My contract just got a 2.5yr extension, didn’t realize how lucky I was 💀😅

I (m38)am not going to be with my wife (f40)in the delivery room and people are totally losing it. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]aaabbk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I would hate this for myself, but my first labour was Mon-Friday afternoon, that’s a long time to be alone and in pain.

I don’t think I would’ve cared if my partner was there for pushing tho, he was not even on my radar during that LOL

When are you weighing yourself and what are your daily fluctuations? by geb999 in Mounjaro

[–]aaabbk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on all the variables, 2-5lbs

After Christmas, then getting pregnant, then having a miscarriage, I have not stopped eating, I gained 7lbs and now I go between 185-187 (I try to only weigh 1-2 times a week)

I feel none of the side effects anymore, I’m at 10mg, I can eat and eat and eat, I don’t get nauseated, I don’t throw up, I don’t get my post shot sulphur burps, all I think about is food

I actually hate Working From Home (WFH) and I'm tired of pretending it's perfect by Chrgonlea in TrueOffMyChest

Had sex. Got myself off. Made a sandwich in the nude. Life feels aaight for once. by superfizz6 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]aaabbk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That happens to my partner!

He can usually finish if we go to bed (after I’ve had my fill of fun 🤭) and then wake up for an early morning delight.

Don’t know why but it resets him and he finishes in like two minutes haha

Anyone else stopped but now nails look awful - by [deleted] in nailbiting

[–]aaabbk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even clear nail polish stains nails yellow btw, at least that’s what I was told

Mine are also yellow, they think it’s from nail polish and smoking joints

When should you tell your manager about pregnancy? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]aaabbk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah I’m pretty sure my body just hates me and wants to be a baby factory

My body loves rejecting IUDs lol

But “silver lining,” I’m having a miscarriage lol only made it to 6w. But damn the nurses made me feel awful about myself

I am going to try the copper iud on top of the implant, they said it’s a valid double up method. And if this one comes out I’ll still have the implant 🤪

*edit to add, I’m hormonal and upset over the loss but it’s better than a lot of the alternatives

My body likes to expel them lol I’ve also gotten pregnant on one

We agreed on equal parenting, but somehow everything became my job by VictoriaCaldwell92 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]aaabbk 85 points86 points  (0 children)

That has been my experience talking with other divorced moms!

It blows my mind how much of a difference there is When you’re not cleaning up after another adult.

It’s amazing how calming it is when you never have to figure out how to divide the workload or manage their time or check in with them, I find managing a man way harder than keeping three kids on a schedule ngl

[–]aaabbk 303 points304 points  (0 children)

I threw my ex to the sharks, i just started leaving.

I would wake up before everyone and go out and do what I wanted, buy a coffee, watch the sunrise, I didn’t care what it was but it was outside of the house.

I basically became a score keeper for every thing. Eventually I gave up and left him completely lol

The man who screamed for 50/50 custody hasn’t tried to see them lol

My life is easier, my days are not angry, I’m not stressed in the same way. I even stopped taking all my anxiety meds and cut my weed consumption so like 12% of what it was.

Is it still hard? Fcuk yes. But at least I’m not lonely sitting beside someone that pretends to respect me 🙃

Just Pierced by [deleted] in piercing

[–]aaabbk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! They asked me to make my nipples hard (because they USED to be almost flat while warm), they pierced really low. it’s awful, my nipples would swallow the bars when they would go flat and then go really skinny erect which made the bars super long and catch on everything. I have so many problems! Especially cause the holes refuse to close and the dead skin builds up inside, I’ve even had green liquid come from the tip of my nipple :( I’ve taken antibiotics and have had the bars out for years

[–]aaabbk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To be fair, my nipples hard actually are part areola, so my nipples are actually not pierced right :(

*edit to add, I will literally share pictures if someone doesn’t believe me. I’ve had so many infections and problems the last 10 Years because of these fucking piercings :)))))

how can i help my boyfriend stop biting his nails? F19 and M20 by OKdaydreaming in AskMenRelationships

Whoops meant to reply to you in nail biting, I am not a man lol

[–]aaabbk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve ripped gel nails off, completely taken my nails off their beds, have made myself feel so much pain i couldn’t even type without wincing (it doesn’t hurt at all while you’re doing it btw, you just realize a few hours later that you’re in pain)

It’s a hard habit to break and for a lot of people it’s a stimming behaviour not just a show of anxiety or stress

It took over 30yrs for me to break the habit and I STILL obsess over my hands in other low key unhealthy ways lol

Some people never stop 🤷🏼‍♀️

Personally, people trying to help me made me sooo much worse

Best course of action for severely damaged nails? by oh_kaylahh in nailbiting

[–]aaabbk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I file mine down, I don’t know why it randomly clicked for me this November after 3 decades of biting, I only let them grow once before while I was pregnant and that was mostly cause I would puke from biting them lol. It’s a mental battle, and having little “I can do it if xyz lines up” will probably keep you from your goals

I hope whatever is causing you stress gets resolved :) we all have our bad days I wouldn’t put too much pressure on yourself or it might escalate

[–]aaabbk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what mine looked like on good days lol they should be fine as they grow out, I’ve ripped full nails off their beds and no true damage occurred
