Reply to Husband(30m) doesn't want me to go to see my parents(25f) by GOKU2442

You go see your family and have a great time.

And while you’re there, make an appointment with a divorce attorney, so that you can find out what you need to do to get away from the controlling, childish, emotionally manipulative man that you married. He sounds just as toxic as his family.

You also make an appointment with a good therapist, so that you have support, and can figure out why you would even consider canceling your trip when your husband had his temper tantrum. He won’t get better without actual help from a professional.

Divorce him and have a great life without him. You’re too young to be dealing with such behavior for the rest of your life.

Reply to LPT Request: Any tips to help deal with working a night shift? by Just_a_dick_online

Unless you’re already a night owl, you’ll be tired either way at first. Working third shift, I tended to go to sleep soon after getting home in the morning, and then had the afternoon and evening open to do things after I woke up.

If you are going to go to sleep right away, make sure to wear sunglasses on the drive home to trick yourself into thinking that it’s still dark so that you can sleep. (At least that worked for me.)

It sounds like you might want to adjust to be more of a full day sleeper. Perhaps try to get to bed by 10am or so, depending upon how long it takes you to get to sleep, how long you typically sleep, and how much time you need before work to eat and get ready. Congratulations on the new job!

Reply to [31M][29F] My boyfriend and I have been dating for 3 months and I just found out that I’m pregnant. by RichQuackery

I haven’t experienced it, so my advice would be to make the decision as if you’ll be a single mother or not, then talk to him about your decision.

Your relationship is new. If it doesn’t work out and you are then a single mother, would that be okay for your life?

If you have an abortion and the relationship ends, will you regret having it?

He may be amazing, and y’all might end up married with more kids down the line. Whether or not you start a family now, your opinions are the most important above anyone’s right now. Speak with a couples therapist if that could help. I wish you well.
