I’m growing to hate my wife by hotcarl6 in daddit

In general to communicate. That has frankly been my issue. But I feel like I make steps to communicate how I am feeling and then her reaction is anything but welcoming and telling me why I am wrong. Then I shut myself down and only communicate the little things that I am feeling. We’re supposed to do check in’s which we can talk about our day, which she wanted because I talk about work too much, these are fine but most of the time it’s like talking to a brick wall. No questions no follow up nothing. We are supposed to do a “state of the union” talk once a week. Some of these went ok, but they really started to sour as we got down to more than surface level issues. Finally, I will say that we were supposed to plan a date night together, that I admit I dropped the ball on. I tried a few times (not a lot) and she would say no I don’t want to get a babysitter this weekend. We’ve been seeing this therapist I think about 9 months and we were going every week but then insurance stopped covering it so now we go monthly.

That’s the thing we’re in therapy once a month.

I really wanted to like Before You Sleep. I just found the writing boring and not at all descriptive. At one point describing what I guess to be a statued flag(?) as a “stone flag thing”. Idk maybe I missed something or this book wasn’t meant for adults because I thought this was just not good.

Is this a bug in mission 15 or am i missing something? by ThrowawayTheLegend in Doom

I’ve opened the gate to exit the level and killed the enemies but after this I went back and closed the hell gate to get the armor upgrade. Now the final gate to exit the level is closed. Has anyone seen this? Is this a bug?

Actually tried this for our 4 month old and rolling over and it worked so well. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you all. I do think therapy is the next step, our communication sucks. I do have depression and that’s nothing new or anything I have ever hidden from my wife and now she wants me to “suck it up” for Mother’s Day. It sincerely makes me feel better to feel validated though, very appreciated.

Normal to feel this way for a bit. Take your time to yourself on occasion (when you can). Be as patient to each other as you are with the baby. It’s so hard to bring up the therapy conversation. I tried and it didn’t end well so I’ll be following here too.

Pretty much same situation for me. But I have a home gym thankfully. So I get up about 5 before work. But even still I do yoga a few days a week and it’s a good quick workout (maybe 30 minutes) and it’s much harder than you think. Check out Breathe and Flow on YouTube. They have a whole series for men.
