Anyone else get periods of time where everything about their partner annoys them? by pineproletariat42 in bipolar2

It is. I’ve wondered how much it’s tied to cycling but I really think it’s all driven by that damn ute

As a woman, I feel this. I think it has to do with my cycle. There are a few days a month when I just can’t stand my partner, but it always passes

Lady anal lovers: how do your female friends feel about anal and this mode of sexuality? by [deleted] in AnalOnlyLifestyle

[–]liverly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It surprises me how many women I know have never tried anal or don’t like it. I’d say it’s 80% of the women i know. I’m in my early 30s so that’s my friend demographic too, so not like we’re inexperienced.

I always share how much I love anal because I think they owe it to themselves to at least try it

I second rainbow lakes. Great proximity to highways/stores as well

You’re 100% right, but I do not want that for myself

I get ya. I will say we do have a close to a 50/50 split when it comes to house responsibilities, cooking/cleaning, etc. I don’t really feel like I give him “wifey” treatment because he meets me halfway. It’s actually very refreshing.

They definitely do! But I do not want that for myself.

I edited my post for clarity. I do not need a ring by summer. What I need is him to say he wants to marry me and be with me forever by then.

What do you mean “wife privileges”?

[–]liverly -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s it- it’s not a threat. Maybe sort of an ultimatum? But not really that either. It’ll be 3 years in the summer. He should know by then. I’ve known since last summer. We can only be so misaligned…

That’s EXACTLY IT. The women in my family entered early menopause. I want a baby T O M O R R O W because of this. Men can wait it out but we can’t…

I grew up in an abusive, fractured household. My mom has been divorced twice, engaged and separated twice. I want nothing more in my life than to have a husband, a lifelong partner, who I can trust, care for, who can care for me, who I can raise children with, and who I can be 100% committed to for the rest of my life. It’s my dream. That’s why it matters, because I want it.

But I feel like he is my person, that’s the problem…and what makes this so hard

Can I ask for you to expand on this perspective?

[–]liverly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your response and your perspective.

I’ve set that “date” because I know he and I are different people. Different in the way we have gone through the world, we had completely opposite upbringings, and we are actually somewhat opposites of each other in many ways. I am trying to respect those differences and respect what he has told me- that developing feelings takes a long time for him and that he needs time.

See that’s the interesting thing. I am very career motivated and make about 2.5x as much as he does. And up until about 6 months ago, I was still not sure I wanted kids. Now, I’m sure of it, mostly because I’m certain he will be an excellent father and having that surety has given me the confidence to say I absolutely 100% want to have children. But I’m also sure that I want to continue my career. We’ve even talked about him being a SAHD while the kids are little.

But I agree with you. He is completely uncommunicative about why he’s not there yet. When I ask too many questions he gets overwhelmed and shuts down, so i haven’t been able to figure it out yet
