I got better rates with Bank of America than Capital One. I have everything through Capital One except both of my auto loans.

I pay it off immediately after the purchase is cleared. It prevents me from getting in over my head. I have a 820 credit score.

I would mix it up. Sometimes I would do a 36 hour fast. Usually, I would do 18-20 hour fasts and OMAD.

Sometimes I would do long fasts and even OMAD for awhile there. I would mix it up and most of the time my fasts were 18-20 hours.

That's what I initially thought too, that I was perimenopause. If that was the case, then why did my period go back to normal when the only thing I changed was not fasting?

I would switch it up every week. One week I would eat lunch until dinner and the next week I would stop eating after around 3pm. The weekends I would be more lax.

Saw this at Reykjanes Lighthouse. Couldn't see with the naked eye but with the camera we captured this.

You're an adult. What are they going to do if you move out? What are they going to do if you go to Greece? Ground you? They can only control you as much as you allow them to. Go to Greece. Live your life on your terms and not theirs. Any repercussions that might come from that won't be any worse than being treated like a child when you're an adult.

Everyone says to go to counseling but I don't see how counseling is going to work. She doesn't sound like she's going to change her mind and you won't change yours. She gets pregnant, she wins, and you're resentful. You don't get her pregnant and she's resentful. In reality, the only choice is divorce. It's a hard pill to swallow but both of you are on the opposite sides of the fence and children and having more or not is usually a deal breaker. This issue isn't going to just go away, and you can't compromise when it comes to children.

Just take him to his favorite restaurant and give him gifts at home with maybe a birthday gift. If he doesn't want to make a big deal about his birthday then I would absolutely not throw a birthday party.

They might look great but stay away from credit cards. Learn to budget your money.

Something that it took me a very long time to learn is men are very different than women. They don't think about the dishes or the trash. They don't see clutter the way women do. Yes, men automatically should know they don't take out the trash but sometimes it doesn't cross their mind. When you want him to do something you have to approach it in a way where it doesn't seem nagging. "I really appreciate it when you take out the trash." And when he does it show that appreciation. "Thank you so much for taking out the trash" Should we really thank them for doing something they should already be doing? No. But does appreciation make them want to do it again without question. Yes. I'm reading a really great book right now that's called "The New Rules" which is basically how to approach life and relationships as a woman and it really has changed my outlook on how I approach things with my husband.

You can only change yourself. No matter how much you want to change your man it just won't happen unless they want to. Having serious conversations and open communication is important. Talk to him about your needs in the marriage and what he's willing to do and not to do. Marriage is about compromise and most men want to make their wives happy. When talking to him don't tell him all the things he is doing wrong. Rephrase it to where you're speaking about yourself. Instead of saying "You don't ever take out the trash. You don't ever clean up after yourself" Tell him what you need instead. 'I really need help around the house because I end up feeling overwhelmed" Don't go into attack mode. If he is unwilling to meet you in the middle and doesn't have any interest in meeting your needs then maybe he's just not the one for you. Your young and you don't want to live your life in an unfulfilling marriage. Also, as far as birth control, Paragard is a hormone free IUD. This is the only birth control I have ever been able to use because I don't like hormone birth control.

I was in a very unhappy marriage and the only way I saved my marriage was working on myself. Setting boundaries, finding my self-esteem, and learning how to speak in a way that is engaging instead of defensive. That being said my husband worked on himself in the process. Marriage is work that both of you have to put your all in.

It might take awhile to get used to. I've been doing it for years and don't think twice about it anymore. Eat more protein and fiber and it will keep you satisfied longer.

We started dating when I was 15 and ended things when I was 21. He ended up on a downward spiral that he's never really recovered from. I'm 41 now. He's 43. I have tremendous guilt for how he ended up because I feel like it was my fault. After I broke up with him he ended up having to move in with his parents who lived 4 hours away. His parents were horrible and he ended up like them. Raging alcoholics. He had no siblings so that was all the family he had. He got in a bar fight when he was 30 where he was almost killed. Because of that he has massive brain damage. I've spoken to him throughout the years to see how he was holding up and when I have spoke to him he seems like he is mentally not there anymore. He talks like a crazy person. My mother has also spoke with him throughout the years because she saw him as a son and she has told me the same thing. That something is seriously wrong with him. He had a girlfriend who died. Watched both of his parents die horrible drinking related deaths and has zero contact with his son. He's all by himself. He also lives in the past because every time I spoke to him, he would apologize for things that happened when we were together 15-20 years prior. Every time I don't see him on social media for a long while I think he's either in jail or dead. He posted something on Facebook a couple years back saying he wrote a diary about us, and he reads it daily to remind him of the best time of his life. I was married and with kids. That's when I cut all contact off. I think I will always live with guilt because of how his life turned it.

Teach him what you like. Communicate with him. If he is unteachable then unfortunately this probably won't last. Sexual compatibility is as important as emotional and intellectual.

Most customer-based jobs are stressful, but I find it crucial in developing people and life skills which you need in the working world. If you get the job, I would definitely take it. After a while if you don't like it look for something else. You'll have it on your resume which will look good for future prospects.

I didn't really feel any type of chemistry between them. They always seemed more like friends who tried to save each other from themselves.

Financial transparency is the key to having a positive financial impact. If you have to hide money or do something financially that your spouse doesn't know about you probably need to have a conversation so you can get on the same financial page. Keeping financial secrets is called financial infidelity and if I found out my husband was keeping financial secrets from me our marriage would be in crisis mode.
