husband thinks silence is intimacy am i crazy
Quote from farmhouse on August 19, 2019, 9:16 pmI am sitting on the couch at 9 pm. My husband is reading. We have been married six years. He gets really quiet after work. He says this is our bonding time. I want to talk about my day or the fact that the dishwasher is making that loud grinding noise again. He just says hmmm and keeps reading. Last week I asked if he was mad. He said no just enjoying the peace. I feel lonely in my own house. The kids are asleep. The TV is off. I bought a new candle from Sephora for twenty dollars but it does not help. Is he emotionally checking out or am I just annoying? Does silence actually feel like intimacy to other people?

Quote from Donna1998 on February 15, 2019, 7:48 amyeah i get it. after juggling my kids i just dont have the energy to hit the gym. so i just do some gentle stretches in my living room while watching tv. helps my back from holding them all day. dont feel guilty about skipping the intense stuff rn. resting is valid too. we survive by doing what we can. hope you get some peace tonight.

Quote from Rainspore on November 28, 2019, 9:53 amsame here. the humidity is brutal rn. i literally just put ice packs on my wrists and neck for like ten min before bed. also run the shower really cold until the pipes get freezing then turn it off and climb in. it actually helps me stay asleep longer since my body temp drops. good luck staying awake lol. going to try the fan trick again tonight.

Quote from Wiseowl1983 on April 2, 2019, 1:13 amman i feel u. Omg, honestly i just stopped trying to carry everyone. i go to the gym to sweat and clear my head not to fix peoples problems. if they want to come thats cool but im not waiting or pushing anymore. kinda selfish maybe but i needed the space for myself first. my energy is for me right now.

Quote from Tenderdrift on July 10, 2020, 3:19 pmI stopped trying to manifest shit like three posts ago. Now I just grind. We move every two years anyway so nothing stays static. I focus on survival, not vibes. Last month I wanted a promotion and got a DS TR instead lol. Manifestation feels like voodoo when you are grounded in reality. Just do the work and hope for the best.

Quote from Angela1992 on August 16, 2020, 5:28 ambhaiyaa this is normal. lifting kids is heavy work. i use this yoga strap around my waist when carrying them, helps support back. after that i lie down with hot water bag on lower back for 15 mins. also dont lift from knees, bend properly. my doctor said it is because of weak core, so i started simple exercises. rest is important. take care beta.

Quote from free1963 on February 6, 2020, 7:31 pmugh leave her alone. I take so much stuff my daughter thinks I’m one pill away from exploding. Vitamin d, b complex, magnesium, the works. If it makes me feel better then I’m taking it. She rolls her eyes but now she’s putting gummies in my bag. let her think I’m crazy as long as I’m healthy. mi vida es mi fiesta.

Quote from Honeybee1995 on August 17, 2020, 3:29 pmi dont believe in auras but i know what burnout feels like. Omg, if you cant function through your day its exhaustion not a spiritual crisis. i took a mental health day this week just to sleep and eat real food. no screens. you need rest not a cleanse. drop whatever isnt urgent and go lie down. your body is screaming at you to stop. listen to it.

Quote from Chimemarch on October 24, 2020, 12:09 amit is 11 pm and the house is dead quiet. my husband fell asleep on the couch at 930 pm with the tv still on. i just did laundry for the fourth time this week because the kids spill juice everywhere. i went to target today for a $2 cereal box and spent $80 on stuff i do not need. now i am sitting here drinking rooibos tea but i cannot relax. the air feels heavy. why does my home feel so cold and empty when my whole family is literally in the other room? i tried lighting a candle from ulta but it did not help. i just feel so drained. is this normal or am i just crazy?
