The post had the OP herself calling the baby black, so It's not really out of place to talk about the feasibility of genetics actually giving that kid entirely different traits than either parent.

If it matters to you, it matters to you, and it's obviously not some outlandish notion to want to know the kid you're raising is the product of your relationship and not an affair. I've offered to let my future potential offspring have the test done, it's not like I wouldn't know what the answer is going to be already. But that's just me. Some other women would find it insulting. You won't know unless you ask and it's better to ask before there are stakes.

new phone who dis posted:You are one of the lucky ones. For most people it's a waiting game, and surgery is usually a last resort. Yep, I was lucky. The country I live in has excellent healthcare, and my sister (who lives in the UK) had a much worse time with a similar issue. But your right, it is a waiting game, but until you go to see a doctor and get a professional opinion you don't really know what your options are. If nothing else, the biggest risk someone with a back injury has is that they don't know what physical activities do their back good (like Physiotherapy exercises or going for walks) and which ones carry a risk (like carrying heavy objects, or spending too long sitting in a chair). Going to see a doctor is a good way of getting that information. I put off seeing a doctor for a long time, and by the time I went I'd made matters much through my own ignorance and I ended up having surgery to fix it (I had a hernia in the lower area of my spine, I saw an MRI and it was huge).

Danaru posted:Me [22F] with my boyfriend [23M] of 6 years, do I have the right to be upset or am I being to sensitive? From what I gleaned, it boils down to the 2 guys going to see a different concert together (and not telling anyone) while OP and others go to the concert they "planned" for. Poorly worded and gave me a headache parsing it, but that's the gist anyhow. I'd say she's right to be upset, I'd be pretty miffed if someone bailed on a concert we planned and did it in some half-assed, passive way behind my back.

Massive wall of text so bolding parts. She also waffles on and repeats herself constantly so I've excised a few bits. I've been with my boyfriend for four months, but we haven't even kissed or held hands yet. quote:Me and my boyfriend have been together for four months, but we haven't even kissed or held hands yet. He's very awkward, so I'm afraid of making him feel uncomfortable, and I suspect that I'm his first proper girlfriend so I don't want to rush or pressurise him. I'm 24 and he's 19, and I feel like the age gap is very significant. I'm approaching the age where I'm looking for a proper adult relationship, but it feels like I'm dating a child sometimes. I thought that the age gap wouldn't be too much of an issue, but over time, his lack of experience has caused quite a few problems - both on a physical and emotional level, and I feel completely isolated and deprived of affection. I had no idea what I was getting myself in for, and now I feel trapped. I thought that things would improve if we were officially in a relationship, but we actually seem to be going backwards instead of forwards. I've never had to face this issue before, because literally every guy I've been with has been relatively forward and proactive about their physical or emotional interests in me, and I'm quite shy so I struggle with 'making moves' on people, especially if I have no idea if the other person even wants me to. His lack of experience means that I've deliberately taken things much slower than I usually would, but after four months, there's still not been any progression within any aspect of our relationship. I have no idea how to communicate my concerns, because he's already extremely sensitive and anxious, and the last thing I want to do is make him feel even more uncomfortable.  There is a happyish ending though. quote:UPDATE:

Like I said, there is absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever with dude feeling confused or skeptical of the child's paternity. While I would not doubt my partner in that situation and assume infidelity for literally no logical reason in his shoes, that's fine. It's understandable, though she did lay it out to him explicitly that her family's genetics are weird and he has zero basis for suspecting her of foul play. What is really loving crazy is how her boyfriend went nuclear and had a whiny exploding baby tantrum over it. Dude broke up with her, moved out, and ceased all contact for 3 days over some mere assumptions he had in his smelly garbage excuse for a brain. An mature, reasonable adult would be like "Hey, I really trust you and respect our awesome relationship, but I need a paternity test for our kid or else this isn't going to work for me." That's it.

I feel like if you strike the genetic lottery that well, most women won't be just mortally and utterly offended if you respectfully ask for a test, cause I imagine they are just as surprised and would want to prove it as well. If only so idiot friends, co-worker's comments, etc never poison the husband's thoughts.

Then you rest for 6-12 weeks while only mildly loading the area and are back to normal. I wouldn't go either unless it was a persistent thing that wasn't getting better.

They'll take an xray, maybe a bit more, and then do nothing or try to sell you drugs or crutches whether you need them or not. you know what really makes you look like an idiot? Doing nothing, staying in agony indefinitely, and alienating yourself from your loved ones because you refuse help and insist that treating the disabling condition that turns you into an rear end in a top hat with anything more than bedrest 'wastes money'

But dating a shy little babby 19 year old at 24 years old is pretty special... Keep in mind a lot of these women were emotionally abused by their parents growing up. From when they were toddlers it was pounded into their heads (and genitals  ) that they were too incompetent to trust their own judgement. These kind of women grow up with zero confidence because nobody gave them the agency to even have any.

Oh, I'm not saying I would ever doubt my partner in that dude's scenario because that is ridiculous when you're in a long-term committed relationship. Why bother having a child with your girlfriend if you can doubt her so easily based on what your nutty mom says or whatever? But on the other hand, I can also understand why the average dude would feel that way when their baby comes out with a different skin color, considering societal expectations and dumb masculinity.

He came from an affluent family and has a great job, and buys everything he wants whenever he wants it. I am lower income.
