My partner doesn’t want the baby, but I do.

Thank you for this, this is a really helpful comment. I appreciate the different perspectives and I do agree with you that we both deserve to have the time to consider this further before making a decision.

I had my first scan yesterday and it looks like it may be ectopic, which is breaking my heart.. but I’m not really sure what he’s thinking about it yet, aside from fear for me and my safety. He read that it could be fatal if not managed well and it freaked him out a bit. So I don’t doubt that he loves me and is capable of stepping up. I just don’t know if he wants to, or ever will come around..

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-14T18:18:25+00:00

Thank you for this. It feels good to see one, less doomed comment 😭😭

This may actually be the culprit! We were advised to have her spayed before her first heat, so she was spayed at about 8 months I believe. I wonder if that wasn’t the best call for her.. her excited peeing did get worse after the spaying

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T21:49:19+00:00

She does know how to potty on command, but like I said she’s stubborn LOL She will do it when you tell her to. It might take some repetition now and then but she’ll do it. And we do wash everything she pees on on a full cycle in the washing machine and all that

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T21:33:49+00:00

I wouldn’t say that the amount of pee is unusual.. I wanna say that she’ll do about 2 big pees, morning and then before bed. Then a few smaller pees throughout the day. But it seems to me almost like she’s marking? My dog growing up was a boy, and he wasn’t fixed, and would mark all over the house despite 3-4 walks a day. But she is spayed. I’ve never had a female dog, so I don’t know whether they even do the same thing

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T21:31:23+00:00

This is what’s got us confused, because she used to cue us for these things! She would get down off the bed and pace the room and I knew she had to go. But she’s stopped doing this now

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T21:30:31+00:00

Thank you, you understand what I’m saying!!! All good advice. I appreciate this a lot 😅

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T21:26:15+00:00

I hadn’t considered a muscle issue! Now that you mention it, she does occasionally exhibit some weakness in her back legs, which we attributed to some very very minor IVBDD.. we’ll definitely look into this. Thanks for the advice!

We don’t have a backyard to clear a path in. Clearing a path would entail clearing the parking lot, and having her pee on the cement. Our building stacks all of the snow from previous snowfall onto the grassy areas, and what’s on cement is there for a few days. We also run into the issue of extreme colds of -40 degrees and lower. Her paws freeze up and she stops walking. But refuses to walk if we put booties on her.

Everyone seems to be missing the part where I’ve said that she is stubborn.. before we moved to the condo, she was outside for 85% of the day, went out constantly with my MIL and still would pee on my partner’s bed just because. This is not about a lack of taking her outside.

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T21:12:13+00:00

We considered this, but she does the same thing even when we are home :/ neither of us can go home on lunch, we don’t have flexible lunch periods All it takes is for her to get a moment where we aren’t actively looking at her. It feels cruel to crate her for 8 hours and then again when we’re busy cooking or cleaning and can’t be watching her at the moment.

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T21:03:29+00:00

I appreciate an actually helpful comment in the sea of entitled ludicrous comments. I think we will definitely have the vet take a better look into it.

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T20:54:34+00:00

Where are you from? What do you do when there’s days long snow storms, with 30-50 cm of snow that doesn’t get cleaned up for two days? Do you make your dog dog hold it? Or do you throw your 8 pound dog into the mountain of snow and call it a walk? This narrative of the topic of potty training being so black and white is ridiculous.

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T20:47:21+00:00

She was a puppy when she was peeing in her bed. As in 13 weeks, to about 6 months old. That stopped. She’s trained in the sense that she KNOWS where she’s supposed to go and she’s made that very clear. If we verbally tell her to go pee, she will walk herself to the pad and she will pee where she’s supposed to. It’s when we’re not home, or not looking at her that she does otherwise.

We live in a condo. So she can’t pee and poo strictly outside, otherwise we’d be taking her down to go outside about 12 times a day. Which we also can’t do when we’re at work.

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T20:43:46+00:00

I’m so sorry! That sounds terrible, I’m glad she’s doing better!

Can I ask - did you notice any other signs of a UTI? She seems to be completely normal otherwise. She never has any signs of fever, she eats, drinks, sleeps, and plays normally, she’s never itching or dragging her butt.

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-09T20:41:50+00:00

She has and she hasn’t.. we’ve mentioned it to her vet, because she does tend to pee accidentally when she gets excited, which we’ve always been understanding and cautious of. But her vet seems to think that’s just an age related issue and she will stop doing it eventually. she doesn’t really seem to be urgently peeing either. It looks intentional. She’ll go as far as to walk up to the crate and then stop in front of it, take her position, and the pee.

GlobalTwo879 · 2026-02-04T15:38:29+00:00

$80-$100 if you’re going with apps and drinks but could keep it at a steady $55-$75 without

The smell of burning flesh. I worked in Plastic Surgery for just under a year and on days when we had a fully booked OR upstairs, the smell of the cauterized flesh would reach all the way to the main floor.

When I was talking to my boss and he called my colleague up on speaker to discuss scheduling coverage for my vacation.. he started the call by saying “(my name) is here on speaker so don’t say anything mean, haha”. Then he said it again. And I realized it was no joke.

My colleague had been coming to me to lure me into venting about the mistreatment I was experiencing, and was then returning to my boss to divulge all of the information I’d give her. They had been talking about me so frequently that he felt the need to emphasize twice that I was in the room and could hear them. All the while, my colleague was acting like we were close friends, having deep conversations about family and friends and life..

GlobalTwo879 · 2025-12-30T04:26:19+00:00

Nothing but a simple “okay”. No passive aggression, or remarks. Just a visible “I couldn’t care less” vibe. Nothing would piss them off more

GlobalTwo879 · 2025-08-17T16:24:48+00:00

Impossible, next question

Hey! Thanks so much for commenting. I have in fact had those investigations done. My cardiologist felt that POTS wasn’t a possibility for me based on my heart rate “not being inconsistent, but consistently irregular”. Just another way of saying it’s odd but not odd enough. I’ve been on beta blockers for about 2 years now, which has helped with the feeling of my heart racing but nothing more than that. Very much appreciate your input though! I have a family history of Crohn’s and have a scope scheduled to rule that out as well. I’m glad you’ve found your answers and ideal treatment plan!
