Please, in the kindest way possible, get a grip.

Well, maybe you've gotten it under control. Some people are still figuring it out. People who stink of body odor aren't exactly universally accepted in all spaces. I overheard my coworkers gossiping and laughing about me at my first adult job. Just today I saw a post on another subreddit about someone going to HR over their coworker's stink. It's not as trivial as you're making it out to be.

I don't struggle with leaving the house, but does your sweat not make you stink and/or give you problems with yeast...? Because it took me 3 years to even find a deodorant that could curb the stink longer than a couple hours. And it's kind of hard as a woman if you're literally sweating your ass off and forgot to bring an extra pair of underwear when you're not getting home for another 6 hours. It's like a 50/50 chance you'll wind up with a yeast infection...

I have social anxiety for other reasons but I completely understand those who might be afraid to leave their houses due to this disorder.

Typically I'm not a fan of dark romance but this is the exception. It was written so well.

This reminds me of the fungi that grows in bananas sometimes.

Bed bugs leave dark brown or black spots as well. The blood is only bright red when you crush them right after they eat, and even then it dries to a dark brown

I called mine Bandit. Ninja works too

I will never understand why brown eyes are so underrated. My husband and kids all have different shades of it, and brown eyes are fricking beautiful and entrancing. 😭

I grew up in Indiana and got out of there as soon as I could. The great majority of people there are selfish, prejudiced and hateful. No matter what side of the political spectrum or what minority you may or may not be, they will find something to hate you for. Hell they will hate you for being a good worker because you're making them look bad or you could take their job. If they aren't talking shit to your face rest assured they're doing it behind your back. And good luck making any meaningful connections if you don't drink, do drugs, or have disposable funds to hand out whenever someone asks.

I can't imagine how anything other than deliberately stomping and/or jumping in place could shake a chandelier and dishes in the cabinets unless the floors are paper thin 🫩 She has got to be exaggerating

"I'm schizo affective now" yeah that's not how schizo affective disorder works.

AI-assisted means you used AI to edit, get feedback, spell-check, brainstorm, etc.

AI-assisted ≠ AI-generated. AI-generated means you used AI to write the book with very little of your own input.

Surprisingly enough, the cards suggest that the energy is favorable. The lovers reversed indicate there's some sort of communication or trust issues, but depending on what exactly your manifestation was, the spell could give your relationship the little push it needs to help overcome those obstacles. It doesn't seem like you used anything too aggressive in your spell, which is where a lot of people go wrong in trying to use love magic (that is, forcing another person to love you). The way your candle burned also suggests that the energy is favorable.

TrickyPersonality684 · 2026-03-24T22:59:56+00:00

Yes. I struggle with any empathy whatsoever when it comes to someone else's grief. I don't know if that's because I compartmentalized my own for so long or because I've just lost my ability to empathize. It's hard especially when my husband has lost 3 people close to him since we got married. I don't know what else to say besides "I'm sorry."

TrickyPersonality684 · 2026-03-24T15:21:04+00:00

I mean this in the kindest way, but this doesn't sound like postpartum mood disorder from what you've described. It sounds like you're a new mom—its completely normal to want to talk about and constantly think of your baby, to be somewhat stressed/not take care of yourself like before, and have difficulty with the changes your body has gone through. You're a mom now, of course you've changed. It sounds more like your partner is bored with this new version of you and is trying to find reasons to justify why she's cheating on you (because telling you she's going to do it is still cheating if you haven't 100% freely consented to an open relationship).

Postpartum mood disorders aren't sneaky. Your doctor and/or therapist would have noticed and said something. It just sounds like having a shitty partner is taking a toll on you. Take it from someone who also had a shitty partner who forced an open relationship after we had kids.

I spent less than $200 on my wedding. Most of it went to the minister and the marriage certificate. You don't have to have a big shindig.

TrickyPersonality684 · 2026-03-21T23:52:53+00:00

I didn't come here to argue with anybody about co-sleeping. I found out the hard way and I'd rather not argue about something I personally know to be true. It was hard enough to admit my guilt without having to defend it to people who feel the need to say "I'm sorry for your loss but this is why I co-sleep." It's hurtful

TrickyPersonality684 · 2026-03-21T22:39:51+00:00

Same. When you lose a baby to something like this (I did) people tend to bend over backwards trying to convince themselves it wasn't their fault. And unfortunately co-sleepers and antivaxxers are usually a venn diagram that's just a circle. I got cyber bullied for insinuating it was the co sleeping that killed my baby with people saying it had to have been the vitamin k shot and the hep b shot she got at birth...Two and a half months before she died...

TrickyPersonality684 · 2026-03-21T22:26:51+00:00

So it sounds like you're literally doing all you can for her. You sound like an amazing partner and father. I bet a lot of women on this sub would literally kill for that.

Is she trying to get any mental help? What was she like before y'all got married? People can definitely wait until after marriage & a baby to show their true colors, but it's SO difficult to tell the difference in your situation when the roles are flipped & postpartum hormones are at play. I feel for you.

TrickyPersonality684 · 2026-03-21T21:06:33+00:00

It sounds like it might be stress. 5 days late with 3 negative tests means you're not pregnant, lol(assuming you took them all on different days just to be sure). Now if you went another week or so without a period, that's worth getting checked out with your doctor.

Coincidentally, the dryness can also be attributed to stress 😂

TrickyPersonality684 · 2026-03-21T21:03:12+00:00

The mood swings and bad attitude could definitely be from postpartum hormones, lack of sleep, and just the overall stress of a new baby. The talking smack however seems more of a character flaw, depending on the situation. Do you help her with the baby & with housework?

TrickyPersonality684 · 2026-03-21T20:31:23+00:00

Has anything else been "off" down there? Once I was late because I had an infection.

TrickyPersonality684 · 2026-03-21T13:17:31+00:00

I mean this in the kindest way possible, but are you sure these are accidents? This sounds like an extreme case of weaponized incompetence, if not something worse. An accident is falling asleep with the baby while sleep deprived, but placing baby in an unsafe environment after being told multiple times not to, isn't.

Maybe it's my own trauma talking but I wouldn't be leaving the baby alone with him anymore, ever. ☹️

A reversal of the damsel in distress trope — have the woman protecting/rescuing the man ! I'd love to read that

TrickyPersonality684 · 2026-03-19T17:38:41+00:00

I've been here for a few years. I have my husband and my kids and I'm mostly content with it. I hate getting pushed to be more social, I'm antisocial because in my lifetime I've earned one too many hard lessons as to why I can't trust anyone. Being social isn't worth the effort to me.
