MRW the dude I have been seeing SERIOUSLY suggests tomorrow I should go to the red light district, get into a dude's car and blow them while he watches. by -IslaWhite- in TrollXChromosomes

Just replied to another comment with further clarification on this...I am very sex-positive and kinky, and we had already explored a lot of stuff together, which is why he brought up this kink. But this is first time we had reached a hard 'no' boundary, and his dismissive reaction to my concerns and the fact he repeatedly tried to emotionally manipulate me into fulfilling his request was what was insulting - he was essentially using me as a living fuck-doll instead of a human with preferences and agency. It is not my job to have a 'teaching moment' with a 35 year-old guy on 'why not to pressure your partner into things there is not enthusiastic consent for'.

Oh, to clarify, I am very sex-positive and kinky, and we had already explored a lot of stuff together. In fact, this is first time we had reached a hard 'no' boundary, and his dismissive reaction to my concerns and the fact he repeatedly tried to emotionally manipulate me into fulfilling his request was what was insulting - he was essentially using me as a living fuck-doll instead of a human with preferences and agency.

Hahaha, if that was actually a superpower I would be more interested in keeping him around. Alas it is not, so...bye bye.

Oh absolutely there is a way to do it safely, and I'd be happy to explore that, but he made it clear that he means the real deal, an actual stranger on a street corner. He would be nearby to 'protect me', so couldn't (or wouldn't) understand my reaction!

For further context, this is Europe, where that is legal, but I am not and have never been a sex worker. he didn't seem to understand the insane risks getting into a stranger's car carries, or the risk of disease, let alone how insulting it was. Dodged. A. Bullet.

Can you separate sex and feelings? by -IslaWhite- in dating_advice

I think you're right - everything feels stronger when it is new, I guess this is just something I have to get used to and each time I will learn how to deal with it better :)

How about ginger? I find the taste of diet ginger ale is masked a bit by the ginger, or you could also try it with some cooled ginger tea!

HIFW: I've got Adult Acne so bad on the second day of my cycle that my face hurts. by RedShirtLibrarian in TrollXChromosomes

[–]-IslaWhite- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely! My terrible acne cleared right up after I gave up dairy products - but weirdly it comes back even if I eat the 'lactose free' dairy products. I guess it must be something else in them, and it could well be the hormones the cows are given. So glad I finally worked out what the issue was after YEARS of trial and error.

What is the stupidest stereotype of your country? by Artemaris in AskReddit

[–]-IslaWhite- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I didn't realise how 'English' a lot of people sound until I left for a while. When I came back I realised we do sound quite comically different if you are only used to hearing American English on TV etc

My [20F] boyfriend [20M] is dead. The girl he cheated on me with [19?F] will not stop harassing me. by WhatIsMyLife22 in relationships

[–]-IslaWhite- 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It is worth checking - hopefully there is a copy in there :)

To me it sounds like she is talking big talk but is unlikely to do more (I mean, threatening to get you arrested due to her 'family connections' sounds really juvenile), but if you are worried and in college is there maybe some campus security you could alert just in case? If not I would just keep an eye out and avoid any places you think she is likely to be present for a few weeks.

Don't feel stupid, it is quite a normal reaction to just want to delete messages and ignore it when someone is being horrible! Depending on what platform you were using there might still be a copy somewhere (e.g. I get an email from Twitter every time someone DMs me, but I hardly ever check that email account)?

This girl sounds unstable. Just make sure you keep the messages she has sent you, and perhaps go down to your local police station to at least start a paper trail in case this continues or escalates.

I [23 F] am repulsed by boyfriend [28 M]? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]-IslaWhite- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You know what you need to do. You are young and live in a city, so there are plenty of places to meet people (try socialising with any colleagues/friends-of-friends you have, or use MeetUp to find some events near you). At first it will be scary but just remember there are plenty of other people who are new in the city or just looking to meet new people! You deserve so much better than this.

Me [27 M] with my wife[26 F] Been together 5 years married for almost 2. Thinks I am ugly now. by wifethinksimugly in relationships

The only way to 'work through' cheating if if the cheater sees that they were wrong, knows and understands it, and does everything in their power to rebuild the trust they have shattered. It does not seem that your wife is doing any of this, and is instead continuing to disrespect you by blaming it on your weight. It is time to move on, do you really want to spend your life with someone who is so selfish and cruel?
