I've been wondering about something for a while, and I'm genuinely curious how others see it.

I read a lot of posts from people who dream about ending up with their AP but don't because of kids, finances, housing, family, or other practical reasons. Those reasons make complete sense.

But what surprises me is that I rarely see anyone talk about trust?

If someone is willing to cheat with you, what makes you believe they won't eventually cheat on you? Do most people just trust their AP completely? Or do most affairs simply never reach that point, so the trust issue never really has to be confronted?

The reason I'm asking is personal. At one point I seriously considered leaving my husband for my AP. But the biggest thing that stopped me wasn't the practical sid, it was trust.

(Some background story: my AP had previously left his GF for another AP. They for married and now I became the new AP. Knowing that history makes it difficult for me to trust him. But I'm pretty sure I would not fully trust him Even if I had been his only AP).

So I'm genuinely curious: if you've considered building a life with your AP, how did you deal with the trust issue? Did it not worry you, or did you just decide the risk was worth taking?

Hi

My doctor just prescriped epiduo for my hormonal acne.

Have anyone in here gotten good result with epiduo for hormonal acne?

And how did you use it?

35F

I stopped birth control pills about 9–10 months ago and got copper Iud. For the first 7-8 months everything was normal, my cycles were completely normal (around 30 days). Then things started getting weird.

Since March, I've had:

• Much worse acne (mainly jawline/chin)
• Increasingly painful periodes and ovulation
• Bloating/water retention
• Sore nipples
• Lower back pain
• Three yeast infections within 2 months
• Irregular bleeding

My cycles have become really strange. I had one cycle that lasted 40 days, then 32 days. Since then, I've been getting significant bleeding around the middle of my cycle (ovulation) . It's definitely not just spotting (I need pads/tampons), but it also doesn't feel like a full normal period.

I still seem to get my "real" period around the time I would normally expect it,

I'm seeing my doctor, but I'm curious if anyone had something similar after stopping the pill, from a copper IUD, PCOS, ovarian cysts, hormones going crazy, etc. What was the cause in your case?
