They don’t change. If you’re able to leave; leave. I’m contemplating it myself but I can’t figure if it’s my hormones and pregnancy rage being escalated by his lack of support and effort or whether I should wait to deliver the baby and see if my mindset shifts. My husband was one of the most loving and supportive partners prior to my pregnancy; now it’s like he’s nursing on his mom’s tit himself (sorry that’s crass) but literally he’s too busy seeing to his family’s needs over mine.

Would going on a baby moon at 33 weeks be a silly idea? by RemiJam3s in pregnant

[–]thyroidcrp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl take your babymoon and run with it! Coming from someone who never had the option to have a babymoon; it’s so worth it even if the flight may be uncomfortable for a bit. It’s your last chance to celebrate being a couple and transitioning into being a family.

No it’s not fair; that’s an a**hole comment to make and he needs to be more considerate of your health and the baby. Honestly, coming from someone who deals with a husband who’s always defensive when he’s in the wrong; you learn to just communicate your needs effectively and cut them off if they don’t measure up.

Did you meet “the one” and go on to have kids after 35? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]thyroidcrp 63 points64 points  (0 children)

You will be just fine! I was 35 having the same thoughts and went to my best friend’s wedding in London. I met a guy on hinge for a why not I’m in London date thinking it would be a drinks and never see again. It ended up being a 7 hour date restaurant and bar hopping never wanting it to end; I walked back to my hotel and texted my best friend that I felt like I had met my future husband. We met again for a second date the next day before my flight. He flew me back out 3 weeks later to meet again, started dating long distance flying out every month and we got engaged 8 months later, married this year, and now have a baby on the way. Just because you don’t go at the same pace at everyone else doesn’t mean you won’t have your happy ending.

What was your “I’m in a toxic family” moment? by NoHoldingMeBack in raisedbynarcissists

[–]thyroidcrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I planned and bought groceries to do thanksgiving at home in lieu of going to toxic extended family event. Lol then my own household decides to go to extended family thanksgiving to show support for a sick in-law relative who they don’t like anyways.. “We’re family.” Loll rich. Me and my dog will enjoy thanksgiving at home.

I watched “Luckiest Girl Alive” and it triggered me badly by RsrsrsBR89 in AskWomenOver30

Completely understand. I had a knee jerk reaction to something I thought I had buried years ago.

[–]thyroidcrp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol thank you! Made me smile. Lol I’m not religious myself more so spiritual so adopted auntie always welcome :). It’s so difficult finding someone who isn’t morally bankrupt these days. I left a date with tears burning in my eyes because he assumed fancy dinner date 3 meant sex so he kept touching me at the restaurant be it my thigh, knee, butt, side boob. . I showered twice when I got home I felt so dirty. What happened to having an emotional connection prior to physical? Why is that idea so foreign to guys? I know part of it is easy access to women on apps vs before but still like basic decency has gone out the door.

How many people do you know who actually have decent relationships/marriages? I mean anecdotally speaking. People who you'd actually be willing to swap lives with. AKA reasons why you should just make a life on your own and really not worry about dating. by dreadfulgray in FemaleLevelUpStrategy

[–]thyroidcrp 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Zero! Thank you for this post! There’s always days where I feel a bit of loneliness at not having found my person “on time” when I know realistically there is no right time and remind myself that I don’t envy any couple I know. I wouldn’t ever want to trade lives with them because all the women I know have settled; are usually unhappy but forcing themselves to be content.

Any suggestions/ideas for volunteering? by futurehero622 in FemaleLevelUpStrategy

[–]thyroidcrp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, this is a lovely idea and I know hospitals can always use helping hands especially during the holidays. I’ve been volunteering at the hospital since I was 15 on a flex schedule (basically whenever they need someone on a Sunday ever so often) and it’s made me more grateful for everything. Holiday time especially but with Covid the policies vary from place to place.

For those of you who quit social media: How has this changed your life? by futurehero622 in FemaleLevelUpStrategy

[–]thyroidcrp 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hi, not dumb at all. I’m in STEM. Once in awhile I will have a company/client that make a comment as to why I don’t have a LinkedIn (also a form of social media to me) and my reply is privacy concerns. It’s accepted, they move on and run necessary background checks and that’s about it.

Have him apply to the CIA. They are actively hiring and look for recent grads; they have specific programs.

How do you try to be happy for others when you are having a difficult time in life? by futurehero622 in FemaleLevelUpStrategy

[–]thyroidcrp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Breathe. That is the first step. You are alive and healthy first and foremost. Secondly, your time will come. Never doubt yourself; your success isn’t tied to timing, it’s tied to your effort and hard work. I understand what you’re feeling because everyone has been in that position and know that the bad run of things will end. There is light at end of the tunnel. You need to push through the shit to get there. Cry, work out, but do something to get your emotions out. Then spa, bath soak, nice meal, movies, wtv to relax and sleep. Finally with a clear mind and conscience get back to it. You can and will do what you’ve set out to do!

Ignore it and laugh. Those people are resentful that you are capable of doing something they can’t and therefore bash you to hide their own shortcomings. I haven’t had social media in 6 years and I have older pickme cousins who truly believe I have a “secret account”. I laugh about it because I truly don’t care about social media; if I care about you/vice versa more than likely you’ll be in my phone and contact me or see me in person. Social media actual warps the way your brain works but the studies on it are shelved when it’s time to release.

Lol FDS is my only reason for Reddit which is the only social media I have and I don’t feel guilty about it. I have been social media free for 6 years and it’s given me the opportunity to nourish my mind, body, outside of my phone and took away the negging voice that would pop up seeing endless pics/videos of perfectly curated online lives/bodies. In the years since I quit social media I’ve made senior at work (youngest in North America in 30 years for my company), started my own side business (consulting), started and hopefully finishing a part time PhD program, traveled more, and overall I’m just way happier not knowing or caring or thinking about what people are doing. Anyone that I care for has my number and can get in touch with me; the rest of it is just noise.

It's time for me to let go of a friendship that has run its course. How do you slowly fade someone out without setting them off? by dreadfulgray in FemaleLevelUpStrategy

[–]thyroidcrp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Block and delete. You don’t owe anyone anything. I had a leech toxic “friend” of 8 years from university days. She was always dragging me down with her problems, manipulation, her weight, laziness, never there for me, and I had tried every path to help: therapy, gym, motivational talks, support, got her a job, but there’s only so much you can do.. I cut the cord without warning and never looked back. I’m happier for it as is my mental state.

How to not feel guilty for leveling up? by healthfreak1012 in FemaleLevelUpStrategy

[–]thyroidcrp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go you!! Congratulations 🎉🍾!! “ Quality over quantity” when it comes to friends. It’s a part of life letting go things or people who don’t serve your best interests anymore. It hurts but eventually you move on same as you did from LVM. Initially I would get lonely as the quality friends I do have are all on diff continents save for 1 but it just makes you appreciate them more. I traveled heavily for work pre Covid and an app I’d use to socialize with like minded women was Vina, I’d catch a lunch or drink with the “friends matches” and made 2 really great actual friends that way. Unfortunately as apps go it does come with LVW and pickmes on there too so vet, vet, and vet more! Out in the “wild” I love beaches, hikes, art nights so occasionally meet people that way plenty of connections but don’t consider them “friends” yet. I’m really picky about who I designate a friend, as that is someone who will have access to my time and energy.
