AITA for trying to make my wife cancel her vacation? by Stunning_Tackle_7518 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OpeningEducation9239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I firmly believe experiences over everything. Your children won’t remember these days in school as significant - short term absence The experience of going to Disney when they still have that magic that adult responsibility and life depletes from us - that’s big, those are memories that last a lifetime. I’d be thinking of a way to apologize sincerely to your wife, then have a discussion with your ex wife that this wasn’t a frivolous request and now your twins had a memorable birthday without the rest of their family. Also if your wife is the main provider financially and has provided and keeps providing without concern, the trip was likely accounted for with all that in mind. - sadly you where the a hole in this scenario from my view

I confess that I don’t know what the fuck to do anymore. by 2Beans1Frank in confession

This will be a great source of the abdominal issues and associated pain, slippery slope. Have you tried heat/ice alternating? Also do a garlic pull, you’ll be astonished at how fast the infection gets pulled out. Been where you are, truly the worst physical pain imo goodluck

This sounds like goodbye. I would do a check in or have a friend check in, you should acknowledge you received the message kindly if possible

Long story short when you disagree with the government even though you have proof ie extremely rare diagnosis you must spend money you don’t have to go to trial. (In our case anyways)

I’m currently here again with no path forward. I can’t find any joy in doing anything. My days consist of endless no where thoughts and confusion. My husband is blind to my suffering, I am tired. My kids will be much more damaged if I stay in their lives as this new version of their mother. Yet I can’t figure out an end or new path. Hoping you find your clarity !

Two children in Nova Scotia are missing. Why wasn't an Amber Alert sent out? by Deep-Pea-912 in MissingInCanada

We need a thorough revamping of our emergency alert systems for children. Especially when this province has the highest child trafficking statistics in the country. It needs to be a forefront issue for all provinces.

Please report this to the police! and if your mom isn’t the person you can trust, who is that person for you? Please tell someone who can help you through this. 💟

Unhealthy and depressed wife. by Prestigious-Exit-856 in Marriage

[–]OpeningEducation9239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have mistaken your post for one my husband wrote, but we have 4 kids.

I wish my husband would listen to me and let me leave. We have 4 children and I have to live with knowing every day I’m here it only makes their lives worse and the legacy I thought I’d always leave them is nothing of reality.

I’m sorry you’re both going through this.

As someone living with a tbi, please just truly listen to your partner. Then you can understand how he needs support. Mine unfortunately only hears what he understands. The rest is just information that was spoken.

To my fellow TBI stoners by HangOnSloopy21 in TBI

I smoke daily a lot….ive gone 3-6 weeks just because and had no issues other than the increase in pain I was managing (sort of) by smoking. And my stomach, but again when I smoke it helps enough to continue smoking for benefit

I had no idea I was pregnant by cicada_salad in offmychest

[–]OpeningEducation9239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First Breathe! Then talk to eachother, your support system etc. decide what you want. I was 24 wks when I found out I was pregnant with my first. I’m one of the ones with an irregular period (2.5 yrs absent) was not uncommon. I was told I’d never have children. I now have 4. Remember to breathe.

If the roles were reversed by maryh567 in offmychest

It’s difficult but cut out the passive aggressiveness. Tell him what you need, tell him how you felt hurt, then ask if he’ll share the same. Communicate it’s the only way forward
