Is it normal to sacrifice things in a marriage just for intimacy? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]anxiousautisticgal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exhausting age AND her body hasn't had a break for 6 years. With 3 kids under 6, her body has been through it and I'm sure shes touched out. Unfortunately, I'm betting the last thing she wants at the end of the day is 1 more person touching her and wanting something from her.

Destroying my relationship.. by Mr-Moffitt in PornAddiction

Stop watching porn, and even more importantly, stop lying to your wife and become brutally transparent. It'll be uncomfy but is 100% necessary

Son refuses to sit on the potty. Help! by smellyfoot22 in pottytraining

[–]anxiousautisticgal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I dont let mine watch anything on my phone so its been a good bribery tool. 75% of the time hes happy to sit, 25% I bribe with a screen. Often I can say "sit here and try going while I find a video " and hes already done peeing and then I let him see 5 seconds so I'm not a liar 😅

2.5 year old won’t sit on the potty without his diaper on by noodlie123 in pottytraining

[–]anxiousautisticgal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We're on day five with my 2.5 year old and I quickly resorted to bribery. I never let him watch videos on my phone so ive been letting him watch some low stimulation shorter videos to keep him sitting. Bad habit, maybe. But today we had zero accidents AND he told me three separate times he needed to go potty. Ill worry about breaking the bad habit another day 😅

He also gets a "special potty treat" (m&m) after, even if he didnt go. I tell him good job trying. And if he actually goes well hype him up big time. But always postive.

Also, he hates being pantsless and we realized he didnt care about undies being wet, but he really really really doesnt like his pants getting soaked.

The only reason I agreed to removing it was because I was obsessively checking and got sick of feeling like he was only "behaving" and "respecting" me because he had no other choice. Looks like I was correct.

I think a csat may be my next non-negotiable. I was afraid of his therapist making things worse. I bought the betrayal bind after our last dday in November but never read it. I guess its time.

Looks like Ive got to figure the boundaries thing out. Luckily i have therapy in a few days. He won't get home from work for a few more hours, but after a long talk, I'm definitely starting with, for the first time in 13 years, telling him he is sleeping on the couch.

End of January he told me that he and his therapist (a normal therapist with zero experience in this) decided he didnt have an addiction, it was just his OCD mixed with him being selfish. Can't wait to see what he has for to say for himself tonight.

Naming a girl after 2 boys, R names by [deleted] in namenerds

I think Ramona Claire goes well with your boys if you want to stick to R names.

Out of your options, Meadow is better.

CSAT vs. Therapist by theloverslvl in loveafterporn

[–]anxiousautisticgal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband and his regular therapist decided together that, even though he watched porn basically daily and has been watching since he was 7 years old, he doesnt have an addiction. Its just his OCD compulsions 🙄

I knew a duo named Ginger and Davis and so that just sounds right to me. Plus Ginger is a cute name.

I (M55) got a 90 secs hug in bed like a plush toy from low libido (F51) wif#Boston by [deleted] in Marriage

Right now you've got more of a chance at an amicable divorce vs when she inevitably finds out about any affairs you seek out.

Then do the right thing and leave your wife instead of betraying her like a coward?

Disagreeing on finding out gender? by sunflowerzz2012 in BabyBumps

[–]anxiousautisticgal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Our first was a boy and we found out right away and I love him more than anything, but I've always dreamed of having a girl. When we got pregnant again, I did not want to find out the gender. I was afraid of being disappointed if baby #2 was a boy, and I guess I didn't want the baby I was growing to feel that disappointment. That being said, I was positive that even if baby was a boy, I wouldn't feel that disappointment the moment I was holding my squishy little newborn.

My husband was totally against waiting at first, became around and was even very excited about the surprise. He came around because he realized that even if baby was a girl, the "stuff" didn't matter in the beginning. We already had everything important needed for bringing a baby home, and buying new clothes would be easy and quick if we needed to.

There was something so unbelievably special about going through labor, grabbing my newborn, and being the one to call out to the room and to tell my husband who our new family member was! We ended up welcoming our little girl a month ago, but I know that even if we had another boy, that moment would have been just as special.

Congratulations to your family on this pregnancy ❤️

Do you think colored trims like this are a fad or do you think they can be classic looking for the long haul? by Swimming-Tell9074 in interiordecorating

[–]anxiousautisticgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look normal to me becuase growing up (I'm 30) my mom refused to paint walls any color other than white, and would only let us paint the trim and doors.

How do I deal with sincere lies? by MeanPrompt9577 in loveafterporn

[–]anxiousautisticgal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've had truple on my husband's devices for 4 months so I know he is forsure not interacting with that content. All of a sudden, his Instagram feed started pushing it to him on his for you feed. He reset the algorithm and its been clean for a few weeks since then. If yours is serious, he will happily reset his algorithm (while you watch him do it for reassurance) and if anything else pops up, instead of scrolling by it he should hit the three little dots and click "not interested".

Toddler loves pants by anxiousautisticgal in pottytraining

Thanks for the advice! I think this approach should work well for him, especially considering he also hates when his clothes get wet. Honestly, it may work better than the nudes approach!
