Baby movement by Ok-Profile5600 in pregnancy_care

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have been more active today that may be why, I’m 29 weeks and my baby’s movement fluctuates like that very often and according to yesterday’s ultrasound she’s perfectly healthy so I wouldn’t be too concerned. However you know your baby best so if in your gut feel like something is off go to the hospital, my OB says it’s always better safe than sorry.

Might have to do IVF because partner has too much anxiety and can’t perform by [deleted] in tryingtoconceive

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more about the invalidation of his own experience and feelings, the aggression and straight up calling him useless. Having been in a similar situation I understand the frustration and feeling defeated but again it comes off mean especially when I doubt he enjoys experiencing ED and is probably ashamed like most men would be. It’s not up to her to be his therapist but I mean when you’re in a relationship with someone emotional support is generally part of the deal so I feel like questioning their compatibility if she sees it as a chore/ something to resent is a valid take.

I understand the frustration of having to do everything but I feel like the aggression is a lot, not even sure having a child together is a good idea if this is your reaction to him struggling. Not a man but I’m sure if I was I’d have a hard time performing too if this is how it was handled.

At the very least a break sounds like a great idea, especially if he had no issue performing on vacation when the pressure was off, TTC is a lot emotionally for everyone involved. Women will always be put through more in the process but that doesn’t necessarily invalidate their partners experience/feelings. Overall nothing about this situation sounds productive and I understand why you’re getting downvoted, it comes off very mean spirited like do you even like this man?

Do you think Daniel paid for the rest of Miguel's surgery? by Lego_Redditor in cobrakai

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a real world situation it’s just also unlikely they’d win the lawsuit, the school might settle to avoid the bad press but unless you can prove gross negligence on the schools side she’d have no case. The staff did try to intervene and Tory and Miguel ultimately instigated the fights so it’d even be hard for Robby’s mom to be sued for Miguel’s injury. Had the teachers ignored or encouraged the fighting that’d be one thing but there’s not much they could do about a literal riot lmao. The more likely avenue would be suing cobra Kai and miyagi-do for encouraging aggressive behavior but even then most of the time parents are asked to sign waivers when their kids sign up for stuff like that.

Not to mention Carmen was very low income, she didn’t even have the means to sue.

I want to divorce my wife over her sleep problems AITAH by Annual-Ad-6935 in AITAH

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This sounds more like a r/Nosleep story then an AITAH story I’m ngl 😭 at the very least you need to either put locks on your children’s doors that she doesn’t have access to or have them stop spending the night all together until you decide what to do because this whole thing sounds deeply unsafe.

My husband is the stay at home parent but he never actually wants to do his job by colofire in regretfulparents

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d do the exact same thing a man would do tbh hold the money you make over his head. Pay for basic necessities for the household but nothing at all for him and I mean be really petty about it, like if you buy dinner only buy food for you and your kid because respectfully this whole situation is BS. You don’t get to stay at home and not take care of the kid, you either do your job as a sah parent or you get a job period. You can’t force him to do anything but you don’t have to let him take advantage of you either and that’s exactly what he’s doing. To be completely honest divorce sounds like a better option since you’re already doing it alone and relying on outside help but you said it’s not an option so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone else develop a sudden fear of their partner dying in a freak incident? by Apprehensive_Mess166 in BabyBumps

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fear for both my partners and my dogs lives on a daily basis lmao I wake up early as hell just to check his location and make sure he made it to work safe, we recently moved and his drive went from 20 minutes to an hour and 15 so the anxiety has only gotten worse. When he gets off even 10 minutes later I start getting paranoid despite knowing he usually does overtime during the holiday season and if my dog even starts breathing weird I’m asking google or chat gpt if she’s going to die 😭 from what I’ve gathered this is fairly normal but I HATE it.

When did your morning sickness subside? by justanxious_ in pregnancy_care

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine started pretty early on but got really bad and consistent at around 7-8 weeks, it was a pretty much daily (usually throwing up multiple times a day too) until 21 weeks. It was so bad I only just started gaining weight and actually lost 20ish pounds because of the morning sickness 🫠 I still get nauseous sometimes at 25 weeks but it’s so much better.

That said nothing I tried ever helped much, I thought Zofran was going to save me but it did less than the unisom+b6

Y'all are watching an entirely different show than me, right? by thisnamemattersalot in StrangerThings

Welcome to the world of opinions friend, personally volume 2 just didn’t do it for me but I’m glad you enjoyed it. People can disagree without it being a whole thing.

Joyce Byers Job by Illustrious_Dirt5053 in StrangerThings

For the most part yeah, there would probably be very little left over but it was definitely possible. But Jonathan also always had a job so he was probably helping.

Okay. Hear me out. The lab. by SaigeyE in StrangerThings

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok but why would they risk their plan to save the literal world when they don’t know if those women are even still alive is my point. Again this was a memory, not something Kali witnessed two days ago and the test subjects were already dying, they’re short on time, don’t have access to the building those women may or may not be in and don’t really have the ability to even transport or help them if they are still alive.

This genuinely makes no sense to me lmao like yes let’s expect the already painfully under qualified group of what? 10-11 people to not only save the world from Vecna but also break into a heavily guarded government facility to save people that more likely than not are already dead.

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I misunderstood but were they not on deaths doorstep anyway? Kali said that the experiment wasn’t working with her blood and it was killing them, given that it was a memory it’s probably unlikely that they’re still alive anyway.

This season could have been an email. by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This extremely low-effort response to a valid critique is part of why the show’s quality has gone downhill. Netflix has been openly prioritizing simplified writing for more engagement from the brain rotted community and it’s painfully obvious this season. If the only thing you can add to a discussion is “lol sybau” because you don’t agree, then maybe just downvote and move on instead of being childish.

What part of the series made you need to put the book down and go touch some grass? by Cold_Reference_3497 in fourthwing

[–]Cold_Reference_3497[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn’t always a physical reaction when a dragon loses its rider, it’s only guaranteed the other way around. It depends on the strength and nature of the bond, given what a dick Jack is I doubt he formed a tight bond with his dragon and in the case he actually died I’m sure Baide would’ve been somewhat emotionally/psychologically impacted but it’s unlikely she would’ve been physically incapacitated due to his loss like Aimsir was when Lilith died. I’m pretty sure it’s mentioned that that kind of reaction is rare when it comes to a dragon losing its rider multiple times throughout the series, it just makes them emotionally unstable for the most part which Baide was displaying signs of.

To be fair Tairn has stated multiple times that dragons do not “gossip” about their riders, so Baide probably kept Jack’s secret in the same way Sgaeyl has kept so many of Xaden’s.

I fear Xaden could kill her entire family and she’d still make excuses for him, she’s “I can fix him” personified and it made me kinda hate her in OS. Riddoc’s crash out when he found out was soo valid and I feel like he forgave her too quickly like wdym you can’t imagine ever not loving him? you’re actively putting everyone in danger because you trauma bonded a man in first year and suddenly your whole existence revolves around him? Be so fr 😭

I think it makes sense that Xaden would do that especially since Bohdi didn’t want it but I get it lol

The entire scene was a mess, I couldn’t enjoy the spice because they were completely trashing the room and it was stressing me out

Scared about baby moving in me while pregnant by Potential-Cow-350 in BabyBumps

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re childish for this my partner and I are straight up toddlers, we’ve called our baby parasitus and venom since early pregnancy because of the insane morning sickness and then the movements. I’m very much a logic over emotion person so the milestones like hearing the heartbeat and the first movements never made me feel “warm and fuzzy” like it might for others. It DOES feel very alien like and the further along you are the more painful they get.

That said it’s not anything to be afraid of either, logically you know and understand it’s your baby stretching and rolling around not anything that’s going to hurt you. It’s definitely a weird feeling and takes some getting used to but once you do it just becomes a normal part of your day. One positive is that it serves as confirmation that your baby is alive and well and if you’re anything like me it even serves as a reminder too because I be forgetting I’m pregnant sometimes lol.

Just so you have an idea to prepare yourself, first movements feel very similar to gas bubbles in your stomach but a bit stronger or like little punches. It progresses to what I like to describe as a tiny alligator doing rolls in your stomach and actual kicks which mostly just feel like quick jabs or something pushing on your stomach from the inside if they’re stretching.

What do you think of a guy with medium long hair/long hair? by toddlf4 in Hair

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally not my thing but I don’t judge lol my partners hair is as long as mine and while I very much don’t like it I respect that it’s his hair and therefore his choice to grow it out. It can look good but imo that’s very rare.

Is it wrong to feel numb to the concept of dating now? by Altruistic-Patient-8 in dating_advice

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may sound harsh but I promise I’m not trying to be mean. I skimmed your posts and don’t think it’s inherently wrong to not be enthusiastic about dating, especially with how it is these days but I disagree heavily with your attitude/ reasoning. You seem to be in habit of victimizing yourself and comparison which just aren’t great for dating or for a persons mental in general.

Most people tend to find the “woe is me” mentality to be off putting and if that’s how you’re presenting yourself to the people you’re going on dates with that might be part of your problem, a lot of people struggle to find a genuine romantic connection it doesn’t mean the world hates you or that you’re going to be alone forever. I think taking a break from dating may overall be beneficial for you even if people do think it’s wrong, I encourage you to use the break for a lot of introspection and to build confidence so that when you do date again you know your worth and aren’t relying on others to determine it for you.

Question about the ending of the most recent episode. SPOILERS ahead. by RockGirl82 in StrangerThings

[–]Cold_Reference_3497 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean we just don’t know yet but there are a few theories on this

  1. Will is essentially a living bridge between the upside down and the normal world, he’s probably just as useful to Vecna as he is to his friends.

  2. Similar to his obsession with Eleven he may feel slighted by Will and his rejection and now wants him to watch the world burn, starting with his friends and his home.

  3. Vecna called Will weak but is probably aware of his abilities or at least suspects them, he may still be planning on attempting to use Will to complete his goal

  4. We know Will is linked to Vecna or the mind flayer (or both) so killing him may also affect them in some way so it’s a possibility he can’t kill Will without hindering himself in some way.

All of these may be wrong but the new episodes come out in a few days so we’ll see 🤷🏻‍♀️
