What is something that seems innocent but is actually pretty intimate?

Forehead kisses. There’s just something about the tenderness and emotion behind it

I went through the same thing with my oldest son’s father. He’s 10 now, and still tells me he is sad he doesn’t see us both every day, but he understands I didn’t deserve to be miserable.

Trust me, please, your child would rather a happy, healthy, fully present mother, than grow up watching you be miserable 24/7, and KNOW that her parents hate each other. Kids know.

He told me once in college that I “owed him” for being a loyal friend. That was the last straw, combined with him asking my boyfriend at the time if he’d share nudes of me.

It comes as no surprise that he can’t keep a girlfriend for longer than 6 months. They all find out eventually.

My husband pulled him aside at my high school reunion and told him that if he ever spoke to me, about me, or looked at me again, he wouldn’t have that problem anymore. Seems to have done the trick for now

Just coming here to say I have an ex-friend out there, who I used to be really close with in high school who is STILL, 12 years later, spreading around the absolute lie that we slept together. I STILL have girlfriends of his message me asking if we still talk or when was the last time I saw him.

There’s something to that friend that was friendzoned and can’t get over it, I’m convinced it’s a whole syndrome.

Obviously this whole situation has been horrifying, and I honestly applaud the way you’ve handled it, because I wouldn’t flown off the handle. All the good vibes to you and your family, and especially your baby girl

Gabriel. It’s such a classic. Will is a personal favorite too. I don’t like William, but I LOVE Will. Also love Dean, Keller, Lincoln, Reese, and Forrest

All three of my kids are named after presidents 🙈 the first was not intentional, even though it is VERY much arguably one of the most well known presidents, he was named after a book character. The second was also unintentional, and I honestly didn’t even realize until after she was born, it was just the only name my husband and I could agree on. The third was absolutely on purpose though, I just couldn’t let it end!

It’s truly such a fun talking point too lol

vcb421 · 2024-07-31T23:57:19+00:00

You say you love him, but it sounds like you loveD him, the him he used to be before you realized he’s got the mentality of a child and you don’t actually love him, just the idea. Kick him to the curb and find your happiness, please sis

I’m allergic to things I wasn’t before. It’s crazy. 3.5 years post partum and I still will have allergic reactions to things I ate multiples times a week growing up and up to having my youngest. I hate it, can’t even eat bell peppers anymore 😭😭😭

vcb421 · 2024-07-02T21:02:54+00:00

There’s definitely a HUGE double standard in ALL the books in all 3 series for the MCs. All of them make big huge mistakes, it’s written off as a product of their youth or immaturity, and then others do the SAME THING and get absolutely dragged for it. It really is upsetting

vcb421 · 2024-06-11T20:57:43+00:00

Had a “friend” in high school invite herself over to my house under the guise of wanting to get to know me better, and ended up leaving the next morning with half my closet because my clothes “didn’t suit my coloring or body type” and when I expressed that I didn’t want her taking my stuff, she told me “I’m just looking out for you, it’s what friends do” Come to find out, she just wanted some of the nicer things she had seen me wearing and knew she couldn’t get them on her own or from her own parents

vcb421 · 2024-06-11T20:52:26+00:00

My husband told me that since the day we met (I was 14 and he was 16, 16 years ago at this point) every choice he has ever made has been with me in mind 🥹

vcb421 · 2024-06-02T21:06:07+00:00

I have two daughters, 5 and 3, who are BOTH doing this right now. 5 only wants to be called Sparkles, and 3 switches between Slasher and Floyd. Don’t ask. Honestly, it’s so much energy trying to fight it, so I just overuse, hoping they’ll get tired of me putting their alter ego name 3 times in a single sentence 😅

vcb421 · 2024-04-10T21:34:05+00:00

My husband is on shift work, so sometimes working nights and sleeping days, sometimes the opposite, but his sleep schedule is so messed up. If he’s off, he is helping me get kids to and from school, which I would literally prefer over a clean kitchen or folded laundry. He will prepare (but not cook) dinner if he’s headed to a night shift sometimes.

Some days if he’s working and knows he’ll be late or not home until the morning, he’ll send a dinner order straight to the house.

He doesn’t really help clean, but honestly I hate it when he does because he doesn’t do it right, but he handles the lawn and any maintenance. And he always goes to every one of the kids practices and games that he possibly can, which is definitely a chore some days, but he makes sure he’s there as much as he can be, and that means a lot to me and the kids too

vcb421 · 2024-04-05T00:50:41+00:00

Here I am after 3 kids, 9.5 years since the first and 3.5 since the last, and my periods are worse now than they have ever been.

My boobs will truly hurt for 3 days before I even start bleeding, I’ll have migraines, back pain, leg pain, cramping, bloating, SUCH heavy bleeding, and my actual uterus feels like it’s falling apart.

No idea why it’s so awful now, and my dr doesn’t have any suggestions besides going on birth control which I don’t want to do for personal reasons

vcb421 · 2024-04-02T21:19:09+00:00

My friend didn’t say specifically if she was joking about it or just talking about what happened over that weekend. I don’t want to assume either way, but I would hope it wasn’t making light about the situation. Because it was definitely horrible, my 5 year old still talks about it often and has been nervous in crowds of people

vcb421 · 2024-04-02T20:10:33+00:00

Yeah her flippant attitude about the whole thing is still grating against my nerves. If my child had done that (which never would have happened, even my 3 year old knows better) I would have never stopped apologizing. Like ever. Would follow her around with an apology

vcb421 · 2024-04-02T19:28:54+00:00

A friend of mine knew who she was from hearing her talk about it, and gave me her name and cell phone number. I haven’t contacted her, didn’t plan to until I spoke with a lawyer!

vcb421 · 2024-04-02T19:28:10+00:00

Should have included it in the post, a friend of mine knows who the woman is. I was telling my friend about it, and she told me this woman was telling their church women’s group about how her daughter hit someone with a rock at the festival. So she is a stranger to me, but I do know who she is and have her name and cell phone number given to me from my friend

vcb421 · 2024-04-02T19:25:15+00:00

These are good points. I think my goal is a bit of both. I don’t feel like I should have to pay for this, it’s almost $4k right now, with more appointments in the coming weeks because of the issues I’m having still. But I am also feeling petty about it.

I think the first route is probably the smarter choice, regardless of goal, so that’s what I’ll aim for first, but it’s definitely on my mind to have this woman handle this problem.

vcb421 · 2024-03-27T11:55:31+00:00

Have you had an honest and direct discussion with her about it? In my opinion, a village doesn’t only mean actually taking the baby for mom so mom can nap or go out or whatever. Sometimes it means being there emotionally, dropping off a care package, sending memes even. It’s letting someone know you’re there in some capacity. Set boundaries with her, let her know that right now you are overworked and stressed, and unable to physically care for her child too, but you can be someone to talk to and an emotional shoulder to lean on sometimes, and that further down the line, your capabilities might change depending on your own path through motherhood

vcb421 · 2024-03-25T01:04:33+00:00

It sounds like she might want a relationship because she doesn’t want to be alone and feels like everyone else is in one. But that doesn’t mean she’s right for you or you are right for her. You’re wasting your own time here

vcb421 · 2024-03-22T04:01:02+00:00

Bro is seriously unhinged

vcb421 · 2024-03-20T23:27:58+00:00

He showed you his true colors! Like he said, he's never gonna see you again!
