It’s interesting when you do have to face it. I have an Uncle who refuses to accept his brother because he is gay. He blames every misstep his brother makes on his “lifestyle” because looking at his own sexuality and behavior is too uncomfortable, methinks. Or, he’s just a bigot. Probably the latter.
Families and food are fucked up. My husband won’t eat the last one of anything in a package for fear of being the one that took the last piece of whatever. So, we sometimes have a bunch of randoms. I am always watching calories and sometimes buy foods that I know he will not like because they aren’t the “real” version. He was recently offended when I asked him not to eat the “pizza” I made because he would not like it. I offered to make him a full fat/meat/cheese pizza and he declined. Still annoyed. It’s a no win situation.
It will. My husband thought that if it is below freezing outside, you have to use emergency heat on the heat pump. I hit the fucking roof when I got the bill. Then I started my campaign to demonstrate how a heat pump works. He still doesn’t believe me. Because reasons.
I measured the bowl and bought a pizza pan from Amazon that I foil and lay on top. Works great. It’s been a few years so I don’t have the exact link, but it shouldn’t be hard to measure that bowl if your husband is around.
I’m just starting down the fucked up perimenopausal road, as documented in the mental health thread, and estrogen deficiency will fuck with your heart rhythms big time and it’s rarely discussed. Just posting to say that I’m with on this journey with you. I’d look for a menopause specialist in your area first and get your symptoms checked out by them.
In the rare case that there is a woman other than myself and troph posting on the internet, this is for you. If you are over 40 and experiencing severe depression and anxiety symptoms that are at times debilitating, please consider talking to your OB/GYN about peri menopause. It might not be the issue, but it was something that did not occur to me as a potential cause for almost a year now.
