in the family way

some people say prego but that's too confusing

Usually I just say fat

So, we just had a nice long chat.

She's pretty agitated and feels like she has no independence when I start worrying about her. She said she didn't want to hang out tonight because it doesn't make her feel very joyful to think about us being together tonight and talking about all of these things.

She told me that she sees me as her 'relaxation time', but its impossible for her to enjoy her time with me and relax when she knows I am constantly worried about her.

She doesn't want to break up or anything, but she definitely needs some space right now, and from what you guys have said, I should definitely do that, and let her come back to me when she is ready. I told her I was sorry for putting her through so much today, and she apologized back and said she felt the same way.

She also mentioned that it frustrates her how much I delve into every single conversation analytically/philosophically, and that it puts too much strain on her. I don't know what to do about that, because thats just how I operate.

I told her I would stop worrying about her so much, and I aim to do that. If any of you have any pointers on how not to worry about small things all the time, please let me know.

This is an excerpt of what she said:

"OK. I would like to talk about this in person too. I'm just concerned that the entire thing will turn into worries again.... like most of our conversations have for the past week. Instead of being constructive they are perpetually stuck in nowhereville. you end up feeling better, which is GREAT! But I feel drained. I'm not good at handling worries, at least of that caliber. Or at least not so strong of worries. That's the communication bridge I'm scared that we're on."

annie, i like to inject flavor into the words that i use irregardless of how others might perceive them

ya those are the worst

not sure i'd ever say preggers - it's no easier than pregnant and much stupider.

.

So where do I go from here? Do I just stop thinking about her entirely until she comes back? What are the chances of this actually working out okay in the long run, and what can I do to improve those chances?

Anytime you have an urge to worry about her and have an analytical conversation about something she said just come here first, post in pub, we'll all tell you that you shouldn't do it, and then you won't

Problem solved

just relax and be normal, everything will be alright

i have a problem with this sometimes myself (major shocker amirite) so i have to make a concerted effort to keep things simple for the sake of blending in with the rest of society.

You should stop letting Dean troll you with so little effort - at least make him work for it imo

I dont even know where these stupid insecurities that cause my worrying even come from.

Poggers most likely to be some sort of elaborate ruse
1) filthy
2) dean

although i think dean might be about to take on the #1 spot.

preggo shirts ftl

$how ur work bro, i keep it realer than anybody else here

traz & I say preggo

leggo my preggo

in a family way

large with child

I would agree except ive met dean irl

not being valued as a child

one gets over it eventually

Nah Dean's real, also any list like this should obviously start with all the female poggers because there are no girls on the internet

back in the day on I love Lucy they made them say "enciente" because pregnant was too crude for the vaunted medium of television

a ruse by any other name!

take time to stop and smell the ruses.

ruse is a ruse is a ruse is a ruse

I think these days most people leave out the "large" part and just go with "with child"
