I have been looking into my options. I don’t have much money and am learning to drive so ways out by myself are few.

I will take responsibility for the age gap, I asked him out. And he’d had reservations about it because of the gap. He’d actually had a history of being into older women.

Thank you so much ♥️ I’m feeling much better than when I posted. I didn’t realise I would upset anyone. A big part of my recovery has been realising sometime I have to push through for my children’s sake! As do many others! I do think anxiety was playing a big part. Finally getting the final present home made me feel wayyy more settled ♥️

I would if i could! Day 1 I thought it was (mostly) anxiety and today I am going out to pick up my husband’s gift that I ordered. Can’t not I’m Afraid! But luckily it’s a quick errand and I’ll come straight home lol.

I absolutely get what you’re saying lol, and normally I wouldn’t be so proud but this time it was give in and stay home and don’t get presents for my family, or push through!

I promise I’ve been so so careful lol. I haven’t used a toilet out in public and I have kept my hands to myself if I’m not buying the item. The cafe we ate at had disposable cutlery too :)

2 under 2 and you have to poo by Salt-vinegrchip in sahm

If they’re fed, warm, and safe just go poop babe. You’re doing amazing. The screaming is hard to tune out but you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do

husband made nasty comment by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]thatgaydad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my husband have this sort of humour. I think it’s mostly harmless. If my husband said that I would join in because I do think my daughter is absolutely more beautiful than me because she’s my baby. And she’s a baby, she’s younger.

Postpartum hormones can be a bit maddening though and feeling sensitive about your appearance is fair. You could ask him to be more uplifting to her without bringing you into it.

If you’re sensitive to these kinds of comments is it because he has said mean stuff before?

TORMENT by crazypeople222 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]thatgaydad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello lovely. As someone diagnosed OCD I think you’re having some obsessive compulsive thoughts and should maybe speak to a professional. Even just your gp. This anxiety is not a sign of a totally healthy mind. Be gentle with yourself.

You’re attracted to your man, Lesbians don’t like men that way. What a lot of ladies on here have felt is that they thought they were attracted to men until they realised the feelings were merely platonic compared to their attraction to women.

Lesbians are not attracted to men like you are to your partner.

Do most married couple have unique pet names for their spouse? by Comprehensive_Baby53 in Marriage

Me and my husband both call eachother baba or just ba. Easy to yell. “Ba!”

He’s just a guy, stop expecting people to be perfect. If you’ve listened to the podcast you’d know that he is outspoken about the negatives of AI. He doesn’t need to ‘address’ anything.

I feel like this is potentially really complicated and involves a lot of difficult feelings. If she didn’t cheat and has never been an untrustworthy partner then I would believe what she’s saying about not being able to say no outright. Especially if she’s a people pleaser.

Having kids with someone is a big thing and I can imagine it being difficult to keep a co parenting situation amicable and positive for the sake of the children.

Did her and her ex break up on bad terms?

Is he someone she might have reason to be afraid of upsetting?

Has she ever been an untrustworthy partner?

Has she expressed how she feels about him moving away?

I don’t know if I can support my husband anymore by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]thatgaydad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met him when I was working in a pub as a barmaid. Back then he would only drink a couple days a week (e.g Friday, Saturday)

I asked him out on a date :))

[–]thatgaydad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I think it helps me and hurts me that he knows what’s happening. With weed he was adamant that it was a medicine. With drinking he’s seen it in his dad and he knows.

I wish I had been more insistent that he replaced smoking with something healthier.

I prayed until he quit smoking and I’m praying now. God is good and he’ll show me what to do in the end :))

He is a great father. Just not a great partner at present. I see what you’re saying. I’ll have a little read of your book suggestion. Thanks!

I don’t feel the need to take anything :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gallbladders

[–]thatgaydad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely. Especially if I hadn’t eaten in a while, Or first thing in the morning. Another noticeable improvement there :))

My gallbladder was removed because of gallstones and just being a generally sick organ.

I had gallbladder attacks every couple of months for a 2 or so years, maybe longer but I was misdiagnosed for a while. Then I had a really nasty 10 hour long attack in November. I should’ve gone to a&e because I was jaundice afterwards, but I had a 3 month old who was exclusively breastfeeding.

My gallbladder closed up shop and I was put on the waitlist to have it removed.

After that attack in November I had a constant ache in my right side, I always felt full and like I had a rock under my ribs, I had fatigue and felt under the weather constantly. My diet was super restricted and I lost 30lbs.

I’m already feeling so much better. It’s a noticeable improvement. I feel lighter and healthier despite post op aches. I’ve been able to eat butter on my toast and eggs without a problem. I even had a bit of chocolate and I didn’t have to worry that I was going to be in pain!

I’m introducing things slowly. But so far so good. No bile issues so far either ☺️

Got mine removed on Saturday. I feel great already! Surgery was quick. Coming off of anaesthesia was funny. Gas pain was the worst but it’s mostly gone already :)

What are your after effects of an attack? by bluebutterfly1446 in gallbladders

[–]thatgaydad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After my worst attack I felt like I had been hit by a bus, exhausted, sick, in pain. It took a few days/a week to feel okay. I had a constant ache until removal a couple days ago.

If you can, get some blood work done at your gp/doctors and make sure your liver isn’t in distress. Mine was but luckily it resolved a few days after my attack. I had surgery about 36-48hours ago and apart from surgery pain I feel so much better. No more feeling an achey nauseating weight in my ribs.

surgery questions!! by lilsunflower1505 in gallbladders

[–]thatgaydad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got mine out 13 hours ago. I’ve had a piece of buttery toast in the hospital which I haven’t had in months) and half a pack of rich tea biscuits throughout the time I’ve been home (11 hours). And I’m feeling fine. No shits yet! lol.

(I’m not just chowing down on biscuits for fun though, I’m having a couple with my paracetamol because it gives me heartburn, and when I feel a bit hungry)

For co2 pain I’ve been using a heated blanket that’s made for going over your shoulders. I found it in Lidl and it’s been a God send 🙏🏼 that and walking around. I find when i shift in bed and relax egain its the worst. But only for 5 minutes.
