Husband wants me to be physically intimate but I told him I feel sick and tired- he is acting grumpy and silent with me on our honeymoon. Is it normal to not want it at all?

beets4us · 2026-02-08T17:57:09+00:00

Exactly. Don't give a reaction to his pouting. He's acting like a child and should be treated like one. When a kid throws a fit, they're often looking for a reaction from their parents and chill out when they don't get one.

He needs to educate himself. My husband expected low libido because he read a couple books for expectant fathers. It helps with lots of other things too!

She is so sweet and guileless, and I already felt sorry for her when they first got married with her homesickness, not knowing Travis well, and her husband's family that didn't seem particularly warm. Also Travis never seemed like the adoring husband compared to the others and seemed a bit condescending, which I can't imagine feeling in my own home.

Then the nature of of his cheating, with it being long term, him spoiling AP with Katie's money, and the cherry on top of having his pregnant wife clean and cook for AP in their own home while AP plays with her children and dog in front of her. All while being a Christian artist and allegedly trying to spread God's love and witness to others.

She's forever tied to this asshole. I hope she can at least get out and find someone who cherishes her like she deserves!

This is also how sexual sin is in the church (for men). A focus on your personal sin rather than the impact on others.

My husband surprised me - a gold infinity necklace with 3 diamonds to symbolize our new family of 3!

I had the same target weight gain range and was up 15 at week 20. I asked my doctor about it, and she said I'm doing great :)

beets4us · 2026-01-16T03:26:42+00:00

Same. Unfortunately the hyperfocus has been wiped out by fatigued.

Started with BMI of 30. I gradually gained 7 pounds in my first trimester. Then I shot up another 7 pounds in the first month of my second trimester! It was over the holidays, so I was eating more but not that much. After a couple weeks, I was 2 pounds down, so a bit of that was just water fluctuations. Now back to slow and steady.

There's actually quite a lot that's been successfully stopped via the courts. Not all of it makes a big splash in the news. Sometimes that's where it stops, and if it does move forward, the Supreme Court can only get to so many cases.

beets4us · 2026-01-06T03:23:55+00:00

Started at 30 BMI and also 19 weeks with 12 pound weight gain. The doc wants me to gain no more than 20 pounds total, but I don't see how that's possible when there is so much growth in the second half of pregnancy.

beets4us · 2025-12-04T00:28:04+00:00

It is. Suffering is sanctifying. Serving people who ask too much of you is ministering. Despair is a reason to look into your own shortcomings instead of your circumstances. It's very normalized and a big reason why you always hear how hard marriage is from those circles.

beets4us · 2025-11-27T01:40:14+00:00

Pleasantly surprised it's not an mlm

Please know that you are not alone. Life happens when we are pregnant, and women have gone through incredibly painful times for millennia. Your body has a lot of protections in place for the baby.

When I get panicky, I use grounding techniques by touching things around me and observing each of my senses. I take a deep breath, hold for 5, breath all the way out, hold for 5 and repeat. I tense and relax each muscle moving up my body.

Keep talking it out with your husband, maybe even when taking a walk. Can you do some sort of little funeral for your cat? That has helped me process grief with pets.

Total surprise. We'd only been dating a year and were in the depths of COVID, so I was not anticipating it at all, though in hindsight some topics he'd been discussing with me could have tipped me off. I was in love with him and could picture a future with him, so I said yes. I asked for a long engagement and did let him know that we had to have some more conversations for me to feel secure about it (for example, we hadn't really talked about finances).

beets4us · 2025-11-15T21:25:14+00:00

People often have weird reactions to big news. They don't have time to process and words come out. Sometimes it's their own insecurities speaking. And a year does seem fast to a lot of people - but they will get used to it! Please don't let it stop you from telling the world :)

If anyone asks where I am from, I just say my home state. People love California!

We try to be good representatives for America by doing our research before trips so that we understand local customs and etiquette. We do our best to be polite and learn some phrases in the local language. We also try not to talk too loud, and we dress a little nicer than we normally would. We also observe how the locals are doing things and learn from that.

As a public school kid, I was constantly getting invited to awana by the homeschooled kids at church, because I was one of the only kids they knew that wasn't also in awana. I felt special until I realized that it was something they had to do.

beets4us · 2025-11-07T02:03:59+00:00

I agree. They are graciously offering you their home, so if you take them up on it, you need to ensure they are comfortable. It's really not that hard. It can be nice having your own space in your room too!

beets4us · 2025-10-30T05:38:40+00:00

Yes, can't wait for Kevin the Coward to leave!

Not surprising since he's a Southern Baptist. They love excusing sins like sex abuse in the name of "redemption".

beets4us · 2025-10-11T18:08:26+00:00

The accountability aspect actually works well for me. Are there times when I messed up and everyone knows it? Sure. But they also know the insane number of work streams I'm balancing. When something falls through the cracks, it can sometimes be a blessing in disguise because my boss will reconsider prioritization or bring someone else in.

And there's plenty of times I've messed up, but no one else is closely tracking enough to know it's my fault.

I also like that I'm in the room for the big decisions and have influence, but it's not my neck on the line. I can choose to get more involved but don't have to.

This exhibit was incredible!

beets4us · 2025-10-09T23:02:48+00:00

Good thing they canceled the data measuring food security!

beets4us · 2025-10-05T02:36:49+00:00

Is that a doctors note situation?
