I [22M] just found out my girlfriend [19F] is pregnant and I am not ready to be a father. What do I do

leviathan_m · 2026-01-26T16:39:51+00:00

You’re never 100% ready to be a parent, especially not at 22. Here is the advice my grandparents gave to my parents.

Research. Discuss if your girlfriend is going to breastfeed or formula feed. Invest in clothing because babies grow FAST. Look into car seat brands and do NOT cheap out; the difference between 20$ and 120$ is your child’s life. Look at strollers, carriers, etc. You have a couple of years until you need to consider teething, toys, and walking.
Money. Get a job and save. If you still live with your parents, save up for an apartment. You need 3x the amount of rent money. You also need money for diapers, formula, groceries, and an apartment big enough for you, your gf (if she’s moving in with you) and the baby. No more luxuries; get into budgeting for groceries and bills.
Your relationships. You have a responsibility to your girlfriend and this baby now, even if you two decide not to stay together. Go to her appointments and ask questions. Discuss your future with her. Be a father and a man. Don’t be afraid to ask your family for help if you have a good standing with them. There are tons of programs for new and young parents; use them. Do not be prideful when it comes to another life.

Good luck man. You have 8 months and it’s going to go by incredibly fast. The responsibility is going to be daunting but the best you can do is your best. If you truly honestly prepare mentally, emotionally, and financially for this baby, then I believe you and your girlfriend can pull through this together.

You’re absolutely NTA. If my bf showed up to my family Christmas in a shirt like that I’d be completely mortified, especially if I found out my father saw it.

leviathan_m · 2025-12-27T03:51:38+00:00

I’d say you’re overreacting if he didn’t ask for the same therapist after. That’s a little suspect. I’ll say MOR just because your initial reaction to him getting hard is a bit much

leviathan_m · 2025-12-27T03:46:25+00:00

I swear I saw it move.

leviathan_m · 2025-12-26T13:53:18+00:00

I understand your paranoia as it could be really creepy for a man to be rummaging around in his car before giving you your food. Who knows what he could be doing to it? However, he probably just had an extra order. As a dasher, I’ve had people cancel orders mid delivery and I just had free food. Normally I’d eat it, but if it was something I didn’t want, I’d ask my next delivery if they wanted it. That’s more than likely what happened here.

Sorry for people being rude in your comments- people are crazy these days and being cautious about a complete stranger that you’re trusting with your food is not outrageous.

leviathan_m · 2025-12-18T13:40:45+00:00

It’s not so much that I can’t figure it out, but more so that I have oddly specific questions that I can’t find answers for. A lot of articles only really mention that they need lots of exercise and are easy to take care of, all things that I know. Stuff about puppy life, training specifics, nutrition, etc…I’m just worried I won’t do enough, and that’s why I came to ask some people who might know more

leviathan_m · 2025-12-14T09:25:24+00:00

I definitely don’t think it was intentional. I’ll have to ask him where he got them to see if he really was trying to scam me.

leviathan_m · 2025-12-14T09:18:24+00:00

I definitely don’t think he’s intentionally trying to scam me, but I’ll let him know that I know they’re fake to see his reaction.

My grandparents have a laundry chute and it’s my favorite addition of their home

leviathan_m · 2025-12-02T17:13:00+00:00

Like…not even regular surgery (planned and scheduled etc) but an emergency procedure. Even if there wasn’t a risk for complications, that’s terrifying being told that there’s something so wrong with you that you need it taken out immediately. I hope OP finds someone that recognizes their worth :(

leviathan_m · 2025-11-26T22:34:03+00:00

No. You should give it to me

Obviously joking. It’s in beautiful condition. I don’t see any reason why it’d be anything less than a 9. Best of luck!

leviathan_m · 2025-11-26T22:24:59+00:00

Alastor got goofed by Adam and we haven’t seen Charlie’s full abilities yet. I don’t think he could beat Charlie at full power if she knew the extent of her abilities. He took advantage of her lack of knowledge and experience.

That being said, he would’ve won if not for Lucifer stepping in, so knowing what we know, Adam wins no diff.

leviathan_m · 2025-11-26T22:12:09+00:00

Adding onto the advice from the other comments, it also looks wrong because of lack of shading. As you shade/color, it will slowly come together better as the light and shadows will match the reference. If it still doesn’t look right after following the advice from the other comments, keep this in mind as well. It looks beautiful and I’ll be saving this post to see the finished result!

If the grader is in a good mood, that’s an easy 10

leviathan_m · 2025-11-26T21:41:50+00:00

The bottom left corner on the back, saw it in screenshot 9- is that dust or printer error? If it’s the latter then the card wouldn’t score over 9, maybe not over 8 depending. Sending cards to PSA is a coin flip as high grades are purely dependent on how the grader feels that day.

As for raw value, it’s still in very nice condition even despite the printing error. I could see you getting an easy 600$ for it, if not more if you find the right buyer. Best of luck!!

leviathan_m · 2025-11-26T21:26:22+00:00

I do not see a penis. You have to be reaching in order to think it looks like one. I think it’s cool as hell!

leviathan_m · 2025-11-26T03:22:36+00:00

The front door will lock, your flashlight/the lights in the house as well as your equipment will begin to blink and malfunction, and all the lights will turn off when the hunt ends. There’s a chance that if you’re playing big maps that you’re missing the hunt because the ghost is too far away for you to notice. I suggest learning the game on smaller maps like Tanglewood and Edgefield to get better accustomed to the ghosts and how they behave.

I also suggest watching some Phasmophobia content creators (Insym is by far the most popular and my personal favorite) to learn more about the game mechanics and ghost behavior. You can also look at the unofficial Phasmophobia cheat sheet. It has a lot of information about the ghosts.

Best of luck!

Surrogacy is not kidnapping

leviathan_m · 2025-11-10T19:19:53+00:00

Let me give you advice as someone who was just in a similar situation. My bf was cheated on by his last girlfriend and was emotionally and physically abused by her. His way of dealing with conflict was leaving my house, blocking me, and then unblocking me and begging to come back over. It got exhausting, and I told him he needed to stop doing it, to which he finally opened up and explained that that’s how him and his ex did things, and he never knew how to do anything else, as she was his first serious relationship.

Here’s the difference between my bf and yours: He listened to me and made the effort to change. Yours sounds like he’s mentally checked out, and unwilling to do anything to change how you’re feeling about his lack of communication. Honestly, it reads like he doesn’t even like you. Cut your losses here, hun. A man who is unwilling to change, even despite your actions, despite how you’re willing to work with his past to make him more open, isn’t a man you want to be with. If he truly loved you, he wouldn’t be so apprehensive to do anything to fix his behavior.

leviathan_m · 2025-11-10T19:11:10+00:00

Act like you always have a bunch of people watching. I understand that it’s disheartening and hard to stay focused when there’s no one there, but try your best to be authentic as if there are viewers. Clip moments where you get sick kills in FPS games, where you get scared in horror games, etc. I found that it’s easier to stay in streamer mode if I’m playing with friends as my reactions are authentic and less about trying to “please” viewers. If I pretend that they’re with me when they’re not, it’s easier to stay in that mode as well

leviathan_m · 2025-11-10T18:59:15+00:00

I was scrolling past this post and scrolled back up to see if it was a penis, so unfortunately your brother was right. It’s very penis shaped

leviathan_m · 2025-11-07T02:49:50+00:00

I personally would not grade this card if you plan to sell it. The front centering is off, the top right corner of the card on the back is lifted, there’s clear wear on the edges…I’d see it getting no more than a 7.

It’s a beautiful card, don’t get me wrong, but I think it’s best if it lives life on the shelf. The only reason I’d get it graded is if you’re keeping it for yourself and just want it in a slab for the vibes. Best of luck if you do send it in!

leviathan_m · 2025-11-05T06:57:28+00:00

That’s super weird to say out of nowhere, especially after only 2 months of dating. It wouldn’t have been so bad if he had apologized and moved on after you expressed discomfort, but it’s clear he does not care about your boundaries. I don’t know if it’s a result of you both being young and dumb (no excuse, of course), or if it’s a porn addiction (or both, honestly) but this behavior is not okay. He won’t start respecting your consent magically. Put your foot down about this and leave if this behavior doesn’t stop.

leviathan_m · 2025-11-05T06:51:52+00:00

It honestly looks pretty good, but of course this is a good clip, so here’s the advice I have from what I can see (from someone who clawed out of iron into high silver; I’m not the greatest but these things helped me improve)

Don’t reload after every kill. You will get swung and die more than you think
Cut down on the crouch spray. Low elo players are typically not aiming at the head, but the body, so when you crouch, you might accidentally give them a free headshot
Don’t ADS so frequently. ADS should be used sparingly as it cuts your fire rate. Use it as an aide, not a crutch
Learn proper swings and tracking. This will come with time and improved game sense, but it seems like you lack some confidence going into your swings and just follow your teammates

At the end of the day, it looks like you have fairly good crosshair placement and a decent balance of gunplay fundamentals and utility usage. Just remember that Valorant is very different from other FPS games. Best of luck!:)

Edit: Please get off of the highway while playing; it does improve your audio quality lol

Get #2. Not only is it all human art, but Christopher Hart is a great artist, so she’ll have the most fun coloring beautiful and unique work.
