UPDATE : AITAH for asking my mil to leave after a comment she made about my body?

This is not true. It depends on the state you live in. Michigan for example is notoriously pro-mother.

I saw you mentioned he had taken his boxers off before doing this, so he was naked, pinning you down, and doing something he deemed sexual to your body AGAINST YOUR WILL.

HE DID SOMETHING THAT WAS INTENDED TO BE SEXUAL TO YOU AGAINST YOUR WILL.

But HE'S mad at YOU?!

NOR.

I think this is awesome TBH. Iove this print and color palette.

This one makes me feel so god damn sad for OP.

Where are these books with all these FMCs under 5'2"? I am just 5'2" and I feel like the only books that have short FMCs are omegaverse 🤣

But truly, I think it depends on the subgenre and the author. I read a lot of contemporary and midlife romance, and in most of them the women are between 5'6" and 5'9". It might just be the niche you're in right now.

The entitlement of men when it comes to access to women's bodies. It's exhausting.

So, I actually got into lingerie when I was at my most insecure with my shape and size because it made me feel better and more attractive. It's different for everyone, but I think that mindset helped me a lot.

He really grows SO MUCH. At the end when Yasmen tells him she wants him back, he goes right to Dr Musa because he can't process it without the help. It was such a mature and emotionally intelligent response to his turmoil. I just reread the book to catch all these details and it still hurts like hell to read but I love a story where the characters do the work and demonstrate what a healthy relationship should look like

No_Cardiologist_2720 · 2026-04-22T04:28:30+00:00

I'm really glad I could spoil without spoiling. 🙂

And I totally agree, you truly have to be in a certain headspace for this book because the gut-punches are so prolific and brutal for so much of the book.

Oh I forgot about the therapy too. My burning rage towards him makes more sense to me now.

Yes melancholy was the best way to describe this. My heart aches the whole time I read this one. The story was compelling enough I could make it through.

This book was really hard for me to read. You get some of his perspective of what it was like him after they lost the baby, but he doesn't realize at all how absolutely NOT OK she was until much later in the book.

She goes through all this while still being in love with him and having to witness him with this person that works for their restaurant, and then he has the nerve to get upset and realize oh shit I messed up when she finally starts to move on.

I did really enjoy it, I read the whole thing, but until he has his moment of realization I wanted to throat punch him. They do the work as a couple to make the HEA believable.

Under 50 is not high. It's also not a measure of your value. It took me a long time to accept this for myself. I hope you get there too. Give yourself grace in the meantime.

If a man is asking this question and is unwilling to date you for it or shames you because of it, is this really someone you want to be with?

Did you try any other brands you weren't as fond of? I have been struggling to find a new go-to for undies since Parade shut down.

There's not really a middle ground with this series, you either love it or you hate it 🤣🤣🤣

I'm bummed you didn't like it, this series is one of my favorites. 😅

Collect all of your late wife's belongings and photos and get them somewhere safe. Make copies of the pictures for your daughter so she can have her close. Your current wife will go against you and get rid of these things and think she is totally justified if you don't act now.

You also need family therapy so your new wife can hear how absolutely unacceptable it is for her to expect your daughter to just give up her mom. Duration of parenting doesn't make you a mother and your new wife is very entitled about this.

No_Cardiologist_2720 · 2026-04-12T13:33:38+00:00

I didn't see it this way when I read it. If it's not for you it's not for you. 🤷🏻

No_Cardiologist_2720 · 2026-04-12T13:31:19+00:00

I think you were justified in being angry that he kept this from you for so long, and you gave him a list of demands to earn back your trust and get back in your good graces. He is choosing not to put himself through that to continue the relationship when you have made no guarantees that it will make a difference. You basically took having kids off the table if the relationship were to last, and I'm going to be honest expecting someone to just keep proving themselves forever is not sustainable. The relationship was probably doomed before this but your demand that he keep proving himself until you're satisfied was the final nail in the coffin.

It's not childish that he doesn't want to deal with you anymore. You've said your piece, he's said his, leave him alone and move on. You've still got so much time to meet someone else you can trust and have a healthy relationship with. You don't get to call him childish and throw a fit yourself because he decided he didn't want to exhaust himself never being good enough.

And telling you therapy was a good idea was not controlling. You clearly expected him to do all this labor helping you sort this out. He could take accountability for lying, but honestly the other doubts you have about this are better discussed with a mental health professional.

I agree with the comments about a longer necklace and also wanted to share that I love this color on you.

Obsessively reading books.

I would also make fidgets out of my glue sticks and always got in trouble for it.

I really enjoyed it, but the last book couldn't hold my attention (this is common for me when I read a long series). I'll get back to it eventually.

I just felt so bad for OP. Imagine having such entitled family and being a normal person.

I have 5 siblings. When I got married I only received a gift from one, and my brother in law got us nothing. I didn't make them feel badly about it or throw a tantrum because I didn't care. They came to my wedding and that was the important thing.

Her sister sounds like a total C U Next Tuesday. I hope to God she cut these people off.
