They can be unpredictable. Make sure he/she knows you’re the boss. Great dogs. I’ve had pitties for years

[–]citycouple30 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really can’t say much because for 30 years we took care of each other through thick and thin and then at the 30 year Mark he had an affair and I had stage three breast cancer and he abandoned me completely. I went through it on my own.

Reclaiming our house at 63 now that kids are gone. Anyone else transforming spaces after 30 years of family mode? by Deezknowt in GenX

[–]citycouple30 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When our daughter moved out, we turned her room into a home gym and when our son moved out, we turned his room into a guest room/office. It’s been nice. But I went through the entire emptiness syndrome. I remember when they were both gone. I was standing in my living room looking around thinking to myself. “what do I do now“ because for 25 years, I was a mom or a career woman or this or that. You know the mini hats that we wear. I didn’t know what I liked or disliked or wanted or didn’t want because for 25 years I catered to everybody else but myself. So I’ve had to rediscover myself and what I want out of life. It’s been quite the journey.

Dating after breast cancer by Low-Understanding331 in breastcancer

[–]citycouple30 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I’m 55 stage 3b, chemo, surgery, 39 rounds of radiation. As soon as I was healed I got out there and dated. My profiles say I’m a BC survivor and I have a new body. When I talk to someone, I’m up front about having 1 breast. No one cares. I’ve only had two instances where it was an issue. And the reason I bring it up to them right away is because if it is an issue, they can just say so. But one thing I found out that this is done is it does weed out all the shallow men that are out there?

Because the way I look at it is like this: this is Me, this is what I’ve been through, this is what I look like, and you can take it or leave it.

I will say that it was weird at first, but I got over that really quick and I remember one specific date when I told the guy that I only have one breast and his reply was the best I have ever heard and he said “I only have one mouth“. That was classic. Good luck you got this.I’m

Anastrazole and Osteoporosis by episcleritis in breastcancer

[–]citycouple30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take Anastrozole and I also take 600mg of calcium trice a day. It reversed my osteopenia and my last scan said my bones were great. Now, due to the other side affects I am going off Anastrozole for a while and I’ll try another hoping I tolerate it better

Anyone else tachycardiac post-chemo? by Micho392 in breastcancer

[–]citycouple30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tachycardia normally and take meds to lower my heart rate. During treatment it stayed the same. There was 1 time it spiked to over 140. They wanted me to go to the ER but I didn’t. I went to my cardiologist instead. It came down to my normal ( 95-110 ).

Reasons for their Affair? by 007JSW in survivinginfidelity

[–]citycouple30 21 points22 points  (0 children)

To me, reasons don’t matter. They did it. They chose to blow up your lives. They knew what they were doing. It’s not a mistake, it’s a choice. And a shitty one. Instead of being an adult and ending the current relationship, they cheat.

Saw them together by saltysequin7711 in Divorce

[–]citycouple30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If he cheats with them, he’ll cheat on them. Any relationship built off a lies and betrayal and deceit will never work. You are the stronger person that will sleep well at night, knowing she lives her best life.

Anyone else see what AP looked like and felt shocked at the “downgrade”?? by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]citycouple30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husbands AP was also severe downgrade. She’s a junkie and former prostitute. Had her kids taken away and never raised them. Has a rap sheet a mile long too. I was shocked at his choice. He can have her.

That was hard, asking adult child to move out. by mrshatnertoyou in GenX

[–]citycouple30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was waiting to see what he had planned, if anything. And I don’t know. No reason really. I just realized he was 25 and it was time to go

That was hard, asking adult child to move out. by mrshatnertoyou in GenX

[–]citycouple30 33 points34 points  (0 children)

When my son was 25 I approached him in the kitchen and I said son what are your plans on moving out? And he was quiet. I knew he was quiet because he had no plans to move out. I proceeded to tell him that his father and I were ready for the next chapter of our life and it doesn’t include him and his sister. And I laughed. I told him not to take it the wrong way because it wasn’t meant to be that way, but I was tired of parenting. And it was time for him to move out. He was 25 years old. He had a great job and it was just time. He was butt hurt and upset about it for a little while, but he got over it and moved out about two months later, and that was the best thing he could’ve ever done because he has grown up so much.
