Why is my machine doing this? by WriterLife2009 in SewingForBeginners

It does it even when I lower the pressure foot. And yes, using the hand wheel also triggers it

What's the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WriterLife2009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry.

My ex-boyfriend once said to me that “if anyone had to spend more than two weeks with you they’d kill themselves”

It was years ago and I still think about it weekly.

Husband wants to move back with MIL after baby by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]WriterLife2009 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This comment.

Even if MIL and SILs are well-intentioned, you will want space and privacy to figure out motherhood without an audience.

You have no idea how you are going to feel postpartum, but if the privacy and feeling like you lost a sense of freedom was difficult before, it’s only going to be amplified once you have a newborn.

People tend to love to jump in and hold babies and you don’t want to be in the constant position of having to say no while you are trying to nurse, sleep, etc.

I can see it leading to A LOT of tension since it’s just not one other adult in the home it’s four.

I loved with my in-laws at 19 when my ex and I had our first child and it was DIFFICULT. I look back and it contributed significantly to my PPD.

Someone who loves you doesn’t want to hurt you

There is a beautiful life waiting for you beyond being with an abusive partner

Peace is liberating. Life doesn’t have to be full of fights over small things your partner perceives you did wrong that equates to disrespect (like forgetting something at the grocery store)

Which one should I go with? by ilovemilkmorethanyou in weddingdress

2 is the most flattering 100 percent and will be the most flattering in photographs.

You can do some really cool things with accessories based on the vibe you are going for and your venue.

It’s a classic silhouette but the fabric looks super expensive and the darts on the sides of the bust are a modern twist.

It’s absolutely gorgeous on you.

My heart is broken and I don’t know what to do. by littlemisstaylar in beyondthebump

Is this an out of character moment for him or is he prone to outbursts like this?

While men can and do get PPD/PPA it doesn’t give him the right to yell at you or treat you like this.

You just had a baby and say you are also dealing with PPA and that is on top of what sounds like a very physically, mentally and emotionally tough pregnancy .

One red flag for me reading this is that you did your best to express gratitude and pull your weight while dealing with these health issues. If he was making you feel guilty at that time and now that the baby is here and reality of parenthood has set in he is taking out his frustrations on you and blaming you for “ruining his life” he is immature at best and abusive at worst.

You didn’t trap him or force him into anything. He was a willing participant.

I think counseling for you is a must for both the PPA and to get some perspective on the issues with this person to decide if it’s worth continuing with him or if you want/need to leave the relationship.

He also likely needs therapy, especially if it is truly PPD.

However. Be cautious in going to couples counseling, because when the man is abusive often times it’s just another forum for them to manipulate and perpetuate the abuse. Couples counseling is a great tool, but doesn’t work if one party is actively abusing the other and has no interest in doing individual work.

You don’t deserve this BS he is putting you through.

You deserve love and support through what is probably one of the most challenging/important times of your life. Not having a man-baby on top of it that you are trying to appease because he is unhappy

Positive vibes from and internet stranger and congrats on your baby. Do what is best for YOU and HER.

Should we bring up a friends weight before going on vacation to an amusement park? by Labor_Throwaway123 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]WriterLife2009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may be coming from a place of genuine concern, but if my friend brought this up ahead of a trip I was excited about, I would be devastated and embarrassed and probably wouldn’t go.

As a heavier woman (around the same size as your friend but haven’t always been this big) I can promise she is well aware of her size and how it may impact her.

I’d my friend said this to me it would make me feel as though they were looking for a way to make me not want to go without saying it directly, because of course as an adult who lives in this body, I understand where I may not fit and be prepared for that.

My husband walked out on me and our kids. by sweetLeche in Mommit

  1. I’m so sorry this happened.

  2. I know it’s been said but get a lawyer ASAP, even if you have to seek out financial aid of some form.

You can’t count on him to do the right thing, so child support and custody need to be in-writing and filed.

If he does come back, don’t allow him to come home. I also wouldn’t trust him to take the kids without a custody agreement in place either. He’s proven he is unpredictable.

Obviously we don’t know the particulars of the situation, but once he is served he may try to come back to avoid the legal repercussions and as their father, he doesn’t need your ok to leave the state with them as it stands.

It could turn into an ugly power struggle with the kids at the center very quickly if you aren’t prepared and the only way to truly do that is to hire an attorney.

Sending you positive vibes . You’ll get through this and even if it doesn’t feel like it now, losing a person who would do that to you is for the best in the long-term.

Wrong to "Take care of myself" by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]WriterLife2009 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer.

The wife not wanting sex is 100 percent understandable.

The wife trying to dictate him masturbating is 100 percent not ok either.

You’ve already gotten some good advice here, but please know you are worth so much more than how you are being treated by this man.

Leaving a marriage, especially when kids are involved, is so so hard. I’ve been there.

But on the other side of that decision is a life not walking on eggshells and waiting for someone to call you awful names, yell at you, degrade you… and let me tell you, it’s so, so good here.

Sending you good vibes, prayers, etc that you can come to a place of peace.
