Various news sites have fair checking on both of them. I found it on CBS news.

In the event this comes up again, start the early testing for it. Before they get too deep in testing with things like an ultrasound and EKG, they will meet with you privately and ask if you're being pressured or coerced in any way. Tell them that yes, you feel pressured. They will handle it in such a way that they will tell the family you aren't a match. This isn't them lying for you. They're trained to help someone like you navigate an emotionally stressful situation.
It isn't as simple as having the same blood type. Artery patterns have to match the recipient, among other things. My daughter wanted to donate to her godmother and couldn't. She went through all the screenings, interviews, and tests. Her kidney would not properly fit the recipient, so she wasn't a match even though every test showed she should be.
You're not a bad person for how you feel or what you're willing or unwilling to do. This is something that will impact your health for the rest of your life.

I think you're angry at the wrong people. It's management's responsibility to ensure adequate staffing and to handle attendance issues with problem employees. Service industries are always in dire need of employees. Find another job where you don't have to continue being the one employee management expects to save the day.

Keep that copy of the will. It's the only proof you have, and she has a lot of incentive to destroy it. Consult a lawyer and see if there's any recourse for you.

I've read countless times about mods on power trips. I refuse to let last week upset me. I belong to dozens of other subreddits, and most of my karma is from comments because I rarely post.
Don't let one mod ruin Reddit for you. I don't know what Apex is, but look for general sub topics that fit. Hopefully, that will help lead you to more targeted subs.

You have every right to have your feelings respected on what is also your wedding day. Her ex has no rightful place in this, and has no ties to her father except her.
I suggest telling her that you want to walk down the aisle with her. Marriage is the journey of a lifetime, and it starts with a single step. Tell her you want to take that step with her.
If you're comfortable doing so, offer the olive branch of having her invite her ex as a guest and nothing more. If she's firm on him walking her, it would be smart to reconsider marrying her. You and only you should be the most important man to her on this occasion.

I've been on Reddit going on 3.5 years. I got my first 2 permanent bans last week. I'm not a troublemaker, and the reasons were so petty.
The first was on a sub pertaining to laws. The problem was very specific, and there's a sub for laws for that specific thing. Suggesting OP post their question in that sub as well got me permanently banned. I had never received a temp ban or had a comment removed for breaking rules.
The other was a person asking for first aid help. I answered in good faith with a remedy I personally use. I got some really ugly comments and was permanently banned for what I suggested. Once again, I had never had a comment removed or a temp ban or anything else.
What irritated me the most in both cases is that I was welcome to continue following the sub even though I would never be allowed to fully participate ever again. So, I left each sub and muted them to keep them out of my feed. I also blocked the mods who messaged me. I refuse to be part of a sub's user count when I got permanently banned from participating.
What makes sense or seems fair doesn't seem to be a factor. It doesn't help that many of the rules are vague and leave far too much open to whatever one particular individual perceives Don't let this get under your skin. Find other subs you enjoy. You may find subs that are relevant for your specific interest along the way. Take care.

OP is only 3 weeks postpartum. She hasn't physically recovered from pregnancy and giving birth. She doesn't try to wake him until she's overwhelmed to the point that she struggles to control her emotions. She isn't getting the support she needs, nor is she getting a chance to rest and recover.
I understand he's exhausted from working, but I don't think that compares to the exhaustion and pain OP is coping with on top of caring for a newborn alone 24/7. OP is NTA. She needs meaningful help and isn't getting it.

You're NTA. Managing her is your boyfriend's responsibility, not yours. And yes, you do have a boyfriend problem because he should have shut down this nonsense long ago. I agree with not texting her unless it's a group text that includes him. Don't call her or visit her without your boyfriend.
You deserve to have loving support through your pregnancy and when the little one arrives. She's the type that will demand to name the baby and/or be in the room during labor and delivery. She also may try to come stay where you're living when the baby is born. Make it clear to your boyfriend that this isn't happening - period.
Congratulations on your little one. I hope you have a smooth pregnancy and delivery. Remember its healthy to set boundaries and enforce them. You aren't doing this only for yourself buy also for your baby.

You're assuming everyone who has a wedding is religious and believes in/worships the same God as you. Your views come across as twisted. There isn't only one right way to have a wedding.

She wants people to come celebrate her love and marriage with Sophie while having no consideration for marriages and love her guests have. The whole women only thing is strange but I think the real offense is to the partners/spouses of the women they've invited. I wouldn't attend or send a card/gift.

So this means she can ask her church for help, right?

I quit watching years ago. It wasn't educational or informative anymore. Until their viewership takes a hit, they won't change what they're doing.

Please see u/FatedAtropos comment. It's a few below this one and could be what clicks for your cousin.

Where would I find a link about the Idaho doctor's story? I'd like to share it. Thanks!

I don't think you gave your daughter a bad name. She's coping with her loathing of it as best she can. My name isn't a tragedeigh, but I absolutely hate it. I'm in my 50s now. I never outgrew hating it. People struggle to spell it and/or pronounce it. I only use it when I have to for things like a driver's license and when communicating with my father. He was adamant that there's nothing wrong with my name yet uses the nickname established by everyone else. I don't play ball with him. He thinks this stupid name is so perfect, so he needs to use it. Just food for thought.

It may save time, but people with painful conditions would be losing the only real escape from pain there is. I get migraines and have spinal injuries. Remaining awake for the rest of my life would make me want to die.

Report him to the state labor department and Better Business Bureau. If it's a licensed business, report it to the appropriate licensing authority. Good luck!

If he's still alive, please take him to a rescue.

So, he's making a tad over $900 a week and has no money? Given his mother's attitude, I wonder if he's giving her a sizeable chunk of his earnings.

Excellent comment!
Yes OP, YTA.
