Wow. As a passport acceptance agent, I can tell you, the children are required every time. Children's passports aren't renewed. You need every thing, every time. Without the child there, how do we know it's the correct child? Children change appearances very quickly, that's why their passports are only good for 5 years. You could literally provide a photo of ANY child and claim it was the same one.

Totally agree, I once heard mom say that if you're on a car and you are about to run over a dog, trying to dodge it could cause much more damage than running over it. I told her "no, I'm sure you could stop the car or just slightly avoid it", but now I see it's really not that easy and she's always been right.

I'm glad you and your baby are fine!

I hear you. There are definitely places where flirting is a no-go. Anywhere that someone is being paid to be nice to you. Places where people go to do their own thing by themselves and not be bothered, like the gym or the grocery store. Places that tend to be a meat market, like community dancing, (while flirting isn’t forbidden, tread very lightly).

By way of perspective, what you were describing about missing cues etc, pretty accurately described me in my twenties. Women friends suspected I might be gay; no, just painfully awkward.

I hope that more of those experiences come your way, and that you know your worth well enough to recognize them when they are incoming.

I'll share my brief happy story. I moved into a new place and didn't even check the shower head location. I always have to get those extensions to raise the shower head. My new place has it up high! I couldn't believe it. I was butt ass naked getting ready to shower and fucking happy about my new place. It's like I belong here

Yeah I had my first passport about 3 years old. I think a passport is one of those things you should just have on hand. Just like you said you ever know when an opportunity may come and I’ve had it happen to me several times throughout my life.

If OP discussed getting the passport I don’t see the big deal. Kids get excited about all sorts of stuff and their first passport is something new and exciting.

Get over them both and leave them alone forever.

Find a hobby. Foster positive friendships. Read a book. Travel somewhere you’ve never been before. Just stop doing whatever this thing you’re doing right now is.

I mean, I think it was more nuanced than that. I was always against cheating. I just feel I was manipulated and in turn, like if it was gender swapped people would say that, and I made a horrible decision because I was being weak-willed and naive that I am never going to do again. I can see the red flags in retrospect. Both in myself and my ex. And I plan to grow from that. That doesn't mean we as people don't think about ethics and morals when we mess up, though. That's the whole thing with guilt and growth. I don't think you're ever too young for those lessons.
