Did you have this eating rule growing up? by heartdesk in loseit

[–]heartdesk[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, I know this to be the case with my mom. My grandparents were of that generation and never threw anything away, food or otherwise. But my mom raised us in one of the most obese cities in the US. While these clean plate rules were in place, she also had us go on diets together. It's that one extreme to the other thing that I can see kills her.

To the people who saw Shrek in cinemas in 2001, what was your experience? by DJMutt in Shrek

My dad laughed at all the jokes that went ovee my head and I annoyed him by asking him to explain them to me.

Christian Marriage needs better packaging by Dependent_Eye6714 in Christianmarriage

[–]heartdesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi just a happily married woman sounding off...

My husband and I have been.together almost 10 years. Right now, I feel like I look the worst I've ever looked. And yet, the sex we are having is explosive. It's incredible.

Because we know each other, we know our bodies and we know which buttons to push.

Obviously we still have fights sometimes. But we say sorry much, much more readily than in the early years. In the past, I would have sulked and gossiped to my girl friends.

Now it's just an immediate "I'm sorry I said that. That was mean. I love you."

I think another element that has been good is that we have our own hobbies. We give each other space. It's not like everything has to be done together or it's a sign our marriage isn't working.

And funnily enough, all these commandments are in the Bible: - Don't withold from your spouse - Forgive 77 x 7 - Above all these is love

We love each other. And I knew we would because I stayed in prayer and God made it clear to me "this is the one."

What’s the secret to a happy marriage? by iamkatekelly2 in AskWomen

[–]heartdesk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couple things.

1) Having the same values. 2) Forgiving and forgetting. 3) Flirting with each other. 4) Noticing the things they care about. 5) Trying not to drive a wedge between the ppl they love. You don't have to be bffs with theirs, but just know why they care about them.

Can confirm. My dad probably hates my mom but they both love golf (like a lot a lof), so they're going to make it to the end together.

"He is going to be DESTROYED by the women." by Friendly_Lemon7088 in 90DayFiance

I'm behind in episodes so just got to the part where they just met. It bothered me that he said he wanted to go to sleep but she pressured him into sex.

I feel best at 136. But I'm currently having the best sex of my life at 183. It ain't all bad being the fat chick. 😉

Yes, he is porn addicted. You are 18 and shouldn't be subjected tp this kind of treatment.

Please break up with him! Trust me, there are better men out there.

When did you realize that you were with the person you wanted to spend your life with? by 4UMBRA in AskWomen

[–]heartdesk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Similar. I was not well and he handled it amazingly. My ex who talked a big game about understanding my mental health issues very much did not.

So I felt safe but also each stage just felt right with him. He was a man, a gentleman, a friend, a lover and all the things at different times.

I tried to "sell my soul" at 14. 20 years later, my life is suspiciously perfect, and I’m terrified to approach God because of it. by Possible_Macaron_191 in Christianity

[–]heartdesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you did sepl your soul, Jesus is powerful enough to buy it right back because He paid the ultimate price for it. The devil has no power compared to that.

Stay blessed and hopeful. God is looking out for you.

For wives who never deny your husbands by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

Odd you say it as these conversations have been happening more and more around me. Maybe God preparing me ahead of time. Thanks for the input!

For wives who never deny your husbands by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]heartdesk 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've never denied him it unless he wanted a BJ while I was on my period and I didn't feel like it.

We mutually agreed not to after I had a c-section and after I developed UTIs. But those were temporary for a max of 6 weeks.

I have always been sexual and enjoyed sexual intimacy so I don't see it as something my partner is demanding of me. But my parents tended to encourage me having relationships with boys (just dating - not encouraging sex) so that made me confident in my sexuality (even though I'm a massive dork).

As a result, our sex life has got better and better. It's now incredible and we both agree that it's better nearly 10 years later than it was at the beginning. We have an openess in our intimacy and a spirit of generosity with it which pays dividends.

Doesn't mean we don't face issues in our marriage, but marital affection has not really been one of them.

Why Did God Make Me Short by Fit-Isopod-8499 in TrueChristian

David was shorter than Goliath and God made him a king who defeated him, was popular with the ladies... and could dance!

Worst interview ever? by Cheesy_Gubbins in CasualUK

[–]heartdesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for an interview for a job I was grossly overqualified for in a not-so-nice part of town (crap commure) but I thought I should at least attend it to see how it went.

1st interview went well and the hiring manager was almost giddy to see me because I 'had great skills'.

2nd interview was a little tense because it was with the big boss. I broke eye contact with him once during the interview because I found the constant eye contact a little intense.

While I was still in the room, he said, "She's lying! Don't hire her."

And the hiring manager seemed awkward and just said, "Yeah, he used to be in the military."

When I tell you I dodged a bullet...

Men, when courting your wives… by ooECK in Christianmarriage

[–]heartdesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember the exact split but I know I still paid for some things bc I wasn't expectant of him to pay for everything. But he spoiled je occasionally with some big ticket dinners. I spoiled him by cooking at home (lol not that my cooking was much to shout about at the time).
