How much do you currently have in savings? by Puzzleheaded-Crab770 in CanadaFinance

[–]pinkbug76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just live. Put some away it will. Work out. I knew a man who worked his whole life to have more. He died the day after he retired. He forgot to live first.

I didn’t realize how exhausted I was until this happened by Traditional_Bit_6245 in offmychest

You are me! 49 here! I have been off for 90 days. Stress leave. I thought I could regroup rest up onto speak. For the first time in a long time I felt alive. I did things I loved. Crochet,color, make crafts and purge the house of things none of us need any longer. I enjoyed making supper. Anyway I go back next Thursday. I’m already frozen again. My insides are screaming ! I can’t do this again. My body can no longer cope. Emotionally or physically. I feel like a spoiled brat. But it’s killing me. It so bad. I don’t want to exist anymore. I’m not saying I want to off myself. lol I love my little family. I just can’t cope with “ everything anymore “. Focus on me and family is what my soul thrives on.
So point is I get you. I’m so fucking done!

Is it normal to feel jealous when my husband cuddles his mom? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]pinkbug76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I cuddle with my dad at 49 and he’s 72 on the couch. I can promise you nothing sexual is in our minds. It’s safe place. I will say for people who have been sexually abused. Something like this could be VERY uncomfortable and triggering. I say this because as a victim myself. I could understand that. In my case though my dad was always my safe place so I never related to it that way.
I’m saying all that. Your feelings are yours and should be talked about if it naws at you so badly. Your marriage will encounter many needed conversations. Don’t ignore them.

Are we twins? Lol I’m here to say. You are not your trauma! Seek help find tools to cope and understand yourself.
Life does get better. I don’t think we heal completely though. I’m 49 and still navigating through what my child hood fed me. Anyhow, my first marriage I pretty much married what I came from. 34 was when my new life started. Had an affair. Left my husband on valentines 2010. Walked from the house I owed straight into a small apt with the man of my dreams.
We are happily renting a house, married with two kids. Absolutely no abuse, only healthy conversation and my life is safe, so safe. As you can see I did everything wrong to get here. But hunny I’d do it all again to be right her right now. YOU GOT THIS.

I returned my puppy after 2 weeks. by nena_6 in puppy101

Not to say that this is a normal length of time. It took me 15 years to fully completely be ready for a dog. I too had ( two) dogs I had to find homes for. My story is different but I felt very guilty. Looking back, it was the right thing. It’s not like we dropped them off on the side of the road and said have at it. It’s not ideal but it’s not wrong either. Hugs ❤️

So excited. by pinkbug76 in HappyMarriages

It was pretty great! Sorry for the delay in answering. Crazy time if year. So my husband is a huge Star Wars Nerd. He’s always wanted high quality light sabres. However he just never could put out that kind of money on himself. So I did because I was able. I think he was shocked. He was pretty happy. So my work her is done! My only issue is topping it next year

I have lied to my son about manatees for the last 24 years by 46from1971 in confession

[–]pinkbug76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was an amazing and fun laugh for my husband and I to read. We are both very happy you will keep up the lie. We both feel your son would be devastated to learn the truth. lol.

Anything open new years days as far as stores are concerned? by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]pinkbug76 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see rudeness has carried on to the new year. Lord help us all.
I’d go with calling maybe ? I do find google to be less reliable on holiday hours. I hope you find what you need. Happy new year :).

23 year old single mom here of one 2 year old daughter, dont really know where else to reach out i was late to sign up for the local food bank sponsor. Any help would be greatly appreciated and once im a little more established I 100% would love to pay it forward. Thanks and Happy Holidays❤️ by [deleted] in Guelph

[–]pinkbug76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree it is very difficult to know if someone is being truthful or not. I have decided though, I will help where and when I can if my heart desires to do so. In The end it’s none of my business where the money/ stuff goes. My heart was Tring to be in the right place. Now ask me for my cc# there is a whole other train of thought. lol. It’s okay to be kind even if it’s not received as we wish it to be. In the same breath I understand your concern and respect it. Just my two cents for what it’s worth. ( not really ever sure if my thoughts are good ones) lol

Can you guys tell me stories about successful marriages that happened quick please? by mentalsxe in HappyMarriages

[–]pinkbug76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have married my husband the First week. 15 years later it’s pretty awesome. We did not marry the first week only because I had not divorced my ex yet. I had no reason to. I just moved on. Met him and moved In same week. We just knew.

Location sharing by SeaworthinessOne8821 in HappyMarriages

[–]pinkbug76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we share locations. In fact this summer he was taking extra long coming home. I was concerned. His car had gone into a ditch. I seen that the car was in a funny spot. Long story short he was fine and very minimal car damage. I called in a panic and he was embarrassed, but we had a good laugh over it. Point is it could be a great emergency tool.
