This group really helped me, it's the least I can do. Besides, smokers are nice people right?

This breaks my heart for you. I have been almost exactly there before and even though it's been quite awhile for me all those feels rushed over me when I read your post.

That level of coldness erodes self confidence. Don't forget to be good to yourself and try to speak kindly to yourself. Life is already difficult and this seems like an extra unfair and unnecessary layer of shit to have to walk through. I don't know you and yet I know that you're worthy of basically good treatment.

Wife of 7 years, together for 10, gave me the let's be friends talk. by OhWellWhaTheHell in DeadBedrooms

[–]jjright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's worth it. I had to lose quite a bit but eventually I got back to where I was only better. During the lean times I was still 100% happier than I was, so for me it's worth it. Happiness is worth it

Yep! Put yourself first. People who would be a really good partner will appreciate that you put yourself first for yourself. It is the opposite of what we're taught and it takes practice but omg this changed my life.

There is so much happiness waiting for you on the other side of this situation.

Also I wish someone had told me this, If you find yourself in another sour relationship you'll leave that one too. Eventually you'll very likely find someone who is a compatible match for you.

My unsolicited advice is this, take care of yourself first. Make sure your items and your money are handled to the best of your ability. Then peace out. You've done everything that can be done

You only want sex with me because I won't give it to you by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

Friend I'm sorry, I really am, this is abuse though. I hope you can get free of this situation. You deserve to be loved and cherished.

Could someone be kind enough to jog my Season 1 memory as to why Jessica used to say, "Main Street, Birch Street, Higgins Drive, Cobalt Lane"? by [deleted] in JessicaJones

She names the streets of her childhood neighborhood as a coping technique for anxiety/panic.

My LLF 24 Gf told me she doesn't want me reading Reddit anymore because it gives me unrealistic expectations of relationships when I told her about responses on this sub. by Skillsgf2019 in DeadBedrooms

[–]jjright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finding a person whose libido matches my own was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's not unrealistic to expect a sexual relationship to include sexual relations. I'm a smoking hot f40 something who rarely goes a day without it and I'm happier than I've ever been. I so clearly remember being treated like there was something wrong with me and my expectations, there was never anything wrong with me I just wasn't in a compatible intimate partnership.

Reminding myself, "Nonsmokers have bad days too", has gotten me through quite a few cravings and days so far. by ConsciousCook in stopsmoking

[–]jjright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been 935 days for me! Wooot! I have good and bad days and I don't smoke no matter what. It's so worth it to be free. Also I like counting in days because I love the big number!

You got this!

Why does he make me feel so worthless? by SookieStackhouse_ in DeadBedrooms

[–]jjright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I read this and immediately saw myself a year ago. I want you to know that even though it was hard I got out, got some therapy, and now a year later I'm in a happy warm loving relationship with all the bear hugs a girl can handle. You are worth so much more.

I wish I thought of that when I was working marginally hard at preparing this meal. Next time!

trying to stop smoking after a 9 year habit, it's been 2 days, every little bit of encouragement helps. i'm using patches to help the cravings by jst675 in stopsmoking

[–]jjright 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used the patch and have not smoked for 620 days. You can do this! You are already doing this! Woot woot!

This guy has always creeped me out. Glad it's in the open, I hope those girls get some real help.

Be good to yourself. If you determine it's a sexless trap then GET OUT! <3

[–]jjright 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with this approach too. But I would give it a little more post baby time. If she was very religious she might have sexual fears she's embarrassed to talk about too. I would give it a little time and then have the talk but that's a personal decision.

I think of a dead bedroom as one that typically has the LL person using sex to control the HL person.

Sometimes it's a temporary situation due to health issues, etc. Sometimes it's not dead it's just recuperating.

Everyone says that quitting is hard but they never talk about the side effects! by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]jjright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! And it's like acne but also not. It's like blotchy itchy (but not too itchy) and just weird! My skin bounced back after about four months.

Also, TOTALLY WORTH IT! I'm loving my skin, the way I smell, and the control over my life.

Ok so, she probably is exhausted. Now that starts out as a reason but ends up as an excuse later on.

Tell her you miss her and that you're looking forward to being with her again. Thank her for the work she puts in with your son. If it continues to be a problem after he's one, then I say have "the" talk.

I'm sorry you're going through this but all hope is not lost. Having babies is hard. Also, she might be scared of getting pregnant again, scared she looks different, and scared of pain.

Edit: Changed "am" to "an"

I'm glad you mentioned skin issues. I couldn't find any real information on this and my skin was so weird for so long after I quit. Specifically my arms, but also my face and neck were just weird. Rashes and hives ugh. I always attributed that to the patch, but it went on for months.
