@copa, they both said they were happy now, but it def wasn’t in their life plan. The guy said he and his wife loved to travel and now don’t as much with the kid. The woman and her husband do travel frequently with the kids still. She said she wouldn’t give it up and they haven’t.
The woman who was on the iud was vocal about how much she didn’t want children and was miserable through her entire pregnancy. She’s ok now. But damn. Yikes!
I know what I would do too… I too want to be double protected so I never have to actually make the choice.
So… the week prior to Thanksgiving, I was out of town with some coworkers prepping for a huge presentation. As these things go, we ate dinner together as everyone was in from out of town. One evening, I sat across from two coworkers, both married (not to each other), who never wanted kids and due to failed birth control efforts, had them. YIKES! One woman had an IUD and now was twins. WTF! The other, I can’t totally remember his story.
I’m on an IUD and now the husband is getting a vasectomy immediately in the new year.
Lolol. Seriously?
Let’s gather all the “whores” and burn them at the stake.
In truth, I feel that judgmental people who think like you do more harm to society than people who’ve had sex with a few people.
@jd, try it! I think it’s the best thing I’ve done for myself in the last few years.
@ver and @copa, so happy things are going so well for you!!!! I love the updates.
@theHizzy, same with the pillow depending on how I sleep. I didn’t do that while home for Thanksgiving and I could totally tell the difference. And I can’t stress enough how much pilates has helped. I still do privates so we can focus on my specific problems. Expensive? Yes! But so worth it in the long run.
I definitely need to add some of the at home exercises to help/strengthen.
@jd, you might want to try pilates because that helps more with your core whereas yoga is stretching. Don’t get me wrong, I like yoga, but strengthening your core muscles should help tremendously.Ooh, thanks for posting! I have lower back issues. I’ve been doing Pilates to help. And I’ve seen a PT. But I’m always looking for at home exercises.
I also find that sleeping with a pillow between my legs helps. As does icing it. And finally, a muscle relaxer never hurts.
MissD. Truth.
@copa… that was exactly a lot of it! Most of his friends had moved to the suburbs and had families and mine were all city dwellers. He rarely even saw his friends. I think you’d be totally fine to invite him to meet your family. He wouldn’t think anything of it.
@JD, I totally know what you mean about a good cry. Sometimes it just feels good. I oddly get my best cries on the subway or in the shower. Maybe watch a sappy movie to help the water works flow? Or mince a strong onion then just don’t stop?@copa, totally missed your update. That’s fun! If you read through the first few months of this thread, you’ll see that the husband and I went through something similar. He had met most of my friends and family and I hadn’t met hardly any of his. It bothered me. I finally talked to him about it (I think the words I used were “break down”). Two weeks later, he had me meeting everyone. Anyway, glad things are working out!
@jd, again I’m sorry! Sending you and your family good thoughts.I’m sorry JD. That sucks. Take care of yourself.
My sister was once addicted to NyQuil. No joke. She can no longer take it because of that.
