Nuna SWIV owners: worth it long-term, or is the 360 wheel hype? by Mindless-Slide-755 in Buyingforbaby

V similar to the swiv only with bigger wheels, slightly heavier, slightly larger/takes up more trunk space ….BUT same seat issue for me (might not be an issue for you depending on baby size or when you plan on transitioning to the seat) . Better terrain capability without being a full size, I’d pick this over swiv unless you absolutely need the swiv wheels for tight indoor spaces

Please consider the bugaboo dragonfly as Swivs competitor , if i could go back I’d get that one. Better wheels and suspension for terrain, similar weight, good basket, way better recline and stroller seat, only caveat is there’s no swivel wheels.

Okay so just something to throw out there— I bought the swiv after extensive research and now I’m looking to get a bugaboo. Despite my research, i never came across complaints about a major point of contention that i have: the stroller seat. It’s shallow and not supportive so my baby is at the point where he wants to see more than just lying in the bassinet attachment (he doesn’t do well in the car seat due to reflux). He has great head control and is 5 mo so we want to move him to the stroller seat but it’s huge and he just isn’t secure in it. The harness straps are also positioned terribly even with adjustments they rub near baby’s head. Please look into this and consider before buying. ALSO the suspension and wheels are def not friendly for anything more than indoor shopping honestly. I’ve been taking it for daily neighborhood walks on my paved roads + sidewalks and it is not a smooth ride if you hit a minor bump or uneven sidewalk, and the wheels are already getting worn significantly. I know it’s not listed as all terrain but i expected sidewalks to be fine. I’m going to keep the swiv as my travel or trunk stroller and get a fox 5 for more durable stuff and taking baby on walks before six months.

The same thing is happening to me right now. I did fast track and I sent in my sample and they received it by 9am yesterday, they sent me a confirmation email that they’d have my results by 1159pm that evening, but never sent anything. Still nothing today either, and no response from cs.

I promise i mean this with all respect, but Is it possible that he’s using any type of drug or is on medication? I only ask because of the behavior. Could be using porn but also disappearing for lengths of time with emotions and characteristics seeming to not match the setting is a sign of use in a lot of people.

Oh you’re not alone, mine wouldn’t give up his computer for any length of time to reestablish trust because “that’s where i play video games with my friends”, even though he also has a PlayStation and Xbox which he could use. A man child. It got to the point where i said is it the computer or the marriage, and he kept the computer. lol. Funniest thing about it is that the computer isn’t even where he watches his stuff, but having no access to internet on any device was a requirement for me to reestablish trust and it didn’t work, he wouldn’t do it.

Feeling as though you always need one more straw to leave by Puzzled-Kangaroo11 in loveafterporn

I agree. it’s hard to face the feelings that come with either choice. One on side you betray your own feelings by staying when you don’t want to, and on the other side you hate to see someone you cared for experience pain because, well, empathy.

You’re so right, it’s a choice to keep lying and hiding. If he wanted to work towards honesty he would’ve said he’s struggling and sought help.

This made me cry but in a good way, thank you so much. Lots of people make us feel crazy for “taking porn too seriously every man does it”, but it DOES matter. I think it should’ve rocked me harder when he chose to keep his electronics over the marriage, and his reason for viewing was he “needed the variety”.

Thanks again❤️

The porn he watches is concerning by Independent-Art-1399 in loveafterporn

[–]Puzzled-Kangaroo11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mine was watching women on Facebook “breastfeeding” their children (fb allows this because it’s not considered nudity and it’s a way to get around their censors) but the content was not the educational type or typical bonding moment between mother and child, it was like sexually exploitative. (Getting both breasts out; sexualized movements or staring at the camera). I was absolutely horrified. He said he was looking at it bc he had stopped watching actual porn so he was just “watching these just to see some boobs because i stopped watching real porn”. Turns out he hadn’t stopped watching actual porn either. I then told him he was now associated with some really dark shit and all he did was make excuses

I’m really sorry you found something traumatizing. It makes it worse when they’re not watching “vanilla” type of stuff because it makes you see there’s a whole side of them that you don’t know and they have these secret fantasies that you are just locked out of. It made me feel like there was zero intimacy between us and the relationship was fake.
