I'm so tired of falling asleep to social media every night. I want to try no phones in the bedroom, get back to reading and having meaningful conversations with my husband. I'm not sure he's going to go for it though. Anyone here tried this?

Y’all should be fucking not scrolling ;-)

You are right!

I learned I can’t force my spouse to follow my behaviors when I choose to make healthy choices. And I need to make decisions that are good for me, and hopefully it sets an example that’s inspiring. If he wants to scroll, you don’t need to scroll too. I would keep my phone far away from the bed and hook it up to charge on silent and read/drink tea.

Bring it up with them, maybe have something in mind to discuss or just tell them you’d like to talk some before bed. Also would keep in mind, just because you want to make some changes, they might not necessarily right this moment and that’s ok too. I can definitely say getting off my phone before bed is something I need to focus on too.

Charge your phones in the kitchen, take a walk in the moonlight. Do it on the beach, park bench, or order a landline.

The biggest thing I keep running and running around my head- after 8 months, why did he drop me? When he texted ending it l….it wasn’t me, like we weren’t us, his words were from someone else, like I didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how much it wasn’t about me, how he chose to end it, and that’s what crushed me. Who I thought I knew was wrong. I want to know how close he was to loving me.

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

I literally cannot stomach to be around my in laws any longer.

My wife often calls me by 5:45/6 to ask where I am if I’m not headed home yet. Sometimes she’s stressed with kids/dogs/dinner and really wants me home. This really throws off my concentration because it makes me feel rushed. Like many practices sometimes I’m out at 5:30, other times it’s much later. Just depends and is unpredictable. Any advice on how to approach this?
