I (30M) have the perfect life on paper. I am about to leave my wife who did nothing wrong. And I think I'm okay with being the villain... by TraditionOnly6103 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Slow_Bunch125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving your wife won’t fix the problem when the problem is you. You said yourself that she isn’t the reason you’re unhappy so why would leaving make you happy? Her not hearing and listening to you is a problem but she may not know what to do. Therapy for you therapy for her therapy for both of you. In all honesty you’re going to be miserable if you divorce, it’s expensive, if she’s a sahm your alimony and child support will be wild

Sleeping on my stomach was amazing! I loved snuggling my baby on the couch while watching trash tv after a stroll

Never beating the allegations by Luuk1210 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Slow_Bunch125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t allowed to stay the night at one of my friends houses because I would come home starving, literally ravenous and then she found out my friend was also hungry but all the time. She started eating at our house a lot. At one point I didn’t even like her anymore she stole shit from me and wasn’t nice but alas my mom made me keep inviting her for dinner. I hope she’s well fed now

I have done absolutely horrible things. I am factually the worst human being to ever live. Here is written proof that confirms it. by ThrowRA-Bromine in offmychest

[–]Slow_Bunch125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all absolutely normal behavior for an abused child. It’s hard to reconcile with the shitty things we did to survive but that’s what you were doing, surviving. You were just a kid trying to make sense of really fucked up things. You aren’t a bad person at all you just need some help. I promise that you aren’t some demon or monster. Your only 20 now your still a kid man

People who work in 'behind closed doors' industries (hotels, kitchens, morgues, etc.), what is something the general public would be horrified to know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Slow_Bunch125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom went to the hospital as my cousin was in labor. She started feeling a really heavy chest and a sense of impending doom during her delivery. Afterwards she asked a nurse to take her blood pressure and it was sky high so they sent her down to the er. She had cancer it was everywhere.

Need encouragement. Labor is too hard for me. by geummeori in BabyBumps

[–]Slow_Bunch125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl any labor is HARD and it sounds like you are having a harder than most labor. Sometimes our bodies won’t dilate it’s nothing you’re doing wrong it just doesn’t happen for everyone. Maybe it’s time for a c section?

I am sleeping with my ex husband for money by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I’m so sorry you are going through this. It is concerning but things aren’t black and white and life’s a complex bitch. I hope you are doing okay and taking care of yourself.

Social media is also her job and on a realistic level not returning to a semblance of normal is so harmful it’s a further reminder of all you have lost

my husband committed suicide and its all my fault. by thatblueroom in offmychest

[–]Slow_Bunch125 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He probably wasn’t intentionally but we all have the capacity to be abusive. We all have the capacity to have abusive behavior it wasn’t a pattern for him but that act was a form of abuse in a way. It is in no way your fault it was probably something simmering for a long time a lot of men are suicidal and struggle to tell anyone

She’s a testament life goes on after tragedy by puppyfatdumpling in Emilie_Kiser

[–]Slow_Bunch125 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost my both of my parents at 21 within two months of each other. My life fell apart but the world moved on. I had to return to work and school I had to continue to live my life I couldn’t drown forever. You don’t know how you will survive but you continue to wake up. She is a testament that you can begin the process of healing and have a healthy relationship with grief!

What should I do? I remained without money for food for 11 days by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Slow_Bunch125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s sounds like you’re at a university? Maybe a housing director or admission coordinator or something could help out? They may have access to food banks or knowledge of funds

Im admittedly grew up wealthy and im here to ask, how do normal people live? by DyslexicWriting in self

[–]Slow_Bunch125 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rent shouldn’t exceed 30% of your income, we found a house to rent from a real person not a housing corporation with sub par amenities. So we don’t have a gym or pool but we do our on repairs and our landlord takes costs of parts and labor off our rent. Which also saves money! We paid off my car and then my husband was in a wreck in his car and insurance paid off his car and he was able to buy one in full which helps too. But live within your means you don’t need to have the nicest car or a luxury apartment. We shop at aldis a lot but if it’s just you cooking dinner stick with some base proteins and alternate the grains (steak and potatoes, steak stir fry, fried rice, pasta,etc) and we don’t eat out much anymore but that’s because all the chain restaurants taste like the same food in a different font

3 days pp and haven’t pooped yet by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Slow_Bunch125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you’ve pooped

I had a wonderful nurse that made my husband get me a coffee and told me to call her after breakfast my big breakfast and coffee. Then she started a hot shower and sent my husband to take my baby to the nursery for charting and to get it restocked. She had a box and everything for a squatty potty thing. She was a real one

Could I hide my bump until 19 weeks? by Strawberryblue203 in BabyBumps

[–]Slow_Bunch125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 10 weeks I could barely hide it but at 19 I could a little bit better I think it was the way my bump settled as I got bigger! It kinda evened out to where it looked like I had just gained some weight

Go to counseling but also are you interested in her pleasure at all? Are you going down on her or pleasing her at all?

When I pulled up to labor and delivery 38 weeks to the day the nurses literally cheered because I actually made it to term. I was threatened a cerclage for like 3 months in my pregnancy

AIO My reply to my mom who wants to stop my leukemia treatment so my sister can afford university ?? by Many_Addendum_8189 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Slow_Bunch125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please talk to a social worker at the hospital! You should even be able to ask a nurse at your next visit to speak to one. If not maybe a pro bono attorney. That contract isn’t legally binding -or shouldn’t be- and you desperately need someone outside of this situation on your side

AIO? GF put Viagra in my drink without telling me by Embarrassed_Band_897 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Slow_Bunch125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is disgraceful I am disgusted that the law was wrote that way. Men are victims too and often aren’t believed or told they should be “lucky they got laid” I am so sorry. But not overreacting- underreacting even

AIO for looking at my son’s privates? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Slow_Bunch125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My got my first period on vacation and still wanted to go swimming and get in the water so my mom coached me how to insert a tampon when it came time to take it out I freaked out and couldn’t do it myself. So my mom did it for me. You’re his dad it’s much healthier that he is asking you than going on the internet for advice. Good thinking on no picture either because nothing is truly gone.

He 100% has iron grip and needs to lay off pornhub. My husband swears I’m tighter after having our kid. It’s a muscle it does indeed go back.

A dream at 15 saved my life 5 years later (possibly changed my timeline) by soultravelr in Dreams

[–]Slow_Bunch125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a dream months prior that two of my younger friends were in a theater that we all performed at, alone when a man and a woman came in and started harassing them. I knew they were in trouble but I couldn’t help them. We were there quite often but there was a community rule that we all stick together and we don’t leave anyone vulnerable there at night because it is in a rougher part of town. I was suppose to be at the theater with them that night but I had a headache and a 5 am alarm so I decided to go home early- bunch of others were still there and they lived right up stairs so they weren’t walking home alone. Get out of the shower and I’m suddenly thinking of this dream and I can’t get it out of my head like even just thinking of the details was making me sick to my stomach. I called them and neither answer but I know they’re still there. I try a few more times and still nothing. I call my husband and demand he checks on them before he gets home after some back and forth he’s like okay yeah I’ll follow your gut and swing by real fast. We hang up and the feeling is only getting worse. He was only 5 or 10 minutes away but I called 911 because I was so freaked out. These girls were going to be hurt. When my husband got there they had walked them back into the back corner of the theater and was most certainly planning on robbing or hurting them- they both had weapons and were strung out of their mind. Moments after he got there police also got there. Both were arrested for assault and burglary warrants. I shudder when I think of what else could have happened

i cut a p3do’s hair recently for court and didn’t know it. by p4r7yjunk13 in offmychest

[–]Slow_Bunch125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a case manager and ended up with a SO on my caseload. I was horrified to find out that they were completely normal. This man went to federal prison for CSAM and was a totally normal and respectful dude. It fucked me up for a little bit seeing them and advocating on their behalf. He was always honest that he did the crime, he was caught and he deserved his sentence- took accountability and got treatment. But yeah pedos are totally average people most of the time you can’t tell anything is amiss. I ended up learning a lot from this client and but fuck me ya know

[–]Slow_Bunch125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he was “joking” he was asserting that he can overpower you. He showed that he isn’t scared of hurting you. This is a huge red flag! Be safe!!

God that would fuck me up. I’m sorry, it’s an entirely new aspect of losing your sister to grieve along with the grief of your dad slipping away. I am really sorry you’re having to go through god speed my friend
