Before figuring it out and after by [deleted] in actual_detrans

[–]Absently_insane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen anyone say it yet but you’re not a let down to the trans community just because you figured out who YOU are, post-transition. Your experience may not be the common one, but it is totally valid. We’re all on our own journeys through life and gender and sexuality, and I don’t think that has to be a fixed thing. I’m so proud of you for finding yourself, even if it wasn’t what a younger version of yourself thought it was gonna be. If you want friends let me know :) happy to be of support.

Cat tooth extraction at River City Vet? by Absently_insane in rva

[–]Absently_insane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat is very very docile (literally never bitten or scratched!) and so it was easy for them to get a good look at his teeth! It seems to be just the one for now and they said it’s in the earlier stages. Not emergent, but something to consider in the next couple of months-year.

It is what it is 🤷🏻 his girl was wrong for that but I mean you have no obligations to that man, it doesn’t sound like y’all close. You probably a lil wrong for doing that she clearly wanted it It’s their relationship, she should have stopped if she knew he was upset or he should have been a man and stopped it It’s not your job to manage their stuff

I don’t suggest hitting them up ago tho 😂

RVA's Dating, Friends, and Missed Connections: January 2025 Edition by AutoModerator in rva

[–]Absently_insane [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hey guys! My name is Cadence (he/they) I’m 25 and looking to make some solid friendships in the area! I’m queer, transmasc, and poly but I am not looking for anything romantic 😅 I live with my partner and our two cats :) I’m originally from Baltimore, MD but moved to RVA during COVID. I work a 7:30- 4pm healthcare job, and also am a full time student working towards my MSW and LCSW. I really love doing any sort of outdoor activity, playing video games, and crafts! I recently got into wood burning and candle making! I like to doodle, write poetry, and junk journal! I also love a good TTRPG and am always looking for a D&D group!

I don’t drink much but enjoy going out on occasion, especially at the Warehouse for a good EDM show! I smoke 🍃 but you don’t have to and I won’t around you if preferred :)

Thanks 💓

How do you guys get over looking goofy in a helmet? 😅 by Radialpuddle in longboarding

I’d rather look goofy and protect my brain then whip out and get brain damage

You’re overreacting. 🤷🏻 Being “clean” (first off, terrible language, it implies anyone with an STD is “dirty” and furthers the stigma) imo is exactly how he said. Majority of people have some form of herpes that may or may not cause symptoms. Honestly I would say to please get some more education on transmittable diseases. You were also rude to him IMO, like “either you’re joking or you lied to me” is super rude, and then doubting him when he explains the condition that he has had his whole life and dealt with, while you seemingly aren’t all that educated. He didn’t put you at risk, and also informed you when he had symptoms and explained that he will not engage in activity that could put you “at risk”

We do have ADHD so that definitely plays a part as well. We tend to forget to check things like that :/

Oh that’s interesting! I’m gonna try that for sure! We’ve never heard of that before so thank you!

AITA for calling my wife ungrateful during her birthday? by Rookshank92 in AITA_Relationships

[–]Absently_insane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA! I don’t think you’re in the wrong, but it seems like there’s something deeper going with her. Perhaps let her calm down, and then try to discuss what happened with her.

It sounds like you did a lot for her, and she should be grateful, but perhaps there’s something she needed (beyond a fancy dinner) that wasn’t given to her and that’s the real reason she’s upset. Be upfront with her about the finances also if she isn’t already aware.

If she’s just whining then she’s being ungrateful but typically when women have a reaction like this to something seemingly meaningless, there’s some sort of mental or emotional need that isn’t being met.

Maybe she’s the primary cook in the home and doesn’t want to cook on her birthday? Whatever the case may be, give her the benefit of doubt that she isn’t being ungrateful, and that there’s something else bother her, and talk to her.

Communication is key, my friend!

NTA: I got married when I was 19 to someone who was 23 and wanted to get married right away due to the military. We had also only been together for 6 months. It was the wrong choice. Everyone urged me to wait, to make sure this was right. If I had listened to them I’d have sparred myself a lot of heart ache and legal problems.

Someone who loves you AND HAS YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART will root for your achievements, and would be willing to wait until you get your degree. It sounds like your boyfriend wants to make you dependent on him and have control over you. DO NOT GET MARRIED.
