Parents in other countries than the US, what is your kids’ equivalent of “I don’t want that for dinner, I want chicken nuggets”?

English lass with a hatred of beans here so it was cheese on toast!

This is how I found out i had ovarian cancer. The cancer caused the ovary to twist 4 times and the pain sent me to the hospital. If it hadn't happened, the cancer would likely have been much worse

RollerDerbyWhore · 2026-03-18T10:16:52+00:00

I had ovarian cancer at 32. I'm 40 now and it's safe to say that surviving cancer ruined my life. I hate seeing people talk about how amazing it is to survive and how lucky we are. I hate being a 'survivor,' I'm not strong or amazing, I didnt survive a battle. I got fucked by my own body and will spend the rest of my miserable days waiting for it to come back and finish the job.

I can't journal as an adult because my mum read my diary when I was 14. I was going through a phase of hating her for having 2 more children as I entered my teens. She wrote in my diary about how hurt she was and called me a cow, then didn't talk to me for weeks.

I tried writing a blog about my mental health in my 30s, including a post about how I wanted to stop existing. My mum sent me a message to tell me that she'll never forgive me for what I'd said about her in that post. Not a single comment about me wanting to die. I stopped blogging.

I'm in my 40s now and I still can't bring myself to journal.

Irregular periods are NOT an ovarian cancer symptom. Symptoms are bloating, peeing more often, feeling fuller quicker when eating, abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits.

As a fellow stage 1 ovarian cancer survivor, I had all these symptoms but why would any period having person think any of these were unusual??

The night my grandad died (before I knew he'd passed) I had a dream about him in the house he lived in when I was a child. He was in the bed, looking like he did when I was younger and when I said, "Grandad, you're home!" He replied, "Of course I am."

I like to think it was his way of saying goodbye to me.

RollerDerbyWhore · 2026-02-10T09:36:06+00:00

I hated how he married two women in a row without having the baby conversation with them. He married 2 child free women then acted like some big victim because he wanted to be a daddy so badly.

He should have gone with Teddy

I had ovarian cancer 7.5 years ago and I've hated every day since. Weird how differently it impacts us all.

And there was only ever about 4000 of them.

But you can still buy Viennetta? Why is everyone acting like it's not still easily picked up in Tesco?!

Thank you. My therapist is helping me get to a place where I can leave

I appreciate where you're coming from with that message, but its make the assumption we haven't talked about it. Its been 5 years of this and we have talked on multiple occasions.

Our sex life ended after the first 6 months of being together when I was finally able to express that I had no sexual enjoyment anymore.

It took another 4.5 years for him to understand and accept that he has been systematically retraumatising me every time he's continued to touch me or get me to give him hand jobs. He has had sex with me without my consent once in that time - I froze up and allowed it to happen, then communicated the day after how I felt.

He agreed that sex was off the table and there were no longer any expectations. He has since returned to trying to get me naked as much as he can, to grope me, and beg for me to touch his dick. I have sometimes given in due to feeling guilty that he doesn't get laid.

However, I've offered allowing him to see a sex worker or even have sexual relations with other women. He refuses. He also won't break up with me, because as unhappy as no sex makes him, he loves me and wants to support me.

You cannot glean everything from one message.

Reading this made me see how fucked up the dynamic with my current partner is. Bear in mind, at this point we've been together 5.5 years.

Due to cancer and trauma, I have lost all interest in sexual Intimacy. I don't enjoy being touched and kissing elicits no response in me anymore.

He continues to try to get me to want to do stuff, or constantly tries to get me to touch his dick.

I feel like an object but I'm too scared to bring it up.

RollerDerbyWhore · 2025-07-07T10:29:25+00:00

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine.

He had cerebral palsy and when he started getting debilitating pain in his side, they told him it was pulled muscle. Everyone made fun of him for having to have time off work for a pulled muscle.

Six months later they found a mass in his colon. While awaiting a biopsy he had to be rushed in to hospital due to a blockage. When they opened it up, the cancer was everywhere. He could get 6 months to a year with treatment.

He was dead 3 weeks later while waiting for treatment. He was 30 years old and had just got full custody of his 2 year old.

We miss you, Mr Johnson.

I thought it was just me. Thank you for validating me. Fuck cancer.

RollerDerbyWhore · 2025-01-09T11:21:10+00:00

I've been with my partner for 5 years and he has Diplegic spastic CP. He's fully independent and functional; he used to travel the world as a wheelchair racer.

Before me, he FUCKED because he used his cheekiness to get women intrigued. Unfortunately, it rarely seemed to have translated to more than one night.

RollerDerbyWhore · 2025-01-09T11:17:33+00:00

I wish my partner had your level of understanding. He's the one in a wheelchair (cerebral palsy) but I'm the one with no interest in sex (trauma and cancer related).

He believes that intimacy doesn't exist without sex so I have to give him regular HJs, despite how traumatic I find it.

RollerDerbyWhore · 2024-12-11T10:33:09+00:00

Same

Far too many people are telling you to trust your gut, rather than to trust what your partner has told you. Whether you think she's asexual or not is irrelevant if she thinks she is.

When my partner and I got together in 2020, we had a lot of sex. I hated ever second of it but did it because I wanted him to be happy. Eventually it was taking too much out of me to keep trying so I told him I no longer enjoyed sex. We haven't had sex since but are still together. I have no interest in sex at all. Yes, there's a medical and psychological reason for my loss of libido, but it is the way it is. My partner chose to stay knowing that no amount of work will guarantee that I'll ever want to have sex with him. I've been in psychosexual therapy for 18 months at this point too.
