He may view his future wife as a housekeeper, childcare provider, and sex provider only. He’s having an emotional affair with you, which he probably feels he won’t have with the future wife.

I saw Reservoir Dogs in the theater with my then BF, his choice of movie. Halfway through, over half the audience walked out. I wish I had. Stuck in the Middle with You has been ruined forever for me.

I probably have a longer list of movies I wish I hadn’t seen, than important ones I’ve missed.

YAY! SNS IS STILL AROUND!

I think that with a dog this unstable that that is highly unlikely.

I think the dog issue is an indicator of Glass and Alani’s general attitude toward other people.

Dead kids are okay, because they’ve gone to Heaven. Right?

There was a whooping cough outbreak a few years ago in the East Bay, in the Moraga/Lafayette area. Wherever the rich, white and privileged cluster, there shall disease be.

I’m sure his practice is huge, what with all the rich and privileged flooding his practice for his special excuse notes. And they probably all pay cash. Hmmm. I wonder if the IRS has ever checked out their tax filings.

Because I’m an old, I had chickenpox as a kid. My kids were vaccinated for it. I made sure to get the new vaccine that should prevent me getting shingles, because I remember how miserable my mother was when she came down with shingles. No, thank you very much.

The OP is describing serious symptoms of depression, not just loneliness. Having dealt with depression since I was 12, I heard a lot of the issues that are common with depression. Depression, not sadness, is a chemical imbalance, and often requires drug treatment. But that is up to the OP and her doctor.

Please explain why Anita is your friend? I don’t see any benefit from having her in your life, just a long list of negatives.

I’ve known a couple of people with pre-eclampsia and neither one of them had weight issues during pregnancy. Doctors tend to make overweight expectant mothers test more often for gestational diabetes, but I think that’s part of the idea that weight = diabetes, when it’s usually caused more by genetics and diet.
