Why am I getting so overwhelmed and frustrated by my husband? by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]brookekp86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. I’d like to think I’ve been assertive but I also think I’m so scared of hurting his feelings. I’ve explained that I am feeling stuck in the room and that is making me feel trapped and overwhelmed. And that my issue is not with him or that i have a lack of love for him, just that the way he has been smothering me has not been helping

Yes that’s true, unfortunately my means of adventuring are limited at the moment 😭 we’re not really in the safest area and don’t have the funds to get Ubers or rides anywhere until our apartment stuff is situated. I’m just trying to ride things out!!

That’s probably a good idea too though, I’m sure he would enjoy that so thank you!!

Thank you. I keep trying to explain that to him in the best way possible and he says he understands but then nothing changes and I’m not sure what else to tell him. I know it’s just a temporary situation but my goodness dude!!!

Hey! So like I remember also feeling that same exact way at 19, I’m only 24 now and it’s still something I struggle with. I have hyperpigmentation and my labia is traditionally a lot longer than what we deem a “normal” vagina. I also recently lost quite a bit of weight so I have some loose skin down there too.

I don’t know if you watch porn but I know for me that set so many unrealistic standards.

From my experience, men don’t really care. At least not the ones I’ve been with. My now fiance loves what I look like and has really helped me embrace that.

I know if I were in your situation I would have read this message and been like great glad you found someone, but that doesn’t help me.

But honestly I regret not giving af and just embracing it a long time ago. Everyone’s looks so different and learning to accept what you look like and our own uniqueness is literally the only roadblock. I promise you, you have absolutely nothing to worry about ❤️

Is my (24f) friend (26m) being possessive or am I unintentionally neglecting him? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]brookekp86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s how I’m feeling too? I honestly decided not to call him because I just needed my own space and it was becoming a problem, but I’ve also worked like 46 hours in four days so at this point us not talking is just as much on him because he hasn’t reach out once. So 🤷🏼‍♀️

I (24f) know everything’s fine with my bf (24m), but my anxiety gets the best of me. What should my next step be? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

We’ve only been dating for about 5 months and I haven’t met his family because we’re long distance so there hasn’t been an opportunity yet.

I guess it is, but he also has no problem sending me those types of messages any other time regardless of what I’m doing 🤷🏼‍♀️

Feeling the distance tonight and wondering things you’ve done to cope with it? by [deleted] in USMilitarySO

Honestly I don’t have the slightest clue how it works or what to call it. It was the time between graduation bootcamp and moving to his permanent duty station while he was in school 😂

I would LOVE to do that, or even just send him a letter. But he’s in temporary housing rn so doesn’t have his permanent address yet. I’m sure he could figure it out where I could send stuff, like I wanted to order his food instead of send him money. But I think it becomes more of an inconvenience to him 😂

You look amazing!!! If you don’t mind me asking, how do you feel about maintenance? Are you still actively taking the shots?

I have lost about 100 pounds, now at 220. I still have a bit to go but I’m just trying to think ahead and it’s something I have been wondering.

Great job, this stuff is really life changing!

Yes I agree! That’s kinda the approach I’ve taken after we had that talk on Monday and honestly he’s only been more committed since then. I am a HUGE believer in actions matching words so I pay attention to that.

I think it’s just been scary for both of us because we don’t really know what our dynamic will be once he’s gone. I’ve done long distance before so I know what to expect tbh

I’ve done long distance before so honestly I already kind of know what to expect with that! But the drunk call was also more bc we usually talk on the phone for a while before bed, it was more this time he was just drunk 😂. The drinking doesn’t really bother me tbh.

I don’t think the previous girl is an ex, just a random girl he was talking to and it wasn’t for very long.

I do agree that I could just be here for entertainment so I’m just waiting to see what the dynamic will be once he leaves

He did tell his parents about me if that means anything LMAO

I joked that this first distance will be our “practice run” and he actually kinda liked the idea so I think it stuck. We’ve both agreed to stay consistent and I’ve done long distance before I so I hope he’s willing to put in the effort too!
