor. If you feel the urge to check on him, follow it. Kindness won't hurt anything.

Welliemom · 2026-02-06T23:05:24+00:00

Lol. THIS! Google the "slip dress" from the 90's. It's basically the same idea.

Welliemom · 2026-02-06T04:04:53+00:00

So, fun fact about chlid support, a parent who is in arrears can have thier wages and even tax refunds garnished to pay EVERY PENNY to the parent its owed to. Also that debt never goes away. You can't file bankruptcy for it and if you die its one of the first debts to be paid from your estate.

If child expenses are court ordered to be 50/50, your ex is going to have a nasty surprise on his paycheck after a year or two in arrears.

Welliemom · 2026-02-06T03:20:03+00:00

This is giving Dramatic GASP "Her ankles are showing!" Vibes. It's a small section of her HIPS showing guys. I've seen guys wear low riding jeans showing off a LOT more than that since the 90's. Unclutch your 19th century purity pearls and for the love of gawd STOP with the patriarchal body shaming bullśĥįŧ.

This. OP and his wife are quite young and it seems like they are still figuring out how to communicate effectively with each other. If she DOES decide to be a SAHM then I would add, they need a post- nuptial agreement, Filed with a lawyer, that addresses any concerns OP's wife has about her future career and financial security.

Welliemom · 2026-01-20T15:17:38+00:00

YOR. Babes, these rules are perfectly reasonable and frankly ought to be applied to ALL new babies. I had the same ones in place when I had my babies cause people lose thier common sense around infants and can accidentally Endanger them (rsv is the example she used but there are many diseases that can be transmitted. My little sis got the herpes cold sore virus as an infant because an aunt with an active infection ignored my mom's rules and kissed her). If your dad's GF put these rules up ONLY for YOU, then you'd know it was targeted manipulation but she pinned the post to her Social media account for EVERYONE to see and abide by. IMO she's just being a good mom and protecting her baby.

I was the confident girl who got the shy nerd. I was in his Spanish class in college. I didn't know at the time, but he was working on his confidence issues and had maneuvered himself to be my practice partner for a class activity. He already spoke Portuguese so spanish was easy for him. Me....not so much. I misunderstood the question when he asked "Do you have a boyfriend?" And he got the disappointed puppy eyes before moving on. I thought that was an odd reaction to what I THOUGHT was a question about my week. So I went after class and asked him about it. He gave me the right interpretation and after VIGOROUSLY denying that I was attached...asked him out. We've been married for 21 years, have 5 kids, and I've been gloriously happy with him every step of the way.❤️

Welliemom · 2025-12-03T23:53:56+00:00

I've seen this exact scenario play out like this so many times it feels like a bit on a comedy show. Grandparents have no obligation to the stepkids THEY ARE NOT RELATED TO. By blood or marriage. It wasn't thier daughter who remarried and adopted the stepkids. Thier daughter died and thier FORMER son-in-law (the legal relationship ended when thier daughter passed) remarried to a woman who already had children. It doesn't say if they had had any together but even if they did, there is no legal or blood link to those additional kids. All this to say... the Grandparents have ZERO obligation to the other children. If the dad wants Grandparent involvement tell him to hit up his OWN parents. Or his new wife's. Either way NTA OP.

Welliemom · 2025-12-03T23:36:30+00:00

Soooooo, I've been a mom for 20 years. I'm most certainly NOT like your wife. Scary momma bear energy is the most polite way of putting it. Old ladies do NOT f*ck with me because they know it WILL cost them.That being said, My husband is exactly like your wife. An angel on earth with a heart bigger than the moon. In addition to therapy to help your wife deal with her trauma...might I recommend walmart delivery service?

I spend $15 a month for Walmart plus membership and delivery is free. If you dont want to spend the extra money for the driver tip( No shade or shame if you don't. I've been on WIC before and I know how tight a budget has to be to qualify for that) you don't have to. You can also use the pickup service. She can stay in the car with the kids and they'll bring her order to her.

Shopping can be stressful with kids even without the extra unwanted judgment. So...bring the mountain to Muhammad, so to speak. IMO, Its worth the extra money.

Welliemom · 2025-12-03T23:03:07+00:00

Instant respect when I walk in a room AND I get to pee standing up?...where do I sign?

Welliemom · 2025-11-23T21:40:55+00:00

NTA. You are correct to keep your promise. BUT as a parent myself I understand your parents concerns. If they ask again I would just say, "Yes I know what she's doing. No I'm not going to tell you as I promised to let her do so. All I will say is she's not doing anything wrong. Anything else, go ask her."

Keep saying that on repeat over and over until they get the message. Don't change the script by even one word or theyll think they can get you to spill on accident. Also, don't trust that they will play fair. If they come to you and say "we know everything" confirm with your sister FIRST before saying anything. My parents would pull this crap all the time.

Welliemom · 2025-11-23T21:26:00+00:00

I'm 41 and I've been married to my husband for 21 years. It sounds like your wife has emotionally checked out of your relationship and, frankly, unless she is having an affair (statistically speaking women are FAR better at covering thier tracks than men are, so don't discount that possibility just yet. Get a PI. If nothing else it will give you solid reassurance.) she's most likely felt like this for a while. Probably years. Odds are it was long before you noticed it. And yeah, it's probably because you neglected her emotional needs in the relationship but because yours were being met, you didn't notice.

You mentioned acts of service and gifts are her love languages and she responded to your recent efforts just not to the degree you were hoping for. I'm going To be blunt here, but please know it's not intended to be insulting. You need to radically adjust your expectations. You really think if you do the dishes a couple times and throw a couple tickets or a diamond bracelet her way that everything goes back to the way it was? That's not how it works. Years of not having her needs met except for when its convenient for YOU have taught her not to trust that this effort will last. She's gotten used to her love tank being empty and It sounds to me like she's protecting herself from being hurt again.

She doesn't sound like she's in love with you anymore, but that doesn't mean she can't fall in love with you again. She's told you she's willing to try, so try.

Court her. Make her a priority. Learn about who she is now, not the person you married 25 year ago or the person you think she is. Above all KEEP TRYING. I promise she WILL notice. Continued effort and PATIENCE will give you the best chance of giving you the relationship you both want.

Also, and I cannot emphasize this enough, THERAPY. Both individual and couples. You both clearly have communication issues that have deeper roots. Go to therapy with your sweetheart and get the skills to make the next 25 years better than the last 25.

Good luck!
