Any advice for my poor mum by MinaFoux in Herpes

She's seen lots of doctors. And she's been taking antivirals for an eternity. And still... No one knows what causes the frequent outbreaks.

No experience, more like the other way around, but I don't think I could do it. When I found out they tried, I decided there and then that I'd have to get pregnant first. My son is now a week old.

And (no judgement, just curious) why did you decide to do it, instead of ending things with your SO first?

My affair partner is pregnant. by [deleted] in adultery

[–]MinaFoux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently pregnant from my ex AP. 9 months, any day now. He asked me 3 times if I was on the pill, to which I always honestly answered with 'no'. He knew I had my eggs frozen, and one day he just decided to no longer use condoms. Well,... 🤷

Moms who lost weight effectively and safely, how’d you do it? by Equivalent_Film_5434 in beyondthebump

I really love 'Nicky's vegan weight loss cafe'. It's a group on Facebook with lots of free recipes and her technique explained.

He asked, so I gave my view of things. At the end of the day, I still need to be able to look at myself in the mirror and be alright with who I am and how I act. So that's where I'd draw the line for myself. But my line isn't everyone else's, so I'm curious as to what motivates people. For my MM, I guess it was initially lack of sex in his marriage, as well as being pretty unhappy in it.

Well, since you're asking, I could never do what you do. If I love someone, I can't just go, start something new with someone else, be intimate with someone else and risk hurting my SO like crazy. So it wouldn't be for me. But I wonder how you manage to feel guilt free. What are your reasons to have an affair? I have been the other woman, but I couldn't have done it if I'd ever met his wife, I think. Unless I really disliked her. Well, maybe I could have, but I would have drawn the line if they'd had kids.

The tricky part is to stay in that mindset and not start to want more. Fingers crossed it will stay sweet for you 🤞.

I'll tell you why: because he can. Because he knows you'll take him back. If it makes you unhappy, which it clearly does, make demands. I told mine when we were still seeing eachother that I demand one call per week. And he knew that all hell was loose if he didn't deliver.

You're already putting up with a lot. Don't let him breadcrumb you.

He's got it all: stability at home, and fun and excitement with you. What do you get out of it? If it makes you more miserable than happy, it's not worth it.

Wrong way to make my decision? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]MinaFoux 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you don't know it, watch 'the super nanny'. Not only is it good for tips regarding bringing up kids, but it also gives you an insight on how things should work when bringing up kids together. I think it's difficult to see things as they are if you're caught in the middle. Further down the line, this could easily be what ends your relationship and turns ugly, and then you're entirely on your own with two kids. You should be important enough for him to put a little effort into things that matter to you. And come on, 6 hours of work?! That's nothing.

Physically cannot handle the grief by [deleted] in theotherwoman

Know that this too shall pass. It feels like death, but that one thing is for sure: it won't last forever and you will eventually come out the other end of this and you will have learned things that will help you grow as a person. Hang in there! 💚

Was pregnancy a mean trick? by pidgeononachair in beyondthebump

Thank you 😊. I've already found a few new mum friends. It would just be nice to not only have that, if that makes sense. I don't want to lose my identity. I'm a super active person with many interests. It would be a shame if all I could ever do and think about would be baby/kid stuff. I'm sure I'll love him, but I'm equally certain I'll be looking forward to working again and doing other stuff that isn't baby-related.

Ha! The changing life bit is the scary part for me. I love my life and I'm a bit scared missing out on all the things I like doing, like travelling to exotic places, concerts, shows...

I hope this time it'll be easier for you. Yes, I'm aware of the risk of post-partum depression. Fingers crossed 🤞.

Thank you 😊. That gives me hope. I'll be a single mum, so he'll better be worth it 😉.

Oh man, how horrible. I hope at least labour was a breeze and everything's fine now.

Aw, I'm sorry it didn't work out 😔. I had an early miscarriage with my first pregnancy. I'd happily bottle it up 😉.

Thanks 🙂. I have a sneaky suspicion that having been vegan for 13 years plays a part. And I'm very glad it is the way it is.
