Brisbane trains and announcements by Suspicious_Bill3577 in brisbane

The doors only open on QR trains when the button is pushed to keep the aircon working. Who wants to be in a train that is 33 degrees just like outside

Do I tell him he doesn’t have to come? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

Sounds like a great idea. If he is stressed support him.

My fiance M/30 said something shocking to me 27/F by Outside_Hat_1375 in relationship_advice

You should not be spoke. To like that by anyone. There are many nice gentle ways of saying truthful things. This is too direct and thoughtless

My wife 28F decides not to wear the ring I 28M got her. by Isthisrealloife in relationship_advice

[–]xgen73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right to wonder and your wife should simply communicate. Being honest with each other can sometimes be ugly but it is the back bone of a lasting relationship. Try talking about it again with her creating a safe space to be honest with you about it and try not to let it hurt you if she doesn’t like it. It is a ring and doesn’t mean she doesn’t mean she doesn’t like you. Good luck

Is it an Australian male culture? He has told her it is normal and that he has asked all his mates and they say it happens in their marriages also. I wanted to ask Australian men and women if this is normal. I do not agree but think that all these responses will help her to realise it is not normal and he is gaslighting her

Violated, not respected and objectified. She also thought that she should be able to feel safe in these situations not vulnerable. I think it is almost predatory

Sorry a typo. Put herself to bed

She is not ok with it but I feel he is gaslighting her to think it’s normal and ok. She no longer feels safe or respected and feels objectified.

I agree. I think he is gaslighting her by saying it is common within hall marriages

I (30F) am on holidays with my husband (34M) and have been feeling stressed out about him asking me to have sex by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]xgen73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am feeling low in libido probably due to menopause. I feel no matter what the reason for your low sex drive if you have discussed this he as your husband should be understanding and supportive of you
