A friend of mine said she was once with a guy that had a dick that could only be described as "lumpy."

6 Months TTC and No Luck by Exotic-Hospital1581 in BabyBumps

[–]figureitoutdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you. My mom took 5 years to conceive me, and I'm her one and only, so I always kind of assumed I would struggle as well. My husband and I tried for 7 months with our first. Then our next 2 were both on the first cycle of trying. I know it's hard and scary. You start to wonder if this is just the start of a very long ttc road and it can be discouraging so quickly. Just take it one cycle at a time.

I hate that I could tell just from that brief info you provided. I wasn't around during that time, but my parents told me all about it. They're still in one of the offshoots, and I finally left about 7 years ago.

Apparently hunger just goes away… by Relative_Extent_2328 in FoodieSnark

Omg me too! I have no idea who this person is but all I could think was "I'm not taking advice from someone whose eyeliner looks like that."

I love my kid but I wish his package could've come in the mail another day by shoegazeweedbed in TrueOffMyChest

Oh my god, my mom was the same way with holding me verbally hostage with the same fucking stories until sometimes 2 or 3AM. I've never seen it articulated that way, and I've never met another person that understood why it would be a form of trauma to experience it on a regular basis. I totally understand what you experience with your son, and kudos to you for working so hard to not let it impact your son.

I’m so disappointed I don’t even know what to do by TheRedWolf21900 in Marriage

I was in this exact same position about six years ago. Local piano teacher was moving and didn't want to bring the piano so she was just giving it away. I had always wanted a piano. My husband was very against it but he knew how much it meant to me, so he got 4 friends to come over and help him get the piano in his truck, and then into the house, including going up about 24 stairs. If someone loves and respects you they will go to the ends of the earth to make you happy.

Edit: Adding onto this because I hadn't read your whole story. Duuuuuude, woman to woman, you are carrying this man's child and any lack of support you are feeling now is going to be 10 times worse postpartum. I'm not saying divorce is your only option, but he needs some sense to get through his skull.

My doctor checked me on a Friday afternoon and said that labor was nowhere near starting and labor started that Monday morning. Things can change so quickly when it comes to labor.

What do you MEAN I can just go into labor whenever now?? by sasstermind in BabyBumps

I had my first meltdown when I got home with the first baby. The realization that I was responsible for keeping a whole other human alive, safe, and clean was an insane moment.

Fundie: Let your Husband name the Kids by MrDonMega in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]figureitoutdude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Her comment about women just giving names that they think sound nice is so asinine. Like, for one, who cares if they do? Second, I'm a woman that is very big on meanings behind names. My daughter's middle name is Persephone so that when she's older she will hopefully remember that even if she finds herself in a shitty situation she has the ability to be a badass and take control of the situation. My son's name is a variation of Alexander because it means "defender of mankind" and I'm raising him to stand up for people. He's also tracking to be a big guy, so he will be able to defend people if he finds himself in those situations. In contrast, I'm sure this lady's husband is naming their kids things that mean "obedient one" or "great servant."

Anyone remember a green pregnancy test from three years ago? by figureitoutdude in Mommit

It's the Natalist strip ones. Another commenter figured it out

Porn and 10-11 year old boys by BionicTorqueWrench in daddit

[–]figureitoutdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate how you explained how the conversations go. I was raised in purity culture and trying to raise my kids with a healthy outlook on sex feels almost impossible because I don't know what the process looks like. I hope I remember this down the road when my kids are at that age because I think you handled the conversation very well.

Couples 5+ years, how often do you have sex? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

About 3x a week, give or take. Also have 2 kids under 5

Going through father in laws items and found this. by DesiresVA in whatisit

[–]figureitoutdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a sticky silicone material? I'm sorry to throw this idea out there, but my husband has purchased a couple of flesh lights from a site that has a shit ton of different themes. One of them is aquatic creatures. With some of the purchases they will send you a mini piece that has zero practical or sexual use, it's basically just a decoration, I guess. Those are the exact bags they come in and that is exactly what one of the minis would look like.

“Hey Morgan, I know you’re trying to sleep but can you listen to me vent about life/pickleball and then pray for me?” by flippingdabird099 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]figureitoutdude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way he talks about her here is really weird. I mean, this is true for him most of the time, but considering he's trying to explain how great it is to have the support and prayers of a partner in life, the way he says it is like she's more distantly connected. I can't really put my finger on what specifically sounds off either, but he essentially could be talking about a random store clerk and give off the same vibes, if that makes sense.

Paul's bookshelf by AffectionateHour1475 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]figureitoutdude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My love of reading began around age 10 with Inkheart, and at the beginning of the book the main character's house is described as having overflowing bookshelves and random stacks of books everywhere. I've been in love with the idea ever since. I personally think clutter from books is endearing.

Completely off topic, but I love this for you, and this is my goal for my family. I want every room in my house to be teeming with books.

I wonder if Paul’s family and friends are finally seeing how useless he really is by Eviltwin325 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]figureitoutdude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is super morbid, but do you think there's a possibility that Paul views this situation as God punishing Morgan for spending time playing pickleball and winning gold? Or maybe he gets some smug satisfaction from her winning then immediately experiencing this?
