- What happens to you isn't everyone's experience.
- The people who post that it happens to everyone are the CHEATERS not the CHEATEES. Stop accusing the cheatees of being negative. We aren't.
- Fair enough. Sorry.
- crazy says what?
- The people who post that it happens to everyone are the CHEATERS not the CHEATEES. Stop accusing the cheatees of being negative. We aren't.

- Many do, many don't.

- Toddler I had a miscarriage last week after ttc for 2 years. DH wants to have a party at our house this weekend. It told him I wasn't up for entertaining. he seemed annoyed
- is he always this dense
- if his agenda is different than mine he seems to be. he is way more party positive as well.
- Just remember that he's experiencing this differently. Wasn't his body, no hormones impacting him. But still, he's pretty callous.
- true
- np i'm so sorry about your miscarriage. i'm so in love with the phrase "party positive" though. i hope you feel better soon, and that your dh gets that you need some time.
- Just remember that he's experiencing this differently. Wasn't his body, no hormones impacting him. But still, he's pretty callous.
- if his agenda is different than mine he seems to be. he is way more party positive as well.
- Ugh, do not do it. Communicate, let him know you're upset about miscarriage. Btdt, sorry.
- okay. TY
- Do you already have a child?
- no
- Aw, so sorry. You should just chill and recover this weekend.
- maybe he thought a party would lift your spirits.
- probably. He loves a party
- or he wants a disraction from it, because he is upset about it.np
- i am so sorry. my husband didn't seem to "get" my mc, either, and it took me a long time to recover emotionally. i am so sorry
- i had one last week too (my second) and dh was equally dense about it. Eventually he admitted that it just wasn't real to him yet, and that's why he wasn't as upset as me. I think...(more)
- I am sorry. yes physically and emotionally it has been hard
- he sounds like a complete jerk, but to play devil's advocate, maybe he feels this will help keep you both occupied and distracted?
- I'm sorry. It is different for men (not their body etc) but that is no excuse. Does he typically deal by avoidance?
- is he always this dense
- Toddler Wy are they calling the London murder a terrorist attack? What makes it a "terror attack"?
- Gee, public beheading with a political motive? I wonder...
- did they actually get the head off? I've heard conflicting reports....
- Such a bizarre story
- because they did it to insight terror. they made statements like it's the lone wolves that will be doing this stuff from now on so you all better look out.
- "sorry women had to see this but our women have to see this every day. You people will not be safe"
- well, the suspects actually declared war after murdering a uniformed soldier, no?
- So a terror attack is like a hate crime against a soldier? I'm wondering what the definition of a terror attack is (op)

- you need to put it on theroots/top for 20 min then pull through to the ends for just 10, since it's dryer it absorbs better/faster
- yup, did that. then i tried pulling it through the roots every other time for 10 minutes.
- This is why you are getting multiple colors. It is not really enough coverage, and when the old color oxidizes, it does not match. I know it's very drying but I color my wntire...(more)
