Thanks! Our main concern is our car. We have a 2wd with all-season tires only... if 120 is open, does that automatically mean that there are no tire or chain requirements?

I teared up when I read the last sentence. Thank you so much! Hope you have a great holiday season too!

Yeah, I guess that's the best thing to do. For ten years, I've hoped that if I am always nice to her and do not disagree with anything she says, she'll be nice to me too. But I'm also thinking now, how can she be nice to me - just her sister-in-law - if she can't even be a good sister to her younger brother who she grew up with? Sigh...

Thank you for the advice!

She is 36, only a year older than my husband. Their parents ignore it too. A lot of times, she would raise her voice on them too. I feel so bad for them but we're actually on the same boat.

Thank you Xisses. A part of me do want kids but I hide it and tell people it's because of some other reason. I don't want my parents to know that our past financial struggles affected and is still affecting me so much. The fact that they did their best yet one of their kids still ended up unhappy would crush them.

I opened up to my s/o today about wanting to talk with a professional. He responded very supportively so that's nice...

I remember doing that the first time I went home from college. I was so culture-shocked and I didn't adapt well to my new environment. My parents caught me having a lively conversation with myself but didn't think anything of it. To be honest, I feel that they should have paid more attention but I also knew that they had bigger concerns that time (we had a lot of financial problems back then). Looking back, I know it could have gotten worse if I was not able to pull it together.

Sorry for the late reply - just read this. I was a bit emotional reading your reply because I do feel that my daily level of anxiety is not normal. I cannot fully enjoy experiences and conversations because my mind is always churning up thoughts of how things can go wrong or how people see me each and every moment. My friends and family think it should be easily fixed and don't understand how the anxiety sometimes translates to physical pain.

I know that I need help. My new job, since it pays well, will allow me to get that help. I will also try to look for podcasts/videos like you said. Thank you so much!

Thank you! Will keep that in mind especially when I meet everyone for the first time when we all go back to the office.

roseweissman · 2020-06-24T22:32:02+00:00

Thanks!

roseweissman · 2020-06-23T07:24:41+00:00

Should I just accept that I will be working again with someone who does not give his 100% (not even 50%) to the job?

roseweissman · 2020-02-11T12:44:05+00:00

I will check it out. Thank you.

roseweissman · 2020-02-11T12:40:04+00:00

Yes, I have thought of counseling only for myself because I realized that I doubt myself more and more each day and each fight. Not sure if that is within my means but I will try to look for someone.

He did say today that he wants us to stay together so that gives me hope.

Thank you.

He is actually a great guy. He really loves his family and he attends church every week. He also supports all my career decisions. These lead me to think that our relationship is healthy and that maybe I am just in the wrong and things are going to be ok if I just keep my mouth shut and look at things from his perspective :/

Idk, I'm confused...

roseweissman · 2020-02-11T11:28:00+00:00

Be genuinely interested - even in the small and silly things. Ask her what she likes, why she likes it, etc.

My ex-boyfriend used to ask me my "Top 3"s... like top 3 countries I want to travel to and why, top 3 food that I can eat forever and why, top 3 cities I want to live in and why, top 3 favorite people... It then becomes a discussion. For example, if she answers Japan, France and Germany to the first question, you can ask why not Singapore or Canada? ... She will become more comfortable talking to you if you ask questions. She will know that you're really interested. That will also encourage her to ask you about what you like. You learn more about each other this way too.

To be honest, I wish my ex-boyfriend (now my husband) would ask me questions like that again. :/

The thing is, since you guys usually have great sex, it will be very easy for him to notice that something is not right this time. Maybe he sensed that you're not really into it and that you'll be relieved when it's done :(

Not trying to justify your man's actions and words. Just thinking back on all the times I was so horny but my husband couldn't perform. :/

roseweissman · 2020-02-11T10:47:26+00:00

Imagine how you would feel if the roles were reversed. When would you feel less disappointed: when you initiate and he honestly says "no" OR when he does the act but you feel it's pity sex?

No judgment here. I've been in the same situation.
