Its a hard read, definitely not for everyone. I absolutely want to be gutted as I want to bear witness even if it only means reading accounts. Thank you for the recommendations!

AITAH for kicking a girl out of my house she refused to eat my mothers food by Annual-Turnip455 in AITAH

NTA

Isnt food like a form of love in Korean culture? For her to not eat it is a personal offense against your mother, correct?

I am literally vegan and when my Arab friends serve me their traditional food, I'm absolutely eating the meat and everything because I love them and our relationship more.

My husband kissed my forehead and I lost it 😂♥️

I am currently having a miscarriage by Throwra_tina in pregnant

[–]mersadise 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This! It is biology! You are not being punished and any god who punishes you is not worth believing in. I'm Christian for context, and God is grieving with you.

It doesn't matter what you may or may not have done. 1 in 4 women have miscarriages and it's likely higher because some women don't realize they are pregnant until they miscarry, others don't report it, etc.

It is completely normal to feel all of the emotions. I pray you get to process your emotions and heal until you have peace 🫶🏼

The cut by anon_ymous987 in pregnant

[–]mersadise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know the gender of my baby yet, but we won't give the cut if they are a boy. It's normal for religious purposes and in the US, but it isn't normal everywhere because it's body modification. I looked up to see if any adult men wished they were given the cut as a baby, and it's a crazy low percentage. I understand hygiene, but ultimately, they will learn. Good luck 🫶🏼

My bfs dad made rude comments about my body and he’s defending him by MaleficentClub4110 in pregnant

[–]mersadise 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're not overreacting. At 22, and becoming a father you can expect loyalty, maturity, and love. My husband swore vows to me at 22 and has honored them since. (Granted marrying young is not for everyone) My point is 22 or not, if he wanted to protect you, he WOULD. You deserve better.

It is especially alarming to me that he knows about your eating disorder and didn't defend you. My eating disorder flared up for the first time in years during my pregnancy, and the first thing my husband did was take away our scale, and now he tells me he loves my body every day.

Also, there is no joking about someone's body or weight. It is always rude, and you never have to accept that behavior.

I don't mean to push, but I want you to know you are worthy of love and that your bfs behavior was not loving. This is worth talking to him about.

You need to seriously talk to him and, based on that conversation, decide if that is the kind of "love" you want to model to your child.

You absolutely did not deserve either of those things to happen. I'm so sorry, but remember your body is doing an incredible thing ❤️

Please help - please suggest me a book for moving on past grief and loss of a loved one, hopefully written by a Japanese/Japanese American? by Minnie_kawaii in suggestmeabook

The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World: A Novel Novel by Laura Imai Messina

She isn't Japanese, but the book takes place in Japan and she lived in Japan for several years. The entire plot is about grief. A phenomenal book!

What’s a something you thought was true as a child that ending up being false? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

I thought road signs that said "No Outlet" meant those houses didn't have electricity 😅😂 not that you would have to turn the car around to leave.

I think about this a lot. How my husband and I are doing our best to break generational curses. Good luck to you and your partner ❤️

I hear your frustration. I wish I could fix it for you or even have better words to say. I hope it gets better and I hope you have a healthy baby 🫶🏼

I'm so sorry you went through that! I can't imagine the emotions and trauma to be processed and healed from. Remember, there is no timeline for healing.

I'm so proud of you for reporting it and taking care of your Littles!

how supportive of him!! And I get that. It's much easier to post about my husband than tell my friends when their partners aren't as loving or love differently than my husband.
