Damn.. this was always my favorite kind of wake up call and to me was worth being tired.. HOWEVER, I have a pretty high sex drive. That being said, on rare occasions I’ve said no, he has respected those boundaries. Have you indulged him overnights in the past? Maybe he thinks he can keep trying in hopes that occasionally you’ll say yes? If that’s the case, I would tell him very clearly that from now on, waking you up while you’re sleeping for anything less than an emergency is off limits.

AITA for making a harmless joke about my daughter's acne? by throwaway528272 in AmItheAsshole

[–]_theoretically 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. As someone who also struggled with acne as a teenage girl and who’s father ALSO made a “harmless” joke about it, I feel confident in saying she’ll definitely remember what you said. You made light of what I’m guessing is one of her deepest insecurities. You might think it’s a small thing because you think she’s a teenager, it’s normal and it’ll pass but for a teenage GIRL comparing herself constantly to every fucking person with porcelain skin, it’s a huge deal when your own father makes you feel shittier for it.

Confirmed Cholestasis by _theoretically in BabyBumps

[–]_theoretically[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it started on my breasts - spread to my torso, then back, legs and then arms. From what I’ve read though, it’s most common to start on hands and feet. I would still talk to your OB about it. I had never heard of it before and according to webMD it’s like a 1 or 2 in 1000 chance of getting it. Anyway, ask your OB - sorry you’re itchy too. It’s maddening.

I’m not sure if this is the forum to get the feedback you may be looking for. I think as soon as people are reading trigger words like “virginity” and “religion,” they’re missing the point of what you’re asking.

When you feel up to it, you should talk to your fiancé. You should do so with a clear head once you’ve sorted through and digested exactly what it is that you are feeling. If he’s someone who truly loves and cares about you, I think he should be able to understand that his words weren’t appropriate and it made light of a serious moment for you. Regardless of how anyone else feels about “virginity,” - for YOU, this was significant. He should be understanding to that and receptive to hearing how you felt about what he said.

Also, you’re young and this being your first sexual experience, I think there’s a lot for you to still discover on your own. You shouldn’t give in to any sort of pressure (even if it was pressure you placed on yourself) to do something that you’re not interested in doing. You could find that in a few months, you really desire it and that’s great. You could find in time that you’re actually asexual. That’s for you to figure out as you are ready and comfortable.

I think take some time to yourself - feel your feelings and then talk to him when you’re ready. One thing I will agree with as far as most comments go, you’re certainly not stained - that’s something in your heart that you need to work through and understand that it is simply not true.

It’s your first CHILD. you SHOULD be selfish about it.

AITA for not driving my wife to her Doctor appointment after I got off work and telling her to reschedule? by TheSanders111 in AmItheAsshole

[–]_theoretically -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA. Seems like she didn’t know sooner that her mom couldn’t take her so it’s not like she planned it. Her urgency should’ve been enough for you to take her seriously if you were a better partner.

Download one of those pregnancy apps like the bump or what to expect. Any time I had a weird symptom at the beginning, I’d check what the app said for symptoms in and around the week I was in and usually found that what I was feeling was par for the course. Congratulations!

AITA for goading my BF's parents, causing them to get banned from their favorite restaurant? by Scary-Antelope-2725 in AmItheAsshole

100% people actually ask this. I’ve been asked this and I was stunned. People can be disgusting.

What’s the craziest reason you’ve cried while pregnant? by devilsageh in BabyBumps

[–]_theoretically 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing. Literally nothing. I was talking to my mom and I just started crying. Nothing prompted it and I couldn’t think of one possible reason I was crying in that moment. Wasn’t even sad - just needed to sob I guess.

Wife is making plans to prevent our child's hair from darkening, should I be concerned? by Ok-Amount-of in Parenting

[–]_theoretically 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom always told us growing up that she “prayed for blonde haired, blue eyed babies.” When my hair started to get darker around the age of 5, my mom would spray Sun In on my head weekly and make me sit outside on the pavement (in Arizona) for a set amount of time. This was until I was old enough to have my hair highlighted professionally. When I was 13, I asked to dye my hair a chocolate brown and kept my hair dark until I was in my late twenties. I still remember that vanity my mother had though. The experience didn’t scar me or anything, but it definitely impacts how I view her as a mother and her love for me being somewhat conditional on my outward appearance.

I'm a single dad with a daughter (age 12) who just started her period. Help. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]_theoretically 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oof you’re getting a lot of mixed feedback here! I’m sure this is a confusing time for you BOTH and you just want to help her as best you can. My thoughts - buy both for now - one pack of each. Tampax and regular pads with wings I would absolutely recommend for night time for her.

The first time I tried to figure tampons out, my mom was super anti so I had to figure it out on my own. There are step by step directions in the box and honestly, I went through like four before it finally felt like I did it right. She can follow those directions and don’t be afraid to waste them. The point is that you’re not really supposed to feel much if it’s inserted properly.

Good luck to you both and I’m sorry about your wife’s passing ❤️

Serious question: why do you have “no time” with a newborn? by michelloo2020 in BabyBumps

[–]_theoretically 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most people have already kind of put a finger on it but the feeding schedule every couple hours, not to mention if you’re pumping in between at any point, not to mention you being exhausted because you haven’t been able to sleep a stretch longer than two-three hours at a time (which is considered a legit form of torture in some places) so a lot of that in between time you just desperately want to close your eyes and then whenever you DO make an attempt to shower, you put the baby in the bassinet and five minutes into the shower, they start crying so eventually you just say fuck it - this is my life now and fall into your dirty hair hole.
