I feel terrible. My husband has always wanted a big family, I did too but had some health problems with my last baby. I finally agreed to try for another one after lots of healthy discussions and I would ultimately love another baby but my health anxiety is making me freak out and I genuinely don't want to burst his bubble of happiness. It's been two days since I agreed and I feel sick at the thought of breaking his heart.

I do this thing I think it's called malative day dreaming but it makes me so happy. No one knows I do it in my day dreams I have everything I want and it's usually a group of friends from a TV show (think friends) everyone is how they were but I am there too it's hard to explain

I hate feeling like this because I feel like a huge witch but I’m really struggling nowadays to be happy for other people. Multiple friends, including my best friend, have gotten engaged or married over the last year, and I’m struggling to be happy for them and most of the time I just feel overwhelming jealousy. I’m still waiting for MrBabes to propose and he has recently told me he has no plans to do so after 8 years together. It just makes me direct my anger at the wrong people now
Well if you're a witch for this then I'm a witch too, and my therapist literally said this week that it was OK to feel like this.

I'm really struggling at the moment, everyone around me seems to not only be coupled up but in the best versions of their relationships right now. Now obviously I'm glad my friends are all happy and I'm glad their relationships are in great places but bugger if I'm not finding being the only single one difficult. I'm broadly happy with my life at the moment, I've started therapy which is massively helping how I feel about certain things but every now and then I do get the fleeting "when is it going to happen for me", and I'm struggling to hear from my friends when they're gushing about their happiness. It's hard not to tell them I don't need to hear it. Because obviously I want them to be happy but right now, I don't need to hear it and it be rubbed in my face (which isn't what they're doing on purpose (at least i hope not haha)).

Okay this is something I've never confessed before but I was fiercely independent as a child however for whatever reason I was terrified to use the public restrooms on my own so my ma had to come with me inside the actual bathroom whenever I needed to go, I was almost 11 when I finally went by myself... I still remember bawling my eyes out the first time I went on my own when I was on holidays with my family

This sounds like such a heavy burden to carry, and I can see why you're feeling torn. That doesn’t make you selfish or weak; it just makes you human. If you’ve already had healthy discussions about expanding your family, then hopefully he’ll be open to another conversation. One that’s just as compassionate and understanding. Would he want you to suffer in silence, especially over something so life-changing?

Maybe you could approach it from the angle of, “I want this too, but I need to be honest about how much fear I'm feeling. Can we talk through this again, because I don’t want my anxiety to overshadow something we both want?” That way, it’s not about shutting him down or "bursting his bubble," but rather about finding a way forward together that takes your health needs into account as well.

This makes sense. Using the bathroom at home was a familiar and safe place. As a child it would be in unknown spaces with unknown others. There have been other cases of assaults in public bathrooms, children are always more vulnerable. Wanting your mother there beside you was just about having comfort and reassurance.

My confession is that I have ordered from Shein, Temu, or Vinted.
This is absolutely fine. What would be a confession would be if you admitted to farting in postage bags before you send off orders you've sold.

Did you recently sell a size 28 Boston sweatshirt because when I opened the package it smelt of packet ham

I signed my daughter up to rainbows fully aware it’s a Christian organisation and I don’t intend on attending any of the church events 🤭

It was me who reported the landlord to (our equivalent of) the council for cutting bushes and small trees during the protection period to help nesting birds.
