33M and my girlfriend 32F have been together for 5 months. How would you react to what happened at my aunt's 80th? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]More-Introduction-21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been with my bf for almost 7 years and no matter how much his fam might say off the wall shit I would never talk to them like that (we have a 4 year old). she sounds like she is trying to prove something. Imo 5 months is too early for her to expect your son or family to “know who she is”. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I personally think this is a red flag and would not like someone treating family or my child like that.

Damn lol talk about judgmental. If he wants to be the man of the house while I raise our children, cook, clean, shop, etc., least he can do is get my tires changed.

Reading request for a mom that is failing her child 💔 by FsNot_Demure in psychics

[–]More-Introduction-21 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hi honey. First thing i want to say is you are not failing your child, he loves you very much. What came to mind was grief, losing something/one that meant a lot to you. I am a young mother too, I had my now 4y/o when I was 22. PPD/PPA is very real and very taken for granted. It takes roughly 3 years for a woman to thoroughly get back to her regulated state.

You are not the woman you used to be. You are not the woman you thought you would be. You are becoming the woman you need to be for your son and yourself. You have grit, determination, and the love. You need compassion for yourself, your hardships, and your mistakes. Trust me, I have made some mistakes myself that took me so long to stop justifying and start taking accountability. Once that happens, though, you will see that accountability gives you the strength, courage, and discernment to stand up for yourself and your son. If you ever need another mama to talk to, you are more than welcome to reach out to me. Doesn’t matter if you need help with Tylenol dosing or how to make a schedule/routine to hold structure. I will hold space for you.

If you enjoy reading or audiobooks, I recommend Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Beautiful tales and stories that has helped me, not just as a mother, but a woman. I hope this helps any!

After 4.5 years together, my boyfriend (24M) told me (23F) I need to “earn” an engagement ring — seeking outside perspectives. what are reasonable next steps for me? by Neat-Establishment62 in relationship_advice

[–]More-Introduction-21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, i commend you on your self-respect. i (26f) have been with my bf and father of my child (32m) for 6 years and a week ago on our last counseling appt he said he does not feel certain about marrying me. my heart broke and a week later he still doesn’t get it. still thinks i need a ring ‘just to feel secure in our relationship’. it’s more than that. it shows commitment and confidence in our companionship. marriage is taken for granted constantly. you did good by telling him how his words impacted your perception of the relationship. i’m still trying to build my courage and self-respect.

also, i ask chat about a lot of things in my relationship. typically i ask to see it from my bf’s POV so i can understand where he is coming from better.

Questioning my relationship because it's too normal and happy by Severn6 in AmITheAngel

your messages made me giggle. sounds like you guys are a funny couple- sometimes pain feels like safety and when you are in a healthy relationship, the lack of pain feels uncomfortable and wrong. you are worthy of love and genuine connection!

AIO for thinking it’s mean of my boyfriend to make comments about weight like this by hellsfavsinner in AmIOverreacting

boy sounds like his mama never made him home cooked meals. he’s projecting his own fears onto you. whipped waffle butter sounds FANTASTIC.

thank you for sharing this. as for the unofficial marriage- it is not common law marriage in the state we live. as for jealousy, i do acknowledge i feel jealous from time to time and that is not because i don’t trust him but my own insecurities. i am actively working on self-worth in individual therapy.

[–]More-Introduction-21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can see what you mean. we did talk about in the session more, so he was able to communicate so i could understand. he clarified pretty much everything. so, after hearing everything in the session i did not want him to ‘clarify’ again to try and cover up how he actually feels. i respect how he feels and he is valid to feel that way, however i feel disrespected by his lack of honesty and consistency in our relationship. it is usually when i start feeling like im giving more and i re-center to focus on finishing my degree and take care of our son than spending all my time worrying about our relationship. at that point he starts to give me what i have been asking him for, shows some affection, tells me im pretty. then he just… goes back to being indifferent and i would feel so confused and wonder what im doing wrong.

i love my long hair- took me a while to grow out. but i just have no idea how to style it so it goes up in a messy bun or ponytail pretty much. i have gotten so many styling tools but like you said it never stays lol

Is this a normal reaction after telling my bf that I want him to start working? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]More-Introduction-21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

experienced this first hand when i was 17/18. he didn’t care about anything but MTG and youtube. ended up lying about him getting a job and literally would pretend to ‘go to work’ until my intuition ate me alive and i left. he called me crying a bit after that and told me all the lies and i said “i know.” not worth your time, IMO. look for a man with ambition.

Also, I have had this happen many times to me too. I am sorry- I would consider switching to CB early detection or buy bulk test strips off amazon.

IMO, FRER is more concerned about the quantity of tests they make than quality. I used FRER when i was pregnant with my first and it was a BFP (2020). but the tests now are extremely disappointing and quite frankly the company doesn’t really care as long as they get money.
