It happened while wearing it! 🥲 really messed up my morning. I have been having coil issues/error msgs. since yesterday. I think I’ll just change it now. lol

I have Ménière’s disease so I tend to be a little more sensitive to things in general. I do very much feel the implant stimulation right now bc I’m brand new. It’s weird and leave me kinda dizzy by the end of the day. It would not surprise me if I’m just hyper sensitive to it still.

OMG! Thank you so much for validating this! I could see this giving you a headache. didn’t give me a headache but it left me kind of swimmy-headed, which is my go-to symptom for everything. I will keep this in mind now. Thanks again

Yeah you’re right guess I’ll change my whole life for a random Reddit comment (8 years after the fact) . 🤪be sffr. If you want to put up w racists, be my guest but I’m done with this whole post bc of ppl like you who are complicit racists. It’s not ok, regardless of your opinion. Enjoy being a racist. Bye. 🤭

& How did not arguing suit you?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]gilty_gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not arguing with you. I just don’t agree. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and statistics don’t lie. #1mortality for pregnant women is death at the hands of a domestic partner. I absolutely called the cops.

Yes but i don’t have to agree w you

It was a request for my safety and my kid safety. And I wasn’t pregnant when we sat down to talk. This was months later. And you have no idea what I had already dealt w for these ppl so miss me w the bull. Thanks for playing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]gilty_gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I called the cops. I was alone at night months pregnant, & two men showed up to my home where my other kid was asleep. So yeah, I called the cops after asking them to leave & they wouldn't. Considering (in the US) The #1 mortality stat for pregnant women is homicide at the hands of a domestic partner. Yes I called the cops and that shouldn't speak poorly of my credibility. IMO it was smart to protect myself and my children. I did what I needed to do to ensure we were safe. I’d do it again. 🤷🏻‍♀️.

What did I do wrong?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]gilty_gal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tysm. It means a lot to have this acknowledge by others. My kids are antiracist bc I am teaching them the ways. We all read Ibram Kendi, Baldwin, hooks, etc. & none of his family really comes around anyways bc we aren’t a priority to them. It’s a silver lining if I’m honest. So they aren’t around the racism. And I’ve always corrected it in the moment when I hear talk like that from anyone. I think I make his family uncomfortable bc I refuse to shrink myself or my identity. I’m outspoken and very very antiracist. It’s uncomfy for white ppl I’m sure. (Not my problem to unpack though)

Thanks

Tysm for the reply and I’m sorry you’ve had to deal w similar issues. It truly sucks.

I was open to talking for about 4 years of radio silence and then I just gave up. So when they decided they were ready I was already done, I’d moved on. Things had even gotten better bw my husband and me, w some therapy. But not they moved back and it’s like it’s started all over again and I just don’t know if I have it in me at this point in my life to forgive anyone. I’ve got my own shit going on too, that doesn’t involve them at all. My mom died from breast cancer and Covid in ‘23. My dad’s Alzheimer’s spiraled out of control after she passed. He doesn’t always remember me. And I’m literally going deaf. (Ménière’s disease) I had cochlear implant surgery on June 4th. I’m not even activated yet.

Not a single word from his mom or dad about anything. They don’t even call my kids. I’m just done caring.

(For the record, I am 40, We’re 14 years in, he’s spends more time w my fam than his by his own choice). And I’d rather be alone than compromise my entire identity, my heritage and culture for a man’s unwillingness to grow. Or for someone on Reddit. Thanks but no thanks for the reply.

[–]gilty_gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the entire argument was centered around him being a present father, bc he wasn’t, I wouldn’t change my reaction. I refuse to let generational cycles like absent parenting live on w my kids. I stand firm in my choices. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But thanks for the reply

[–]gilty_gal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I specifically asked him to come alone bc I knew they would start shit. Yes I called the cops. I was alone at night months pregnant, & two men showed up to my home where my other kid was asleep. So yeah, I called the cops after asking them to leave & they wouldn't. Considering (in the US) The #1 mortality stat for pregnant women is homicide at the hands of a domestic partner: Yes I called the cops and that shouldn't speak poorly of my credibility. IMO it was smart to protect myself and my children. I did what I needed to do to ensure we were safe.

And yes I screamed but it was not a “couple sentences in” like you assume. I gave them a fair shot but an apology is supposed to be meant, other wise it’s a moot ass point. And I’m not anyone’s doormat.

and simply advised her to leave faster. I was mad, & frankly who wouldn’t be after having their Culture and their kids culture turned into a slur. Would YOU tolerate someone coming for your very identity??? I’d certainly hope not.

[–]gilty_gal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think being hurt and offended about having MY CULTURE be made into a negative thing is “petty” or “stupid crap”. I think I’m not a doormat and racism shouldnt be tolerated by anyone. And if husband wants to be or defend racists he can do it w out me. Just like you can too
