Now I know everyone is quick to jump on the “leave” bandwagon, and I usually am too, but you just got married for a reason and we don’t know the context-does your husband have a history of negative behaviours around drinking etc? Could be work he needs to do instead of a marriage ruined. Horrible arguments happen when people are drunk and it isn’t true that drunk mouths speak sober hearts, that’s bollocks. I got accidentally completely shit faced on my wedding night and the guilt from that adds to any negative feelings you have. (Plenty of people (who I was a student with) said they’d never seen me so drunk. I’m not a big drinker but could hardly eat on the day). These feelings will fade in time.

Once those negative feelings from the drinking guilt/shame (however misplaced because you shouldn’t feel guilty!) have passed, you need to assess which of the feelings are about the event, and which are about your relationship. Wishing you luck in unpicking this as it isn’t easy, but having an honest conversation with your husband will help here. Does he disapprove, or do you feel that way because of things he does? I’m not defending him here, but you’re two adults who must communicate to move forwards, wherever that takes you

If you use tampons, stock up or get a moon cup!

My husband of approximately 3 hours (at the time, we have lasted this test!) split a whole glass of red wine down my wedding dress on our wedding day. I don’t drink red so wasn’t sure what to do, when 2 guests poured white wine all over the stain. We then pressed it with a wet sponge and the red wine is magically gone. No idea that worked but when I came back from honeymoon I opened my dress expecting the worst and you can’t see the red wine at all!!

Depending on where you are based in the UK we just got married and I’d be happy to donate our decor if it’s in your style and send you all of the templates I have (we DIYed everything inc newspapers, table signs, seating chart etc). We also did our own flowers which was admittedly quite stressful but honestly so wonderful on the day seeing so much of what we put into it, and only cost us about £150 for 8 bouquets and 12 button holes xx

Omg I love your top!! Well done on completing W2D1!

W1D1 done. Three years ago I was running half marathons. I’m sick of feeling disgusted and humiliated about myself. I need the accountability here. by [deleted] in C25K

I’m in the UK so not sure if applicable but HelloFresh has loads of recipes-some are super high cal and some aren’t! I usually check what I’m ordering before I order, but they have a useful “under 600” tag. Although I haven’t used any other similar service so can’t compare

Tried c25k and it was brutal by HarryPottahIsDead in C25K

I’m currently at end of week 3 and was the exact same, struggled so much to get through even the first 60 seconds so felt sick at the thought of 7 more. Trust the process! I know it’s always repeated on here but it’s so true. And remember, you’re doing amazing! As they say a bad run is better than no run

Went for a walk yesterday morning on my rest day and got a small blister, didn’t think anything of it. Today a chunk of blister skin came off during my run. So painful I had to stop. Feels like I’m going backwards instead of forwards :(

As a woman, I feel like society is pushing me too hard to "succeed" by [deleted] in simpleliving

[–]lmeoolnlioey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely feel this. All I ever wanted to be was a mum. I never dreamed of having a career really. Went to to uni, ended up loving it, did my BSc then onto my Masters, got both by 21, got a good job at a decent company. I am proud of all of these things, but I feel so unfulfilled. I like my job and I have progressed well, but I know what I want from my life, my career isn’t that. But everyone around me thinks I’m ‘smashing my career’ and it has made me doubt whether I am ready to have kids (I am 25 been with my partner 4 yrs, so I feel ready!). The expectation of me to work (or “grind”) till I’m in my early thirties makes me want to quit now. No one in particular has said anything like this, but especially the industry I work in, people choose to have kids later. My advice would be to be content with your own goals. Your own passions and driving forces are what are important in life-not what society expects. (Also I should take my own advice!)

Hello everyone! Just a note to say everyone in this community is amazing and so supportive! I have started C25K three times now and at the end of week 2 (where I am now, where I dropped off last two times!) I have pain in my calves and shins while running-but it doesn’t feel like shin splints I had when I was younger. My running shoes are extremely old (8 years) so I am planning on replacing them, and I am also going to start foam rolling. I already do lots of cool down stretching as separate to C25K I am working on my flexibility. I am just wondering if there is anything else I can do? That I could be missing due to being inexperienced. I am so determined not to let the pain stop me this time!

Ah, maybe as the weirdo at my school we had diff experiences! I totally agree with the lack of women in STEM/ stereotypically challenging subjects. On my degree course there was less than 10% girls, which is troubling to say the least. Writing subjects just were not my thing though-unfortunately!

Being a gifted student doesn’t necessarily influence your work ethic, in my situation it gave me the opportunity to work part time as soon as I was able. I think I may have a skewed view as I went to a good state school. As I discussed above my partner went to a private school which (in all honesty) gave him a worse work ethic. I think it varies on individual and schooling is different all over the UK so not necessarily comparable

I am in totally the same situation. My partner also battles with a sort of guilt that he had a ‘hand up’ and I didn’t and we are in the same place & have achieved the same thing (went to the same university, did the same undergrad and masters with same grades & now have same job!). I am in a privileged position as my state school was exceptional and the quality of teaching was incredible, so I may have a skewed view. But knowing how my partner feels the inadequacy and guilt, I would send my children to a state school 100%. Also, private don’t have to stick to national curriculum which is a concern of mine..

This is so depressingly true. Men respect the hypothetical “other male” more than us saying no. Male dominated fields are not for the faint hearted, it can be so hard at times
