Seated yoga poses for seniors offer a simple way to stay active without needing to get down on the floor or handle more demanding movements. It can be a practical option for older adults who want gentle exercise focused on posture, breathing, flexibility, and controlled movement. 🪑✨ Why Choose It? ✔️Accessible and low-impact: A chair provides support, which can make movement feel more manageable. ✔️Easy to do at home: You don’t need much space or special equipment. 🏠 ✔️Built around gentle movement: The focus is on steady, controlled motion instead of intensity. ✔️Easier to make consistent: A short seated routine can feel more realistic than a longer workout. How to Start? 👇 Use a sturdy chair: Choose one that feels stable and lets you keep both feet flat on the floor. Start with the basics: Simple moves like Seated Mountain Pose, Seated Arm Raise, Seated Spinal Twist, Seated Knee Lift, or Seated Forward Bend are a good entry point. Move with your breath: Slow breathing can help you stay relaxed and avoid rushing. Keep sessions short at first: A short chair-based routine can be a practical starting point, and many programs last around 10 to 30 minutes. ⏰ Helpful Tips 💡 Sit tall instead of sinking into the chair: Good posture helps the movement feel more controlled. Stay in a comfortable range: You do not need a big stretch for the routine to feel useful. Move slowly: Seated yoga works best when you’re not using momentum. Start small and repeat: A shorter routine done regularly is usually more practical than doing too much at once. 🔄 A gentle seated yoga routine does not need to be complicated to be worthwhile. Start with movements that feel manageable, focus on steady breathing, and build consistency before adding more time or variety. ❔ Which seated yoga pose would you be most likely to try first? ✴️ https://preview.redd.it/kfuf6ajmxqvg1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa6b8ef22939872917307760a4ae11bfe0890e2d submitted by /u/bettermetips to u/bettermetips [link] [comments]

I’m looking for suggestions on a brief sequence to build core strength while seated. Details: have been teaching gentle mat yoga for 8 years and chair yoga for 2–both through community groups that are mostly seniors. I have an elderly family member who has significant balance issues (that have basically rendered them immobile/atrophied) and finally got a diagnosis of ataxia (poor muscle control) and treatment plan of physical therapy. I know I can help them with the chair yoga, but they are resistant to any activity and insistent that yoga isn’t intense enough to be effective. I’ll have to skip breathing and long warm ups and just do 3-4 postures. Sort of yoga disguised as a mini workout 😂 I think I’m psyching myself out of knowing what to do because I want it to be easy and helpful enough that they’ll keep doing it and not argue it doesn’t work. Any suggestions, but particularly ones from people who have worked in PT or with this condition, are greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/PinkTurtlehead to r/YogaTeachers [link] [comments]

April 10, 2026 Quick intro — I’ve done roughly 2,500 bunion surgeries over the past 18 years, and one thing I keep coming back to with my older patients (and those who don’t tolerate standing therapy) is a short seated routine that actually changes symptoms: chair yoga for seniors with bunions. I started recommending a 15-minute seated session years ago because it’s low-impact, sustainable, and targets foot function without stressing the painful first MTP joint. What I tell patients and why it works: - Non-weight-bearing movements (ankle circles, toe fans) warm the joint and improve circulation during morning stiffness. - Activating intrinsic foot muscles (toe fans to recruit the abductor hallucis) helps resist progressive bunion deformity and improves foot posture. - Addressing the kinetic chain — simple seated calf stretches and hip/core awareness — reduces forefoot loading during the day and while walking. - Proprioceptive work (seated mountain pose with attention to equal pressure on all four corners of the foot) retrains how someone distributes weight once they stand. A practical 15-minute routine I use in clinic (easy to remember): 1) Ankle circles — 10 each direction per foot (2 min) 2) Toe fans — spread and squeeze, 10 reps (1 min) 3) Heel-to-toe rocks — 15 reps (2 min) 4) Seated foot stretch — cross ankle over knee, dorsiflex and plantarflex toes, then gentle big-toe varus stretch (2 min each side) 5) Seated calf stretch — extend leg, pull toes back, hold 30s x 2 per side (2 min each side) 6) Seated mountain pose — press all four corners of each foot into the floor, 60s eyes open, 60s eyes closed (2 min) 7) Ankle pumps — 20 reps to finish (1 min) Practical tips: do this before getting dressed (barefoot or slippers), use a firm dining chair, and focus on breathing and slow controlled movements. Tight calves increase forefoot loading — that’s a huge, often overlooked contributor to bunion pain. If you’re a caregiver or older adult reading this, it’s a simple way to reduce morning swelling and preserve foot flexibility without pain. Curious if anyone here has tried a seated routine like this and noticed less bunion pain or better balance? What worked or didn’t for you? https://halluxcare.com/blogs/foot-health/chair-yoga-seniors-bunions-seated-foot-exercises submitted by /u/shane-jay222 to r/HalluxCare [link] [comments]

Gentle, chair-based yoga or Tai Chi can be a great option for seniors or beginners. Slow movements, simple breathing, and seated exercises like arm circles or weight shifts can improve balance and relaxation without strain. submitted by /u/Extension_Peak_4414 to r/flexibility [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I just finished my second class teaching chair yoga to seniors with very limited mobility. I've run into an issue with creating sequences though. The program director specified that all the poses should be done in the chair, not using it for stability. They also get very little funding so they don't have mats or props, just chairs. That fact, plus taking into account osteoperosis (no spinal flexion, lateral bending, or rotation), really limits the poses I can teach. Below I wrote a mashup of my two sequences since they're pretty similar to each other. The main problem is the standing pose/warrior section of the class. I feel like I'm limited to warrior 1 and 2 flows so I just switched the order of them and swapped a few of the other poses (I included all of the poses from both so that's why it's long and may not really flow). I don't want the students to get bored of the same warrior 1/warrior 2 flow, but at the same time I have to keep them in the chair and accommodate everyone's contraindications. Does someone have any insight or experience with this? Thank you!

For background, I work at a senior center where aging adults frequent my desk and grab something from my candy dish. One particular individual visits all of our desks daily and takes home her “haul” to enjoy in front of the TV lol. We are a very health-forward community so looking for something a little healthier to leave in my candy dish that would still be enticing. Preferably: -Individually wrapped -Inexpensive -Non-perishable Any ideas? EDIT: Coming back to say I grabbed some breakfast bars to put in the candy dish along with what candy was already in there, and she was thrilled. Came back today and said she really liked it but since there was only a few (I just got one box for her to try) she was going to only get one every other day to make them last longer. I had her go ahead and take another one and assured her I could get more. Y’all are quick to assume. This is a senior center, not a nursing/retirement home. Our seniors jump at the chance to do something that will benefit their health. Our chair yoga class is completely booked out, there’s a waiting list to get into the next class. Most people that visit are between 60 and 80 so the choices they make are impacting their long-term health; they aren’t on death’s door being denied their final pleasures. And many of them are low-income, and come for free lunches, so they appreciate filling and healthy snacks. On Halloween we give out candy alongside peanut butter crackers, bags of pretzels, granola bars, popcorn, etc. And all the other desks have candy :) submitted by /u/eliminate_hurry to r/EatCheapAndHealthy [link] [comments]

I'm thinking of offering a yoga class for senior citizens in my new studio. Maybe chair yoga or something similar? Is anyone else doing something like this? Was it successful? Is there anything I should consider or be aware of? submitted by /u/Gnctx to r/YogaTeachers [link] [comments]

As we age, maintaining flexibility and mobility becomes more important — not just for health, but for independence in everyday life. Chair stretches offer a gentle, low-impact way to improve flexibility, reduce muscle stiffness, and support joint health without the need to stand or get on the floor. 🔑 Simple Chair Stretch Ideas to Try Here are some gentle and effective moves that seniors can include in daily routines: 1. Seated Side Reach 2. Seated Hamstring Stretch 3. Chest Opener Stretch 4. Calf Stretch with Chair Support 5. Seated Torso Twist ❔❔ How has gentle stretching helped your mobility as you’ve gotten older (if at all)? https://preview.redd.it/1z9xnslyhyeg1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=90e78c9702dc2de8eec4e475efb9ff7c8368d0b5 submitted by /u/bettermetips to u/bettermetips [link] [comments]

Getting older doesn’t mean missing out on movement — it just means moving smarter. Armchair yoga adapts classic yoga into gentle, seated exercises that are ideal for seniors or anyone with limited mobility. You don’t need to get on the floor or balance on one leg — a sturdy chair and mindful breathing are enough to get started. 🧘‍♂️ Simple Chair Yoga Poses to Try Try these easy exercises next time you’re seated: 1. Seated Mountain Pose Sit tall with feet flat, shoulders relaxed — helps alignment and posture. 2. Chair Cat-Cow Stretch Arch and round the back with breath — great for spinal mobility. 3. Seated Twist Gently rotate your torso using the chair for support — improves spinal flexibility. 4. Chair Warrior II (Modified) With one leg forward and one slightly back while seated, reach arms wide — builds lower-body strength. 5. Seated Forward Bend Hinge at hips and fold forward to stretch back and hamstrings. ❔❔ Have you noticed any unexpected benefits from chair or gentle seated exercises? https://preview.redd.it/nzmlkx6m1ybg1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=8ef55eda4df2cb13248667ea96b783ad33858147 submitted by /u/bettermetips to u/bettermetips [link] [comments]

🪑 Green Bubz Chair Yoga For Seniors Review: We Gave It a Real-Life Try (So You Don’t Have To) If your joints sound like popcorn and your idea of cardio is walking to the mailbox, you’re in good company. Aging can sneak up on you — one creaky knee at a time. Tired of feeling stiff, sluggish, or flat-out annoyed at how hard it is to move freely? That frustration isn't just physical. It messes with your head, drains your energy, and chips away at your confidence. I wanted something that didn’t involve gym shoes, mats, or pretending I could still touch my toes. That’s how I ended up trying Chair Yoga For Seniors — a program built for people who are fed up with feeling stuck and want to actually do something about it. 📦 Product Overview Product Name: Chair Yoga For Seniors Category: Fitness & Wellness ➝ Senior Exercise Programs Overall Verdict: 4.7/5 📚 What’s Inside the Bundle This isn't some dusty old PDF. It's a full kit made to actually help you move. The highlight? A printable guide to chair yoga for seniors that’s clean, simple, and friendly. The Chair Yoga Flashcards designed for seniors are a sweet touch — clear visuals and short instructions make it easy to follow, even if you're low-key allergic to tech. These yoga flashcards are really easy-to-follow and while made for seniors over 60, anyone can benefit from these poses. The 30-day calendar lays out a complete 10-minute daily chair yoga challenge seniors can follow, so you're never left wondering what to do next. All in all, this at-home yoga resource for older adults (PDF format) is great if you like a mix of paper and screen. Just sit, stretch, smile, repeat. 💁‍♀️ From my Friend Sandra ... So this is actually from Sandra, a retired librarian I met through my local plant-based Meetup group (yes, she makes a wicked lentil loaf). She's 67, super sharp, and one of those people who always has a tote bag and a podcast recommendation. She told me she started doing the Chair Yoga For Seniors program because gardening — her favorite weekend hobby — had become a literal pain in the back. Between weeding, crouching, and hauling bags of mulch, her hips and knees weren’t loving it anymore. That’s what pushed her to try a gentler way to stay limber. Sandra was keen to see if seniors can follow the 10-minute daily chair yoga challenge for two weeks straight and was honestly surprised at how much looser and more balanced she felt. She liked that the program didn’t overwhelm her with too much information. She was surprised that these chair yoga poses seemed to help with her arthritis and joint pain. It gave her real relief after long days in the yard. Her only gripe? She wished the chair yoga flashcards were laminated or a little sturdier. “I spilled tea on one,” she said, “and it turned into modern art.” Still, she kept going and now swears by her morning stretch session before heading out to prune the roses. 👥 Who It’s For (And Who It’s Not) This one’s gold for folks who want seated yoga exercises for elderly beginners or anyone looking for beginner yoga programs created for people over 50 with no drama. It’s ideal if you’re into beginner-friendly yoga classes for older women, seniors recovering from minor aches, or just need mobility-boosting exercises for older adults that don’t require a yoga mat or Lycra. Skip it if you're already in advanced yoga classes or want something intense. This is about feeling better, not sweating buckets. And yes, it’s helpful for men too. The instructions are neutral, clear, and genuinely inclusive — no judgment, no incense. 🌟 What Makes It Special This bundle works because it blends clarity with calm. You get simple yoga exercises seniors can do at home, backed by stretching exercises ideal for people over 60 that actually feel good. It also covers low-impact workout routines for seniors so there's zero intimidation, and none of those impossible poses that feel like they were made for Gumby. The breathing exercises suitable for seniors bring a sense of calm — perfect after a long day or a restless night. It’s low-key wellness that fits into your life, not the other way around. The yoga stretches designed for seniors with limited mobility allow you to improve slowly without aggravating pain. That’s a huge win in my book. Even better? These are top yoga exercises recommended for seniors that target the hips, shoulders, and spine — those classic tension zones. ✅ Pros and 👎 Cons Pros 🟢 Designed for home use — The program works beautifully with any stable chair, making it great for an at-home yoga plan for older adults. 🟢 Printable and visual options — You get printable yoga poses that seniors can follow easily and flashcards that are simple and well-organized. 🟢 Built-in progression — The calendar walks you through simple seated yoga routines for beginners over 50, so you improve without pushing too hard. 🟢 Targets pain relief — Includes yoga that helps with arthritis and joint pain in seniors, which Sandra loved for her knees and lower back.

You also get a 60-day refund policy if it doesn’t suit you.

Avoid shady marketplaces or third-party copies — they’re incomplete, and the honest reviews of the Chair Yoga Bundle are tied to the official version. 📌 Desk-Friendly Option? Some folks asked if these are desk-friendly yoga poses for elderly individuals. Short answer: Not really. You need a bit more lateral space than your office chair gives. But most kitchen chairs are fine. ❓ FAQ 1. Is this good for arthritis or back pain? Yes. The gentle yoga options to reduce joint pain and stiffness were one of the most helpful parts for Sandra. 2. Can I follow the routines without a computer? Yes. The printable guide to chair yoga for seniors and flashcards make it very low-tech friendly. 3. Is it good for total beginners? Absolutely.

If you’re looking for a gentle, low-impact way to move that’s perfect for older adults, a quick 5-minute chair-yoga session can be a game-changer. ✅ What’s great about it Accessible for almost anyone: no floor work needed, just seated in a chair. Helps with posture and stiffness: e.g., seated cat-cow, side stretches, forward folds help loosen the spine and hips. Improves circulation, boosts mood and energy, and gives a quick “movement break” that fits into busy or limited-mobility routines. Safe for seniors when done carefully: the seated position reduces fall risk, and the movements can be adapted. 📋 Good starting list for a 5-minute sequence From the article’s suggestions: Seated Mountain Pose (1 min): Sit tall, feet flat, arms overhead or hands at heart center — builds posture awareness. Neck Rolls (30 sec): Slow, controlled neck movements to release tension. Shoulder Circles (30 sec): Mobilise shoulders and upper back. Seated Cat-Cow (1 min): Inhale arch, exhale round — helps spine mobility. Seated Forward Fold (approx 40-60 sec): Hinge at hips, drop forward gently. Seated Twist (30 sec per side): Gentle twist while seated to maintain spinal rotation. Optional closing “centering” or breath-work: Sit quietly for a minute, breathe deeply, feel the body. ❔❔ Have you found it easier to commit to very short routines (5 min) than longer sessions — why or why not? https://preview.redd.it/igobvm9xipxf1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=af5cc0282626c93a6381521f3592a2e96bdbb445 submitted by /u/bettermetips to u/bettermetips [link] [comments]

Hey guys, I just wanted to share something that’s really helped my grandma. She’s 63 and has had bad back pain for years. She couldn’t sleep well, and some days just getting out of bed was a struggle.A little while ago, I persuaded her to try chair yoga. I found an online community, and she started taking classes three times a week. At first, she was skeptical and thought it was all about floor poses, but it turns out it’s just gentle stretches she could do sitting in a chair. After a month, I found an app with a chair yoga program and installed it on her phone, so now she can do it anywhere. After about two months of doing it, her back pain has gone down, she’s sleeping better, and she’s moving around more easily. Plus, she doesn’t have to worry about hurting herself since it’s all done from a chair. submitted by /u/Ok-Somewhere4687 to r/yoga [link] [comments]

Hello, I am seeking input regarding teaching a yoga class to seniors. Here is the sequence I have so far - mountain pose, cat/cow (standing), Salutations, chair, pigeon, tree, warrior two, side angle, triangle, forward fold, modified down dog, high lunge, and warrior 3 followed by horse stance. Any ideas/suggestions on what I may be able to add? Chairs will be available to assist with balance. submitted by /u/Playful_Blood3525 to r/YogaTeachers [link] [comments]

I am NOT the Original Poster. That is u/LadySavings. She posted in r/AITAH. This is an update to my previous BORU post here. The newest update will be marked with ***** Trigger Warning: infidelity; Andrew Tater Tot idiocy Mood Spoiler: OOP is going to be ok Original Post: July 3, 2023 Husband (33M) and (33f) have been married for 10 years, together since college. Since starting out we have made financial security a priority and have been able to achieve that, albeit with some good luck along the way. We both have good jobs (paying close to 200K each). Student loans were paid off within a few years (both went to state schools with some scholarships so didn't have a lot of debt to begin with), we live in a house I inherited from my grandmother (no mortgage), and don't have any credit card debt. We max out our 401(k)s and currently have 18 months of expenses in our emergency fund and are still adding to it. Our cars are both paid off and should be good for another 5+ years and we don't have any credit card debt. We manage our finances in a hybrid manner - joint accounts for bills and savings, and separate accounts for our "fun" money (we each get a pretty generous monthly allotment). The fun money is strictly for our individual expenses (hobbies, clothes, outings with friends, etc.) and NOT for things like date nights, vacations, or larger joint purchases like household appliances and repairs which come out of our joint account. We also agreed that if either of us gets any bonuses (or has any side hustle income) those will go into our individual fun money accounts, unless the funds are needed for a larger expense such as a major home repair. In terms of the "fun" money, my husband is much more of a spender than I am due to expensive hobbies (in particular golf and collecting sports memorabilia, and he's also more into designer clothes), which is fine - it's his fun money! On the other hand, my hobbies are a lot less expensive (running/working out, reading, baking). In general I'm more introverted and a great time for me is tea with a friend at one of our homes, with homemade pastries. I have also been getting back into gaming lately after setting it aside for much of the past decade while building my career. After realizing I had more than enough in my fun money account, I decided to overhaul my gaming setup and got myself a new PC, desk and gaming chair (total cost of about $5,000). However, upon hearing about the purchase, my husband is furious. He says he had no idea I had saved so much money and that I should have consulted him before spending $5K. I asked what difference it made if it was my own accrued fun money and not our joint funds, and he insisted that my accumulating this amount, without telling him, was a form of financial infidelity. He says he lost trust in me and doesn't know what else I might be hiding. He is demanding that I return the items I purchased and deposit most of the funds to our joint account. He wants to make a new rule that fun money accounts can't accumulate more than $2K and that any excess goes back to the joint account (a rule that would obviously favor him as a person who spends most of his allotment each month instead of saving up for anything bigger). I feel like I am being punished for being more of a day-to-day saver than spender. It wouldn't occur to me to demand to know how much my husband has in his fun money account or to try to micromanage what he spends it on. I wasn't hiding anything deliberately - he never asked about it until after I made the purchases. Still, maybe I should have been more transparent about my plans. So AITAH? Miscellaneous Info: Husband and I each have our own office/hobby room in the house so it's not like the gaming setup was going in a space he uses. I don't usually game when my husband is home unless he's already busy doing something else - my biggest block of gaming time is typically when he's off playing golf. Also, I run 40-50 miles a week so it's not like I am generally sedentary. I can't think of a good reason why he would object to me gaming or having a nice gaming setup in my own space in the house. Relevant Comments: "I actually had/have a lot more than $5K saved! We have had this arrangement for a few years and I typically only spend about $500 of my allotted $1500/month. Maybe a bit more some months if I need to replace my running shoes, buy other clothes, or have any outings with friends planned like concerts, but in that range." Girl, what does he actually contribute to your household? "Although our incomes are about equal, I work shorter hours at home (with occasional in-office days or business travel) and he works long hours in the office, plus an hour of commuting time each way. Perhaps because I'm home all the time, having a very tidy home and fresh-cooked meals is a priority for me! I primarily do those things for me and not for him even though he benefits as well. I'd still have to cook and clean if I were living in the house by myself, unless I wanted to hire someone to do those things (but I don't as I genuinely enjoy cooking and housework). We do have breakfast together most days unless he has to leave early, dinner together most days, and weekend date/activity time in addition to pursuing our own hobbies. He's smart, hilarious and a delightful companion (at least other than this latest issue). I realize I haven't emphasized the positive in this thread (because I've been pretty pissed, ha) but other than this he has been a great partner and husband." People are confused on how much money they have, so OOP elaborates: "Together we have joint cash savings of 250K, plus retirement savings approaching the 7-figure mark." Could he be hiding a debt/gambling addiction? "I manage all our bank accounts and check them daily and also handle all the bill pay. Nothing suspicious so far! He admits he's not great with money and would spend more without a budget." In AITAH there is no overall "vote" indicating if OOP is the asshole, but the majority of the comments indicated NTA Update Post: July 11, 2023 (8 days later) Here's the TL;DR: Husband and I (33M/33F) are fairly high income earners (about 200K/year each), own our home free and clear, no other debts of any kind - we save close to half of our income and most finances are joint but we allocate $1500/month each (plus any extra income such as from bonuses or side hustles) for "fun money" (for hobbies, luxury goods, outings with our own friends that aren't together, etc.). Husband tends to spend his fun money month to month due to his expensive hobbies (primarily golf) while I tend to save the majority of mine because my interests (such as running and baking) are less expensive. I have been getting back into gaming lately, though, and having saved up more than enough of my fun money, I spent $5K on a new gaming rig and really nice desk and chair. Husband blew a gasket and accused me of "financial infidelity" even though I was operating within what I thought were our agreed-upon rules by spending my own allocated fun money on hobby stuff. Anyway, here is the update: My husband finally calmed down enough to have a conversation with me. As many others who provided comments suggested, it wasn't really about the money, but a window into larger issues in our relationship. Essentially, my husband has been feeling increasingly unhappy with me for a while, for the following reasons: In general, he feels that he's a lot more committed to his career development than I am to mine. It's true that although we currently have about the same income, the ceiling for his field (finance) is a lot higher than the one for mine (tech/software dev). He's currently in an executive training program and I'm decidedly not. He's feeling resentful that he he's having to work long hours in a high-pressure environment, while I get to work primarily at home doing something that is fun and fairly easy for me and I'm not stretching myself to do more. He's concerned that over time these resentments are going to build, and that I'm not going to end up pulling my weight financially if he takes huge leaps in his career and I don't. He remarked that, since getting back into gaming a few months ago, I have been putting a bit less effort into cooking (I do nearly all the cooking because I work at home and have an easier schedule). It's true that I have been fixing simpler meals (things like grilled chicken salads, or chili with cornbread) instead of elaborate meals with fussier foods and several sides. He has also noticed that I haven't been doing the elaborate table settings I used to (with flowers on the table, fancy placemats, etc.) - honestly I didn't realize he noticed or cared about this, but apparently he does. Acts of service are one of his main love languages so overall he's feeling a little neglected because of this. He also feels I'm not putting enough effort into my appearance. Not in terms of weight/body (I'm a long-distance runner and slim) but in terms of things like clothes, hair, etc. It's true that I've never paid much attention to these things - given that I work at home in tech the standard for appearances is extremely low and I far exceed that. I tend to buy simple, practical clothes at places like Target and Walmart, don't wear much makeup and keep my hair in a simple ponytail. I do glam up a lot more for date nights and other dressy occasions, but most days he comes home from work to find me in a T-shirt and yoga pants with no makeup, and he wants me to make more of an effort. The bottom line is that because of all these things, he's starting to notice other women. Says he hasn't cheated, he's just noticing other people because he's regularly disappointed in me. In particular, given that he works in finance there are a good number of very career-oriented, Type-A women who manage to have fantastic bodies, be effortlessly polished and glam, and have more interesting hobbies. He also says he feels horrible about all this because he knows I am a good person and that he's being judgmental - that it's not so much I've changed as that his own goals and expectations have changed in the past couple years. The "financial infidelity" part came into it because he feels I'm not really investing in myself and our relationship - thus cheating on our future, in a sense. He also says he loves me enough to be honest (I do believe he isn't trying to be hurtful, I really had to drag this all this out of him). That he doesn't want us to drift apart further, that he doesn't want to be angry and resentful, and he knows he is asking for a lot. I know that many on this sub might say I should just tell him to take a hike and call my lawyer, but we've been married for 10 years, have invested a lot in the relationship, and I want to see if the marriage can be saved. So, a couple things. First, we did make an appointment with a marriage counselor and start next week. Also, I'm going to try to do at least some of the above. I'm not sure about making myself be more professionally ambitious when I'm already happy with my work-life balance and we're already financially very comfortable, but I can at least try doing the other things (return to spending more time on cooking and decor, and fix myself up a bit when he's on his way home from work) now that I know they are important to him. I also know that in the end, I may feel like I am just tiptoeing around and contorting myself to please him, but it won't cost me much (certainly much less than a divorce!) to try for a month or two and then see how we both feel. And I know I would always regret it if I didn't try. So, maybe not the update that you were expecting or hoping for, but that's where things are. And if folks continue to be interested, I can update further once we have started marriage counseling and once I can feel out how the changes are going. EDIT: I need to call it a night but once again thank you to everyone for your responses. They were really eye-opening and helped me to see that I do deserve better than the way I am being treated, and that the expectations my husband is laying out for me are unfair and unrealistic, especially as he isn't doing anything at all to make it easier for me to meet them or to show me he appreciates my efforts and everything I do bring to the table. I am indeed conditioned to be very people-pleasing and that is impacting what I think is reasonable here. I have a lot to think about, such as - what do I *really* want here? What is going to make me happy, especially if I have to keep making myself smaller (metaphorically speaking) and contorting myself to please my husband? Do I really want to be in a marriage under those conditions? I think I'm really selling myself short if I just agree to most of what he demands. Still going to go to the marriage counseling appointment but I think I will wait to make any other changes until we can at least get some professional input. Additional Edit: To clarify, my typical at-home attire/look that he has been complaining about looks something like this: https://www.target.com/p/women-s-seamless-baby-t-shirt-joylab/-/A-87399931?preselect=87390237#lnk=sametab (This is NOT me but a similar look - fitted short-sleeved shirt, yoga pants, hair in a ponytail. Something that looks casual but neat. I am NOT wearing sloppy, baggy, sweatpants and oversized T-shirts!) Relevant Comments: Many of OOP's comments (before her edit) are her explaining why she will do what her husband has 'requested.' Here is an example: "Thanks! The things I am willing to do at the moment won't take very much in terms of time, and if they genuinely make him feel more appreciated and cared for they will absolutely be worth it. I want to show my husband that I am hearing him and taking his concerns and feelings seriously enough to at least *try* to make an effort in what he asked. If it doesn't work it doesn't and we can still separate a couple or few months down the road, but I would definitely regret not even trying." More in depth of their relationship/what she does/what he feels (apparently): "To answer your questions, yes, we each currently make about $200K, so $400K between the two of us. And yes, his concern is that he's going to get promoted to a much higher salary executive position (he's currently being mentored/trained for such a position, which will pay $500K+, and is due to be promoted in the next couple years if all goes well with the mentoring program) and I'll fall behind in earnings. Granted, we don't need the money for anything as we don't have debt of any kind, don't have and aren't planning on having kids, and already have close to $1 million in retirement savings with 30+ years left to work. But he's feeling like I'm going to be somehow riding his coattails? Taking advantage of him? Coasting while he just works harder and harder with longer and longer hours? All of the above I suppose. In terms of meals, yes, I do all the prep, cooking, tablesetting, and cleanup. I do actually really enjoy it and part of it is self-care for me, not just taking care of him. After all, I get to eat the food too! And as I work at home I usually make enough that I can have food for lunch the next day too. I know this doesn't seem fair and that others probably think he should contribute more - but it really doesn't bother me at all, as long as he does enjoy and appreciate it. In terms of work, I'm usually done by 5-6 pm and these days he doesn't get home until about 9 pm. So I wouldn't have to wear makeup and dressy clothes for work, I could just quickly change and fix my hair and makeup when he's on his way home. I don't think the clothes necessarily need to be designer - I can buy blouses/skirts and dresses at Target just as well as t-shirts and yoga pants. Or shop thrift stores or department store sales. I do agree that the women he is comparing me to probably don't wear fancy clothes and makeup at home! He's just seeing them in professional settings that require formal business dress. Anyway, I appreciate you saying I haven't done anything wrong here." There is a difference between a preference and a boundary: "It's true that he did use the word "boundary" in our conversation where he revealed his unhappiness with me. (As in, "I have realized it's a boundary for me to be able to come home to a nicely-dressed wife who has prepared a thoughtful meal.") And yes, I do realize that completely misuses the word "boundary."" Again, I am NOT the Original Poster. Please do not comment on the Original Posts as it is considered brigading. Update Post: July 18, 2023 (This came out a few hours after I posted the original BORU, so I edited into that post.) Hi All...so I have an additional (and probably not very surprising) update to my saga. First post was here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/14pynpt/aitah_husband_accused_me_of_financial_infidelity/ (husband was furious that I spent $5K on a gaming computer, desk and chair even though we are high income earners in a great financial position and I used my own allotment of "fun money" within our established rules) Second post was here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/14x9o69/update_husband_accused_me_of_financial_infidelity/ (husband told me he was actually upset that he feels I'm not professionally ambitious enough because I'm not on the "executive" track like he is, and that (despite my working full-time) he wanted me to cook fancier meals, set the table in a more elegant way, and dress up more for dinner - yes, like a 1950s housewife) So, the more I thought about it, the more his requests - demands, really - were sitting poorly with me. I decided to try a little experiment over the weekend to see what would happen if I tried to meet some of his demands. NOT because I actually thought they were reasonable, but because I increasingly had the sense that the goalposts would just keep moving and that I was playing a losing game. So, Saturday morning, I went to the salon for a glow-up (haircut, fresh highlights, mani/pedi) then went to the farmer's market to pick up fresh flowers for our table and assorted other gourmet ingredients. Saturday is usually our date night out but I suggested we stay in so I could make us a special dinner, steakhouse style (lobster bisque, bread basket with several types of rolls/savory muffins made from scratch, crab-stuffed mushrooms, filet mignon, au gratin potatoes, white chocolate mousse topped with raspberries). I wore a lavender (his favorite color on me) sheath dress and high heels and fully done hair and makeup. For all that I got a lukewarm "thanks, it was tasty" and a kiss on the cheek. Of course I did all the serving and cleanup. Sunday we usually go out but he suggested I make us brunch at home. So I made French-press coffee, mimosas with fresh-squeezed orange juice, Belgian waffles with a bananas Foster topping, eggs scrambled with parmesan and fresh herbs from our garden, roasted fingerling potatoes, and maple-glazed bacon. I wore a blue sleeveless sundress, wedge sandals, again did my hair and makeup. Again I got a "thanks, it's good" and no help with serving or cleanup. Afterwards I asked if this is what he had in mind when he critiqued me before. He said that it was a start, but that I was "acting very entitled for wanting credit for basic adulting." He then dropped a bomb that he was being so hard on me because he had realized lately I had a lot to make up for due to my being a "low-value woman." I asked what on earth he meant by that and he said it was because I wasn't a virgin when we met. WHAT?!?! Keep in mind we started dating at 21, neither of us claimed to be virgins or stated that as an expectation. Except for very religious people (neither of us is) I don't think most 21-year-old college students are virgins. I was upfront with him then that I'd had two previous partners, my high school boyfriend (we went our separate ways when we went to different colleges in different parts of the country) and another boyfriend I'd had my first year of college. And that's it, both committed relationships and nothing casual. He then went on to say that because of my low value, I was going to need to be making it up to him for the rest of my life. That I didn't deserve monogamy or equal treatment and that I was lucky that anyone at all wanted to marry me. And - that he's "connected" with someone from work so if I wanted to keep him I'd better step up. I told him it didn't sound like there was anything to keep if he no longer loved me (or even liked or respected me). Told him to leave and he said he would gladly go to his girlfriend's place. I know SO many people here insisted he was having an affair and I just didn't want to see it, that his "complaints" were really all part of a campaign to distance himself from me. I feel SO foolish for just thinking he was going through a stressful time at work or that he genuinely wanted to work on our marriage. Anyway I have taken the week off from work to get my head together. Have an appointment with a lawyer tomorrow. Canceled the marriage counseling appointment but got a referral to an individual therapist who can do an intake session with me later in the week. He (and the girlfriend apparently) are coming this evening to get more of his clothes and things so I have to brace myself for that. Also, please be assured I do NOT think I am low-value in any way. I let my husband make me think less of myself on some levels for a short time but now I truly see it was a "him" problem. Obviously we don't share the same goals and values and he has become someone I don't recognize. I know the divorce won't be fun or easy, but I will be okay. Thank you all for helping me see that I was being played before I wasted too much more time in a marriage that was already over. Relevant Comments: One last gem from the 'husband':Yes, it seems like he fell down a toxic masculinity hole at some point fairly recently. Retroactively punishing me for not being a virgin at the outset, after a 12-year relationship including 10 years of marriage, is just completely over the top. I even said, "So this person you connected with at work, is actually a virgin?" "Well, she WAS," he said, with a smirk. (So, virgin or not, someone who would sleep with a married colleague is higher-value than me? Unless he lied about his marital status/situation which I wouldn't put past him.)" "Yes, he admitted he has been having an affair for several months. He kept trying to say that "it doesn't really count as cheating" because I'm low-value so the standards are different." A great commenting exchange here: Commenter: A spouse who is having an affair starts criticizing aspects of the betrayed spouse's appearance, taste, upbringing, values, and background that were never an issue before he/she chose to stray as (in their warped perception) justification for cheating. I will bet you dollars to half moons (a bakery treat from my childhood home) that OOP's non-virginity was not a true problem for her STBX or he never would have married her. He simply latched onto it as rationalization for his outrageous demands (a deflection from his infidelity) because it's something that she cannot change. I would say that HE is the low value partner. OOP: Yes, this completely makes sense now. Initially he started criticizing things that had never been an issue before but that would hurt my feelings, but ultimately they were things I could change if I wanted to (my appearance, cooking/housekeeping effort, and even my career aspirations). When he found I *did* make a quick effort to change some of those things (appearance, cooking and housekeeping) he moved to criticizing something I cannot ever change, my sexual history, something he could hold over me forever if I stayed in the relationship. It's very clear now and scary how he was able to erode my self-esteem and confidence to the point that I actually believed a lot of his BS until he took it too far. ******** Newest Update: July 20, 2023 (17 days from OG post)*******\* Hi All - I wasn't going to post another update (at least not this soon), but have gotten dozens of DMs/messages asking if I am okay and how things are going - so this is specifically in response to those who were checking in on me. To recap my story, I first posted a couple weeks ago that my husband accused me of financial infidelity after I spent $5K of my own "fun money" allotment on a gaming computer, desk and chair, even though my spending was within our agreed-upon rules; he subsequently "admitted" that he wasn't really upset about the gaming setup, but about what he perceived as a lack of professional ambition (I'm a senior software dev and we make the same salary at the moment), plus he wanted me to cook more elaborate meals, put more effort into home decor, and dress up more for him. Finally, about a week later he accused me of being "low value" due to not being a virgin when we met (at age 21 - neither was he - and he never once previously criticized that in our 12 years together) and told me he was having an affair with a younger coworker who had been a virgin (gross, I know). Then he moved out (and in with her). Folks have been asking me this week how things went with him picking up his stuff, meeting with my lawyer, etc. so wanted to share those updates for anyone interested. So, he was supposed to come get his stuff on Tuesday evening, a couple days ago, but told me at the last minute he couldn't because "Amy" (his girlfriend) wasn't feeling well. Some people called in the comments, but yes, she's pregnant apparently. He told me this on text so I have proof of the affair in writing now, it's not just his word against mine. Anyway I didn't want him to keep jerking me around on the schedule, for whatever reason, so I told him I'd pack his stuff for him and arrange for movers. I think it's better that way, I really didn't want him/them in the house. I already had arranged for a friend to come over on Tuesday when he and Amy were supposed to come by so the two of us spent the evening packing his clothes and other personal effects. The movers came yesterday and got the boxes and the furniture items he wanted. He didn't want much, just the stuff from his home office and his dresser, as apparently Amy's apartment is small. I provided a detailed inventory and photos of everything, which he approved, so he can't say that I broke or otherwise ruined his stuff. After that yesterday I went to the clinic to get STD tests (won't have the results for a week or so, but thankfully I haven't had any symptoms) and met with my lawyer, who said I had a good case for grounds of adultery and mental cruelty if I want/need to go that route (at a minimum it's leverage to get him to settle quickly and quietly). Also locked down all the finances within the parameters provided by the lawyer so that he can't empty our joint funds or take anything that belongs to me, changed account beneficiaries and all that fun stuff. Changed the locks to the house too. I decided to take the advice of some of the commenters and am getting rid of the bed and other bedroom furniture I shared with him (I'm donating it, someone is coming this afternoon to haul it all off) and am going to completely redecorate the bedroom to my own taste (that will take a bit, staying in one of the guest rooms in the meantime). I'm also taking a spa weekend away, leaving tomorrow morning and back Sunday night, just to get a change of scenery before I have to go back to work next week. And yes, even after buying the gaming setup, I have plenty of "fun money" left in my account to afford my lawyer's retainer and redoing the bedroom as well as my getaway, with plenty left over - here's to frugality when it counts! Those are the main updates for the moment. I'm doing better than expected, I think, and realizing more day by day that it really wasn't a good marriage, at least not for the last couple years when he started expecting me to do everything around the house, and all the other emotional labor of running our lives outside of work, with no help and little to no gratitude. Amy sure is going to have her hands full. EDIT: Once again, I cannot thank everyone here enough! I need to get ready for my spa weekend away :) so apologies if advance if I have not responded to your comment or DM, but I am really grateful for all the support and encouragement. Hopefully there won't be any more notable updates for a while - I really just want a smooth and easy divorce and to get on with my life - so please keep your fingers crossed for me! Relevant Comments: The incoming child: "Also, he was hard-core childfree before (I didn't want kids either, but he was especially militant about it). I mean, maybe he changed his mind, but it doesn't seem like this was exactly a planned pregnancy. Plus, he can't even be bothered to put his own laundry in the hamper or put a dish in the dishwasher - how is he going to deal with an infant? Anyway, not really my problem and I guess he'll figure it out (or not)." Is he her superior at work? "My understanding is that that they are peers (he isn't her boss) - I don't think it is against the rules for coworkers of the same level to date. At least not as some of our (well, his, really) friends met at work there and it wasn't an issue. So for that reason I think I'll stay out of it, especially as I do want him to stay gainfully employed until the divorce is completely final. Still, I agree it's awfully foolish to have an affair at work that results in a pregnancy while one of the people is still married. I mean, you can't hide that messiness, it's going to be physically obvious." Further info on that: "Right, it's probably going to cause some drama at the office but isn't fireable unless they do something even more foolish like getting caught in the act at work. (As far as I know nothing like that happened, when he was disclosing the affair the other day he said that he often went to her place after work when he was supposedly working late, and sometimes on Saturdays instead of playing golf.)" How is a 24 year old making the same amount of money as your ex? "They are both in an executive training program for fairly recent MBA graduates. Amy is apparently some sort of prodigy who got hers at 21. My STBX started out in supply chain management, then the company paid for his MBA which he finished a couple years ago, and after that he moved to the finance side and was accepted into the training program earlier this year." "She's 24, apparently graduated from college at 18 and got her MBA at 21. And he just got his MBA a couple years ago, was on a different business operations track before switching to finance." submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]
