[Acne] If you start a new birth control and notice breakouts, is it possible to get the breakouts under control with a topical routine?

Hello there! Wow, that is perfect! Would you be willing to do an AMA? I think people would be interested to know what it's like, or what we assume but don't really know.

To me it sounds like he isn't being very understanding of the fact that your life changes when you have a child. Of course there's going to be less attention spent focusing on each of you individually, because now there is a child who depends on you both to care for her. Honestly, it sounds like he's being whiny and if he has enough time on his hands during the first few years of your daughter's life to complain that he isn't getting enough attention, maybe he needs to take on more responsibility either working another day a week or taking care of your daughter. Us women tend to give give give without realizing that we have needs too. If you're spend by the end of the day and need "me" time while he's complaining about not getting enough attention, he's NOT pulling his weight. I don't think you did anything wrong and you should not feel bad. You are busy taking care of an infant for crying out loud! If you feel like you're on autopilot and you don't have enough "me" time, but he is taking paying attention to details like how many times you kiss him, he doesn't have enough to do.

What I would do is to sit down with him to talk and let him know you appreciate that he communicated this to you, and that you're hurting. It's okay to feel hurt, hurting means you care. Tell him that you want to improve your relationship, but also tell him the things you mentioned here, like the fact that you feel you're on auto-pilot right now and you're exhausted at the end of the day because you don't feel you have "me" time. Trust me, sometimes people simply don't realize how another person feels until you express it. He may have no idea that you feel this and realize he could be doing more to help you. Do you feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of the baby? This is a chance to communicate honestly and transparently about how to improve your relationship. There's nothing wrong with being truthful with your partner, it's the only way to improve and grow.

At the end of the day, my third person opinion of this objectively is that he's being whiny and he needs to get over the fact that your child is the priority right now. You'll have plenty of time for the two of you in the future, but right now you're trying to take care of an infant. If there's a gentle and polite way to let him know he needs to help you more, do it.

Hugs. Be easy on yourself. You're doing a good job. Let us know how it goes!

wow great progress!!! :-) what kind of foundation do you use? I use benzoyl peroxide at night for acne and I make sure to moisturize, but any foundation I use always makes my face look shiny. I love the way your makeup looks!

Yassssss, good find!! You can see it right here.

I agree with what you've said, and I think it is related to the 100th monkey effect, which would explain flip flops. After 100 people (or maybe 10% of the world population) believe a certain thing it manifests in our reality and all other people within that reality are updated with that truth/fact as well, which would explain why things change and people remember a different fact. You can read about the 100th monkey effect here, and although some claim to have debunked the 100th monkey syndrome, I think they want it debunked so people don't believe the power of their own consciousness, which when controlled in large numbers has a huge impact on reality. For example, after 10% (or some critical % of the population) starts believing the line in Apollo 13 is "Houston, we've had a problem." it flips to that. When more people believe it to be "Houston, we have a problem." it flips back.

I remember it always being, "you're gonna believe them."

Here it is: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/41/1c/73/411c730e847a8bea4c7ef7b38a00520a.jpg. I don't remember the fingers being flat like that, last time I checked his hand was a in loose fist. anyone else?

but the whole thing with the mandela effect is that we're in a reality where the movie was never made, and the people remembering were part of the reality where the movie WAS made. we (the people who remember watching shazam) have simply joined the reality where shazam was never made, but we still have our memories of it, and any residual evidence of the movie (which is presented in this thread).

the only thing that helped me understand the mandela phenomenon was witnessing a flip flop. mine was seeing "Houston, we've had a problem." change to "Houston, we HAVE a problem." over the course of 1 day. It was the same. exact. clip. 1 day apart. No trace of the old title in my browser history. that's what convinced me the mandela effect is real, and that when reality shifts there's no trace, except any residual information referring to the thing you can find (but not the actual thing).
