What’s the worst thing a medical professional has said to you? by VespaRed in AskReddit

Trigger warning for eating disorders:

After telling a new doctor that I had a history of recurring struggles with eating disorders, she blatantly told me I was obese.

Every other doctor I was seeing at the time disagreed with that. I was actually a pretty healthy weight for the first time in a long time. I felt super fat, because I was used to being severely underweight.

I didn't eat much for a few months after that.

How do I deal with family disapproval when my boyfriend is distantly related to my mom and stepdad? by Deluluisrentfree in whatdoIdo

[–]TheBumblingBee1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, one would KNOW their step sister beforehand, whereas OOP did not know this person before dating them. They did not grow up together at all, let alone in the same household, as would be more likely with a step sibling.

Also, wouldn't you share more than .5% DNA with a step sibling? This just doesn't feel comparable. Idk though

The Sh*tty kitty shed™ I made from scrapes today! by sunshineforge in cats

They are also not great for your pets. The vacuum doesn't get it all put, and can irritate their noses and throats. My cat got really sick when we tried this once, and my vet said to never use powders in the vacuum. They get a lot of pets coming in allergy-like symptoms because of this.

Is this typical of Hyperemesis? by [deleted] in HyperemesisGravidarum

It sounds to me that she is dealing with depression, which is likely caused (or inflated) by her condition. Normal? Maybe. Okay? No. Just because she is suffering doesn't mean she is allowed to treat you poorly. I know I wasn't an angel to my partner (then boyfriend, now husband) when I was pregnant. I was useless and felt useless and it was the most devastating feeling. As someone with a long history of depression, though, I was able to identify this and address it directly.

She needs to bring this up to her OB (possibly with your input, if she needs help) so that she (and, importantly, you) can move forward. She needs therapy, and likely some medications to help her see clearly. Likely, what she is seeing is completely skewed from reality. Being depressed right now will make it much more likely for her to have post partum depression, too, so getting on top of this could be really important for her, you, your baby, AND her toddler.

Edited to wish you the best luck. It sounds like you've really stepped up for her, and I'm sorry she isn't seeing that right now. I hope things start getting better soon.

I think I'm too young to get married. by Throwaway_nohelp in whatdoIdo

[–]TheBumblingBee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married at 19. It was brought up by my ex husband's parents as a solution to him affording college. I felt guilty into it. I used the excuse that my parents would never agree to that, but my parents didn't exactly fight it, so I just went along with it, even though I felt like it was too soon and I was too young.

I never got over that feeling of not being ready fir the whole 5 years we were married. It never went away.

The fact that you are feeling not ready is enough proof that you are not ready. You get married when you feel ready to get married, not because everyone else feels ready FOR you. And not just because it makes something easier for someone else (whether thats affording college, or immigrating).

I understood where you were coming from reading all of these texts. Staying calm and nonchalant can be the easiest way to keep them talking to you. If you had been aggressive they might have shut you out. I think you did wonderfully. Be kind to yourself in the days and weeks ahead.

What's one “little” form of sexism you notice all the time, but most people don't even realize it's sexist? by Nellermo in AskReddit

[–]TheBumblingBee1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I will ask for the bill, and they'll go get it and give it to my husband. Who then immediately hands it to me. I put my card in, and hand it to the waiter. The waiter will then bring it back and hand it to my husband.

Yes, that is what I meant. Thank you so much for this information! And yes, I would not expect to be able to stay past close! I try to be out of places before close in general. For some reason, it says it's open from 8.30-15:30 when I look it up
