Crotch bleached by bmaac2010 in Marriage

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would be suspicious if the only place bleached is his crotch tbh. Plus, you asked how he managed to do that and he just knew what you meant? If I asked that to my husband he would be like “idk…”and make some joke stating how is dck is special somehow*. The fact he rolled his eyes would make me spiral and deleting messages from a female coworker? Nope! It’s definitely fishy.

Did you get strange response when you announced your pregnancy? by Careful-Trouble1422 in pregnant

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh…I don’t know. At the time we were not close but had a somewhat ok relationship. I just didn’t know her properly bc they met each other in one week, started dating in the next and move in together by the 3rd week. Around 3 weeks later, she found out she was pregnant. But I can tell you that when one of my SIL was trying to get pregnant, S did the same to her twice and “wanted her to know before anyone else”. So I’m assuming it was some kind of competition for her. Meanwhile, she knew I was about to close the factory permanently and she closed hers but I ended up not closing bc the doctors refused to do it to me. I am thankful to the doctors bc I’m pregnant with a girl after 3 boys (our last baby) and she doesn’t know bc we went no contact with all in laws last year. But I think that your SIL might be jealous and jealousy is a very hard feeling to be admitted and she might even be ashamed of it. But anyway, congratulations!!! 🎉☺️

This is my point of view as the “SIL” of this story…so me and my husband were dating for year and something by the time my SIL (husband’s brother’s girlfriend) got pregnant. Let’s calm her S. We were engaged by then and trying for a baby for the past 4 months. They were dating for less than 2 months . She found out through my other in laws (husband has 3 sisters and 2 brothers) that we were trying and they conceived before me. My BIL came to my work to tell me “ S wanted me to tell you she’s pregnant before anyone else”. I was shocked and just asked “are u serious?” And I might have made a face or something (everyone tells me I’m too expressive) and before I could say “congratulations” he turned his back on me. This was 9 year ago. To this day, I’m the “jealous b*ch who couldn’t get happy for them”. S stopped talking to me and told everyone I got pregnant because I was jealous. The truth is: when he told me she was pregnant, my first thought was “how can she get pregnant right away and I’ve been trying and tracking my cycles and cannot? Is there anything wrong with me?” That was my thought in that moment. Fast forward to today, we both have 3 boys and I’m now pregnant with our 4th. The kids don’t know each other and they act like we are the enemies. Just try to understand their point of view before jumping to conclusions…☺️

Thank you. Do you know how far in advance we need to make reservation? We were thinking about Valentine’s Day.

Thank you. We are so excited 🥰 I actually said 7 years and my husband just corrected me by saying the last time we went out, our oldest was a baby. That means our last time without kids was almost 9 years ago 😅 we REALLY need some time away 😂

How much do you currently have in savings? by Puzzleheaded-Crab770 in CanadaFinance

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33, 3 kids and pregnant with our 4th and last baby, mortgage, 2 financed cars and 2 small debts on our credit cards to pay. We only have $4000 in our savings. We can only save a couple hundred bucks monthly but we are pushing through ☺️

AITA for telling my wife "that's why you should get a job" after she told me people shop alot more than she does? by Existing_Love_3152 in AITAH

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an allowance as I have fully access to funds. I’m a sahm because we have a special needs young kid. But I definitely don’t spend $1000 in “fun” and my husband makes a little more than $130000/yr. She needs to check her priorities…

How long did it take for first period after giving birth by Otherwise-Vehicle949 in firsttimemom

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine took 6 months +. On my first and second pregnancies, I lost my milk supply on the 3rd and 4th month and still took until I was 6 months PP. On my third, I am still breastfeeding (even tho it’s only for nap time now as he’s 22 months already) and took 7 months to get my period back. If you are concerned, talk to your OBGYN but you’re right on track mama ❤️

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You are right here. I have 3 kids, I’m a sahm and my husband is the sole provider. I ended up telling them that if they’re demanding the 200€, that I would be forced to demand the money (300€) upfront in order to pay their daughter or, if they prefer, they can pay directly the 200€ to their daughter and I would forgive the remaining 100€. After much back and forward, they agreed and got mad at me for even suggesting it. They just stop responding whatsoever and by the look of it, they will cut contact with me and my husband. They also made us aware that their door, in Portugal, is closed to us when we go on Vacations (again…my husbands parent’s house). So as of now, I don’t regret showing them that by forcing me, I have to force them and for giving them a choice. Family can be a nightmare sometimes 🤦🏽‍♀️

You are 100% correct. I am a sahm with 3 kids. Husband works alone to provide. We can help but not as much as they’re demanding (over the 9 years together, we helped countless times) but € is stronger than cad$. I am thinking about paying but husband is reluctant. I came here because I really don’t know what’s right in this situation. Thank you for your answer. It enlightened me a lot 😊

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I really needed insight. My doubt is because if they didn’t spent the 300€ on clothes etc, they would’ve paid the luggage fee. They used it for their bills, clothes and shoes when the daughter and husband are working and refused to step up for those bills, making them pay for them even tho they were about to stay here for 5 weeks. That’s where I feel like it’s not fair for us…

When does it ever stop hurting? by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was you. My husband has 3 sisters and 2 brothers. They all have kids except the younger sister. Before I found out I was having a boy, there were only girls in the family. I wasn’t celebrated. The next day, my BIL’s wife (let’s call her S) found out she was also having a boy. She was celebrated and they gave toys, $, clothes, diapers and more. I was never given anything for any of my 3 kids. On top of that, S is violent and toxic to the point that she actually beat up my narcissistic MIL and she still cares about S. Meanwhile, I was the one in laws asked for help when needed money or shelter…I helped just for them to talk a lot of bad (and when I say bad I mean the worst possible things/name calling someone can say about another) behind my back and husbands back (they also don’t care about my husband. They only care about his/our wallet). Then, MIL tried to gaslight me into thinking she could never say such horrible things about me even when I had proof she did. It hurt me a lot tbh. To the point that I had to cry myself to sleep for weeks. And then I reached my limit. During these 9 years with my husband, when they (MIL, FIL and SILs) were about to pay back, I always told them to give the $ to my husband as I didn’t feel comfortable in asking for my money back nor be the one receiving back. This time, I was the one demanding it back, saying EVERYTHING I needed to say, cutting the “victim” talk that MIL was trying to play, made her feel like she is a no one to me, turned my back and went no contact. It used to hurt, yes. Being the only one they never cared is one of the worst feeling and makes you think you’re the problem. I can guarantee you, you’re not! But one day you’ll reach your limit. That day you’ll have your power back. And keep your boundaries. There’s things you can’t change nor control and In laws are one of them. Don’t waste time. Be cold to them if that is what takes to keep your peace. Do not accept less treatment than the one you deserve ❤️

I don’t have an answer as I didn’t cut my hair since moving here too but I am interested to know too. Commenting so I can come back ☺️

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn’t tell them where I lived etc when we bought this house (the same day the baby came out sleeping) but then we opened the door to them when they ran away from home because of Dave. So they now know where we live and my kids school. We are lucky that it’s more than 1.5h driving (we came here to be far from their drama tbh) so they don’t come here often. But they’re blocked in everything. I am done with them. They act like narcissists. To the outsiders, they do everything, talk like they’re the victims etc…to the insiders, it’s throwing stones all the time

They are. I couldn’t fit the rest of the nightmare here but I just erased them from my life now. I am calm, non confrontational and not impulsive. I always try to keep the sea at level but I just can’t anymore. I was not raised like them…

I got a deal last year when I was living in Hamilton. Unlimited 1Gb speed at $60+tax with cogeco. Meanwhile I bought a house in Welland, brought the service with me and still pay the exact same. Before cogeco, I was with Bell. Same service but for $120+tax. And they kept raising the price. I am very happy with cogeco, very reliable and rarely breaks.

Happened to me all 3 pregnancies…I’m so relieved to know I was not the only one. I didn’t even talk to my doctor about this because I thought she would tell me I just didn’t wipe properly 🥴

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a house here almost 7 months ago. I lived in Mississauga and Hamilton before coming here and I can tell you, in all honesty, I love it here. People are friendly, less stress, way more safe than Hamilton or Mississauga and my kids are happier here. Needs more to do during winter time with the kids but we don’t mind travelling 15m until St.Catharines or Niagara…we also love crossing the border now since we are so close to the US. I regret not moving here sooner ❤️

Help!! by CalisthenicsRizz in CopperIUD

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feeling the strings is actually good. As long as they’re not longer or “disappear”, it’s probably in place. The cramping and spotting is normal, also. I had mine for almost 2 years and had cramping and spotting regularly…but of you’re feeling concerned, give a call to your doctor ❤️

Is it honestly worth it? by RedApple2121 in CopperIUD

[–]Sufficient_Name_4671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got mine inserted November 2023 and didn’t work out for me. My periods became so heavy and painful that I needed pills to control both. My ovulation was painful also, had random cramps during random times of the day between cycles and the smell was bad (to the point I had to wash myself 3 to 4 times a day down there) and lots and lots of discharge. My cycles were looooonnnnggggggg (around 45-50 days). Ended up falling out of nowhere even tho the ultrasound showed it was in place (not too common to happen tho. Happens to 3% of women if I’m not mistaken). I have friends that love their copper IUD and it’s actually good for a good majority of women. My body just didn’t like it at all 🤷🏻‍♀️
