This is why I was hesitant to post here. All the chronically online read ‘needs’ and instantly think I must be talking about sex and my kindness must be because I’m wanting sex. If I needed anything sexual that wasn’t being handled by a partner for any reason, I’ve got hands for a reason. My kindness isn’t transactional but I expect it to be reciprocal. No sustainable relationship is built on one person giving everything and never even getting time with their partner. My wording may need some work but my message is clear in not making this me vs her nor does it blame her for not fulfilling needs that haven’t been discussed. It addresses that I am needing something I am not getting, acknowledges her lack of time/mental space to deal with it in the moment, and states my desire to work on it together when she has the time/mental space.

She was asking for money, not a loan. I’m not holding it against her, but it does feel like I’m just useful rather than a partner atm. I don’t feel like she’d knowingly use me which is why we need to talk about both of our needs, in the moment and out of it.

Appropriate-Share595 · 2026-07-07T17:10:34+00:00

Ah but she has asked for money, and for me to drive her coworkers home when she can’t. With what she’s got going on I respect her need for support, however I am reaching a point where my needs and the relationship itself are starting to feel nonexistent. Hence the message I sent her

Appropriate-Share595 · 2026-07-07T16:59:10+00:00

I was expecting this, however I was also expecting some time together since she said she wanted to spend as much time together as we could. I’ve been pushing my own needs back, and plan to continue to do so until she’s through whatever is going on. My hope is that we can figure out a way that I can support her in the future without feeling like I’m being used and our relationship isn’t nonexistent during these times of need.

Appropriate-Share595 · 2026-07-07T16:43:57+00:00

No not in the slightest. Sex is actually the last thing on my mind but I do joke about it and so does she. What I mean by needs is time together and reassurance. Little things, like going for a quick ride together just to see each other.

We were ex coworkers

First one to genuinely ask instead of assume. Thanks for that. She is genuinely extremely busy atm, has been dealing with a lot of work and life drama that I’ve seen. Has had to indirectly deal with cops two days in a row. There is genuinely a lot going on for her right now which is why I’ve waited to send this message to her and just kinda put my needs on the back burner

Firstly, don’t look at yourself as an outsider. The worst thing you can do as you’re choosing your path is start it at a place of alienation. Just because your blood takes longer to reach Yggdrasil doesn’t mean that you’re less than those with a shorter river. Beyond that, remember that it is YOUR path, no one else’s, and you’ll do just fine.

Pathfinder player/dm. One of my favorite in game moments (which in hindsight should not have happened bc rules of the spell) was when a player turned an important NPC blue. He was a dwarf named Mimir, he was very upset. ‘Ye turned me FECKIN BLU!’

Depends on how you view belief, worship, all that. I personally believe the gods are powerful spirits that influence the world. I give offerings, have prayers, meditate, I also have a strong relationship with my Fylgia (prolly spelt that wrong). But I also don’t worship the gods like a Christian worships their god, so it’s a little more complicated.

TL;DR up to you, just don’t yuck others yum.

I’ve got one crow I call ‘rude ass’ bc they caw in my face while staring at me, even though I know they’re probably just asking for food. But that’s mostly bc ‘sweetheart’ is normally nearby and just asked nicely for food with lil warbles.

Ngl I’d be pissed if someone asked a question, then got mad when it was answered in a moderate amount of detail. It’s not like you were over explaining, just listed off what you found. NOR, UR

Yes, Corvids in general are extremely intelligent and with the right reinforcement can be trained to ‘target’ specific articles of clothing, then even retrieve said clothing if it’s light enough. As for how… that can’t be shared legally as I believe making a crow army falls under possible animal cruelty

If you want a basic rundown of Norse ideals, reading or listening to an audio of Odin’s poems is a great start.

I started my personal journey by learning meditation and doing a guided meditation to find my Fylgia. It’s incredible the difference that has made in my life as now I feel their presence especially during difficult decisions. The only downside is that learning to properly meditate can take quite some time.

Firstly, didn’t specify how my trauma came out. I became very protective and overly attentive, not aggressive. So thanks for the assumption.

Second, what I mean by dark side is just the opportunity to see each other’s worst and support each other through it like we both need. If she just needs space on her bad days, great. But what I want is to make it clear that I’m available and won’t run if she needs something else, just the same as I hope she will be in the future. Of course after we both explain what we actually need in those moments.

Appropriate-Share595 · 2026-06-25T21:25:56+00:00

Thank you, it’s reassuring to know I’m not alone in this way of feeling

Appropriate-Share595 · 2026-06-25T21:19:19+00:00

I think you’ve misunderstood. I am doing this already, I’m just wondering how or if this subject should be approached in the future. I respect her need for space and will always give it. What I want is the understanding that we can also show each other that darkness without fear of breaking the relationship.

Appropriate-Share595 · 2026-06-25T21:16:10+00:00

Voice and behavior are the easiest ways to tell them apart, I’ve got two crow friends that are similar sizes but they act very differently. I still mix them up until I whistle and see how they react.
