Gemischte Gefühle zum Mutterwerden; Austausch mit Müttern?

Ich bin jetzt 20 geworden, noch in der Uni und mein Freund will ganz sicher Kinder haben.

Das Problem: Ich habe extreme Angst vor der Geburt und keine Lust auf die Veränderungen.

So wie ich es jedes Mal gehört und verstanden habe, ist es einfach extrem viel Stress für die Frau vom Zeitpunkt an wo sie schwanger wird bis zum Zeitpunkt, wo das Kind 18 ist.

Frauen geben ihre komplette körperliche und seelische Freiheit auf, während der Mann nicht so viel dafür tun muss, dass er ein Kind bekommt. Für die Frauen heißt es, dass sie quasi ihr eigenes Leben aufgeben müssen.

Eine Geburt ist extrem schmerzhaft und birgt auch viele Risiken. Ich kenne auch diese Art Schmerz, wo du gerade weißt, dass du mittendrin bist und es wird gleich noch 1000 mal schlimmer aber du weißt nicht genau wann.

Ich war Vor 3 Jahren am Anfang und am Ende der Geburt meines kleinen Bruders dabei, meine Mutter lag so ca 30 Stunden lang in den Wehen und diese Schreie bei der Geburt werde ich nie wieder vergessen. Und da habe ich sehr große Angst vor und schlichtweg keine Lust drauf.

Wenn ich hier Beiträge von Müttern lese, oder aus meinem Umfeld Dinge mitkriege, dann sehe ich immer wie die Frau unter Dauerstress steht und der Mann nichts tut bzw. Keinen Bock hat. Die Frau kümmert sich dann Tag ein Tag aus und hat eine 7 Tage Woche, das ist heftig. Und Frauen machen das nicht immer locker flockig, sondern mit viel Überwindung und Stress. Es kann auch schön sein, aber es ist hauptsächlich Stress, so wie ich das mitbekomme.

Und die Frau muss leider auch gezwungenermaßen immer mehr als 50 % des Stresses auf sich nehmen, der Mann nicht. Alleine dass der Körper sich so verändert nach der Geburt macht mir wirklich Angst, und dass ich finanziell abhängig sein werde von meinem Mann weil ich nicht arbeiten gehen kann. Das ganze Geld, was in ein Kind rein fließt ist echt viel.

Und mir gefällt der Gedanke auch einfach nicht, dass der Mann diesen Stress einfach nicht hat und trotzdem das Privileg bekommt, Vater zu sein, obwohl er nicht mal annähernd so viel dafür tut, wie die Frau oder auch einfach nicht so viel dafür tun muss. Das einzige, was er tun muss, ist arbeiten gehen und das würde er auch machen, ohne, dass er Vater wäre. Aber der ganze eigentliche Stress hängt immer bei der Frau. Ich erinnere mich auch kaum an meinen Vater in meiner Kindheit, wenn ich jetzt mal so darüber nachdenke. Den Großteil meiner Kindheit habe ich wirklich mit meiner Mutter in Erinnerung.

Ich glaube, mein Freund würde mir sehr viel helfen und würde allgemein auch eine sehr gute Vaterrolle übernehmen. Aber trotzdem gefällt mir dieser Gedanke einfach nicht, dass die Frau immer mehr tun muss und der Mann einfach nicht, weil ich es hasse, wenn Männer weniger Arbeit haben als die Frau was leider auch im Alltag schon sehr oft der Fall ist.

Mein Freund will früh Kinder am besten schon wenn ich mit meinem Master fertig bin. Ich habe ihm aber auch gesagt ich will nicht so früh, ich will erstmal arbeiten, reisen und mein Leben mit viel Geld genießen. Darüber möchte er erst reden wenn es soweit ist, aber meine Meinung bleibt bestehen.

Ich will eigentlich Kinder, aber ich weiß nicht, ob ich das nur will weil alle Kinder haben. Ich fände es aber irgendwie schon schön mit so einem süßen Mädchen oder Jungen welchem man ein schönes Leben schenken kann.

Ich habe aber leider Endometriose und Adenomyose, möglicherweise ist meine Gebärmutter nicht mehr in der Lage dazu ein Kind aufzunehmen, deshalb habe ich mit meinem Freund auch schon darüber gesprochen, zu adoptieren oder eine Leihmutter zu bezahlen. Das wäre für mich perfekt, die ganzen Aspekte der körperlichen Anstrengung fallen weg wenn du ab 2-3 adoptierst. Diese Themen sind aber nicht durchdiskutiert und müssen nochmal hoch geholt werden.

Was ist eure Erfahrung mit diesen ganzen Themen?

TLDR; Ich habe einfach Angst davor, anhängig zu sein bzw. Mein Leben zu ruinieren, Angst vor der Geburt und den ganzen Veränderungen. Außerdem mache ich mir Sorgen um das Geld.

I 20f still like my boyfriend 22m but I don't know if I still love him.

I First noticed when I realised I don't want to have Sex with him anymore and I'm not sexually aroused by Him, even if he is a really attractive guy in my eyes I just don't feel the need or want to have sex with him. I talked to him about it and he said it's okay, we occasionally have sex, not often but like once a week or every two weeks. I only enjoy the sexual acts when we are in it for at least 30 minutes.

I think that's weird because I was a pretty hypersexual person and boy-crazy before I met him.

I also don't want to make out with him or kiss him sensually and passionately (anymore) but I do feel comfortable with him and safe and he is a sweet person.

Sometimes I think he's weird and his jokes are unfunny. I also tell him that.

We spend a lot of time together and I get annoyed at small things he does, even if there is no reason to and I feel bad about it because he is a really sweet and loving person.

I just like giving him cute kisses or pecks, hugging him and cuddling with him, and spending time with him in general, cooking together watching movies going on dates etc. but it's like my need for sexual intimacy has just completely gone away over the last 3 months. Sometimes I even feel weird with him hugging me from behind and being lovey-dovey. I just enjoy his presence, he is a good person and very loving.

We have been together for about 8 months now. What do you think?

Best study tips for adhd? :(

I have adhd, I just can't study and I really need some new methods so I don't feel the need to do something else every 5 minutes.

I can't study effectively more than 5 minutes without immediately wanting to do something rewarding like getting on the phone (I don't use my phone while studying) or eating or just moving around and I hate it. It's like my brain is blocking itself from studying.

What do you do to study effectively? Any methods or things you do to get you brain to say "I like this"? Any advice is welcome no matter how weird it is. Sometimes I let AI make movies about topics I have to study.

Ich habe schon einen MRT Termin aber wodurch kommt sowas überhaupt? Muss ich mir jetzt Sorgen machen dass mein Gelenk rausspringen könnte oder so

Libido weg nach 6 Monaten Beziehung

Leute es ist katastrophal.

TLDR; ich weiß nicht, ob es mein Problem ist oder ob mein Freund mich abturnt.

Ich war bis vor ein paar Monaten eine extrem sexuelle Person, als mein Freund (23m) und ich (19f) angefangen haben Sex zu haben hatten wir fast jeden Tag Sex. Mittlerweile habe ich gar keine Lust mehr auf Sex. Nicht nur mit ihm, allgemein.

Ich weiß nicht ob es an ihm liegt aber auch "alleine" habe ich oft keine Lust mehr. Er hat einen sehr attraktiven Körper, trainiert und muskulös aber nicht zu viel. Trotzdem empfinde ich keine sexuelle Anziehung mehr. Ich nehme seit so drei Wochen jetzt eine Endometriosepille aber daran kann es glaube ich nicht liegen weil es vorher schon angefangen hat.

Manchmal ist mein Freund nervig und versucht lustig zu sein usw. Was mir zeigt, dass er sich sehr wohl fühlt bei mir und ich finde es auch nicht schlimm oder so, aber vielleicht nimmt mir das ja meine Lust nach ihm. Ich brauche im Bett eher jemanden, bei dem ich mich sicher und wohl fühlen kann und wenn er sich so verhält geht das nicht so gut, weil es halt ein bestimmtes Bild von ihm in meinem Kopf fördert und das ist für mich ein "Abturn". Aber er ist Mega lieb und fürsorglich und ich kann mir trotzdem eine Zukunft mit ihm vorstellen. Über das alles habe ich auch schon mit ihm gesprochen.

Woran denkt ihr könnte sowas noch liegen?

I don't know how to save my [19f] relationship with my [22m] boyfriend

I really need some advice. Please read it and write your thoughts. This is a mess because I just wrote everything that came to my mind

TLDR; I feel like he doesn't want to put any effort into our relationship, ignores my needs and still wants me to be a happy and good girlfriend.

My boyfriend 22m an me 19f have been in a relationship for about 8 months now. We used to spend a lot of time together, it has reduced slightly because of our everyday routines but we try to at least sleep together as often as we can. Almost everyday and it is really nice waking up next to him and cuddling each other to sleep.

But atm it's not more than that.
My birthday's coming up this weekend and I have told him that doing something for your partner on such days is really Important to me after he showed up with empty hands, nothing planned on Valentine's Day.

We are pretty different on a deep base, such as likings (I like clothes, jewlery, flowers, kinda a consuming kind of person) and he is really ambitious and doesn't like expensive stuff or brands, and spending money in general.

At the beginning of our relationship we had an expensive dinner for about 100€ for us both and I thought that was really nice to have sometimes not every day or every week, but probably a nice date once every month. Not just cuddling at home. We didn't go out like this for half a year. Rarely any dates or flowers, or gestures that tell me he loves me. Two weeks ago he got me a thoughtful gift which made me really happy. But everytime we go on a date, which is not often, I had to tell him that I wanted to go on a date. Evefytimw I got flowers I told him I wanted flowers. I feel like It's no act from him but from myself to me.

I have told him several times that I need to be loved that way to feel loved, because I don't feel valued if someone doesn't put any effort into me. Now he planned something for my birthday and I was so so happy about it that it had me smiling the rest of the day. I wish he would do this without me always having to tell him.

As I have said already, I adressed that to him multiple times and also addressing other stuff that kinda bothers me, like for example him still being sexual or making sexual jokes even if I say "I'm not in the mood for this" and that is a thing that bothers me A LOT. He says "okay then I'm not gonna be sexual at all"

We have different kind of love languages and some different values, the thing connecting us is sports and a healthy lifestyle. He is also not good at communicating and doesn't talk about his feelings, which also bothers me a lot because I am the kind of person to immediately tell him if I feel bad about something, no matter if he did or I did.

I have told him several times that I need to be loved that way to feel loved, because I don't feel valued if someone doesn't put any effort into me.

His love language is more like "I want to be close to you and feel loved and love for you" and for me it's also this but more of "I need you wanting to make me happy"

Now I am starting to get bothered by small things, and not just not going on dates. I told him that yesterday, and he told me "why are you so focused on the small things? You need to see the bigger picture" and I told him I understand he thinks that way, but I don't think that these are small things. For me a relationship means effort and showing your significant other that you love them with gifts, dates, thoughtful things. Not just cuddling every night, even if it's nice.

I always ask him if he has things he wants to address, but he rarely has anything bothering him. I always make sure he feels free to talk about things with me. When things get hard and I need emotional support he's there for me and comforts me. Anytime I need him. But I really want this effort in actively making me happy.

I want to be accepted about the way I feel like I need to be loved and he gives me the feeling that I'm too much. I really want to make it work.

Am I too focused on myself? Is this selfish? I don't know what to do.

How do you raise a good child?

I mean being ambitious, kind-hearted, polite and confident. From age 0-12, after that puberty hits anyway.

A lot of children nowadays are rude, cry if they don't get what they want (a toy or parents phone f.e) or just don't know how to behave in private or public at all. Some feel entitled to others.

I mean children are children.

But sometimes, I see children with such a polite and positive energy, that are extroverted and curious and smart and I'm asking myself "what did the parents do?"

Do you think different parenting has a big impact on the future of a relationship?

Tldr; we have had different parenting and I don't know if we can work it out.

My boyfriend 21/M and I 19/F have been together for a little over 6 months now.

We don't fight often because we communicate. He values my opinions, helps me with anything and always tries to be a good boyfriend. Other way around the same. We both feel secure and loved. So our relationship is pretty good so far and I think and hope it will last with our effort.

But there is something that worries me, and I am scared it will have an impact on our relationship: We had different parenting.

I come from a wealthy family and I grew up with a different attitude towards life than he did. My family wasn't always wealthy, but most of my life. I do value a lot of things in life and at most more than others do, but it's hard not taking specific things for granted if you grew up with them your whole life, and I don't mean always getting the newest phone or a car, I can't even name these things because as I am told, it just "lies in the attitude of rich people". I am also not as disciplined as he or his whole family is and my attitude towards life is more easy-going or slack in comparison to what his parents have taught him, because I could always do whatever I want whenever I want and did not suffer any consequences. So I naturally grew up thinking "I can do anything I want" even when I know now that I can't. And that is a big issue I think.

His family didn't have a lot of money with him growing up I think, but now they have enough money to buy a nice house and always have lots of food at home. His parents are very disciplined and for them, there is no room for mistakes whatsoever. They made sure their kids get that pov too. His dad recently started to get annoyed at me, at things I do and told my bf something like "she's lazy, undisciplined and her attitude towards life is ignorant. Why not choose someone better?" And that had me thinking. His dad thinks I will "erase his potential" in some way if we stay together and that he will become "undisciplined" like me. With the laziness he means taking painkillers when I'm in pain because one doesn't have to take them and they're bad for you (I have endometriosis and literally end up in the hospital when not taking them) or because I'm on my phone a lot. I have about 2-5 hours of screentime a day, varies a lot.

To give you a better understanding of my lifestyle: I major biomedicine, I do sports at least 3 times a week and meanwhile I work part time. I have worked hard for the life I have and I am happy, and he tells me I'm lazy for taking painkillers or asking my boyfriend to eat up the plate if I'm too full for finishing it because "it's a rich persons lifestyle". I think that's rude but I can't change his view on me.

Personally I think what your parents have taught you is a part of your identity, even if it is having "no discipline" and be "ungrateful" for me. I am happy with how I am because I know that I'm a good person. I didn't choose my parenting, so it's not my fault. I can just try to be a better person for both of us, which I already do but I could never be as disciplined as he is because I just didn't learn it that way. Childhood shapes you.

Even tho I am scared this will have a big impact on our relationship in the future, he tells me we can work it out because he does value discipline but it doesn't have to be my top-priority. I mean my personality isn't just "no discipline and lazy" but it could still affect us long term.

What do you think?

I do ace in other fields, my personality isn't just "no discipline and lazy" but it could still affect us long term I think.
