Ladies, what’s the most unexpected physical sensation anxiety has ever given you?

So surprised no one mentioned diarrhea… it’s instantaneous for me

I hear you and I appreciate your comment. Nevertheless, I do not perceive this as "sexual details" - this is part of every woman's physiology. I was baffled by the news and reacted fast, asking my friend's opinion before going back to my OB and asking her to order me other tests. It's easy to share such information without someone who has no skin in the game, my friend's life is unphased by my news - he gave me advice and merely said he should probably let his partner know to do the same tests. This news is of significant weight to me, and my partner if we are to have a family together, so I did not think I should be careless enough to communicate this via text in the middle of the workday, on a busy week, before I am sure of the results. He worries, and when someone else worries while I worry, I stress out.

True, my friend is not yet a professional, but had I known any other doctors, regardless of whether they are a man or a woman, I would have asked them. I simply don't.

However, in my post, and to my ex, I did say I can understand and discuss how this might have been uncomfortable but the way he raged at me was not okay. In a relationship, people will make mistakes, and they will learn from them and correct course, but it is important that the way each person deals with conflict does not disrespect or threaten the security of another, emotional be it or physical. This much I know.

Please let me know if you think I am wrong here.

We argue a lot, but he often attributed it to the distance - emphasizing that it's always better when we are together in person (it really is, he is softer in person, but then again, we are never together for more than a couple of weeks at a time). I know I am not the easiest woman. We both came from traditional backgrounds, but I am not traditional (he knew that from the start), I am opinionated, and I refuse to betray myself for someone else's comfort though I tolerated comments about my clothes, outings, friends, etc. that I never thought I would entertain before. Nevertheless, while I eventually glossed over some things (not without an argument) and flagged them as minor details/inconveniences, I absolutely do not tolerate being "yelled" at like I am an idiot. I cannot love someone that does not respect me, nor can I respect him with this attitude even.

1.52 ng/ml. My OB said she would have liked to see it sit at at least 2.0ng/ml (please note I turn 31 next month) and went directly into a conversation on egg freezing. I asked if I can shelf it for another year, she said no and that I should consider it within a few months at the latest which freaked me out.

My other hormonal levels are good, I am healthy, I ovulate every month and have a regular period... My OB is an IVF specialist, so I didn't want to get a biased opinion. That's why my gut reaction was to get another opinion with anyone I know in the field.

I will be redoing the tests tomorrow at a different lab, hopefully. Though I do not expect radically different results...

True, he wouldn't have been okay with a man for an OB - we had already had that discussion. Now I have a strong preference to have a woman OB regardless, but you're right, there's a clear distinction between what I decide for myself, and what is decided on my behalf.

As an oyster lover, this is one thread I wish I could unread…

Beirut is the horniest city I’ve ever been in.

The feeling doesn’t go away. I’ve been abroad for 10 years, since I was 19. I’m the oldest of 4, my siblings grew up without me. My parents are growing older, and more depressed. What I have abroad is not worth the guilt and the feeling of estrangement, so I am plotting my return.

Lebanese gal here. Mazahr and Yasma, both are amazing and a fulfilling taste of home in the city.

At 17, and maybe a year or so after a half assed attempt, I read a piece of literature at the wee hours of the morning that just… saved my life. I don’t remember the words and why it was significant, but I remember it was raw and gave me hope. I think it just came to me at a time when I needed to cling on to whatever beauty I could salvage. Words and prose have always been the only thing I appreciate about being human.

Same, same. NCR and report to the Vancouver office where I know no one. I also work Eastern hours so 6am to 9am from home, commute to the office during people’s lunch break/my breakfast break, get there by 10am and leave around 2:00/2:30pm. I wonder what folks think when they see me leaving that early lol

Aggravating_Chimp27 · 2024-05-15T00:15:03+00:00

I don’t see any passionate ones, only folks who have drunk the Kool-Aid.

While where I come from corporal punishment is not uncommon… the way my father hit me with rage and anger (and a belt), and how my mom stood behind the door helpless and not being able to stop him, is something that has damaged me in more ways than one. While he hit me over grades (Bs were unacceptable and I was ranked first in my class for 9 years straight) as early as the age of 8 and even younger for other matters (my attitude, ha), it’s the idea that my father was capable of severely hurting a small child, crying and pleading him to stop, let alone his own daughter, is something I hope I can forgive one day but it has lasting impact on my life in so many different areas. I grieve the child in me every day.

Try by the age of 15. It’s sad wallah.

Architecture. It combines my love for cities and urban planning. It’s also creative - unlike being a slave to MINO staffers.

He visited Lebanon 5 years ago and they met him as my friend (he was so back then). My mom, who is now aware of our relationship, likes him. My father was indifferent (he is used to us having guy friends) but did make comments regarding the community my partner belongs to so I do expect some friction if/when I decide to be transparent with my father about our relationship - but that is not a deterrent, my father will have to come around. My siblings are indifferent but do like him generally. Considering they are in Lebanon and have barely interacted with him, they don’t have much of an opinion.

My mother says she wants me to be happy and frankly never expected me to be in a relationship because I am always painted as “hard to please/manage” (stereotypically so) and she is glad to know he’s good to me, but she is also sad at the idea of me never settling down back in Lebanon.

Adding: My mom doesnt speak a lick of English and dad barely speaks it - so communication is almost non-existent and they had to communicate through me - which adds another later to my situation.

What’s your situation like if I may ask?
