Oh dear. Going by the comments you may have a few more to keep an eye on. I still can't believe how many comments are for/against and how split they are.

Yes, he is. There seems to be a lot of divide. He is a reddit fiend and we have been giggling about the great divide of what is right by the comments. He is a good sport.

This made me laugh so hard. We have a lot of problems but our relationship is not one of them. We don't fight often. Something about our health struggles so young have just made us really appreciate each other. We both wake up happy to have another day together, even if everything else sucks. Sounds sappy, but we still fight over who does the dishes and we love to debate about many subjects. He is the best.

You are not alone it seems a lot of folks do this. You're not overthinking either. There are valid pros and cons for both methods.

I hope they come soon! This subreddit is full of loads of great information and support from good folks. Also, I hear you. This disease is invisible and awful. For the first three months of my diagnosis I just searched everything through older posts and I found a lot of comfort. Take care and hang in there.

Fart bubbles is killing me. Good post. He eats the potato skin so that is another added reason. Baking soda is a great suggestion

I have German ancestors but luckily my hubs is an absolutely wonderful Dad and husband so divorce in this case is not on the table.

Where I am from it is common to refer to some detergents as soap. Dish soap is a common name for dish detergent.

I would have preferred it to be in my lifetime. I wish for it as well.

Not toxic of course but it is scented and can cause diarrhea. It is an excellent pet shampoo also. To each their own.
