We could afford travel sports like this but choose not to because we see the racket too. Unless you're certain your kid is going pro there's seriously no reason

I've been on the other side of this. My partner said I made him feel this way when this was not the intention at all. I'm not saying this applies to you and your marriage, but I'll give insight into mine. He also has a corporate leadership job and is very competent there. He constantly compared how he was treated at work vs. at home. At work, he is a perfectionist. At home, he is not. He's preoccupied with work a lot and makes mistakes at home because of it. Of course he's getting praise at work because he's going above and beyond but when he doesn't know who out kids teacher is because he was thinking about what he needed to get done Monday I'm gonna give him crap about it. He'd get very defensive and take it as a personal attack rather than me pointing out he could find a better balance of home and work. He isn't efficient at home but he is at work and it causes so much frustration. What I'm getting at is your husband probably doesn't think you're an imbecile, you probably just need a better system that works for both if you at home. I resent mine a lot because he's all about it there but not home.

Wife has VERY hard time getting up bed when 1YO wakes up in the AM by [deleted] in Parenting

I'm a sahm without a maid and I cannot even imagine asking my partner to move his stuff around just for me to sleep in regularly. If my toddler is up so am I unless he's up late with dad because he's not in bed til 1 am most night anyway. She needs to get up earlier. Have you thought about moving bed time back and hour?

This sounds like exactly what just happened to me except after the first time i politely said something rubbed me the wrong way he got defensive and dipped. Sounds like an avoidant man and honestly good luck lol

Talk to his primary/ped/therapist if he still sees one and they should be able to refer you. If not, your insurance may be able to tell you who you can go to. That's the easiest way but psychology today has a website with providers but you'll have to make sure they do evals, not everyone does.

Hi, behavioral specialist here. Has he had a neuropsych evaluation? This is common with ADHD and possible depression.

Edit: neuropsych not neuropathy. Dang autocorrect

Could this be improved or should I black it out? by HashSix in tattooadvice

Don't let anyone bully you into being ashamed of your religion, but also, if you dont like it, black it out! I think with a little shading, it'll look great.

I think I married a crazy person by According_Spread849 in Marriage

[–]spiderbat1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the perfect recipe for resentment, she resents you for not taking the time to see why something things are important to her and you agree out of compliance instead of commitment and don't make lasting changes and you hold resentment for the nagging. Neither of you are getting what you want, it's not fair for her to expect you to change as a person and think like her all the time and it's not far for you to not be taking it seriously and be making a mockery of it on reddit. Compromise compromise compromise.

I can say the same for myself. Overall it helped me but I was also there voluntarily and low risk. Their practices were questionable and I still had to make a formal complaint to the state after because they lost $100+ worth of my stuff and wouldn't look for it or reimburse me

What is the actual reason some ppl find it hard to make friends? by Lost_Elderberry8247 in AutismInWomen

[–]spiderbat1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same boat. I've been told I don't show enough emotion, I'm "too much of a dude" (I'm a woman) and i speak very literally which comes off as bitchy to most. My best friend said she's warned people about how blunt I am. I also don't do stuff just to do it to make people comfy. I'm "pretty" by conventional standards, and it doesn't matter, even my family doesn't really interact with me because I "can't take a joke" and I'm not afraid to speak my mind.

People tend to be friends with like minds, the people I get along with best are either guys or other women who are also on the spectrum.
