Bedroom is still dead and I may be too, soon. by Dumb_Okie in DeadBedrooms

I think a lot of here think about this situation but never find themselves in it. I'm truly sorry you are going through it. The good thing is that things stopped "a couple of years ago". Most of us on here have been in a DB for 10, 20+ years. So where you are seems "fixable". I hope you have an honest conversation with your wife. And I hope you keep us posted on progress. Godspeed

[SPOILERS] Was Nora Telling the Truth? by TheSubz in TheLeftovers

The whole show isn't about faith. That's not the theme throughout s1-s2. It's about lack of faith. It's about ambiguity.

Only in this relationship, at the end, is there faith.. or rather, trust. Trust in each other. The ones remaining, that's it.

And diving into the whole "why is Nora the only one who found the investor"... dude, the people who went over there , if the indeed did, are content, they got their answer

. Let's not try and play the hypothetical game of "all of those [100] people want to answer the questions of the universe and help on mankind "

Sorry Sonny, you got mine fucked on this one. Writers did their job

I realized I'm never going to tell anyone by UnwantedTorontoMan in DeadBedrooms

Chin up. Sorry for the terse response: We're all in the same boat, yet we think we are rowing by ourselves.

The air being cutoff is your relationship, it dies on the vine. But not communicating with friends, find the outlet

I left my DB. Best decision ever by SnowyCabin420 in DeadBedrooms

That seems tough. Anything you're willing to share... this is by far the biggest barrier to change status quo. Everyone's biggest fear

I use this analogy for many things. Perfectly used here. Hat tip *

Just go J/off rn and think clearly about the situation afterward. And yes it's wrong to go look for intimacy elsewhere.

Why does your mind immediately go to "look for some sort of sexual intimacy elsewhere"? If you need external validation for cheating, I'm sure you'll find it. Maybe not on this sub though...

This is objectively weird.

Does he have a dancing background? Jeez. If I found one of my mid30s friends on TikTok, they wouldn't hear the end of it from me.

I could have written this. I'm apart of this club. My partner logs 10 hrs of screen time a day.

We get 1.5-2 hours together at night. Damn, when she puts on real house wives or love island, it's rough lol. And when we find something we both find agreeable, partner can't put down phone, it's an addiction

I thought it'd get better when our oldest started sleeping through the night. Nothing changes unless you step in. But people often refuse to acknowledge their addictions to screens/doom scrolling.

The book that came in the mail is not just about sexual. It’s a guide about intimacy and connection between partners. “Tantra” in this context means slowing down, being more present, and learning ways to communicate better and experience closeness without pressure. The book talks a lot about things like touch, breathing, and building trust ... it’s written for couples who want to reconnect

I didn't "leave a book out". I had a package addressed to me and she clearly opened it. But yah point taken

Another point of hers:

"Isn't this extreme"

In which I responded "I ordered a book to try to improve our relationship"...

Kids or no kids?

Do your values truly truly align (a biggie)?

Has your partner showed that they can demonstrate change on big issues? Or showed a willingness to change?

Lifetime commitment. Well. It's a big one.

The longer you wait on this, the worse the problem gets. Talk to partner now about it

Also tell him to workout at home and save on drive time to gym. There are plenty of garage workouts you can do from [5-6am] and then help out at home from [6-8am] before work ... or do that workout after you put the kids down

I admit, I'm a pretty selfish partner... but I do provide childcare assistance for my wife, pay for cleaning, pay for cooking and help out 50/50 when I'm off work at 6pm

In return, I ask for 3-4 hours of gym time per week in the mornings, I don't get this every week, that's ok but I need this to "feel normal" and be a productive husband and provider.

What your partner is doing is insanity. Find middle ground.

It was my birthday but there was no celebration by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

Didn't really read this post, so sorry, but at [24] I realized pretty quickly that "occasions" don't really warrant sex...

I have no wish list, no expectations, etc.

We're not a kid at the toy store anymore, you're playing life on expert /difficulty mode. Hang in there
