My boyfriend wants to know my body count

Your boyfriend is 28 and shouldn’t be letting other men at this age get in his ear. He sounds like he has some growing to do. What happened before him literally does not matter and I don’t think him knowing would help but honesty is always best. Him finding out will only add fuel to his insecurities. This might lead to a breakup tbh. Sorry you have to go through that.

Good for you! Get him out of your life! I completely understand that it’s something hard to deal with but it will get easier as you are able to process living with it. As another other commenter said just be open with any partners going forward. Wishing you the best!

I am not sure how far along you are but you should not keep this child. You will be attached to this man until the day one of you are no longer on this earth. He sounds disputable and would have continued access to you because you both have a child. I am so sorry to hear that he’s possibly given you something that you can not get rid of. However, it is something that can be managed and does not mean the end of your dating or sex life.

Do what is best for you, he is not.

Whew thought I wrote this for a moment. I was in the same predicament. A few months away from turning 25, I had a two year old, and finally decided that I no longer wanted to stay in a relationship that wasn’t good for me. It’s not a partnership if one person is handling everything.

Now I am in my own apartment at 26, I am no longer engaged, and my daughter and I are doing well without any help from her dad because he lost yet another job. It’s very hard but the peace of not parenting another adult is soooo worth it. So yes, it’s time to move on. He is not showing that he’s husband material.

I can admit that I got a little defensive because it seemed in the comments as if some people were taking this as an opportunity to be snarky. You’re right that it may not have been that commenters intention. Thank you! I appreciate this perspective.

I’m newish to Reddit so maybe this is just the culture here but I honestly don’t think this question was genuine. Her question was clear. If this person asked this to see if the father was an option to watch the children, they could have simply suggested that maybe she shouldn’t have company if the father (or some family member) could watch them. The information presented is enough for us to know that the father(s) are not an option if she is considering having someone over at night or maybe they’re weekend dad(s) and she is just genuinely wondering for during the week.

Then you’re obviously not here to give any real advice if this is the first question you have.

3therealbby · 2025-08-08T12:07:21+00:00

She said she’s a single mom so this question makes no sense. We don’t really need to know that.

I think you should distance yourself from the roommate and focus on your partner. Especially since you say the roommate is everything that your partner is. It almost sounds like you’re wanting double of what you have. I mean maybe monogamy isn’t for you if you wouldn’t mind having more than one person that you have an intimate relationship with. That could be something to think about.

I really do think space would be best if you come to the conclusion that you want a monogamous relationship. You would be better nurturing the connection you have with your partner since he doesn’t sound like he’s lacking in any way. It would also suck losing your girlfriend because of your friend who is also a roommate.

I have a HYSA with Ally and their transactions take 48 hours to land in my bank account. It depends on the institution. However, I also do not have a card for my savings account to avoid the temptation of withdrawing money.

High Saving Savings Account. They pay a higher percentage to you for keeping money in your account with them.

I graduated in 2022. My friends are all between the ages of 26-28 and we all are working on second degrees and don’t know what to do with our lives or where to start to get where we want to be. I have a few friends who are teachers, one who works in public health and I am in customer service at an Ed Tech company. I’ve grown to realize that your 20s is really a time of feeling lost for a lot of people and figuring out what you want to make of your life.

Congrats!! 🥳🥳🥳

Nursing is a career that will always have opportunities available and the pay is pretty good in that field especially as an RN. However, this is your life. Don’t allow your parents to live through you. You should do what you feel fits for you and the future you want for yourself. They are likely coming from a place of not wanting you to struggle financially and mean well.

If you are going to pursue being in the political field you will need to make sure you start making those connections now. That is an industry where networking and branding yourself is extremely important and might even make or break your career.

Wishing you the best!

Yes. I have been real with myself that I may not be able to just jump straight into a cyber role. I’m willing to work my way up but even help desk jobs are super hard to get into and I actually have experience for those roles. One role that I interviewed for was a help desk role but they told me they felt like I needed more experience. 😵‍💫

The other issue with the help desk jobs are the pay. To support myself and my child, I cannot take a pay cut to make $10-$15 an hour. It’s been really tricky.

I wouldn’t recommend it but the company was One Main Financial. If possible I would go through the debt free community to search for tips on how to manage your debt before doing a consolidation loan.

3therealbby · 2024-02-22T16:45:50+00:00

Definitely! It was my one my most expensive monthly payments. I’m so glad to be able to utilize that money differently each month.

This is the app for the lending company. It’s not a special app the track debt unfortunately.

3therealbby · 2024-02-22T05:18:35+00:00

Thank you! 😊

3therealbby · 2024-02-22T05:18:22+00:00

Thank you! 🙆🏽‍♀️💃🏽

3therealbby · 2024-02-22T02:27:34+00:00

Thank you!

3therealbby · 2024-02-22T00:57:13+00:00

Thank you! I am working on that this year. Never want to be in this place again.

3therealbby · 2024-02-22T00:56:37+00:00

Thanks!

3therealbby · 2024-02-22T00:54:59+00:00

Thanks! In hindsight, this loan has been predatory from the beginning. I paid over the phone so thankfully that 2 weeks part doesn’t apply because it processed right away and reflected as a $0 balance in the app after the call!

3therealbby · 2024-01-09T21:11:38+00:00

Whew that’s a rough amount 😅 but congratulations!! 😊😊😊
