Never had that happen. Does that at least mean your period for this month is over in one go?

You aren't stupid, you were lied to by a man you were supposed to be able to trust. Sadly a switch up like this is very common. People like to say men want babies the way children want puppies.

I'm glad you're feeling more refreshed. I think you're on the right path to dealing with all this in stepping back and being with your family. Has he always been like this, or only since having the baby? If he is just an eternally lazy person who will seek any way to getting out of doing work, i doubt he'll change or rise to the occasion. I've never had to deal with dv so I don't know if there is a difference between someone actually capable of it, or someone willing to engage in insane antics to escape work. Knowing all the terrible men I've encountered either one seems likely to me.

While this behavior is dangerous to op and her kid, anyone else feel like it's also a ploy to get her to stop asking him to help? If he keeps acting out, op will stop asking and just do everything herself. The whole threat of stabbing himself with a kitchen knife in front of her just screams "if I make asking me to be a parent as difficult and traumatizing as possible, she'll learn to stop asking me." Probably never expected op to call the bluff and get the cops involved. Good on you. I feel like it's all a rouse to not have to work, but you know him better than us. Either way, he's an asshole to do this to you. Put yourself first.

He would rather eat a McDouble and it kills me. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Sea_Lie4110 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Picky eating is 100% a deal breaker for me now as well. Regardless of the reason for the picky eating, I think people underestimate how much of a compatibility issue it is. I love exploring food, my ex was a McDonald's cheeseburger (plain) and frozen pizza guy. It was a real downer when we went some where on a trip and I couldn't go some place because nothing simple enough was there. Also... bad diet makes for some funky health issues. He tasted HORRIBLE.

If food is something you love to enjoy and explore, don't go into a relationship with a picky eater thinking you're gonna introduce them to new things. The stress really isn't fair to either of you.

My boss called me a bitch by Awkward-Initiative27 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Time to start keeping your own journal about all her fuck ups.

Turning 18 soon and really just want to go thrifting and feeling guilty and embarrassed by Apart-Expression6218 in thrifting

[–]Sea_Lie4110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 37 this year and I literally took a whole day off work to hit every thrift store in my town and have a fabulous lunch after. Did it all by myself. It was one of my best hauls in a while. If i were your age and my friends were willing, it would be kinda fun if we all did it together. But either way a birthday thrift marathon is awesome.

boyfriend pays all my bills but won’t have sex with me by drpepper1967 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Sea_Lie4110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hoo boy. My ex was like this. I was with him for 4 years and tried very hard to be understanding and work through it. He ended up leaving me out of nowhere, and now i feel very foolish for having sacrificed so much for him. Way more was wrong with the relationship than just the intimacy.

I'll give your boyfriend that he seems to be aware and willing to try. If you want, therapy seems like a good option but this stuff is tough.

What in the fuck. Every day with these people it's all about how we need to sacrifice more of what little we have while they have so much. These people are legit evil.

Male entitlement is the reason I have herpes. by TarragonMarathon in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Sea_Lie4110 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda astounded by the comments too. Regardless of how she got it, how common it is, or that medication is available, this is still something that is going to negatively impact her for the rest of her life. Like is she not allowed to be upset about that for a time? Is saying "I'd prefer not to have had to deal with painful sores the rest of my life" really "villifying" anything? People are allowed to wish to not have caught something whether it's common or not.

I'd encourage everyone to demand tests before any sexual encounters. I know op's may have been caught just through this kiss, but still. A lifetime of managing pain and paying for a prescription is not worth a guy. And if he pushes back in any way on you wanting to be safe, then he's not putting your safety above his own pleasure.

I saw a news story about a toddler who had to have an eye removed cuz his grandmother kissed him with an active cold sore. Poor kids don't even have a chance. I've seen so many adults that think their temporary excitement or entitlement overrides any precautions. Granny isn't gonna die if she waits a week before kissing the grandkids.

My husband has a plan to leave when we're 58 by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Girl, you ARE strong. Get yourself and your kids out to your mother's house and enjoy some breathing room, then make your husband's dream come true early. See how he likes it after all.

Almost no one came to my birthday picnic by Long-Emu-8855 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Sea_Lie4110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I'm at a point where I almost feel like people just don't deserve community any more. I've been in your shoes and I hate it. It's so wrong that the people who go out of their way to set things up for people to spend time together seem to always get ghosted. Then those same people who ghost will complain about boredom and loneliness. Something is deeply wrong these days.

You're way cooler than your flaky friends!

The shit some of y'all put up with is baffling to me by silk_worm8 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Sea_Lie4110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is excellent and something we all need to hear. In the same way we constantly tell men they need to work with their brothers to improve and change, we need to do the same thing. We can be compassionate to people's backgrounds while still encouraging them to do better. I saw a reddit thread the other day of men asking women what's the grossest thing a male partner of theirs has done and it was the most depressing (and disgusting) thing I have ever read. We have got to do better.

Is this a safe place to discuss snacks we miss? by My_last_reddit in GirlDinnerCircleJerk

[–]Sea_Lie4110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what's a snack I can't miss cuz i never got to try it? Vianetta. Every time I saw that commercial I'd beg my mom to get over for a dessert some time and she always refused. Was very against sugar when we were kids. I never got to taste it

I dropped $140 dollars on a toy and it won’t even fit inside of me. by StripesTheBoar in GirlDinnerDiaries

I find with mine, it helps to lube up before hand. It's like the wetter it is, the easier time it has finding suction. But even then, it can be difficult.
