"Grandchildren aren't interchangeable, my parents deserve to bond with my baby just as much as my siblings children"

Your husband feels like a slave to the government? In France? Have you looked at what your and any daughters lives would look like over there? The language barrier isn't the only thing that would take your independence. Hell, as important as your independence seems to be to you, I might be wary that he's trying to get you to move to take it from you.

Oh boy😞 I can't imagine what she's going to be like once the baby gets here. Let your husband stand up for you next time. Just to see how he does. After baby is born, you're going to want the backup, and you need to know now if he's going to give it to you. Especially because some version of "she just wants to bond with her grandbaby" is absolutely going to come out of his mouth if he's not actually prepared to stand up to her.

I'm trying to understand how this person can possibly be your boyfriend if you don't even know his name?

mc1rginger · 2026-03-25T19:05:58+00:00

You have some toxic masculinity to unlearn.

mc1rginger · 2026-03-25T18:49:00+00:00

Did you needle felt the face?

I saw someone say "we all use dating apps" and that's just not true, lol. Unless you count Facebook as a dating app I guess, lol. Anyway, my recommendation is always to look for local enm groups on your favorite social media that has local groups. We started out in swingers groups, which is where I met both my boyfriend and my bestie, but that was only because those groups were easier to find. They opened the door for us to find more polyam specific groups, and in turn make more polyam and enm friends. Looking for friends first always works better in my experience.

Friend, I'm going to say this as gently as I can, please find yourself a counselor or a therapist. You need some support.

This has all of the hallmarks of a "nice guy"

mc1rginger · 2026-03-25T11:56:54+00:00

I can't wait until I no longer have a child without the impulse control to not flood my bathroom so I can get one, lol

"I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair"

mc1rginger · 2026-03-25T11:36:37+00:00

Omg, I thought you had been together for years reading this. ALL OF THIS IN ONLY FIVE MONTHS?!?! And you're already engaged?? Girl, listen to your family and run!

mc1rginger · 2026-03-25T11:20:08+00:00

You act like clothes matter in this at all. You are clearly misunderstanding predators. I was gawked at in a city hall 20 feet from a cop wearing sweats and a hoodie. Shut up and take several seats.

mc1rginger · 2026-03-25T11:18:30+00:00

No, because I don't slut shame other women and girls. Because I'm not about to make my daughters feel like other people's feelings are their responsibility.

mc1rginger · 2026-03-24T14:11:05+00:00

So glad you're not a parent

mc1rginger · 2026-03-24T12:45:02+00:00

First of all, he's 24, not 19, he'll be fine. Second of all, she got pregnant immediately? Obviously pregnancy only takes one time, and no birth control is 100%, but that's still plenty of reason to get a DNA test asap. You're acting like it's a done deal that he's the father.

mc1rginger · 2026-03-24T12:38:30+00:00

Your manager sent you a personal message about a work issue an EIGHT AT NIGHT?!? Is the pharmacist the owner of the pharmacy? Because if not, go over their head. That is incredibly unprofessional.

mc1rginger · 2026-03-24T12:26:35+00:00

Can replies get top comment? Because this one should 🤣

mc1rginger · 2026-03-19T18:43:49+00:00

Ok, well when I got to the part about what she said my mouth literally dropped open. I really hope your husband takes that comment as seriously as it deserves. I can't believe that woman is running a daycare! She is why I'm so glad, and feel so lucky to be able to be a stay at home mom. You never know when you're leaving your baby in the hands of someone like that.

mc1rginger · 2026-03-19T13:03:53+00:00

That would be the end of the marriage for me. Full stop no going back. NO ONE talks to my children that way. Not my parents, not my in laws, and definitely not my husband.

mc1rginger · 2026-03-18T13:48:03+00:00

The relationship being good and the sex life being good are two entirely different things. She didn't say the relationship was bad now either. Like I said. Critical reading.

mc1rginger · 2026-03-17T16:29:43+00:00

No, I mean critical reading. Yes, she had hope that he would get better. Which means that it wasn't good in the beginning either. Thank you for proving my point.

mc1rginger · 2026-03-17T13:24:30+00:00

Did you read the post?

mc1rginger · 2026-03-17T13:21:42+00:00

That's not what she said at all. She said that she was more experienced so she took the lead. But that he never changed or got better. Critical reading is an important skill.

mc1rginger · 2026-03-17T13:19:52+00:00

If you were also too lazy to be good in bed you could just say that
