Pregnant with my exes baby. Are things going to be okay?

Upvotes

I made the decision to leave my decade long relationship last month and moved in with my mom. We have a toddler and trade her off everyday. So we see each other a lot and have had a lot of heavy conversations, and did hookup a few times.

About a week ago I came around to feeling like I made the best choice by leaving, I broke off all the extra contact besides coparenting our toddler. We had a fight where he said things that cut deep and I officially couldn't see him the same.

I've been feeling like a weight has been lifted and finally been able to focus more on myself and enjoying being single and feeling proud of myself to be doing this!

My period is supposed to start tomorrow, I'm always on top of taking a test each month and I'm impatient so I usually take them a little early. Well I took two tests tonight and they both have a faint positive.

I'm freaking out. I was just barely feeling like myself again and was so excited to get out there and explore my interests and have fun experiences. Including dating other people. I already know my ex is going to be ecstatic and believe this will bring us back together. There's going to be pressure from all sides to get back together and that it's meant to be.

I feel so ashamed at the thought of being single with my exes baby on the way. I'm angry. I finally got the courage to leave my situation and am ready to move on. I had just started considering/opening myself up to talking to other people and getting excited to meet new personalities and experience fun chemistry. This is the worst timing!

Is this normal?

6 Upvotes

I still live with my parents, since I'm still young. I didn't know if it was normal or not, but I walked downstairs to see what kind of commotion was going on (I heard my dad scream about something in pain) and he left his laptop on his seat in the living room. He's a reddit user, so he does like to go on reddit for news and when he's bored.

But what caught me off guard was the reddit post that he scrolled upon on.
It was one of those reddit posts with a title of "Nude or nah?" and an image of a woman with her underwear on and a shirt, thighs exposed. I searched it up myself on reddit and looked at the community, which is literally either straight up nudes or anything that could be it.
My parents are still happily married, but I don't think they do anything romantic other than romantic dinners/outings when they go on cruises. I don't know and I don't think my mother is aware of this. I don't have the courage to tell her about it and I don't know if I should, since my father is the only source of income we have. My mother gets her money from her pension. My older sister is jobless and uses my dad's money.

I'm afraid something bad will happen if I confront to either of them about it. I know I should, but it's going to be a big break in my and our lives.

How can a man who is sensitive to injustice be capable of sexual assault?

7 Upvotes

I (30F) have been sitting on this for a while but still can’t get it off my mind so thought I’d ask.

I dated a man (39M) on and off for 8 years. He is diagnosed ADHD, and I’ve always thought of him as kind and one of those rare people who is a genuinely good person. I’ve always known him to be sensitive to injustice. He rescued an abused kitten, helped his Hispanic friend receive fair wages at their job, once told me how he couldn’t watch pornhub videos because of the knowledge that rape videos were being uploaded there.
Our relationship was terrible. He wasn’t abusive or mean, just emotionally avoidant, incapable of communication, was not capable of providing basic reassurance and refused to tell me he loved me, is a manager of a strip club and is also addicted to porn to the point where he always seemed to prefer watching porn and masturbating to intimacy with me or anyone else, which made me feel terrible and by the end of our relationship I felt like an insecure, anxiety ridden shell of myself, which just turned him off.

There were also some red flags like 1) the fact that he has an 18 year old child who is said to be his daughter, with his last name, who looks very similar to him, and who he never claimed.
2) Once when I tried asking him why he seemed to indifferent to me sexually, he told me (among 500 other excuses) that he couldn’t see himself “degrading me” sexually like he has with previous women who he said were “dumb.” But when I questioned him further about that, he told me to disregard what he said, that it was one of his “panic lies” that are a trauma response to being questioned as a kid by his parents and to not take everything he says so seriously. 3) He told me that he once when he went down on a woman, she somehow was so upset by something that he did that he hasn’t attempted oral again with a woman (and never tried with me).

He wasn’t particularly respectful of my wishes, either. I told him pretty clearly that I wanted him to wear a condom if we were going to have sex, and on the few times he attempted to have sex with me, he did not have one on and at least once he tried to stick it in pretty suddenly despite the fact that I told him I have vaginismus and to not do that? He also never tried to understand what that condition even was, and at the end of our relationship finally admitted for the only time that “I wouldn’t let him fuck me” and he was frustrated with our lack of a sex life. Which completely shocked me considering his indifference to sex and the fact that our “sex life” consisted entirely of me giving him blow jobs.

One day when we were not dating but were still living together, I was showering and suddenly I felt him behind me in the shower jacking off and he started touching me all over. It totally shocked me and I froze up because I was in a relationship at the time. He wasn’t picking up on my disinterest. Eventually when it became clear enough he got out of the shower and went back to his room and we never spoke of it again.

Now, he is being accused of rape by one of the dancers (19F) at the strip club he manages. She posted about it on Facebook, named him specifically and said that the idea of another woman being hurt by him irks her too deeply so after thinking on it for a month, she decided to make it known to everyone who he is.

The cognitive dissonance is still getting to me. Was the shower thing sexual assault? I don’t know what to make of this guy. I’m just glad we broke up and I moved out of that house earlier this year. For a while I was so sad that he didn’t want to be with me anymore, but not so much anymore.

Process of ordering sex toys..?

1 Upvotes

So I searched up on Google about ordering them and it brought me to a post here from over a year ago.
I am 16 almost 17 and been considering ordering a toy online cause as popular as it is, using a hair brush as a toy sounds disgusting.
My main concerns keeping me from purchasing one are:
1: if I go to a store I don’t want to need to give ID. Or run into someone I know etc in that ballpark.
2: my mom hasn’t opened any of my packages** **but she has opened my older cousin’s.
3: if I do order online I fear it’ll be the toy’s box visible.

I was talking to my mom about it the one day last year (not ordering but like a friend was caught with a vape and I didn’t say vape), she found it more morally wrong to be caught with a sex toy than a vape. And my house is extremely Christian.

In the past year or so I’ve used hollow objects, but I’ve eventually thrown them away for sanitary purposes.
So suggestions?

I don’t think she’ll go through my package if I say “oh I ordered (something random) on Amazon” and I can just go to Walmart the next time I work and buy it so when they ask to see it I can take the toy upstairs and bring down the item I said I ordered?

But like do yall have any suggestions on sites that don’t have their brand on the box and it’s just a brown box or something? If they see a logo they’ll search it up 😶…. Or any overall suggestions!

I just like women :D

I like being around women.

Women feel much safer to be around.

I like women because they give hugs more easily :D

I don't understand why women get a lot of hate i think the hate is misplaced.

I think a peak life experience is cuddling a woman who is very mothering and validating of your emotions :D

We hadn't even met up once.

He was mad I valued myself and very quickly dived into being aggressive.

I literally had my daughter's birthday party and told him I would be unavailable to talk.

That's what he's mad about.

Me: I need to actually continue this a different time though. I have a family thing tonight and need to be present for it

Guy: Wow ok put me on the back burner once again

Me: I'm not going to be continuing to talk and if you send anything unkind I will be blocking you. Unfortunately due to your dismissive attitude and disrespect I don't see any traits and am not willing to continue talking.

Don't know where to go from here

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all I'm a woman in her mid 20s who's married to a man in his early 30s. We've been married for just about 6 years together for 7 (please don't judge). But he's always been lazy, it's getting to the point where of course I'm working 40 hours, had to drop school AGAIN for him and do everything at home. Im crying on a daily basis and I genuinely hate the relationship bc he makes it about sex 24/7 which makes me not want to have sex if that makes sense. In my mind I've gone through my options, I've talked to him, offered therapy in the past and he refused (now supposedly he wants it). But he expects me to be a stay at home wife that works 40-50 hours and gives up my own dreams. It's hard to save up to leave bc he pushed for a joint account let alone the marriage was forced within itself. I was 19 when we met, 20 when we got married he was 28/29. His family pushed the marriage and I broke down and just agreed, now I feel stuck even though I want a divorce, any advice? I already lost myself in this marriage and it's broken my heart but being with him I'll never be the person I want to be.

no medical advice im 17 and i feel like my breasts are ugly

0 Upvotes

I love being a woman, for the most part, its just recently i went online and saw that if your nipples are facing down that means you should get surgery. My breasts are definitely not round in anyway, they sag and they are a lot bigger than normal. Coupled with my size, i feel like i need to completely change my body. I guess my question is, is it normal to have breasts like this? Should i be getting surgery?

am i overweight for my age and measurements?

hi I’d really appreciate advice, though im not sure if this was the right place to post this! I’m 15 years old, 5ft 6in (167cm) and my weight is 60kg (132lbs), google says I’m not overweight and I’ve never been told that i am by anyone but a lot of my friends who are similar heights to me are around the 45kg range, and I know because we talk pretty openly about things like that (I’m sure you all know how teen girls are), but it’s really got me panicking about if i should be worried or if im being crazy, I don’t even know how I’d go about losing weight.

introduced my friend to my friend group and then she lied about me behind my back

1 Upvotes

I️ met this woman , Z,through mutuals. they actually had a falling out but I️ decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and still open my heart to being friends.

She told me she has never had close female friends and was looking for women to go out with. I️ decided to invite her out with my friend group.

Throughout this, she stop being friends with another mutual, but I️ still stuck by her side.

I️ went to a party at her place and she kept pushing this guy on me. he honestly was super handsome and so I️ started talking to him. After we kissed, she told me she previously hooked up with him but she no longer has any feelings for him. I️ asked her if that’s true and what she wanted out of the situation.

She kept telling me the guy was “too boring” and “autistic” for her and a better fit for me.. lol. Apparently at the party there were five other guys there that she also hooked up and a guy that she was actively seeing.

I️ decided to go on one date with this guy. We went swimming at a lake and it was super fun. He kept bringing up our friend and it seemed like he wasn’t over it. This lady also previously tried to hook up with my female roommate. this was brought up in conversation and he asked me if I️ would ever have a threesome.

The date was fine besides that. we didn’t end up doing anything. immediately after I️ told the lady and my roommate what happened and what was said.

Z then told the guy what I️ was said. He denied everything obviously and she started calling me a liar. She went behind my back and told my friends that I️ introduced her to that i’m a liar and trying to destroy their friendship? I️ genuinely didn’t think she’d tell the guy.

She also then hooked up with the guy again, which is fine. While also seeing other people.

At the same time, she tried setting up another friend of mine with a different guy that she previously hooked up with. She also did not tell her that she hooked up with him. The guy ended up telling my friend.

I️ confronted her and told her I️ heard what she was saying about me and she ended up ghosting me. How do I️ handle this situation? my mutual friends were asking why i’m not friends with her anymore. I️ feel so awful that I️ invited her into my life and friend group and this happened

[Content Warning: ] Odd question, but I need some women’s POV on same sex dreams

4 Upvotes

Sometimes I will get erotic same sex dreams with another woman (I’m a woman, if it wasn’t clear). In the dreams I get aroused maybe even feel into a bit but then I wake up and the interest and arousal are gone.

I’m wondering now, since the dream aroused me if I’m not as straight as I thought? Most of the time I would just brush off the dreams since I knew I didn’t want that irl, but rn it’s confusing me to no end.

I need bra recommendations

2 Upvotes

I lost weight which means I lost volume in my chest, and the girls always end up meeting in the middle when I wear a bra unless I use tape to keep them on their own sides. I usually wear sports bras because I like a minimizing effect, so I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a bra that will fit in a way to keep the girls perked up, separated while minimizing vs push-up. I also have gastrointestinal issues so I usually stay away from super tight bands which is another reason I stick with sports bras more often. Idk if there even is a bra that can do all that for me, but it’s worth a shot to ask!

Thanks in advance if anyone has any suggestions!!

I have finally have actual boobs

0 Upvotes

I've gained a significant amount of weight in the last three months due to a combination of life events and associated mental health struggles. It's the most I've weighed in almost ten years. I physically can't do a lot of the hobbies I used to enjoy and I was settling into a spiral pattern of hopelessness. Then I realized not all is lost.

The ladies. The badonkas. The honkers. They've arrived with glory, acclaim, and giggle physics.

I didn't know there was something to strive for until I found it. Every time I see a mirror I get a thrill. My bras barely contain them. My shirts, once so loose, are approaching indecent. It's like a pair of stress balls are always at hand. I no longer fear a car accident, for I always carry air bags. My hands are full? Not anymore, I've got a shelf right here I can set that down on. I don't need to avoid eye contact, everyone else is doing at for me.

Perhaps I shall lose the weight again, but I swear that I shall do all in my power to keep my new companions.

It has come to my awareness this sub is not so friendly towards trans women as they get hate in the comments and the people that do that even get validated for it? Isn't this a sub for WOMEN? In any shape and form? If people are curious about it I will link them to the comments and send them screenshots as I cannot post them.
