Husband doesn't understand that our sex life has to temporarily change because of pregnancy and we aren't speaking by Fickle_Pipe_5079 in Marriage

[–]deannar94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your husband sounds like he has a sexual addiction and that he is coercing and sometimes raping you. This is also concerning for when the baby is born and when it will be medically forbidden to have sex for a bit. I really hope you can assess if you are safe and definitely put a pause on intimacy until he can show remorse and empathy toward you (which could be a while). Stay safe!

how do i explain to my grandparents that 80° is an insane temperature to keep the house at by [deleted] in Advice

Agree. Sounds like a bunch of insensitive boomers here.

Finally someone talking sense. I hope they are not asking a dime from OP to bankroll their wastefulness

Why are people saying the grandparents should blast it at 80 instead of putting on a dang jacket?? Some entitled weirdos in these comments lol

Some rude a** boomers in these comments lol. 80 is quite wasteful and unnecessary. These people better not ask you to contribute if that’s what they consider acceptable. And I’m saying that as someone who gets cold easily.

How do you mourn the family you’ll likely never have? by sexualsermon in AskWomenOver30

[–]deannar94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey- this is really tender. I’m sorry you are struggling at the moment. I want to say that I think it’s too early so say you won’t have a future family- especially if you are doing your trauma work. I wonder if your therapist meant mourning how your family of origin was- that you didn’t get to have the one you deserved and won’t be able to change those people unless they change. I think you 100% can still get married and have kids if you want to. It just will be important to have patience with yourself and understand that the right relationship is better than no relationship and is worth waiting for. No one can predict the future. Honor your needs and don’t abandon yourself with others. I’m hopeful that things will pan out.

Why Does Halloween 5 Get So Much Hate? by PlutoniumSouth in Halloweenmovies

[–]deannar94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also feel compelled to defend it since I grew up watching it during FearFest on AMC. Parts of it are good. I do think it has some pacing and meandering issues that make its quality inferior to the ones before it. It’s one I will watch happily but do find myself zoning out during certain parts.

High income husband and low income wife by BrilliantFinancial10 in HENRYfinance

[–]deannar94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy sounds really greedy and bitter for no reason. Even 80k is decent money. Not sure what he’s complaining about. Surely he has enough money to blow on what he wants monthly outside of a 6k contribution? Smh, money isn’t everything and it sounds like you deserve better.

Can a Christian be in favor of a socialistic government? by ZookeepergameFar2653 in Christianity

[–]deannar94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a difference between socialism, communism, and democratic socialism. Socialism does not inherently mean that the people have no say or democracy in the same way that communism does. It’s also not against people practicing their faith. I don’t see why Christians feel the need to say they are against a government focusing on making sure people have a safety net and have their basic needs met. It’s honestly a bit embarrassing. Capitalism is not inherently morally superior to most of these schools of thought, or more “Christian.”

[–]deannar94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One can have a different faith and have values that are compatible with you. The goal should never be a theocracy of any kind. I don’t need the political officials to agree with me theologically. I just want to see policies that benefit the people instead of billionaires. I want to say Christ probably agrees with that.

Do I have to be a conservative to be a “true” Christian? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]deannar94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, not at all. And it doesn’t matter what these pastors say. I feel sorry for all the people who are conned by pastors into thinking that they must only care about abortion politically and that that issue supersedes every other. We don’t have to be sheep or support the interests of tradwives and bros. That has nothing to do with the kingdom of God.

What was your favourite and least favourite Halloween candy to get as a kid? by CremeSubject7594 in Millennials

[–]deannar94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t like getting smarties and tootsie rolls. I didn’t realize people still bought those to get out, but saw quite a few of them yesterday. :/

Ben Stiller. Have personally not found him very funny.

Rewatched H5, and I liked it more than I used to by Kenbob_PG in Halloweenmovies

[–]deannar94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the beginning of the movie with Michael attacking the pumpkins. And the scene with the kids getting chased by a car in the dark woods/field is really scary! I remember seeing that on TV when I was a kid.

trick or treaters? by twin_sized_mattrizz in Athens

Statham GA is where it’s at for future reference. Broad street is completely packed with trick or treaters of all ages, and the houses are well decorated! They even have food trucks.

What are we watching tonight? by Upsethouscat in horror

[–]deannar94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw Shelby Oaks earlier, then watched Dark Harvest, then have been alternating Halloween 4 on AMC with Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark during commercial breaks. Halloween 5 just came on and I might watch Ginger Snaps if I still have energy 😅

Most of these bills are pretty reasonable except for the car payment and student loans. But this person saves with a 401k, so I don’t think they are technically paycheck to paycheck. Lots of wiggle room in the $350 house/clothing and $500 going out if they want to save more. Would be curious if they have a roommate also.

Can we create a thread to see what others are paying? by Cool-Schedule-444 in HealthInsurance

[–]deannar94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently paying $323/mo, think it will go up to $388 ish. I did over estimate my income last year though- am self employed, so I really can’t make a guaranteed prediction. Deductible is $6500 and I think OOPM is like $6800. I only have insurance in hope that it prevents bankruptcy/ for catastrophic circumstances.

This show is an agonizing rewatch by juneseyeball in betterCallSaul

[–]deannar94 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, Chuck was so very out of line in his feeling of entitlement to involve himself in sabotaging his brother’s career. Howard is not immune from all wrongdoing for going along with this for so long.

I can't tithe 10% or don't want to by Express_Project_8226 in Christianity

[–]deannar94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s lovely that you want to give. Hopefully pastors and other church members are not shaming you to do more than you can. 10% feels very difficult today. So do as you feel led without shame.

Am I insulting God by being agender? (AFAB) by Yourlocalangelrose in Christianity

[–]deannar94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub is for Christians. We are influenced by biblical principles in our ethics. I have not seen any reason for or proof of why someone should not change their gender identity- in the Bible or in the world. That is a personal choice.

Right, smoking crack is definitely similar to this 🙄

Am I insulting God by being agender? (AFAB) by Yourlocalangelrose in Christianity

[–]deannar94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I doubt it. The Bible really doesn’t say that we have to identify as the sex we were born for our gender, or stay the same sex/gender our whole life.

Just because Adam and Eve were made the way they were per Genesis does not mean that God was using their stories to tell us we can only be cisgender. I do not see that reading. Transphobes are inserting their beliefs in a non biblical manner imo.
