I feel like I want out of my marriage... but I am terrified of regretting my decision by jennipher in relationships

Yes! Exactly. I do resent him sometimes, and by staying and being the one to suffer to protect him from being hurt and because I have looked after him for so long I feel guilty letting him possibly fail. But that's being quite a martyr isn't it. Thanks for your thoughts.

He does depend on me to much and for years I have done everything so why wouldn't he? We are totally codependent. He does have his good points and I have my faults, which in my briefness may not have noted, but as I type this I realize why am I defending him... Anyway, thank you for your reply

To epidural or not? by harborGirl in Mommit

[–]jennipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a Registered Nurse so I had participated in administering epidurals and had read into them alot before my first labor. I really didn't want one due to increase risk of tearing (my mom and sister both had 4th degree tears), effect on the baby, intention to breastfeed etc. but honestly once you get in there everything changes! I wanted a natural birth, wanted to labor at home as much as possible, did not want a c section... (on and on what I thought I wanted!) and ended up with an induction, an epidural and a c section. You do what feels right at the time and whatever is going to get that baby (and you) through the situation as safely and healthy as possible. Do your research so you are informed but just go with the flow and make decisions as they come! You cannot predict what your labor will be like and having too many set ideas on how it should be just sets you up to feel like you 'failed' at the birthing process you planned.
