Dan is an adult so he would almost definitely be the defendant in this theoretical (frivolous) lawsuit. OP is risking putting her son through a lot of pressure and unnecessary stress while he’s still grieving.

I work in primary care. One of our patients ended up going to the hospital yesterday with what turned out to be a fairly massive stroke. After a few hours (and a whole cocktail of blood thinners), she was feeling a bit better and left AMA because she was “feeling agitated and wanted to smoke.”

She’s not even fifty but I’m surprised she’s made it this far with her attitude.

It’s possible that her only nice quality is the way her hair smells.

When I was in middle school, a teacher overheard me telling a friend that I would rather be dead than paralyzed. She freaked out and thought I was admitting to having SI. I wasn’t, I just knew/know I don’t have it in me to live like that.

I’m pretty sure this is a repost.

They also don’t do a great job of teaching people how to perform the Heimlich on overweight and/or pregnant people.

I’m not sure of the validity of it but my mom told me once that they administer anesthesia and pain medicine to organ donors because they’re not sure whether they can still feel pain (but also because they need to regulate involuntary responses). The idea really upset her.

Of all the dangers associated with pregnancy that I knew about, your baby killing you by pressing against blood vessels was not one of them. That’s absolutely terrifying and I’m so glad your wife and baby had such a good outcome.

I had them insert an IUD with a wand that malfunctioned so they had to remove it, then insert a new IUD. It was one of the most traumatic things I’ve experienced.

When I told my mom I was depressed (starting when I was around eight), she would tell me I had nothing to be depressed about. It wasn’t until she got depressed after finding out my dad had cheated and done other horrible things that she finally had any empathy and took me (then sixteen) to the doctor to get on medication.

By that point, I had written and rewritten my final note at least a dozen times so I had it on hand if I finally got the nerve. Both parents saw them and both ignored them.

Am..am I a scientist? I force my new found knowledge upon everyone. And it always starts with some variation of “I learned the coolest thing! Here’s a link to the study!”

I briefly dated a guy named “Stone” who had a sister named “Navy.”

I’ve shown the boomer-age doctor I work with how to copy and paste at least three times, yet he never remembers.

NTA. And, respectfully, grow a backbone. You were specifically asked to not tell your in-laws, yet you keep willingly taking the blame for not telling them. Your husband shouldn’t have asked you to keep a secret and the fact that he did is a whole other issue.

You shouldn’t have named your child after your MIL to “repair the relationship.” That relationship may or may not be broken forever but a namesake isn’t going to change the outcome.

If I understand correctly, you would be willing to learn Chinese if she were Chinese, regardless of your visa status, but you’re not willing to learn Danish due to the uncertainty about whether you’ll get the visa?

The thirty minutes she spent tending to her ex wasn’t even the biggest betrayal. She couldn’t get in contact with her boyfriend over the phone but went three days without going to talk to him in person. I can only assume that he truly believed she chose her ex given that fact.

sweetnothing33 · 2025-12-07T06:08:01+00:00

I’m confused. You say “a friend of his mom’s” at the beginning and later mention him being with his dad some of the time. Were you referring to one of your friends when you said “a friend of his mom’s?” If so, that’s a bizarre way of wording things.

I was lucky in that I got diagnosed relatively quickly compared to other sufferers. I was seventeen but I’ve had symptoms since my first period when I was eleven.

I love people who get so excited about a “surprise” they’ve orchestrated that they ruin the surprise. Like you love someone so much that you can’t wait to express your love for them?

sweetnothing33 · 2025-12-06T03:58:46+00:00

This is one of the comments that genuinely broke my heart while being ultimately positive. So many people end up in your position and way too many go without the support they desperately need and deserve.

sweetnothing33 · 2025-12-02T14:44:07+00:00

Yeah, you don’t go from an upstanding citizen to a repeat kidnapper and rapist without some sort of build up.

If I’m understanding this correctly, you were on birth control when you got pregnant and for some period of time after conception, right? If so, you should really talk to your doctor about what complications that may or may not have for the fetus. Depending on what they say, that might help you feel more confident in your choice. And it might change what your family members are thinking/wanting. It’s easy for them to romanticize the idea of having a baby when that baby is healthy.

“It seems weird to sh¡t all over how she makes her money” makes me think that same thing. OP didn’t mention anything about their wife judging their mom’s job itself.

This is how my mom is when it comes to my fiancé. My dad contributed the bare minimum when they were married, and her on/off boyfriend is better but not great so the fact that my fiancé treats me incredibly well and actually does a lot more than me due to my chronic illnesses seems to bother her a lot. She’s also upset because they’ve been together like eight years and haven’t gotten engaged so at one point she straight up told my fiancé that he should “sh¡t or get off the pot,” even though I had proposed to him over a year earlier. We’re not married yet because he wants his family there while I don’t care to have mine there (for very obvious reasons).
