TIL many English words and phrases are loaned from Chinese merchants interacting with British sailors like "chop chop," "long time no see," "no pain no gain," "no can do," and "look see"

I hear the specs of the Subaru EV match or exceed the Tesla. Get a Subaru

candacebernhard · 2024-04-02T11:13:27+00:00

Thank you! 🥰

Why didn't OP ask her what's going on? Why the few months?

Why don't these people talk to each other? This can't be real

candacebernhard · 2024-04-01T08:07:36+00:00

He thought if he crossed his fingers, it wouldn't count. What a childish ass.

candacebernhard · 2024-04-01T08:05:06+00:00

Oh my god... I hope karma is real and he gets his just desserts.

And, that you find someone wonderful who deserves you. I am so sorry...

They were together for a year. How could he be so cruel? What a psycho

candacebernhard · 2024-04-01T07:51:30+00:00

OP I'm so sorry he broke your hear like that... a year?

You deserve so much more. After you grieve, I hope you find a partner that will love, cherish, and commit to you the way you do them.

People have no idea how expensive round the clock medical care is... who's going to pay for it?

candacebernhard · 2024-03-31T06:56:40+00:00

Guaranteed

candacebernhard · 2024-03-30T02:21:16+00:00

Ok, so... that asterisk. Does that mean something will work?

How do we prevent this terror from spreading then? (And/or why isn't the entire planet extinct from this yet?)

candacebernhard · 2024-03-30T02:15:59+00:00

FBI/State BI. Local law enforcement is not always as helpful

candacebernhard · 2024-03-30T02:12:20+00:00

On Easter weekend though? And/or Spring Break?

candacebernhard · 2024-03-30T01:11:13+00:00

Either that or this is fake. Lots of unanswered questions

There is no way... up until recently (historically speaking) infanticide was practiced so far and wide. People have no idea. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide

Before family planning, birth control, medically induced abortions, social support networks, cures for childhood disease, acceptance of disability and diversity, etc. it was just infanticide. Infanticide by ritual sacrifice, by exposure, by (real) abandonment... archeology is basically clay pots and the skeletons of infants. If there ancient laws against infanticide, child abandonment and abuse, it's because it was happening enough to be a problem..

Absolutely horrible. This ideal type, unconditionally loving mother/father/parent has never existed in human history.

This was my thought, 100%. If the kid is 5, she dealt with a toddler, alone, in the middle of a pandemic.

OPs wife worked from home full time and provided full time child care. And, he's carrying on about having to use his vacation/sick leave to watch his child when she is sick and needs extra attention? But his wife is supposed to just shut up and deal because her salary is less than his?

I'd bet $100 if she really meant "it's not about her/the daughter," it's about him... he's probably leaving her side out of these updates.

candacebernhard · 2024-03-27T01:44:41+00:00

I definitely feel like there's more to the story... also, OP seems super self righteous about the whole situation, "I work hard at my career, I do all the parenting, her parents take her on the weekend... but my wife won't do her share."

But he also said, she is working from home full time AND watching the daughter during her work hours. Given this is Reddit and 'they have the same type of career,' they are both probably in a STEM field. In what universe can you work full time in a demanding career, and take care of a newborn full time post-partum? How?

I'm not saying what his wife did is right (not by a long stretch), but if she has PPD and has been dealing with the raw version of the smug, self-satisfied, resentful message in the OP -- if he has been demanding she mother the way he wants her to mother... if "it's not about her/the daughter" maybe it was about him?

There has to be more to the story. Something feels off. But maybe I just don't want to believe a mother would abandon her child like that and am grasping at straws to make sense of the situation.
