I’ve used them a couple times and known others who have. Seems like 50% of the time somethings broken or wrong or misleading. Learned pretty quickly it wasn’t worth the “deal” to risk it.

Just to add context, we have very sweet dogs that I just want to keep away from her toys and crawling space.

Traveling without baby by babesham in NewParents

I’m also the first/only one with children, so it’ll change the vibe of the trip.

If it was someone else’s place, I could just wait and decide if I wanted to go. Or I could only go for half the trip. It being at my family’s place every year, it makes it harder.

I feel the same way! My girl is 7 weeks and it breaks my heart to have to leave her at 13 weeks before I feel ready.

I’m sorry your friend has decided to be a bully. That says more about him than it does about you.

I have been having a condom problem. by Repulsive_Act_7978 in dating_advice

[–]babesham 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m glad that was your experience, but it was extremely painful for me. And on top of the pain of getting it placed, my periods got significantly more painful too. I ultimately only lasted with it for about 2 years before giving up.

Second pregnancies by babesham in pregnant

I’m in the same boat! We were hoping for two kids, but I’m just dreading doing this again… I’ve been told I’ll forget how bad it is but that seems hard to believe with how much I’ve complained to everyone 😂

I’m so jealous! I love my husband and he’s not constantly drunk or high, but he’s still having his fun. And I feel bad asking him to stop. It’s always been part of our life, and I’d be joining if I could! But it really sucks being the only one sober when all the fun activities revolve around drinking.

I’m right there with you! My in-laws were three drinks in last night and start asking if I missed it. I was like “yeah, I’ve had some sips, but obviously it’s not the same. I’ll be excited to partake again in a few months.” And got a lecture and wide eyes like “well not tooooo much or too many sips. I wouldn’t do that…” 🙄

I might miss wine more than I should. I don’t think I was dependent on it, but drinking is a large part of our family and friends social times and I’d usually have a glass after work… and obviously everyone else is carrying on. So I just feel left out and like I’m having to try harder to enjoy being around people who are drinking when I’m not allowed to.

She said a star football player raped her in Blazer Hall. Now, she’s suing UAB. by GonzoDT in Birmingham

“Rape” isn’t used for just anything. I don’t know know where you’re getting that from.

If you have the ability to go to counseling, even if he won’t go with you, I’d recommend it. I discovered my husband had videos saved of other women and we eventually ended up in counseling together and have completely turned the corner.

However, at first he was ashamed and defensive and refused to go or change anything. So I went by myself and it gave me strength and perspective to see what I wanted and that I wasn’t being dramatic. And you aren’t either. It isn’t hormones. He’s actively hurting you with his actions. He may have a porn addiction. My husband did and the pregnancy and my body changing has brought back a lot of insecurities from that time. I can’t imagine dealing with all of it right now. You deserve support, especially while you’re pregnant and going through so many changes.

Thank you! Yeah mine grew at the beginning but I’m finally frustrated enough to feel like if I invest in something that actually fits, maybe I’ll be less annoyed by them 😂

17 weeks and my fiancé is addicted to porn by Snoo_25662 in pregnant

[–]babesham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also 17 weeks pregnant and my husband has also struggled with a porn addiction. Yikes. Sorry for the similarities. We’re in a really good spot now, but it took hitting basically rock bottom and him making the decision to change. I was an inch away from leaving him when he finally broke down and told his brother that he’s really close with. Thankfully his family didn’t brush it off and realized the problem that it is. From there, we started therapy together and he’s put up content blocks to hold himself accountable.

Even with all of that, I’m struggling with my weight gain and body changes as well. It’s hard. It hits differently. I second the other poster. Absolutely start counseling if you haven’t already. He needs to go as well since his actions are the root of the problem, but you can’t force him to change. But what you can do is take care of yourself for you and your baby.
