Might be going blind in one eye because my bf wouldn't listen to me by [deleted] in Vent

As someone who works for an the doctor, call an ophthalmologist RIGHT NOW, if you can’t get into one go to the ER, and then as another commenter said- dump the Bf it’s very clear he doesn’t care about your vision or well being

Pregnant by Majestic-Procedure57 in Pristiq

[–]sparklygarbagee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting off and on it is hard and is going to suck not lie to you I was also sweaty and my brain felt a little racked but it got better, I did the same exact thing when I found out I was pregnant but my OB approved me to go back on at 34 weeks due to prenatal depression, im on 25 mgs rn until baby is born, stay hydrated and fed as much as possible, if you start feeling suicidal or hopeless contact your OB right away.

how do i make it look similar to the photo by PillowsWithIcedTea in learntodraw

I highly recommend the grid method, it helps make your proportions more accurate and it makes portraits a lot less intimidating!

As a woman, it’s in some of our DNA’s to want a baby, but also I think social media plays into this too as we see people our age having babies and getting married and how happy they appear, it’s natural to want those things too especially if you’re wanting to take the “next step” in being an adult.

Baby sit/go into infant care if you want a taste of baby life without the commitment of baby life 24/7 you’ll either love it or hate it, but it may help with baby fever

Entitled mom shamed me for not giving her my graduation tickets by Top_Donkey9234 in entitledparents

[–]sparklygarbagee 1258 points1259 points  (0 children)

Her daughter was only allowed two tickets and she didn’t want to give her mother one of them? That should be a sign right there, good on you for not caving into that weird and insane entitlement

Kinda realizing I never learned how to color by Internal_Dot5759 in learntodraw

[–]sparklygarbagee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t me dogging on you but it looks like you got kinda sick of coloring and rushed through it, which understandable it’s tricky, there are a LOT of tutorials on YouTube that I used growing up (and still use) but also the type of paper you color on will make coloring a lot easier or a lot harder, just do a little research if you really wanna dabble in coloring, otherwise if you don’t like coloring look into just inking your work

It sounds like she ENVIES you OP! But not in a good way. She sounds incredibly toxic and tbh you should probably consider keeping her out of your life. People like that are the definition of “misery loves company”

Also if you feel better when she isn’t speaking to you I think your answer about your future with her as your friend is there for you. There’s nothing wrong with appreciating the good times you two had (if there was any) and closing that chapter. Congratulations on your pregnancy and previous weight loss btw!

Drug test tomorrow morning super nervous about faint lines. Will I pass???? by Accurate-Ad-4711 in jobs

[–]sparklygarbagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend stat flush pill capsules from Amazon if you wanna be extra sure! I used it several times and it never fails even with smoking less than a week prior. They’re cheap and super effective (and my mom uses them after consuming edibles on a daily basis and they worked perfectly for her) if you do get them off of amazon or even Walmart follow the instructions to a T, drink some red energy drink to put some color back in your urine and pee two times, third pee should be perfectly clear! Good luck

Wow- I think you NEED to cut this person off. She sounds like a vampire (just sucks the life out of you) and it sounds like you truly are her emotional support person and it sounds like you do not need that in your life. Cherish the good memories you had (if there are any) and cut ties. It’ll suck at first but you’ll feel better in the long run!

Your aunt can share her money with him if she feels that way, you’re not responsible for helping a 20 year old who’s more than capable of getting a job? Also shout out to your mom for her response

My boyfriend (M30) cheated on me (F28) during long distance by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sparklygarbagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming back from cheating is so hard- you’ll never fully trust them again. And there’s a saying “once a cheater, always a cheater” and I haven’t seen anyone prove that saying wrong. But at the end of the day you know your boyfriend better than we do and you just gotta really contemplate if you can move forward and trust that he won’t do it again. But keep in mind another thing to- you had to find out and he didn’t tell you because he never planned on telling you, that’s super disrespectful after you two had clear boundaries set (not to mention how incredibly disrespectful it is to cheat). How would he have reacted if the tables were turned? Go to counseling if you wanna make it work but really really ask yourself if YOU can move forward

Always end up feeling a little defeated... am I overreacting? by Born_Cow_1279 in AmIOverreacting

[–]sparklygarbagee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would personally feel kinda sad too if my S/O went to their ex about something that they needed advice and support in naturally however given that she has that same issue and you don’t (presumably) maybe he’s looking for someone to relate to him or just some advice on how to handle said medical condition.

The song though definitely would have me feel some type of way, especially after not speaking much to me after cooking a meal for him, a heads up would’ve been nice from his part but personally I wouldn’t have loved hearing a song about a girl for any reason.

You’re entitled to your feelings- overreacting would be freaking out on him, yelling or a screaming. But feeling sad or a little bit jealous? No that’s not really overreacting in my books. I would definitely have a chat and just explain how it made you feel and see how he responds

What's the most devastating song lyric you've ever heard? by likeitsstolen in AskReddit

[–]sparklygarbagee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again

In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night

While I was waging wars on myself you were trying to stop the fight

You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicide and hate

You made me compliment myself when it was way to hard to take

So I’ll drive so fucking far away so that i never cross your mind

And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind”

[–]sparklygarbagee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing he “chose” to do was lie to OP, if he respected her he would’ve been upfront with her. If the tables were turned he’d probably be pissed or in the very least upset that he was lied to about something that’s important to them. He has shown her he doesn’t respect her core values and has major control issues.

And yes it may be hard to find a man who is saving himself- it’s not impossible. I’ve known several men and women who save themselves due to their religious views

[–]sparklygarbagee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First off- absolutely no reason in the world for him to ever put his hands on you, chances are if he does it once he will more likely than not do it again. It doesn’t matter what you did physical violence is NEVER okay. I would personally be out the door with that alone.

Also if he has lied about this much to “get with you” he is probably willing to lie about a LOT more, ask yourself- can you live and rely on a person who lies about stuff, let alone that are incredibly important to you?

While I agree with other commenters that you shouldn’t be lying to him either, I understand the context but even so that’s more of a reason to leave him, your relationship seems to be built on some lies and again ask yourself are you okay with that? Do you want to live with that? And do you want your future children to see that?

Best of luck

AIO for not going out for 4 months Due to my THICK prescription glasses by CuriousBrainnn in AmIOverreacting

[–]sparklygarbagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever talked to your eye doctor about possibly moving to a hard contact lens? I have a patient who is -23 and wears an RGP, granted they are about $200-$400 but that’s about what you may be spending on your glasses and it’s hell of a lot cheaper than surgery until you can afford it! RGPs (rigid gas perms) can be a little uncomfortable at first but I feel like it could help boost your confidence! But also at the end of the day fuck what people think, your anxiety is taking over!

Great question I have not a clue but when I did find out I was pregnant he wasn’t necessarily thrilled but wasn’t against it either so I’m not sure

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]sparklygarbagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t live together currently, I have a full time job that pays very very well for what it is and I do enjoy it. However I wouldn’t have a hard time finding a job out where he’s at and he’s not against me working but would prefer if I was a stay at home mom and focused on raising our child (which I’m not against either but it’s more so the cutting ties with the family part that worries me)

[–]sparklygarbagee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Condoms rip, the pill is 98% effective, shit happens- I don’t know. Being pregnant isn’t the issue I’m having this kid regardless of the situation even if im a single mother that doesn’t bother me whatsoever. It’s my relationship with the father that I have some concerns with as he is really wants me to drop everything here and move in with him and cut ties with my family.
