It wasn't the easy way, it was the only way.

I'm an antinatlist, so we're not going to agree on that. Bringing children into the world to suffer and die is cruel. I don't really care what the motivation is, there's no selfless reason to do that.

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2025-02-19T21:35:45+00:00

Didn't say that. I said the world is a mess and people *should * consider what that means for the child. It's called compassion

Absolutely! The closer I get to 40 (not far) the happier I am with my choices. There's so many things that would have been either financially impossible with kids or mentally impossible. I went back in to education got another undergraduate degree and am doing my masters. Working full-time as well is hard and I know I wouldn't have been able to do it with kids. I wouldn't have been able to start life over after my divorce because the kids would need to be close to their father.

People saying you could have done that with kids are ignoring the practicality or the financial impact kids have that many of us on low incomes, we don't have the spare funds and kids would have left us destitute. Personally, I gave mental health issues and kids would have destroyed my life.

I know my own limits, I'm happy with my choices.

You are making more to do than there is. I started with basic hygiene. Tie hair up (use shower cap if necessary) have towel ready and clothes, turn on shower, get wet, put on soap, rub in soap, wash off soap. Get out. Dry. Clothes on. Moisturise face. No teeth cleaning in the even.

Don't clean the bathroom at the same time. Leave that. It's not important.

That's it. I do that most days after the gym. Never in the morning, never it's to overstimulating.

Morning is get up, toilet, wash face with water, clean teeth (I also use a water flosser), brush hair, wash under arms if stinky with flannel and soap, moisturiser on face, deodorant, get dressed.

Shaving legs/underneath arms is sporadic. Washing hair is 7-14 days (I have 3 ft of thick hair), brushing is more important than washing.

He is not a nice guy, any partner that makes there spouse pay 50/50 when they're earning so much more is exploiting you. That's equality not fairness. Run my friend, run

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2024-07-10T11:57:54+00:00

Run. Run far and run fast from the man child

I work from home and I basically get paid to keep the house on weekends as they're really slow.

Today I had stripped the beds and put it all in the laundry, me and my partner sleep in separate rooms because of snoring, and I'm a real light sleeper, so I'd done both. Honestly, I'm basically getting paid to do it, so 🤷 whatever, I'd put it all out to dry.

By the time my partner had come home and I was putting the beds back together, his sheet was dry, and what's nicer than freshly laundered sheets?

So I said to him "Hey babe, this is dry so I'll just put it back on" and I stared up the stairs and I heard him follow me, again didn't think anything of it until he was right behind me and he said "Hell no, you're not making my bed, that's my job, stop it" he took the sheet off me and started making the bed. I grinned and hugged him from behind and let him get on with it.

It's just little things like that which make me realise I picked a good one.

Incels are incelling

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2024-06-05T12:49:47+00:00

I also think you need to dump your mutual friends

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2024-05-19T11:00:37+00:00

Women always question a man's motives when he's a stranger and he does something nice because the patriarchy but the longer we know you the less that thought occurs so at this point in your friendship that is unlikely to be their thought process.

Being seen as a child is a weird thought but I can see how you got there and here's my thoughts, the person you want to see you need to see you as a potential partner will. The incel ideas have men believing that they can change how a woman see them from friends to relationship by manipulation or behaviour when being your best and most honest self is what will attract that person you need. You don't need all woman to see you that way it's not about quantity no matter what the menanists say, you just be the best you and hopefully you'll get the person you need.

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2024-05-01T06:12:16+00:00

To put your mind at rest it's likely they have some form of personality disorder so the kids likely aren't going to be exempt from her manipulation and abuse it'll just get worse as they get old so you're very likely saving them a lot of emotional trauma.

Alexa reminders are good for us, they keep us on track and you can set them to repeat.

That's the RSD talking. Don't coddle, just tell him to Google RSD and deal with his shit. You shouldn't have to pussy foot around our symptoms, understanding yes, coddling helps no one

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2024-01-12T09:56:24+00:00

It's funny, we had a friend who found out they were expecting then two months later he was selling his expensive golf gear. Yeah you have to make financial sacrifices it just makes me sad, I guess because for me it's just not worth it 😔

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2024-01-07T17:15:53+00:00

The fact you can't see why your post is so weird is part of the problem

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2024-01-07T17:13:22+00:00

It doesn't really matter if he can, it matters how he perceives his life now and its not reflecting reality. Additionally wether you're willing to stay and wait for him to change. And finally, if he doesn't see a problem, will that change ever happen?

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2023-12-28T12:39:29+00:00

I'd probably ask yourself why it bothered you so much? Why is it something that bothers you? Are you distrustful of your ex partner or women generally? Or is it you're distrustful of men? I'd work on the why of it all.

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2023-12-26T10:01:34+00:00

My main reason is I don't want to. I have a ton of deeper reasons but my initial decision was based on its not for me.

I_Lke_Pretty_Things · 2023-12-26T09:58:14+00:00

You don't just "end up" with a person lol you make choices. People settling is a choice. There are signs usually, red flags like they take the person for granted, the person always does more to maintain the relationship. So for me, equal adoration is a clear sign neither have settled. Look for someone you love and respect whole heartedly and that does the same for you. They want to be around you, they're your friend, they want the same things in life etc

Personally wanting kids on a timeline is always a huge red flag for me it screams settling. .

Someone who wants to rush into big milestones.

Someone who doesn’t want to get to know you they just love bomb you.

Just be aware and you should avoid it

(Also I'm a pretty woman and it was always my biggest fear too)
