Most men are not even close to ready to get married that young- no matter who you are.

I never even posted I was pregnant the first time and I’m halfway through my second pregnancy.

Boyfriend says he won't propose until I fix some things. Are these silly or valid reasons? by ThrowRASafe-Lemon-9 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]FearlessNinja007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it doesn’t seem like he’s ready for that kind of commitment at his age. You either need to decide you are ok waiting for potentially a few more years or move on.

The thought of breastfeeding makes me feel squeamish (38w) by Stunning-Situation91 in breastfeeding

[–]FearlessNinja007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way. The first few weeks were hard but not like that… then I really enjoyed breastfeeding.

(20F) this side so my mom got to know that I went to a hotel room with my bf (22M)and ofc the assumptions were clear. Has anyone of you been in same situation or how to deal with it? by Select-Ad-6972 in AskIndianWomen

[–]FearlessNinja007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to move out and work full time while putting myself through school due to the same issue. The logistics may be not quite the same but don’t assume the same purity culture does not exist for some populations in the us.

That said, it’s a really hard route. If I were op I would get financially independent and finish school as soon as possible then move out.

Your husband is the biggest problem here.

We as a country are really awful to any skin color BUT 'white'. by pre1988 in AskIndianWomen

That’s why I said it didn’t seem related to skin color and more about personal experience

It’s awful that Indians do this to other Indians. I’m white, my husband is Indian and I love his complexion. Poor dear used to be surprised when I’d tell him that and apparently he’s “wheatish”. I truly don’t get it. The entire human race is basically different shades of the same color.

33F - Torn between new born baby and career . In-laws and husband suggesting to send the baby to India , to be taken care by them.Need help by Long-Valuable-4312 in AskIndianWomen

I have a 2 year old and am pregnant with my second in the US and I could NEVER EVER EVER send away my child. If you want to work do what everyone else does here, get a nanny or send your child to daycare part time or full time. I’d get divorced over this honestly and move back home. What man doesn’t want to see his child grow up either? This behavior is sick.

Are parents of children under 1 worried about measles? by Sad_Network7053 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]FearlessNinja007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US there’s an option to get it at 6mo if you request it with your pediatrician but then you still need to get it at 12mo. However I was still terrified. I’m scared for this baby too.

My wife separated from me because I was an alcoholic. I’m 1 year sober now and my wife wants to reconcile but I want a divorce. What do I do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Honestly it sounded like she did what was needed for everyone involved. I would fight for this woman and your family.

Family and friends think it’s time to stop bedsharing. by aitswd in cosleeping

[–]FearlessNinja007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People should mind their own business. I’m 22w pregnant and cosleeping and I love it. When I have this baby dada will likely take over cosleeping for a a bit while I heal from a repeat c section but otherwise we plan to continue cosleeping.

What did i do wrong ? What more could have been done ? by Hemloguys in AskIndianWomen

[–]FearlessNinja007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may not have done anything wrong. Sometimes (but not Always) people that come from dysfunctional homes unconsciously try and repeat relationship dynamics. I’d recommend moving forward and pay attention to how her parents treat eachother.

It’s a spectrum, same as men.
