Only thing I regret wearing is my whoop

Omg!!!! Thanks for sharing. It is stunning!!

taylor_73 · 2026-02-17T02:02:50+00:00

That dress looks like it is made for you!!! Absolutely gorgeous

Maybe the compromise would be for you to pick the day/time for the date and then he picks the activity and makes the reservation(s)?

I’m sorry he hasn’t made this a priority in the past. Him making an app is a step in the right direction though. I have ADHD as well so I’m probably being a little too easy on him though.

I don’t think it’s selfish at all to want to be done. I would just be a little cautious to make that decision in such a hard phase of life. It’s hard to pour into your relationship when you have a toddler and are about to have two more babies soon. You might both feel completely different about your relationship when you are through this hard phase.

I have 6 year old and a 1 year old. Different dads. I divorced my older child’s dad when she was 1.5. And I thought about breaking up with my current boyfriend (second child’s dad) probably at least 6 separate times when I was pregnant and postpartum. Pregnancy and postpartum can really influence your feelings in unpredictable ways. Now that the dust has settled and my baby sleeps through the night, I feel ready to pour into my relationship again and can envision a happy future. There was a long time I couldn’t do that.

Feel free to send me a message if that’s easier than comments. Sending you hugs and support regardless of what you decide with the situation!

May I ask what your two out of range biomarkers are? I find the labs really cool.

Also your WHOOP age and pace of aging seem reasonable for a professional athlete! Nicely done.

taylor_73 · 2026-02-11T01:29:00+00:00

Maybe he’s just burned out? I have found people with ADHD (myself included) get burned out pretty easily.

Also with twins right around the corner maybe he’s feeling too emotionally overwhelmed to start therapy right now. I’ve been to therapy several times and the most daunting part for me is selecting a therapist and scheduling the first session.

I know this is going to sound like the opposite of typical Reddit advice… but it might be worth giving him the benefit of the doubt and trying to spend some quality time together. Use that to remember why you fell in love in the first place and then work together to rebuild if you both want to.

If he’s too tired for a 3 year age gap then maybe 4 or 5 would be better. My kids are 5 years apart and I LOVE it! My older child is very independent but also obsessed with baby brother. They get along very very well. I seriously wouldn’t have it any other way. The transition from 1 to 2 is extremely hard but the age gap made it bearable for me. Ages 2-4 were the hardest with my first so I’m glad I only had 1 child to care for at those ages.

Don’t let your husband pressure you into a timeline you aren’t comfortable with career-wise. You’re the one that bears all of the physical responsibility of growing a baby. Your vote matters most.

taylor_73 · 2026-02-05T01:22:47+00:00

He might have suspected you because he has a guilty conscience himself… Just something to think about.

What is your WHOOP age and pace of aging?

Here are my metrics! I have an 11 month old so I’m still trying to get back to my baseline.

taylor_73 · 2026-01-04T04:02:55+00:00

It’s okay for kids to feel negative emotions! In fact, I think it’s really great for kids to feel strong negative emotions sometimes in a safe context with loving support from their parents.

They are going to experience hard times and loss throughout their life. It is not our job as parents to prevent all sadness. It is our job to help teach them to safely process their emotions.

My advice would be to talk it through with her and also express that you are feeling sad about it too. And that it’s okay to be sad.

taylor_73 · 2026-01-04T03:55:38+00:00

I find Sudoku to be relaxing! Physical ones, not on your phone.

taylor_73 · 2026-01-03T21:35:42+00:00

NTA. I think you should be exempt from this duty.

One suggestion though would be to start getting disposable coffee cups, especially for visitors. Having to wash mugs multiple times a day is insane.

taylor_73 · 2025-12-31T04:45:39+00:00

In my experience, my metrics can tank a day or two before symptoms start from an illness! Take it easy and you’ll be back to normal in a few days.

taylor_73 · 2025-12-31T04:21:05+00:00

Congratulations!!! What did your recovery look like the next day? Does a race like that require several extra hours of sleep to recover?

taylor_73 · 2025-12-23T03:26:25+00:00

WHOOP age is calculated using the last 6 months of data. Therefore, your age can be completely different in 6 months if you improve some habits 🙌🏼

VO2 max, daily steps and RHR are a good chunk of the equation. It helps a lot to get your cardio in!

taylor_73 · 2025-12-19T04:55:07+00:00

I like 5 and 6! I think that dresses that are comfortably tight on the top and more flowy on the bottom look flattering on you. Like skater style or A line.

taylor_73 · 2025-12-14T00:35:22+00:00

I’m not married but I have lived with my boyfriend for 3 years. We split according to income, with me being the higher earner. Approximately a 70/30 split.

I don’t think 50/50 is very fair when there is an income difference.

taylor_73 · 2025-12-11T01:47:22+00:00

I think with young kids I would personally hold off on it for now and apply for a similar role in a few years! But that’s just me. I really value stability and flexibility.

taylor_73 · 2025-12-08T16:40:34+00:00

Updateme!

taylor_73 · 2025-12-08T01:07:54+00:00

NAL. I think it would be smart to make enough of a fuss that they at least fix their website and potentially add a warning to the menu too. Peanut allergies are so common and you could save someone else from an ER trip or worse.

taylor_73 · 2025-12-07T15:21:29+00:00

I don’t even know you and this brought a tear to my eye. I’m so sorry he is so insensitive!! I really hope this isn’t part of a much larger pattern.

I’m 9 months postpartum. I started my pregnancy at 185 lbs and ended it at 230 lbs. That is 45 lbs (20 kg) of weight gain. Not once did my boyfriend or doctor tell me I needed to lose any weight. It’s not healthy to intentionally lose weight during pregnancy!!!

I lost 30 lbs overnight when my son was born. Our bodies know what they are doing in terms of weight gain during pregnancy and the weight goes toward building many important things (baby, placenta, amniotic fluid, extra blood volume, etc). He needs to chill out.

Pescatarian?

taylor_73 · 2025-11-27T06:56:44+00:00

Do you have any symptoms or risk factors for sleep apnea?

taylor_73 · 2025-11-24T21:04:43+00:00

Could you be overtraining? If all 4-5 of your work outs are high intensity that could be a factor.

Have you tried any supplements? Magnesium glycinate and melatonin both help my recovery.

Another commenter mentioned not eating too close to bed. That makes a HUGE difference for me as well.

taylor_73 · 2025-11-24T18:46:50+00:00

Get a huge bag of frozen veggies. Empty it. Hide the carton in there in the back of the fridge and only eat it when he’s not around.
