” If you are the star in your house, and usually win the arguments, not having sex may be the price you are paying” Interesting response! The poster never said anything about being the ”star” in the house. Perhaps you are speaking from personal experience? ”If you want this marriage to work, find out the reason for his depression and take ownership of anything you may have done to contribute to it... He does not turn to you because he does not feel safe doing so.” Uh, this sounds like blaming the poster and putting all the responsibility on her shoulders. I still say an overwei ...

There probably isn’t a way to do so easily. But don’t feel too badly as she appears to have no qualms about taking advantage of people! She’ll find someone to help her; people like that always do. Notice how quickly she makes friends! It won’t be fun, but if she asks, you’ll have to tell her you value your privacy and husband works from home now, so it would be a burden. And you wouldn’t want YOUR friendship to end like the others. You might want to suggest counseling to discover her underlying issues. She could be depressed.   [End]

Yeah, but the point is that some feel it’s NOT natural to have so many periods, as we weren’t meant to have 12-13 every year. Our bodies naturally would get pregnant often without birth control, skipping MANY periods along the way. Makes sense. It ties in with the phenomena(?) that women who don’t have children tend to have more fibroids and other reproductive issues than those who do. As for hormone supplementation, I believe there are cases where nature didn’t give us all the same, adequate amount...just as we all have different deficiencies from insulin to minerals.

There is no quicker way to chase someone off than to be too clingy and needy. ”I know she’s hurt and angered that I keep being insecure.” More likely it’s the invasion of her privacy! Spying on her is just as indicative of control issues as insecurity. Take some time off to discover how to become confident in your own right. Not easy...it’s a lifetime quest.

I’m not saying I agree with this, but the philosophy behind the new birth control pills with fewer periods is that it supposedly mimics real life more closely than our periods do now. ”They” say that women weren’t meant to have so many periods as we do now, because we used to have NO bc and therefore many more babies, essentially stopping periods for as much as 9 months per year! Today, we have fewer and none. Also, we are living longer and hence, more periods. The main danger, in my mind, is taking synthetic hormones on a regular basis.   [End]
