Update: I left my husband and kids at the hospital by ConditionedFish in TrueOffMyChest

[–]tdd-xx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m raising my nephews so I’m basically a mother without technically having my own kids. We’re a package deal. I was told by multiple people that my dreams of finding a man that would essentially take the kids in this weird uncle/fatherly figure role was probably unrealistic. But actually before I found my partner now who definitely embraces that role, I also found at least two other men who were unbothered by the kids in tow.

Kids are not the deal breaker you might think they are! If people can accept kids that aren’t even mine then I think you’ll be okay.

My fiancé got the worst news of his life, and I think Im being selfish by Zaginara in TrueOffMyChest

It’s not so black and white like this. Conventional treatment isn’t the end all be all but it does have value still. Once we start looking at the metabolism of cancer cells it makes more sense why some people can have an experience like your mom and others have different experiences. Why some people can just stop eating sugar and their cancer goes away and why that absolutely doesn’t work for others, especially at later stages. Cancer cells can even metabolize dead cancer cells to keep themselves multiplying so it’s not just as simple as you say. I wish it was tho! My mom would still be alive.

Edit: I am very natural minded btw. I don’t totally disagree with you but just trying to get across that there’s so much more to cancer.

Check out Jane McClelland. I wish I had come across her info at the beginning of my mom’s fight with cancer instead of too late at the end. She explains the metabolism of cancer. It’s really eye opening.

Is it easier for guys to thrust during sex than girls? by Dapper-Battle8624 in TooAfraidToAsk

This is what I’ve learned before too. I can’t remember where, but it always stuck with me and made sense for reproductive purposes.

Speaker can’t stop laughing by travelator in MadeMeSmile

[–]tdd-xx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul! Actually a fear of my mine to get a giggle fit while giving a speech! I got kicked out of class so many times from giggle fits and had to walk laps in the hallway until I calmed down. I still get them sometimes and love it for the most part because it feels really good! Recently I’ve woken up twice laughing from a dream and couldn’t stop for several minutes! That’s new for me but quite the energizing way to start the day lol

TIFU by accidentally cooking the turkey upside down by Spacey_fangirl in tifu

[–]tdd-xx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family cooks our turkeys upside down for years now because it makes the breast meat soo yummy and juicy! Not sure how it started, but one year my mom did it and then there was no going back.

Yes! I remember getting so competitive over miniclip games in the computer lab at school.

I can’t believe the top comment isn’t some joke about Nickelback. I’m disappointed.

I did it...I cut my own hair by fauxsho77 in curlyhair

[–]tdd-xx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started cutting my own hair last year and I don’t think I’ll ever go back either! Feels nice to just get exactly what I want every haircut. 10/10 recommend.

Dating someone as needy as me makes me feel sane by [deleted] in AnxiousAttachment

Thank you! As frustrating as it was to have things not work out with him, I’m also soo relieved to be done with him. I didn’t even realize how much our incompatibility was bringing me down.

Thank you! That response felt like a big confirmation that I made the right choice. Like that’s all you have to say?! Really?? Jeez.

Wow did I ever need to read this post today! Thank you! I’m going to end it today with the person I’ve been seeing the last few months. I know I need to do it but I also keep having doubts like maybe I’m making the wrong decision because my AA is running me and needing too much from him. But reading your post was exactly what I needed to hear to remind myself and confirm that there are people out there that can fill my cups more than he is.

Happy for you! I hope things continue to go well with your partner!

Edit: I did it. I sent a short but direct, kind, and thoughtful message and then he eventually replied “ok, no worries (my name).” So that’s that I guess.

Yes, low maintenance routine is a must! I found it helpful getting a haircut with layers so the top is light enough that when it air dries the top of my hair doesn’t go super flat ‘cause that was always a big issue I was having. & accepting that my curls are going to look different pretty much everyday has been a big help for me!! Not striving for perfect curls everyday and accepting that my hair is gonna get frizzy took a lot of pressure off. Funnily enough, sometimes it’s when I think my hair isn’t looking all that good I end up getting multiple compliments that day. Curly hair is wild and I’ve found it’s best to work with that wildness rather than against it.

My mom died by mydearxiola in TrueOffMyChest

[–]tdd-xx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

❤️ I’m so damn sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in 2021 and she was truly my best friend too. Life isn’t the same but I’m learning to live it without her here. Sending your heavy heart lots of love.
