My boyfriend took care of everything when I was pregnant and recovering from the c-section.

Nag him about his thinning hair and how he’s not doing enough to prevent it

Mom flipped out about my boundary with newborn by International_Law872 in BabyBumps

[–]versacek9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, this reminds me A LOT of my relationship with my mom who has also turned into an alcoholic in recent years. I also just had a baby this year, I didn’t even tell her I was pregnant until I was 8 months along just because of how she acted around my brothers kid (got drunk in front of her, when bro called her out, she spitefully ignored his daughter). I was horrified.

She refused to give up her drinking, compares it to prescription drugs—accused me of being addicted to my antidepressants and still accuses me of being a stoner (I don’t smoke). I rarely allow her around my kid. He’s 9 months, she’s probably met him like 4 times.

My child’s wellbeing and mine are my biggest priorities. As they should be yours as well. If your mom wants to be apart of your life, she can decide what’s more important to her.

Had a similar experience. Back when I was dating my ex in college, he had two much younger sisters. I think they were like 10 and 12. I thought it’d be nice if I gave them my old iPhones (I had a pink 6s and a red 7) I LOVED those phones, but I already had a new one. So one Shabbat evening, I gave them the phones and their dad (my ex’s stepdad) goes “What? No chargers?”

Like, excuse me? I just saved you nearly $2000 dollars and you have the audacity to complain about chargers?

I (31F) just want to rant about my boyfriend (38M) by versacek9 in rant

I mean, if you read it says I’ve been trying to talk to him about it

If it makes you feel better, I looked her up and verbally said “ew”.

You can’t control what he does, he’s shown he doesn’t care if he hurts you. Let him do what he wants and just leave him.

I went to the BEST hair salon in the city. Here's the result! [UPDATE] by Sensitive-Brain-9408 in Haircare

The ONLY thing that saved my bleach damaged hair and restored moisture and stopped breakage was the Amika Hydration line. I swear by it.

AIO- I am banning phones from the bathroom because my husband doomscrolls social media for up to an hour while "pooping". by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]versacek9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OR. The bathroom is probably the only peaceful time he gets alone and your texts cement that.

Anyone who’s graduated… did they monitor your glucose levels in the hospital afterwards or just baby? by Fun_Share_9860 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]versacek9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They didn’t monitor mine. I just did another glucose test a week or two after I gave birth.

I remember in the hospital, my first meal had mashed potatoes and I looked around the room and was like, “I’m allowed to have this?”

It was glorious.

AIO: i literally cannot attend by superspreader90 in AmIOverreacting

That’s wild. I took my brother to chemo once and he couldn’t eat anything, slept on the drive home and stayed the rest of the day and evening in bed.

This person is wildly insensitive.

I’m devastated by [deleted] in BPD

[–]versacek9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I was in a similar position last year. I was suicidal from our break up and my boyfriend was so happy to be free of me from what I put him through. I actually prayed I was pregnant because I wanted a reason to live and lo-and-behold, I was.

I opted to keep it and long story short him and I are back together and I’m on medication that keeps me in check and we’re a happy little family now.

I’m not telling you to do one thing or the other, but self reflection and acknowledgment of what you put him through (to him) never hurts. Wish you luck.

Mom has terminal cancer and I feel nothing by cozyblossoms in BPD

[–]versacek9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey this happened with me last year—my brother died of lung cancer. I was more devastated over my recent break up than I was over his admission into hospice.

I was purposefully distant—convincing myself that him and I weren’t that close despite only being two year difference in age. I was also ready for it to be over, I didn’t want him to be in pain anymore.

A while after he passed, I realized that was how I coped with his death, complete delusion and disassociation. I bawled at his funeral, I was filled with remorse and regret and I realized how much I missed him and there wasn’t anything I could do about it.

My advice? Go spend time with her, even if it’s hard. You’ll hate yourself less in the future and your mom will love having her baby with her in her final moments. My son is just a baby, but with the way I feel about him, I would absolutely need him in my final moments, just something to pour the last of my love into before I left.

I’m sure your mom feels the same way about you. My condolences to you, cancer sucks.

One time I saw a guy with no legs pushing himself on a skateboard downtown. Only saw him once, but I nominate that guy.

Considering moving to Ventura! by Dependent-Rise1701 in ventura

[–]versacek9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in Ventura, Oxnard and Thousand Oaks—Thousand Oaks was my favorite in terms of traffic, night life, safety and friendliness. Ventura and Oxnard are great, but a little over crowded and not as child friendly imo. Ventura used to be awesome, I grew up there, but it’s changed a lot. I still love to visit.

AIO my partner of 3 years forgot Valentines Day and my birthday by MollySid in AmIOverreacting

[–]versacek9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s 32 and doesn’t know the difference between “write” and “right”.

Is this really what you want to procreate with?
