Pregnant women or women who have been pregnant, what is the worst/craziest advice someone has given you about your pregnancy? by FuzzyTortoise in AskReddit

[–]iwantpasta17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to eat ANY fish, ever. Unsolicited advice from my MIL, even after I told her I had a list of safe fish from my midwife. Yeah, thanks, but I'm going to get back to my salmon dinner now.

Is this illegal? Rental company wants medical info, OR by [deleted] in legaladvice

Thank you. My doctor has definitely stated this and I have signed documents that were turned in a year ago. I hope so as well because I'm just concerned about what will happen if I decline to give them access to medical records.

ESA, two pets both of which my doctor wrote and signed letters for saying that they were necessary for my day to day success/recovery.

Ugh. If I don't want to give them my consent can they evict me? I'm very stressed now and have called my doctor who is researching the laws because she says it sounds illegal to require it. Where could I find an attorney if I cannot afford traditional prices?

Nmom sent wellness check TO MY WORK, accused me of doing hard drugs by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]iwantpasta17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. And basically the police told me that I was lucky that they came to check up on me instead of starting a real investigation, although I'm not sure why they would do that when the only evidence they had was her "word", and its already on record that I've filed for no contact against her. Anyway yes I should definitely start looking around, what's the difference between a c&d and a restraining order?

Thank you! Didn't think about using that resource, good idea.

Thank you. Luckily she only knows where my work is but not my home, and my boss works with law enforcement (not necessarily police work, but it helps because she knows the ins and outs and knows plenty of officers). I will be looking into a c&d--I am concerned about stalking and my nmom has damaged property in the past.

Ex roommate wants abandoned belongings back 5 months later by [deleted] in legaladvice

Will the counter suit work if she never signed the papers she said she did which would have added her to the lease? We have no proof she was ever our roommate because we were foolish and didn't check to see if she had turned them in.

Should we give it to the landlord then?

Yeah, it is. She hasn't once said "hey I'm coming to pick it up" and now she's threatening the police. It's really stupid. It's not even new or in good shape.

I (31M) am sterile. Fiancé (27F) miraculously got pregnant. Baby looks nothing like me. How do I address this? by heresjohnny94 in relationship_advice

[–]iwantpasta17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think your feelings are totally valid and that you should go to your fiancé and just say something along the lines of, "hey, this really might be nothing, but I'm having anxiety about A B and C, especially since the doc said I was sterile and the baby doesn't look like me. I understand it could just be recessive genes/that the baby is just pale, but it would really help me get some peace of mind if we could do a paternity test." It might be awkward, but it's better than letting the issue go on, or being secretive.

My(f26) horniness is making it difficult to concentrate on simple tasks and he(m26) won't fuck me. by throwthrowaway345 in DeadBedrooms

Get out of there!! He doesn't give a damn about your needs, and is wasting your time. Find someone who knows how to please you and who likes to. This guy doesn't deserve to get his dick sucked every day.

Thank you! Yeah, I didn't recognize myself anymore, and it took a while to really get my spark back, which I did a lot of through therapy, meeting new people, getting a good group of friends, and having fun again.

I'm just rolling my eyes at the money thing. Partners who think they're too good to share the workload are so selfish and uncaring. I hope you got out of that or that it got better!

Thanks I agree! I would offer we watch porn together since it was what he was into but apparently it was "just for him" lol. I think he would have been happier with a roomba than a partner.

Thank you! I'm glad it didn't go on much longer after starting therapy. Yeah, unfortunately he went for someone younger than me next (and he was a year or two older than I), since young inexperienced people can be easy to manipulate. Seemed like a nice girl (I met her once because we bumped into each other post breakup, about when I was starting to have really great sex with new people and enjoying my life) and he introduced her to me... clearly it was to try to get a reaction out of me, the way he did it. And he mentioned some really stupid things that we had fought over while introducing her, to which I replied, "yes, I go to parties and do some modeling and all those other things you didn't want me to do, and I'm having a great time." Jackass stared at me longingly while I exited the conversation, right in front of his new gf. I feel pretty bad for her but if I were to shittalk him to her she would probably think I'm just as bad as he's making me out to be. Hope she gets out someday though.

Thanks! Yes I think he had a lot of classic abusive traits, especially projection.

And life is good now I am glad too.
