NEVER have a man's baby out of wedlock

So my BIL (brother in law), golden boy narcissist, is coupled up with a woman who he has impregnated twice without a RING. She is currently pregnant with their second child. No ring. No engagement. No nothing. Woman is still working full-time, probably does the majority of household chores, and child-rearing. Keep in MIND....She rubs his shoulders and caters to him. The other day she was resting, seven months pregnant, and he put her to WORK. Made her do some manual labour even tho she was exhausted and getting petulant with her. I AM TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW NEVER TRUST A MAN AND CATER TO HIM. THEY WILL RESENT YOU ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE A NARC. At a mutual gathering, he was blatantly flirting with another woman in front of her. NEVER TRUST THEM AND DON"T HAVE THEIR KID UNLESS THEY HAVE INVESTED HEAVILY OR ARE MORALLY SOUND PEOPLE.

Started standard dose of Tirz 2.5 mg -- Need some support and reassurance

Hi everyone,

I started microdosing Tirzepatide on July 5th with 2.5 mg. I’ve already lost about 25 lbs before this and had hit a plateau with really intense food obsession (especially pastries). Years of chronic stress + a surgery last year sent my cravings into overdrive. I couldn’t focus on anything else until I gave in.

I dosed right before my period (I’m already iron deficient), and the first week was absolutely horrendous — hypomanic/overstimulated feelings, anxiety, the works. But I pushed through and found a rhythm: small high-protein meals throughout the day (5x).
Now I’m feeling more or less normal most of the day. Blood sugar has never gone dangerously low (lowest in the 4s), but I’m autistic with high interoception so I over-analyze every sensation and it feels scary. Mornings are still the hardest — I wake up manic/panicky even though nothing is actually wrong. Driving still makes me anxious and I feel overstimulated.

Has anyone else had this experience with microdosing? Did the overstimulation and morning anxiety settle down with time? Any tips for the driving anxiety or just general reassurance would mean a lot right now.

Thanks ❤️

Should I start

150, 5'7 lbs.

My whole life I have been 125-135. After having a kid and so much stress for five years straight, I gained weight that seems impossible to lose unless I am extremely diligent with my diet and I just can't be bothered.

Is 2.5 mg too high for someone like me. I do have TIRZ PEN available. But lowest dose I can use is 2.5 mg. I am so scared to try it but also really desperate and need some relief.

MJ GRAY: Total Hypocrite

The reason so many people turned on her isn’t because she got a boyfriend. It’s because she became the exact thing she used to criticize.

She spent years looking down on tradwives, only to end up as a trophy wife with better branding.

From the outside, her lifestyle appears to be funded by a man. She can call it empowerment, luxury, soft life, or whatever trendy label she wants, but if your lifestyle depends entirely on a wealthy partner, how is that fundamentally different from the women you’re mocking?

At least tradwives are honest about the arrangement.

What makes it worse is the hierarchy embedded in the message. The subtext isn’t “all women can do this.” The subtext is: I can do this because I’m attractive enough to have a man fund my lifestyle, and if you can’t, that’s your problem.

That’s why people find it so off-putting.

It’s not female empowerment. It’s lookism.

It’s taking the oldest status game in the world—access to wealthy men—and repackaging it as a personality trait.

The entire flex boils down to: “A rich man pays my bills.”

Okay. Congratulations?

You spent years criticizing women for relying on men and then built your identity around being exceptionally rewarded for doing exactly that.

Same dependency. Better marketing.

Also...C'mon MJ....Let's see the guy. I know he looks like he has Klinefelter syndrome and we're not entirely sure what you do in exchange for this lifestyle.....But let's see the man you sabotaged your social media career for.
