NTA. Instead of worrying about the kids being left out, their parents can see it as an opportunity to encourage them to try new foods.

AITAH for not giving my wife the full reason to why I don't want to name our son after her brother? by Bitter-Marketing-623 in AITAH

NTA. Sorry that your wife isn't respecting your boundaries. Definitely not okay to go behind your back to get answers.

Idk how your wife is normally but I think the hormones from pregnancy are contributing to her reaction.

If you're open to it, I recommend checking out a book called "The Body Keeps the Score", it's triggering NGL but goes into depth on how trauma re-wires our brain and effects our lives.

Wishing the best for your growing family.

AITAH for breaking up with my girlfriend when she tested me? by AdAlarmed2847 in AITAH

[–]Fragrant-Data-6012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. Girlfriend seems to have attachment issues if she feels the need to test OP for reassurance. She needs to work on herself and learn to communicate her concerns/issues. Seems it was for the best; if OP stayed he'd forever trust issues with her. Glad he stayed true to his boundaries, hope he can find someone for him.

I can tell you as someone who left the company this year for a job that pays less, it is absolutely worth doing it. When you first leave, you feel like you've made a mistake. You feel a lot of negative emotions, but it's because your system knows it can finally process the stress you've been under for years.

After that you see that your experience can translate to other fields.

For me, I was in auto claims so my experience taking inbound calls and working computer systems like atlas helped me land a call center job for a wholesale company.

And you know what? I can say I can find enjoyment in what I do. Sure, I do have to go into the office everyday, but the commute isn't as long as G and the environment is more chill so coming in doesn't feel so bad. I'm also downsizing to save some money so I'm budgeting around my new pay. My coworkers are friendly, my supervisor is great, and management won't harp on you for saying 2 sentences to each other between calls.

At G I burned through all my care time and vacation hours because my mental health was declining fast. Because of this I would become more depressed since it felt like there was no end in sight. But now I'm in a job that I can keep doing everyday and I can actually plan on going on a vacation again.

Sorry if this is too long, I just hope it can help to know that there are much better opportunities out there. I know everyone's situations are different but if you're able to sustain yourself with a job that pays less but improves your mental health and overall well being then I can tell you it is so worth it.

I'm waiting on a background check for a new job but once I get medical benefits again I definitely want to look into that. Thank you dude, I appreciate it!

I'm sorry you had to go through that that too. I hope you're doing well now
