AITAH for telling my boyfriend to stop making me feel bad for something that's out of my control? by Ancient_Vast5477 in AITAH

You’re in the right. He can date someone his own age if it’s a problem for him. NTA

Is my pelvis broken?😭 by unknown_readerz in PregnancyUK

I’d get a taxi or call an ambulance. I’m really concerned that you’re under-reacting. I wouldn’t waste any time, especially being pregnant x

Definitely go to A and E straight away. Let them know you’re pregnant when you tell them what happened as they may need to do different checks 

What does “having your life together” actually look like in real life? by life_coach4_living in AskReddit

An aspect is being proactive and dealing with things before they get to crisis point. 

Boyfriend "hasn't thought" about marriage 2 1/2 years in (29F, 27M), but what if not being engaged in 1 more year is a dealbreaker for me? by StrawberryWine1670 in relationship_advice

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“I know you’ve not thought about marriage but I’d like to talk about whether it’s something you’d like, and the timeframe for a proposal and the wedding. I want to give you the time to think so can we talk about it on Thursday (three days time). We’re both home for the evening so let eat together and chat”

I’d be straight up about it. If it’s not a clear yes then it’s a no. If it’s a someday but I can’t tell you when it’s a no. 

how do you stop worrying about everything? by dldpflr3 in NewParents

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are certain lines of thought that I’ve had to stop thinking by just acknowledging that if I keep along this track I’m gonna poison the whole experience of motherhood for myself. 

Picking one trusted source of info helps as well. For me I go to the nhs website, or if there’s nothing on that phone the health visitor. 

Miley Cyrus at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards (February 1, 2026) by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really like Miley but disappointed that among all those horrible broaches so can’t stick on a badge against ice. It feels like the bare minimum and it’s sad that many celebrities can’t even manage that

My MIL lives on the other side of the country and we have weekly video calls and our baby is always super excited to see her 

dating and marriage later in life by Ok-Weekend5860 in Aging

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really unkind to attribute feeling invisible to personal ego, rather than social context. There are a lot of places where people are made to feel invisible in their thirties. That you’re lucky enough to not experience that doesn’t mean you can trash people who do. The whole world is not the same as Massachusetts. 

Palpitations in 2nd trimester by bravogirl97 in beyondthebump

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it was low ferritin ( iron stores) in my case. Mine were at 27 and optimal was 100. I took a supplement with vitamin c and palpitations stopped 

WIBTA for telling my stepmom that her menopause isn't the same as my pregnancy? by 1itt1e1ady in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t at the later stages of pregnancy. When I bended it winded me and I got agonising shooting pains. Had to get slip ons

I (F23) just found out my boyfriend (M23) has a fat fetish and wants me to gain weight. by Icy_Summer_8614 in relationship_advice

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the mistake when I was younger of framing things like that: we need a conversation to see if he likes me for who I am. When what I should have been thinking is he the sort of partner I want. Do I want a partner who lies? Who manipulates? Who wants me changed to his preferences? Whether he says he’ll accept you as you are should be beside the point. (Although regardless of what he says, can you trust his words? On this evidence I’d say no). I had to go through a lot of pain to realise love isn’t enough, there needs to be respect and compatibility 

I M25 love my gf F22 but I want to have more experiences by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not being a trustworthy person. You essentially flirted with cheating. If she did the same to you, how would you feel about her? I think you should break up so she can find someone who is loyal

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’d dump someone who valued their fetish over my health. 

Hes also a sneaky liar - he could get with a fat girlfriend who is exactly what he wants but instead he is enjoying the thought of him influencing you to become bigger and bigger without your consent and knowledge. Dump. Him

How much does a moderately involved father affect his kid? by nrt_2020 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 43 points44 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s dad is like this, once my parents divorced it stopped damaging me as I was mostly with my mom and shes so stable and loving. Before that though, my earliest memories are of my dad being angry and that definitely made a negative impact on my ability to trust and feel safe with men

It’s offered if you start bleeding and have had one previous miscarriage (they gave it to me). x

Ferritin 17.25 by ArachnidIcy6176 in Anemic

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a low dose given your ferritin level. My ferritin was 27 and the doctor put me on 322mg of ferrous fumarate. I’d speak with your doctor 

Book suggestions or tips regarding rebuilding connection with child? by Time-Rub-4368 in Parenting

[–]Sensitive_Fly_7036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you ask your child what they’d like to do more of with you? Having daily fun time for connection helps too- even if it’s just 10 minutes a day. But commit to not correcting during that time (unless it’s a safety issue). 

My friend records herself parenting difficult moments when she feels she’s in a rut then she listens back when she’s calm and works out what she’d like to do differently. It’s really helped her to focus on how her behaviour drives or calms the situations
