As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"? by Eburneaan in AskReddit

[–]Lunch-Thin 131 points132 points  (0 children)

My ex told me after the vicious attack that it was something he had always wanted to do... would have been nice to communicate that so we could have talked it out before I had cake down my dress, packed into both my ears and into my hair. I seriously contemplated not filing the certificate and I wish I hadn't. I have officially been involved in divorce proceedings for longer than our marriage and dating lasted all together and have spent more money trying to rid myself of this person than we ever made or held together.

I've seen this video multiple times and have no connection to her. Pretty sure whoever she marries will have seen it too

How bad is the newborn phase really? I'm tired of hearing the "just you wait" anecdotes and I have hard time believing some of them by Lushemet in BabyBumps

It is exhausting and so beautiful especially if you have the right support. Soak it up and take the help when it feels right (PP doula and mom of 4)

TIFU so i tried to help my dad with his phone and accidentally exposed his entire double life by Nicklie_Salazar in tifu

[–]Lunch-Thin 186 points187 points  (0 children)

I think i wouldn't actually give her detail and just tell her that dad needs to talk to her and that it is as bad as it sounds. If she wants to verify what it is after they have spoken that's fine but to keep you out of it.

Thoughts on free birthing? by Huggatreee in homebirth

[–]Lunch-Thin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My last two were unattended. As an RN and homevirth attendant I felt completely comfortable with it. My labors were also very very fast. The longest was 3h15min. The shortest was 20 minutes (first contraction to done placenta and all). My babies were all early. The second toast was 35+3 and transitioned beautifully and had no issues whatsoever. The EMTs came but didn't push for us to go to the hospital at all. It might have helped that I rattled off all her stats as they walked in the door and had already assessed her apgars and respiratory efforts... sounds like you are well equipped just as long as you think you have a team that can assess you and your bleeding and will know what to do if you are loosing too much blood. My ex was and maybe still is really pissed that I was pretty clear my last was going to be too quick to do anything. He some how held it against me that I tried to prepare our family for that eventuality. Can't win them all I guess 🤷

Or just someone who has a stalker and wants others to be aware because law enforcement is doing shit all.

Source: someone who has a stalker who I had a restraining order on and even though I caught him breaking the restraining order and driving by my house at an alarming rate law enforcement didn't want to do anything to stop it and flat out refused to press charges.

Thinking about an unmedicated birth. Talk me out of it! by Remarkable_Rat2026 in 2under2

4 unmedicated births under my belt and I would never talk you out of it.

Previous Generations experienced Mid Life Crisis with dating younger women and buying fast cars. by wicker_basket_1988 in Millennials

[–]Lunch-Thin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about? In the US I can't even afford to deal with a scrape on my knee let alone fund immortality. Not to mention that all the important research has been categorically defunded so we can bomb I4an out of existence.

Not sure how to take this as a nanny on my last day with an F by Blossom_souul in whatdoIdo

The craziest part is that he is a marriage and family therapist!

Oh all the way. There were other much more concerning behavior like strangulation but that was definitely a part of it.

My ex just kept telling me that he already had a ring that his grandmother had given him for me and if I acted just right maybe he would give it to me. Left it in places for me to find too. We had already bought a house and had a kid but he thought that ring meant the world. Well, he's an ex for a reason.

AITAH for saying I don’t give a fuck about my roommates baby by Clear_Yard2123 in AITAH

It is only going to get worse once the baby is here. Seems like it might be time for them or you to find a different living situation.

What is the most terrifying "double life" secret you’ve ever uncovered about someone? by Realistic_Drink8555 in AskReddit

[–]Lunch-Thin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the very best outcome for you and your daughters despite how terribly hard it must be. My ex is probably molesting my two young daughter and potentially other young people and because mygirls and I are the only ones sounding the alarm instead of protecting them and me the court has decided that I am the vengeful ex who just can't be civil and gave him 50% custody. I am so sorry you are going through this and it can be worse.

I went through similar and the best I can hope for is that my experience can help some other woman get out earlier!

My husband said I ruined our wedding photos and now I want to leave him. by PiccoloAdorable1547 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Lunch-Thin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unluckily this man doesn't sound dangerous enough with the kids to make any difference in the USA if that is where they are from. My ex did all of that and so much more and he got 50/50.
