@synchkat I'd totally come watch you skate! Afterward, I'll show you the scar on my wrist from when I broke it 11 weeks ago....roller skating.

I agree with you 100%. That part about "to have and to hold" isn't about hugging. I've explained to him that he's broken his marriage vows and he agrees....and then does nothing to change it. I'm past the point of giving him more chances; I'm just biding my time until I file for divorce and I will be filing based on…

I'm not the person you replied to, but I have a husband that apparently decided our sex life is over. This has been very upsetting to me because I do get my emotional needs met through sex. I feel loved and desired. He can tell me he loves me all day long, but when we have zero sex life, I don't believe it. I have gone…

I've asked my husband to open our marriage since he's not interested in me but he refuses. I've told him that I agreed to monogamy, not celibacy. I don't think you can have it all ways; you can't refuse to have sex with your wife and then also refuse to divorce her and refuse to open the marriage. I had kids when he and I…

I'm quite open about the fact that I'm in essentially a sexless marriage and very unhappy about it. I'm the "high libido" person. My spouse has refused to seek any kind of help; every time we've discussed it, he's agreed with me that there's a problem but he's made no attempt to change things. The only time I've had a…

I confess that I have been pissed at my spouse all day long because Sunday I did the triathlon I've spent the last 6 months training for and I crossed the finish line to see...NO ONE. My spouse has been unable to get the kids to any of my races to see me cross the finish line. I didn't care so much when it was just a 5K or…

I grew up in PA, near Hershey. Once I was an adult, I moved to NC then TX then back to PA then to IN and finally to VA.

I think waiting 2 years to date is pretty harsh, although I do think it's best to wait at least that long before getting into a committed relationship. When I split from my ex, my next relationship was a longish one with a guy that would never have made a good partner for me. I was aware of that, but there was still a part…

I'm sitting on the fence, trying to decide when to retain a lawyer. My husband and I get along ok-ish but there's no intimacy. I've done everything I could to fix this and he's obviously not interested, but he also doesn't want to divorce. I would like to be available in case I meet someone I'm interested in, but we have…

These are my two very favorite jokes. What's brown and sticky? A stick. What's brown and rhymes with snoop? Dr. Dre.

My title is Business Analyst which doesn't tell you much. I work for a small software company; I write the user manuals and help files, plus other supporting documentation and I also create requirements docs. I help with QA testing, too.

Scorpio. I generally don't put a lot of stock in astrology, but some of the stuff is hard to explain otherwise.

I'm in the suburbs of Richmond, VA. Hate it here.

I'm pretty open about the fact that we have zero sex life and yes, I do think it's worth getting a divorce over. In my particular situation, it's not just about sex but about a complete lack of intimacy. It's a very lonely existence and can be devastating to a person's self esteem. I consider myself lucky because I'm on…

I met my current husband when I was 37 and divorced. We met at a driving range when I gave him some tips. He was just starting the process of separating from his wife. For whatever reason, he was convinced that we belong together, but I told him that I wasn't interested in dating anyone, much less someone in the early…

I have a variety of pets... Two goldendoodles, Jeb and Farrah. They're from different litters and born a week apart. I got Farrah to be a running partner and they both run with me when it's not too hot, but they have such wonderful personalities that my goal is for them to become therapy dogs. My mini dachshund, Schatzi.…

I set it up as a food because I didn't like it coming up on my feed every day.

The problem with that is the older ones have some issues, like the lack of desire to get an education or a good job, and the young ones are still cute enough that I like them. I'll have to see if the 6 year old behaves today; if he doesn't, I may ask for your address.

I'm jumping in here, even though I hope to be out of it in the next year. I'm 48, sort of married, mother of 8 kids, business analyst and training for a triathlon and half marathon plus planning a race. On top of that, I feel like I need to get serious about dropping this last 15 lb. or so that I've held on to since the…

Well, I'm posting on this thread so there's that.

I've tried to work it out. We were in marriage counseling for 3 years and I've given him almost 18 months from when I told him I wanted a divorce the first time. I turn 50 next year and I want my life to be different. It's extremely depressing when you feel terrible about yourself because there's no intimacy with your…

Not by choice. My husband has apparently lost all desire to have sex with me so I'm going to be divorcing him.

I'm 48 and have been running for about 2 1/2 years, although I was out for a while when I was pregnant with my youngest. Last year I ran the Ukrop's 10K in March and the half in November. This year, I'm planning to do the 10K again and the half in November as well as the Pink Power Triathlon in August.

I have 8 kids (26 years down to almost 15 months). With the youngest, I had some complications during my pregnancy so I was on bed rest and in and out of the hospital. She was born via c-section at 36 weeks. It was my first c-section so getting back in shape has been more challenging than it was with the others. I was 46…

Are you sure you're not pregnant? I had a baby at 46 and it really wasn't difficult conceiving!

I jump on the scale every single day. I know my weight may fluctuate so I don't let it get to me if it's up a bit one day, but, boy, does it make my day if it's down a bit. I tried to stick to weekly weighing and it drove me crazy.

Congrats on both the baby and losing the baby weight! I feel you on so many points -- I had a baby last March and had a c-section, which made recovery and losing weight much harder. Running is also my therapy and I'm planning to do a half in November.

I lift several times a week, following the stronglifts program. I like stronglifts because it was super easy for me to follow as a beginner last year and I love that it doesn't put me in the weight room for hours. Since it's nasty cold here, I'm pretty much at the gym every other day and lift and run (or do some other form…

My cardio is running almost every other day to train for a 10K so I'm trying to improve both my distance and time. I use http://jog.fm to look up songs that fit for the mile time I'm aiming for.

My scar is only 11 mo. old but I have the shelf and my plan is to lose body fat and then have a tummy tuck. This thread has pictures, although since it's old, a lot of them have been lost/removed. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/670678
