...See more I am terrified of reptiles. I don’t even like to say the name.. sometimes I see images of them and it will freak me right out. Something bad always happens after I see them. I don’t like anything about them. Texture, eyes, tongue, slithering, their name, nothing. When I go on walks in the summer I have a constant eye out for movement. Leaves and twigs picked up by the wind can freak me right out. My mom believed reptiles were bad and for years conditioned me against them. For lack of a better word. I think that if she hadn’t done that I still would’ve hated them, but that had created an intense fear as well. I have no desire to be near reptiles since even pictures freak me out. I’ve cried when people put fake ones near me when I was younger and now as an adult I still don’t like the realistic or even fake plastic ones. Anyways that’s my biggest phobia. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you

...See more My husband and I are in the midst of building a house. He’s a very decisive person and assertive. Although I know what I don’t like I sometimes have trouble knowing what I do. In a couple house building items I have just given up trying to explain my viewpoint because he just will not compromise and says he can’t see it. He is into contemporary and modern and calls my style country. Enough background. We were in a store yesterday ordering lumber and windows. He says that some of the comments i made seemed rude and that I acted disinterested. He said that he felt like I was throwing a temper tantrum. I don’t feel like i acted that way at all and didn’t realize that the person who was helping us thought that. I apologized to my husband and explained my side and I honestly did not realize that I was perceived that way. But I am still hurt by some of his comments and struggling to grow from this conflict. If you need more information to help give me advice then just ask :) thx
