A woman shared how she never wanted to have children but after she got pregnant and gave birth to her son, she realised that she loves him more than anything in the world.

Here is the story

My birth control failed. I found out nearly at the end of the first trimester, too late to abort although I’m extremely pro-choice, there was no way that was even a consideration.

I never wanted kids because I was treated horribly as a child and feared I’d be no better than my parents.

I just welcomed my baby boy into the world yesterday evening. It was the most painful thing I’ve ever done in my life, it hurt worse than I could have ever imagined.

But…I’m in love.

When I look at him, nothing else matters. He’s perfect. I’m hoping to get my tubes tied soon, he is enough for us.

My family is complete. I cannot wait to give this little human the best life he deserves.

Good god, who knew you could love someone so much? I can’t fathom how my parents used to hit me. I look at him and I melt.

I could never lay a hand on him other than to soothe him. Bringing a child into this world is hard and not for everyone. I wouldn’t recommend it.

But if you do, just do right by them. Man, I love this kid. I haven’t slept in three days. Thanks for reading.

About 2 hours ago, me (m-30) and my wife (f-29) happily married for almost 3 years now. My wife and I were having a good time, our S life’s have improved recently (trying new things etc) however we both have fertility-related issues but actively trying to have our first child. I sometimes find it hard to finish (I had a test and my tadpole are all ok) and she’s going to see a gynaecologist next month to make sure all ok her side.

After we did the deed, my wife gets a text from our neighbour, that they can hear us going at it and this is not the first occasion they’ve heard, we are now both really embarrassed and have no idea how to play it out next time we see them. We do get one well (they are a couple about 3 years younger than us) so just thinking not to discuss it and just carry on as normal?

On the other hand, we have never heard either of our neighbours doing the deed. The other side has a young baby (about 2 months old) and as mentioned before our neighbours are a young couple. Assuming we have thin walls are they just not having good S or none at all?

Here are what netizens think:

• Your wife should’ve told them she wasn’t home

• ask them if they want to join.

• Reading this is so funny to me cause my upstairs neighbors just finished going at it, that and this post got me thinking, and this is the first I’ve ever heard someone in my building having a good time
• They confirm listening on you and your wife by sticking the ear on the wall

• I think they k-poh, or they never get enough thats why they talk like that.

A girl shared how wearing a mask makes her feel safe, not just from the coronavirus, but from creeps as well because it allows her to hide her face.

Here is the story

My mask makes me feel safe at work from more than just the virus.

I work in the service industry as a waitress. I hadn’t served in years but started again last year.

On multiple occasions I had people ask me to pull my mask down so “they could see my face” or ” see what I look like” “oh you have such pretty eyes I want to see your whole face”.

And it’s been so nice being able to just tell people no sorry, you can’t gawk at me, I’m wearing this for my own protection.

I feel like I’ve grown accustomed to having my mask on most as a way to hide from creepy people.

It seems to deter people from hitting on me since for all they know behind my mask may not be as pretty as they think.

When I worked as a waitress before, I feel like I got creeped on at least twice a week, now it never happens and it feels so nice!

I’m just having a crisis now because eventually one day, we won’t be required to wear masks anymore, and I really don’t want to stop wearing it.

It really makes me feel safe from more than just the virus.

This whole thing is so complicated and I don’t know where to begin, but all I’m going to say is that my husband’s mom and I have been on terrible terrible terms to the point of no contact between us. My husband respected my decision to go visit but said that he’s free to see his mom whenever and I agreed because…he’s her son and also…he’s a grown man so I won’t tell him where to go or who to see.

However, It’s a different game when it comes to my 4yo son. I don’t let him go with his dad to visit her and my husband was okay.

His mom fell sick recently and her health has been declining. for days he’s been convincing me to go see her and take our son with me but I refused and asked him to respect that. he said it was fine, but then turned around and said he’s planning on taking our son to see her. I gave him a hard no and he began fighting with me, he verbally lashed out saying that if I keep refusing to let him take our son to see his dying mom then he’ll take him behind my back.

I got so mad at him for saying this and warned him that I will call the Police if he tries to pull that off. He had a mental break down calling me vicious, pathetic and vile for stopping our son from seeing his dying grandma and then threatening him with the police for wanting to do the right thing.

I said him saying what he said was nowhere near ok, he responded by saying that I left him no choice and that he was reaching his limits with me. He had me leave the room after saying that he will no longer be putting up with my behaviour but I defended myself by telling him that his mom is no saint too and that it was unfair of him to treat me as the bad guy here and wear me down with his words. He said it’s between me and his mom…not her and our son. I walked out of the room and that was the last time we spoke.

I don’t think he was in the right to say what he said and I might have pushed him but I’m not sure since he keeps lashing out due to his mixed emotions and stress but he’s taking it out on me.

Might seem like not a huge deal but, Here’s some context.

I have been with my boyfriend 32y.o, for few months. Unlike him, I come from a well off background and last week I invited him out on an upscale restaurant for a dinner together.

We got there, sat down at our table and chatted for some time. He ordered some orange juice then asked the waitress to bring him 2 more straws besides the one he had with his juice. I was puzzled I asked if he was expecting one of his friends and he laughed and said “ohhh no…not after what they did to me last night” I was like ???? but watched to see what he was doing.

The waitress came back with the 2 straws then took our orders. The minute she walked away my boyfriend put the other 2 straws in his juice and basically started sipping with the 3 straws making an unbelievably absurd and annoying sound. I was floored I asked what he was doing and why. He nonchalantly smug smiled and said so he could drink faster.

I got mad and quite embarrassed cause people were literally side-eyeing me since I’m a regular. I told him to stop but he didn’t. I said that I’d leave if he wouldn’t and he made eye contact and kept sipping. I had it, I said I wasn’t going to continue to be humiliated any longer and grabbed my stuff and made my way out. He shouted for me to wait but I didn’t.

30 minutes later, he started rage texting me about how I overreacted and how I keep ruining good times worrying about what those “snobs” think.

Then talked about how ridiculous I was to walk out like that and repeatedly texted about how I should stop being a pretenious snob just because I hang around them which I found really really offensive. He ecpected me to apologize for “making a scene” and walking out like that over something so stupid and harmless.
