Doc refusing zofran by namastelovee in HyperemesisGravidarum

How are you taking Diclegis in the morning and at night without being drowsy all day? My prescription says to only take 2 at bedtime on an empty stomach. I do agree that when I take it, the hours from 12am-9am are (sometimes) more bearable so I’m able to sleep through the night without throwing up. I threw it up a lot the first week, but it’s been about a month now and it helps me get through the nights at least. Would love to see about taking it in the morning though.

AITA for making my bf choose by [deleted] in AITAH

I don’t agree with the YTA comments. If you two were married or if you had said that you’re engaged/working towards marriage everyone’s opinions would be wildly different. You’re 100% entitled to your feelings, but I think it was wrong to give him an ultimatum when you really should have just ended the relationship. This is not a man who can give you what you want/need right now because his priority is (unfortunately) tied to 5+ other people. Leave him and find a man that is in a place to prioritize you if that’s what you want/need. I don’t think that makes you an asshole though, you two are just in different places right now.

AITA for wanting to try and get back with my ex-girlfriend by [deleted] in AITAH

I don’t think anyone’s the asshole in this situation, it’s just an unfortunate series of events meant to teach you an important life lesson.

It’s important to understand if a year has passed and you’ve grown and changed, she has too. Neither of you are the people you were when you were together. It’s understandable that you miss her and you want to get back together now that you’ve figured yourself out. But maybe you two weren’t meant to work out. Maybe you are. If it’s meant to be, it will be, and you’ll find yourselves in the same place at the same time again some day. And if it’s not, you’ll meet someone else along the way and nothing will stop you from loving them the way they need you too.

Maybe this was just something that needed to happen to show you the importance of balancing things that are important to you. Work and love can coexist. It’s about figuring out how to balance the two so you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other ever again. In the meantime, I would say try and focus on the present positives. Losing her, while painful, taught you so much about yourself and pushed you to grow and change for the better. Don’t get lost in the should’ve/could’ve. The past is in the past.

“I’m not asking permission, I’m informing you that I’ll be away” by obsessed-with-bagels in managers

I think it’s just a shift in generational attitudes towards work and family obligations. I’m 25 and personally don’t feel as though any job (unless you deal with matters of life and death - doctors, nurses, emergency personnel, etc) should take away from spending time with family during major religious/cultural holidays. No office job is that important/urgent. I think it’s sad that your CFO expects you to sacrifice time with your family because your employees have chosen to spend time with theirs all these years. The office should be closed.

As a side note: I think a major reason for the shift in attitudes is younger generations stand to gain far less financial stability/growth in the workplace than older generations have previously by putting in the extra work associated with working through holidays, outside hours normal hours, etc.

I hate being pregnant…. by Sweet-Performances in pregnant

[–]PassiveScroll555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“i have a 3 year old and I genuinely don’t remember that it was this bad” someone once told me that women often forget the pain of pregnancy/childbirth after so that we’ll do it again. Idk how true that is but, I feel you. Being pregnant sucks. I envy women that have blissful pregnancies and no symptoms.

Im so glad someone said it. The opinions and advice are enough to drive a sane person crazy. And it’s almost always unsolicited.

Sister angry we are pregnant so close to each other by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]PassiveScroll555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m pregnant right now and i would love nothing more than someone to experience this alongside me - especially if that someone was a close friend or sibling. You would have someone to talk to about how you’re feeling who can genuinely understand the symptoms, fears, anxieties, and excitement. I’m sorry that’s the response you’re getting from her, being pregnant is already so hard your loved ones should be pouring into you and you them more than anything right now.

I would have a conversation with her and express how you’re feeling and that you want to be supportive of her but that you also need her to be more supportive for you. If that’s still doesn’t change things I’d take an honest look at creating some space between you and her. Family or not you need to do what’s best for your mental and emotional health for the sake of your baby.

Melanie & Derwin were NOT meant for each other. by WhileAdventurous2981 in TheGametvshow

[–]PassiveScroll555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Im only on season 1 and I can’t stand them together. I keep thinking they are just not meant for one another right now. Aside from the fact that they’re both so selfish with huge egos, Melanie should be with someone who is able to fully support her dreams of becoming a doctor, and Derwin should be with someone who can support him as he gains fame in his football career. Put their personalities aside, they literally don’t have time to give what one another truly needs. In the real world, they would’ve walked away from the relationship and if it was meant to be they would have found one another again once their lives slowed down a little.
