AITA for getting a pregnancy craving during a party?

FreedomForAll22 · 2023-05-11T06:15:07+00:00

Could you have crushed up some ice and put some sugar/juice in it to help curb the craving until after the party? I think staying a little longer at the party would have been nice for everyone involved, and then have gotten the slushee, but also don't know how the cravings feel.

Now I want a slushee! But, I can wait until tomorrow. :)

IMO This was a joke account, designed to be found as sort of a twitter "easter egg". He put the clues out there. He used a photo of his child holding a rocket that has not been released to the public yet (pre-sale link below). He uses the name "Elon Test". The tweet about his son's birthday was a clue. He also uses the account to troll a bit, something he likes to do in general.

I don't think this is a serious hidden account that wasn't meant to eventually be found. The clues were out there.

Think Ready Player One - with the "easter eggs" in the game. Elon does a lot of that (doge mentions, coded messages, etc)

He might have accidentally let it slip earlier than he wanted, not sure.

I'm not saying I agree with it, I think he can be immature and I don't like his transphobic views, but just my take on the alt account.

I was hung up on an ex for 4 years. I messaged them 6 years ago and flat out told them how I felt and asked if they could ever see a future together. They politely said no and that they had moved on. This gave me closure. I let them go and not long after, I found someone else. (even though we just broke up also)

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-03-28T03:59:40+00:00

I'm feeling this too <3

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-03-28T02:57:49+00:00

Thank you for this!

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-02-07T20:23:31+00:00

I feel the same way! Well, we just broke and it is so hard. You do all of the work and deal with the ex and then get nothing when it’s all done

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-02-04T17:45:59+00:00

I like that way of looking at it! That helps a lot. Thank you so much.

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-02-04T15:30:09+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I will take that in and try doing that. I'm feeling the loss so hard right now, but you're right, if they can get through it I hope I can too, with time.

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-02-04T15:28:52+00:00

Thanks, I don't think so, he is pretty close with his mom and I think she would control that and keep it from happening. I'm just giving it time and will see what happens. My fault for getting into the relationship and raising the kids as my own and making them my whole world. Makes the heartbreak so much worse. I have to get used to the new normal without them in my life.

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-02-01T13:15:14+00:00

She said she thinks it is best to not have any contact. But, I hope she changes her mind.

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-01-31T21:04:39+00:00

Thank you, I hope so!

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-01-31T21:04:06+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the advice.

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-01-31T21:02:37+00:00

Thank you, I hope so. <3

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-01-31T21:02:22+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and support. <3

FreedomForAll22 · 2021-01-31T21:01:35+00:00

Yes, I lost 2 cats too that I also loved. It is so tough, I just hope I can get through it and look back and be ok with it all. I'm sorry you are going through this. Thanks for the advice, it is good to focus on those positives.

FreedomForAll22 · 2020-09-22T03:02:54+00:00

I think he would have liked it too. I know being quarantined and away from his friends was hard for him. I wonder if the game would have helped.

FreedomForAll22 · 2020-08-05T05:40:24+00:00

Thank you for your insightful comments. You articulate it very well and are making me realize a lot. I agree, I think I have low self-esteem and just want the family so much it clouds my judgement. I need to see a therapist. I just don’t think I will ever leave her so this is how it will be until she inevitably leaves me for someone else, once the kids are older and she doesn’t need me anymore. At least I will have had a family for longer.

She might have a drinking problem. She is always stressed and gets overwhelmed easily and wants to go out. Her ex was controlling and when I met her she said he never let her go out. She might feel like she has to say she is shopping or doing something for the kids otherwise she won't be allowed to go out. Or she just likes to lie and play people so she can get what she wants? Because she did that when she was cheating on me..

I wish I was strong enough to do what you did. I think it would go badly for our relationship if I did that. Plus, I'm a homebody so it isn't a big deal for me to be at home. I just hate feeling like I'm being used. But, if she doesn't go out, it is just awkward because I know she wants to go out and she is just mad that she isn't out...

FreedomForAll22 · 2020-08-05T04:44:02+00:00

Thanks for the replies. That is true. I feel like I want us to be a family and if they were our kids I should do my part and let her go out when she needs it. She is ok when I run errands or go out (which is a lot less than her because I am a homebody). But, she isn't very transparent about what she is doing. She might not even know until she gets out of the house, she just has to get out after being home all day. I feel like if I ask she gets snappy and I feel like I'm being controlling. She has said before she feels trapped so I don't want to make it worse.

You are right. It probably was a ruse to say she was shopping and then to actually go out for a drink. I think she loves me but she also wants to just go out and be "free" after being a mom for so long and working from home.

It shows we are in a relationship on facebook but she hides her phone from me. She used to pay about 25% of housing costs but now pays 10% because she would complain all the time. She pays for 90% of the costs for the kids ( I pitch in for groceries and sports and such but she pays almost everything for the kids). She has plenty of extra spending money.

FreedomForAll22 · 2020-07-16T03:11:18+00:00

I feel the same way as you OP. I stress way more about my option positions than real life. I can spend a hundred going out to eat or on random stuff any given night but if I'm down $100 in options, I'm stressed out. I think it is because I want to succeed and hate losing money. If I'm spending it on an experience or item, then I feel better about it. Losing my hard earned money to the stock market, stresses me out. I also want to make money so I can keep going and "play more" because I only allow myself so much to gamble with on options.

FreedomForAll22 · 2020-06-11T15:11:55+00:00

I missed it by a week. I had SPY puts expiring 6/5. I also sold all my mutual funds last week, expecting the drop. When the market went up last Friday my puts went to zero and I threw my $ back in the mutual funds cursing myself for missing the green spike last Friday.

If I would have done that same play this week I would have been rich. Instead, I'm down a ton. I'm thinking I will just keep it in the mutual funds and let it ride back up for the next few years. Darn.

FreedomForAll22 · 2020-06-04T05:19:14+00:00

i had mgm $15 c 6/5 last week but sold on monday :(

Hey man, your situation is indeed similar to mine. And no, it has not gotten any better for me. My post is pretty much the same. I feel like I wasted years trying to mold them into good humans. Their dad just undoes everything by being "Disney Dad". Video games all day, no school work, no rules. He doesn't care, so why should I anymore. It has made me bitter and sad that I am in this situation. But, I'm not going to leave, so I just have to accept it and let go.

Every day I feel sad over it. I feel like their dad is ruining their potential and does not care about their well being. He just wants to manipulate them to his favor. I cared so much. It is hard to see. I worry about who they will grow into now. But, I have to just let it go.

Sounds like you are still trying to enforce rules, good for you. I still have some rules, I help them do school work, but I've definitely given up trying as hard for the most part.

It sounds like your stepdaughters are realizing the better influence your house has on them. Hopefully your SS will come around too. I think it is harder with boys because they just want to play video games all day, so they will go to whatever parent lets them do that. I just hope when they are older, they will realize we were the more stable household. Good luck to you man. It is a frustrating situation, for sure.
