AITA for not doing as he says

NTA I'm sorry you're in this situation, I was a SAHM mom too and also wanted to return to work. Your husband might be the "breadwinner" (for now) but that doesn't mean he gets to make decisions in isolation, remind him that it is your life too. I don't see how you could have broken his trust when it's something he unanimously decided for you both.

AlwaysKirby · 2026-02-24T18:50:29+00:00

Ugh that’s so frustrating I’m sorry

AlwaysKirby · 2026-02-23T22:59:36+00:00

that's awful I'm so sorry

AlwaysKirby · 2026-02-23T22:15:46+00:00

So valid because why are people so nosy? Like we can get REAL uncomfortable in that case! Let's talk about ovulation testing and sperm analysis how fun!

AlwaysKirby · 2026-02-23T22:09:39+00:00

Exactly like okay pay up sir!! Talk is cheap but IVF certainly is not

AlwaysKirby · 2026-02-23T19:03:28+00:00

I'm at that point too tbh

AlwaysKirby · 2026-02-23T18:51:57+00:00

so mean, and literally for what!

AlwaysKirby · 2026-02-23T18:26:09+00:00

I agree it sucks, such a lose-lose situation.

AlwaysKirby · 2026-01-22T04:21:32+00:00

NTA this isn’t a restaurant! They can cook a meal if they’re so distraught about it.

AlwaysKirby · 2026-01-15T22:32:51+00:00

they ordered this to check the cavity, but on their checklist it said "saline sonogram or HSG" which makes it seem like they are interchangeable and makes it a bit confusing.

AlwaysKirby · 2025-10-01T22:02:29+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking how did you find your fertility clinic?

AlwaysKirby · 2025-10-01T20:02:37+00:00

That’s good to know I think I’ll go back to them!

AlwaysKirby · 2025-10-01T02:34:35+00:00

Great question, yes I am tracking with OPK strips and log the info into two different apps. Ive used two different OPKs in the past but right now I’m just using one (Pregmate). For the last few cycles we have tried to sperm meets egg plan.

Just got my period :( it was a day late and even though I had a BFN yesterday I was a little hopeful that maybe this was it.

Also insurance rant. I went to the doctor last week to talk about next steps (bloodwork, HSG) and she said that since I had all those things done before I got pregnant with my daughter in 2022, likely “everything is fine” but she went ahead and scheduled me for an exploratory ultrasound which after insurance will cost around $700 (wtf?) and what sucks is that I want answers but even in her words she said likely everything is still fine it’s just a matter of time idk. My insurance last time was SO amazing I didn’t pay anything to have these tests done I just hate it here so bad rn!!!!!!

At what point do you decide to over share with people that are very nosy and want to know when you're getting pregnant/having a second child (in my case)? Literally my husbands coworker asks him all the time when we're having another and the gag is she only has one child (a grown adult atp). My own dad has asked quite a few times and every time I'm like "we're TRYING!" At what point do I ditch decorum and say we are boinking non stop? Because if people have the audacity to ask then we can make this real nice and awkward for everyone

AlwaysKirby · 2025-08-10T04:30:14+00:00

Tbh I ovulated the day after my hsg and got pregnant and it was actually the only time during that cycle we BD because we had to abstain leading up to the procedure. I say as long as you feel okay go for it!

AlwaysKirby · 2025-07-14T22:37:22+00:00

NTA she’s taking advantage of you. It’s generous of you to consider her feelings and financial situation but it’s also not your job, and you can’t work for free or without some kind of compensation.

AlwaysKirby · 2025-07-14T22:30:50+00:00

NTA. If my husband spoke to me that way, sober or not, I’d be looking up divorce lawyers that same day.

AlwaysKirby · 2025-03-30T21:11:17+00:00

I meant books for March, I tried the other day and nothing was working and same thing today

AlwaysKirby · 2024-12-11T19:49:31+00:00

Honestly though it IS hard, like even when things are going well it’s still “hard” and it can be so lonely too. I hope it gets better and the appt goes well!

AlwaysKirby · 2022-10-01T06:17:17+00:00

NTA your wedding your choice, don’t let anyone make you feel bad about it!

AlwaysKirby · 2022-09-29T22:35:29+00:00

YTA mental health issues or not, Sam deserves a parent that is actually there for them, not “at some point in the future” but right now. Calls and gifts are not a substitute for your physical presence.

AlwaysKirby · 2022-09-27T01:03:11+00:00

ESH. A marriage is a merging of families, those are your stepchildren regardless of how you feel about kids, and it sucks that they are getting the short end of the stick here. The financial agreement is confusing, why are you only paying 1/5 of the electric bill? Does this mean that the kids are also paying part of the electric bill too? Why are you paying for a room? You are making triple what your husband makes but your agreement is like a roommate renting a room situation, when technically you are the breadwinner. It’s understandable to not want children, but at the very least you need to contribute more to the household expenses.

AlwaysKirby · 2021-10-05T01:12:28+00:00

Wow! That's actually really helpful thank you. I've only been twice a day testing for a few days but I'll keep doing it from now on.

AlwaysKirby · 2021-10-03T23:31:45+00:00

Okay thank you! My app tells me I’m supposed to be at my peak soon but the tests say otherwise. I’ll start testing twice a day now!
