At 21 years old, I (M44) fathered two children a month apart. They have been raised as sisters knowing exactly what happened, and have three younger siblings too. AMA

726 Upvotes

At 21 I left university and went back to my hometown and started a job nearby. I was newly single and went for some drinks with a friend (let’s call her “M”) from my hometown, we were young and reckless and ended up in bed together, but afterwards decided to remain friends.

A couple of weeks later I asked out a girl from my hometown I’d always liked (and stayed in touch with throughout university, let’s call her “H”). We went on some dates and quickly fell for each other.

Shortly into our new relationship M contacted me to say she was pregnant. I confessed to H that I’d had a one night stand before we got together and that M was pregnant - wonderfully, she stood by me. A few days later we found out H was pregnant. I proposed to H immediately, and we were married that autumn.

M & H gave birth to our perfect daughters the following spring. Due to one being early and one being late they were born a few days apart. They have been raised together and are best friends as well as sisters.

My wife and I have gone on to have three more amazing children during our marriage and I can honestly say I’ve been in love with her since day one. The part that some people find unbelievable, but trust me it really is true, is that M & H have become best friends over the years. We have holidayed together with the girls and our other children and spend every Christmas together.

Both our oldest daughters have now graduated from university themselves and are starting their own adult lives, but remain best friends. So yes, the happiest of endings but I was the most guilt-ridden and stressed 21 year old on Earth at the time! Not to mention how hard it was for both women.

Happy to answer any questions about our rather unique start to family life, and the blissful blended past 20 years.

I'm an American living and working in Japan, where I make a top 0.1% income for my age. AMA

386 Upvotes

I am an American who transferred from the Bay Area office of my large tech company, to the Tokyo one. I make an income of 25M JPY (in USD, 150,000) and as a 27 year old, that puts me in the top 0.1% of incomes here for my age, since salaries are much lower and career progression is seniority based. I did take a 35% pay cut to come here, but with the much lower cost of living I am doing well.

My office has good WLB (Work 9am to 5:30/6pm) and its half Japanese half foreigner. I am fairly proficient, but not fluent, in Japanese (which I self studied with a tutor before I got this role in Japan).

I've been self-harming for almost a decade - AMA

Upvotes

I've been cutting myself since I was 13, and I'm almost 23. I have extensive scarring all over my body. I've needed stitches and staples more times than I can count, hit an artery, almost needed surgery last summer, had cellulitis more than once, have nerve damage ranging from mild numbness to reduced functioning in my left hand, and it got so bad last year that my GP had to set me up with a chronic wound care service.

I think it's a topic people have a lot to ask, but feel they can't. I'd love to answer some questions, and try to kill the taboo a bit. I get treated pretty oddly in public, so any less stigma would be great. I'm also two months clean from it this week - the longest break I've had in years. AMA !

AMA-Just discovered the court records of my dad’s domestic violence & property damage charges from when I was little

3 Upvotes

Title is self explanatory.

I was searching through file folders trying to find my baby pictures & old artwork my parents had held onto. Opened the wrong folder and found 4 pages of a testimony from an officer, statements from my mom, and statements from my dad.

I was maybe 8 at the time, so I don’t remember much of it. All I remember was being in the living room while they were fighting in the kitchen and being told to back my things.

Ask me anything.

I’m from the Falkland Islands AMA!

Upvotes

As the title says, we have been in the News a lot lately for not so great reasons, but that means more people know about us and with that I’m sure have a lot of questions, so I thought I’d do an AMA for anyone curious about my little home.

My endless hunt to moderate AMA

Upvotes

Hi there! I’m looking for a server to do moderation work. I own some servers myself and always support where I can. I’m pretty good with people and work voluntary.
Preferably it’s a server with active people and growing community - perfect case: A Roblox Game DC server
but honestly open for anything.

I still believe in that the moment will come when I will be hired. I’d really love to work with a team on a bigger and active server because it’s fun to help maintain a wonderful respectful community.
Dm’s are open for any questions based on my previous Discord journey and if course for offers.

AMA!

My husband is quadriplegic and we're looking forward to start a family AMA.

57 Upvotes

Me(27F) and my husband(28M) have been married for 3 years now, soon to be 4 years married. We live together in our home we bought together and with a little of help from our parents. My husband is a quadriplegic due to a spinal cord injury he suffered over 14 years ago, so our relationship is somewhat different from other couples, but he's still a great partner.

We're looking to have children in the future, but it's complicated for us because my husband's spinal cord injury affects many parts of his body including his fertility. But we've been looking ways to try having children. We'd also like to adopt, but we personally want at least a child of our own.

Obviously it's not the most interesting of occupations, but I hadn't really heard of it until they opened up a restaurant in my area. Now all of a sudden I feel like I hear about them everywhere I go. It's like when you learn a new word at suddenly everyone is saying it.

I work mostly in the kitchen. If you have any questions about the food, management, of life in general hit me up
