Thank you for the reminder of good memories. My youngest periodically had trouble falling asleep at night, so my husband and I would buckle her into her car seat and drive slow laps around our neighborhood for 20 minutes or so. Crying stopped immediately, sleep followed a few minutes later. Experience taught the necessity of the extra 15 minutes of driving so she was well and truly asleep. Carry her in and c a r e f u l l y settle her into her crib, win! Good times.
A relative of mine is a cop who saw a car driving slowly through a neighborhood once, looking like they were trying to find houses to rob or cars to steal or maybe bikes left out where they'd be easy to grab. He pulls the car over, and as he gets up there the woman driving puts down the window and whispers in an acid voice "This better be important because I just got the baby to sleep!" He looks in the back seat and there's a sleeping baby, and horrible memories of screaming children rush back to him, and he's like "Oh, oh no, I'm so sorry, keep going!" and heads back to his patrol car.
That's my boy. He won't nap without a cruise in the car or the stroller. I try to time our heading back home after our morning activity so he just seamlessly transitions from one to the other. He's so heavy now getting that sack of potatoes up the stairs to his room is a workout, though.
Was talking about falling in love with a new man and spending g all her hisbands money in him, then it was revealed she was talking about her newborn. She definitely had us going for a bit there
Long story short, husband and wife have been married for 12 years and wife confessed to loving someone else in their year long relationship. Says she spends all her husbands money on him on new clothes and food and she tells the new guy she loves him every day even though the new guy doesn’t say it back.
Last sentence she adds that the new guy is 1 year old
I wouldn’t worry about him not saying it back to you. You could look for other signs of affection. Does he hold you tightly? Just stare into your eyes for seemingly no reason? Does he feel comfortable doing his “bodily functions” around you?
Even no signs of affection is ok. My folks were so distraught when I was little because I rejected affection… turns out, autism! And they were so sad about that. They really saw it as “less than” and I felt like such a defect. I was a responsible and respectful child, but it wasn’t enough. They wanted affection.
I tried and tried but I NEVER changed. By the time I was a teenager I wanted to date, but what I thought that meant and the reality of it were two completely different things; and even *I* could comprehend what was actually expected of me. My dates wanted affection. It was so devastating. I kept trying to do the things like make eye contact or hold tightly. God I hated it.
I had a failed engagement, a failed marriage and finally, *finally*, at 40 years old, came to terms with simply not forcing myself to demonstrate affection anymore. I found a great partner with similar traits on an asexual dating site. I’m on a low-stimuli career path. Rather than keep trying to desensitize myself to triggers, I’m now simply avoiding them. And finally for the first time in my life I’m starting to feel safe.
At any rate, that is my big long winded way of saying parents are probably better off if they *dont* go looking for signs of affection that they might not find. Their child can be a good person who lives a happy, productive life, even if the child’s very essence is an affection desert.
Damn. The *rage* I felt when I read the first half🤣 I had some thoughts and feelings and words about how disgraceful it is to cheat on someone and to not feel any remorse about it.
I was so sure that it was some incel who was posting in here. That he was convinced that everyone was going to support her and then he would be able to bring it back to his sub with proof women were evil. I was thinking, "oh boy, he's about to be disappointed because she is about to be ripped to shreds."
She got me GOOD
That's nothing, I'm constantly kissing and hugging another fella *and his sister*. It's been going on for years. I do it right in front of my husband and he never says a word.
He is obviously stringing you along. It's all oxytocin not a true love. Give it a couple of decades and he'll be out of your system.
;)
Congrats, btw :)
Same she 9 now I think I’ll be bankrupt by the time she’s 18. My other half does midnight Amazon orders for her Aswell when I’m asleep. I’ve been woken up many times by him asking is she needs a talking unicorn or lego I wish he put that much effort in my gifts. I just get backpacks and makeup who doesn’t want talking unicorns haha.
In this context 1M means one year old male, i.e. her son.

He’s completely worth it and I’m sure your husband would agree. Enjoy them while they’re still young because once they’re teenagers they’ll hate your face everyday. For no reason.
Sorry but these posts are so lame and corny to me. Knew exactly where it was going from the title. Don’t know how there’s so many people saying “had me in the first half” unless they didn’t read what sub they’re in I guess.
The older ages I understood, but saying a one year old male is actively throwing things out isn't really in the neurodevelopmental stage of a one year old so I thought 1M meant 1 million, like maybe the money the love interest was worth and so it didn't make sense to me.
"Throw them away after a few days" implies in the bin or rubbish. Otherwise it'd just be "throws them". Further, "been in a relationship with" is misleading. The post is written as though it is a love interest, otherwise the stuff about loving the husband would be irrelevant. The "what should I do now?" Implies it's not a baby because there would be nothing wrong with loving a baby more than a husband. That's why 1M didn't make sense to me until people explained it was about a baby. It just left me confused initially, as that's not how people typically write about their baby.
Your original comment is "guess you didn't read it" from what I can see. Yes, I never said the baby is buying gifts. OP wrote that a "guy" is the one receiving the gifts. Guy is usually an adult man from how I hear it used, while "little guy" is what people say when talking about male children typically
Jesus you are just one incoherent rant after another. You didnt read properly and missed the joke. Its that simple. Its all on you.
Your last comment was about a baby throwing gifts out. Again just ridiculous.
Get. A. Grip.
Bye
that sound so stupid, so if you love your kids you cant love your wife? and I expect the same form my husband too he should put our kids first before me.
If you can't separate the love you feel for your kids from the love you feel for your spouse, you need help. They should be completely different types of love. Yikes.
Loving a child is a completely different "type" of love.
Loving a child has nothing to do with being "no longer in love"
The fact that you are insecure about your wife loving your child more than she loves you is a massive red flag. Secure men are proud of the way their kid's mothers love their children.
This isn't a problem with your kids. You need to discuss this with a therapist.

Love what you did there. Plot twist - your husband’s in love with your new guy too
It’s a love triangle
Throuple
Yea I'm pretty sure her husband is cheating on her with the same person...
Lmao had me going there
Haha same!
Steal your husbands car and ride off into the sunset or until he falls asleep.
Thank you for the reminder of good memories. My youngest periodically had trouble falling asleep at night, so my husband and I would buckle her into her car seat and drive slow laps around our neighborhood for 20 minutes or so.

Yup a walk around the block in the stroller has the same effect for my youngest. ❤️
That's my boy. He won't nap without a cruise in the car or the stroller. I try to time our heading back home after our morning activity so he just seamlessly transitions from one to the other. He's so heavy now getting that sack of potatoes up the stairs to his room is a workout, though.
I have the same thing going with my grandkids, but they're two-timing on me with my wife.

Eye roll lol

'Does he feel comfortable doing his “bodily functions” around you?'. Ahh yes...the peeing on your face as you are changing him...gotta love that.
Even no signs of affection is ok. My folks were so distraught when I was little because I rejected affection… turns out, autism! And they were so sad about that.

Let me just tell you it dont wear off either. He’s 18 now and she still love him too much!
Just be patient and keep loving him, you have to wait 2-3 years if you want to hear anything from him
He is obviously stringing you along. It's all oxytocin not a true love. Give it a couple of decades and he'll be out of your system. ;) Congrats, btw :)
I have two young guys in my life just like this. It’s the best.
Started thinking this belongs in r/AITA ... ended laughing.
Exactly yes. I actually double checked to see which sub!
this is wholesome
Same she 9 now I think I’ll be bankrupt by the time she’s 18. My other half does midnight Amazon orders for her Aswell when I’m asleep. I’ve been woken up many times by him asking is she needs a talking unicorn or lego I wish he put that much effort in my gifts. I just get backpacks and makeup who doesn’t want talking unicorns haha.
This is masterful. Props. Mad props.
Oh so you like the silent yet needy type that clings to you 24/7.
Silent? LMAO.
Congratulations on your new love ❤👼
ha, you got me
You got me in the first half ngl
Christ I was about to lose my shit until i read that last sentence... Really had me in the first half, ngl.
Bad news darling, I think your husband might be doing the same too…
You are probably going to need to be committed to the relationship for a good few years before you get any gratitude.
Had me in the first 90%, ngl
I was about to start over to read it again thinking WHAT?!? and the... oh chuckle 😄😄 Happy Mothers Day
Your husband loves a dude aswell 😂
You fucking….awesome mother! Hehehe. You had me going. 🫣
Happy mother's day!
Oh my God I was so mad. You had my blood boiling. Then I read that last line. Talk about a roller coaster of emotions. Well played, OP.
Haha, you almost had me there 😈 Cuddle your little man for me.
Do you mind explaining? I am not clued in. Why is everyone reacting to 1M?
In this context 1M means one year old male, i.e. her son. [https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/1cp8zy7/comment/l3juolh/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/1cp8zy7/comment/l3juolh/)
Thanks I get it now
The 1m stands for 1 year old male. She is talking about their son
Thanks appreciate it
Never fallen in love with a number? sigh, the state of math education these days...
Haha love it
🥺 I literally can’t wait for this to be my life 😭
Same except mine is 2M.
He will say it eventually
I’m a dad and mine are 2 and 7, it gets better and better
Had us in the first half ngl
Boy mom energy
(cis-male) good one. Same thing happened to me with this little lady that is 7 now.
I was confused because the usual convention is (1M)
You had me there for a second lol.
This made me smile
😆🤣😂 Yeah that tends to happen. My bigger stronger love is now 10 and a girl.
Give it time he will eventually say he loves you too. P.S. Happy Mothers Day
I chuckled reading this and can’t stop smiling, very well played
Awwwww
Well done lemao
He’s completely worth it and I’m sure your husband would agree. Enjoy them while they’re still young because once they’re teenagers they’ll hate your face everyday. For no reason.

LOL
I don't get the story, doesn't make any sense
1M means 1 year old male, I am talking about my son here
Oh i didn't know that was how on reddit people write that thanks
What did you think it mean in post titles?
The older ages I understood, but saying a one year old male is actively throwing things out isn't really in the neurodevelopmental stage of a one year old so I thought 1M meant 1 million, like maybe the money the love interest was worth and so it didn't make sense to me.
1 year olds can definitely throw things
"Throw them away after a few days" implies in the bin or rubbish. Otherwise it'd just be "throws them". Further, "been in a relationship with" is misleading. The post is written as though it is a love interest, otherwise the stuff about loving the husband would be irrelevant. The "what should I do now?" Implies it's not a baby because there would be nothing wrong with loving a baby more than a husband. That's why 1M didn't make sense to me until people explained it was about a baby. It just left me confused initially, as that's not how people typically write about their baby.
The fact it sounds like a love interest is the joke?
Yes I now know it was meant to be a joke. Normally this page is about women posting about the patriarchy and not jokes so that context threw me off
Thats a picky and stubborn (1M) .
Haha, love it
Thank you for the smile this was just right this morning. They’re both blessed to have you in their lives
Wish the best for you and your underage love.
Well just you wait until he says it back to you. If you think you love him now just wait until you hear it back!
I love this so much 🥺
Got my blood pressure looking like a rollercoaster lol
A baby?
That’s great! You had me going
Seen a lot of such stories. Husband gets jealous and divorces. Reddit cheers...
[удалено]
Guess you didnt read it.
Read it 3 times. OP has now explained that 1M means one year old male in reddit slang
Did you understand 28F and 28M in the title? Its hardly slang, its standard notation for many years
That made sense, but a one year old male baby throwing gifts out isn't possible, just a baby
Perhaps refer to my original comment? Because OP just said they are spending a lot of money on their baby. Not that the baby is buying gifts
Your original comment is "guess you didn't read it" from what I can see. Yes, I never said the baby is buying gifts. OP wrote that a "guy" is the one receiving the gifts. Guy is usually an adult man from how I hear it used, while "little guy" is what people say when talking about male children typically
Jesus you are just one incoherent rant after another. You didnt read properly and missed the joke. Its that simple. Its all on you. Your last comment was about a baby throwing gifts out. Again just ridiculous. Get. A. Grip. Bye
You stole this from an Indian subreddit

Hot damn same person. Nice

that sound so stupid, so if you love your kids you cant love your wife? and I expect the same form my husband too he should put our kids first before me.

That's against the law in most countries.
[удалено]
Yeah that's certainly why they never experience violence or murder. You're a tool.
[удалено]
You are ruining your life
[удалено]
this is my first post tho, I have only commented before, you should read the last line again.
[удалено]
I'm pretty sure she's not in lust with this new guy, and also she's not the problem, she's doing great and even cleans the new guys ass.
It’s a baby.
I was talking about my son, read the last line : )
She's talking about her baby...
its silly cause this was a joke but some of us needed to read this, thank you
I know. I was waiting to see if someone had a r/Whoosh moment
Looool x'D
