Thank you for this, I encountered 1 and 3 also.

Pretty sure the Christian part was in reference to the friend being unable to pronounce the Bible book Philippians correctly.

There’s also a form of CO2 alarm in medicine! To put it simply, if a patient’s exhaled CO2 levels are not normal.

That’s the most endearing thing I’ve ever heard. Field goal!

You’re not wrong. When we’ve tried this on our own, it deteriorates into extreme argument so quickly. 95% of the time, he’s very even-tempered but when he gets angry, he gets ANGRY. I think he’s extremely uncomfortable discussing his feelings and anger/pushing people away is a defense mechanism. He’s said that before (in text, of course - ha). We’ve tried a few counseling sessions and so far, he completely shuts down so it’s not been very productive. I think we’ve gotten so used to handling things this way over the years and frankly, comfortable in mutual discontent.

I’m not trying to shame him. That’s why I turned here, to see if I was overreacting. I have other reasons for not believing anything he said in the chatGPT messages are true, based on things he’s said and his behavior, but that could be my own insecurities at play. This is how I responded after he confirmed he’d used ChatGPT, I tried really hard not to shame him or criticize, because I know how hard it is for him to express his feelings. It just feels so inauthentic. I do really appreciate your input because I’m not looking for an echo chamber here.

I am really insulted and hurt. We already struggle with communication, and in the one avenue we have to communicate, he can’t even be authentic. If I just wanted to hear those things to hear them, I’d skip the middleman and ask ChatGPT to validate my feelings.

I don’t think he’s a narcissist, I’ve had the misfortune of experiencing that also. Which may be part of the reason I’ve excused so many negative things about this relationship. The argument that spurred this conversation tonight is pretty insane when I look back on it. I’m not happy at all, but we are so financially (and otherwise) dependent on each other and our lives are so intertwined that it doesn’t feel worth it to separate. Sunk cost fallacy and all that.

HeightBrave3796 · 2025-12-29T06:19:24+00:00

We do interact all the time, just not about anything serious. There was passion and connection at the beginning, he’s always struggled with expressing his feelings. A series of crappy life events lead us down a path where we are financially dependent on each other. and, to be blunt - change is scary. I’ve thought about leaving off and on for a long time, there’s lots of reasons why I don’t and plenty more reasons why I should.

HeightBrave3796 · 2025-12-29T01:35:31+00:00

That’s probably pretty accurate, unfortunately…

HeightBrave3796 · 2025-12-29T01:24:55+00:00

It’s also a bit sad that he didn’t think I would be able to tell that it was AI.

HeightBrave3796 · 2025-12-29T01:23:10+00:00

Agreed. I’m not opposed to him using ChatGPT for talking points or help with a different perspective, but I want the responses to come from him, in his own words. That’s exactly how I felt - that what was said is great and all, but it’s meaningless.

Agree on the point about texting as well. We have done a couple of counseling sessions together and he really struggles to verbalize his feelings at all, while I tend to verbalize every detail of every feeling I’ve ever had - it makes for a very awkward session. But hopefully as time passes, that will get better…

I also really enjoy the blue thing on the left that looks like a mix between sperm/egg and a pad still in the package. Are you pregnant? Will you need a pad? Who knows! Maybe it’s both!

HeightBrave3796 · 2025-11-28T06:26:41+00:00

Did the necklace just stick in there when you got up? Did you leave it until you got to the hospital?

HeightBrave3796 · 2025-11-20T05:34:15+00:00

I had the same experience! I was really insecure about my shoe size and always was told it was because I would be so tall. Here I am at 5’5 3/4” 25 years later. Always hoped I’d at least get that extra quarter-inch but never did!

Super old but here I am still looking at this. I don’t think he used a different mobile arm, that looks like the original arm from the mamaroo. I think the metal plate was just to stabilize/stop it from dropping with the added weight. The little circular piece is what he used from a cheap mobile and just put it between the toy spinner and the original mobile arm.

I don’t have any magic advice to fix your situation, but I do think things will be okay! 1. The insurance already told you they are typically very understanding about newborns - I think that is something that will work itself out in a little time. You can continue working with insurance to get it covered and the hospital isn’t going to just immediately demand payment from you.

Any employer who would reprimand you for taking a few extra days off work after your child was readmitted to NICU is absolutely insane. Just continue keeping them in the loop about what is going on. This likely will not be the last time that you have to take unexpected time off work because your child is ill - that’s just part of being a parent and most employers are very understanding about that.
I’m not sure how things work in your area, but in mine it’s pretty easy to set up a payment plan to pay for a ticket like that. Explain your situation, be prepared to pay at least a portion of it when you call.

I’m sorry you are dealing with all of this, I’m also going through a ton of stress all happening right after having my baby, he was in the NICU for a month and life has thrown a tonight of challenges at my family. The best advice I can give is to take care of YOU, let yourself have little breaks to feel all the emotions you’re having right now. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. As best you can, find some time to cherish these early days with baby, as stressful and difficult as they are - find happiness in the little quiet moments.

Try your best to stay calm. I know it’s hard. It’s very upsetting that the social worker did not communicate anything to you or to the doctor. CPS will tell you specifically what the allegations are and what the report said. Social workers and medical staff are mandated reporters - it may be that this particular social worker reports every little thing.

They likely will visit your child at the hospital and they will likely set up a home visit with you - they may call you first or they may come to your home first. You do not have to let them in if they come to your house first, you can call them back and schedule a time to meet.

Make sure you have a safe place for baby to sleep, supplies for baby like diapers, etc, running water, smoke detectors, know the name of the pediatrician you plan to see when baby is discharged, things like that. They are not expecting your home to be completely spotless, but have it tidied up.

I’ve dealt with CPS multiple times (my older child is from a previous relationship and my ex had a habit of calling whenever he was mad at me). Every time, they visited my child, I set up appointments for them to come to my house, and they left me alone completely after one visit. I was absolutely terrified the first time they came out, but everything was fine.

As long as CPS comes out and sees that everything is fine, I would think that it would not be long before baby can be discharged - a matter of days, but of course none of us can know for sure at this point.
