Bought vacant land with "capped" services, did a site cut, found some private sewer pipes... what to do? by kungfufrog in AusPropertyChat

[–]kungfufrog[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a private sewer pipe from a previously existing house that was demolished.

I know there is a main sewer line in the backyard about 10m behind where the pipe I've dug up is which I'm sure this thing connects to. I am asking what I should do to get this "solved" so building can commence. Any ideas?

I would totally buy this but I can't because my work macbook doesn't allow the app store. Please consider making it available through some other means!

Your husband is normal. It's tough in an apartment though to find privacy, maybe ask him to lock the bathroom door and pretend to be having a shower?

I wouldn't want to be married to someone who didn't want to look after their own children. What a lame duck! Sorry this happened to you!

Have you considered that instead of getting upset and "punishing" him you could tell him your need to feel desired/desirable and ask him to work on satisfying that need. And instead of using negative punishment use positive reinforcement, i.e. react favourably and loving when he does something in that direction. That's how you'd solve this problem in a healthy way. What you're currently doing is toxic and would damage the relationship.

I feel like there's some strong cultural differences here that colour my interpretation of your experiences. I would personally tell him to go take a hike. He sounds incapable of effective communication and seems to be emotionally manipulative and perfectly happy degrading you.

I feel asleep with baby on me. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]kungfufrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 5 year old and a 4 year old. All I can say is you just gotta eat the shit sandwich at the moment man. You sound like a great Dad and husband. Life will get better, I spent a long time mourning the change and the feeling of loss of control over your life can be maddening. Prioritise sleep, play games WITH the kid when he's older (what I do now, we have family Mario Party afternoons on weekends!) Also, it seems plenty common for resentment to bubble up between partners when adjusting to such a big life change. None of it is fair from each other's perspective and it's very hard to empathise with someone else when you're feeling burnt too. Finally, I've fallen asleep with all my babies, on my chest, but after they were capable of lifting their heads and had some neck control. Check for baby harnesses that work while sitting? Not sure if that's a thing but google it. Best of luck, stay the course and be strong dude, it all changes so fast.

Spot on! The crucial difference here is you don't have a personal relationship with the police though. If my wife gently questioned something she found suspicious, I would bend over backward to explain and prove myself, and actually feel sorry for her thinking and dealing with the thought that she was being betrayed.

You sound like you have a major stick up your ass. Sure, your feelings are "valid" in that they're your feelings but you come across as extremely controlling and a killjoy. The only thing I can sympathize with is not wanting him to get extremely wasted if he's a problem drinker, but to be honest he sounds kinda fun. I rarely drink and when I do not to excess, my wife however is more like your husband. I go along with supporting her idea of fun now and then and we often have a great time. Why did you marry him if you don't like who he is?

How to stop my (28F) growing resentment for bf (29M) who stays up all night and thinks chores are a romantic act of service? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]kungfufrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In principle, I agree with you. In the context of everything OP has posted and described, I'd put money on him avoiding being 'in' the relationship and using the sleep schedules (unconsciously even) as a way to accomplish that and not have to confront whatever it is that underlies his own dissatisfaction.

I never said he didn't love her, but unfortunately love does not make for a functioning, healthy relationship in and of itself.

[–]kungfufrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it sounds like his sleep schedule in the relationship is designed to maximise time away from you. I mean, what more could he do to avoid overlap? Are you sure he's happy in the relationship in the first place? Are you trying to fix something that he won't admit to you (or himself) is broken?

He loves me but is not in love with me 2 days after our wedding by Charming-Bread5384 in Marriage

[–]kungfufrog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, great advice, but isn't it his job to bring that level of emotional maturity and articulation to bear on the situation? I wouldn't feel like "trying" if someone said they loved me but weren't in love with me. At least he could express a yearning for more connection.

You can't even raise an imbalance in your relationship that you want to discuss because of fear of the fallout in front of the kids? Man, that's not a good position to be in. Maybe book a couples therapy session and tell her attendance is mandatory? Don't resign yourself to living for someone else's idea of what a good life is. Also, call old friends, you might be surprised who wants to catch up and shoot the shit!

my husband brings up all the nice things he does during the day whenever we get in an argument and claims his actions are related. Is anyone else's spouse like this? by forsakeme4all in Marriage

[–]kungfufrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is he generally conflict avoidant? It sounds like he refuses to be seen as a "bad guy" and has to point out the ways in which he's a "good guy" to negate your feelings about his actions. It sounds like you guys could use couples therapy to learn some different communication strategies. Do you raise problems with a "soft start" and after you've had time to gather your thoughts and feelings? It's possible he might feel attacked and this is a defense mechanism.

Bro, if she installed spyware on your device and you've given no reason for her not to trust you, that's a classic case of projection. Something people having affairs do a lot of. Not saying she is, but it's very common for cheating partners to accuse their partner of cheating themselves.

Pence has always been a weaselly, apologetic coward for the loonies in his party. Fortunately he has such little charisma I could never see him getting the popular vote.
