baby talk for talking to babies is an important part of child language acquisition. we don't do it for no reason, it helps introduce babies to simple syntax and pronunciation. when not talking to literal babies obviously yeah that's incredibly annoying case in point: My [24F] boyfriend [22M] baby talks at me a lot and it makes me feel like a dog. Am I in the wrong? quote:My boyfriend is a caring, wonderful human being and we've been together for about 8 months. Our relationship isn't perfect, but its always developing and improving despite some very rough twists and turns in our lives.

how is hitting up complete strangers to ask questions about their friend's relationship status less awkward than just asking the person out and maybe getting turned down?? jesus

What do you do when your husband tells you to “get a life” but him and your son are your life...?quote:My(26F) husband(29M) wants more alone time. Me and our toddler son want more quality family time. My husband views when he’s home or when we’re running errands as family time. I guess thats true and I totally get needing alone time. However, I’m always alone and never alone at the same time. I have a love/hate relationship with the dynamic in our house. I love being a stay at home mom but it’s literally all I do. Stay at home and watch Netflix, clean, and care for our toddler. He always has the car for work so aside from an occasional walk to the market or park, I am always stuck at home. We also aren’t from the area so I haven’t really gotten a chance to make friends. When my husband gets home from work he eats dinner with us and then wants to do what he wants to do(like video games). At this time of day I feel like I’m going to lose my mind. I don’t even know what to do with myself. I’ve already cleaned the whole house, done 20 toddler activities, watched 10 Netflix episodes. Like am I really supposed to just watch more Netflix??? By myself?? What am I even here for?  this poor woman

Also if the expiration date guy had just dumped his girlfriend when she cheated the son would have easily gotten over it by now but now as an 18 year old he has to deal with the realisation that his dad absolutely hates his mother and stayed with her for him, which I'm sure will not affect him at all. Dealing with huge betrayals by one of your parents as an adult due to actions they took to "protect" you as a child is absolutely not emotionally difficult, just ask me! This is standard depressing teenage relationship so I'm not including the body but it introduces a fun new modern term: I am [18F] struggling with instagram insecurity with my boyfriend [19M] of 10 months What do you guys think is better? Instacurity? Insta-insecurity? Metis of the Chat Thread fucked around with this message at 07:02 on Nov 17, 2019 |

AITA for banning everyone who critiques our parenting from meeting our son? quote:My wife has minor anxiety and ocd. She has been on meds for a long time, but had to go off them when she got pregnant. None of the pregnancy safe meds worked for her. Pregnancy was really tough for her, she spent a lot of time reading about what foods and activities and such could harm a fetus, and she was basically paralyzed by fear that she was hurting our son whenever she did anything. It was really rough for her and she hated being pregnant. She had a mental breakdown and confessed to me that she didn’t want to breastfeed, she was feeling violated by the pregnancy and wanted her body back and to go back on her meds, but she was worried that our son would be terribly harmed if she didn’t. I talked her out of breastfeeding because the pros were far outweighed by the cons and she clearly didn’t want to do it. Good husband and dad looking out for his wife. Extremely lovely family. People are just so obsessed with correcting every little detail about mothering!

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for wanting to cut off contact with a friend and the widow of a late friend because they're dating now? That's like ten months after the husband passed away so I dunno, that's fine. And not that surprising, really, if this guy is a longtime friend of the husband, so he was important to the two of them and so they can share that grief. How long do they think this woman should've been in mourning before she's allowed to date again?

guys this argument just isn't working for me, can we open the relationship to new topics? Open/poly relationship with my girlfriend(22) I am a guy (23) So I am a 23 year old guy , last night my girlfriend mentioned she is confused in life and is having an identity crisis. We have been together almost 2 years and still loves me very much. She told me last night she wanted to try stuff with girls, I'm not really into guys so I said I would gently caress another girl but now she saying if I gently caress a girl she should be able to gently caress a guy. I'm not sure how I feel about her having sex with another guy. I am the type of person who is always down for a group activity but she didnt seem to want that at the moment. If anyone can give an insight to this situation it would be appreicated. Tldr; complicated situation

noooo do not start up this argument again! here let me find something to try and distract you all I (26M) am uncomfortable with my partner's (23M) career goals (I don't want to go into details about what those career goals are so as to avoid debate about that instead...) My partner and I met at university, and we started living together as just friends after I graduated in the summer of 2018. He's still studying, while I am on disability benefits. I started to get a crush on him after we'd been living together a while, and we started dating this last summer (so about 5 months ago). His area of study and eventual career goals are related, and yes, they're something I knew about and was uncomfortable with before we got together, but at that time, I hadn't expected the relationship to get that serious. I realise the idea of casually dating someone you already live with may seem odd to some, but we're already pretty unconventional people, so we weren't too concerned. Now, though, we're really in love, and he's started including me when he talks about the future. In a lot of ways, I'd like to think about a future together, too... except. Except his future involves the aforementioned career goals. I don't want to be the life partner of someone in that career. When he talks about it, I withdraw and get sad. I don't mean to, I just don't know how to respond. I don't feel like I can bring it up because it's obviously not fair for me to want him to change something that he's been working towards since before we got together, but I also wish he wouldn't talk about his future in that career and me in the same sentence. I feel bad for not wanting to hear about a lot of his current work. I'm sure he'd be willing to avoid the subject around me if he knew, but it just doesn't seem like something he should have to do in a relationship! But I also don't wanna break it off, at least not now... any opportunity for him to actually join his dream career is still years off, and at the moment it only gets mentioned every now and then, and otherwise we're really happy. We get on, we agree about most other things and are comfortable with our disagreements on others, we enjoy a lot of the same things and support each other in those we don't, we have great chemistry... I just don't know what to do about this. Should I bring it up? I certainly wouldn't be doing so with any expectation for him to change his goals, that's obviously not my place, but does he have a right to know my feelings on the matter? TL;DR 5 month relationship with a housemate is getting more serious than originally expected, and now I don't know whether to bring up that I was never personally comfortable with my partner's long-term career goals what's the career

My Wife Dumped Me Because I’m Huge and Last Forever in Bedquote:After 26 years my wife kicked me out. She gave me many reasons, sex being one of them. Her biggest complaint: My penis is much too long and thick. It takes me over two hours to have reach climax, and I usually want it again right after. She used to tell me I should be a porn star, but she doesn’t seem to like my size and stamina anymore. Here’s my problem: I’ve been madly in love with her for over 26 years. When I fantasize, it’s about her. If I have a sexual dream, it’s always about her. I’m only sexually attracted to her. It wasn’t that way before I fell in love with her, but has been for over 26 years. She says she still loves me but has to be alone for now. I’m in my 50s, but women have always flirted with me, and that hasn’t changed. I have no interest in them. I don’t want to have relations with other women; I made lifelong vows. But it seems stupid to keep only fantasizing about a woman who doesn’t want me around. I try to incorporate other women into my fantasies, but my mind switches the images into my wife. She’s not even my wife anymore; I can’t quit calling her that. What should I do?

Well I've learned something today! I would also have thought it expected that you would know your parents' ages, but I guess different families are different! Deep down, though, we're all the same: we all demand a non-stop supply of weird people making deranged demands of their relatives. AITA for not wanting to wet nurse my 3 month old nephew? quote:The title isn't what it seems to begin with. My sister had tested out how he would do with a bottle, and she only tested it once, last month. He took it that one time. So I get to my moms and she's babysitting my 3 month old nephew. My sister decided to go to her husband's SpaceX holiday party 1 hour away from home. What I didn't know is that my mom and sister discussed between themselves that if he didn't take the bottle I would be there to nurse him if I had to. So time comes for him to eat, my mom gets his bottle ready, he isnt having it. She looks at me and says "poor baby, you should nurse your nephew." I replied with I'm not comfortable doing that. After that she continued to ask me to nurse him 4 more times each time me responding back with no. Also, I have a one month old who was born at 6 lbs so I felt that the milk I make is solely for my newborn. I felt I was getting guilt tripped and that I should've fed my nephew but also felt that it wasn't my responsibility. My sister chose to go to a holiday party instead of stay home and tend and care to her 3 month old. Sorry if this is all over the place, it's my first time posting and I'm still getting used to reddit. So AITA for not wanting to nurse my nephew? I really want to know if SpaceX birthday party is a theme, or a party at SpaceX offices. Metis of the Chat Thread fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Dec 15, 2019 |
