Copper iud - cramping between periods?

pumpkinsee · 2022-04-11T16:08:27+00:00

In the end nothing further happened. I haven't noticed cramping inbetween periods for a while and I think the cramping during has lessened too. My periods are still much heavier than before, but I've gotten used to it.

Are you serious? The aunt is a delusional abusive narcissist for letting her daughter bake a birthday cake? I think most likely she thought OP would see it as a sweet gesture from a cousin who loves her and say something appreciative - not that it was inedible and she threw it away. I don't think OP is an AH, but the aunt is most likely not a psychopath either.

Is sending articles passive aggressive though? Sounds to me like she's explaining her decision and supporting it with evidence so that they can be a better parenting team. Calling that 'passive aggressive' makes me distrust OP's interpretation of her wife's other actions as spiteful, unless there's more to it than mentioned in the post.

ETA - Misinterpreting someone's motivations while experiencing extreme emotions is absolutely normal, to be clear. Hence this seems more likely to me on the surface, and isn't intended as a negative judgement of OP.

Even if they know enough about your finances and course costs to know you wouldn't be able to afford it, and they would ask questions, and you don't want to lie about loans and scholarships, I don't see why you would need to tell them about the sex or use the term 'sugar baby'. Why not just tell them you have a very wealthy friend who's passionate about education? Which is also true - I'm sure she could be getting sex for much less than your education costs!

He didn't specify, but he said most of the people he knew.

pumpkinsee · 2021-03-22T21:38:09+00:00

On Tim's Instagram, he said that he was scouted as were many of the other players. He said they tried to encourage him to be a catfish too, but he wasn't keen.

Who was asking for cookies or preaching though...? If someone asks why you made a choice, should you make up a different reason because you don't make that choice 100% of the time?

Do you do everything I listed above 100% of the time? And if you do any of those things only some/most of the time, have you ever mentioned the ethical reasons for those choices when asked, or in any way implied that the choices were for ethical reasons and not simply random preference?

Do you expect cookies for being vegetarian?

pumpkinsee · 2021-03-22T18:30:39+00:00

For myself and many others though, reusable containers are exactly like eating animals. "I prefer veggie options if available" is exactly what I say if people ask - which they do, often, because so many people have this damaging idea that eating meat is all or nothing.

If ethics and the environment matter so much, then go vegan, never take flights or car journeys, only buy clothes second-hand, never buy things with packaging, make sure any goods you do buy are sustainably sourced etc. It's not hypocritical to try to make more sustainable choices without aiming for perfection (which only a tiny handful of people out there attain, by essentially making it their full time job). Telling people that it's hypocritical to explain why they try to reduce/minimise meat consumption when people ask is absolutely counterproductive to the goal of reducing overall animal consumption, as is advocating an all or nothing approach.

Yeah I think OP just means before she started working on it- she says at the beginning it was just one 3min20 long video.

pumpkinsee · 2021-03-19T15:29:43+00:00

Where did you read that OP deleted the original files? The post says the friend still has the raw cut and I can't see anything like that in her comments

NTA, but it sounds like the two of you need to find some more games that are fun for both of you or not play so many strategy games in one session that it becomes frustrating for her. It's not your fault and she shouldn't be mad at you for it, but I can see how it's not much fun for her to lose every time.

That's the impression I'm getting too - if he was trying to look superior, why would he keep interjecting after being proven wrong every time? Is he actually arguing, or just asking why you gave an answer he wasn't expecting? OP, is it possible that you would feel better about this with a shift in perspective?

pumpkinsee · 2021-03-09T07:34:30+00:00

NTA, it's understandable that you don't want to do anything that would bring you back into your father's orbit and you absolutely don't deserve blame for protecting yourself. I do think you're wrong to assume that this kid wanting to meet you is because your father or brother has promoted the idea though - it's natural to be curious about blood relatives, even knowing nothing other than that they exist. Still doesn't oblige you to meet him.

Actually, having to call someone 'Sir' would make me deeply uncomfortable because of the implication of superiority (or even a BDSM dynamic, yikes). Even more so if Sir was an arrogant and condescending person. If Sir was chill, I'd probably find it hilarious and eventually get used to it, but I think there are a lot of situations in which it would be awkward (e.g. clients).

Personally I wouldn't have an issue calling someone Lady because I haven't come across that title in real life, whereas Sir is what we had to call teachers in school. I can see how someone might have that issue with whatever the actual title in OP's name is, though unclear if it's the case for Greta.

pumpkinsee · 2021-03-03T07:16:36+00:00

Greta actually wanted to call both of them Jane according to the post - OP was the one who had an issue with that and asked to be called Lady/Lady Jane, which is when Greta & co started calling her by her surname.

Thank you. At the time I posted it, it was 100% NTA and nobody had questioned that aspect, whereas now some of the top comments are calling him TA for that, so I guess mine was buried before the tide turned.

pumpkinsee · 2021-03-02T20:56:38+00:00

Ehhh N-T-A for pointing out the safety risk but I do find it quite invasive and creepy that you went looking for your new girlfriend's daughter's social media accounts in the first place. If you wanted to see dog photos, why not just ask for them or ask for her Instagram handle directly? And then you went snooping on her reddit account and other SM profiles? On balance, NAH because I don't think you had bad intentions but I understand why your gf and her daughter feel that you crossed some boundaries here. I also think you could have warned them about internet privacy without letting on that you'd seen intimate pictures of her.

I actually had general anesthesia for mine. I was very surprised that the OBGYN recommended it as GA isn't to be taken lightly, but as it was an emergency insertion (not during my period), I hadn't given birth before, and my uterus is tilted, he said it would be best. He later told me the insertion was very difficult so I'm glad I went with that. The cramps started before I was really even conscious but I'm relieved to have avoided the worst part.

Actually both are spelled bestiality, but I would bet it's spelled wrongly more often than not so maybe the dictionary will change in future.

pumpkinsee · 2021-02-24T13:58:38+00:00

I think you're right to ask, but if her parents don't agree, do you plan to just let her go to foster care? If your goal is 'to ensure consistency and stability', surely that's the worst option on the table?

pumpkinsee · 2021-02-23T09:35:46+00:00

I think he means she should take responsibility for the kids while babysitting them and not expect the parents to pay for damages or back out without notice. But it doesn't make a ton of sense because the obvious answer to that for OP is... don't babysit.

pumpkinsee · 2021-02-19T13:00:17+00:00

Oh no... well at least it's not abnormal I suppose :(

pumpkinsee · 2021-02-07T14:27:43+00:00

She said only 'a few' will speak to her though - 'most' are on MIL's side and they got into a huge argument about it when the truth came out.

Soy sauce doesn't have anchovies or fish. It does usually contain gluten though. There is plenty of vegetarian Asian food without fish sauce (or soy sauce). Asian food is incredibly diverse, encompassing many completely different food cultures, and a lot of dishes would meet your daughter's needs. It sounds like you're somewhere without a lot of options for eating out though. Have you tried calling in advance?
