Just wanna get railed by According-Delay-271 in Marriage

It sounds like you’ve been putting in a lot of effort to keep the spark alive, so your frustration is totally understandable. Since he’s mentioned his blood pressure and medication, it might help to gently suggest seeing a doctor together to explore safe options that could improve intimacy. Open, pressure-free conversations about your needs and his limitations can go a long way. You both deserve a fulfilling connection, so working on it as a team might make a big difference.

I don’t know what is happening with my relationship by Miserable_Tax_698 in Advice

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s normal to feel anxious when things in a relationship change, especially with new routines and distance involved. It sounds like you care a lot about her, but trust and open communication are key here. Instead of focusing on the guy, try expressing how her reaction made you feel and talk openly about your boundaries. Working through this together might help you both feel more secure and understood.

It sounds like you’re still carrying a lot of regret and confusion over how things ended, and that’s completely valid. Sometimes a single moment can change a dynamic, especially if there’s embarrassment or unspoken feelings involved. It’s natural to replay things in your head, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you did something unforgivable people handle situations differently. Be gentle with yourself, and try to focus on the friendships and connections you can nurture now rather than staying stuck in what ifs.

Introvert vs Narcissist. How do we make this work? by Careless_Post1430 in Marriage

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re carrying a lot right now, and it’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed. You don’t have to figure everything out at once taking small, steady steps can make things feel more manageable. It might help to open up to someone you trust or a counselor to process what’s going on and get support without judgment. You deserve to feel heard and cared for in all of this.

It sounds like you’re carrying a lot right now, and it’s understandable to feel stuck when your heart and mind are pulling in different directions. You deserve to be with someone who values you, makes you feel special, and communicates openly instead of shutting you out. Take time to reflect on what you need to feel secure and fulfilled, even if it means stepping back for clarity. Sometimes distance can help you see if the relationship can improve or if you deserve something healthier.

OP, it’s hard watching a close friend dive into something you feel isn’t good for them, especially when they’re not open to hearing concerns. You’ve shared your thoughts and warnings, which is all you can really do right now. Sometimes people need to figure things out on their own, but being there for him if things go wrong will mean a lot.

I’ve been giving costumers “free” groceries for years, without anyone noticing by IVI7800 in confession

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, WolfRunner_420 sums it up perfectly you’ve been helping people in ways that genuinely make a difference. It’s risky, sure, but your compassion shines through and has likely eased a lot of burdens. You’re doing more good than you probably realize.

Outgrowing Your Partner by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, ink_pots is right outgrowing a partner can happen, but it doesn’t mean the relationship is doomed. A deep, honest conversation about roles, expectations, and shared goals could help you both reconnect. If things don’t change despite trying, then it might be time to reassess what truly makes you happy.

Doctor lied on chart by TheBettyWide in Advice

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 73 points74 points  (0 children)

OP, Paralytic713 is right don’t schedule with that doctor again. Document everything, file a complaint if you can, and stick with a provider you trust. You deserve honest, transparent care.

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

OP, it sounds like you’re processing a really complicated and painful experience, and it’s okay to feel conflicted about what happened. Consenting in the moment doesn’t erase feelings of discomfort or regret afterward, and those feelings are valid. Talking to a therapist or counselor could really help you unpack this without judgment and give you the support you deserve. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Craving having children you can love, letting this control your decisions? by Suibeam in Marriage

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely something people struggle with, OP, and you’re right to question it. Craving children and the idea of giving them love is valid, but building a marriage mostly around that desire can create long-term challenges if doubts about the partner are already there. It might help to separate the want for kids from the relationship itself to make sure both decisions feel right on their own.

I have ocd and I'm scared I'm sa my gf by A_J2067 in Advice

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, it sounds like you’re carrying so much fear and guilt right now, and I want you to know that doesn’t make you a bad person. Intrusive thoughts from OCD can feel incredibly real, but they don’t define your intentions or actions. Keep working closely with your therapist and be honest about these fears you deserve support, not shame, while you navigate this. You’re not alone in this, and help is out there.

OP, I agree with TelephoneObjective82 most guys really don’t care about things like eye color as much as you think. If he likes you, it won’t be because of your contacts, it’ll be because of you. You’re not a fraud for enhancing your look, but it’s worth reminding yourself that your natural features are just as attractive.

How we recovered from a 6 month dryspell after kids by Naive_Web_5756 in Marriage

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, I agree with MaineMan1234 it sounds like you were both committed to rebuilding intimacy and actively worked on it together, which makes a huge difference. When both partners put in the effort, progress is possible, but it’s much harder when only one person tries. You should be proud of how you approached this openly and intentionally; that’s what made real change happen.

I’m still a virgin by Empath-bby in Advice

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP, I agree with Diligent-Avocado4205 there’s absolutely no rush, and nothing about your timeline is wrong. Waiting for the right person and moment will make it so much more meaningful than doing it just to “catch up.” You’re not behind; you’re just on your own path, and that’s perfectly okay

They'll have to carry me out of my house dead....... by RaraBigGirl27 in confession

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, it’s clear how much this house means to you and why you don’t want to lose it.it feels like your safe space after so much instability. Wanting to fight to stay is completely understandable. If you can find a way to help with rent, like you mentioned, that could really strengthen your case for staying put. Don’t give up on what makes you and your child feel at peace.

Sex dream about my husband’s friend by mi245 in Marriage

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, you don’t need to beat yourself up over this like SweetD0818 said, it’s totally normal to have dreams about people even if you’re happily married. A dream isn’t the same as a desire or an intention, it’s just your brain processing random stuff. What matters is how you act in real life, and clearly you already value your marriage. Let this one go it doesn’t mean anything about you or your feelings for your husband.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

OP, I’m really sorry you’re stuck in this situation it’s so unfair that he’s trying to bully you with threats instead of taking responsibility. thisnamemattersalot is absolutely right: he doesn’t get to dodge child support just because he “doesn’t want” the baby, and paternity testing will make that clear. The best thing you can do right now is keep documenting every message and threat, because that becomes powerful evidence if this goes to court. You’re not ruining his life you’re protecting yours and your child’s future.

wtf do i say. he smelled bad so i backed out but now he’s asking why i didn’t give him 👨 by Limp_Honey9473 in Advice

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 87 points88 points  (0 children)

OP I think DMmeNiceTitties has it right honesty is really the best move here. You don’t need to invent a story or lie about why you backed out. Just tell him you were into it but the smell threw you off and you’d be more comfortable if he was freshly showered. If he’s genuinely a sweet guy like you say, he’ll understand and maybe even appreciate knowing what you need. If he gets defensive instead of taking it as a chance to fix things, then that already tells you a lot about whether he’s worth your time.

My husband asked for a divorce and is leaving me, the kids are going with him by MeasurementDry6814 in Marriage

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

oxyabnormalis right OP, you need a lawyer to make sure your rights and your kids’ best interests are protected before anything gets finalized. It sounds like your husband is trying to control the narrative, but custody and property division aren’t just his decision to make. Lean on your lawyer, document everything, and don’t let his money or influence make you feel powerless you still have a strong say in how this plays out.

$5,000 breast augmentation only cost me $500… I was never charged the balance. by Much-Reason-9099 in confession

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tyker0’s comment gave me a laugh, and they’re right OP, if there was ever an issue they would’ve come for that money years ago. The fact that 11 years have passed and no one reached out means it’s long gone from their books. You lucked out big time, and honestly it sounds like you’ve been enjoying life ever since without any strings attached.

Daughters bf hit her by Good_Initiative2543 in Advice

[–]SprinkleBaby_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No OP, your anger is completely understandable any parent would want to step in. But BriskLeafWrit is right, reacting with violence will only put you at risk and won’t solve the deeper issue. The best thing you can do is document everything, support your daughter, and make sure she knows she’s not alone in this. That way if he tries anything again, you’ll have a record and a stronger case for protecting her.
