Someone just brought in a box of warm Krispy Kreme donuts and I'm trying desperately to stick to my diet. I said no, but it's killing me. It didn't help that some bag of dicks walked the box over to me and waved it in my face knowing I was trying to resist. He's such an ass.
I'm behind on this thread, but I never turn down free hot Krispy Kremes.
Ladies, you have to realize this is part of the grieving / leaving an abusive partner process. I have lost count of the number of people I have wanted to shake because they weren't listening or were dragging their feet and taking longer than I thought they should.
That's why I can't flame her. I can be tough and straightforward but flaming her for what is really typical in this process is just not something I can do.
Though I have admittedly given up on a few who just wouldn't listen at all.
OK, I have a slightly lighter confession. I thought about it recently because there are a lot of pregnants here at work.
I really enjoyed that really sugary drink they make you take for the glucose test. I remember being afraid to go take the test and drink the drink because of all of the things I had read here on TB about ladies getting sick from it, but I was pleasantly suprised. I had the orange one, so maybe the other flavors were gross?
--- It was 2 yrs ago for me but I remember preparing to hold my nose and chug. But then I tasted it and was thinking I could actually enjoy this over ice in a glass like a Sunkist soda.
It's not better for your kid to see you fighting and just existing with each other. Ask my So who doesn't want to get married and has some warped views on relationships and how to have heathy relationships. We've had to work very hard to have what we have now. He also asks his mom a lot why she stayed.
I'm about to go to Harry's to grab some lunch. I feel like I should get salad, but I'm also thinking that their 7 layer Mexican dip and chips is a perfectly acceptable lunch.

So much this.

My MIL hates going into messy houses. My confession is that I keep my house messy sometimes so she won't come over. DH and I both work full time, go to school full time, and the kids do sports. Sometimes the house doesn't get cleaned, so what!
You know what's disgusting? Abuse. People who use and abuse other people. People who manipulate and control and degrade and belittle and relentlessly berate others. It may be hard to understand why those subject to abuse won't just "up and leave" the very second they get a chance. But not doing so does not make them disgusting, regardless of how disgusting the actions taken against them have been.
This type of abuse (emotional, mental and verbal) is often the hardest for the abused to recognize and leave.
There are no marks, no one incident. It's a slow and continual drip of this and that which adds up to a total mind fuck. It's easier to forgive the abuser over because it's more justified by the abused's mind.
I get really shook when someone has a pic of a celeb as their avatar and then posts a pic of their real face. I'm like "no, you're Julia Roberts, stop."
I'm not really Bill Pullman as Lone Star.
-My son was born in April 2012. He pretty much rules.
That orange drink is fucking awful. Because I had GD in both pregnancies I had to drink it 5 times so far and will need to every other year for all eternity. The thought makes me want to vomit
It wasn't terrible the first time but I had to do the 3 hour test too and it sucked that time.

Look, this is a highly emotional trigger for @HilarityEnsued. Let's give her space to process her own emotions. Flaming her for her response as a child of an abusive situation is no better than flaming LRMM.
i have never put a condom. That's the dudes job. I don't even know if I'd really know how to accurately put one on.
Pinch the reservoir (lol), and roll it on down. No air bubbles.
I almost thought you were explaining how to stop queefing.
If you know how to stop queefing, please share. I generally know how to prevent them, but that has to be a joint-effort between you and you partner. IME, anyway.
Yeah, well, acting like my kid and I aren't SAFE is a little ridiculous. A sucky marriage=/=you're unsafe, your poor innocent child.
I know exactly what an unsafe situation is for a child, believe me, all too well. And I'd never do that to my kid. Her home life is fucking MILES from that place.
I am sorry that is how you are reading our concern. You need to dismiss HE's post as her own emotional projection and not lump it into the advice and concern we have given.
You can be in a bad situation where you are still physically safe. You can be in a bad situation where you have also been a less than perfect partner.
When we mention your daughter, it is more to pose the question that only you can answer...what is best for her and what situation is more stable.
Again, I am sorry if that comes across that we think you are screwing her up for life, that she is experiencing a bad home life or that you are in physical danger. I don't mean to speak for the group but the majority of us are not saying that at all.
I'm considering moving into the spare bedroom in our house once my visiting family leaves. I would look into an apartment, but there is no way I can afford that on a waitress/cook's paycheck.
LRRM: I hope you and your stbxh can continue to peacefully Co exist and Co parent your beautiful daughter.
I think it's natural to feel like giving things another shot when things are good. He has a LOT of work to do before you should think beyond just Co parenting. It's much easier to get along a few hours a week than to be partners.

I am a friendly graffiti frog. Possibly high on acid.
And you don't appreciate cheese snaps. I have you listed with your SN here with "No Cheese Snaps" next to it, so every time I read your name here now I think, "No Cheese Snaps"
No I want cheese snaps now!
LOL! Okay. Now all my cheeses will be snapped to you.

TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38 Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.

I've been putting off going to the bathroom for hours because I don't feel like getting up. Then every time I finally decide to go, the phone rings and the cycle resets.
I'm going to call APS on my POS cousin. Not because he's a POS, but that doesn't help.
SO and I started watching Weeds and I don't always change the channel if LO is in the room, if it's not anything super inappropriate.

I really am a German Shepherd. We are one of the most intelligent breeds so I taught myself how to type despite having no opposable thumb. Also, despite the fact that I am an altered male German Shepherd I still managed to get pregnant. I'm a medical marvel y'all.

Someone just judged a woman who bought a cart full of "shit food" with her SNAP card and then had the audacity to go get her nails done afterwards over on TTGP if anyone is playing bingo this morning.
