O/T any steptalkers out there with financial knowledge? wanting to refinance our mortgage.

CaptainD's picture

so I've done a fair amount of internet searching. seems like the average rate we'd get is about 3.5%, which is better than the 6% we're at now. however, there are so many loans and companies to choose from, I am getting bogged down in the other details, such as closing costs/lender fees. so I have a couple questions. if anyone will take the time to answer them I would so appreciate it. my husband bought our house before he met me, so I really have no experience with this. however, it seems that he is content to leave this all up to me.

O/t. I'm sure he has fantasies too

Well my husband made a dick comment to me earlier this evening.

History:
We don't have a lot of sex anymore. I used to be able to blame it on "just having had a baby" but my daughter is 17 months old. Erg.
I just don't ever want it! Well, from him. I find myself fantasizing about sex with other men, um dexter, or Bruce Springsteen (when he was young) anyone?

OT public speaking can I get some opinions?

So my work recently started having each employee give a small presentation relatin to our profession. Each morning someone has to speak for a minute or two about something related to our practice. I went this morning. I was so nervous and I couldn't breathe. I absolutely hate sPeaking in front of groups. I hated it in school, I hate it now. I am anxious and physically I'll for days before I have to do it.

Need advice

I am a stepmother (9 years) and a bio mom 1 year. I am feeling very depressed, and I don't know what to do. I told my husband that I want to separate, but I do t think I actually do. I don't want my 1yo daughter to have divorced parents. I think it was just an empty threat to get him to talk to me. He is not emotionally expressive, AT ALL. He has his daughter (sd14) this weekend. He works out of town during the week, and damnit I thought that since I had my daughter I had gotten over the resentment toward sd14. I didn't want her here this weekend.i am so inconsistent...

I just had my baby on june 4th. I have been feeling down. I feel trapped, like I had no idea what I was signing up for when I decided to have a child. My life seems to have POOF, disappeared, and I am depressed. I'm breastfeeding, so I am like, chained to this baby 24/7.

Now, I love my daughter, and my husband has been wonderful trying to help me, make me feel good about myself.

Please, someone tell me it gets better. Anyone who can share their experience/offer encouraging words.... please.
