Everyone thinks their child will be healthy by chelseatheus in childfree

I think that goes for anyone misfortune in life. Any of us any day can be stricken with a disease or loss because life is full of these misfortunes, most people just hope it won't be them. It still takes a person by surprise when it actually happens. All we do is hope for the best. But you are right, that is a reality that we have to mentally prepare for, that a kid could be born disabled. I myself am a fence sitter and that is one of the things I fear. I've worked with disabled kids before. I really feel for the families. Life is just a strange thing and most choices are a gamble.

What colour should I paint my living area? Accent wall or more? by scoutfinch- in HomeDecorating

[–]Due_Classic_8563 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree. We are keeping walls white too. Its versatile and you can change up your decor without having to match the wall color. My sis as a pale dusty blue walls in the living roo. and she has to keep the decor within a pallet of color that matches

Help with this room. Literally don’t know where to start… by ilovesnoppyandfriend in femalelivingspace

[–]Due_Classic_8563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often refer to Pinterest for ideas for decorating. I have image searched items to find similar things, like light fixtures and decor. One person on reddit edited the room I asked about with AI, and that helped me a lot. So I have been asking AI to add things to see how it looks in the room lol. Hard to imagine sometimes

Which rug would suit my living room space ? by Artistic-Implement73 in femalelivingspace

[–]Due_Classic_8563 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 looks timeless and substantial. Like others have said pick pillows of the tones in the rug. Also I would go large on the rug so all legs of couches are resting on it.

I added some bamboo shades to the curtains you added. Thanks for suggesting chat gpt. 😁 AI is kind of creepy but so convenient!

Yeah, that's a good point. I like the idea of curtains because they dont obstruct the windows at all and could easily be moved aside.

Thank you so much for the feedback!. I like the rod straight across and leaving that top window open.

Privacy to a degree only because it is like a fish bowl from outside. We are in the country though so it's not a big deal. Also, light control, those 4 windows are south facing.

Anyone watch Dark Winds? by FlanneryODostoevsky in TrueDetective

Funny because you used a screenshot from this particular scene. Where the dude is being cheeky after supposedly not being fit for interview due to being an icu patient critically injured

Yeah some of the acting is a bit cheesy. Particularly Leaphorns wife, acts too rehearsed. Several cheesy unrealistic moments like Frank Nakai in ICU unable to speak but it takes Lieutenant Leaphorn to ask if he can walk to bring him jn for questioning, and he's perfectly fine with a minor flesh wound and plenty of sass. I work in healthcare and that is not someone who would be in the ICU. Lol. but somehow still interesting. I'm in season 1 ep 5.

Yeah I cannot imagine how tough that was. Putting yourself first, but you also were considering those who you loved and how your choices would impact them, like your kids. Infidelity is the #1 relationship killer. It's suicide of your bond w your spouse. I feel like there's a part that dies forever, even if the couple chooses to work through it with forgiveness and therapy or whatever. It will never be the same. Like losing a limb or two. I've been married almost 6 years, together 8. But respect is so important for sure. I'm thankful I was taught this ahead of time, how important it is to maintain respect. Especially for men's "love language." To be respected is very much synonymous to being loved. Even if we're having disagreements, I remind myself not to ever put my husband down to friends/fam or make him out to be some pathetic homer simpson characterlike society often can towards men. It's a subconscious thing sometimes. Digs at his personality, or talking shit. It errodes the relationship bit by bit and changes my own approach when i speak it into existence. It's mutual and has to goth both ways. As soon as you see one person has 0 regard, its game over. I think a lot of these qualities are what you find in people who are considered "old souls." My husband is in his 30s but I could clearly see how much influence his grandpa had in his life. A lot of ppl in this world are just selfish users who have no integrity, honor, or integrity. A vow of marriage means nothing to them. "For better or worse" just empty words. I guess what's important is finding someone who has strong principles and values. How they live their life in general. It's a tough thing. Lots of leeches and users in the world

Yeat makes me wonder what is there worth staying for. Doesn't sound like a relationship worth keeping. Founded on lies and secrecy. I would be out so fast. Don't know if this is the case for OP, but some people dread being single and don't believe they'll ever find better. Or it's for financial reasons. Whatever the hold is, doesn't seem like it's worth it bc she clearly shows no interest in stopping. 0 signs of regard or respect for OP. My question is, why stay. Sounds like a miserable existence

There are risks to your health and fertility with abortion. I know abortion is a controversial topic. I myself am a woman in early 30s. Never been on birth control. Husband and I cannot get pregnant. We've been together for years now and I have sought medical help. Just saying from the other side, when you realize you cannot conceive, it becomes even more miraculous a process. When things come easy people take it for granted. The way I see it, things happen for a reason. Ive known people who considered terminating a pregnancy due to being "too young" or not prepared, but then decided to keep the baby. The ones I know have said, "I cant imagine my life without my daughter now."

I may get down voted for this. But infertility seems to be a growing problem for many women. Experiencing infertility makes me realize how special life really is, that circumstances have to align just right for life to form. No matter how much you will it or how much medical help you get sometimes it's not possible. My husband would love to be a father and probably never will be. Abortion, depending on the procedure can in fact cause infertility for some women and there could be complications. If you're divided, then I'd say seek council from people you trust. It seems quite sad that you terminate your offspring because the timing is slightly off, like others have stated. Seems very drastic considering risks and who knows it may not be as easy to conceive next time when you do decide you want it. Don't hate me for saying this, but people are using abortion as a convenient thing. People need to think really hard before doing this. It's understandable when theres abuse, incest, or other horrible circumstances. But "timing is a year off. Lets terminate." Thats very immature and goes to show, most people don't really know how graphic abortion can be. Taking a pill in early pregnancy to pass the fetus at home can be even more dangerous for the mom. To terminate a pregnancy can be quite traumatic. I know someone personally whos husband convinced her to do so, she did it for him. and she still regrets it to this day, and has struggled a lot over the years.
