I love "The egg" it's in a short story collection that I return to frequently...and I'm always trying to get people to read it ❤️🕊️✌️
Super Neat! — I found out about the Gateway Tapes/Monroe about 3 weeks ago. I have read most of the links and information on this sub reddit, watched some of the Youtube videos and started listening to the audio b…
What is my (35M) role in my parents (69F)(80M) dispute about chickens — I bought a large property with my elderly parents. I have a house in the back half of the lot and they live up in the front house. Since we have a few acres I thought it would be fun to get a few chic…
A Tale of Two Easters — **Hers** I woke up with a migraine and threw up as quietly as I could with the fan on so the boys wouldn’t hear, wouldn’t worry, wouldn’t have one more thing to carry. I brushed my teeth to …
My 25f partner 24m doesn’t put any effort into any holidays or events or anything special. Is that normal? — Post is as it reads. We have a 2 year old daughter together. Her birthday recently passed and I spent hours baking her cake, finding decorations and gifts from eBay (she’s into some older tv shows so …
Sadness over holidays — Today was Easter. My festivities were in the morning as I had to work in the evening. I should have been enjoying my time with my family. There was a quiet moment before the egg hunt, and I was just …
i hate my life so much and i don't know what to do — i'm in my senior year of highschool and i just hate myself and my life so much what the hell am i doing. i'm a horrible student. half my grades are b's. i'm painfully average and i study most of the …
Freeze eggs and or embryos with the sperm. 35 is young. I froze a ton of eggs at your age. I just had a surprise baby at 43f and I plan on using the eggs for more children
It might be time to cut contact. My daughter's second Easter was my breaking point. It was the first year she could egg hunt, so I went out of my way to travel 3 hours and arrange it so both sides of …
Nope. I only regret I didn't do it sooner, with the egg donor. With the sperm donor, logistics, finances and trauma have kept me a bit more tied, but no or low contact has always been the dream. I'm f…
Hey! This is the very best birthday present ever. I’m almost twice your age—believe me—learn, grow, move on. The not listening, the eggshells, the silent treatment (!!), the punishment—unless you want…
Have you heard of the thing about ovaries& generational trauma ?? “When someone experiences significant trauma, their brain signals the Superior Ovarian Nerve and other intrinsic neurons to release …
I just don’t understand it, “we weren’t trying!!” if you’re finishing inside of a woman without any form of birth control, you actually ARE trying. the eggs are going to be fertilized anyways regardle…
This is difficult to answer with the two choices presented. It may not be a Stoic answer, but to reframe, I would need the past mistakes to exist in order to fully experience the highs. Both are nece…
Girl, these a rich people problems! 😂 I can't give you no help but good luck with all that though... Ummm, of you need another baby ( better make it quick, I'm in perimenopause), I'm available for t…
That's very hard. I'm on the opposite end of things right now. My partner and I were together for three incredible months, and then at the beginning of the year she began to drift away hard. She init…
Yes. The egg donor was more "overtly" abusive in the sense of being physical and visibly neglectful towards me, even in public at times. I always knew the sperm donor had a temper and could be reall…
She always blamed me for being a "problem child" for not being able to sleep through the night by myself up until I was around 10. The reason? I was (still am, of course) terrified of the dark, while …
As someone who experienced quite a few extreme events in my personal life and during my service -I was an infantry conscripted at the age of 18- I learned to accept the fact that life is not linear ne…
Yeah. First of all it's just healthy to go out regularly, sun, fresh air, "exercise".If you can be in nature even more so, a 30 minute walk a day where you just chill and look at nice stuff is just go…
Can you provide a link to The Egg anime?
if you meditate for long enough your bound to have realizations that are both positive and negative. i had a experience a few months after my dad died that i saw a egg above my head, and a light shine…
Breath, you are now safe. The egg and sperm donor have been exposed. Hopefully there will be consequences for them both. Be well
She's 31. She needs to start having kids soon *anyway*. By 35 its considered geriatric and each year after the quality of the eggs and chances of getting pregnant decrease while the chances of pregnan…
Lollllll either way I’ve bent my spoons all sorts of ways. Chicken or the egg, either way I’m eating
Pantry moths. They are the worst moth. The eggs can come in on or in any bag of flour. Took a while to fully evict them. (Store everything in airtight containers now) And also your cousin clothing mo…
Also just to left you know PIA sex can get women pregnant too. Sperms travels. I know someone with a 6 year old who got pregnant from anal and that was the birth control method so they never used the …
Dude it's wild, sometimes I don't realize something was that bad until I tell someone else and they're like "whoaaa that's fucked up". And then I'm like "oh right...I was originally calibrated to surv…
OP said in other comments that the baby is biologically for her wife. They used her egg & OP is the parent who isn't biologically related. Not that it makes a difference, they are married so legally …
That's what OP said, but yes. The egg was from her wife.
Translated to English for the community : # "I saw a metal egg transform into a bird. Put like that, it sounds rather strange, but let me tell you. I was 8 years old, and I was on a swing in …
My immediate family likes to try to get together, but 95% of the time a fight happens. It's sad because I just want to see my nephew who I adore. We didn't see them today, because my sister in law (…
Reddit treats any discussion of penis sizes like you're disarming a fucking bomb, the eggshells are fragile around here esp compared to any other feature or characteristic that a person could feel ins…
"what we've allowed ourselves to become" Have we? To what extent is the individual responsible for a system that grinds their time and energy to nothing? Am I responsible for the factory ships that d…
i had a real mixed bag. i was the scapegoat and golden child whenever it suited her to be nice (i am an only child from her side & it was literally just me/her in the house - yikes) but this does make…
My last relationship taught me that loving someone genuinely doesn’t protect you from being lied to, from someone who had a loose relationship with what was mine and from being gaslit. That someone ca…
Nothing from the egg donor. The sperm donor alternated between "guys only want one thing!" and "never give a guy money or tell him how much you got!"
Thank you for that perspective, truly. I think maybe I’ve been in denial about the eggshell thing? I’ve been practicing being mindful of what he’s able to give day to day and maybe I let that pour ove…
Your children have been feeling the eggshells too and now think that’s a normal way to live. Please show them the difference by giving them a happy, calm home. You all deserve it!
It’s tough love time. (1) No, of fucking course all men aren’t like this. Jesus Christ. It’s scary that you even have to ask. I suspect you already know the answer. (2) Your husband sucks. (3) It s…
Same, I often get caught up between the chicken or the egg conundrum... Was i born like this and predisposed to being extra sensitive to the neglect, thus making it doubly harmful ...or was I nurt…
The fact that you stayed with him after the eggs is crazy. You can’t make him stop the only person you can stop is you. YOU stop suffermaxxing.
He literally poisoned you. He has issues that are not yours to fix, and it sounds like he has no interest in working on them. You should not be with someone who would hurt you like that, who would get…
This man sounds MISERABLE!! Like I started to get depression just reading your post. He honestly needs therapy asap and probably some meds. There is no way he wants to spend the rest of his lif…
I guess I'll have to go to the sperm donors funeral, since I'm probably the only one who can organise it. I'm stuck living with him for financial reasons but working hard on getting out. I hope to g…
100% fake. Not only is the taste and smell of rotten eggs so overpowering that she wouldn't have been able to swallow the food but after 5 months the eggs would have either exploded from the gas bui…
Not really. They didnt teach me but they didnt really mock me. I'm 21 and until last year I didnt know how to do laundry. When I was young my mother didnt teach me and when I wanted to learn or help …
I share your situation for the last 16 years and hope to change it (move) in a few years. I've tried: * burning frankincecence and it helps but smoking other people's rooms and private spaces can bac…
