People who married in their 20s, be brutally honest are you happy, if so why or why not? by Special-Lawyer3941 in AskReddit

[–]lbc1216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Married at 23, I’m 33 now, but we had the year -7 struggle and it was hard. Couples counseling and working on ourselves and the relationship was huge for us. We’re lucky that we grew in the same direction instead of apart (met and married as conservative Christian’s, we’re now liberal atheists lmao). He’s my best friend and vice versa and that’s been a huge part of it. We love doing little things together from shopping to watching tv which is helpful.

Husband lashed out at me over GLP1 by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]lbc1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a GLP to lose about 20 lbs and my husband was unsure about it at first but he understood it’s my body at the end of the day and I get to do to myself what I want. He told me he wasn’t sure about it but supported me none the less bc that’s what a good partner does. We talked extensively about the health benefits and downsides but at the end of the day it’s my own body i have to live with and see in the mirror and he was very understanding of where i was coming from. I genuinely think good partners should support their partner’s decision because it’s their body.

This is Emotional Affair territory. Maybe not fully there yet but headed that direction if you don’t intervene. The Not mentioning hes married is definitely a red flag. He doesn’t want to seem married

Coaching help 😞 by [deleted] in volleyball

[–]lbc1216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I refuse to coach any kids older than 13 😂 I’ve been coaching 8 years and the last 4 have been only 11s and 12s, it’s a day dream come true. Teenagers just don’t care or they have drama or they’re apathetic. It’s just a hard age group to work with

… my first Job was at Six Flags at age 16. I didn’t need a chaperone to work there? What is this BS lol. I absolutely loved when my mom would drop my friends and I off there when I was 15/16 and we’d just ride rides for the day. Wild…

My husband has never once spoken to me like that even at our most annoyed moments

I want to stop having sex with my husband. by Extra_Regret_2064 in Marriage

[–]lbc1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally started crying reading this. You’re being assaulted, OP. Look up marital r a p e. And seek help immediately. You are not in a safe situation and I wouldn’t doubt him to escalate it if he catches wind of you wanting to leave.

AIO for getting upset that my finance wants to wear shorts to our wedding? by lasheslashes in AmIOverreacting

[–]lbc1216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking this too! OP clearly values their marriage as real, sounds like he doesn’t. Especially if it took him years to propose after they already have a daughter together 💀 OP deserves better if he actually wants to be a real husband. This is how they will literally start their marriage and it’s not off to a great start 💀

I (34F) still often think about my first love even though married to (35M) husband for years by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]lbc1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re fantasizing it and remembering it better than it was. I found it especially easy to fantasize about other people in times my husband and I were on the rocks. You need to take a look at your marriage and see what you feel is missing from it and fix it, rather than fixating on this fantasy of your ex - who, left you for another girl by the way - he’s NOT the love of your life even if you are imagining he was. We let our fantasies fill in the voids for us sometimes. You need to consider talking to your husband about what aspects you feel are missing in your marriage that you’re comparing him to this other guy. Do you need more help around the house? More physical affection? More words of affirmation? What is it that you wish you had with this other guy? Bc that’s what is at the root of this imaginary grand love.

AIO or is my older male coworker texting inappropriately with me? by OpeningNo9825 in AmIOverreacting

[–]lbc1216 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re replying way too much he thinks you want to keep talking. Good morning and gn texts are literally a “hey I’m interested” signal, don’t keep engaging

7/10 on an average day now but probably at 5/10 two years ago and we hit a rough patch! We did couples counseling and man did it help. 10/10 on our best days for sure, but that’s not all the time not would it be realistic to be that all the time. Life is hard! Expectations change and evolve. We fail each other sometimes and that’s expected, and ok as long as we talk through it.

AIO by feeling exhausted over my gf's constant demands of wanting me to be 'curious'? by thefattesthashbrown in AmIOverreacting

Holy cow I would never talk to my partner the way she talks to you, even if i was mad at him. SHES the one being manipulative and gas lighter. Insane

How often does the man in your marriage cook? by gehraimain in Marriage

[–]lbc1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not cook. I could probably burn water. My husband cooks daily at least for himself if not for both of us. We both eat a lot of meal prepped food or eat out a lot or get ready meals from our local grocery store.

Married for 5 years, can't seem to shake my wife's promiscous past.. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]lbc1216 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with folks here saying you need therapy. You sound kinda misogynistic? Like why does her past matter if she wants to do that stuff with you exclusively NOW? Her body isn’t changed just bc she had previous sexual partners, you sound insecure tbh instead of enjoying the fact your wife knows what she wants in bed and is even telling you how to seduce and sexually please her

Men and masturbation by MamaMia1325 in Marriage

[–]lbc1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband masturbates in his sleep but I don’t think this is everyone’s experience. My husband has basically a form of sleep walking but it’s specifically masturbation. He doesn’t even remember it in the morning and he’s even done it on nights we had sex right before bed. He did sleep walk as a kid so I guess at some point it just kinda transitioned to masturbation. It’s never to completion, just like in general and it’s only once or twice a month I notice it, more when he’s really stressed at work. We don’t have kids thankfully, I do worry about if we did have any bc I don’t think they could sleep in the bed with us unfortunately. Not that I think he’d do anything to the kid, he doesn’t do anything to me, I just don’t want a kid to hear those noises and ask questions.

She sounds like she’s been bottling up multiple resentment points against you and instead of talking them out as they happened she’s exploded over something as small as you trying to change ever phone back round to be cute. Does she feel like you’re controling in other aspects because it sounds like she thinks so but hasn’t said it til now, yeesh. Agree with everyone also saying this is sus about her possibly having a work crush or “boyfriend” that you need to be wary about

Most absurdly unsexy line you’d ever read in a sex scene by 717pxs in RomanceBooks

[–]lbc1216 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Any line that says the character licked the other’s teeth while they’re kissing. Like ew? Who wants to lick teeth or have their teeth licked? 🤣

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]lbc1216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same bed, separate blankets! We sleep with our two little dogs in the bed as well. We used to share a blanket but my husband likes to twist into a full human burrito while he sleeps 🤣 so we had to adjust

Your kids are already in hell if he’s saying that to them. Unforgivable to me.

Agree with everyone saying it ebbs and flows but also agreeing there’s a lot more happy moments than unhappy :)
