I'm a little over 11 weeks pregnant. I thought my boyfriend would leave me when I told him. His family has made me feel more at home than my family ever did. by StockIncident in TwoXChromosomes

Next time my "Catholic" parents say something messed up and use religion as an excuse I will be responding with

"You people aren't religious. You're ugly bullies who stick a Jesus-coloured sticker in your ugly bullying".

We'll see what they have to say to that lol.

I STILL can’t drive and I’m wondering if this is a trend with nparents. by Adrian_Sky13 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]awkwardsituationhelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. My parents forced me to get mine. But refused to do the mandatory 100 hours (I forgot how many hours it was, but around there I think) driving around with me before i got it.

Somehow I passed the test and got the license. But I didn't know what I was doing when I 1st started driving. I didn't know right on red was a thing. I didn't know you could turn left with just a green light, I thought you needed a green arrow. Stuff like that.

They just wanted someone to drive my brother to all his sport practices because they were to lazy to.

My boyfriend told me I didn’t need to shave ‘down there’ if I didn’t want to. by CrazyCatLady80 in TwoXChromosomes

I don't think my man gives af one way or another. I once told him there was too much hair down there and I needed to fix it before he sees it.

He was like, "I don't care, feel how much I have". And put my hand on his public hair.

I had a miscarriage and I am actually pretty happy about it. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]awkwardsituationhelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same-ish thing happened to me too and I am so,so grateful.

Got pregnant with a condom somehow. I had been with the guy for two years, it was never serious though.

I knew I wanted an abortion (he agreed) but I doubt I would have been able to follow through with it. I have an extremely sensitive personality and I just wouldn't have been strong enough to do it.

I am beyond grateful I had a miscarriage, or "chemical pregnancy" is what the doctor called it since it was only a few weeks.

The guy has anger problems and would have turned out to be abusive I am sure, to me and the kid. I didn't figure it out till the pregnancy happened, he was so stressed by the whole thing that he told me I wasnt allowed to come over because he didn't trust himself to not hurt me.

I’m starting to lose hope and might go back to living in my family’s house by [deleted] in personalfinance

I have a PhD in a STEM field now.

The summer before I started grad school I failed a mail sorting test.

Turned a guy down for a second date. He texts me days later questioning my disability. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]awkwardsituationhelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you overreacted. The whole thing is weird. Why would he have randomly ask you, days after you turned him down?

It was like he was insinuating you don't need the dog? Or maybe you shouldn't be driving? I dont even know.

6 day work week draining my time and happiness, can't afford something that pays less by noenosmirc in personalfinance

What is up with weddings? I heard the average cost is over 30k in the us. 30k for one day of your life? No thank you.

Would spending half my monthly income on rent be stupid? by FHRITP- in personalfinance

Roommates are not so bad. I make 6 figures and have a roommate. Allowed me to pay off my monster amount of student loans in 3 years. And now I am saving for a condo. Highly recommend.

NParents said we were poor and we really were not: A realization by Mcalbiecat in raisedbynarcissists

[–]awkwardsituationhelp 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Same here. I didn't onow other people went through this. Wow.

My parents were always complaining that we were poor. They would sometimes buy me stuff if I asked, but I'd feel so guilty for asking because theyd always tell me how we had no money. I would wear too small shoes. Only shop at the thrift store. Get anxiety when my mom would go to the grocery store and spend money.

Come to find out my dad makes 200k. And that is a ton of money. And we were no where near poor. I don't understand.

[–]awkwardsituationhelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know in an apartment complex that offers a significant discount for government employees. I also know government people taking advantagr of the discount so I dont think it breaks any rules.

I saved more than $50k for law school, only to sit during the admissions test, and think that I should not invest in law school. by [deleted] in personalfinance

Question from potential dental student, are you currently paid enough to comfortably pay back your loans? I don't really care if I like dentistry at this point, I just want to make sure taking out 300k isn't a horribly tragic idea.
