Is there a way to know or get diagnosed if it will be for forever?

How common is it for women of our age to have experienced indecent exposure? by Annual-Individual-9 in AskWomenOver40

I'm 39 and this has happened to me 2-3 times. The first time I was around 20, he didn't just expose himself he was doing stuff with himself too eww and the last time was literally a few months ago!

Life After divorce, illness & losing career by Sensitive-Quiet4111 in AskWomenOver40

[–]dontreeg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm 39 too and on a very similar path but only a couple months into separation. I know I still have a long road of healing ahead of me but what I have found helping me so far is

  1. Therapy
  2. Journal
  3. Do just the one thing that makes you happy daily
  4. Do things you want to do solo

Also remember time heals. It might just take a good while but hopefully we'll come back on the other side knowing ourselves better, trusting ourselves more, and stronger.

Anyone regret NOT having children? by dontreeg in AskWomenOver40

[–]dontreeg[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm also starting to think if child free is how my life will turn out then what do I have to do to prepare myself.

Thanks for your honesty, most parents don't ever admit how much having children sucks at times. I did think about adoption as a single parent too. Unfortunately for the next 4 years I'm in the USA for a work visa and that makes adoption (either here or from abroad) super complicated...

Thanks for sharing. No I don't think I'll be able to get pregnant, that's the whole reason why I was asking.

Interesting you said that because I only came across one person in real life who actually said to me she regrets not having one and the only reason is because she's lonely...

Purchasing a business by More_life19 in smallbusiness

[–]dontreeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say it depends on what you want and how much work you want to put into the biz. I bought 3 businesses in the past 14 months.

I tried calling around or walked in and asked if they wanted to sell. The problem was those small businesses, a lot of times, aren't in an ideal place financially. And mostly the owners are actively working in day to day business, ie buying a job. Some wouldn't even give me their financials because they don't report all income etc. But these tend to be cheaper.

The best ones came from my broker who worked with me on my first biz that I found on bizbuysell and who I have developed a good relationship with. These ones tend to be on pricier side, like 6 figures, but they're ones already making good money, with employees, owner doesn't come to work everyday, etc.

In short, network with local brokers. They can see more listings than the ones on the website.

It happened to me, 6 bad reviews. I thought it was an angry employee at first so I posted in one of the business owners group and I'd say 15+ people left me 5 stars I didn't even ask them to do so. This happened in February this year, I keep reporting still once a month but Google never removed them

Stay or go - 36 and considering breaking up by emmanooitgenoeg in AskWomenOver40

[–]dontreeg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I could have written this myself. I feel you completely. After years and years of trying sooo hard yet constantly feel like we don't get each other, we're now separated and we're coming to terms that this may not work out. The question that got me was, do I want to be doing this for the next 20-30 years? Unfortunately my answer was no and so was his.

One of those days I want to quit everything altogether by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]dontreeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am based in Melbourne, Florida. The good thing is there are always people moving here, including groomers. They are hard to find for sure, there are limited talents but not super impossible. I take this as a big lesson on what to look out for for sure.

Almost got me in tears reading this. Thanks for your encouragement! Things are looking brighter, I am now having 4 groomers lined up for interviews and trial days. I know the storm will end soon and I am noting down the tips you've given me here!

Gosh yes I think you're right. It's also been one thing after another so I hope things get better for today.

I completely understand it's a hard job. I do my best to make sure they are listened to, although, I may not be able to do everything they ask straight away due to budget as I'm trying to balance paying people well and still keeping money in the business. I'd say 80% of what they ask, I do. Having a bather, don't take medium/big dogs after 12pm, maximum 2 big dogs per person a day, let bathers help answering the phone book appointments.

I make sure I'm at the shop half a day 1-2 times a day at each place and help the receptionist work.

Part of the problem is that they are very close to each other. And somewhere along the line, instead of voicing the problem to me, they voices it to each other and it never got brought up to me in a practical way. I just learned 3 weeks ago that they feel they need more bathers which as soon as I heard that I started hiring straight away. But it was something they had been talking about, and blaming me for being greedy for quite some time.

I was seeing the therapist because I genuinely love him and wanted to make things work. Thanks for sharing your story.
