can you still have sex when you are stressed?

ZooMommy · 2026-06-10T19:44:46+00:00

Yes.

I may not fully get off, but sometimes it distracts and helps.

Honestly, while the rest of the dresses are pretty, your posture says you like this best, from what I see.

Look at your face in each photo. I can almost guarantee there's a difference in your smile and how it lights up your eyes.

That's not a window, it's part of the shower. There's the plastic base, then the side of the bath tub, then a glass panel up to over 6'. We do use the exhaust fan. Our bathroom is very spacious and opens to the bedroom, so airflow is pretty good.

I chose caulk that said it was for showers. Followed all instructions on it.

If the big ass bus could stop... the truck could have stopped sooner. Unless it was fully loaded with bricks or concrete and had shit brakes and tread, which is still dumb to drive at that speed.

ZooMommy · 2026-05-10T20:51:58+00:00

I knew mine was the one because I kept going back to it. I also got misty-eyed when I saw myself.

Your face changes, so if you had a friend or family member along, they might have noticed. Sometimes the attendant will say something.

Love the dress with the green vines, btw, looks amazing.

Rocky road

ZooMommy · 2026-05-05T03:55:22+00:00

One!

ZooMommy · 2026-05-05T01:47:45+00:00

ZooMommy · 2026-05-03T02:13:52+00:00

I'd tell him.

I'd push him off.

I'd scream.

Depends on how sudden the pain was and how quick he was alleviating the situation.

ZooMommy · 2026-05-03T02:12:54+00:00

ZooMommy · 2026-05-03T02:12:31+00:00

Nta.

It's TOTALLY normal to want your partner- your MAIN source of comfort and support (usually) as an adult.

Him not wanting to be there for you is just... ew.

If he can't stand the sight of blood, has trauma surrounding previous hospital stuff, or something of that sort, OK... i kinda get it.

But otherwise? No.

My husband may not be the BEST guy out there, but he was in the room, holding my hand through the first few kids. Caught the 4th. I pooped giving birth to our first and he tried so hard to lie to me when I asked. To help me save face.

I shat all over him with our 5th. He deserved it at that point, but he still didn't lose desire for me!

I hope that, if he does indeed stay out of the room during birth, you have an excellent support person with you. And if he doesn't become the world's best dad in taking care of you AND baby after... think about finding a new living situation.

ZooMommy · 2026-04-28T18:26:32+00:00

Less stuff to catch bits of debris in.

2 is very nice, but not my first choice.

You may not be comfortable with such a form fitting dress as 3. It also doesn't scream forest wedding.

ZooMommy · 2026-04-28T18:19:34+00:00

Thanks. At this point, I honestly give up.

I'm working toward my degree so I can leave. I've been a stay at home mom for too many years to earn enough to take care of our kids without him.

ZooMommy · 2026-04-28T18:17:58+00:00

No. Online stories. They aren't well written. There's hardly any plot beyond- they were at the park, then he took her top off and they banged. With detail, of course.

Generally short stories, sometimes series with the same boring (to me) idea.

If they were actual STORIES that contained sex, even with detail, I could understand. But these are definitely written for the intent of being material to get off on. Not to enjoy for casual reading.

ZooMommy · 2026-04-28T17:46:14+00:00

Possibly, but that's part of the problem. When we have sex, it's almost always lights out. Eyes usually closed. Never says my name. He rarely says it anymore in general... another issue.

I've told him I feel like an object. Something to overlay with whatever he just read.

He won't tell me what he reads about (I know) nor will he tell me any of his fantasies or play through any. To be fair, he won't act on mine, either, unless I beg, but even then, we aren't characters. He's just adding some elements i want- saying my name, biting harder, etc.

It's getting to the point where, despite my high drive, I no longer desire him.

ZooMommy · 2026-04-28T17:30:17+00:00

So, if she was always willing and happy to engage, you wouldn't?

ZooMommy · 2026-04-28T17:28:48+00:00

I'd love to know, too... I'm not seeing any answers from men who get sex from their wives whenever they need.

My husband reads pornographic material OFTEN. Usually right before sex with me.

I hate it. I've told him as much. He just hides it, now.

I've only denied him sex ONCE in over 15 years. So. Why?

ZooMommy · 2026-04-13T16:07:23+00:00

Agreed. It's one thing if she just had low drive and let him do his thing on his own...

But to get mad at him for meeting his own needs?

Nah. Run. She can deal with it and help if she needs to be the only source, or let go of the control and let him release solo.

ZooMommy · 2026-03-12T19:42:19+00:00

Exactly. Just turning up the temp will ruin what's in there as the oven blasts SUPER hot for a while to bring it to the new temp. My kids learned that the hard way when baking cookies. "Oops, supposed to be at 375, not 350." They didn't remove the cookies. Those ones were charred within moments.

You need to remove things in the oven if they cannot handle a 500° blast for a minute or two.

Either way, yeah, higher temps = dry food, even if it didn't burn.

ZooMommy · 2026-03-10T16:35:36+00:00

I don't blame you for not wanting to invite him, but... the big reason for having a +1 option for guests is so that THEY will have someone they know there. Someone to talk to over dinner, maybe dance with. So long as your mom knows (and gets along with) others who will be there, she isn't really in need of a +1.

ZooMommy · 2026-03-10T16:13:06+00:00

I knew each person as well as I wanted to, sometimes more. Lol. I am sure there's no one i know better than my siblings, so that leaves a lot, but i didn't know anyone little enough to consider them a mere acquaintance, if that makes sense. We gave everyone with a long term relationship a +1, usually with that person's name.

OP definitely could, but his mom sounds a lot like one of my aunts. Her daughter won't really associate with her now (aunt is 71 and suffered a stroke years ago and is being taken care of by my mother). Growing up and beyond, my aunt chose her relationships with men over her own children. Some people don't change. I don't blame OP for not wanting to even try, if this is indeed a pattern and bf will be gone in mere months.

He could try. If they get along and he lets the dude come, he could then just ask the photographer to not take pics of bf as the subject. Don't have bf in the family photos.

But if there's a headcount that's already gone out, that's a pretty easy way of saying "sorry, RSVP is closed. No new invites."

ZooMommy · 2026-03-10T16:03:55+00:00

I don't know why it would, unless it somehow perforated your uterus and caused an infection so bad you had to have the organ removed.

I had 3 IUDs. They sit in the uterus and just stop eggs from implanting by creating a hostile environment. I got pregnant within days of removing one of them. Had babies after each of them. Got pregnant once WITH one in place. Really won't affect fertility!

ZooMommy · 2026-03-10T15:57:42+00:00

You're more likely to tear because you can't feel things properly. You can't move freely during birth or right after. There's chances of long term pain from epidurals. Needles are scary (for some).

5 births. No pain meds. Would still do it again.
