I F25 and my boyfriend M30 we’ve been off and on for about five years, nothing bad that broke us up just distance and we both aren’t good with calling and texting. We recently moved back into the same town unexpectedly and have started dating again. We’ve been together this time for about 4 months.

We had both talked about never having children, mostly because I couldn’t physically do so after an abdominal surgery. But I had always said how much I’d like to be someday. Someday came sooner than I expected. I found out I was pregnant. We had literally had sex once since we had gotten back together and boom baby town. Because I wasn’t able to carry to full term without complications, or so I thought, I went to my primary doctor and she informed me that my previous doctor was mistaken, and I was able to carry full term with very minor if any complications.

I was ELATED! I’d wanted to be a mom since I was a kid, I am the oldest of all my siblings and truly enjoyed taking care of them… but I put it out of my mind because I thought it wasn’t possible. I told my boyfriend then about the pregnancy and about the truly real possibility that we could be parents. He did not have the same reaction, he didn’t smile, he wasn’t excited…. He wanted to get the abortion… and I was so devastated. I told him that I wouldn’t want to do this without him involved because it wouldn’t be fair to the child to not be wanted by a a parent. He decided he did not want to be a parent, so we went through with the procedure.

Afterwards, in the weeks following, he was not there for me. I was sitting in HIS house without any food because he didn’t bother to go shopping. I had no way of going back to my house because he convinced me to leave my car at my place for the duration and that he would be there if I needed anything. He decided to just go snowboarding, and was gone for 4 hours after he told me he would be home.

I was sitting in pain, crying, devastated and he was just not there. I resent him for that choice, for his decision. I resent myself for not thinking I could do it alone. And I resent myself for going through with it, for believing that he would be there for me afterwards. Now he wants to say that he regrets the decision he made and the choices after but I can’t seem to get over it. Everyone I’m around him I just get mad, and resentful and I just don’t know if I can ever look at him the same or be around him without feeling anger.

What do I do ? Do I leave him? Do I just give it time ? I’m lost and angry.

Hi guys, I do have an update for everyone. I wanted to start by thanking everyone for the very kind comments and encouraging messages. I really appreciate everyone who took the time to read this post and give thoughtful advice.

I also wanted to address all of the photos on my hinge profile and instagram are from the past 8 months. None of my old photos from when I was thinner are present on either platform. However, I do feel these photos are more flattering angels of myself.

Now onto the update. An hour after my intitula post he did see and reply to my message. I got super nervous and took some time to calm my nerves before opening and replying. To my absolute delight it was very thoughtful and kind message.

“Op. You were considering waiting and making excuses not to meet???

You’re beyond fine. I appreciate the vulnerability, but you didn’t need to say all of this. However, since you did I’ll say this back. Wherever you’re at is fine! You’re beautiful, and there’s no need to worry. I’m not worried one way or another. Lifestyle, chemistry, and compatibility are what’s important to me when looking at who I’m interested in seeing… not if they’re some arbitrary societal standard of weight or beauty.

If there’s anything I can do to ease that worry, let me know.”

We ended up talking until about 4 in the morning and I’m happy to say that we will be meeting when he is back in the beginning of June.

Thank you so much again! I will maybe give another update in the future here soon.

He is 28 and I’m 25, our 6 year anniversary is next month. He’s the only person i’ve ever dated so we’ve kinda been reevaluating the relationship over the last few months, but our sex life has always been good. He likes when i give head under the covers bc he can’t see what’s going on. There’s a couple times i’ve seen him put his phone down as i come up, but he’s like “oh i was just checking something”. We recently got a new sheet set and the top sheet is kinda see through.

Last night I initiated, and through the blanket I saw him pick up his phone and start scrolling. I kept going until it was clear he was not just checking something and was obviously getting closer, then i reached up real fast and grabbed his phone. I can’t navigate his dumb google phone that well, so i didn’t see anything before he snatched it back. I tried to be playful/sexy about it but he wouldn’t tell me what he was looking at, was super defensive of his phone, and slept with it under his pillow which he doesn’t usually. We share passwords and have never had a reason to guard phones, so i don’t think i’m jumping to conclusions. I know he watches p*** sometimes, but not when im literally right there??? I thought he liked the blanket for the mystery, but he’s looking at someone else?? I don’t have any reason to think he has a p*** addiction, and he’s told me i’m better at giving head than his past partners. IDEK how to approach this or what to say when I get home from work. Have any of you ever experienced this?

... I really think theres no better time for the community to rally together and finally convince brennan and Co. to work on a Solace/Aguefort Sourcebook.

I know the idea was floated ages ago to brennan in an interview already, and he said that the only missing components are time and money. But i cannot imagine a world where an Aguefort campaign setting wouldnt be funded on eg. Kickstarter within minutes/hours. But it would definetly be funded! That does leave the time issue, but come on guys, pretty please?!

Personally Fantasy high is my absolute favourite Dimension20 universe (although Starstruck odyssey is a close second) and i would kill to get my hands on a supplement that would clear some of the hurdles of me running a campaign in the setting myself.

All in all, i adored season 3 so much, the cast and crew did such an amazing job, and I hope we see The adventuring academy make a return for senior year.

After all... Chungledown is still out there...

Fair warning, my post discusses birth trauma. I (35f) got pregnant with our daughter after infertility. My (35m) husband and I were overjoyed.

Labor and delivery was rough. My water broke, and I developed an infection, fever, and labor did not progress. I labored for over 24 hours. Then, I pushed for a total of 4.5 hours. When she began to struggle, we made the decision to use forceps. I was delirious from exhaustion. They used the forceps to get her head out, and then her shoulder got stuck. Eventually she made her way into the world. After far too long, her eyes popped open and she took a breath.

I was partially paralyzed because I damaged my femoral nerve pushing for too long. It was a very rough and scary delivery.

We had agreed that we wouldn't post our daughter on social media. My FIL announced our daughter's birth on Facebook anyways, before my all of family knew. I told my husband to tell his dad to take it down. He called and sheepishly said something like I wasn't ready to share her photos yet. After asking my husband to clarify that NO pictures of our baby were ever to be posted, he refused. I snapped and asked if I needed to call and advocate for our daughter since he wouldn't. I called my FIL and explained the boundary we had set. He was extremely apologetic, and even followed up with an email later expressing how sorry he was.

My husband yelled that I shouldn't have called his dad. I explained that our daughter was literally hours old, and my mom didn't even know yet. His response was "well you don't even talk to your mom, so what does it matter?"

After the dust settled, my husband fell asleep. Soon, multiple of his phone alarms started to go off for almost half an hour. After yelling his name a few times, he still wasn't waking up. I yelled his name again, and he finally woke up. He yelled that I needed to be nicer to him. At that point, I did snap at him. I told him I was exhausted, in pain, paralyzed, and was the only one caring for our daughter. I'll admit that I raised my voice. I told him to get out so I could breathe for a minute. He went to the nurses, and told them I was mentally unstable. The nurses came to check on me, told me they knew I wasn't unstable, and asked if I wanted him escorted out by security. I said no. I needed somebody to tell him that I had just given birth, and didn't need to be yelled at.

I've asked him multiple times to apologize for yelling at me, and admit that I didn't deserve that. He won't. He says I was acting unstable, and deserved to be yelled at.

I have never been able to get past this. Our marriage (for a multitude of other reasons) has fallen apart. With a divorce looming, I am trying to see where I could have been a better partner. Should I have let it go? AITA for asking him to acknowledge that he hurt me after giving birth to our daughter? Of all the name calling and yelling that's happened since then, this event bothers me the most.

let me start by saying i never watched this guys “calmedy” or “pawldcast” or whatever he has done. my only exposure to this guy is this subreddit randomly popping up in my reddit feed and you know what, you hooked me, B! i can’t stand how much this guy blatantly lies about his experiences in life and stories with people he’s med or never meddum and NO ONE calls him out on it, why? also why the fuck does he act like he’s holding up a C every time he talks about anything?! even THAT bugs the hell out of me! also what’s with the “iivry” instead of actually saying every? does he feel like saying words differently makes him more interesting? dude spray paints some baseballs and acts like we are supposed to fuckin hang it on our fridge like some kindergarten art project he brought home? i just don’t know wtf is going on here. ggs though guys, this sub has made me absolutely not be able to stand this guy. don’t even know if this post will get deleted or is allowed, i just didn’t know where else to rant.
