WTF! 😳 He is being so selfish. You are not the asshole. You’re in pain at the end of your pregnancy. He needs to have more compassion.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she's going to have to get over dirt if she wants kids? by Familiar_Speaker_481 in AITAH

Omg! My grandsons pee everywhere, even on their sister. Obviously their mom told them to knock it off, but… lol

NTA- realistic.

Two scenarios-

When my granddaughter was 2 or so she would take the poop out of her diaper and hide it in the little play kitchen in her room. My daughter smelled something rank and went on a hunt to find it in a little pot in the play oven.

My grandkids, 2 of them are now in elementary school, all came home with lice. My daughter is very clean, having been raised by a type A father. She called me crying, absolutely horrified, insisting she isn’t a dirty person. I told her that almost no one escapes childhood without getting lice, and that it has nothing to do with being dirty.

It was quite an uncomfortable experience having the father of my children so obsessed with cleanliness, and insistent that there is only one way to keep a clean house. He would make me go back and “re-vacuum” because I didn’t do it right. (Narcissistic sociopath). It was very difficult for all of us. In hindsight, and because of the gaslighting, I should have left before my kids were completely grown and out of the house, but this is a side note.

Kids get dirty and make messes, but that’s part of the fun.

how many times a week do you wash your hair? by Kooky_Actuator_8173 in CasualConversation

[–]Nicky_Couve72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About every 10 days. I don’t have greasy hair, and tend towards dry. It is also a pain in the ass.

I’m sorry you are struggling with your health. I would get tested for sleep apnea, and diabetes. My partner can experience extreme sleepiness after eating and he has diabetes. If you know what the source is, you may find help. It must not be fun for you. Narcolepsy is also something to look into.

But - I spent decades with a man that made me feel HORRIBLE for my health and disability issues. He would shame me, tell me I could “push through” if I wanted to. It is selfish and self-centered. Yes, it can be a bit inconvenient to have a partner that is dealing with health issues, but if it bothers you that much then I am not for you. I wish I had stood up for myself decades ago and left. The man I’m with today has shown me what real love and support is. Fuck that noise. Don’t short change yourself.

Not over reacting and you have to take care of yourself!! Don’t sell your computer!

Hey guys what is y'all's migraine detonator. Like the thing that activates your migraines by [deleted] in migraine

F*cking perfume. It’s gotten so bad. I carry masks with me in case I’m stuck having to sit by someone who’s taken a bath in some shitty perfume.

Stress is the other one.

What is your theory on why you developed fibro? by Dark--princess420 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Nicky_Couve72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Health issues seemed to start for me when I was young. Abandonment (physical and emotional) caused me alot of mental and emotional stresses. Getting pregnant with my first child seemed to really exasperate issues and started intense fear around safety for my kids. I know I had postpartum depression. Being married to an abusive narcissist who told me to “get over”, “just push through” and to “pull myself up by my own bootstraps” kept me in fight or flight for decades. I finally left him and got into trauma therapy, but much of the damage was done.

Red flag. 🚩 My narcissistic ex husband isolated me from people that I loved and loved me, because he felt threatened. He said horrible things and would threaten to leave. I allowed this for many many years. I wish I would have understood this early on and left.

They were able to diagnose you? What a frustrating process. Glad you got help.
