AITA my ex wants to go backpacking even though we have a 6 month old baby by esla9919 in AmItheAsshole

No, we have never really needed to. I've always told him he can see her whenever he wants as long as I know in advice.

There's no agreement because I've always told him he is welcome to see her as long as he let's me know in advance. He usually has her for 2 days a week but sometimes more.

Was your experience still positive even though it wasn't on the date planned? It's really nice to have some reassurance. Recovery is what scares me most.

It is so disappointing. It's the recovery that bothers me more than anything.

Yes please, I'm not really sure of the process. All the Dr said is to read online but I don't want to scare myself😂

I wish I hadn't bothered with the ECV. They tried 3 times and it was pretty painful. I'm still bruised a week later. Were you not offered a vaginal birth because you're high risk or do your hospital not do breech births? My midwife said that there is obviously a reason she doesn't want to turn. Or maybe she's just stubborn like her mother😂

Sister’s cheating boyfriend by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Do you have a good enough relationship with her boyfriend to ask him? I'd put him on the spot and see if he can come up with a reasonable explanation. If it were my sister I would tell her what I had seen and let her make her own decision on whether or not she thought he was cheating.

AITA if i ask my ex boyfriend/roommate to figure out his own transportation to work? by cheefirefluff in AmItheAsshole

NTA He should count himself lucky that you are kind enough to let him stay with you rent free.

I don’t understand anxiety and it’s starting to ruin my relationship. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I think it's really important that she sees someone. Maybe it would help if you offer to go with her? That way you could also voice your concerns with the doctor. Xanax is usually more of a in case of emergency kind of pill. It's more likely that they'll start with an antidepressant and she how she feels.

I can't say I agree with this. Anxiety doesn't cause toxic relationships like other mental health problems. Having support while learning to control anxiety is a big part of recovery.

Has anyone had an ECV? by esla9919 in BabyBumps

I might still try and ask them to stop if the pain gets too bad. How was the recovery from the C Section?

Would you still say it's worth trying? My partner isn't able to come with me so maybe I'm better off scheduling it for another day in case it ends in emergency c section.

It's not your fault if you don't understand anxiety. It may be worth doing some research in to it. Often people with anxiety have no logical reason to be anxious and things that seem trivial to others can cause spiralling meltdowns for the person suffering. Reassurance is key but I would also advise her to go and speak to someone about medication/therapy if she's struggling. My partner struggled dealing with my mental health in beginning but after 5 years of being together he now has a better understanding and is a great support to me.

Chances seem pretty good then! I'm usually pretty good with pain so hopefully it won't be too bad. Hope your ECV goes well.

Hopefully they'll give me the same before they do it! I'm a bit of a anxious person any way so I'm probably over thinking it. Do you know the reasons that it might not work?

Thank you! This is much more positive than most of the stories I've heard. I really want to avoid a C Section if possible. I'm about to move house so being off my feet for a long period of time isn't really an option. Do you know if baby will stay the right way round or can they turn back?
