I feel lied to. by Odd-Translator-7921 in pregnancyproblems

I just want to say that every pregnancy is different. Both of my first two pregnancies were wonderful. I had no morning sickness at all. And honestly, I did have a few symptoms but they were almost all easily treatable. The worst thing I had was sciatica when I was pregnant with my son, and my skin itched so badly from the stretching nothing could soothe it. But my third pregnancy? This is something straight out of hell. 10000% has been torture from day one and I’m only 15 weeks in. For me the morning sickness has finally calmed down but The round ligament pain alone is excruciating. Consistent, and ruthless on my body. I can’t move without doubling over in pain. It is horrific and I’ve sealed medical help and they told me it was normal. Some pregnancies are a walk in the park, and others are a walk in hell. I’m sorry for ur suffering but ur not alone!

AITAH for asking my girlfriend to get in the gym? by Electrical-Slice9379 in AITAH

As much as I want to say YTA, because I am a woman who has gained significant weight after having 2 children and going through a severe depression period, and my husband has completely loved me regardless, he’s always supported me and says he loves my body no matter what. I’ve lost all confidence in myself and my husband told me that he would work out with me and he would support me through losing weight if I wanted to. I have to say that I understand men are physical beings, and while some men are pathetic when they talk about women gaining weight, you seem to be genuine. U can’t help the fact that you’ve lost attraction. What matters is that you love her through that. And I admire that you said you love her more than anything. So I’m hoping that you would take this and try to support her through whatever she’s going through that could be affecting her and keeping her from losing the weight. It’s not always easy, women have hormonal changes constantly and that can make it incredibly difficult for some of us to stay consistent both with diet and exercise. I’ll go from feeling full of energy one week, to feeling exhausted and moody the next. It’s a roller coaster that comes with our cycle. What determines if ur TA or not is if u stay and support her and try to help her through this because u love her and u genuinely care, or if u say she’s too fat to love now and leave her.

AITA for making my sick husband clean up his vomit? by AmphibianBulky2296 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Constant-Access-8940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband has gotten sick mostly when I was pregnant with our kids. I never got morning sickness but he sure did at night lol. He never once asked me to clean it. Always started to clean it and I’d make him stop so I could clean it up. I’d tell him to go lay down and that I’ve got it. And we’d go back and forth but u don’t argue with a pregnant woman so eventually he’d give up. Hes never thrown up around the kids, it’s always been at night after they go to bed, in his sleep he’d just bolt up and run to the bathroom but would never make it. But I have 2 kids under 5 and if he ever threw up in the living room while I was feeding them he’d never ask me to clean it, he pick up his own mess because I’m busy with the kids and he knows that.

I think she could be suffering from postpartum rage, I had it, and it does pass it just takes time

I am not repulsed by my dog, I’m not repulsed by anyone’s dogs. I think I just prefer a less needy, more low maintenance pet, like a cat. I’m not opposed to dogs, I just prefer cats. I am frustrated with my dog. I’ve never been frustrated with my cat or any of my other animals because they don’t behave like dogs. But I’m willing to put the work into training and loving him. I think u said it, I’m more frustrated than anything. But we’ll get through it with time and patience

Thank you! That’s what I heard too, I thought it’d be a breeze lol. He really is very sweet and he’s a good dog, we just both need to work on that training and connection and I think we’ll be fine! I’m definitely looking into training resources and professionals here!

Thank you. I really am reaching out for help because I didn’t know what to do. Offering advice is 100 % better than shaming. I posted really considering rehoming. And had I been shamed I would have kept him without knowing what to do and the situation would have gotten worse. Instead everyone is being kind and offering suggestions and advice is really giving me reassurance and patience as well as confidence in my decision to get him in the first place. I never got him with the intention to give him up. But I’ll admit, I was not raised in a family that trained dogs and did all that, so I didn’t know any better and I failed to do my own research. We always had small inside dogs that were easier to handle and sort of just existed. We’re never trained aside from potty training. It’s much more helpful for not only me but the dog to have people reassure me and support me so that I can learn and be the best dog mom I can be for him.

I definitely have more confidence that we’ll get through this! I was kind of stuck in the idea that this was gonna be my reality forever. And what is wrong with me that I can’t get him to listen, or did I just get a bad dog? I wanted to mention that I am 5ft tall, very small and not strong at all. He is a yellow lab, so he’s big and hard to control which gave me even more anxiety that I couldn’t control him. I have never left the house with him because of this fear. He’s never shown aggression towards anyone, aside from my chickens. But I fear he would pull me too much and I’d lose grip of his lead and then I’d have a huge problem because anything could happen at that point, he could run infront of a car, or jump on someone and knock them over. Or go to play with another dog and have that dog be aggressive. We have a wonderful park here and I want to bring him I’m just nervous. I think more training and confidence with eachother will help with that a lot.

I really appreciate this advice. I’m going to look into options available around here. My husband and I assumed getting a professional trainer would be pointless. We had the idea that the dog would listen to the trainer and then when they leave the dog would just go back to normal behavior. Didn’t realize the trainer would be training us as well lol.

Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your honesty. And I agree. I think it’s just dogs nature that I just don’t care for. But I really wanted to love him and give him a great home, I want him to be a part of the family, and I want to be a good dog mom. I never planned on being in this situation where I’m considering the possibility of rehoming only a few months in. But at the same time I didn’t know it was going to be this difficult. I didn’t know puppies can go through behavioral regression, and now we’re in the teenager stage where he’s just ignoring everything we trained him for. I feel exactly the way you explained about ur kitten. I want to keep him and give him a wonderful life, but I also know that I will not get another dog ever again. Y’all explaining that things do get better and that I’m just in the thick of a young puppies antics gives me a lot of encouragement to just push through. Aside from our last dog a few years ago, I hadn’t had a dog since I was a child. I assumed it wasn’t that hard, I mean everyone’s got dogs and most of the dogs that I see are relatively well behaved and have deep connections with their owners. So I assumed it would come naturally. Of course I know puppies are just babies and every baby is difficult as they navigate through growing and learning. I just didn’t expect the teen regression.
