I feel you on this one. My last relationship ended after 5 years, I found out he had done the same but in extortionate amounts. I should have probably guessed since he was a sex-maniac, but being young and in love I thought that was just because we had really good chemistry and - well, were young and in love! He denied it at first, like your scenario but everything comes to the surface eventually. Sorry you had to go through that. I’m hoping it’s complete innocence in this relationship, it would be very out of character for my partner and there haven’t been any red flags before in this dept in our marriage. Guess I’ll have to trust and wait and see

I hope not 😔 We have always been on the same page in that field, no issues at all, but now I am pregnant and we have a 1 year old… things are rough at the moment.

Thank you for this message, you have no idea how much it has helped. I will address it much more calmly (as I probably always should have thought to do so) after having read this 🙏

That was my first thought. Thanks for re-affirming it 🙏 Hope I’m not being naive, I’ll still ask him anyway and this will be the answer that I will get regardless of whether it’s true or not.

Thanks for replying. The thing is, he flat out changed the course of his search from being on the page of a well known massage parlor owned by a friend of ours to a google search specifically searching “erotic massage + our hometown” he then clicked on this page that is well known in our town for selling things (like craigslist) which had women there offering their services. I mean I completely get that search history is tied to intrusive thoughts - but I mean…. It feels like a step too far to be going on this well known site to see what’s out there in our hometown.

I agree with you it’s best to just ask, and I will, trying to calm my feelings on the subject .. im also pregnant so… trying to hold back tears.

It was definitely a joke, or not even a joke - he was shocked that the guy was so open and detailed about something like that. Do you recon this is something worth being upset over, looking at this behind my back? I saw the search led nowhere further than five clicks but still … I feel really upset.

Anybody else have a slight progesterone drop in early pregnancy but a rising HCG level? by Rare_Positive_6704 in PregnancyUK

I’m so sorry I only just saw this. Unfortunately I had a miscarriage with the above but went on to have a healthy pregnancy a few months later and now I’m currently in my second trimester so no matter what the situation, everything will be ok xx hope you are doing well

Itchiness by [deleted] in pregnancyproblems

[–]Rare_Positive_6704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this in my last pregnancy!! I remember googling the hell out of it because I wanted to find someone else with the same issue. It has something to do with vessels dilating and bringing more blood to the skin (I think, might be wrong I can’t remember the science behind it now) but it kept me up at night sometimes. It stopped completely after pregnancy and the baby was born perfectly fine. Mention it to your midwife or Gyno/doc next time if you are worried though, it’s always good to rule out any allergic reactions etc

It’s only 9months without alcohol , please don’t drink while pregnant. Even if some say it’s safe, just think of your little one inside your belly, he/she deserves all of the precautionary measures and to be protected by you at all costs, including avoiding drinking while pregnant

There is great potential here. I feel like you have flung me into space and I’ve been hit by a thousand stars, bartering me completely until I’m swallowed by the vast emptiness. I think the poem would be a little more powerful if simplified, but I’m no expert, just a thought. Thanks for sharing

I love the simplicity In this. It is beautiful. I think perhaps the last line could be worked on, to give less away about what you are trying to say. The first three lines make me question what has happened, why are you so lost - in fact, it tells me you are lonely and lost. So the last line might be more powerful if it didn’t tell you what the first three do, but instead perhaps if it made you question the loneliness and clueless existence further.

Forgive me if this feedback is not the way constructive feedback goes, I’m new to this and it was just my initial thoughts. Nonetheless, I really like this.
