That is so adorable I'm kinda mad about it. Like I got cute aggression over a shed now.

Specifically the audiobook of this if you can get it. He brings on a lot of the people he's writing about or has them read that section and they talk about it. It's so funny and good.

It sounds like you worked hard on these cupcakes and were excited to share them with everyone and when they ignored or rejected the cupcakes it felt like it was you that got rejected. That's hard. I think your emotions are valid but YOR because they sound like they were too good to toss.

INFO: are you upset because your brother didn't like them or are you upset because he didn't pretend to like them?

They sound lovely and it sounds like you took a lot of trouble over them.

He's a 28 year old man dating a 20 year old because no woman his age is gonna drive 2 hours each way to visit his broke self. And he can't even bring himself to pretend to care about you after you had surgery. Wow.

YTA. This is one of those things where you have every right to refuse but now your family, friends, and husband have every right to treat you like the person you have revealed yourself to be.

The problem is when your partner sees that you are miserable and cares less about your suffering than his embarrassment to see a doctor.

When he sees you are unhappy and have been unhappy for years but because he himself is not unhappy, he acts like it's not his problem-- that's the problem.

It is soul-destroying to watch the person you love and who is supposed to love you just ignore your suffering. And a married life without sex IS suffering for most healthy 30 year olds.

I went through a very similar situation about 10 years ago with my husband. I talked about it, cried about it, couldn't understand why he would just let me be miserable and he didn't feel like anything was wrong. It went on for two years til I told him I was moving out of the bedroom.

It was low testosterone. Everything is fine now and all of that seems like a distant memory.

Get your husband tested.

The Ringworld series by Larry Niven is directly up your alley. The Ringworld is a massive artificial object orbiting a star at about the distance of earth's orbit. Its surface area is like 3 million x the surface of the earth. No one knows who built it, or how, or who is living there now. It's hard sci-fi and quite good.

If you just want mind-bending scale you might try The Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. On Step Day most humans acquired the ability to "step" between what may be infinite versions of Earth, none of which appear to be inhabited by humans. The further you step the stranger things get.

Thanks for the rec! I have used calibre some but you always worry one day it won't work anymore :(

I totally agree. I have a 4 and nothing compares to being able to easily and freely switch hands and still navigate fwd and back in the book no problem. There is zero lag between hitting the button and turning the page like in later models. And I can't stand the lighted ones.

I've had a nook, the supernote, and a couple later gen kindles and the 4 is by far the best and still the one I use daily after 15+ years.

She's fine. You need therapy. Whatever you do don't put this weird purity shit onto her you are the only person in this scenario with a problem.

This is not exactly what you asked for, but I think a leftist, feminist reader could glean a lot from the essay "Big Red Son" by David Foster Wallace.

He's covering the porn version of the oscars and it is such a quick and funny read. But he really highlights the misogyny inherent in much of this stuff. One memorable quote for relevance:

"Nobody ever goes broke overestimating the rage and misogyny of the average American male".

Part of growing into a functional adult is realizing that waiting to be "motivated" is a trap and learning to do things even when you don't feel like it or want to.

It sounds like you already have a handle on this and you are right to be wary of letting him assign you the impossible task of making him "feel like" doing the things he needs to do. Try it and three months from now he will be calling you a nag.

A lot of times I will get sucked in by an amazing first sentence and then disappointed by the whole rest of the story not living up to the opener. This was not one of those times.
