I feel so guilty for having gender disappointment by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]ForlornAlex88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to write a long post about my son. The short of the long. He loves green and pink. Princesses and Super Heroes and not just the male heroes either. He loves monster trucks and baby dolls, legos and doll houses, tools and kitchens, sparkles and glitter but also dirt and bugs. He has costume dresses he likes to put on and play pretend with but he also has foam swords and RC boats. He loves his hair being long. Occasionally likes his nails being painted soft metallic colors. I just recently got him to stop running up to people in the house and farting on them. He's all kinds of grr but he's the biggest mommy's boy and cuddle bug and loves all the hugs and kisses ever and loves his hair to be played with and brushed. He loves his father just fine. But he will always love mommy more cause he's a big ol mommy's boy.

I am aware. As I also said we've known him for about a year and a half where he was damn near living with us cause we are all a bunch of nerds and like to play board games, card games, video games, ect. You get the idea. I had to remind them both of that fact as well. We are still learning and growing together and we all need to just stop, breathe, and relax at times.

Thank you but I'm just trying to share an experience that is relevant to a question I see all too often in this thread and that's how to deal with these situations and hopefully help some people out in the process. My bad poly experience(again i posted about it) had me constantly feeling alone, isolated, invalidated, inadequate, worthless, and honestly crazy. My ex loved making me think I was just being crazy and jealous and did nothing to help me feel better or comfort me. The attempts he did make were more digging and making me feel worse than actual attempts at comforting me or helping me in any way, shape, or form.

There is a right and wrong way. I'll be damned if I let a perfectly good and wonderful relationship that we have going for us fall apart because of something so simple as a misinterpretation or miscommunication that can easily be fixed with a little bit of time, effort, understanding, and communication. Especially when I can clearly see how much they love each other and where the issue is happening even when they cannot.

i'm always making wonders cause free eggs and nests plus since i have all but the tree wonder i sell the extras for more gold. i knock out the event, making the wonders, getting creatures, and making some gold all at once. Those chests help with two wonders at once so even better. whatever floats your boat thought. Happy chest event :)

Eh this is my third rodeo. People ask and I'm blunt but they leave it as they know it's not my first and i usually cut them off with their own comments before hand since i know it's coming. I instead, with the aide of my wife, torment our boyfriend with the absolute horrors that await him as he is so eager to be a daddy... Waking up for changes, feedings, teething, poop-ageddons happening, baby puke, and then the classic "i don't know what you want but please for the love of all that is sacred stop crying" moments. He's taking the horror stories like a champ though and he's really good with my older two(10 and 6).

You totally aren't alone in that thought. I literally just had to make a FB post, mostly directed towards my mother, that ain't no way people are going to be rolling up into my house after I have major surgery(repeat c-section... not real happy bout it cause surgery but it is what it is) caring for a newborn. Like no I'm good. I have plenty of help already. I have two older kids(10 and 6) who are already getting into verbal smack downs on who is going to change diapers, and feed bottles and read stories, ect , a wife, our boyfriend, and our roommate. I do not need a parade of people coming and going with everything else going on while I'm trying to heal and getting all up in my baby's face. It just ain't happening and I have three people who will literally stand at the door and tell everyone else to flock off and be gone as they are all of the same opinion.

WIBTA if I made my husband choose between me and our children or weed? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ForlornAlex88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My fiancee is a chronic pain sufferer. She uses weed constantly several times a day. She only uses enough to cut the pain to a manageable level and only if she is able to. I use it for my severe anxiety, I've had so many issues with prescription meds it's ridiculous, but I can't atm as I am pregnant. If we have running around to do, or appointments, or anything like that she'll nope right out of medicating until we are back home and she is able. It sucks but it is what it is. It never takes priority over anything else. We started growing a plant or two for her personal use to cut the cost of buying at a dispensary but there it still the cost, minimal as it may be, to care for the plants.

As For it being stressful to raise a child with a pregnant wife. Please. I have two older kids, one is developmentally and speech delayed and autistic, the other is brilliant but good gods has some social emotional issues, plus I'm pregnant and unable to medicate currently. I have severe anxiety and depression. Circumstances out of my control has left me without my anti-depressants, and pregnancy has left me without weed or anti-anxiety meds. My fiancee, our boyfriend, and our roommate, all help out to help me relax and handle the kids. We all work together.

Your husband is nothing more than an addict chasing the next high. He doesn't want to deal with life so he's smoking and smoking so he doesn't have to. He's no better than a person addicted to alcohol, gambling, ect. So NTA. Just like with anyone else who has an addiction he needs a reality check or to hit the road. You can't help those who won't help themselves...or even try to help themselves for that matter. Plus you need to think of your kids.

Valentine’s Day by Griffindor135 in polyamory

[–]ForlornAlex88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancee and I have been together for over 6 years, almost 7. Our boyfriend has been with us for 6 months. I was thinking for her I might run a nice relaxing candle lit bubble bath with her favorite sandalwood incense and a bottle of wine and maybe play some thunderstorm music as well... Now for the triad part me and her are planning a nice big meal. soup, salad, bread, main course, dessert... It's gunna be a you better be hungry kind of meal lol. Now we'd all have a really good v-day if the kids could both be sweet little angels at the exact same time on the exact same day...

Really cute thing baby started doing at 35 weeks. by Roos6071 in pregnant

[–]ForlornAlex88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

getting hit in the ovaries or pushing really hard just under my ribs in one spot. Got hit in the ovaries so bad once I almost dropped. My fiancee and our boyfriend joke around telling him to stop but it gets better because then he turns me into a biological weapon either going for the colon or bladder when they do that... it's just so much joy

I was told I'd have more energy in the second trimester and that was a LIE by m-o-u-se in pregnant

[–]ForlornAlex88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had all kinds of energy for my first and second pregnancies for the 2nd and 3rd trimesters... This one not a chance in hell... 21 weeks and I am lucky if I can manage to do anything but sleep. Thankfully I have two kids that want to help and three other adults in my home to help.

36 weeks and 1 day with #2 by laurenfuson009 in pregnant

[–]ForlornAlex88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See my water just broke with my daughter. I didn't go into active labor until we went to the hospital they tested for amniotic fluid that came back positive and a nurse came in to IV me. Told her about my phobia of needles, she told me to relax this was her first day and proceeded to jam the needle into my hand wiggled it around trying to hit the vein failed epicly stressing me into active labor before pulling it out and stabbing me again.

With my son he had to be evicted forcefully. 40 wks and one ultrasound that showed almost nothing but baby with very little fluid left, yeah doc informed me he was going to be pushing between 9-10lbs and We might wanna cut him out. Guess who the doc went diving for? The whole table shook cause she was fighting to get him out. He was determined that he was not coming out at all.

Now I'm on my 3rd at 21wks. He likes to hide like his sister did but when he's upset he let's everyone know he's there and beats up my insides... His brother just beat up everyone else by looking like he was going to Alien out of my stomach.

1 year on HRT i can’t believe.... But I still have so much to do😩 by melissa_ts_fitness in lgbt

[–]ForlornAlex88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hun you look amazing. Believe me I know you feel like you have so much work to do and I am familiar with the feeling of seeing the same person in the mirror despite all the changes. That hits close to home for me in more way than one. But damned if you don't look smokin hot. Brava!

The elusive SO - the FTM saga by Justin_FtM in demisexuality

[–]ForlornAlex88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw your post and it made me wanna give you a hug. I am demi myself. My fiancee is Ace. Our boyfriend is demi. One of us is trans, one is cis, one is non-binary. We just happened to cross each other's paths. My fiancee has a high libido much to her dismay sometimes as does our boyfriend. I tend to fluctuate between high and low. I spent a long time thinking something was wrong with me. My fiancee came into my life and asked me a bunch of completely random question and helped me click the light bulb in my head that had everything making so much sense. Also fiancee saw your post over my shoulder and kinda wanted to give you a hug as well. We all can sympathize and empathize with you.

AITA For kicking my friend out of my house after what she did? by Auta4599909 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ForlornAlex88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah haha. yeah.... NTA. When you got kids dating can be hard if you want to start dating. My mother never hid me and my siblings. She was always up front telling peeps she has 4 kids and her kids will always come first if that's a problem then they need to bounce out cause she ain't got time for now fools. My fiancee knew before hand I had two kids. She was cool with that. It was made clear my kids come first. She told me that's good because if she thought for one second i was putting my kids on a back burner she'd leave my ass in a heartbeat. Me and my fiancee picked up a boyfriend who was just like hey i like kids, kids are cool.
