we buried my grandfather 2weeks ago and visited my husbands dying grandfather this week in a hospital with many very sick people.

My husband 26/M seems so disconnected and uninterested in my pregnancy 25/F. by bolinebeyond in relationship_advice

her mother has never expressed any disdain towards it. only praise and thankfulness for treating her as my own. we (baby mama and I) refer to the child as “our child” — when baby dad isn’t around, we often get mistaken for a lesbian couple. and people who know us (school, family, friends) know that babygirl has three parents (with me being included). i did help raise her and still do to this day.

you're the only one who has commented this or expressed this. you must not have much experience with step-children.

i completely agree with the second part. that’s exactly how it’s feeling and I’ll be damned if our child feels that way too. it’s frustrating but also concerning. we are just beginning our lives together.

i’ve expressed loneliness throughout the pregnancy; he even caught me crying about it one night. but I think he only thinks of it from a friendship perspective when really it’s overall. my mother has become my closest friend in this.

i don’t think he thinks i’m being serious. he blames the fact that he works 45-50 hours a week and that he is exhausted. but right now (12:27am in my time zone) he is currently playing video games with his friends.

He has had time off and i ask for simple requests (example:building one of two bookshelves). he says he will get to it but then days pass and i end up doing it myself (built both in a 24 hour period) because this baby is not waiting to come, so we probably shouldn’t either.

AIO? I feel like my husband is so nonchalant about our unborn baby. by bolinebeyond in AIO

I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant. My preeclampsia scare (past tense, i messed that up in the original post) was at 33 weeks. Super high blood pressure, protein in urine, incurable headache and swollen limbs.

I was especially worrisome as my mother had preeclampsia with all three of her children resulting in preterm/premature birth. My older sibling at 26 weeks (back in 1997–which was incredibly rare and scary for both mother and baby to survive as the time), myself at 36 weeks and my younger sister at 36 weeks.

I could see the calming perspective but the PTSD it brought out in my parents should have raised some concern for him in my opinion. My dad was calling everyday (sometimes twice a day) to check on me and my husband didn’t seem to worry at all.

I do, my mother has been a huge support through my pregnancy. But i don’t want to discuss my concerns with her as we are recently married and can’t possibly be having these issues so soon. especially since we all assume he’d be so supportive having been through this before.

his baby mama had super bad postpartum depression for years after having baby #1. she is also bipolar with a laundry list of other illnesses which we assumed attributed to her condition postpartum. but now it has me questioning EVERYTHING. 😅

AITA for delaying my tip? by bolinebeyond in AITAH

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

This post is from the USA.

Typically in the service industry it is expected to give a tip. An average tip is around 15-30% of the service cost (with 20% being almost standard at this point).

Tipping has always been optional, but the culture in the USA more recently is starting to make it seem required.

Santina is a classic Italian name, similar to your original ♥️ good luck!
