For context I never use divorce as a threat. I have brought it up 3 x in our 10 years of marriage because I honestly had nothing left to give and wanted out. And every single time, non dx husband would beg, resume therapy, make an effort. All short of getting an official diagnosis and trying medication. Of course the effort will last a month and things will go back to normal. Normal being him living like a bachelor and doing whatever he wants; his new expensive hyper focus rotating every few months and spending all sorts of $ and shedding all responsibility with our young children.

I have so much resentment built up in me that he can be the most perfect partner moving forward and I would not care. We sleep in different rooms. We haven't held hands or any sort of physical contact in a year. We are roommates with children. But if I bring up divorce he refuses, becomes apologetic, saying he can do better. It's a never ending cycle that I fear will only end when one of us dies.

Any stories of people who stayed and it was worth it?

2019 I had a uterine rupture from my first birth and 2023 I had premature rupture of the membrane resulting in my baby being born at 28 weeks.

Fast forward to last week, I'm at a doctor's appointment for knee and joint pain. Scored 7 on Beighton score. I was informed that people with hypermobility syndrome have connective tissue issues, which can affect pregnancies. Doc said though no formal conclusion has been made in research, there has been a correlation between hypermobility and uterine ruptures/water breaking early.

Has anyone heard anything about this? I feel like my mind has been blown. I've never had an answer for why my uterus ruptured (.002% chance for 1st pregnancies) and water breaking at 28 weeks (.5% chance) but learning this makes me think I should never even think about a third child.

I'm 38F and only know what menieres is because my mother has it.

Recently after the birth of my 2nd child, accompanied by extreme sleep deprivation, I have randomly had insane room spinning episodes where I instantly need to vomit. I also randomly have pressure in one ear, like I'm on a plane, which lasts for a few days. I also randomly get ringing in one ear for about 10 seconds and become momentarily deaf, for no rhyme or reason.

When I told my mom this she said this is exactly how it started for her, but I'm starting a decade earlier. Are these early signs of Menieres? Is there anything I can do to slow the progression? My mom recommended acupuncture for preventative measures. Has anyone tried that?

Thanks for any advice

I have recently been reading that once women hit perimenopause that strength training should change to high weight, low reps. However Bodypump has a million reps with lower weights. Is this class inefficient for women of this age?

ETA: My body is changing due to menopause and I am trying to figure out if I need to change up my routine based on research for this stage of life. I'm not trying to belittle the class - I enjoyed it for over a decade.

I teach in a neighboring district and am considering switching to another district. I've been able to find other districts' salary scales but cannot find for Upper Dublin. Wondering if anyone would be willing to share, or provide a link if you know where it is online. Thanks for any help

When I search for rooms with 2 adults plus 2 children under 7, some Dreams resorts (such as Dreams Jade and Dreams Puerto Morelos) limit to only 3 people max, even if it fits 4 people if paying with cash. Anyone know why this is? Is there a way to book and then contact them to add a fourth?

Any advice in between these 2? I've read that Natura beach isn't that great but they have splash pad and lazy river. I don't think my kids are tall enough for some of their other amenities. Riviera sounds like they have a better beach but less to do? The rooms look nicer at Natura from photos.

Thanks for any insight!

Is this doable? Or will we lose our minds? I think husband and I would have to use the upper bunks since our kids are young and might fall off.

ETA: OOPS I MEANT 2, NOT 3 ADULTS. Sorry fat finger

We are moving to a home with a laundry closet, requiring either a tower or stacked units (electric, not gas), which we have never had before. We are deciding between LG stackable units or the LG washtower. We read that for a tower, once one breaks you will have to replace the whole thing. But for stacked, I am 5'2 so accessing dryer might be difficult.

Our deciding factor depends on which will be harder to service once it needs repair/cleaning. Is it more expensive/difficult to service stacked units since you would need to possibly take the dryer down to repair the washer? Or is it the same with a tower?

Thanks for any advice!

I can't get the Google health app to track my heart rate from my fitbit. It worked just fine with the Fitbit app but completely stopped with the new app. It won't track any heart rate, cardio, the active zone, etc. updated both my fitbit and app and restarted everything but can't figure out why it's not working. Any advice?

Scheduled an endocrinologist appt already but in the meantime hand xray shows 20 month old bones for 39 month old son, around 3 standard deviations below the mean. He is 1st percentile for height. All disorder blood testing came back normal. He was born 27&6 weeks gestation.

The appt is not until the end of the year but I want to be knowledgeable about all possible options. What can we do here? Is this a wait&see situation? Or growth hormone therapy? If GHT, is there a benefit to starting this young vs waiting until he's 7 or so? I can't grasp the idea of possibly giving my 3 year old a daily shot for 10 years.

Anyone who currently has a Fitbit can tell you the mandatory switch to Google health platform has been awful. Considering switching to bip 6 because of its affordability. Anyone else make the switch? Happy or regretful?

I've heard people put their open house signs out a day early to gain more interest, but sometimes confuses people. I've also heard people put it out right before it starts. Google says best is 1 night before or morning of. What do y'all normally do? I've done the day before and though it confused some people it did bring those same people back the next day, and they might not have seen the sign had it gone up the day of. Thoughts?
