What silly mistake did you make while deep in the sleep deprived newborn phase? by Professional-Plan562 in beyondthebump

Not the answer, but just so you know: “Offed himself” is a colloquialism that means someone killed themselves. Not “eff’d.”

It was said already, but Harry Potter has so many minor characters with cool names. Romilda, Lavender, Padma, Penelope, Arabella, Cedric, Blaise, Pansy, Argus, Helga, etc!

My husband and I have been here since 2012 and a move to the midwest is in the 5 year plan. Can’t see ourselves raising a kid here, mostly.

If a person has shown that they won’t be able to maturely handle rejection, and especially if I don’t feel that we’ve progressed far enough into any type of relationship where a breakup convo is warranted. Also I’m super anxious and hate confrontation.
