okay so for a bit of context my partner has two children from a previous relationship, so it’s nothing on him. this is solely about me. i was diagnosed with PCOS at 13 and told i would already have a higher chance of infertility due to that and my weight. i want to have a child soon, it’s a need due to my own family issues, and i am just terrified of being infertile. basically, if i can’t have a kid my whole family dies out i’m the only one left able to keep the generation going. now currently i am on nexplanon, but me and my partner have never had protected sex. perhaps i’m overthinking and the nexplanon truly is that much of a god-send, but you’d think there’d be some sort of hiccup in the 3 years. i also have never had a regular period or cleaning of the lining, and i worry that can also affect things. i only have a period about once or twice every year. this is NOT due to the nexplanon but has been my “regular” period ever since it began. it’s never been normal.

i guess what im just trying to say is does anyone else feel this way? is there a way to calm my fears? make sure i can become pregnant? we want to start trying around Sept. 2027.

hey guys so i’m getting my first wig installed but i have some questions because im really nervous and cant reschedule my appointment. so im currently sunburnt on my forehead, scalp, and other surrounding areas. this is a lace front wig. im wondering if my sunburn will cause any issues with installation or if it’s genuinely not a good idea at all to get it installed until the sunburn heals. it’s about 2-3 days old rn

i just purchased a 2012 1.4L LT with 193,000 miles on it. i bought it for just $1,950, so i was expecting some issues to come with it. currently, its giving me a P0300 code and after it sits all night it idles quite rough and almost shakes for a second before running normally. i expect to have to replace the engine mounts, i want to see if that fixes the issue mentioned above. it also seems to have less power going up hills or struggles sometimes? not sure if that’s just normal or not. i am nowhere mechanically inclined, so im asking if theres any other things i should immediately replace to keep it going or what general maintenance it needs. i would like to get rid of the engine code as soon as possible. i love that this reddit exists, thanks in advance guys !

hii guys so i purchased my first lace front wig today, i have NEVER worn a wig before or even know the first thing about what to do. i’ve gotten the wig on but i can’t seem to get my hair tied in a way that it won’t show and stick out of the wig almost or create a huge bunch? i have done it in a bun but never get it flat enough, ive used bobby pins, im just wondering if theres some tricks im missing :(! thanks in advance!

heyy guys so i’m purchasing an 06 mazda6, 272k miles. i know that’s a lot of miles, but it has been taken care of and i just need it to last me a few longer. can you guys give me some good info about this car, if it’s worth it for $2,000, and what i can do to keep up on the maintenance with it? what are any issues common with that year? i’ve never had a mazda so im a bit unsure. thanks in advance!!

i (20f) have been with my bf (27m) for about 2 years. in the beginning the mornings were very nice, we would cuddle up and enjoy each other’s company. obviously i know the honeymoon phase exists and wasn’t expecting it to last forever, but recently our mornings have been awful. for some context, i am usually up before he is every morning due to some medical issues and tend to just wake up earlier. i begin my day by cleaning up any messes around the house and starting the daily chores, such as laundry or dishes. this means im usually not in bed when he wakes up, or im in the bathroom handling my medical issues. this has been an ongoing issue as he claims he can’t sleep without me in the bed, and that is why he is snappy and rude in the mornings because he “misses” me from the bed. due to this i’ve been trying a lot harder to be in bed when he wakes up to minimize his rudeness. but now he’s just snappy and angry in bed, even when im next to him.

fast forward to this morning, im not in bed today because laundry is needing to be done and he likes to shower before leaving the house, so i begin washing and drying the towels for him as well as some of his clothing. he is heading to church today for father’s day (i usually go with but due to some issues his family has with me i cant show up) and to be with his family and his two girls, i mention this because it sometimes stresses him out because his family is a lot and always bombarding him. well, as i’m starting a new load of laundry and beginning to dry the towels for his shower, he swings the door open and comes out of our room. i turn and say “goodmorning baby!” only to be met with “stop doing laundry and get the fuck out of my way.” i am an emotional person, so i start to tear up and just step
to the side. he then stops the dryer and checks the towels i just put in there, then starts it again. says nothing to me.

AIO for feeling like he just hates me in the morning or did i do something wrong i can’t see?

EDIT: i turned 18 in April 2024, we met in September 2024, and began dating in december 2024. he is married but separated from his wife for almost 3 years, and we co-parent with the mother. we have his two girls every other weekend.

EDIT 2: a BIG reason i feel so worthless and feel like it’s difficult to leave is because i feel like he’s the most attractive man i’ve been with. i’m not hideous, but im not everyone’s type. bigger body shape with no ass. he (surprisingly) has never had anything to due with me feeling like this, he doesn’t say anything derogatory about my appearance or body at any time, but i just feel like i wouldn’t be able to find someone who is that attractive to me (and other people) again. i feel like some could call me shallow, and that’s a fault of my own im trying to work on, but i cannot get past the fact that if im not attracted to you, i don’t want to be with you romantically. i feel you need a standard physical attraction to one another to really work.

EDIT 3: his family doesn’t like me due to a giant (turned physical) argument, i ran to my mothers work and had her force him out my vehicle and made him walk (we live about an hour away from my moms work). i did not put my hands on him but he gave me a black eye and tried to run us off the highway while i was driving. i tried to pick him up after but he had his mom pick him up and removed me from the house for a day before having me come back, even though he had me pack everything up and take it. his family has never been a giant fan of me because they worried abt me messing up his job when he was sheriff(i smoke medically for my chronic issues) and he smokes recreationally but they don’t know that. after the fight, they pretty much said i bring the bad out in him and rile him up too much

EDIT 4: a lot of people keep asking why i stay or put myself in this situation. i did have a car, and at that time i was preparing myself to leave. however shortly after it got totaled, and i do not have insurance to get me a new vehicle so i am stuck. my family cannot provide, as my mom is homeless and nobody else is really involved in the picture. i understand the severity of needing to leave, i know what he did isn’t okay to me. it’s just figuring out the hardships that seem to prevent me from doing so.
