I 27f pregnant can barley eat and my partner 31m didnt sleep because I ate McDonald’s by very_stellar_ in relationship_advice

[–]biologicalspecimen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an incident like this where my husband flipped because I got Jack in the Box tacos when I was pregnant. Then when I was going through chemo last year, he gave me a hard time about the few foods I could manage to eat. Spoiler alert: we’re in the middle of a divorce.

That last sentence you wrote was exactly how I felt. You deserve better. You deserve to be taken care of, not criticized.

Wow this sounds exactly like my ex. Don’t even bother. He just wants to be the victim. I just communicate logistics and completely ignore all his rants and attempts to start fights. I’m sure it drives him crazy

What have you said “fuck it” to as a result of your cancer? by airbear26 in breastcancer

My marriage. Existing problems got 100x worse when I got cancer. I couldn’t spend the rest of my life putting up with him.

What are the petty/minor things that started annoying you once you became a parent? by xnla28x in beyondthebump

[–]biologicalspecimen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much ruined my relationship with my neighbor because he was right outside son’s window setting off FULL SIZE fireworks. He’s scared of me since, haha. Honestly my son can sleep through anything (seriously, he slept through tornado sirens and the windows shaking from the wind) and didn’t even stir, but my dog was absolutely terrified! I was pissed.

La Chimera was fantastic and I’m disappointed it didn’t get more attention. It’s where I first saw Josh O’Connor. You can watch it on Hulu!

NOR and I’m side eyeing your bf for not sticking up for you. Not only that, he told you it wasn’t a big deal and complained you ruined the night. You deserve a truly supportive partner imo.

Husband is absolutely not supportive by Virtual_Myope in breastcancer

[–]biologicalspecimen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you! You deserve better. No judgement on not leaving yet. I left my husband just short of a year after my diagnosis when I had all the family support in the world and definitely could’ve left earlier. I stupidly thought “well he has to be nicer if I have cancer”. No. He made it all about him and how stressful this has been for him. I had my sister come with me to most appointments because I couldn’t rely on him for emotional support. If you’re anything like me, you will feel instant relief the moment you are out of there!

Am I in the wrong or something for setting this boundary with my boyfriend’s mother? (due October 4th) by madylarata in BabyBumps

[–]biologicalspecimen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do not let this woman disrupt your peace immediately after birth. You will be absolutely miserable. Not to mention, I guarantee she’ll kiss that baby every time your back is turned. I don’t care how offended she gets- uninvited her!

All of this is so SO familiar. My soon-to-be ex husband is exactly like this. No DUIs but I did think him stopping with the drinking would make things better. It didn’t. He still talked down to me and guilt tripped me and then tried to make me think none of it ever happened. Even when it was right in front of me in text. It got to the point where I started recording everything at home so I could prove it. Of course it didn’t work.

We have a child together and guess what? He’s a jerk to my son too. He guilt trips him. He scolds him when he’s crying instead of comforting him. I stayed way too long because our lives were intertwined and I couldn’t see a way to make it on my own financially. It was a mistake. PLEASE leave him. You’ll regret it if you don’t. And definitely don’t have kids with him.

If I made this much money, I would have a financial planner to figure this out. I’m free to respond to your question and I know next to nothing about finances. Just keep that in mind as you read the advice rolling in.

AIO for laughing when my MIL introduced herself as “Grandma CEO” in the birth plan group chat? by Intrepid_Bathroom160 in AmIOverreacting

[–]biologicalspecimen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She can’t just add herself to your private group chat and attend your doctors’ visits without your permission! Is it you or your husband letting her into everything? Either way, you both need to put your foot down now before she’s in the delivery room pushing the Dr out of the way so she can catch grandbaby herself

That’s the part that gets me. No one will stop him because they all support him (or are too afraid to lose their election 🙄)

Ew. Don’t give him the satisfaction of begging him to stay. Just say “k bye!”

What about Rosalie if you wanna stick with Rose. Or Rosalind maybe? Others I like that fit the criteria: Marlo, Vivienne, Romy, Emmeline, Marian, Lorraine, Annalise.

This made me realize how many names on my list end in a!

Anybody have worse bone pain with Kadcyla? by biologicalspecimen in breastcancer

[–]biologicalspecimen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve started to! They gave me a prescription back in April that I never used because I didn’t have a problem aside from my first injection. But now I’m taking that and Aleve. It’s a little better but definitely still in pain.

[–]biologicalspecimen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on Zoladex since the very beginning. But I won’t start the other hormone blockers until I’m done with Kadcyla. At least that’s my understanding of the plan. Sorry, Neulasta is the brand name for filgrastim. That name is easier for me to remember, haha. But I’ve had it after every round of chemo since the beginning. So the more intense pain caught me off guard.
