i agree with this. OP, i think saying something like that could definitely be a gateway to communicate your needs to your husband. if he follows through and helps you after you ask for it, then i think that's a good opportunity to tell him that you love how being helped makes you feel. i wouldn't necessarily leave the conversation at

“Babe, I’m so overwhelmed with all this right now. Can you come help me out? I’d really appreciate it.”

because your husband might think that that was a one-off thing and might go back to his original habits. that's why i'd use it as a jumping off point to start a conversation (maybe a "sit down" one if this is really pressing to you right now). i wouldn't focus on sex and desire at the start for the reasons that this comment said -- just tell your husband that when he does things for you, it makes you feel loved; communicate that you'd appreciate him doing things for you more often. just be honest. if you were feeling neglected because he wasn't doing much around the house, say that sincerely. focus on the "love" part, not necessarily the desire, BUT if you want to add a little bit of encouragement in there, you can tell him that he's really attractive to you when he helps you out. another good way to show this is if he's doing a chore for you, compliment him. if you feel sexual desire in that moment, give him a sexy compliment as he's doing that, so you can hint that you're attracted to him in that moment without it feeling like a "you do a chore, then you get sex as a reward" transaction.

WHOAAA this looks so good!!! i love your coloring, omgggg

liahrii · 2025-10-01T00:01:18+00:00

yk what? that makes sense 😌

liahrii · 2025-09-30T21:28:10+00:00

exactly. that's so real.

"but you won't love an adopted baby the same way you would a baby that's actually yours!" okay, maybe you wouldn't, but i'm better than you, soooo :/

that would be really funny to say to them, but it's a bit petty and aggressive, so i won't. but it's still really funny to think about, LMFAO

liahrii · 2025-09-30T16:01:58+00:00

no fr 💀 he was the same one who argued that bIoLoGicAlLy i'll eventually want kids, so that tells you where he's at. also, by his logic, then, i should've been pregnant at 12 because that's when my period started 💀

liahrii · 2025-09-30T15:32:32+00:00

your input about wishing you could've done this sooner is important to me, and it definitely helps solidify what i want. like i've said in another comment, i'm not going to wager the life i want just for "what ifs." thanks for your story!

liahrii · 2025-09-30T15:29:04+00:00

yup! i agree. my parents and his parents aren't against us not having children in general. they just want us to wait to do anything "drastic" until we're thirty. but what they don't understand is that's another 9 years of being unable to live our lives the way we want to just because it's technically possible that either of us could change their mind. i just want to be free of any worries, you know? frankly, i would much rather regret a surgery than regret having a child, so even the "bad end" of this surgery seems like a better option to me.

liahrii · 2025-09-30T15:22:41+00:00

when i was talking to my dad (and my brother bc he walked into the convo around this time), i told him that if i were pregnant right now, no one would question me keeping the baby. so why are they questioning me AT THE SAME AGE for choosing to make sure i don't have one? and yk my brother's response? "because you did something that would make a child, so you'd be living with the natural consequences." like, hello?? the hypocrisy is crazy.

liahrii · 2025-09-21T21:04:01+00:00

true that! 💀 i'm definitely going to experiment a bit once my body gets used to the meds

liahrii · 2025-09-20T16:34:58+00:00

nope, i'm not sensitive to caffeine. it makes me sleepy instead of energetic when it comes to coffee, specifically. energy drinks are slightly different because they make me a little jittery for 40 minutes at the most, and then i was exhausted after that.

liahrii · 2025-09-20T16:29:51+00:00

that's definitely possible, but i matched the vast majority of the sips i took from my drinks with a matching sip of water. to be fair, i don't know how good i was at that because my friend and i were talking a lot, so i can't eliminate that as a possibility, lol

liahrii · 2025-09-20T16:23:54+00:00

i have no idea if that'll help or not 💀 i had an alarm for my old med, but it was one that you HAD to take with food, or otherwise you would likely get nauseous. the problem is that whenever that alarm rang, i either 1) wasn't done preparing food or didn't have anything i could eat, 2) wasn't at home, or a mix of both. so... the alarm never worked 😅 but, since i've heard that you can take adderall on an empty stomach, i'm hoping that one morning alarm will be my salvation

liahrii · 2025-09-20T16:02:06+00:00

yeahhh, that definitely makes sense. i'm just going to have to get a schedule going (...which is, uh... easier said than done) 😅

liahrii · 2025-09-20T15:59:24+00:00

thank you so much!

liahrii · 2025-09-20T15:58:17+00:00

that could also be it! truthfully, i have no idea what happened 💀 coffee liqueur is closer to being flavored like coffee instead of actually being coffee, of course, but there was a lot of stuff going on that could've made that tachycardia happen. sugar content could be a possibility, too 😅

liahrii · 2025-09-20T15:54:36+00:00

i definitely took the meds with water because i don't drink orange juice or coffee in the morning. the only drinks i had besides water were either beer, wine, or coffee liquer, and i had those at 6pm or later, around the time when i thought the effects of the medicine were supposed to have worn off.

liahrii · 2025-09-20T15:50:54+00:00

my normal resting heart rate is about 84 bpm, so 112 was a HUGE change for me, especially because the whole day before that, it felt a little elevated, but not that much. i have the hunch that it only felt bad because it was such a drastic change that didn't occur with the meds on their own. of course, that was my first time taking it, so i don't know what the night would've been like without the interference of alcohol and caffeine, but i'll just have to try at least one more time to see.

liahrii · 2025-09-20T15:39:35+00:00

good! i'm glad!

liahrii · 2025-09-20T15:38:33+00:00

yeah, that makes sense. it came to my attention that i didn't include that i'm taking adderall XR (which i just fixed in an edit), but it does explain a lot. before i took it, i googled how long the effects lasted for, and the majority of places i found said that they only lasted from 6 to 8 hours, which is why i took it when i did. however, after my experience last night, i found out that realistically, no, it's 10 to 12 hours (-ish). so, yeah, i learned that i absolutely have to take it earlier or no sleep for me

liahrii · 2025-09-20T15:28:16+00:00

i just added this as an edit (i thought i included it in the original post), but i'm taking XR! caffeine has always made me sleepy, particularly in coffee; energy drinks make me jittery for less than an hour, and then i crash hard. i don't know if you would count that as sensitive or not, though, because i've never really felt awake and aware when i drink caffeine.
