What did the mothers of the Sultans look like?

Do we have a description of what the mothers of the Ottoman Sultans looked like?

I've always wondered about it, especially when it comes to the less known ones like Nilufer, Saliha Dilasub, Mihrisah, Pertevniyal etc

AITAH for wanting to stop dating due to sudden endomitriosis diagnosis and treatment

So, I have finally done some final medical tests and all signs point at me having endomitriosis.

My obgyn suspected this on the grounds of the symptoms I was having and just wanted me to have the tests to reach a more accurate conclusion/ diagnosis.

Ever since I had that ultrasound and saw that big cyst I have down there, I am feeling poorly and under the weather. The fact that I will probably need to have a surgery for its removal doesn't help either.

I am currently dating some people but I feel like until this issue is over, I do not want to go out on dates anymore or be intimate, as a cyst so big may burst, as the obgyn said.

I want to let my dates know about this but I am afraid of their reaction. AITAH?

Bf broke up with me because of HPV. I am struggling to move on and love myself

I have posted this on other subreddits too but I really can't move on and I want him back.

Back in 2022, I had a positive HPV DNA test and an abnormal pap smear. I managed to get the pap smear and HPV DNA test clear and they have remained like this for 4 years. I have my tests done twice a year and i follow my obgyn's advice diligently.

I had my last tests done one month ago. Until the results came out, my bf refused to touch me and said I was an HPV carrier that spreads cancer.

I asked him to break up but he told me that "No one will ever love you like I do. Every time you say, you have HPV, all men will leave. This is why your exes left. They just didn't tell you".

I scheduled a meeting for him with my obgyn. She informed him about HPV and answered all questions he may have had but he refused to listen and accept her guidance (get the vaccine etc)

She said that about 90% of sexually active people will get it at some point and that he probably has it too. I urged him to listen to the doctor but he said "I am not one of you, the infected"

She referred him to a psychiatrist for therapy then because she said that these fears and distrust were irrational after some point. He refused to visit a psychiatrist.

After I got my test results all of which were clear, he broke up with me on the grounds of my HPV. He has been diagnosed with OCD and was under a lot of stress due to financial instability but this treatment broke my heart.

I did my best to keep myself and him safe and he still left. He hasn't contacted me yet. His words still echo in my ears and I am afraid I will always be alone. I hate myself and I feel dirty. I am afraid he is already dating a gil who's clear.

I no longer have the strength to do anything. I haven't met my friends for over two weeks and dropped out of the gym.

I need help

My bf (M31) broke up with me (F28) because of my HPV. What can I do to reconcile?

Back in 2022, I had an HPV DNA test which was positive and an abnormal pap smear. I managed to get the pap smear and HPV DNA test clear and they have remained like this for 4 years. I have my tests done twice a year and I follow my obgyn's advice diligently.

I asked him to break up but he told me that "No one will ever love you like I do. Every time you say you have HPV, all men will leave. This is why your exes left. They just didn't tell you".

I scheduled a meeting for him with my obgyn. She informed him about HPV and answered all questions he may have had but he refused to listen and accept her guidance (get the vaccine etc)

She told him that he most probably has it too since 80-90% of those who are sexually active will get it. He said he knows he definitely doesn't have it even though there's no way to get tested for men.

When I urged him to listen to the doctor, he said "I am not one of you, the infected"

The obgyn eventually referred him to a psychiatrist then because she said that these fears and distrust were irrational after some point. He refused to visit a psychiatrist.

After I got my test results all of which were clear, he broke up with me on the grounds of my HPV. He has been diagnosed with OCD and was under a lot of stress due to financial instability but this treatment broke my heart.

I did my best to keep myself and him safe and he still left. He hasn't contacted me yet.

His words still echo in my ears and I am afraid I will always be alone. I miss him and I want him back.

Is there anything I can do about it? We have been in No Contact for 2 weeks.

Guy gets mad I have an MR scan before our date. How can I address this?

I asked a guy I have been on a date with if we could hang out at his place tomorrow. He said okay and asked me if I was going to wear something nice (he probably meant provocative)

I said no as I have an MRI scan before so that was not possible.

He replied "Hahahahah you are so funny. How convienient for you to have an appointment tomorrow of all days. I do not even care if you truly have that MRI scan but if you do I hope it's okay. Bye"

I texted him that "I was at the doctor's today and the first available appointment for the scan is tomorrow. I am free afterwards though."

He left me on read and unfollowed me.

I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts and the obgyn requested I have an MRI scan to get the better picture.

I am lost.

Edit: He probably assumed I was going to cancel on him because of my appointment.

Ιδιωτικό ΙΕΚ δεν μου επιστρέφει λεφτά. Βοήθεια

Πριν από δύο χρόνια γράφτηκα σε ιδιωτικό ΙΕΚ και πλήρωσα προκαταβολή και δύο δόσεις. Όμως, λόγω προσωπικών προβλημάτων δεν παρακολούθησα κανένα μάθημα και διαγράφηκα πριν την έναρξη τους μάλιστα.

Δεν μου έδωσαν ποτέ πίσω τα χρήματα μου. Μου είπαν τα κρατάμε σε περίπτωση που αλλάξετε γνώμη στο μέλλον.

Ε δεν άλλαξα και πλέον τα θέλω πίσω αλλά δεν μου τα δίνουν. Παίρνω τηλέφωνα και μου λένε θα σας καλέσουμε εμείς αλλά δεν καλεί κανένας πίσω.

Τι μπορώ να κάνω; έχω κρατήσει αποδείξεις και τα πάντα.
