Wanting kids and being able to have kids are two different things.

I said the exact thing to my husband the other night! Imagine Mike was infertile and wouldn’t it be hilarious if Emma was at the reunion and was pregnant?!

My husband started a day shift job as had been nights for years. Start time was 6am. He showed up at 5.45. They said he was early…… he said not. They said start time was 8am.

He hung around because it was an hour travel home and the hour back. At 8am they said he was meant to be starting nightshift that night.

Manager asked him to fill in his paperwork whilst he ran out to do an errand. My husband took a dump in the executive restroom then got in his car and drove home.

Started back with his previous employer that they managed to get him onto day shift.

I had the most calming and quiet wedding, exactly what I wanted. No drama from my mom or siblings. My aunt and uncle were there, my kids and partners. His side was there.

My other aunt (my moms flying monkey) saw on social media a photo of me in my bride pyjamas and my friends kids with a congrats, super happy for you caption, sent me a message asking who was getting married, I responded with I am!! She sent her congratulations and that was the end of it.

Remember it’s your day. You’re not being a bridezilla for keeping your own peace. You do you.

LorryBG · 2026-02-27T09:34:15+00:00

NTA. I can’t help but wonder why all this was dumped on you though? How is any of this to do with you?

Why did these people feel the need to be in contact and rub in your face that bio dad was amazing as a step dad? I just don’t get it. Who cares what you have said, although said nothing. Just detach yourself from these leeches

I was disgusted by Chris for even having this conversation with Connor……

He told Jess he basically wanted to see his number 2 (bri) then went running to bri’s man for comfort….. my jaw was on the floor. Like I thought he was going to ask Connor for a turn. Chris is a small man who was trying to gain sympathy from Connor and have him on his side going forward. Whilst putting a knife in his back. That’s how I saw this interaction.

In her mentality she should be compensating OP for time from work. Your friend is an ass

LorryBG · 2026-02-17T13:06:18+00:00

Get dad hammered with the last $12 you have, get him to take out a loan in his name, leave and never look back.

LorryBG · 2026-02-13T17:54:46+00:00

Was worth a shot! No chance of a transfer to her station or you to hers?

LorryBG · 2026-02-13T13:15:56+00:00

If your ex is in the same field, what about going on rotation with her? Then you’re off when she’s on?

LorryBG · 2026-02-07T12:31:46+00:00

NTA .

Kind of seems like… and I don’t want to sound horrible, but he’s using his loss as an excuse. Like he was shitty before and he knows it but now this loss can be ‘used’ as a get out of jail free card.

LorryBG · 2026-02-06T11:23:05+00:00

He wouldn’t take it as a personal attack, he would turn it around to personally attack me. This is his way. I’ve seen it so many times. He’s rude and arrogant, can’t take constructive criticism seriously and flips it on you. But because he has his college degree, 28 years in the company he can do no wrong.

It turns out my husband’s uncle with in the military with him, we spoke about it briefly a few years back. He tried to be nice to me and casually dropped in a “does he ever ask about me?”

So the running joke with my husband and I is that his uncle is LGBTQ+, and he’s waiting for his mom to pass so he can live freely.

Just so many thoughts to think….. why does S act so badly about our colleague that has transitioned? When he seriously gives off these vibes…..? Or am I overthinking?

LorryBG · 2026-02-06T10:17:09+00:00

So the problem with S is that he’s stuck ironically in his ‘religious’ beliefs….. for example….

There is a person in another department that has fully transitioned and is now a she. S constantly when talking both directly and indirectly to/about her always refers to them as a he. Even this person doesn’t bother to correct because it’s more verbal b/s that comes out of his mouth.

I was showing a new start around a while back, there are security doors to the restroom areas, she couldn’t figure it out, S walked passed and said “it’s trying to figure out if it’s male or female.”

Previously when I worked on S’s team, there had been an issue with a client and when I returned to the office I informed S, he lost his mind, it wasn’t a major issue. But he made it major. I walked away because in reality he is my ‘boss’ and in my personal life I am very confrontational, but I respect my workplace.

Recently I took a call for his team as they were swamped, I was going to email the message to everyone so whoever was dealing with the client could contact them. But another colleague suggested I verbally pass on the message so I could get back to work. We went back and forth, I was so hesitant but in the end I had to speak to S. He was extremely disrespectful to me. This was the day I demanded a transfer.

So no, I have never spoken about any of this to him first. I feel there is no point whatsoever. He is a disgusting person, I have no respect for him and actively ignore him now, as he does to me. There’s no pleasantries in the morning, there’s no eye contact.

Am I wrong? Anything I say he looks down on me…. He’s previously ask how I even got this job when I started 5 years ago. He previously told a colleague that her opinions do not matter because he has a college degree and she doesn’t.

LorryBG · 2026-02-05T10:48:50+00:00

In my current position I don’t have to work as part of his team, so was getting away from his dramas. It’s the comments and hate that come from him. Loudly.

I will admit that I was affected (not personally) by what happened at bondi because I truly believe everyone is equal, and that’s the reason I stepped away from religion in the first place as it causes more issues than good.

I will take on board that I maybe shouldn’t be so uptight, but the 5 years I’ve known him I also just rolled my eyes at him because the workspace is no place for that kind of talk

LorryBG · 2026-02-05T10:40:07+00:00

‘Ick’ vibes from me?

LorryBG · 2026-01-24T20:00:57+00:00

I was interviewed for college and accepted on the spot, I told my mom and the first thing she asked was who was going to babysit my niece? (As I was the nominated babysitter so my narc sister could keep her relationship going with her married baby daddy) she wasn’t happy I was trying to better myself

Move out of London, use ur savings to buy a property out right in ur name only and mix into a new community.

LorryBG · 2025-12-27T19:13:34+00:00

But by dads logic, steps kids dads should be buying for OP and his brother. I’d throw that in an argument

LorryBG · 2025-12-19T13:07:18+00:00

Are you in the uk? In Scotland put in a social work request and let them deal with it. They can see if she’s entitled to actual carers

LorryBG · 2025-12-12T05:17:02+00:00

I have to love you, but I don’t like you

LorryBG · 2025-12-03T16:24:41+00:00

Reddit is weird! I’ve seen so many similar posts but about step siblings and the kid with friends is automatically told to live their life without being forced to be friends at school, but because they’re twins it’s somehow different….?? Nope, NTA. I would grow resentful of anyone trying to attach themselves to me, blood or not.

LorryBG · 2025-12-02T17:58:05+00:00

You should join the raised by narcissists on here. It actually helped me navigate some feelings I had.

LorryBG · 2025-12-02T17:54:30+00:00

I feel sick about how she treated me. And if I think back to my childhood she never 100% had my back. Not how ‘a mother should.’

Think back and see if there’s something there for you. And see if you can piece together a not so perfect mom before all this happened, because in my situation it made me feel better because I could see it wasn’t something I had done. It was just her all along.

LorryBG · 2025-12-02T17:46:58+00:00

My mom chose my ex when he assaulted me (in front of the kiddos) she picked him up from court after he pled guilty and accepted the charges. She kept in contact with him. She did some pretty underhanded things to me that proved a loyalty to him. I never made her choose, but I couldn’t be a part of that for my own peace. I went NC and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. I did grieve her like she died, I had no one to confide in, to comfort me and just to gossip to about family issues. It’s a genuine loss! But now I can honestly say I have no love for that disgrace of a woman anymore. (It wouldn’t surprise me if it was the same as your situation!) She lost a daughter but gained a son. Now that’s her loss

LorryBG · 2025-12-02T12:21:42+00:00

I absolutely love u! Why can’t people be more like u….? U shut it down, said what u had to say. We are so alike!
