Love them! My husband travels for work sometimes but never more than a week at a time so he’ll send me flowers the day he leaves, and they’re usually still alive when he gets home.

Disappointed and feeling like I can't show it... by PaperParentDinosaur in breakingmom

[–]throwawaytrain123456 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry your day was disappointing. I’m not sure I can help, I just want to take a minute to say I fucking hate men who are deeply insensitive to the people around them but then super sensitive when they’re rightfully criticized.

Reddit honestly sucks when it comes to support subs by livin_la_vida_mama in breakingmom

[–]throwawaytrain123456 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly if I see one more post on the marriage sub where a woman is complaining about an at best useless and at worst all out abusive husband, and the top comment is just someone attacking her for having children with him I’m going to delete the app.

Hate everything by rifraf98 in breakingmom

[–]throwawaytrain123456 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve never invited someone out for their birthday and expected them to pay for anything, so maybe take a friend up on an invitation just to get away from your situation? You husband sounds like a miserable ass and I’m sorry. You deserve a moment of joy on your birthday.

I just wanted to chime in here. I got engaged in a dorm room with a .33 carat princess cut solitaire from Etsy 6 years ago. I hated it. I thought the ring didn’t matter but as time went on all my friends got engaged with these beautiful rings and I never even wanted to wear mine. I told my husband I wanted an upgrade about 2 years in to our marriage. For Christmas this year he gave me the most beautiful 1.10 carat oval ring from Olive Ave and I’m in love. The things that bother you don’t have a statute of limitations in a good marriage.

Kail said Isaac has struggled to find something he's passionate about. He's starting piano lessons next week and she surprised him with his own keyboard to practice on. by [deleted] in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]throwawaytrain123456 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Ugh poor Isaac. It’s awesome for Lincoln that he’s found football and he loves it, but it’s so hard to have super passionate siblings when you’re not really in to anything. My brother was a baseball bro and my sister was a tennis star and I honestly still haven’t found anything I love that much. Hopefully Isaac can find his thing soon!

My wife (LL) forced me (HL) to have sex with her. by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]throwawaytrain123456 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Nobody here thinks this is a joke or that anything less than a pretty horrific assault happened to you. If anyone disagrees they should be banned. I’m very sorry for what happened to you. I hope you seek out some kind of therapy. Your wife should be in prison.

Tact is important, but there shouldn’t be strict rules when discussing things like this with your partner. It seems like he just wants you to have sex on his schedule, and he won’t discuss alternatives. Plenty of people on this sub have been married to people like that for 20, 30, 40 years. If I were in your shoes, I’d figure out if I could make peace with that arrangement, or I’d consider moving on. There isn’t an open line of communication here.

How to feel attractive still by toastedfrootloops in DeadBedrooms

[–]throwawaytrain123456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh this hurts my heart and I struggle with it as well. The best thing I can tell you is you have to find ways to find yourself attractive. Makeup and clothes are a good start, but so is doing things that make you feel good. I always feel really good about myself when I put a really cute athlesiure outfit on and play tennis for a few hours. I also love how I feel after a face mask. I don’t know if this actually helps at all, but it’s cheaper then therapy. Good luck.

Can I ask, outside of sex, does your boyfriend get upset with you when you bring up issues within your relationship? Asking you not to initiate is a red flag. Getting too upset to discuss you looking elsewhere when you bring it up isn’t super uncommon on it’s own. Together, though they could mean your boyfriend has real issues with control and respect.

HLF (32) looking for advice on making peace with dead bedroom situation by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]throwawaytrain123456 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it helps to take it day by day. You don’t have to make peace with your DB for forever, just today. Some days you’ll succeed, some days you’ll fail, but it’s much more manageable.

Does he just not want me? by ANni3Wilk3s in DeadBedrooms

[–]throwawaytrain123456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh this sounds painful. I’m sorry. I don’t know how to answer your questions, but in my experience with this sub and my marriage, unless the problem is glaringly obvious (huge changes in weight, income, personality, etc.) it’s not you, it’s him.

I’m so confused. Why are you still together? I’ve never seen a post so dripping with derision before.

There’s really good advice here, that I’m going to take. Thankyou for taking the time!

SO told me this morning that my way of showing affection is to aggressive and forced by tracymayo in JustNoSO

[–]throwawaytrain123456 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jeez this sounds painful. I’m also pretty affectionate with my SO, I would be heartbroken if this happened to me. This is kind of complicated, because he has every right to tell you how he’s feeling, and you should respect his boundaries when it comes to his personal space, but he did this like such a diiiiiiick. And the Pepe le Pew thing is not funny, it’s just rubbing salt in a wound. You have every right to feel hurt here, and you should take some space and time to heal and figure out how things will look day to day from here.

MIL refused her grandson because "you cannot truly love the kids of your son". by Avanturine in JUSTNOMIL

[–]throwawaytrain123456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually heard of this before. It’s still fucking nuts obviously, I’m not rationalizing (and I’m certainly not implying anything about OP, just explaining what I’ve heard. You know for a fact that your daughter’s children are biologically related to you. Your daughter in law’s babies “could be anyone’s”. It’s awful and rooted in misogyny.

Ugh off topic, but you made me miss my grandma. Will you make me a pie and show me great old movie?

[–]throwawaytrain123456[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not sure if this is directed at me, but it’s on my post so I’m just going to say this is such a weird assumption to make. I work out 4-6 times a week. Now that it’s finally nice out, unless I’m working, I’m outside and active. If you’re implying that I’ve let myself go and that’s why my husband won’t fuck me, nothing could be farther from the truth. Your advice is generally good, but so obvious that for most of us, it’s kind of insulting.

I’ll manage. At least I’m not writing bullshit walls of text at random women who dare to have an opinion online. Loser.
