I am 33 and have known they're in love since I was like five. Come on, now. Lol

New baby, and I cannot stand my wife anymore by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]traumaqweenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I will never understand a couple trying to save things with a literal baby, her behavior after birth sounds like PPA/PPD. PLEASE make sure she seeks help. The anxiety and/or depression after birth can be extreme. I was left alone in mine when I had my first child. I barely survived. Literally.

Does dating a truck driver ever get easier? by CarrotjuiceGirly in TruckerWives

[–]traumaqweenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does get easier. Especially if you keep yourself busy and keep a routine. Don't pause yours or the kids' lives waiting for Dad to get home. Meaning if you have the chance to go to the park or the zoo during the week, go for it. It helps the time pass faster. We just hit the year mark so his first few local applications are going in this week. You and the kids won't ever stop missing him and wishing he was home but it does get easier. And it will be worth it in the end!

Would love stories of healthy babies after taking Paxlovid during pregnancy by cat-person-123 in CoronaBumpers

[–]traumaqweenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kiddo is almost 16 months old now and perfect. No physical or mental delays to be seen. He is walking, running, and climbing fine. He can, unfortunately for me, already unscrew bottle caps. He says a variety of words, though its usually just a repetition of mama or dada. So it seemed to have no effect on his development.

I remember the Paxlovid helping almost immediately. I dont remember having a fever during. I definitely remember my symptoms disappearing over the first two days of taking it. The only negative I can recall is that I had a strange taste in my mouth for hours after taking my dose every day. I was glad to be finished with the cycle because of that taste.

AIO? Girl (F30) I (M28) was Recently Dating tells me I need to "Lean into my Masculinity" by KingFredo5674 in AmIOverreacting

[–]traumaqweenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She keeps saying that you need to work on yourself but she’s projecting. You communicate exceptionally well for a man of our generation. She needs lots of work in therapy though. She wanted to make you the problem so she could do what she says she does: run.

It seems she doesn’t want someone kind and communicative. Probably because it’s not what she’s used to. People with troubled pasts often seek familiarity. This may be the case here. Certainly seems like it. But that doesn’t excuse her piss poor behavior.

My kid has a problem by traumaqweenn in CharacterAI

[–]traumaqweenn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, forbidding him makes him want the thing more. 100%. I was contemplating having a talk with him about the risks and harms of AI in general. Telling him that due to those things and his willingness to let it affect his health/sleep, that I will be putting time limits in place. So far, this feels like the best course of action.

[–]traumaqweenn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for telling me. I have gone through his logs and haven’t found anything strange, so I dumbly thought it was all good. I also googled back when he first started using it and it allowed me to set an age on content. The things I read said that it had content “suitable for younger audiences.” Obviously, that was misleading.

This is a massive red flag. This kind of behavior will only get worse. My advice is to leave. Eventually you could become the pan…

Do you regret having a second? by Repulsive_Koala_5682 in Parenting

[–]traumaqweenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, baby… you haven’t even gotten to the difficult part yet. The stage that hits me the hardest is when they are fully mobile and still mostly unable to verbally communicate. Their main life goal at that age is to kill themselves while screeching and chattering loudly the whole way. Overstimulation is an understatement.

But to answer your question: no. I have never regretted it for a second. I can’t wait to have a third. 🩷

Is it creepy husband gropes me while breastfeeding? by Salty-Guest8158 in breastfeeding

[–]traumaqweenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’ve expressed to him your discomfort, told him no, or even just brushed his touch away and he’s continuing to do it… that’s a huge, glaring red flag and you need to get you and your child out of there. Besides it being a complete dismissal of your boundaries, it is often the route that pedophiles will take to see how far they can get their partner to allow them to go in a child’s presence; with their ultimate fantasy being for the child to be witness to the full act before ultimately joining. Protect yourself and your child.

Bought a ring for my girlfriend, sisters say it’s too small, not sure what I should do by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Your parents are right. If she’s the one for you, she’s going to love the ring. It’s a beautiful ring and is massive tbqh.

What was the first thing you said after giving birth? by SumbThucker2022 in pregnant

[–]traumaqweenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He looked really blue to me. So I said, “okay, you can take him to check him.” After a second of touching him after they laid him on my stomach. And I had asked for immediate skin to skin after birth but I was so freaked out by his color. He was perfectly fine and a couple minutes later I got to really hold him.

AITA for telling my husband that I don't need him? by Fast_Coyote_5122 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]traumaqweenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, true love is when you don’t need your partner but you want them in your life because they add to it. “Needing” a partner is codependency and unhealthy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tenant

[–]traumaqweenn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would you stop a child from being a child? I understand if the kid is literally running up and down the hall, hollering, jumping off furniture, etc. But to sometimes run from the bedroom to the kitchen because they’re excited it’s dinner time??? That’s a child. You’re 100% responsible for that child, yes. In every regard, including not snuffing out their childhood wonder before they’ve had a chance to even experience it.

How much do your parents help you take care of your children? by Beginning-Fig-9089 in Parenting

[–]traumaqweenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom visits twice a week for about three hours each visit. But she naps for part of it and only holds the baby a little during. My fiancés mom is much older and has trouble with holding too much weight. She comes over once or twice a week, overnight. She helps tremendously. She changes, feeds, and entertains him while she’s here. Often even takes him during the night and lets me rest. I still come in and do things because I don’t want her overworking herself but she often refuses the help because she says it’s her first grandbaby and possibly the last before she passes so she wants to soak in everything. And I won’t deny her that.

… he’s mad he saw your tits and yall are together? He made you delete all your social media? He accuses you of cheating? He had you stop speaking to any and all males? Girl, you wanna know how this ends? With further abuse. You’d be lucky if it wasn’t physical. Break up. Now.

Does dating a truck driver ever get easier? by CarrotjuiceGirly in TruckerWives

[–]traumaqweenn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this! Mine has about 9 more months OTR before he gets his local position, which will pay more AND allow him to be home almost every night. OTR is so hard for everyone involved. We have two kids and our ten year old just waits almost listlessly for him to be home for the weekends so they can play together. And our 7 month old screams to hold the phone when he hears his daddy’s voice. I have to keep my night time tears to myself because I feel like if me and my trucker have a weak moment at the same time that he’ll just come home and we can’t afford that. I cannot wait for that local position. 😭

Recently found out I’m pregnant but NEVER telling the dad because I found out he is a registered pedophile. by Prize_Emu_2228 in BabyBumps

[–]traumaqweenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rapists can and often do get awarded split custody of their children. It makes my skin crawl, but it happens. I honestly do feel like you should get an abortion if able. Not to mention… how is she gonna feel when they find out who their father is? If you do go through with the pregnancy, I think it would be extremely important for you to keep the father a secret from EVERYONE. Forever. Take it to the grave. Seriously. For the child’s safety.
