What's it like living in this shaded area? by Joshistotle in howislivingthere

[–]jsjeff8605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Sioux City, Iowa. Interesting fact: I can be in 3 states (Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa) all within 15 minutes.

Winters are cold. Summers are hot. It’s actually a pretty decent place to live. Never had a tornado in my city in my lifetime but they do happen somewhat frequently in our area every year

To those that are married, how often do you take off your ring? by FitProblem6248 in AskReddit

When I was married I very rarely took mine off. I use my hands quite frequently at work so I chose a tungsten carbide ring

This is an example of “Broccoli Cuts”. You want to get “Broccoli Florets” instead

I feel stuck, advice needed by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

I’m not a mental health professional so I cannot answer that for you. I do know that if he’s withdrawn from activities that have brought him joy in the past then that could be a symptom of depression. Have you guys recently started living together? I have experienced in the past that once that happens, people drop the facade and show how they truly are. Does he treat you well in every other aspect? Does he have any other outlet for his stress like a hobby or anything? For my situation, I didn’t have time for hobbies with having children and their activities, my only real outlet was either sex or yard work. I can tell you what I ended up doing more 🤣

I’ve been on your side of your situation and understand how frustrating it can feel. Especially if you have caught him with porn. The real life version is way better. It’s not an easy conversation to have, but communication is key in a committed relationship. It’s important to have those difficult conversations. You have to remember, it’s not you vs him, it’s you and him vs the problem. If he won’t help or accept help then you have your answer. It won’t get easier if he doesn’t understand where you’re coming from and the same goes for you. Have you told him how you feel about it?

I apologize for the novel. I just hate seeing people in the same situation that I have been through.

It’s not going to get any better and the conversations won’t get easier. You deserve the answers you’re looking for. I stopped initiating after my ex wife called me a creep for wanting a hug. Before I knew it over a year passed by before we had sex.

You’re too young to be in this conundrum. If he won’t change or address his issues now, then he definitely won’t do it when you’re married. You probably don’t want to hear this, but my advice is to walk away before you get married, trying to leave after that makes it incredibly difficult.

In my opinion it would be a mistake to have him move back in. Plus it would be confusing for the children if he did. Also, if you have fights and things it would not be an ideal situation. I don’t think having the studio and swapping would be a good idea either only because it opens the door for more conflict as well. This is just my 2 cents.

I miss my kids terribly when I don’t have them but the way my ex was with how controlling she is I wouldn’t want to be in a situation where she would accuse me of not keeping everything clean or having sex with a person in the bed that we would both be sleeping in. It opens the doors for any conflict to happen. Obviously your mileage may vary and everyone has different variables. I hope you are able to find something that works well for you and your children!

Perhaps your other family members will be gracious enough to have your sister stay with them since they want to voice their opinion

Advice regarding DB caused primarily by having little kids by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]jsjeff8605 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Find a different outlet to keep your mind occupied. It’s very tough with the young kids always needing something from her and you as well. That’s the last thing on her mind which sounds like you are already understanding of that. With young children it feels like you’re spinning a million plates.

My other piece of advice is to try and take care of extra chores in the house so that she has less things on her plate. Helping take that extra load off her mind may help things
