How does the possibility of pregnancy impact intimacy or desire within your marriage?

In a similar position actually...are you talking about it from a psychological aspect or a physical one?

I think it requires agreement, also marriage implies but does not require children.

We don't want children, so we actively avoid that problem.
No impact on intimacy though.

With an IUD, I never worried. When I took the IUD out, the first night I couldn’t go through with sex, even though we had planned to get pregnant. Later, I would use the Apple health (not the most accurate, but you can start to pick up how much the fertile window is off) app to approximate when we needed to have sex every other day. Now that we’re pregnant, it doesn’t affect it unless I don’t feel well.

I'm an RN of 7 years, experience as a coordinator, on committees and do all the things. But now I just don't want to go to work anymore. I have anxiety every morning over nothing, just having to go perform my job. I could do my job in my sleep so I'm just lost and confused. My body is clearly sending me messages to leave. But where do I go? I think I need to step out of patient care.

Any WFM nurses out there? Better work-life balance??

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)
