or go for someone older than you Careful with this. Age does not indicate maturity and there are often reasons why they're single past a certain point. I look at it kind of like gaps on a resume. Are they uninvolved because of character traits the others were unwilling to put up with (they may be able to mask these initially), or did they have something major but acceptable going on (grad school for example)?

Of being vulnerable about it or about telling him you went through his texts with his friend? You don't like how he's talking and checking up on him like this much makes it clear you don't entirely trust him so maybe just move on. Even if you were to talk to him about it, it's not uncommon for the other person in these scenarios to just hide the behavior their partner doesn't like rather than change something they aren't willing or ready to. International relationships are enough work without ex…

Basically breastfeeding hormones can involve lower estrogen and dryness just like the menopause levels (consider that many don't get their cycles while breastfeeding - doesn't necessarily mean no ovulation though, so don't rely on it as birth control).

Ah - forgot to add if you're having trouble after delivery maybe chat with the gyno. Topical estrogen creams can help but I'd go on rx/doctor recommend because some otc options are iffy in terms of dosage and effectiveness, plus the thyroid issues might require more consideration before using a hormone cream.

Similar for me minus thyroid stuff. What works for me is lots of lube and just do it anyway. By the time things get started my system usually catches up. The difficult bit was getting him on board with that method bc he'd feel like I didn't want to at all. I do. Problem is only my mind knows it til things get going. There is a lube called liquid silk that's water based but a little silicone in the ingredients too so it's freaking awesome bc it doesn't do that sticky quick dry crap so many seem t…

If they ask then I will usually answer unless it is a friend who is just looking for venting and an echo, then I won't. I I won't agree with them if I don't and the ones that know me well enough to be talking to me about those things know damn well that they are either going to get my answer or I'm going to tell them they don't want me to answer that. However I've also noticed that in these situations, most people aren't going to be giving a complete picture of what's going on, so it's not typic…

Mine would end up showing as positive even though it wasn't because due to PCOS related issues basically the hormone would increase and gear up to ovulate and look positive on the test but my Cycles were still ultimately anovulatory. They might be a better indicator for people with more consistent Cycles, but if it's consistent you probably don't need the tests anyways. (And before the internet MDs weigh in, yes, I was reading them correctly and know they don't work like pregnancy tests.) Depend…

Neither was I. The tests never worked well for me and the gynos I've seen said they didn't recommend due to accuracy issues. Anyway, I'm out of that phase now. If another happens to take, cool. If not, it is what it is.

Conversely, I have a friend in a very strange relationship where she had her husband check her cervical fluid Might have been an anatomy issue. I know I can't reach mine to check. Husband has bigger hands so probably could check if we went that route rather than just not being able to check.

Might be easier if the kid is on a bicycle if slow pace is the issue. Another option is walking laps around the playground while they play. They do their thing and you can get in some exercise while still able to see them.

With only the context you are providing it seems like an over-reaction but in light of other context it might just be the final straw of a very large pile. If you weren't in on the phone call and don't know all the details of your husband's relationship with his father, I would stay out of it and trust how he is deciding to deal with them. Also there is no possible way any of us can know your father-in-law's intentions with the comment. It could have been an attempt at humor, it could have been …

As far as the standing date with SS, order it as a takeaway and stay in. Regarding not having other friends, find a class or something and find some with similar interests/schedules. (Google your town's name with the words "community calendar" for some options.) If this is one of those things where you were visibly upset because you wanted to be asked in order to have an opportunity to tell him others found you desirable, figure out what your underlying issue is because trying for jealousy is no…

Congrats :-) Took me so freaking long to get pregnant I didn't so much care. In any case, it's a boy and he needs to stop shoving on my cervix right now if I have any hope of making it through the walk to work today. Husband and I are both the oldest in our families, so I can see the upsides of either being the oldest. Name choice has been an issue (different country/language between his side of the family and mine - we're trying to limit it to things both sides can say and letters that can easi…

I lost 60lbs since getting married, made my dress (under $100 for supplies - coupon/sale combo on the fabric), it went to Goodwill eventually. Right now I'm pregnant and less than a month from the due date and got curious -- Tried them on and I can't wear my "fat pants" because there's too much space. Blows my mind a little. Cleared the old stuff out of the closet, now to decide what gets donated and what gets to be fabric scraps.

When did you first try it? They seem to have switched to a softer/more flexible silicone in the past 4-5 years than they were using 10 years back. As far as the size, the Diva Cup is actually the longest of the reusable cups last I checked. Their younger/pre-childbirth size is on par with the older/post size of some other brands. If you have a low cervix you probably will find another brand more comfortable. Also, the instructions used to say not to cut the stem, but I always have - it's much mo…

Try to take one thing to add into your routine at a time. If you try to get the whole house on track in a day, it won't work. It ends in frustration and you end up with less mental energy to deal with what you CAN be doing. If things get out of hand cleaning wise, try to get one room under control a day, or one category. After it's done, focus on maintaining that room/category and add in another. Maintaining is much easier than going from 0-100 every week. Also looking at what can be overlapped.…

I know a lot of people won't get it, so to avoid judgment I just don't share this part of my relationship with those sorts of people. they don't have to get my relationship. I'm happy this way. This with a side of "and sometimes it's none of their damn business" sums up my thoughts. For example, I'd not be discussing my enthusiasm or lackthereof for my SO and I's sex life to give people the opportunity to comment.

It's a huge mix. Making lace, clothing, stuffed animals, sweaters, hats, rugs, blankets etc and even repairing bee-keeping gear (that one I did in trade - some really good honey in exchange for the repairs). Only thing I really won't do is wedding related alterations. Wedding stuff makes people crazy.

She bumps down to the bottom and looks to her mom who starts cheering, haha. It sounds weird, but if in that split second you can determine whether the inevitable crying that follows is pain and actually hurt, or just startled, the aftermath can go much better. If it's pain/actually hurt, comfort and patch them up while keeping in mind they fell, not you; you need to be the one keeping it together here - they'll be less anxious if you are. If the bump/slip/fall was harmless and just startled the…

Anyone know of cleaning rags/towels that will actually absorb liquids? I have a mix of old and new, and all of them seem to spread water around rather than picking it up! Washing such items with fabric softener can decrease absorbency. I run a separate softener-free load with those and they stay absorbent compared to a few years ago when I didn't do that (some white vinegar if you have hard water can help make sure all the soap rinses out properly, which can also help).

I think much of that is based on stereotypes. Regardless of where you are you're going to have women who have standards and live up to them, and those who do not. Now, if there's something particularly important to you to work on and you happen to know someone who excels in that area, by all means, ask her for advice even if you don't have the same background, but understand there's a difference between self-improvement and role-playing. If you're trying too hard to go against the culture you're…

Accepting an offer immediately can be judged as being greedy/lazy/etc. How should I manage the situation in this case? "Thank you so much for the offer. I think I can manage it, but I really appreciate the thought." Basically, if the goal is keeping up appearances/looking good, you acknowledge that with thankfulness/acknowledgement/praise of some sort and accept/decline the offer accordingly. In audience situations, the other person wins because they've gotten the acknowledgement, and if they co…

He'll pretty much have to be (language barrier issues). If that wasn't an issue, he wants to be, so will be. From my perspective I'm pretty much dead in the middle of "Yeah, stick around that makes sense," and "Are you kidding? I barely want the doctor in there."

I'll usually do a general google when I'm looking for something specific (key words rather than typing out questions seems to get more solid info and less "yahoo answers" type results), only click the links that don't look like BS, and then from there take the good and leave the bad. (For example, keeping stress levels low is good, living in a bubble and avoiding all responsibilities or any interaction that may not be perfect/pleasant, not so much; healthy eating is good, demanding daily fresh s…

The general guideline is 340 additional calories when you're in second trimester, and up to 450 additional in the third (that's 450 from your base, not on top of the 340 you added in the second). No additional calories are needed in the first trimester. (If your doc agrees with the brochure and says don't add until 3rd trimester, follow those directions though - and congrats :-) )

If i am married i totally would reply "pics or it didn't happen" to friends of opposite gender. A long-time friend where there's no question of where things stand and no double-entendre follow ups, maybe, but this is a new guy at work that OP finds attractive. It's inappropriate.

It seems like you need to look more closely and realize that the line you crossed isn't the line between "explicitly sexual vs. everything else," it's the line between what is more personal/intimate ('hey I got a haircut' 'I want a photo' via private text), and an appropriate distance (you see the haircut at work and it is as much surprise to you as everyone else this guy has no relationship with). At this point, it's probably better realize what needs to change and do it than continue on with t…

I always (wrongly I'm seeing now) assumed that marriage is like an "off limits" thing to most people. Part of the "off limits" thing is not giving off the hint that anything is available, not just expecting others to realize "oh, she's married" and have the same interpretation/keep distance regardless of what is going on or being said; conveying that you are indeed "off limits" would include keeping things on a professional level with men at work.

If you're looking for someone to cut your hair but still want it to be budget friendly, see if there's a beauty school in the area. They'll often do hair cuts/treatments/etc. at a discounted rate because the person doing them needs the training, but they're under direct supervision of someone licensed. (This is true for a number of countries outside the US as well, though I'm not sure where you are/if it's the case there).
