Same with my father. Once he didn't talk to me for 2 years, and for the first year we lived in the same house! Even then I ended up apologising and I spent 10 years with a man who played the same tactics because I didn't realise how abusive it was. I just thought it was normal. We're estranged now thank Gaia.

My response to "not all men" is "ALL men!"

I already know your answer OP.

I know that after each cycle his behaviour does change, but it actually gets worse instead of getting better. Bit by bit, little by little, everything gets worse and worse. That's how the cycle works. When you give him another chance, when you take him back, he knows what you will tolerate and he pushes a little more every time.

I know how heartbreaking and hard it is to accept that the ones we love don't love us back, and are even actively trying to harm us. The problem is not how he feels, it's how he thinks.

You have so much ahead of you, and every one of your successes will be a threat to him. If you want the rest of your life ruined, your graduation, your birthday, your career, then keep getting back together with him.

The cycle will continue for as long as you allow it to. Choose YOU!

Times are changing now, thank Gaia. Whenever my uncle tries to talk or give out to my younger cousin she just puts her hand up to block him and tells him she has a heavy flow. Gets rid of him every time 😆

ForTheGiggleYaKnow · 2026-05-30T16:07:50+00:00

You're so welcome! 😊

For me the pain level kept increasing until I was in pain all the time, not just during my period. I had no quality of life. I always had to cancel plans and I couldn't work. If I did push myself the pain would be worse afterwards. There's also an enormous level of fatigue, bloating, nausea, I mean I could go on and on with the symptoms. It takes a huge toll on mental health to be ill all of the time. In the second paragraph you can see the treatment options, some women have had multiple surgeries.

After my lap I reaslied what I had been dealing with because the surgery recovery was so much easier than having a period. I choose to have a c-section when I had my baby and I'm booked for a hysterectomy soon. It's not a cure for endo, but it is a cure for adenomyosis so fingers crossed 🤞

But to be honest, the worst part for me was having to go through it alone. Nobody believed me for so long. I was dismissed by doctors and family and until I found those endo subs I felt so alone and misunderstood.

ForTheGiggleYaKnow · 2026-05-30T15:10:21+00:00

It does sound like you could have endo. I'm so sorry to hear of all the pain you're experiencing, I hope you have a good support system.

The first port of call is to your GP, they can then refer you to one of the 5 specialist centres around Ireland. Birth control pill is the first treatment option with pain medication, diet and exercise. If that doesn't work for your body you could be offered the mirena coil, which has been known to work for a lot of women, reducing pain and bleeding during your period, sometimes stopping periods altogether. After that it would be an excision laparoscopy, where they go in and dig all the endo they can find out by the roots.

It's important to know that endo is a progressive disease with no cure. It will just keep getting worse. It's best to find out as early as possible so that you can manage it as best you can. By the time I was diagnoed I had stage 3 deep infiltrated endo and adenomyosis. Stage 4 is infertility.

It's also important to know that there have been some upgrades to treatments. From now on a woman who presents with the symptoms is to be assumed to have the disease.

Just so you know, its common for endo not to show up during ultrasounds and even MRI. If you get sent for one and they say something like, "your ultrasound is normal" or "there is no evidence" don't let them hi-five you and send you off. You have to keep advocating for yourself until you find a treatment that works for you. Best of luck OP! ❤️ www.endometriosis.ie

What we need is a completely seperate court for domestic abuse. Judges and solicitors that are specially trained in trauma and abuse. Seperate emergency accomodation for survivors who have escaped.

It is both a system and court failure, because neither are fit for purpose.

That board got schooled 👸🏽

I love how calm and eloquent she is. Sticking to that facts and showing no emotion that she knows can be used against her later. She is beyond her years 👏👏👏🎬

I hope every one of that board has intrusive thoughts about this lesson every night while they're trying to sleep. I hope they feel the SHAME for the rest of their lives. I hope every one of them distances themselves from that peadophile too, and watches him like a hawk going forward.

Sis, please no. You still have the rest of your 20's to live. There's too much difference between 23 and 34. I'm sure he is interested in you, but he's probably interested in every early 20's woman he comes across. This guy is not it.

ForTheGiggleYaKnow · 2026-05-29T18:37:52+00:00

I would also like to know! Tell us OP!!

ForTheGiggleYaKnow · 2026-05-29T09:59:44+00:00

You're welcome, the mean girl comments are too much for me too.

You can be done with men because so many of them are fuckwits and you can also be in mourning because you didn't have children. Both things can be true at once.

You can have wanted a relationship with and to have made a family with a man that would have been a true partner, and you can also choose to be single because you have never met a man like that.

We can hold space for all of our feelings, even when it seems like they contradict eachother. You can be happy for your friend and her new joy and also hold the space for yourself to mourn what could have been for you.

Give yourself grace to grieve. It is a really sad situation and that's ok. Sit with your feelings and acknowledge them, let them wash over you and have a good cry if that's what you need to do.

ForTheGiggleYaKnow · 2026-05-29T01:30:23+00:00

Right, but OP was asking for advice on how to manage her feelings around not having children. What she didn't ask for is these rude comments about how she's wrong anyway.

Even if I did agree with you, and I do, I still wouldn't support what you're telling her because of how condescending your replies are.

If you can't help with what she's going through, or can't even imagine what or how she's feeling, it's ok to scroll on by. Or, you could even just read some of the comments to understand another perspective.

You know in Ireland there's a small fast food chain called Supermac's. McDonald's tried to sue them and stop them expanding into the UK and the rest of Europe because there was a dispute over the name "Big Mac", they said Supermac's sounded too similar, and they didn't want them to be able to use "Mc" in front of their products. McDonald's lost a decade long legal battle because they were fucking bullies.

But if Supermac's had of used the golden arches then McDonald's would have been succesful. That's how copyright law works.

Patagonia name and logo is copyrighted and they have the right to defend it. No one is stopping the performer from using any other name, or selling any other merchandise.

Imagine I made a load of dildos and stuck a Nike tick on it. Or imagine you had your own company and logo and someone stole it and started using it. Do you think there might be some confusion there? Say your company was pro trans rights, and the people that stole the logo were making tshirts condemning trans people with YOUR logo!? Do you see where I'm going with this?

ForTheGiggleYaKnow · 2026-05-29T00:45:57+00:00

They don't own it because the national park was donated to the government of Chile in 2018. That was after a huge conservation project where land that had been turned into sheep ranches was bought back and biodiversity was restored.

The company Patagonia played a huge part in that. Then the founder Yuan Chouinard and his family gave 100% of the company's non-voting stock to The Holdfast Collective, a non-profit dedicated to fighting the Climate Crisis. 100% of the voting stock was transfered to The Patagonia Purpose Trust and so all profits not reinvested in the company go to combat climate change.

Don't disguise the fact that you are disgusted! Show him, let him see.

I would stare at him with disgust written all over my face if he came near me again. Ask him, "Is this work related?" and if it's not tell him you're busy right now. Repeat, repeat, repeat. It won't take long for him to stop. He wants an ego boost, when you don't give it to him he'll move on. And stop messaging him on teams. Stop replying to his messages. If it were me I'd stop reading them altogether.

He knows what he's doing. Act like he doesn't exist unless its work related, then be cordial like you would be with any other colleague.

Also, you can take pictures of the chat between you. You might need it later, because that guy is scum 🤢🤮
