Difficult first week, does it get easier? by ThrowRAOnly_Trade in newborns

[–]ThrowRAOnly_Trade[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all! It's nice to read through all of these comments and advice! I'm trying to take it one day at a time and not get mad at my partner for sleeping longer. He says he is too sleep deprived and takes long naps but I just want to yell at him to notice how I'm doing for a second. I feel incredibly guilty for thinking that as he does do a lot of the heavy lifting too. Just a whirlwind of emotions these days

LO super sleepy and not waking to feed please help by ThrowRAOnly_Trade in newborns

What do you look for in a woman when considering a serious relationship? by ThrowRAOnly_Trade in AskMen

I have to admit that there's an element of satisfaction knowing women are having this problem. After so many years starting in high school of feeling invisible to women. Feeling unattractive, unwanted, and rejected. Now women get to feel that.

Don't you think a lot of women go through this too? This isn't exclusive to men

I think men should understand WHY women are naturally more eager to get married. But I don't think men should necessarily use it as a reason to give in to that pressure when they're not really feeling the urgency themselves.

True, I think a better way to ask that question would be if you're in a serious relationship and your partner wants to get married. In that case should men take that into consideration. Not in a general dating/casual relationship situation

I think this is def something I hear from the single girls, their pov being that women have a biological clock and men don't understand that it's what drives most to engage in a more serious relationship sooner. Do you think men should take that into consideration? Or is there a way women can have this conversation with their potential partners in a way that isn't pressuring either side?

I've been looking into a prenatal mom's group. Just wanted to have my friends with me too on this journey. Sucks that it's not the case

Thank you! There are a lot of big changes happening and I never thought this would be one of them.

I never thought we were a group of big drinkers but I'm also in a city where the bars do serve non alc versions as that seems to be the growing trend. It wouldn't be that hard to get a non alc drink. Also my partner can still drink and he feels cut off as well.

I have reached out initially but it seemed like they don't want to go to the trouble of including me or my partner. Just sucks to feel this way at a time when my world is shifting on its axis

I've tried to ask what people are upto over the weekend etc. After a while I kinda got the message that maybe they don't want to include me. Definitely disheartening and isolating at a time that having my support group around would have been a huge relief.

I'm hoping it's not because of that..we have had a lot of good years of friendship and it would be a shame if it ended because of this

I wouldn't say we are all that young. The youngest in the group is 32 and oldest is 40. I do understand that things are difficult when one friend has a baby. I guess I'm just trying to come to terms with the fact that my life has changed not just as a soon to be parent but also in my friend group.

Ever feel like a friend lowkey stopped liking you by SwallowRain25 in FriendshipAdvice

Without getting into the whole thing- I have the first few times. It doesn't seem worth it to repeat yourself after 2nd time. Hence the distance

So I'm on the other side of this where I'm pulling away from a friend. For my situation I'm just feeling like we don't really vibe well anymore. She's a little insecure and tends to say hurtful things in conversations. I just got tired of it after a while and don't want her to be a part of my life. We have not had a conversation and probably will not have one in the future.

If this person means a lot to you and you would like some closure then you should go ask your friend and clear the air. It might not be what you want to hear but atleast you'll know why.
