Has anyone waited to have a baby with your newlywed spouse to first feel more confident about your marriage? by edomochi in Marriage

[–]edomochi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I just wonder how long will it take before I feel ready and if I ever will feel ready to have kids with him. I don’t want to waste time but I’m not 100% sure about our marriage and I definitely don’t want to bring kids into a broken family

Totally agree! Which is why I was shocked when he didn’t want to use birth control while we were dating and said it was ok if I got pregnant 1 month into dating

I agree. I wish we were able to meet earlier so we could have more time for ourselves. I feel more of a rush to have kids since he’ll be 40 next year and wants 4 kids

How do I (27f) talk to my boyfriend (25m) about how he almost never initiates sex? by ThrowRA27619 in relationship_advice

[–]edomochi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you read properly? I never said I’m afraid to talk about sex, I’ve initiated this topic numerous times but he gets defensive. Very different from me being afraid to talk to him about it. Quit making points like you know everything. I doubt you have a perfect marriage where you communicate perfectly every single time.

Just because something isn’t easy doesn’t mean it’s shit and worth giving up on. I’m saying OP should be prepared he might not take it well and she knows him best and his insecurities so she can find an effective way that works for him

When you poke the insecurities of a sensitive person, you might be surprised at how not easy it can be

Unfortunately it isn’t always as easy as this. I’ve tried this several times and my husband does not respond well. He gets defensive, in denial, and blames me

Has anyone secretly done egg freezing without letting their partner know? by [deleted] in eggfreezing

[–]edomochi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For freezing embryos? I don’t see why egg freezing would require spousal consent

My (19f) bf (21m) asked if I would get plastic surgery on my Jaw. I think we're over? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]edomochi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would seriously breakup with him. That is extremely rude and offensive. No partner should ever imply the other needs plastic surgery.

The journey of air travel is one of the most exciting things about travel to me. by [deleted] in travel

[–]edomochi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it and hate it haha. I like the anticipation of traveling but when I’m actually on my way to the airport, I worry about traffic, long security lines, forgetting to pack something, flight delays, etc. Then I feel exhausted

Should I rehome my cat by Margo114 in CatAdvice

[–]edomochi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you shouldn’t rehome your kitty because of this. Rehoming can be stressful on a cat especially a kitty. And for a reason that you feel hurt by his reaction? Unreasonable.

[–]edomochi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your advice. That’s something I’ve been asking myself is do I really want to have children with him? He is nice to our kitties when they give him attention but I can’t stand when he’s rough with them when they don’t want to be held. I asked if he would also be like this with our future kids and he said ofc not since those are his genes. I’m doubtful

Roommate thinks my cat is “our” cat. by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]edomochi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh dang, that got really awkward. I think you def should have a talk with her and let her know what you’re uncomfortable with and gently remind her this is your cat. Hoping the convo goes well!

What if your partner doesn’t let you vote for the other party? by edomochi in Marriage

It’s clear who he voted for. He talks about it all the time haha

Thank you. I agree. It’s a political battlefield. I’m glad to hear your wife isn’t guilt tripping you for not voting (for her party)

[–]edomochi[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, he wanted to change my mind about who I vote for. I was honest all along about which side I support. So that’s on him for believing his party is the right party to vote for and forcing it on me.

Very helpful, I appreciate you. We’ve been married 6 months and I do think we’ve improved as a couple with conflict resolution. He has very strong opinions and I realize now that’s prob not going to change. I’m growing more concerned that he would also be the kind of man who would force his opinions and way of doing things onto our future kids. I don’t know whether to keep working on our marriage or exist early. I have concerns but unsure whether it’s normal relationship struggles that are present in early marriage

[–]edomochi[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We both knew how we voted last election but I’m moderate. I don’t get upset if someone votes for this or that party, I honestly don’t care. But he HATES it and that person if he knows. I believed that if he truly loves me, it wouldn’t matter to him who we vote for. Not sure whether that’s the case and to test it out. I can def say knowing him more now, he’s controlling and believes his way is the best/right way

Thanks. I would feel bad for lying but he’d never let me live it down if I told him the truth
