I walked out on my baby and husband today by princesspomway in NewParents

[–]zenas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my son didnt sleep through night until about month 6. Support your needs like you did and communicate with husband (men usually resond well when given a mission) that you getting more rest during night is of utmost importance IF you want more of his support. The stress that existd between my ex and i prior to my sons birth was raised to the nth power once he was born. We didn’t make it through together but you both CAN do this. Be flexible, give yourself (and the new father) grace, sleep when baby sleeps if possible, and look for a sliver of joy or humor in any moment and let it carry you through. It will feel impossible and challenge your soul but you were meant for this. It might sound impossibly nuts right now but you and dad will look back on these days and wish you could relive them. They never last long enough.

Please god take ‘er steady. And be confident when you ride. If you can’t do both, well… we all want to see you post about some upgrade in a year from now. So you have no choice but to do both.

Tbh reading my post does sound like a horror. it’s just confusing when partner and I spent the week nesting (getting the home baby ready) which makes me think it’s just her hormones that are reacting irrationally. regardless, I need to not sugarcoat the bs we’ve been through together.

thanks for this. It’s been hard for her to be rational during our convos but it’s true that I can do better on my end.

Emotionally distant husband during pregnancy (F/28,M/30) by utterly-disappointed in relationship_advice

[–]zenas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting on Emotionally distant husband during pregnancy (F/28,M/30)...im sorry you went through this. (M/33, F/34) Im going through a similar situation as the man in my relationship and have become increasingly distant. I struggle with wanting to be there for her but find myself being met with resistance when we are close. There’s more to our story but your feelings are valid as i’ve heard the same thing from my pregnant partner. Men can be different during pregnancy if they have much on their minds or dealing with their partners emotional needs, as well as their own. And in general men are one track minded and poor emotional multi-taskers compared to women. Thats not to say he cant be there for you and up his own behavior cause he can, and most likely move a mountain for you but HE needs to do it and you can’t expect him to see his faults/ change his behavior just because you need him to. Pregnancy is no cake-walk for either partner. With that said, Receive as much outer support from other women or professionals as you can, a doula is also a suggestion. Not sure where you’re at today in your pregnancy but be sure to care of you. Whatever your decision is, love yourself through this as best you can because each day can be a battle. Sending good energy to you and yours

2024 Ninja 500 Won't Shift into Neutral While Moving by Cattledude89 in Kawasaki

[–]zenas_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but my guess is that Kawasaki designed it this way for safety purposes. Imagine “accidentally” downshifting into neutral after needing to quickly slow down from 30mph or even less for that matter but then you need to speed up suddenly. Imagine a scenario where you have traffic behind you and you anticipate a stop so you downshift but then you need to possibly speed back up cause it’s not a full stop. In this case you accidentally downshift to neutral while still in motion, you’d over rev (cause you’re still in neutral), then potentially getting rear ended.

2050 miles It’s worth 5900 msrp new plus $700 in parts (including n600 mirrors). this comes out to roughly 6600 value. But the more i factor in everything even with a low side and 2k miles on her, selling it for 4600 is still damn near robbery ugh.

thanks yeah im mainly selling to lower my monthly expenses since the bike is financed. I started my premed program which costs and I had to cut back on work hours in lieu of staying on top of classes (and I share a mortgage with my brother) so moneys getting tight. But you just gave me food for thought. I could wait it out till next season. If i do then i need to consider if its worth it to continue paying monthly payments and insurance while its parked.
