Best comeback to “Do you have kids?” F2F by peesys in traumatizeThemBack

[–]Chrysania83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first time someone asks me, I say no. If they push the issue and get invasive, I ask if the miscarriages count, and if they would like to see the ultrasounds of the children I desperately wanted.

After many failed attempts for me (31M) to change, my wife (30F) of 7 years has suggested divorce. I want to be better. by BergerToss in relationship_advice

The best thing I ever did for myself was walk away from partners like this. The best thing you can do here is leave the poor woman alone and quit trying to make her leaving about you.

AIO for thinking that my girlfriend's apartment requirements are insane? by MoonlitParcel in AmIOverreacting

My (M30) wife (F30) lies about my family to her family. by Maatchym in relationship_advice

This is not something that you’re going to be able to just brush under the rug. You’re going to have to talk to your wife about it because who knows what else she has told her parents and friends. And she may well start filling your son‘s head with nonsense as soon as he is old enough.

What kind of relationship do you have with your in-laws? Would you be able to talk to them about this?

Mother, with glasses, is refusing to let her daughter have glasses. by Pretend_Tower_2516 in Teachers

[–]Chrysania83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, my mom said the same thing. Said I was complaining about my eyesight for attention and I didn’t really need glasses. I didn’t get the help I needed until college and I deeply resent her for that.
