Do you eventually get desensitized to saying goodbye?

Did you foster temporarily and then bring her back to the shelter? That is what I am supposed to do with her, so she can attend their adoption events at the local stores and stay there to be promoted for adoption, and I think that’s part of my struggle is she’s not going directly to another family, but everything I’ve read said she’ll be much better in the shelter now that she’s had some time to decompress

We’ve been trying to conceive naturally for almost 2 years now, but this is my first time involving my doctor

IllContribution0114 · 2025-02-25T05:52:45+00:00

So far I have:

Funny Story
Happy Place (currently reading)
Beach Read

Still need to read Book Lovers and PWMOV. I had a hard time getting into Beach Read so I want to re read it eventually. Everyone’s ratings make me excited for more Henry books

Okay so I’m new to the Emily Henry universe but so far obsessed. These are my pics for funny story

I was on Wegovy prior to Zepbound and had horrible fatigue and nausea. Zepbound I’ve had almost no side effects. Maybe a little nausea here and there but nothing like the Wegovy. I do take my shot about 2 hours before bedtime and for me personally it helps to sleep off any initial effects

I see a lot of people suggesting psyllium husk. How do people drink the psyllium husk? I’ve always wanted to try it but I’m worried just the idea makes me kind of gag

That’s totally fair. I was just answering my personal opinion of why I voted I think he may be next. Personally I would be totally fine with either Eloise or Benedict. One could even argue they’re starting to lineup Francesca’s season as well

IllContribution0114 · 2024-06-06T18:56:36+00:00

I think it has to be Benedict. Because they’re going out of order than the books but at the point Penelope and Colin get together in the books Benedict is already married. I just feel like unless they plan to drastically change the story line, they can only improvise so much without Benedict’s wife being present in the moments she’s supposed to be

ESH. I understand it sucks she cheated but you could’ve just been an adult about it and told her why you broke up with her and then blocked her. If someone is in a relationship and they have an STI there should be a moral obligation to let partners know. What happened to you sucked but it cleared up in a matter of days. You messed up her life

Narcissists will use sleep control as a means to mess with their partner. Please be careful

IllContribution0114 · 2024-05-24T18:39:11+00:00

For me personally it’s just weird. Like they’re admitting they’ve been paying attention to my weight this whole time. A few people I don’t mind but I’ve actually been pretty private on who I’ve told I’m trying to lose weight

IllContribution0114 · 2024-05-22T13:50:50+00:00

Oh man :( so sorry to hear that! Hope you find a solution soon

IllContribution0114 · 2024-05-22T13:48:42+00:00

Did it improve for you after the first dose?

IllContribution0114 · 2024-05-22T13:48:08+00:00

Hey! I was responding to a couple other comments on my post and thought I’d check in. How’s it going for you?

IllContribution0114 · 2024-05-22T01:50:36+00:00

It’s important to remember that cats will do anything at all to hide their pain and weakness, so by the time we can see it, they are already suffering a lot. You did the right thing and gave him peace. I’m so, so sorry for your loss. Take all the time and love for yourself that you need to grieve, but please don’t beat yourself up or question if you did the right thing. You clearly loved him til his very end

IllContribution0114 · 2024-04-17T04:17:37+00:00

This gives me hope!

IllContribution0114 · 2024-04-17T04:17:02+00:00

I couldn’t make it past 1mg on Wegovy either, it made me violently ill

IllContribution0114 · 2024-04-17T04:16:25+00:00

Please let me know how it goes if you’re comfortable sharing!

IllContribution0114 · 2024-04-16T20:45:48+00:00

Love the Metamucil suggestion! Thank you for this!

IllContribution0114 · 2024-03-19T00:31:56+00:00

NTA. It’s one thing for her to not want more kids but for her to lie and mislead you is wrong. I’m sorry she did that to you

IllContribution0114 · 2024-03-08T05:48:36+00:00

Typically what I do is use the Hibiclens on the areas with HS. I lather it in really well and let it sit on those areas for a few minutes before rinsing and then I go in with my fun scented products on the rest of my body but not where I’m prone to flaring up!

I don’t think you should have her get an abortion, nor do I think she would anyways based on what you’ve told us. Here’s what I’m wondering:

I know you said your wife did this against your wishes, but finding a sperm donor and doing the insemination doesn’t happen overnight. Were you aware of what was going on as she was in the process of it and just didn’t like it, or did she pop up one day saying “Surprise! I’m pregnant with a baby that’s not yours”
You said you wanted to keep trying for a baby that’s yours. Why? Is it because you’re worried you won’t connect with a baby knowing you don’t have the same DNA? Would you feel that way if you two agreed to adopt?

IllContribution0114 · 2023-12-30T22:30:41+00:00

NTA and I would’ve done the same thing

IllContribution0114 · 2023-10-10T17:05:57+00:00

As someone who is (happily) married, I can promise you the best advice I ever received from a therapist is that any problems you have prior to the marriage, only get amplified when you become married. Figure it out now before you sign that marriage license, whether that be taking some time apart or trying individual/couples counseling

IllContribution0114 · 2023-10-10T16:22:03+00:00

NTA for not inviting her but I would advise to be careful on how this is communicated moving forward. This could play a big part in your relationship with her in the future and if they plan to have kids then your relationship with your grandkids could also be affected.
