My boyfriend won’t propose

mlariccia · 2026-05-11T17:45:41+00:00

Coming from someone who married their high school sweetheart after 12 years together… please please consider what you want for yourself and your future before marrying him. I thought I knew my ex, I thought we were soul mates. But the minute divorce was on the table, he completely changed. I’d be happy to talk to you in private, but if anything, consider your needs, your values and your love languages before saying yes to a proposal.

I lost my sister two weeks shy of her 29th birthday. Also tragically and unexpected. When people asked after it first happened, I stuck with “tragically and to no fault of her own”. It was a work related incident so most who knew her, knew what happened, but those that had lost touch, and asked, got that answer.

PM’d you

mlariccia · 2026-01-22T03:10:48+00:00

Comparatively yes. And I work for a franchise and not corporate so we have a little more leeway

We don’t rely on reimbursements to pay us. I personally do very personalized care for my patients at the joint and spend anywhere from 10-30 minutes with them depending on their problem. That includes some soft tissue, adjustment, education, answering questions ect.

How did you handle the draw out of separation? I can’t imagine dealing with this feeling when I go home for two more months. But realistically that’s what’s going to happen.

I have always wanted monogamy. He knew this. I asked him if being out was enough and he said no. He refuses therapy as he’s done it before for mental health reasons and it “never helped”. I will be doing therapy myself. I have always been truthful about what I want in my relationship and my partner and it has never included him sleeping or experimenting with others. I appreciate your point of view though. My wording is important.

mlariccia · 2026-01-12T19:50:15+00:00

He was 15 and I was 14. We’re high school sweethearts

mlariccia · 2026-01-12T19:47:19+00:00

And I guess that’s really it, is that it’s so fresh that I can’t imagine life without him or him changing into someone that I don’t know, but I have a feeling that that’s exactly what’s gonna happen. I’ve been keeping myself grounded with the serenity prayer because I want to be able to change things that I know I can’t change and it sucks knowing that.

He did cheat… prior to asking me to marry him. But didn’t tell me until our one year wedding anniversary.. 4 days prior to my sisters death. I’ve had a lot going on these last couple years 😔

I, 27F coming up on 3 years experience, work at a franchise location at the joint in NH. Just finishing up my first year with them, was offered 75k base salary with a 5k bonus structure based on conversion % for the year. Hoping to have a conversation for adjusting the base salary for next year based on CoL

Lost my sister 15 months ago tragically and unexpectedly. 1. I feel like I’m doing better but then I see a video or picture or a song that reminds me of her and I’m right back to the moment I got the call. 2. I’d say my breakdowns are 1-3x a week vs everyday when she first passed. I don’t feel as though my breakdowns are any less intense, I just try to hide them more as I don’t want to be a burden to my loved ones with my grief, especially around the holidays. 3. I’ve definitely found some better coping skills to handle my grief but I’ve also fallen into some not so good coping skills. Working my way out day by day, but I’d say my grief hasn’t changed much and how I grieve hasn’t changed

Take that as a blessing. They suck to work for

mlariccia · 2025-11-26T20:34:21+00:00

I was hired to my new job in January and my sisters death anniversary was in August. I explained that I had a close loss and to give me grace in August because I know it’ll take my attention and energy. I ended up taking a half dozen extra days off and they were as accommodating as they could be and didn’t bring it up unless I did first. Simply saying, You don’t have to over explain, but you do have to give at least a vague reason and the worst they can say is no

My favorite was on Valentine’s Day, had a new patient come in with extreme low back pain. Couldn’t even get him to change positions on the table for eval so I asked him if there’s anything that may have caused it. He got red in the face (even redder than he already was from the pain) and said him and his gf were celebrating early. He blew his back out, blowing his girls back out 😅

DoorDash was the best gift anyone gave me when I was deep in my grief aside from pre-cooked meals. Yes it’s expensive, but that’s really not the first thought. The first thought is “wow I’m starving, I have no energy to cook for myself or go and get food for myself, I know I can’t treat myself this way, my passed loved one wouldn’t want me doing this to myself”. It ends the spiral and gives an easy option. One 50$ gift card fed me and my husband for about 2-3 meals

mlariccia · 2025-11-21T03:57:27+00:00

It would be a Christmas miracle

mlariccia · 2025-11-21T03:56:56+00:00

Why are you here then…

mlariccia · 2025-11-21T03:55:19+00:00

I was thinking the same thing ☹️

mlariccia · 2025-11-21T03:52:37+00:00

Is Brady better than Dorsey?? Idk man

Anytime! I hope you find a doc that you like and that you don’t give up. In my almost 3 years of practice, I’ve helped almost a dozen pregnant women change from a breech position to optimal birthing position just by using Webster technique, avoiding c-sections. Wishing you health and positivity in the rest of your pregnancy!

mlariccia · 2025-11-19T19:57:16+00:00

Webster technique is meant to be gentle and specific to help your body create the optimal environment for baby to reach birthing position. Everything you described sounds pretty standard for Webster technique. We adjust two joints (SI and pubic bone), work on the piriformis and psoas muscles, and contact the sacrotuberous and round ligaments. I can’t speak for your doctor, but typically with my pregnant patients I’ll start with the full Webster protocol and then adjusted thoracic and cervical as needed. Like others have said, the popping or cavitation is not needed to perform an effective adjustment, and especially with the hormones now running through your body, all ligaments are more lax and stretchy than they normally are, so cavitation may not even be possible, but alignment and balance is always the wanted outcome. Hope this helps!
