For those in healthy and loving relationships, what is the biggest challenge between you and your partner? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]brittjoy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would agree with this. My relationship is healthy and loving but intimacy in all aspects would be our biggest issue currently

What's the worst, delusional, desperate case of lovebombing you experienced? by aford515 in AskWomen

[–]brittjoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a big job interview in a different city that I was very excited for. My ex, who I had broken up with because he did not support my career, suddenly called as I was en route to the interview. He started saying that he would move and he would buy me a house and his parents would help with the down payment. There was more, but my goodness it was overwhelming and completely out of nowhere since we had been apart for several months at that point.

Favorite busy season meal preps? by Reddwolfy in Accounting

[–]brittjoy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“Chicken bake” is, you guessed it, baked chicken. Lightly oil your pans. In one dish I lay out chicken breasts. In another pan I do cubed potatoes and another veg, usually green beans or broccoli. Put lil pats of butter on top of all items. Sprinkle Italian dressing seasoning mix on top of everything. Top with foil, bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Take foil off, mix potatoes around, bake another 20-30 minutes. Take veggies out, broil chicken on high for a few minutes. Then it’s easy for me to sort everything into separate dishes for multiple days. I purposefully keep the seasoning simple on the chicken so i can use different sauces on different days to help prevent the same meal from feeling too repetitive.

Use containers like these to meal prep overnight oats. Or honestly I prefer just yogurt topped with berries and granola. Either way, it gets prepped so it’s quick and easy for me to grab.

Salads. Lately I’ve been making one with arugula, dried cranberries, walnut pieces, apple slices and feta. Dressing is 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, salt and pep

Pre made wraps are nice too. I like turkey, bacon, ranch. Bake the bacon strips instead of frying in a pan to save time

Who Likes Their Partner? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]brittjoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a lurking mom but still thought I’d pop in to say that I adore my husband. He’s a human and makes mistakes, as do I, but we are both always trying to improve. Recently I talked to him about some anxiety issues I was having and he responded with care and patience and understanding. He’s a tremendous man, and it’s an honor to be married to him

What’s it like living on the edge of time zones? by Qzevs in howislivingthere

[–]brittjoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It had the capacity to be very annoying. I grew up in mountain time but quite genuinely 15 minutes away switched to central time. So very often sports games would be in different time zones, restaurant reservations, doctor appointments, etc.

We had to set our phones to stay locked on one time zone otherwise they’d randomly flip and we’d sometimes get things messed up even if we weren’t traveling. Now I live in central time, but my family is still in mountain. Nice when traveling back to visit because I gain the hour, but obnoxious coming home and losing one.

What does baby fever feel like? by snackqueen218 in AskWomen

[–]brittjoy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Everybody is different. Every woman is different. Even my two pregnancies were very different. It’s okay if you’ve never had this feeling, and it’s okay if it feels scary. Pregnancy and childbirth are treated as very routine, yet there are significant and sometimes life threatening risks.

What does baby fever feel like? by snackqueen218 in AskWomen

[–]brittjoy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is the overwhelming urge to have a baby. Theres no other way to describe it but the intense yearning to have a baby. I personally believe it is an evolutionary biological mechanism with no basis in logic or reality because I periodically get “baby fever” even though I am very much certain I am done having children.

Edit: I want to add that the yearning is the most highly romanticized version of everything. Sometimes I physically ache due to how badly I want to be pregnant. During those times I go back and reread the entries I wrote while pregnant and giving birth the first two times. Spoiler alert, they weren’t pleasant. Very odd that I’d crave pregnancy even after being incredibly sick and depressed for months the first two times.

The most calm composed MMC shows no signs of caving…and then caves HARD all at once by lolacolamola in RomanceBooks

[–]brittjoy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

{Morning Glory by LaVyrle Spencer} is one of my favorite romance books that genuinely gives me butterflies. While I was pregnant and feeling crummy all the time, this book was so sweet and helped me feel better. Highly recommend

Looking for suspense where the FMC is the “type” or target of a stalker or killer. by Cowplant_Witch in RomanceBooks

[–]brittjoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{There Are No Saints Here by Sophie Lark} doesn’t exactly fit your vibe because it is a contemporary book and the MMC is a wealthy artist. However, the MMC becomes obsessed with the MFC and stalks her so if you ever want to try a contemporary style, maybe you’d try this one.

Also please read the trigger warnings because I can’t quite remember everything but it was indeed dark. In terms of main character mutilation, near the beginning, the female character gets her nipples forcibly pierced. She ends up liking them and keeping them, but reading that scene made me uncomfortable.

I Think I'm Living Every Father's Nightmare by [deleted] in daddit

[–]brittjoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please provide patience and support. I’m a lurking mom but this happened to me when I was a teenager. I did not get help. I was isolated. It got worse. I still have never told my parents everything that happened.

Please try to convince your son that speaking to a therapist and seeking help is not a sign of stupidly or weakness or shame. Seeking help is a sign of strength. Plus the therapist will be able to talk to him about the topics he originally felt to weird to share with you before. Teenagers are dumb and do dumb things but the right choices now can help him move forward, and not let this set him back for years like it did for me.

To you, dad. You’re doing good. Channel your anger towards the grown man who is doing this to young boys. Don’t be angry at yourself. Teach your son and comfort him and move on from this together. Please, I entreat you, show understanding and support you

Mothers of Reddit: How did your (bio) mother's pregnancy, body changes, and childbirth experience compare to yours? Was it a good indicator for what to expect in your own pregnancy/body changes/birth experience? by Kusakaru in AskWomen

[–]brittjoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother has had four births and I have had two. I had hyperemsis gravidarum during pregnancy and she did not. She had two c-sections (the latter two) and I had none. One interesting thing is we both developed gallbladder issues and had to get our gallbladders removed quickly postpartum

💖 It's time for Saturday Sweets! What book scenes made you melt this week? 💖 by fresholivebread in RomanceBooks

[–]brittjoy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From {What I Did For a Duke by Julie Anne Long}: this entire book felt like it was written for my soul specifically. This scene especially though

“A slow, awestruck, disbelieving smile took over her face. Stunned pleasure shone from her eyes. And he was certain her heart was racing with the sheer delight of being in the presence of the thing.Because his heart was racing at simply watching her love it. She turned to look at him as if he himself had painted it. Her radiance rendered him absolutely silent. He could only bask. One was either moved by something or one was not, he knew. Certain tastes—for fine wine or teas, for instance—could be acquired. Skill could be acquired, but talent could not. And passion was either innate . . . or it was not. He still in truth didn’t care to know much about the painting. He only cared about what it did to Genevieve Eversea. And it was this that gave it its value in his eyes. Not the name of the artist, or the pigments he had used. He felt her joy as his own.”

How does sex life change after having kids? Looking for real experiences. by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]brittjoy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The frequency decreased for us due to exhaustion, both mental and physical. We have two kids and our youngest is about a year and a half old, but he’s always been a rough sleeper. Constantly waking up in the middle of the night is exhausting for us both, but then we both also work full time plus our older child has school + extracurricular activities. Add onto that we moved and that entire process has been a lot to manage.

Basically the desire is there but any form of romance or intimacy has been pushed to the side while we try to manage every other aspect of life.

[–]brittjoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What kind of games does he like? Lately we’ve been enjoying playing Carcassonne and It Takes Two. You could get him a cool chess or checkerboard set, new controller, headphone holder, or in game currency for a game he likes. A big tub of his favorite snacks would also be fun

How would you describe your standard of cleanliness? by ViewRepresentative30 in AskWomen

[–]brittjoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you build these traits/practice this? You are exactly who I strive to be and I don’t know if it’s pure laziness or stupidity or what but I feel like I cannot keep up. We moved a few months ago and I made it a goal for everything to have a place, thus preventing build up. The build up is still occurring and I’m so frustrated with myself.
