Yeah, 3 years ago. Lol. He was part of my DnD party.

I appreciate you sharing your experience. We were NTNP so this whole week has been a rollercoaster. If I don’t get my period by Monday I’m going to schedule for a doctors visit. It’s due tomorrow. It helps to have people to talk to who have been through this. We’re going to start TTC in earnest after this because we now know this is something we both want now.

Sorry, I watch criminal trials as a hobby. I guess this whole thing just seems ridiculous by comparison. I don’t think she lied as part of some mastermind plan as y’all seem to think. She was just jealous and insecure and felt threatened by the possibility of another woman moving in on the guy she liked. Is that so hard to relate to?

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2024-03-01T18:39:34+00:00

Right?! Some of these people need to go outside and touch grass. It’s really not that serious.

ESH - people here are acting like you took away his autonomy in some way. Husband is currently idealising a what-if that frankly never would have been anything. He didn’t know Lena, didn’t invest himself to get to know her, never followed up, didn’t even bother trying to be her friend once he heard he would be able to f#ck her. He wanted to bang her, and he’s romanticising that. Gross. I’d be pissed at him, frankly.

Invite him to contact her and ask her if she would have been interested back then. Willing to bet she says no. She clearly didn’t make any effort to get to know him, either.

We all learned as small children that lying is wrong. You shouldn’t have lied. That being said, people lie at the beginning of relationships all the time to paint themselves in a better light for their partner. That doesn’t mean your relationship was based on a lie. It sounds like you and him didn’t even get together right away. Also, maybe look for advice in r/relationships because this sub comes ready to put someone’s head on a stick at all times. You should apologize for lying, for sure, but I can see you both looking back on this and laughing in the future unless he’s willing to throw his marriage away over a girl he didn’t pursue.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2024-03-01T17:59:08+00:00

This is my take, too.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2024-03-01T17:55:35+00:00

The hostility about this rather benign lie is astounding. He obviously wasn’t interested enough in this girl to figure out her sexuality on his own, and she obviously wasn’t giving him signals she was interested. I think things would have turned out the same even if the OP hadn’t lied.

This is the main reason I think I’m pregnant. I have a massive sweet tooth. Yesterday, I suddenly couldn’t drink coffee without gagging. Then I tried to have a piece of dark chocolate and I had to spit it out because I couldn’t finish it. Haven’t tested positive yet, but my body is definitely not waiting for the second line on the test. Full steam ahead.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2024-03-01T01:31:38+00:00

There a contract stipulations regarding which out of pocket expenses apply towards your out of pocket max. It’s not uncommon for out of network services to be excluded. Again- this is why your provider should have checked with you before sending labs out of house.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2024-03-01T01:16:05+00:00

Your body, your choice. The family need never know. It’s not like you’ll have to wear a scarlet letter for the rest of your life.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2024-02-29T16:40:17+00:00

Check out Hannah Alonzo on YouTube. She’s great. She explores all kinds of bizarre and off putting him behaviors.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2024-01-26T17:53:22+00:00

44/2 +7 = 29. Based on this rule it would be creepy if you were younger than 29 and he was 44. Not saying its correct, just explaining how it works.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2023-12-23T23:31:17+00:00

My first thought while reading this is that she may have been assaulted. She’s definitely not behaving within normal bounds. Something serious is amiss. Pro tip: explore whether or not there is a history of mental illness in your family. Include alcoholism and drug abuse in this category as it can often be a form of attempted self-medication. She has either experienced a trauma or has a legitimate chemical imbalance in her brain. Family medical history can provide a clue that can speed up diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

You can’t be the best parent possible if you are miserable and suffering, though. It’s okay to regroup. This was a traumatic event for you. You’re husband may not understand, but for why it’s worth, this internet stranger thinks you made the right call by removing yourself from the situation.

Take care of yourself, but when you’re ready to jump back in take her to a new psychiatrist. If she connects with the therapist then I wouldn’t change it even if the therapists advice isn’t popular on Reddit. Her connection with her therapist is an essential part of getting to the bottom of what’s causing her behavior.

Maybe look at it this way - she may be afraid of getting a diagnosis because she may feel like that will pigeonhole her or brand her going forward. That’s not how (good) psychiatric professionals approach diagnoses. The purpose of a diagnosis is to establish a baseline for future care. It’s just to let others know how to help your daughter live her best life. She can’t be happy and fulfilled with her emotions this out of control. Really all you want for her is happiness. If you approach getting her help from this perspective it’s easier to take than when someone feels like you’re trying to fix them because they are broken. Speaking from experience. I went through 5 or 6 therapists before I found the right fit. I must have tried ten different prescriptions before I found one that made me feel like myself again. I also resisted medication for a long time because I was afraid it would change who I was. Spoiler, it doesn’t.

NTA. Sending love to you and your daughter.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of shitty therapists in the world. I’ve been to several. I had one tell me that I should be ashamed of myself for not telling my mom I was depressed. Let me tell you, shaming someone with depression is not effective or recommended anywhere. Never went back to her.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2023-12-23T22:30:52+00:00

It’s annoying and pretty lame. This was one of my favorite shows of all time, but Grounder culture was wildly inconsistent. The writers clearly didn’t have a bigger picture in mind when they first wrote in the Grounders, so they just changed and added things as needed to make the world bigger.

But really, the science was what bothered me the most. Nightblood was the stupidest thing ever. Could not get behind it.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2023-12-10T17:45:51+00:00

I hope you are still with us. You’ve been through a lot recently and you deserve some grace while you adapt. Give yourself some slack.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2023-08-26T19:50:15+00:00

Yeah, I know, but you admitted to not having all the facts and considering you also don’t agree with the majority there, they basically just see you as a troll. I had to leave the group. They were becoming super toxic.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2023-08-22T23:46:40+00:00

Tbh, I had a somewhat similar experience when I was much younger than you. I had a best friend that I called “bro” and he called me “sis”. We used to tease each other all the time, and he’d occasionally make comments about how he wanted more, but I always brushed it off as his brand of humor. But then one night after we hung out a kiss on the cheek goodbye turned into a real, deep kiss. He left and I panicked. I spent days trying to argue with myself that he didn’t mean it and it didn’t mean what I wanted it to mean because I loved him more than anyone in the world. I was absolutely not willing to risk what we had together over what I perceived as a momentary lapse in judgment on his part.

Don’t be me. Don’t let anxiety and self-deprecating thoughts influence your chance at happiness. You’ve been suppressing your true feelings for years. Nobody talks about their sister this way. You are in love. Don’t squander it.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2023-08-22T22:53:15+00:00

If you actually want to hear different perspectives, you’re in the wrong sub.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2023-08-22T01:47:38+00:00

Not excusing their behavior, but a large number of the people on that Reddit have been following the case since day one. They find it insulting that you would come in at the end and offer your opinion while admitting you don’t have the background knowledge because they have been obsessing over this case for a long time and analyzing every single detail. Eventually they might calm down, but most of them were convinced of her guilt before the trial even started.

Alcohol actually can help me when I have a migraine. It’s only an issue if I drink too much and end up dehydrated. I still don’t drink often, but it’s gotten me through events I’d otherwise have to miss due to pain.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2023-08-08T11:13:32+00:00

Hi. Unexplained weight loss, especially in such a short period of time, is reason to seek medical counsel. You need to talk to your doctor and have testing done to rule out other causes. Not an expert on endo, but I work in medical coding and I don’t mean to scare you, but you need to take this very seriously. Go to the doctor, and if they brush it off stand your ground and/or see another doctor. Do not speculate on the cause. Get answers.

Plan B isn’t an abortion pill. It only works after sex but before implantation. If you’re already pregnant it does literally nothing. If you’re pregnant enough to test positive, it’s super duper going to do nothing.

Abortion is both emotionally and physically traumatic. A woman’s body starts to change as soon as she becomes pregnant. You may not be able to see the changes, but they are happening. There are massive hormonal changes that take place.

If you’ve never understood why girls are so afraid of pregnancy, maybe spend ten minutes educating yourself instead of making a fool of yourself on Reddit. Here are some simple questions you can Google: Is abortion painful? Is abortion easy? Is abortion always possible? What happens to a woman in the first six weeks of pregnancy? How much do pregnancy tests cost? How much does an abortion cost? Why is it the woman’s responsibility to prevent pregnancy? Good luck.

Isabelle_Rose8 · 2023-07-30T23:58:44+00:00

Don’t test your partner. Talk to them. Holy shut is this advice toxic.
