Yeah, I don’t eat much during the day and have more at night. I know that’s not the best advice for weight loss, but that is what I do.
Just drink water and order a small plate….right? I mean, you have to eat.
I’ve been upfront about it in the past and I don’t think someone would think it’s weird or strange to mention that.
My goodness. Your family is very interesting. Why is your wife going to your mother for advice, while she clearly can’t keep anything to herself? Your parents treat you all like children.
OMG. I’m really excited for you.
Wow, that article was really great.
Not that anyone asked, but one of the things that I think really helped me and my husband forge a great relationship was that by the time we started our casual FWB relationship, I had kind of given up. By that I mean, I had already stopped the future planning with a relationship in mind like this article describes. I had gotten to the point where I’d been single and not looking for so long, that I’d gotten used to being alone a bit. I was just me, with maybe slightly better hair and way less man-related anxiety. He had been very clear he didn’t want anything serious, but enjoyed sex and spending time with me and I was cool with that for a year or so.
When I wanted more, I told him, and I was ready to walk away. To my surprise he took me up on my offer.
My advice…just take it day by day and really try not to overanalyze or stress about his response time, etc. You have a trip planned, and that will be better to test the relationship temperature.
I think all of your updates sound very positive and you should really try not to worry. I know it’s so much easier said than done. When I’m worried, I just keep myself very busy so I don’t have much time to think about it.
Don’t sweat it. Try not to over analyze your texts and the words you chose.
Remember, even if the rejection stung, it’s one path you weren’t meant to go down and now you are free for a better one.
I like these updates, I’m feeling excited for you all.
I just wanted to add that, I think I would have been happy without mine. I sometimes think of the other life I would have had, and I sometimes I think about what it would be like if I was still single, or childless. I know I’d be happy without them. It would just be a different happy.
Eh, the world has always been very shitty, and it’s not getting worse, it’s just getting pushed to the forefront. I actually think DT might be making American great again, because he’s woken us all the fuck up and now civic engagement is higher than it’s been in decades. I truly think this will be the end of the GOP. They’ve lost all credibility and any shred of integrity they ever had.
I feel good about bringing my kids into this shitty world, because I’m making good children. I’m teaching them to be kind, compassionate and empathetic. Maybe one day, they’ll make a difference. Maybe they won’t.Anyways, freckles…maybe mentoring and helping or even fostering older kids/teens is a way that you can feel better about “isn’t there anymore?” while making a difference.
I still have my friends without kids, and we still hang out! I even have a friend who despises kids, but I haven’t let that come between us.
I’m sorry about your struggles, freckles. What made you want to try, before these issues came up?
I think it’s so hard to know before you have them. Try to spend more time with the babies you know. That won’t give you a good idea of exactly what it’s like, but if you ask your friends or loved ones to really tell you, they hopefully will.
I didn’t ever think I’d have kids. I had resigned to not think about it, because I wouldn’t. But then I met my husband, and suddenly being a parent with a great partner was possible. I’ve always loved kids, and as hard as infanthood and toddlerhood are, it was worth it to me. I do regret not traveling more, or enjoying ourselves more, but we make those things happen even with kids. You can have a full life with or without kids. You can adopt later in in life, if you regret not having them. It’s not an all or nothing thing.I once had a boss who bragged about making everyone cry. I can’t comprehend being proud of that.
You shouldn’t pretend not to have emotions. You also shouldn’t pretend that you don’t want much, when you do…no one is a mind reader.
