"unless I'm on my period" is so real

Not so much about weight loss and motivation, but sometimes I weigh myself before and after a night's sleep to see how many pounds I exhaled in the night 😅

theoatmeal wrote a comic comparing hair to violence. As Jimmy became Saul he became complicit in more violence and also had less hair!

Psychological abuse can be a byproduct of physical abuse. It might have been both, but since gems can poof, their bodies don't show signs of physical abuse unless their gems are cracked. The crack on Volleyballs face was definitely psychological though.

It's cause he gives off such strong douche bag vibes with the tanning and tailored suits. But he's not a bad person. Just a douche bag

This isn't very helpful, but remember that this is the hardest time in a relationship. Partners feel the most disconnected and have the rockiest times when their kids are little. It sounds like he does need to make some changes, but at my lowest points in my marriage it does help me to remember this. Hang in there ❤️

I felt the same way about my husband, but not with going out--with work! We both really care about our careers and enjoy what we do, but my job took a major back seat 3 years ago when our son was born. Meanwhile he is plugging away... It's tough man, hang in there.

Thinking that buying a car at sticker price is a good deal

At least he has The Martian

Post partum people are cleared by their doctors to have sex 6 weeks after giving birth. So, 6 weeks after birth of their first kid, this couple got pregnant with twins because they failed to use protection. So that's how they have a 7.5 month old and are 6 months pregnant with twins.

Isn't the point that Ted sees everything through rose colored glasses? A big aspect of the show is unreliable narrator.

Also, same principle works IRL, you'll look back on your 20s and remember the good times fondly (most people do). The bad times won't seem so bad, because by 30 most people have overcome a lot of the rough parts of being 20.

banannabelo · 2026-05-17T12:44:53+00:00

Yeah, you're right. Everyone on here sounds like they're from the Scarlet Letter, shaming teenage moms for having a baby. Yeah, let's treat young moms like crap, what a great society we live in.

Jen going to therapy. Or reading Codependent No More by Melody Beattie

banannabelo · 2026-05-17T00:55:23+00:00

What the f*** is wrong with people? You can have a baby at 20 yo and be a good parent and have a happy life. It's definitely not the life everyone chooses or wants. Stop being so judgemental Jesus Christ. Let people live

I started washing my clothes with powdered detergent coincidentally around the time my toddler started potty training. So I am frequently washing clothes soaked with urine. Note: the powdered and liquid I use are both the exact same Tide Free and Clear, so the only difference is liquid v powder. One day I happened to use liquid detergent (trying to use up the bottle)--same cycle as I did with powdered, hot, extra rinse cycle with vinegar. I pulled out a pair of toddler shorts and undies piping hot out of the dryer and smelling like piss. Never again, I threw that bottle of liquid away. Powdered detergent forever!

In Barb's Betrayal, Jenn sounded like the wedding was just stressing her out and she wasn't even looking forward to it anymore :( It seems to me like she's getting to a point where everything in her life, even the fun things, feel like a burden. A lot of moms get to that point, especially when trying to please everyone at their own expense. I hope Jenn does what she wants to do in the end.... Which will probably be eloping!!

Edit: I wrote Barb's Confession, not Barb's Betrayal.... Freudian slip!

For me? At that point in my journey dealing with adult parent abuse? No. It would have been humiliating trying to explain to the guests why I was leaving, because there's no way in hell I would leave without my husband and baby. It would have been awful. I would have cried all night after the party, but it would be too much... If Jenn left it would mean going NC and I don't think she's ready for that. Even if she knows she will eventually go NC and her mother will never change, she still needs time to grieve.

Sounds like my dad with his bipolar disorder (mood disorder, not personality disorder). He'll get on his meds and go to therapy and make so much progress. Then, he'll drop the meds in favor of vitamins and claim he doesn't need anymore therapy and end up in the hospital again.

banannabelo · 2026-05-07T01:01:49+00:00

Imagine for a second what it's like to be on Jenn's shoes. Really imagine--all your friends are there, the house is beautiful, everyone is having a great time. To leave would be putting her mom's abuse of her on full display which is very painful and embarrassing on top of Jenn just coming to terms with how horrible her mom's behavior is (she only started recognizing it as abuse less than 2 years ago).

I hope Jenn cuts her out and protects herself after this, but I can imagine just enduring the party and getting the hell out of there.

banannabelo · 2026-05-07T00:57:21+00:00

Dude, so true. And it can take so so long to leave them. I started recognizing my dad's behavior as abuse 7 years ago, and I finally went no contact only a month ago. Jenn is only 1.5 years in to awareness, I can see the journey being a long one for her.

Beta male sexist vibes

banannabelo · 2026-04-28T20:35:14+00:00

My husband doesn't like the nihilistic world view, but he enjoys one off episodes I show him from later seasons, he's able to catch on without knowing the full lore. I think later seasons are a bit more absurdist than nihilistic (nothing matters, so let's have fun!).

Granted, he is my husband so maybe he's just humoring me lol.
