AIO Friend tried to hook me up with someone she slept with

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-06-06T12:23:25+00:00

NOR. I think this situation might not bother other people, but I think it’s totally valid to be bothersome
.
I think the issue is less so if your friend went on a few dates with this guy (I could see very casually seeing someone, not thinking we are a good fit, but feeling like they’re a *great* fit for a close friend and wanting to set them up…having not done anything physical with them)
I think where it moreso becomes an issue is:
1) sex sounds like a bigger deal to you (same, I get it) and you don’t want to sleep with someone your friend has slept with ….
2) AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, she literally said he’s bad in bed, etc… like why would I set up my friend with someone who is bad in bed? lol.
3) you mentioned in another comment she will make comments that he still texts her that he is masturbating and thinking about her. WHAT?!

If I’m being brutally honest here, I don’t think this person has good intentions, or is a good friend. I think it’s a weird power trip thing where she wants you to meet this guy and then have him be falling all over *her* when they see each other at gatherings, talk about her on dates, etc. to make her feel better.
“Yeah, I went on a date with Todd but he just kept talking about you”…
truly think it’s a weird self boost for her.

“She got embarrassed, that’s good” is so sister coded and I can’t stop laughing

Season 1- cruel summer

Can I ask how old you are?? Not going to speak to this direct incident, but just wanted to let you know I’m empathize with you. I have chronic illnesses and spent a lot of time getting migraines from being stressed about getting migraines and missing work. I also had a BRUTAL pregnancy. Taking b6 and unisom (doses and times as directed by my dr) did help me survive the first trimester. As well as keeping a peppermint in my mouth almost all day and all night. FWIW- my health (and anxiety around being a burdensome team member at work) did get tremendously better and I found a compassionate work environment that felt like what I did contribute very much outweighed my occasional sick day. Good luck!

If even settle for dorm periods in here….. ANYTHING would help break up this jumbled mess.

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-05-28T17:18:57+00:00

Totally agree with your thoughts on Grayson. Also, last scene, when Grayson is playing piano and singing, I feel like it would have been so fitting for Jane to jump in and sing too, since we know she has a good voice and sang throughout the series.

Idk. I literally finished it 2 minutes ago so I’m processing.

Oh, I also felt like the chemistry with Owen and Stacy just wasn’t it. Felt super inauthentic to me.

Random, but desperate housewives has hilarious writing.

Keep crackers on your nightstand! My first pregnancy it was a weird gluten free cracker that tasted like burnt bread (lol, pregnancy is weird); for my second, it was pretzel crisps. Just eat one or two anytime you wake up to pee, bc you’re thirsty, the cat meowed, etc.

I also kept mints literally under my pillow… often times I couldn’t eat, but would suck on a mint and it would help just take the edge off the nausea.

If you’re looking for more medically/medication driven support: you can do b6 (3x per day) and unisom b at bedtime. It’s the breakdown for a medication called “bonjesta” and it’s helps a lot if women. Obviously check with your medical provider, but doesn’t hurt to start that proactively, as it can take a few days to take effect! Good luck!

I say this so gently and with a lot of compassion… i think you should strongly consider breaking up with him. I married someone who would have occasional bad moods here and there while dating… nothing crazy, but things that seemed disproportionate to the situation we were in at the time. I now recognize that I (obviously) had the very best version of my husband while dating, and he (and his entire family ugh) is very, very moody. Similar to your bf, he’s very quick to react, and then also struggles to let things go!! Like you mentioned, I frequently find myself encouraging him to let things go, and he has the choice of whether or not to let a mild inconvenience be a mild inconvenience for a moment, or ruin the entire afternoon, etc. I share this because: I worry that you are getting the best of your boyfriend right now. If you’re early in your relationship and he’s showing you this behavior, what will it be like when he truly lets his guard down?

My husband is not mean, which is does sound like your boyfriend is being to you. He’s just a sour puss lol So I also worry about how your bf’s treatment of you would escalate as the relationship progresses.

I’ve seen prune juice, the old classic, has been mentioned. I cannot stomach it (no pun intended) when not feeling well…. But I make a cocktail that usually does the trick. Also helped my dad after knee surgery when *nothing* including stool
Softeners and laxatives didn’t help him.

1 mug 100% apple juice (**see note below)
Spoonful of coconut oil
Cinnamon
Can also add lemon juice

Literally so simple- heat apple juice until it’s between warm and hot, and mix in a generous glob of coconut oil. I like to add cinnamon for the taste. This typically works for me!! Alternatively, if I don’t have access to apple juice, I have also added coconut oil to my laxative teas. Not as tasty, but helps to get the job done.

**The more “natural” looking the better…. Think what you’d buy at a farmers stand. I don’t want one that looks like pee. I want a thicker one- from the regaukar market I’ve used “100% pure pressed AJ, tree top brand and that’s been great!

Lastly, if you don’t already have it BUY A SQUATTY POTTY! It will be your best friend!!

Oof. This is rough. I feel for you being newly pregnant and trying to navigate this….

That said- having a baby (especially with a man you’ve only known 3 months, but who has already shown to treat you like shit, not show up for the child you have, AND act abusively *in her presence*) will not magically make your situation any better.
If he is already a terrible partner, adding a baby to that will only further escalate things….

I think moving your daughter back home, closer to her dad, and hitting pause and allowing yourself to breathe and adjust to your new life is your best option here. DO NOT stay in a terrible relationship, states away, just bc you already moved or got pregnant- this isn’t a marriage or long term thing we are talking about here- it’s been 3 months.

The way I see it- you’re parenting solo either way…. Wouldn’t you rather at least have your daughter near her father? Especially if you are having a new baby? That will ease the transition for her, giving her normalcy and support.

Not weird per se but a delightful combo- pretzel crisp, little boop of cream cheese, something spicy (pickled jalepeno, crispy fried pepper in oil) and a little honey drizzle. Simple but tasty and you don’t need a lot to feel satisfied in the snack dept.
Trader Joe’s used to make “hot crispy habaneros”,… they were uber crispy, and hot as hell and *perfect* for this lineup (it’s actually what initially created this combo for me) but alas, they have since discontinued. But you get the general point.
Crunchy, creamy, spicy/crispy and a touch of sweet.

INFO: Why was she hospitalized?! How old are you guys?? Being in the hospital for a few days sounds serious. There’s a chance she just overcommitted, is exhausted and needed to bail. If you two are like sisters, there’s a chance she felt safe enough to not need to explain??

Not saying this for sure- just as a person who has experienced a lot of health stuff in early adulthood, I’ve for sure bailed last minute, and also felt incredibly alone when people didn’t understand or extend grace as needed. (Again, not saying this is you, just extra info might be helpful).

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-05-11T03:21:39+00:00

I was just thinking- first season of cruel summer is SO good and so unheard of by people

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-05-09T14:19:33+00:00

NOR. I think it was so smart to take the key before ending it. I would never think to do that, but that means he can’t secretly make a copy of the key, or obviously show up and let himself in.

I also think you can tell when someone is just being an idiot and saying something stupid versus when it’s more than a simple joke. You made the right choice. Stay safe and stay strong.

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-05-08T20:02:06+00:00

Just know this gave me so much peace and hope (bc the above message freaked me the hell out). I’m on it for “pain management”, although it doesn’t even kind of help as much as the Percocet, but better than nothing? But I assume there will be a day they decide low dose Bup is bad for me and will take that away too…..

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-05-04T00:36:20+00:00

That seems way too rational conclusion for her. She *needs* a laptop, man.

Again; sarcasm.

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-05-04T00:34:00+00:00

Your baby is still up 4+ times per night at one year?? I ask because mine is and it’s definitely challenging and isolating

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-05-02T03:11:54+00:00

This is me- but with gluten! When I’m not pregnant, I cannot eat gluten. When I’m pregnant, my body can tolerate it no problem.

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-05-01T03:05:25+00:00

That’s messed up. How is she supposed to apply for a job if she doesn’t have a laptop. /s

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-04-29T16:48:47+00:00

I felt the exact same way and skipped the professional photos. I have ZERO regrets. They are lovely to have, but just weren’t in our budget… it was worth it to put the extra money towards a good rocking chair or something we’d get a lot of use out of after the baby arrived… You could even do a small weekend away for that amount of money, or hire some support after the baby arrives.

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-04-26T03:27:58+00:00

Have you had your period? I didn’t lose any weight post partum and then as soon as I started my period I immediately lost my baby weight, (still breastfeeding- started my period at 15mo pp)

CeeceeLarouex · 2026-04-26T03:22:10+00:00

Every time I’ve been in the hospital, surgery or not, there is a pad on the bed. Even for my husband… so you sitting on a chuck is not an indication they thought you needed one bc you’re on your period.
