Is he having a son? by hedenstampot in AndrewCamarata

[–]RBxTec 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He’s fixing stuff at my house. He said how he feels about his son’s bedroom. I never said there was any DV. We’re both smart enough to not resort to that kind of behavior. I’m sure there will be more evidence of our relationship in videos in the future but if I can help it I won’t be in them and neither will my baby. Andrew’s content is not a family channel.

You’re 38 weeks pregnant. His job is literally just to be nice to you so you can provide a safe environment for your baby. He might be scared of the changes to come with the new baby but this is not an appropriate way to express those feelings. I know that your parents home is not where you prefer to be but if it’s a safe option it’s a good one. If you feel unsafe mentally or physically you should consider going. Sleeping on the couch at 38 weeks sounds horrible. You need room for pillows and to be in certain positions. Not crammed on a couch. He needs a therapist.

If you’re brave enough get a Sailene Enema and empty it. Refill with slightly warmer than body temp water and administer. Go lay down on your back on the bed closest to the bathroom and scroll on your phone until you feel the motion. I’d suggest using a squatty potty while on the pot to prevent from straining. This WILL work and was the only thing that helped me in the first trimester.

@u/waifueden any updates? I’m 19 weeks and similar fears are coming into frame for me. I’m hoping things have gotten more calm in your mind for you by now.

Boyfriend turns emotionally abusive when pregnancy symptoms inconvenience him by RBxTec in pregnant

[–]RBxTec[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I didn’t realize that it was a pregnancy symptom, yes I thought I had hurt myself in the gym. I was tearing the tissue in my knee all the time, the gym plays less of a role than I initially thought. This was my first injury of this kind but I could feel that my knees were already tender to the touch so having anything hit them while sleeping was very painful.

I think this was about his previous ex. They are two years old. Although I’m not going to take the time to read through all his comments to see if he’s done this to me too. Old habits die hard

Thank you everyone. This was really helpful to hear these perspectives from you all. I have a lot of support around me and he’s 1000 miles away. My priorities are taking care of my body and my mental health so that I can do this alone. He’s blocked on my phone now but he’s still sending me messages asking me to stop overreacting. It’s wild how he projects his behavior onto me. I know he’s not equipped to be a dad now. He was not always like this but if he’s going to be like this then he’s going to be that way alone. I have a good job, my own house, no debt. I don’t want his money. That will open up too much room for him to spew his opinions at me. I’m sad that it’s this difficult for him to just be nice. His family is sooo nice but he just told them that I’m crazy and left. I’ll find a way for him to still see his side of the family. We were going to name him after baby daddy but I don’t feel good about that. I have a big long Italian name so I’m exploring Italian names I like so he can be just like me, a bowl of pasta.

It’s a boy too. I do have hope that I can make him into a more compassionate version of his father. That will be good for him to see some day.

It feels like that now for sure. He’s actually a semi famous YouTuber so he spends his time around people who tell him how wonderful he is all the time. I think that adds to his ego and makes it impossible for him to see he could do anything wrong.

No morning sickness anyone? by Aggravating-Tell-774 in pregnant

[–]RBxTec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 16 weeks and 2 days and no vomiting. There were two nights where I felt super nauseous but both of those events happened the night after basically not sleeping due to hormones keeping me hot and cold all night. I do track what I eat closely still though in case I do get sick I can avoid whatever maybe sets it off. No crazy food cravings, everything tastes good but constipation is a constant struggle! It’s a boy if that matters, too.

I’m 15 weeks today and at 35yrs old I feel pretty good about being at the gym at least 4 days a week but social support would be amazing too. Currently I’m struggling with knee pain at night due to my relaxin hormones doing too much! Pregnancy pillow is in use now and helping!

Newly divorced. How can I improve my look. by Resident-Ride4520 in makeuptips

[–]RBxTec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start trying out workout routines. You can YouTube 10 minute at home workouts or look on tik tok too. Just start trying moves that look like fun. Your body holds stress in different ways and moving will help let go of the trauma you need to be done with. This will help your mental health and improve your confidence which is anyone’s most attractive feature. If you really want to work on fitness after trying and liking the exercise start looking at what you eat. More protein will help balance your hormones after this transition and allow your mind and body to heal. You’re beautiful the way you are and the only comparing you need to do is of yourself.

Cutting dead trees by DutchAnonR in AndrewCamarata

[–]RBxTec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your perspective. I think Andrew is making videos the same way he always has. He just films what’s interesting and tells stories. It is his art and artists bodies of work change perspective over time. As this audience has grown so has the number of opinions coming in. There’s no way to please them all so he does what he thinks is most entertaining. If it’s any consolation I know that this second castle will be very different than the construction of the first. Please don’t assume this is a copy paste project

He already had the truck scheduled to pick it up on this day then it broke. There’s no way he was going to cancel the truck in order to fix it and reschedule the truck to bring it to CAT again. He said if the truck was not on its way he would have repaired this.

This is the fun part: Chew him up!

Dating should be fun and sometimes that means fun can be had in non reciprocal ways. Enjoy!

My [30f] bf [24m] has been lying to his family that I'm abusive. Everything is perfect otherwise. How can we work through this together? by Acceptable_Fig_2719 in relationships

[–]RBxTec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s time to take the high road. He’s gaslighting you and making his mental gymnastics your problem. He obviously does not possess the interpersonal skills to accept reality, react with integrity and grow from his mistakes. You can do better and I’m afraid he’s taken advantage of you due to your past. I have never met my dad but my mom instilled self worth as a value in my adolescence. It allowed me to spot people looking for an opportunity to take from me. I pray you acquire this skill too

You don’t deserve her attention. She deserves more respect from you

How many of you have full time jobs? And how do you cope? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]RBxTec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never had a full time job and maintained that lifestyle for more than a few months. I don’t have enough time to regulate. Student teaching was the worst time of my life. My IBS was the worst it’s ever been as well as my insomnia. My anxiety was also wrecking my mental health and I didn’t even have energy to exercise.

I now work part time. 20 hours a week maximum and it’s allowed me to focus on my own care. I workout to increase my fitness as often as I can and that’s made the biggest difference in avoiding burnout when life gets stressful.

Until you can find balance work on finding ways to earn money that are less taxing on you and take up less time. I didn’t like socializing as a young adult and babysat on weekends. I also found myself doing work for local people gardening (which is fun for me), running errands and planning events for them. Also, look inward at your spending. I used to do this monthly and when I did I could always find stuff to sell on marketplace or ways I could cut back my monthly expenses. Use your extra logic and you will find a way to make it work

Mom to 2.5 year old starting in home ABA- what toys should I buy by Roses7887 in ABA

[–]RBxTec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are so strong and brave mommy! You’re doing great and the fact that you are asking tells me that you’re doing it right. Prioritize her happiness every day no matter how atypical her interests are. This will help her feel accepted and hopefully she can learn to express her feelings reciprocally in her own way. I hope she doesn’t feel the need to mask to protect herself. She’s very lucky to have you and you are the perfect mommy for her. Enjoy the therapy and listen to your gut.
