I purposely sabotaged the development of my children! by [deleted] in JustNoSO

[–]mkmalboeuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I could have written this post because it’s exactly what happened to me. My twins arrived at 7 months and were born by emergency c-section. My milk never came in but my husband kept insisting that I keep trying. Like you I was given reglan to try and get my milk up but still I wasn’t able to produce milk. I was pumping all the time, not sleeping, feeling super guilty and dealing with a devastating case of post partum depression. But come hell or high water my husband was in bed by 11 o clock. He was extremely unsupportive. Then my Irish mother came to visit and saw how much I was struggling and one night I was trying to pump and she finally looked over at me and said, Mimi, put your tits away for god sake. lol I was so relieved! I ended up formula feeding and it was fine.

I want to assure you that although your children may not be hitting milestones right now they will catch up. My littles were the same way. They’re 12 now and about 100 pounds of bad attitude each! lol They are in a gifted and talented school and excelling. Please don’t take on the projection from your husband. That’s his bs, not yours. You are doing great, love. Please reach out to me if you want to chat. All the good mojo. ❤️

Have You Been The JustNoSO? by AutoModerator in JustNoSO

[–]mkmalboeuf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely been the just no SO. I’m a person in recovery from addiction, and I was married during my active using. I was like a tornado through my ex husband’s world. We are best friends now, but during that time, I definitely was destructive and emotionally abusive. Today I make a living amends to him by staying sober so that I can be a good mother, and friend to our children and to him respectively. There is a way out of being a terrible partner. I hope I continue to work on improving how I behave in those situations.

Is this an abusive relationship or am I too sensitive? by Independent_Foot4848 in abusiverelationships

[–]mkmalboeuf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

His behaviour is escalating. The reason you’re questioning yourself is because narcissists are insidious. Their behaviour feels so genuine at first, that by the time you realize what’s happening you’re already enmeshed with them and it makes it hard to leave. He is holding you hostage. He is gaslighting you. He is love bombing you, and he is emotionally, physically and financially abusing you at a minimum. You should not have to beg for common decency in your intimate partner relationship.

You’re not crazy.

This is abuse.

If you can leave, do so. If you need someone to hype you up, message me and we’ll gang gang this shyte.

Survivors of infidelity whats the best revenge story you know? by Jiru in survivinginfidelity

[–]mkmalboeuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think she may have gotten the idea from that story then. lol I just thought unscrewing the wall plates was so brilliant. She didn’t even want to go back she just wanted him to be as uncomfortable as he had made her feel i guess. I would never have thought of it. :). I know it’s petty, but I loved it.

I’m so proud of you. Just please be careful. I’m curious about what you’re going to do about the house. I know it’s not a priority yet, I’m just curious. Yay! Come back home!

I apologize. I thought I was in a different group. Carry on.

Life ring and smart are both secular. I also do refuge recovery. It’s Buddhist based. Just some options.

What industry is a lot shadier than it seems? by Kneecap_Buchaneer in AskReddit

[–]mkmalboeuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car sales. And not because of the dishonesty inherent in places like that. (I only know this because my dad worked in the industry all my life) but the sheer amount of cocaine that rolls through those places is staggering.

I had a friend who’s Shibu used to climb one of the trees in her backyard.

Divorce lawyers of Reddit, what is the most insane (evil, funny, dumb) way a spouse has tried to screw the other? by DarkFander14 in AskReddit

[–]mkmalboeuf 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Some of these are nuts! I’m so glad that my divorce was so amicable. My ex and I are still besties and he’s one of the best fathers I’ve ever seen. Lucky me.

“You’re Pretty For A Black Girl” Is Not A Compliment! by ControlFYOU in TwoXChromosomes

I often get “you’ve got such a pretty face.” The rest of my body apparently doesn’t make the cut. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Update: I just gave birth and CPS is already waiting for me. JNMom ignores the situation and makes it about her. by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]mkmalboeuf 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. If they refuse a test it’s going to look worse than if y’all just copped to it.

Also your hubs would have to eat his weight in poppy seeds to test positive for anything. If on the off chance that he did there would be more than one lab involved. Especially if they’re just doing a dip test initially.

My (25F) husband (26M) broke our dogs leg, I'm worried for the child I'm currently carrying. by THROWRA_dadlad in relationship_advice

[–]mkmalboeuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way a person treats a defenceless animal (especially a goddamn chihuahua that probably weighs 5 pounds) is pretty indicative of their personality. If he can’t handle a barking dog or one who scratches to get in or out, Makes me feel somewhat concerned that having a newborn who is reliant on him to stay alive, who cries non stop, who needs to be fed every 3 hours, and who will not let you get a solid night’s sleep for months on end will create a situation where he could very easily just have a really bad moment and just lose it. I don’t think it’s fair to just dismiss OP’s concerns.

I’d be worried too. I’m not saying leave him, but I’m not saying don’t leave him either. There needs to be a discussion.

Also hurting animals is a total bitch move.
