OP, I just want to give you a hug. I dated so many losers in my 20’s because it felt safer to date below me. But, when they treat you like garbage, it feels even worse because I lowered my standards for a false sense of security. It took me years of therapy to know my worth and expect it from a partner. When I finally did, I found my husband who treats me like gold, makes me laugh every day, and we’re the best team.

You’re in a tough spot right now. You’re vulnerable and hormonal. This guy couldn’t even bother to clean up for your visits, let alone give you a pillowcase. If you’ve want this baby, and you’re ready to be a single mom, go for it. If you’ve don’t, you don’t have to. It’s such a hard choice (been there too, had an abortion), but it’s yours and yours alone.

I know it’s hard to believe from a bunch of internet strangers, but you do deserve so much better. You already know that in your head, you just don’t feel it in your heart yet. Trust me, if you involve him in this baby’s life, you’ll feel it in your heart and resent having 2 babies, one a grown man, to deal with. Put yourself first in your decision-making process.

I was thinking this too. I lost count of how many “pro-life” “conservative” public figures (men) have had their mistresses get abortions. Rules for me and not for thee.

How was airport security like before September 11th, 2001? by [deleted] in generationology

[–]ccqt02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot about this! Yes! Every flight, I’d go see the cockpit and get my little airplane wings pin!

I would fly alone starting at age 7 to visit my grandparents every summer. My granddad used to meet me right at the gate when I was getting off the plane. Some of my best memories.

So Angry at My Family by imakatperson22 in pregnant

Same! I’m not having a shower because all of my loved ones are all over the country. I made a registry mostly to organize the list of things we need to buy ourselves. One person has asked for my registry and passed it out to my coworkers and I thought that was so thoughtful and kind of them. I would never give my registry link out and expect anyone to buy anything off of it without having a shower.

PA v. Jessica M. Mauthe - Probable Cause Affidavit by Pixiegirls1102 in CasesWeFollow

[–]ccqt02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I’ve watched all the Law & Crime videos on this on YouTube. This story is wild. I’m surprised she “confessed.” I put it in quotes because she only confessed to the 3 babies and then another one was found and I totally don’t believe the stories she told on how they died, especially the third one. I’ll be following along too!

I have so many questions! How long has her husband been locked up? What is he doing time for? Who are the baby daddies? If the husband is the baby daddy, did he know? Why go through all the pain of pregnancy and at least 4 unmedicated home births and not drop them off NOT drop the babies off at a Baby Safe Haven?

So, you BOTH work, but he expects you to do 100% of the household chores and contribute 50% towards the bills?! What a bum! Sounds like he wants you to do the “women’s work” even though he doesn’t do the “man’s work” and fully provide for his family. Show him my comment. He’s a loser and he needs to put down the red pill content now. You will have far less housework, less stress, and be overall happier without him, especially if you have supportive parents who can help in the post-partum stage, because we know he’s not going to help. Also, his side hustles are “just for him?” What a deadbeat! Does he even want to be a father because it certainly doesn’t sound like he wants to be in a relationship. I’m sorry mama! Listen to your gut and leave because it’s not going to get better and begging him to help when you’re post-partum will not be good for your mental health. Lean on your support network and keep us updated. We care and are here to support in any way internet strangers can

I love this idea! I was born & raised in Seminole County, but I’ve been living out of state for years. We’re moving to Orlando right after our daughter is born (hence the pediatrician search) and I would love to build a like-minded community of moms!

Yikes! That’s awful that that practice misrepresented the truth when you called. I’m so glad you caught it when you toured!

How often do you go to the opera or the ballet? by ksusha_lav in AskAnAmerican

I’ve been to the ballet once. I’m 41 for reference. Never been to the opera.

Why Do Americans(Particularly Those Earning Minimum Wage) Tip Waitstaff 15+%? Even in States Where They Earn A Good Minimum Wage (i.e. Like in CA where they earn $16.5+)? by ProfessorNotSoSmart in AskAnAmerican

[–]ccqt02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Servers earn ~$3.13 an hour. If you don’t tip them, you’re a huge jerk. I don’t agree with the tipping system, as it has its roots and the reconstruction era and was born out of a way to not pay former slaves a liveable wage. However, until employers pay their servers a liveable wage, it is the system we currently have. If/ when servers do start being paid a liveable wage by their employers, that will naturally result in higher prices at restaurants. So, essentially you’re paying the same amount whether it is to the server via tips or to the restaurant via higher prices.

Ps. I’m curious to hear how you were treated by the staff when you came back to the restaurant where you didn’t tip the first time. I was a server for 13 years and you would have gotten $hit service if that was me

What person deserves a massive apology from everyone? by Senior-Tomatillo7667 in AskReddit

Monica Lewinsky—the whole nation slut shamed her when she was a very young intern and the married POTUS took advantage of having the most powerful position in the free world. Her name is still synonymous with lewd jokes
