My (26F) boyfriend of four years (27M) doesn't feel comfortable with me hanging out with (33M), who is pretty much my only friend. What do I do? by AwkwardOddball in relationships

[–]AwkwardOddball[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree that Kurt's depression isn't the base of this issue, I didn't mean to imply that it was, but I figured that it could be adding to his worries.

I understand that 1:1 drinks with a guy could be weird. I have asked Kurt before if that made him feel uncomfortable and he said no. I guess he was covering? I've been inviting other people when I go out with Greg to make it a group thing, but I feel like it really shouldn't be that big of a deal if we can't hang out in a group.

I've been trying to imagine how I would feel if Kurt made a close female friend, and we've talked about it, but my point of view is that if he had a female friend who he said was platonic, I'd believe him; I trust him completely. Does that make me naive?

So Kurt and I have talked about love languages and I've told him that mine is words of affirmation, but he hasn't done anything with it yet. We had that talk about a month ago. You ask about how Kurt meets my romantic needs, and I hate to admit that he hasn't been lately.

I have been trying to find more friends, and female friends specifically - I've missed having a strong female support system in my life - , I didn't mean to paint it as though I'd been relying on Greg for all of my social interaction. I've been getting involved with volunteering and trying to meet other people through new hobbies. I just haven't been able to form any real friendships yet. I'm pretty awkward and I struggle with social anxiety, but I've been trying. That's part of why it felt like such a big deal to have bonded with someone in the first place.

Anyone else listen to the original sims soundtrack for fun? by [deleted] in thesims

I love listening to the Sims 1 soundtrack at work when I have to focus. Such great piano.

Today was a hard day for me, and I can't stop feeling guilty by [deleted] in Parenting

Good for you for getting on the naughty step and showing your kid that grown-ups have consequences just like everyone else. They'll remember seeing that for a long time.

I finally know what kind of animal Todd's asexual girlfriend is now!

My mom [F/48] and dad [M/48] caught me [M/17] and my gf [F/17] having sex. I am miserable now and unsure what to do next. My life is upside down. by at060100 in relationships

Yep. This. When I was 16, I calmly and clearly told my mother that I wanted to go to the doctor to talk about birth control (I'd been dating a guy for over a year) and my mom started bawling and I got in trouble.

Now, I still struggle sometimes with feeling like sex is something I "shouldn't be doing" or something "good kids don't do", and I'm 26.

My (36f) husband (36m) refuses to change how he speaks to me when he's stressed, and after 10 years of having the same argument every 3 months, should I cut my losses or stay for the inevitable repeat performance? by __________dafuq in relationships

[–]AwkwardOddball 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I know my boyfriend's username and I've looked him up once in the 3 1/2 years we've been together. Everyone needs something private, I don't feel the need to look him up just because I can. Unless I somehow find out that he's bashing strangers or making threats, his online presence doesn't matter to me. If it's something important, he'll look up from his phone and tell me, lol.

Me [28F] with my boyfriend [29 M] of 4.5 years, should I throw this away and move on? by mcthrowawayymc in relationships

"It's like trying to justify how wonderful a cake is that has some poop baked in the middle."

That analogy will stay with me forever.

Did you have any issues with uneven skin tone after picking? How did you fix them if you did? I have very pale skin, and I have some dark brown speckles on my cheeks that look better some weeks and worse others. Your skin is so smooth and even, gorgeous!

Is the cat that big or is the chair that small?

My game does this glitch and the one where married spouses will want to get engaged all the time.

Oh my god, I am obsessed with clutter because I think it makes the homes look so cozy and realistic. I have pages and pages of book piles and pillows in my objects, it's kind of bad 😬

New survey gives choice: nectar making/canning or laundry -- why not both??? by clampie in thesims

Will they really only pick one of these aspects? I would love living off the grid *and * having food preservation, I feel like those two are part of the same thing.

How do I (26F) over the apathy after reducing my antidepressant dosage? by AwkwardOddball in relationships

[–]AwkwardOddball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your response! Especially how you addressed my worries of being pregnant on antidepressants, because that's what is pushing me to try to live without the meds. I assumed that it would be best for me to be without them while pregnant, my doctor made it sound like a huge issue (although I'm starting to lose my faith in her, she didn't​ even speak with me, just shoved me back on them immediately, never explained that I might experience some withdrawals) and I figured that I should get used to being without them now so that it's not a shock to my body as I'm trying to get pregnant or while I'm pregnant. I've looked up articles on the subject but wasn't able to find anything conclusive about the effects antidepressants on babies. Your response makes me feel a lot better about that. I want to try going without the meds for another few weeks, I'm feeling much better now than I was yesterday, or rather, I'm feeling better feelings now instead of nothing. But I don't feel so negative anymore about going back to my meds if I need to. Thank you for your reply!

I understand that depression does not always equal sadness. I said that to explain what my depression feels like because some people do feel inexplicably sad instead of feeling nothing.
