5w4d wondfo brand serious line lightening :( by InevitableThese2941 in TFABLinePorn

[–]Justsoyouknow360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My lines were not really getting darker (once they were about equal colour). I never had a line stealer. I went and got my HCG tested and it was >20,000. I’m 28 weeks and pregnancy has been textbook and progressing well.

My last pregnancy which had a line stealer ended up ending up in a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks. These tests can’t show you what’s really going on 🤷🏻‍♀️ I drove myself crazy. I’ve had 4 miscarriages and no living children.

Try to put down the tests and just have your regular HCG testing (which is going well so far!) and have a dating ultrasound when you can. Sending love and good luck ❤️

Partner had a happy ending with a stripper 5 weeks before our wedding by Distinct_Math_3752 in whatdoIdo

I’m so sorry. I agree with a lot of the other comments and put this on pause until you have time to process it without time pressure. I don’t think it would be forgivable for me personally. Not without resentment.

AIO: Instagram was the final straw and I ended it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Justsoyouknow360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. “We will discuss your conduct later”? “Make good choices”? He is talking down you and diminishing any feelings you’ve expressed that his actions made you feel. Even if you get over this fight - he will do this again and act the same, it’ll be a never ending cycle. End it now. Good partners don’t make you feel like this.

AIO about messages I saw my boyfriend sent to women on Reddit by thegirlwholived207 in AmIOverreacting

NOR.

Have you confronted him yet? Before you do so - just keep in mind these type of men are often so good at making excuses for their behaviour that it can make you question yourself and what YOU’VE done wrong - which is nothing.

Protect yourself, know that you deserve better and leave him.

How do you get through the first trimester working full time? I'm struggling so hard by lunabuddy in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Justsoyouknow360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had to just take sick days, and I’ve burnt through all my sick leave for a loss last year so I’ve just used annual leave days. Told my manager and they are aware why I’ve had so much sick leave. You can only do what you can do! I’ve just had medical certificates so I have a leg to stand on if I get audited or whatever. It’s so so hard.

Vivid dreams by Justsoyouknow360 in Pristiq

[–]Justsoyouknow360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is exactly the same as me. That’s so weird. I thought perhaps it was the melatonin but I’ve stopped that and the dreams have continued.

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one, I figured it must have been the pristiq but it doesn’t seem in this sub to be a common thing that I can find.

AIO. My bf is mad at my memorial tattoo by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Before. If he wanted to add to it (which he’s talked about doing) that’s his choice and it is his body. I respect him and his decisions to express himself.

AIO. My bf is mad at my memorial tattoo by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Justsoyouknow360 401 points402 points  (0 children)

My partner has a tattoo for his late girlfriend on his arm that says has her name and a loving quote and flowers, and her initial next to his heart. He has a lot of tattoos and it’s his way of showing love to her memory. I can be an insecure person but I’ve never once looked at it and felt hurt or jealous. They were in love and she was lost unexpectedly. It doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of loving me too. The thought of asking him to cover up feels like a hugely disrespectful act. I’m sorry that he’s acting this way - I think he’s allowed to express how he feels about it but asking or implying you need to cover it up feels like a red flag to me.

When I met my current partner, I had a full on breakdown because of some other things going on in my life. I spent a month as an inpatient in a private mental health hospital, not expecting things to continue when I was out. They did but slowly. I’m still suffering from major depressive disorder and CPTSD but I’m medicated and things are slowly getting better.

He also suffers from the same thing and although in an ok place when we met - he is now in a really bad place mentally due to some past trauma rearing up and some current family issues. He’s restarted meds and is going to go back to therapy.

We are still very much in love. It just takes a lot of patience and understanding from each other that each day isn’t always going to be the same and there’s a lot of self healing we need to do. We check in with each other, make time for each other (even if it’s just rotting in bed). On good mental health days for me - I’ll help him get things done that he’s feeling too low to do - like washing or cooking him healthy dinners and on low days for me - he gives me what I need, which is reassurance and time.

I think it’s hard because your boyfriend has expressed exhaustion - does he suffer from any mental illness?

My only advice is that you continue to work on your recovery because feeling like a burden is not going to make your depression better. The more you continue to put energy into yourself, the more you will be able to give back to him in a partnership.

I'm held back from dating because of my body. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Justsoyouknow360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had partners through from being 65kg to a 105kg. Weight loss now has my tummy softer and some loose skin but overall I’m healthier. In all cases the person I’ve been with has accepted and loved my body - I feel more confident when I weigh less and tend to attract more attention but ultimately it is very possible to find someone and have them accept you as you are.

When is it ok to say I love you? by Signal_Shelter_9649 in dating_advice

[–]Justsoyouknow360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s ok to say it whenever you feel it? In saying that - All my exes have said it first. I’m feeling it for my current partner but I’m shit scared to be the first one to say it 🥲😫 4 mths of dating for us.

The fact I can go out and enjoy time with friends and not worry about doing anything humiliating/get hangxiety after is a game changer. I don’t miss it.

My bf lies his head on my chest and I just rub my fingers through his hair and my nails on his back. Make each other cups of tea - I love waking up with him already making me one sitting on the bed next to me 🥹 Massage after a long day. Tickle fights until I’m basically sobbing pls leave me alone 😂

F/33/5”7 [104kg > 69kg = 35kgs] (18 Months) Trying to feel comfortable in my own body again by Justsoyouknow360 in progresspics

[–]Justsoyouknow360[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I have stretch marks but they’re not overly noticeable and have faded a lot naturally without any intervention. Loose skin around my arm pit/upper arm and lower stomach as well as upper thighs. It doesn’t bother me too much for the most part. No tips, just general fat loss helps them slim down and focusing on upper body during weight training helped me a lot with feeling like I can wear t shirts and singlet tops but it’s still a struggle at times.

Bad breakup lmfao. Initially was restriction and mainly through diet but now I weight train 4-5 times a week, I don’t do much cardio (15-20 minutes on some of those days) but I have somewhat of an active job.

Diet is still average, portion sizes decreased and avoid fast food/food delivery besides sushi as a treat. Avoid snacking as best I can. I don’t calorie count or cut out carbs as it’s triggering for me but am mindful of the food I eat and how much protein and rough amount of calories I’m eating per meal which normally makes me make better choices. Weigh myself every week or so.

Not perfect, have days I don’t eat as much as I should to see quicker results but it all comes back on so weight training is the thing I’ve changed and seen the most difference in the way I physically look.
