It drives me crazy and I have to repeat the word out loud (sometimes I do it in my head if people around etc.) over and over the way I pronounce it til I feel it's concrete enough that I'm okay to move on. It doesn't drive me as crazy if I pronounce something wron... |

| Wow, that was a trip down memory lane!! ! My neighbor had those fake scented flowers and we used to make them together as kids! I didn't like pink either for a long time but now I like it, if it's HOT pink and funky. I loved/love My Little Ponies! |

| We have had counseling--and still have, when we can afford it. But nothing suggested has ever worked (for our sex life). My husband and I actually communicate to e/o fairy well as far as that goes, it just doesn't fix any problems or ways that we are so different. |

| I have tried to give myself one many a time--no go on that. And yeah, I had that very conversation--he got very quiet and teary eyed and said he would need a good sex life for the marriage to work, but then at the end of the convo. said "It'll get better." and left. As for the ex, in 2 months I will... |

I suppose if you were content to live in a small house/apartment and not take vacations or buy much, you could work less...just have to prioritize....but I think that's just the way our society is structured so ... |
