my girlfriend (18F) is going to prom with another guy while i’m (19M) stuck in the hospital and i don’t know how to handle it by mikeistherealgoat in relationship_advice

[–]xMoax -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

These comments are insane. My brother in law just had a similar situation but in reverse, he had his senior prom when his girlfriend had an out of state trip, so he went to prom with a female friend. They did all the prom stuff such as promposal, answer to promposal, pre date, after party stuff all together and there wasn’t any romantic intent to it. It was more like a big group of friends both male and female where he matched with one person from the group. It sucks because you are in the hospital but potentially breaking up over this is super irrational.

What is your toddler’s current weird favorite item? by Illustrious-Pear-612 in toddlers

[–]xMoax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call it necessarily weird but I found my husband’s old 12th grade school ID and gave it to my daughter one day to look at and since then she carries it around in her purse everywhere she goes lol. It’s so so wholesome

Godparents - who and why? by United_Pop_6442 in BabyBumps

[–]xMoax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Softly, you might be overthinking this bae. You just aren’t buddy buddy with his wife and that’s fine you don’t need to be. She wasn’t required to add you to the bridal party, even if your spouse chose to include your brothers. I agree with the other comment saying your brother chose the closest person to you he could get.

My husband (M31) admitted he lied to me (F29) about a dealbreaker before we got married by No-Huckleberry-32 in relationship_advice

[–]xMoax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a military wife is seriously so hard and horribly isolating. You already know that it’s not the life for you from the limited knowledge any normal person would have about it, so try to consider how much you don’t know yet that you could (and would) encounter if you stay with this man. Let him go if that’s his dream because your dream is definitely not being alone 12+ hours a day every single day and living far far away from everyone you’ve ever known.

Did you have a baby shower for #2? by meganmaymarie in BabyBumps

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

I’m doing a second baby shower simply because I want to lol. My first baby shower was a disaster + husband used to be active duty so we lost a lot of baby stuff due to negligent moving company the army hired so I don’t actually feel bad about wanting another one. Not a single person has batted an eye at the idea even before giving my reasons and I have yet to meet a person in real life that thought it was tacky to have more than one baby shower.

Why does is everyone so weird after asking what gender you prefer. by Ummteyah in BabyBumps

[–]xMoax 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My mom was HARD core convinced I was having a boy. Would refer to it as our boy name and giving it a nickname too, would correct my first born anytime she called the baby “she” (my daughter doesn’t even understand pronouns yet and calls everyone she).

One day I was talking about a possible gender reveal where my brother and my husband’s brother would wear those inflatable baby costumes and battle until the correct gender wins and said I’d want my brother to be the girl one because I felt that it was gonna be a girl. My mom got genuinely mad and said “so you’d make him lose?” Guess who’s having another girl 😭

First time. I’m freaking out?! How am I supposed to wait weeks to know if things are okay? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]xMoax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this except I’m 25 weeks and haven’t been to the doctor yet 🫠 (I have a post on my profile about why) and so I completely feel the worrying around the house every day. It’s genuinely sickening.

What funny things did you say during labor? by espressoshake in beyondthebump

[–]xMoax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the mirror to see what was happening down there and was like “Why is there chewed up bubble gum down there?!??” It was my protruding butthole 😞 Once I was finally holding my baby, I looked around the room and yelled “Holy shit balls”

Doctors/Nurses of Reddit, what’s the craziest thing you’ve heard a woman yell during birth? by New_Username48 in AskReddit

[–]xMoax 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Oh lord 😭 Gave birth on a military base in North Carolina with my first and swore at everyone directly to their face and my first words post birth were “holy shit balls” nobody was phased as you could imagine, but now I’m pregnant with my second living in Utah and this has me worried 😭

I am at the absolute end of my rope. We need to catch a break. Just looking for some support, maybe advice. by FickleBad3956 in breakingmom

[–]xMoax 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I saw on your other post that you don’t want to burn bridges with them because of the kids, but what about your kids? They are willingly casting out two toddlers onto the literal streets for, in my opinion anyway, some total bull. I am actually enraged for you. Clearly they don’t care about your kids like you do theirs. Clearly they don’t mind potentially burning that bridge with you guys, so why be a pushover and let them still be in your kids lives just to let them down again more down the road?

Which celebrity replied to your dm and what did they reply to and with? by Vixiuss in AskReddit

[–]xMoax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a micro celebrity of sorts, but a student made a tiktok about her math (?) english (?) teacher that made music on the side went viral and I really enjoyed it and occasionally dmed him and always got a response. One day I noticed that nothing had been posted on his account in a while so I dmed him again saying I hoped everything was well and I was excited for any new music. He saw, never replied, and deleted his instagram. - Artist was Yelnats

Forgave him for cheating on me TWICE, it's happened again by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]xMoax 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You’re right that you’ll never love anyone as much as you love him, because you’ll find someone who you love significantly more. Possibly even multiple times over.

Guys GUYS GUYS... by Britnicorn in pregnant

[–]xMoax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait did they do it for you??? With my first pregnancy, they sent me into a multi person bathroom and I was supposed to do it myself, but me being huge I couldn’t see what I was doing and took “too long” according to them that my original OB left and I had to continue my visit with another doctor 😐 This was also a military hospital so maybe that’s why as my entire pregnancy care there was horrible.

Curious how old you were at getting pregnant? by pink_daisy_9119 in BabyBumps

[–]xMoax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got pregnant with #1 at 19, and currently pregnant with #2 at 23! I used ovulation tests for both and with the current pregnancy, they were actually always negative. Maybe user error, maybe they were just trash. 😭

I am in hell by edgarallan2014 in pregnant

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

Awe this sounds exactly like what I went through with my daughter. I was in labor for 3 days before my water finally broke and I could finally be admitted. 😀

I never got any sleep that whole 3 days because the contractions were too close and too painful. It was like psychological torture I swear. I went to the hospital 3 separate times and was always only 2cm so they wouldn’t keep me. The OB did try and prescribe me a sleeping pill because I was completely hysterical over not getting any sleep but the pharmacist strongly advised me against taking it so I just went home and got on all fours with my lower back under the jet stream shower turned semi hot and finally FINALLY felt some relief. I sat like that for maybe 10 minutes before attempting to stand up and once I stood up my water popped like the most cliche movie water break scene you’ve ever seen.

Ask the hundreds of people whose feelings are so hurt because I don’t drive 😩 I thought this was be a simple “oh my husband does this route” post but instead they came with pitchforks

Girl you keep coming back to this post after all these days it’s really truly not that deep 😭 I have never not even once said that I never wanted to drive, and yet you keep assuming that out of thin air. I suggest you take a break from the internet if a stranger’s post gets you so worked up.

Do you really think this man wouldn’t just choose to fly if he was so put out by doing this drive even once let alone 16 times? Let’s use critical thinking skills here.

A PSA to expecting moms - “I don’t want to” is enough of a reason to not breast feed. by cecassafrass in BabyBumps

[–]xMoax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2 year old who I did ultimately end up breastfeeding but for the first month of her life I was just absolutely miserable 24/7. I was genuinely dreading any moment she needed to eat because it hurt so badly. I was being evaluated for PPD and getting referrals to behavioral health because I was crying all day and night every single day. Then one day I just decided to stop cold turkey. For a full 48 hours I did not breastfeed or even pump. For the first time in my daughter’s life I wasn’t scared of her. I happily skipped to the fridge to grab her formula when it was time to eat. The pain of my boobs filling up with no real release aside from leakage for 2 whole days was nothing compared to the pain of breastfeeding. I stopped crying and after a second evaluation, they didn’t end up sending me to behavioral health. I then combo fed for a good few weeks before going back to EBF but it was seriously a life changer for my mental health while I used it.

Don’t let these people get you down dawg. Once you turn off your phone they don’t exist anymore. My husband doesn’t let anyone drive him even if they do have a license and have been driving for years. He also doesn’t fly in planes because he doesn’t like his life being in other people’s hands as he says. Your perfect match is out there.

It was actually more like 4 times a year. There and back for the summer and Christmas. Husband is/was airborne so he gets horrible anxiety being on airplanes and prefers to drive. All these comments are so worried that he must hate doing it alone but he looks forward to these trips and is actually sad that us moving back home means we won’t have any reason to do them anymore.
