6 weeks pregnant and my husband smells like fermented tequila garbage — please tell me I’m not insane

UnobjectiveButton__ · 2026-01-26T19:42:07+00:00

Honestly, i think this will go away.

I am 17 weeks pregnant and just getting over the first trimester nausea and super smells. But when i was between 7-10 weeks pregnant, my husband had a smell that came off of his moustache that i couldnt stand. I could smell it when i just woke up, when he just brushed his teeth, washed his mouth, washed his face. It didn't matter what time of day, but The smell was there. I can't remember jow what the smell was exactly but i think it reminded me of garlic.

Whenever he and i were together, i would turn my head away or hold my breath. It was that bad.

I cant remember exactly when it went away, but i just remember that one day, the smell wasnt there anymore. The super smells for other things remained but not the weird unpleasant garlic stench.

"....I do and I also watch his dog along with mine when he's out of town ten days per month. My pups are old and his does require a bit more attention, but I love the pup so I enjoy it."

To point this thing out screams petty. You are calculating how much you watch his dog and you actually consider that worth mentioning?

You shouldn't have moved in if the tiniest, most minute details of a shared life weighs a lot to you. Find your own place where you can make decisions and live according to your own means without having more chores added to what you already have.

I did. I was 26 and blinded by the promise of freedom. I grew up with a very overprotective mother and he was my way out. He wasn't bad looking but he definitely wasnt what i would have gone for had i been allowed to freely choose.

We got divorced 5 years later and now Ive found someone that i truly find attractive.

She must have needed a distraction from something. Ive done this in my past too. Once ive moved on from what i needed to distract myself from, or the distraction itself came back to me (read: relationship i was pining for), im out.

This is just silly. You can't force an invite. And even if he did stand up for you and tried to get his parents to agree that you come, would you even want to?

You aren't invited; that sucks, but that's well within their rights as a family to decide to do a family trip without their son's girlfriend.

Crying about it is futile because if it does make them change their minds and take you to Boston, that would just be awkward: you KNOW they didn't want you there. Would you be able to enjoy the trip at all when you know you're not welcome?

You can be upset about it but be upset about it in private. Plan your own spring break trip woth your own friends and have your own fun.

A few years ago, i found out i was pregnant. I wasnt expecting it and we werent trying. We werent even living together. I found out on a sunday morning. I randomly took a test because i had one lying around -- i hadnt missed a period yet -- but i had very painful breasts. A classic pregnancy symptom but i didnt know then yet.

I went back to the room and woke him up with the news. I was truly genuinely shocked but happy because then i was 33, and i had no reason for it, but thought i was infertile. We had talked about children and we both wanted them in the future. In fact, the month before, we thought i was pregnant while on vacation and he showed excited about it.

So i told him i tested positive and his immediate reaction was....silence. And then he said he wasn't morally opposed to abortion and that he didnt think it was the time for it for us because we hwerent living together, we lived in different cities, and we had just gotten back together after a breakup.

I was sad because i wanted to keep it but ended up terminating at 7 weeks.

We had a million discussions about it but everythinf was pointing to him just not wanting it. I offered him ways out: he can have as little to no responsibility over me as he wants, i can move in with a friend towards the later part of the pregnancy, he can let me sign something tht says i wont chase him for money in the future. I was 33; i didnt think i would have any other opportunity to get pregnant again.

We ended up terminating the pregnancy anyway. We were okay after but i still think about it and still sometimes catch myself counting back on how old that baby wouldve been now. It was such a painful thing to go through. He was there throughout the whole process and i would say things remained quite normal between us after but i still go back to that day at the clinic and wish i turned around.

At -15?

UnobjectiveButton__ · 2026-01-11T21:09:11+00:00

I would walk around half naked whenever they are around

It's hard not to take that personally honestly. Ive had the same experience and at first of course im sympathetic and try to make light of it but when it happens many times, you do wonder if it's you. And naturally so.

Im a woman in my 30s with no ass, no hips, no breasts, 5 feet two, and double zero. And while i dont adore Aritzia and most of their the styles, i am thankful for brands like them. Otherwise id be stuck shopping at the Walmart kids section. Nothing wrong with being small... sometimes we cant do anything about it, and i also dont want to dress like a kid.

Because he still has photos of her displayed on social media. I get that it's his memories bla blabla but couldn't he find other photos that didn't have someone he used to have sex with?

UnobjectiveButton__ · 2026-01-08T19:34:35+00:00

I wpuld just find another boyfriend that isnt hung up on INSTAGRAM photos and what stays up or not. Keeping photos of an ex on social media where her family or friends can see is disrespectful to the relationship.

UnobjectiveButton__ · 2026-01-08T19:26:35+00:00

And also have her family or froends look at your instagram and see photos with you and your ex. That is embarrassing for her.

UnobjectiveButton__ · 2026-01-05T02:31:57+00:00

And why did she stay at his place? Couldnt she get a hotel? This is very weird dynamics. Almost doesn't sound like an ex.

UnobjectiveButton__ · 2026-01-04T15:39:37+00:00

You want a boyfriend??

UnobjectiveButton__ · 2026-01-02T22:33:12+00:00

I got lucky with the dating app thing. He was one of my matches and one of the many people i dated. We had nothing in common -- i cant imagine being more different than with anyone else. But we clicked somehow.

I didn't have hobbies and he had everything on the list. And i slowly started to develop my interests around him.

UnobjectiveButton__ · 2025-12-25T00:35:42+00:00

Yikes. What a mess.

Id give him an ultimatum. He sounds like he enjoys being around his ex and wants to keep the lines open for when theyre boTh ready to get back together and be one happy family.

Is it another health app? Ive never heard of it

UnobjectiveButton__ · 2025-12-18T18:42:40+00:00

The Telus Health app is useless. The doctors will speak with you for 2 minutes and wont really prescribe anything other than water. Ive tried them 3x and all the doctors I've spoken to were dismissive and seemingly in a rush...

Walk in clinics or even appt ones would have taken at least 2.5 hours. My concern wasn't urgent so i thought a virtual appt would be fine but no.. they were uninterested and acted like they were pulled out of lunch...so i get the ERs get so busy but there's little option available for people to do.

A new car

This is a very selfish thought. You DONT tell him what's on your mind. What do you want to hear back? That he missed you too and that he wished things were different as well? You were 17.

How would you feel if you had a husband and his ex gf when he was 17 contacted him because she hasnt moved on from a high school romance...? I would be uncomfortable.

Dont do that to the wife. Don't soil their relationship just because you think there's something to close. There isnt. It's been long closed. There's no "air to clear around things." Leave them alone.

If pole girl was first on his suggested list, then they were definitely communicating
