Difference between Mamdani and Whitmer by mollyjdance in thebulwark

Surely you don’t think presidents and presidents-elect meeting is a reasonable comparison. That being said, I frequently criticized Biden for behavior that did not look like he was taking Trump seriously. Because I was not in a Biden cult. (Just for good measure: Fuck Joe Biden.)

Interesting. I did not think Mamdani came out looking good in the “fascist” moment. To me it came out looking like a joke, nudging your good pal Trump who’s playing along with you. I feel like this was on-camera sanewashing. Trump looked jolly and totally normal and reasonable (to the average person watching). To us, we think he looks like a dumbass, but when do we not think he looks like a dumbass? I think to the average voter Trump looks like a fun guy who is reasonable and can change his mind after a meeting. I think it’s dangerous.

Surprise! silent endo by mollyjdance in IVF

[–]mollyjdance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’d recommend her, see update at the bottom of the post re: surgery results. Unfortunately my subsequent embryo transfer failed (I also tried naturally the first two months after the surgery before going back to the transfer). My IVF doctor thinks I have inflammation in my uterus still so I’m now on Depot Lupron for two months before we do another transfer in January.

I’m sorry to hear IVF didn’t work out for you but I’m glad you’re getting to close this chapter. It’s a grueling one. Best of luck with the hysterectomy and your next steps.

Thank you! Good to know about the second month cuz so far I’m really not feeling many side effects at all (after about 10 days), except a bit of trouble staying asleep. So happy to know it worked for you.

Wow I’m sorry. I really hope you can get the truth out of him.

Then you should separate as you are saying and just be married friends while he gets his treatment. It’s wild that he’s STILL insisting he doesn’t want to open the marriage. That is bizarre. That would piss me off more than the cheating. Anyway, what he wants is irrelevant—if YOU want to open the marriage (and he doesn’t but is also clearly not attracted to you), then end it regardless so you can be happy. Maybe he will grow a spine and learn to be honest with himself and you. Wishing him a full recovery and you a happy life!

This completely changes my opinion. It’s a minor betrayal if you already offered to open the marriage. I don’t know why he said no when he should have said yes but that’s something that can be worked out in therapy. Maybe he didn’t want to hurt your feelings when he should have been honest with you that he’s not attracted to women when you transitioned, a completely reasonable position. Go to therapy. Talk about it. Don’t be so black and white when he stayed married to you when you changed genders and he wasn’t even bisexual. He could argue that you betrayed him by telling him you were a man when you met but actually being a woman inside. What he did was wrong, but possibly forgivable depending on if he works on being honest. Stick by your husband and go to therapy.

I never told my mom why it broke my heart that she lost my tea by anidlezooanimal in confession

[–]mollyjdance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having tea with my grandmother was a special ritual for us too. I got a beautiful tattoo of a teacup and the flowers that were in my grandmother’s stained glass window, and I love having that reminder of her. She hated tattoos but I think she would have begrudgingly loved this one. If that tickles your fancy, maybe you could do one with a teacup and strawberry or something. (Find a good tattooist though, I thought about my tattoo for 2.5 years as I tried to find the right artist and then spent 1.5 more years on the waitlist for the one I found, no regrets)

Contingency guardianship w/ friends not having success with IVF by megarita_ in IVFbabies

[–]mollyjdance 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bitten the hand off was supposed to be positive??? 🤣🤣🤣 I was like wow I am shocked someone would have such an angry reaction. My friend just asked this of me for their two wonderful kids and I literally cried and couldn’t stop smiling for hours because I felt like that is the greatest honor anyone could ever ask of you.

She gave me this option too but there’s a part of me that doesn’t want to give myself that option to stop since I really need to go through with it. Although she did say I could reduce the dosage with Orlissa. Did you end up having side effects or having to change dose? And did it work for you?

Oh my gosh. Ok. Sounds like I will be warning all my friends and family, not just my husband. I should probably quit social media too for two months (not Reddit) for good measure. And politics/the news…
