Women clearly communicate their needs? My wife’s biggest issue with me is why I don’t get epiphanies of what’s exactly going on in her mind. And why she always needs to give me subtle hints of everything and then also she’s only giving subtle hints and not saying it clearly.. results in her getting angry which I realised after 2-3 days, then I say sorry and so nice things for her and then it repeats! Phew; 5 years of doing this now 🙈

I definitely agree with this. I feel like as a woman I am really good at communicating what I need and then my husband acts like he can't comprehend it. All he needs to do is open his ears from time to time and then we wouldn't have any issues haha.

hahhaha maybe some are. But for most they really expect their partners to assume whats on their mind and be actually correct about it.

Its on the similar lines as-
I really want flowers but I don't wanna tell my boyfriend I want flowers because then if he gets me flowers it's because I said I wanted them and I wanna get them because he wanted to get them for me but dammit I want flowers.

Well, I am the wife, but I do surprise my husband with things he likes sometimes, and he does the same.

Our 5 month old started daycare about 5 weeks ago. We’ve already had to keep her home for 2.5 of those 5 weeks due to catching various illnesses (croup, rsv, brinchiolitis, etc). Both my wife and I have been sick most of that time as well (gotten it from the baby). Wife is thinking we get a full time nanny for the next 4 months to help the baby build antibodies. Cost aside, is this feasible / worthwhile to go thru the effort / finding the right fit, only for 4 months?

Okay finance gurus, I have an idea and interested in your thoughts. Might be a bad one so be gentle 🙂. I have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Need to start planning for college.

But is this a good idea or too risky?

Whoever said bumble bbfs was great couldn’t have been more right. It’s weird I’ve l been confident in how I look in the last few years but my personality and likability was put into question but instantly I seem to be receiving the friendship attention I like, 50+ likes by 4am on the first day, signed up at 2am.
