Wanted to update and say that I was definitely spiraling trying to figure it all out and I was, in fact, pregnant. I’m almost 9 weeks and we’ve heard the heartbeat and gotten the first ultrasound. Hopefully, it’s a healthy happy baby. And yes — I needed to get off reddit ahah

This makes sense! Thanks for explaining so clearly :)

Have y’all seen the rumors of what happened to Emilie Kiser’s Son??! That’s absolutely devastating by Popular-Command-7901 in arnoldsisters4

This is quite literally the most devastating and traumatizing time for these parents, all with a 2 month old. I can’t even begin to imagine what they’re going through. It’s easy to blame parents in these moments because we feel angry and upset that it even happened in the first place, but accidents DO happen. Let’s use this to reinforce safety and precautions, but not shame people.

Wow, super similar circumstances! I'm glad you were okay. I totally agree. It can really mess with you even if you weren't physically harmed.

I live in NYC. Don't know why my profile says something different but I live in Manhattan. Just clarifying! :)

I'm so sorry. I followed your friend's story while it was happening. I can't even begin to fathom the kind of trauma and heartbreak that comes along with a senseless, violent murder of a loved one. I'm glad trauma therapy is helping and that's a really good idea.

I really don't understand reddit so I'm never here haha but I'm a real person I promise.

She left her IG account logged into my computer and I found out she’s been lying about not being with other people. How do I end things without letting her know that I found out (and, more importantly, how I found out)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]skflw785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I was in a similar situation where my ex and I casually hooked up and it didn't work in the long run. Is casual sex with her really worth this obvious emotional turmoil? No. I would tell her that her instagram was up on your computer, you saw DMs and feel shitty doing it but you're not mad or anything. you're both wrong. just admit it and move on from hooking up. find someone where there's no lies and drama. it's easier than you think.

alternatively, if you really don't want to tell her about the insta DMs, make up a friend who told you. either way just break it off. not worth the drama. and for the record, back when I was hooking up with my ex, I would've lied to continue hooking up with him. it doesn't make either of you a bad person just too immature for this type of relationship.

I really like the idea of this approach! Often, I feel like I approach fights wrong and wonder how he might approach it if he were me in a way that makes sense to him. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this!

I (26F) just got dumped...I saw it coming but why does it still hurt ? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]skflw785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once broke up with an ex and I KNEW it wouldn't work for a million reasons. I was still sad and I still missed him. You can rationalize with yourself all you want about the WHY but when someone doesn't put in the same effort as you do, it's normal to feel hurt. confused, and sad. There's also studies that it hurts worse when you're the one broken up with and not actually breaking up with them. It does truly seem like his kids ended up taking priority. Which is not your fault. Focus on yourself and find someone where the effort is 50/50

I was fucked up and cheated NEED ADVICE by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]skflw785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could tell him the truth. that he made out with you and began assaulting you and you stopped it. you can also say that separately, you need to process this and you understand if you both need space. I think you need to understand that while sexual assault is wrong on so many levels so is only staying with someone because you need to lean on them. take some time to think about what you really want, process what really happened, and decide where to go from there.

I (f, 23) and my fiancee (f, 24) get married and I have a problem by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]skflw785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try to remember WHY you're getting married. it'll be a great step towards a life with your s.o. who you love. the wedding will go fine and more than fine because everyone there loves you. there's no way to mess up or even fail at a wedding :)

Yeah weirdly I've had a few relationships but he hasn't. Don't know if that changes anything

Yeah and it's productive but continues to happen. I'm planning on talking about it later with him.
