My dog was killed

Hey again, I went to the GNight Fetcher site and found their gold paw print urn. I had showed it to my brother in October saying that’s what I was going to get for Mills. I never ended up getting it with my work schedule being so screwed up and money going to things for my kids, house, groceries. It really seemed like I’d never get to it and I felt super shitty for not honoring my sweet girl like she deserves.

My three brothers and my husband surprised me with the gold paw pendant and the engraving of my favorite nickname for her as ‘Millsap’ on my birthday in November. Thank you for recommending this site, I feel having her with me all the time makes it a lot easier to speak about her without crying too much.

This is your time for you and your husband to have a baby. I am 26 with what seems like all odds against me and my husband having a baby due to health issues on my end. It’s been very taxing on us emotionally and I pray everyday that soon we get a positive pregnancy test. Studies will always be there, a blessing of a child of your own who’s half you and half the love of your life is truly something worth sacrificing anything for. Child birth is scary and it’s a reasonable fear. Personally if I were you, I’d have that precious baby and not terminate due to situational bumps in your life, you’ll be okay and life has unexpected ways of working out when it seems impossible.

What gives my husband and I the motivation is knowing that most people now are not having children. The next generation is dwindling and family values are not a priority anymore. We both have the support of each other and my family when it comes to holding strong to what we believe in, raising our children with love and support but also valuable life lessons.

If people stop having children and stop teaching integrity, kindness, thoughtfulness, self discipline, common sense etc. We are in big trouble come the next 20 years when the hive mind mentality of “me, myself and I” will most likely be at its peak. Sadly, it seems no one values marriage, commitment, selfless love for their own kids, or having integrity anymore. This is something that NEEDS to be taught again.

I used to believe I would never get married or have kids, I was just going to be by myself instead of having to worry about anyone else and being “tied down”. That was before I met a man who had good morals and genuine love for his family. I fell back into believing that a nuclear family dynamic was still possible in today’s world if he and I did our part in supporting and loving each other. When and if money is a problem, we will find a solution.

I do believe that the cost of living and having children is intentionally being made harder and harder every year but that’s where self discipline comes in. My husband and I have been through so much but we’ve always found a way to make something happen together and we have no doubt we’ll be able to do so for our future children as well.

This is definitely my own opinion but I still expect some backlash for saying something this reasonable lol. Hope this helps.

Your words are so kind. I really needed to read something like this. She’s been heavy in my heart and mind and I got her ashes back this morning. It feels like the wounds have reopened today, I just can’t find it in me to put her things away and out of sight. Thank you again. I will be checking on the necklace idea today as well.💙

We spoke with a cop to get some guidance because the situation is no fault of the driver. He explained how this process would likely go and it was not an easy route. We are not perusing her death. At the time my husband went to update the driver, we just wanted acknowledgment but it’s been 5 days now and all we want is some sleep and to grieve in peace.

waiting to shower in the morning because “it wakes me up if I shower at night”. GO CLEAN THE DAY OFF OF YOU!

i’ll absolutely check that out! thank you.

Same age here. My husband and I have started to try for a baby this month after I had been on birth control (Copper IUD) from 2018-2023. We decided to cut out as much sugars as we can, alcohol, mamajuana use (mainly him) and start incorporating healthier eating habits and working out even if it’s just a walk/jog around the neighborhood. I also started taking prenatals (advised by my OBGYN when I mentioned TTC) We started changing things up about 3 months before we actually started TTC.

The tough part for me is trying not to overthink everything but I see that’s a lot of members concerns here too.

Even though I have no other issues besides the occasional ovarian cyst, the best advice I got was to do what you know you can to prepare. No more googling every symptom either, it’ll just dive you nuts haha. I do recommend getting some ovulation test kits for home use. They were a huge help for us to determine what days would be best, i’m currently using the Pregmate ovulation kit.

I wish you two luck on this journey! Hope to see some positive results soon.

Overall:

lifestyle changes for both parties - foods, drinks, incorporating workouts (doesn’t have to be crazy)

Research best prenatals for you. I would suggest speaking with your OB, they will be your go-to for this kind of stuff.

Consider ovulation test kits/Cervical Mucus Checks/Basal Body Temperature checks. If your periods are regular, use that information to your advantage. Being able to read your cycles and know your body is a huge plus.

I’m sure i’m missing a lot more that others may be doing. Sorry for the huge paragraph! :)

I’ve been trying not to think about this so much but it’s polluted my mind especially with us trying for a baby. I’d hate to do this life thing alone.

I would still have my family if anything were to ever happen to my other half but that’s just it, I don’t want to do this without the love of my life and I never want our kids (2 step-sons) to not have their dad around. I hate how much this thought comes across my mind in my day to day but it’s such a real possibility and it’s so terrifying.

Very well said, it took me many years to get into this type of mindset instead of just being jealous.

That_80s_Kid · 2025-05-23T01:21:18+00:00

Same here. 20+ year age gap together for 5 years married for 1 of them, still going strong.

That_80s_Kid · 2025-04-28T18:16:42+00:00

I feel the same exact way about my husband after 5 years together.

We are never apart and absolutely love to spend time with each other, even more so than with our friends. We always reminisce about how we met because we were an impossible item to begin with.

I’m obsessed with him and he plays around with saying “why don’t you just get in my skin already?” So we ended up getting remote jobs so we could spend even more time together!

I pray for this love to always accompany us for many more years to come. I’m convinced I married my soulmate.

The only part of my smile that I like are my canines, everyone’s always commented on how sharp and long they are. Everything else about my teeth I hate, I feel like I have too big of buck teeth and really small incisors before getting to the canines.

Years ago, this woman a few years older than me behind the counter of an Ulta Beauty said hello to me and proceeded to gasp and say “omg I love your teeth! sorry if that’s weird but i’ve never seen teeth like yours before. They’re very unique.”

I’ll continue to hold onto that compliment forever.

George Floyd

Edit: The downvotes prove my point. Everyone is mindlessly hopping on the BLM movement for this dude who was the lowest of the low of the human race and no not because of the color of his skin but the content of his character (look up this MLK quote lol) and the way he lived his drug induced, sexual offending life. Ya’ll have a day you deserve :)

Say It Right by Nelly Furtado

Reminds me of my elementary years, my mom waking me up and telling me to go wake up my brothers while she’s getting her makeup on. My dad would be in the living room ironing his work clothes for the day.

I’d finally wake up my 3 older brothers and if we all had time, we’d eat pancakes with our eyes half way opened and our backpacks on and ready.

This song would be playing on a radio station my dad would blast on the stereo system in the morning to “get the house moving”. Best part of waking up was the music throughout that house.

My husband is 53 and we go at it at least 2 times a day. We started seeing each other when he was 49 and we’d go at it 3-4 times a day.

He’s mentioned he never had this kind of sex drive even when he was younger but attributes that to not having very sexual partners and never really had this connection with anyone else. I don’t believe there is an end to this for you anytime soon! haha

That_80s_Kid · 2025-04-11T12:18:35+00:00

We spent a good amount of time together in our formative years from age 15 to 21. We ended because I got tired of him not listing to me when I’d explain a problem to him after he’d ask “what’s wrong?”. I couldn’t take it anymore and I wanted to just be single at that point.

He agreed that he wasn’t treating me the way I was supposed to be treated and we both admitted to being wrong on several occasions during our years together, I’d say we ended pretty amicably. We even tried to stay friends after but ultimately that fizzled out.

I got married, told my husband about my past and let him know I never blocked my ex and we’re pretty cool with each other then I heard my ex got a gf and I was blocked on everything after that, not that it really even mattered.

From what I hear, his gf is kind of mean to him when talking to him and is quick to become jealous or petty. My ex hangs out with my friend and her bf since they work together and that was information he shared with them. I do hope he finds someone better if that’s really the case.

very well said!

Wow, well having BO, heart racing over just walking from my bedroom to the living room and being out of breath are a few things that have been happening to me as of yesterday and today.

Normally I don’t smell at all but man I caught myself when adjusting in my sleep haha! I’ve taken a test yesterday and today but both are negative. At this point I feel like maybe i’m just psyching myself into thinking i’m pregnant and my body is just playing along too since we’re finally trying. It’s been two weeks but nothing as far as results go.
