is it normal for a man to get quiet and do his own thing
Quote from Warm1995 on March 7, 2024, 4:43 pmit 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?

Quote from Goldenheart1995 on October 5, 2024, 9:43 pmBabe take the nap. Seriously. My husband wants round two daily and I’m over it. I just tell him I’m dead to the world. We compromise on weekends. Rest is sacred at my age. If he’s mad he can sleep on the couch. Your energy is limited so spend it on yourself. Don’t feel guilty.

Quote from Reddisplay on January 3, 2024, 4:53 ami feel that. my husband used to think once a week was totally fine. honestly？ yeah。 we just stopped scheduling it. now its whenever we actually want to。 turns out spontaneity matters more than a rigid calendar。 if he isnt asking for more maybe he just isnt turned on by the routine。

Quote from SparkTide on September 4, 2024, 10:46 pmHonestly same. Honestly, I push myself too hard thinking I need to mirror the girls on insta. Then Im dead. Now I just do 20 mins steady cardio. No heavy lifting. Wash up, drink big glass of water with dates. Then I nap for 30 mins. Wake up like a new person. Stop trying to be perfect. Just show up. Your body will thank u.

Quote from Nora1988 on August 25, 2024, 2:51 amHoney pull up a chair and listen close. I packed my good china and moved to the guest room. He can have his space. I used that time to read my bible and drink iced tea on the porch. If he wants me back he better come ask for it with a clean heart. I ain't waiting around all night anymore.

Quote from Sweety1965 on February 11, 2024, 5:38 amHaha omg same. I swear these leggings just hug every single bit of fat. Just bought new pair and feel bloated already. Honestly think its bloat from eating carbs after gym or just holding water. My scale went up 2kg yesterday but looks the same. So annoying. Just drink more water and ignore the mirror for 2 days. We good right

Quote from Hazeoath on February 18, 2024, 5:57 amArre, ye kya baat hai. My husband also sleeps with mouth hanging open, looks scary actually. I tried taping his mouth once with medical tape, he woke up confused next morning. Now I just give up after two years. It is annoying but not dealbreaker for us. Sahi hai, we make do. If you cant handle it, try nasal strips maybe?

Quote from Stonetank on September 28, 2025, 7:33 amnah that sounds like he’s just trying to get away with being rude. i just tell my partner straight up that his tone is disrespectful and i won’t tolerate it. if he gets defensive then i know he’s not listening. i walk away until he can speak to me with basic respect. you’re not too sensitive for wanting to be treated right.

Quote from Blushsilt on January 4, 2025, 10:03 amSame situation here man. My husband acts like the kids are not his. I am exhausted holding everything down while he just sits there. My mom and sisters literally had to step in to help with the little ones otherwise I would have collapsed. It drives me crazy that I have to do everything. Just venting cause I have no energy left for this nonsense. Need a break badly.

Quote from Fiona1988 on September 16, 2025, 7:23 amI stopped trying to manifest money long ago. Now I just grind. I budget tight, pick up extra shifts, and invest what I can. If I want a new car I save for it or work a second job. Manifesting felt like waiting for a check that never arrives. Real talk its about action not just vibes. I focus on what I can control today.
