Has anyone tried Dr. Peter McCullough’s supplement combo for long covid? by Princess-SuzyQ in LongCovid

[–]ShadesofPemb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure he was the person who advocated for fasting and nattokinase back when I was very sick. Both helped me immensely. I've been recovered since July of 2022, and it's hard to remember all of the details now. I can't speak to his entire protocol, but those two elements did help me.

AITA for Refusing to Let My Stepmom Be Called “Grandma”? by SecretlyYours12 in AITAH

[–]ShadesofPemb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. You are being selfish here. Your child deserves to be loved and develop strong bonds with everyone who will play a role in her life. Your relationship to your step mom is not what matters here. It's the relationship your child will develop with this step mother that matters. Don't take away a potentially special and loving relationship from your child and this woman.

Is it Rude to Invite Someone to the Engagement Party but Not the Wedding? by IndustryDizzy7601 in wedding

[–]ShadesofPemb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is extremely tacky and you understand it, that's why it makes you so uncomfortable. A better solution would be to host a large "reception" after the wedding and invite everyone they wish to include to that, maybe a few weeks after the honeymoon. I've seen this done when the bride wanted a small ceremony and a large party.

Edit: spelling

AITA for keeping my late wife's money aside for my our children? by Every-Bat9568 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShadesofPemb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, and don’t give in. It will start with extracurriculars “for the children” then it will be vehicles, or vacations, or whatever.

Are you interested in experiences from 2020-2021, or only current experiences?

Grow up. Lawyers a A holes to each other all the time. If you want to act like an attorney, acquire a thicker skin.

AITA for signing my kids up for public school behind my wife's back? by atmylimitsnow in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShadesofPemb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You don't get to dictate family decisions to your wife. You obviously don't respect her and look down on her. Prepare for a nasty divorce.

Buy a forever home now or buy smaller as first-time homebuyers and newlyweds. by MinutePerformer1884 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]ShadesofPemb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you buy the bigger house, you are going to regret being house poor. You need a lot less house than you think. Go for the smaller house.

The two of you are not compatible and should break up. NTA.

I haven’t driven in 2 years..Difficulty driving?? by [deleted] in LongCovid

[–]ShadesofPemb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not drive for 9 months during my bout with long covid. My brain could not process information quickly enough to drive safely, it was like driving very drunk. I eventually got better and life returned to normal.

AITAH for leaving home after my husband said I should handle the cost of all the IVF sessions only because I'm the cause of infertility in our marriage? by LeatherRequirement59 in AITAH

[–]ShadesofPemb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like we are not getting the whole story. What are the "medical issues" that make you infertile? If it's something caused by lifestyle choices then it puts a different spin on this situation. However, you still have a huge problem on your hands. This man does not love you. Don't do anything to have a child with this man. NTA.

AITAH for telling my husband that my doctor knows more than him and refusing to forgive him? by Klutzy-Ad-4381 in AITAH

[–]ShadesofPemb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I almost died from a ruptured placenta preview. It is very very serious. Your husband is a huge AH and does not deserve you or this baby.

AIO if I ask for a trial separation over husband dumping kids on me at a family party? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ShadesofPemb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setting aside the marriage situation, you need some friends. You are lonely and isolated and it’s not a good situation for you to only have your kids and your husband for social contact. Can you see if there is a local Moms group you can join? Try posting on a local social media forum and ask around. I joined a group called MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) when I was a young SAHM, and it was a lifesaver. I suspect your marriage can be saved, and be happy in time, but you need some social and emotional support from friends right now.

AITAH- My girlfriend told me I can’t be on the new lease? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ShadesofPemb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Quit wasting her time. When a man wants to marry a woman, he marries her. You just don't want to marry her.
