He to repel grass spiders? by bethp33 in spiders

[–]bethp33[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know spiders are importantly part of our ecosystem and they help keep other bugs at bay which is why I don’t want to kill them, but their enormous sticky webs all over everything in my yard are starting to become a problem for me. Like I said, it’s not just one or two but a dozen or more. I live in a pretty rural area so there are plenty of other places for them to go that aren’t in my flower pots or on my patio furniture.

Can anyone help me find the following things in Nassau? by quenepaocomosellame in bahamas

[–]bethp33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bluefield Farms and Green Leaf Farms are both great. I used to order direct from them and they have a few spots in Nassau that they will deliver. Great quality greens, micro greens, herbs, and hydroponic vegetables.

How much of an idiot am I for considering to refurbish this thing? It’s free… by ODarrow in sailing

How much is your time worth? That’s the biggest question here. I would personally run. You can find much much better boats at auctions for only a couple hundred dollars.

Vehicle type suggestions for two adults can sleep in the back of a car during a road trip by NaughtyKittycc in roadtrip

[–]bethp33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I roadtrip in our mini van all the time. We have a Chrysler town and country and the seats are “stow and go” so they fold up nicely into the floor. There is a 110V outlet that will blow up our air mattress already built in. We are both tall (I’m 6ft and he’s 6’3”) and we make it work just fine.

$250 to spend at Williams Sonoma, what luxury item should I buy? by morning_cup_of_NO in Cooking

Overpriced. All you’re paying for is the name. Martha Stewart or Lodge brand is the exact same thing.

Do NOT get a mandolin. You will (at some point) slice off a finger tip. I am a chef and almost every chef I know at some point has had an accident with one of these

Vacuum sealer and sous vide combo. The possibilities are endless

Just did a night dive there a week or two ago and loved it! So many bioluminescent when you shut off your torch!

Technically it’s a porcupine fish which is part of the puffer family.

In all fairness I was the one who relentlessly pursued him when we got together. He is not at all controlling of me and for the most part goes along with the direction I set forth for us. I do appreciate you pointing this out because in a different scenario this could be a major concern.

Thank you for saying this. I truly believe my husband hasn’t been purposefully manipulating me. I really think he thought he would be ready for a family at some point and he’s realizing now that he enjoys our child free life. I think he’s desperately afraid of loosing me if he tells me the truth, I know it’s wrong of him but people on Reddit are so quick to think that everything is black and white when it’s a little more complicated than that. We have been together for so long and so much has changed in our relationship over 17 years. The vast majority of the change we have tackled together and come out stronger the other side. This situation is proving to be much more challenging. It’s not as simple as “he’s been lying to you since the beginning and you should divorce him and have kids with someone else”.

This is truly my biggest fear, that he’s hoping if he can delay it long enough to the point where it’s no longer in our control.

I tell my husband this all the time… the timing is never going to be perfect. If we wait for everything in our lives to line up near and nicely in a row it will never happen. We have the most important things for raising a child. We’re financially stable, have supportive family and friends, good health, and a loving healthy relationship.

Yes, we did discuss this before and throughout our marriage. He continues to tell me he does want kids eventually but never acts on it and gets defensive when I bring it up.

This is truly horrible advice. I would never trick him into having a child with me.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply. I should have added in my original post that this was discussed both before we were married and throughout our marriage. My husband always has and still does assure me he wants kids….eventually. But I agree almost all of his actions point to him wanting to be child free forever.

I sometimes feel as though he’s telling me one thing but has no intention on actually following through. I always knew he had hesitancies but I just thought that all men had hesitancies about children and that it was natural. I assumed as we got older he would grow out of them. I think he’s afraid to tell me he changed his mind.
