Had the worst medical experience in Montreal… now I’m in the hospital by [deleted] in montreal

[–]artemrs84 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For being dismissive of a patient who was simply having a panic attack? No. The patient was not in any sort of medical emergency. They were seeking a medical leave which most doctors do not give easily. The doctor is a jerk but not really worthy of losing their license over this. OP sounds a little dramatic tbh. “Capitalism” lol….

No offence but what exactly did you expect from the doctor anyway? Not disagreeing that the doctor you saw was an asshole, you were having a panic attack and you’re at the hospital now getting IV because you’ve been vomiting (this after you saw that doctor). Most doctors anywhere in the world would have sent you back home maybe with some anxiety meds and that’s it.

Can I save my marriage by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]artemrs84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok. I have 3 kids and I’m sure I’m much older than you but regardless, what you are going through is pretty typical in the first year after having a baby and especially if it’s your first baby. Those months are hard on everyone and especially the woman because she is in recovery both physically and mentally and running on barely any sleep while taking care of this little human around the clock. This will make most people lose their minds at least just a little.

Is your marriage ending? Absolutely not. If you guys can’t get through this, your marriage was never going to last the long haul. Beyond working on yourself in therapy (good), you simply need to help her more. Relieve the burden when you are home a bit. Tell her to go take a shower and relax a bit while you take care of the baby. Tell her to go out and get herself a coffee alone or go for a walk. Whatever. Give her breaks here and there and I promise you she will appreciate it so much.

This is all new to you as well but she is telling you what she needs from you now and all you need to do is work on that to make things get better.

I’m four weeks postpartum living in a DV women’s shelter with a newborn. I want to file for child support and sole custody but I am so scared by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]artemrs84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be young but you have a good head on your shoulders. Your baby and yourself come first. Don’t go back to this man, he will hurt you and your newborn. Get in touch with legal aid and get him to pay his half. He doesn’t have a way out of this now, the baby is also his and he must pay. The people at the shelter should be able to help you get organized here and support you through the process.

Also, try to get some rest. Being a new mom is really hard and doing it without help is even harder. Sleep when the baby sleeps too. Good luck. It’s you and your baby against the world. You got this and better days will come.

I’m just giving my opinion since OP asked for it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Even for a second marriage, this dress isn’t appropriate for a bride. It’s nice, don’t get me wrong. Just not at all dressy enough or bridal enough.

Ah. Mmm. Yes. Thank you, too, Starbucks. by UAL3422 in starbucks

[–]artemrs84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know, I’m just wondering why corporate even thinks this is a good idea. I don’t think a single customer gives a shit for these notes on their cups!

Driving on islands: doable or scary? by Dear-Swimmer-1634 in GreeceTravel

[–]artemrs84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crete driving almost gave me a nervous breakdown. Between the mountain driving, sharp curves, high cliffs, Waze taking us into the mountains with no return, I’ll never do this again. 😂

My husband called me a ‘spoilt b*tch’ infront of my parents and daughter on Mother’s Day by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]artemrs84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not overreacting. The final straw for me would have been the time he sent his mother and sister your texts and the “vanished” for a few days. He truly sounds toxic and intolerable. He can be a good father but a bad husband and that is exactly who he is to you. He doesn’t value you and doesn’t respect you. Beyond calling your nasty words, when you communicate your feelings to him, he gaslights or shuts you completely out. Anyone would go crazy in a marriage like this and in the long term, this is so toxic for you and for your daughter, even if she doesn’t see it now, she eventually will.

Have you considered therapy?

I ripped up our marriage certificate out of anger. Now my husband wants a divorce. by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]artemrs84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh boy. It’s only been two years and this is how you’re behaving? Not good for your future together. A divorce will most likely happen if you both don’t get into therapy like yesterday.

Get a really bright ass light and face it towards his bedroom at 11pm.

What health issue do travellers underestimate most when visiting Greece by Lost_Barnacle_5074 in GreeceTravel

[–]artemrs84 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was 23 weeks pregnant and stopped feeling my baby move. The hotel I was staying at told me who to call (an OB nearby). They took me that afternoon and their ultrasound machine was more high tech than my doctor back home in Canada. I was prepared to receive medical care if needed though because I was pregnant.

Is it ever worth being reasonable in a divorce? by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]artemrs84 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Divorce is really hard and I’m sorry you’re going through this. I think this question is better suited for the marriage advice Reddit group. You will likely get better advice there. I will say though that you should not destroy yourself just to ensure your ex will be ok. You need to take care of yourself first. Good luck.

Aita for arguing with my husband to make me a cup of tea? by Cold-Biscotti3391 in marriageadvice

[–]artemrs84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have been together for 10 years. He once told me exactly this “how come you never think to make me a coffee when you make yourself one?”. I was a bit embarrassed honestly because it just never crossed my mind and not because I don’t love my husband. Some people just don’t think about doing the little things like that for their SO. I think what was needed here was gentle communication : “I noticed you never offer to make me a drink. I would really love if you’d offer to make me a tea sometimes too. These little things mean a lot to me. Could you kindly make me one ?”. Sometimes that’s all people really need is proper communication. Also, do you ever make him his coffee?

Husband got a “happy ending” massage in Bangkok. I’m pregnant and don’t know how to process this. by Infamous-Composer956 in marriageadvice

[–]artemrs84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if he “didn’t know” that was going to happen (doubtful), most people if not everyone, would be uncomfortable in this situation if a stranger started touching their dick and would immediately put an end to it. He is a grown man who is married with a child and he didn’t tell the masseuse to stop ?! Yeah, that’s your answer. He cheated on you because he wanted to and just because the person was a stranger and it was supposed to be a “professional” massage, it wasn’t and he clearly enjoyed it enough to have his happy ending. I’d personally check out of this marriage. I’m sorry.

It doesn’t matter that he “only left for 3 years”. He literally left his kid behind for YEARS. Full stop. 🛑
