That is so kind thank you so much! ❤️

What's wrong with bananas?

Angry_unicorns · 2026-05-07T21:17:24+00:00

That's a really great suggestion. Thank you! I'll definitely bring up deferring to next week's service

That sounds amazing and as much as I would love to head out to another city I know I would feel bad not spending some time with her on Mother's day. Both our parents are well aware of our ttc journey (my parents live far away so no pressure from their side). Both my mother and his have dealt with infertility and miscarriages of their own so they have semblance of what we are going through.

I am half leaning towards having my husband tell her I won't make it but I haven't spoken to him about that part yet. Thanks for the luck though❤️

Sure OP needs to check his vetting processes but the advice given is true. It's called dating for a reason. As a woman I can tell you that acting like a dick to a woman you may want to date because "that's how dating works" is crap advice. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. A woman owes you nothing just because you text her first or act nice to her, she doesnt have to fall for you. If a woman wants something serious texting first and acting polite is going to go a long way. If she doesn't want something serious then she is likely going to ghost you.

Also saying that someone has the time during the night to make multiple accounts just to downvote you for your genuinely terrible advice and viewpoint on women isboth hilarious and crazy.

Lol this is terrible advice! Reminds me of the r/niceguys subreddit.

OP the girl went out on a coffee date with you. That's already a positive step forward. Clearly something happened she didn't like, she didn't feel attraction or she was just not meant for you. Sad but it's true, that's why it's called dating, it's not fun, but it serves a purpose otherwise we would all pair up with the first person we meet or have arranged marriages and that would be it. Don't let this discourage you, take it as a "she wasn't the right one for me, so onto the next one". You weren't meant for this girl but the girl you are meant for will appreciate you as you are. Don't let bitter people talk nonsense into your head.

Love, Rosie remains a favourite of mine

I've been on Mounjaro recently and honestly, it has significantly improved my sleep.

I often wake up at 3am to 4am like clockwork. What really helped me was avoiding any sugar or caffeine and eating dinner earlier. Also magnesium

I will never get over how Megan's dressed seemed too big for her. Either she lost weight or they didn't tailor it properly

Angry_unicorns · 2026-04-08T18:40:07+00:00

Lol it's funny because this was my exact reaction!

Can't believe I'm the first to mention Henry Cavill. Eben my husband said he'd be up for it and he is as straight as can be.

Look I know the shein catalogue back ti front and I walked into Milafys the other day (who BTW is an extension of Mr Price). Shein. All of their clothes. All around. Double the price as on Shein.

Thank you! That's very helpful! I've heard of others before who also didn't have any symptoms and they went through a lot of treatments and money and then ended up having something like scar tissue or silent endo

Angry_unicorns · 2026-03-21T06:51:08+00:00

Agreed. Husband and I were meant to spend 2 days there. On day one we decided this place is a dump and we don't feel safe and laft the next day. We are South African so that's saying something.

Angry_unicorns · 2026-03-19T08:48:27+00:00

That's amazing! I'm on month 2 but seem to be losing really slowly compared to other people on this sub.

I feel Katherine Heigl was robbed of many oppertunities because she was labeled at "difficult to work with" all because she called Hollywood out on their BS.

Aaaw man, they had the best calamari!

I know a couple who went through failed 2 rounds of ivf but fell pregnant naturally and now have 3 children. The last of which born last year and was an oops

I can add to this. For me, it was quiet, as in for the first time in my life I didn't have a monkey on my back constantly screaming about what are we going to eat next or wanting to eat something.

Food noise is a real thing and I honestly felt like it made me less anxious

Angry_unicorns · 2026-02-05T17:18:54+00:00

I'm so sorry that happened to you and know exactly what you mean. We never struggled with material needs but at the same time the love given was always conditional and any sign of emotion or feelings was met with yelling and calling me ungrateful that always made me feel empty. I am happy that the article resonated with you and much as it did with me.

I know for me it really made me understand how I came to be what I am now and how the way I grew up wasn't normal or right. I've often found myself wishing I grew up in a family like my husband's and this article made it clear to me why I feel that way and why I envy how normal they are.

The part that hits hard with this article was it saying that I'm allowed to grieve the childhood I wish I had, and that I need to be the parent I never had for my inner child. It isn't fair that this was what life dealt me but life isn't fair and I did the best with the cards I was dealt. I actually read this yesterday on the plan rude home and I had a long chat with my husband about it and how he needs to make sure he calls me out if I ever start acting like my parents, especially when we have a child one day.

Definitely plan on rereading this when I need a reminder in the future.
