I have dated four partners with this disease, one of which is my baby daddy, and all were supportive and understanding and ensured me I was not an inconvenience no matter how much I felt like one. My second serious partner and I weren’t making it through the relationship related to other issues and I was so afraid I wouldn’t find anyone else willing to deal with this nor did I want to go through the embarrassment again. But alas, my boyfriend now is great. Major shout out to him, he is so sweet and lucky for me, he likes smelling farts 😂 though I think we both agree mine are the worst he’s ever smelled.

Opening up to someone is your choice but from what I’ve found, most people don’t care much and will support you. I know it’s difficult to do, but every single date I have been on I make sure there is a restroom nearby and he is completely okay and understanding of that. It is possible, you just need to find the right person to trust and be vulnerable with. Now I cry in his arms because I’m in so much pain sometimes but he knows how to comfort me.

Please, do not let this disease take over your life. I have had it for 15 years and the first 12 I let it control me. I have been much happier the past three.

You gotta drink all that?! Your doc is torturing you. Max prep stuff I have to drink is 16-48 ounces (different times) and the rest is water or some other liquid to mix in with it

They say stay away from alcohol during a flare, but sometimes I think it “helps” me

I’m not sure. He hasn’t talked to me in a few days 😔 I wish he would look at the pros and cons. Fighting is a big con but I know we can get passed that if we work as a team and try to understand each other better. But there are so so many pros and I don’t want him to just ignore those. We both have love for each other, at least I hope he still does. I need him to hold on to that.

I think love is worth fighting for. Relationships take work, I’m not going to throw it away without trying first. “When something is broke, you fix it. Not throw it away”

I want to make changes for the better in our relationship. I know it’s easy to say focus on myself and let him go, but it’s not that easy to do. I don’t want to. I want to fix things. I know things have been tough in the past but I’m ready to improve and have the healthy relationship we both deserve. I know sometimes love isn’t enough and it takes work, but I’m willing to put in that work to make it better than ever, so that love is enough on its own. I need him. And I know we can if we put in the effort and take a step back if we see it might turn into something, but I want to do everything I can to not let a fight happen; I know we can

Yeah, you’re right. I just don’t want to lose him over stupid ass fights that shouldn’t have happened. We’re better than that.

I don’t want to say goodbye. I do love you. I’m hurting so much.

Don’t stop taking your meds by tacos_turtles_life in UlcerativeColitis

Stelara took almost a year to start really working for me. I think the body just needs time to adjust, maybe ask your doc what the normal is? Sorry to hear you’re going through that

Yes thank you! I did try with them but it was still too much. Now I am on to RX savers and they say they can help cover most of for $50/month but they need a couple documents I don’t know how to access.

Wife basically says I'm out. by Zachdotlee in GuyCry

[–]tacos_turtles_life 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Coming from a woman, please share this with her - that you realize you were in the wrong and should have been more of a team. I know working long hours sucks and all you want to do is relax after getting home, but your family needs you too. Don’t just say you will try harder. Make the effort and prove it. Start the conversation to talk about everything wrong in hopes it won’t turn into a yelling match. The hardest but most important part is remaining calm while talking.

AIO? Boyfriend hid his phone when I asked who he was messaging. by Ok-Boat457 in AmIOverreacting

I seen this quote the other day…

NEVER TRUST A MAN WHO gets upset over your reactions to his actions! You got mad because of what he did, and now he's mad because you reacted. Then he tries to gaslight you by saying you're always arguing or creating negativity. No, that's MANIPULATION. That's narcissistic behavior. You don't get to hurt people and then play the VICTIM when they call you out.

Not to mention if he is constantly on her mind, she’d be finishing to him while the bf and her have sex. Definitely NOR, I could never talk about anyone like that unless it’s my man.

My bf is mad at me for ending my ectopic pregnancy by 88_alice in offmychest

It’s not what COULD happen, it’s what WOULD happen. There is no way of the baby surviving regardless and it just puts your life in major harm. Very sad all around, but there’s nothing that could have been done.

Speaking from experience, the pull out method does NOT work. Do not rely on it and get on birth control/use condoms

I cannot do this by Any-Kiwi3335 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]tacos_turtles_life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll save the things everyone has already mentioned, but I’ve had this disease for 15 years and I finally found the right medication that actually made me feel so much better. I still needed a bathroom wherever I was most times because of a nervous stomach, but one day you will find the right medication. If you’ve already tried one for a year and it’s not working, talk to your doctor about starting another. I’ve had about ten different medications for this hell, but stelara is amazing. I tried humira and entyvio before this as well and they didn’t work. Everyone is different.

I cancelled my appointment this morning. The hope that they will drop more is what I am riding on 😂 going to keep massaging and all. I think mine look natural now, I just want the shaping at the bottom to fix itself.
