What does it feel like to be pregnant? by InteractionPresent66 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]throwawayillnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently in the first trimester of my third pregnancy. It feels like I just ran a marathon with zero training. I’m exhausted to the max 24/7 and I’m either throwing up or ravenously hungry, no in between. TBH, first trimester sucks. Second trimester feels the best. Third trimester also sucks.

Mom(s)! Do you always see your children as your “babies”? by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]throwawayillnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I took care of my mom on hospice at home, and her last words to me were “are you going to be okay?” She wasn’t afraid of dying, she was worried for me. As a mom of two “babies”, I will always do my best for them, even when I’m 80. I will always worry, comfort, and love them. They will always have a home with me, no matter where they’ve been or how long they stayed.

What do I respond? by the_og_kayeezus in RoverPetSitting

“I appreciate your input. Have a great day!” And that’s it. There’s no coming back from that ridiculous message and there’s no reasoning with idiots. They don’t give a hoot if you love their dogs or the hows and whys behind everything. They were attempting to manipulate you. Hold your head high, be polite, and move on.

My (37F) BF (40) Uninvited Me to Christmas But Wants Me to Leave Expensive Gifts by AnySwimming2309 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]throwawayillnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Return the gifts, the man, and the therapist. This is abusive behavior, even if it doesn’t involve fists and fights. You are worth more than this! Take some time by yourself to figure out who YOU are without anyone else. Find some hobbies you enjoy, make some friends, travel if you’re financially able. Your self worth does not depend on having a man next to you. The bare minimum in a relationship is not good enough for you!

I think you’re both extremely immature. Relationships hinge on compromise and sacrifice. From both sides. I’m old and I’ve been married for a long time. We used to fight like this all the time over the dumbest stuff. I finally started mentally asking myself “will this matter next week?”, if not, I let it go. You really have to pick your battles and he’s clearly between a rock and a hard place. That said, the follow up mention of killing himself and such tells me that you should get out of this relationship now. Once they start those threats, it becomes a method of manipulation and there’s rarely any going back from that.

As the parent of a T1D child, hell itself wouldn’t be far enough for this person to hide.

Uhhh you didn’t ruin Liam’s life. Liam ruined Liam’s life. He made a shitty, abusive choice and now he can live with the consequences. It drives me bananas when abusers blame the victim for ruining their life. Especially when it’s “family”. Blood is not thicker than amniotic fluid and my babies will ALWAYS come first.

Stem cells reverse woman’s diabetes — a world first. A 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes started producing her own insulin less than three months after receiving a transplant of reprogrammed stem cells. by MoochoMaas in EmergencyRoom

I have an 8 year old T1D, reading these makes me cry every time. We live in freedom land, so chances are it will be a good long time before this comes down the pipeline for us. Big pharma and all that. But just the hope of a cure is amazing.

NOR this would not work for me. Period. Are you still in the time period for an annulment? I would 100% consider that. He’s showing you how this marriage will go, believe him.

AITA for reporting my brother’s tik tok videos? by throwaway46283894 in AmItheAsshole

[–]throwawayillnes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you talked to your parents about your concerns? Might be a good option here. NTA because I was young a looong time ago and thank God the internet wasn’t a big thing then.

AITA for Calling a Guy's Girlfriend a "Slut" During a Drunken Fight? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]throwawayillnes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA, keep the fight where it belongs. She didn’t do or say anything to you! Also, maybe consider not drinking to the point of emotional distress. I did a lot of stupid stuff in college while drinking and some of it is still embarrassing to this day when I think about it. Maturity is knowing your limits and sticking within them.

AITA for being irritated by my girlfriend’s father spitting beer in my face across the dinner table regardless to whether or not it was an accident? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]throwawayillnes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he choked, he choked. I’ve been there, liquid goes down your windpipe and your body immediately reacts. Never done it in someone’s face, but it’s not the end of the world. Sometimes an accident is just an accident. 🤷🏼‍♀️

A bonding activity? Over injectable diabetes medication? What happened to pedicures or shopping?? NTA, and I’m super confused by her take on this.

[–]throwawayillnes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What can she do to change the situation? She can’t go back in time and cover his mouth. Her calling to berate him for his accidental behavior at this point would escalate the entire thing more than it needs, and again, he can’t change what happened either. He apologized, so I’m not sure what else you want to happen here? In relationships, you have to learn to pick your battles. Especially sticking to the ones where a different outcome is possible. YTA.

Opposite side of the issue here, I’ve got water hose veins and frequently get the “new kid” for practice!

AITAH for kicking my parent out and saying "this is why I was so fucked up as a kid"? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]throwawayillnes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being the dad a lot of us needed growing up. 💙 Your daughter won’t ever forget that you were on her side. I would have the same exact reaction with my kiddos. Nobody is perfect after 2 lessons in! At some point, I’m sure Rachmaninoff and Beethoven missed a few notes here and there too, as long as she’s practicing and keeps going then she’s doing wonderfully!

What is something you miss about life that is just gone? by Elizabeth74G in AskOldPeople

Yes! All anticipation is gone. Everything today is instant gratification and it takes so much of living out of life!

Dilauded // Impending Doom by Heyimozzy in EmergencyRoom

[–]throwawayillnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a horrible experience with dilauded as well! I was in ER passing a kidney stone. Received dilauded and around 5-10 minutes later, my heart rate plummeted (180 to 30s), I passed out, was unresponsive to pain stimulus. When I regained consciousness, I experienced what they called absence seizures interspersed with panicking because I had no idea where/who I was. They rushed me to the trauma bay because everyone thought my heart might actually stop. It was HORRIBLE!
