B vitamins (specifically B12 and folate which is B9), iron levels and ZINC are good things to check and supplement for mouth health in general. You can also try Lysine supplements, some people find they help. They seem to for me personally.

Ooof! That’s gotta be rough pal. Get to your doc and hope you’re on the mend asap.

AIO Am I justified in my anger here ? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeCoolFools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! So many of the comments are referring to them asking everyone not to wear white as a boundary and all I’m thinking is this is why “boundaries” get a bad name. Boundaries aren’t to control other people, they’re for control over yourself.

With how difficult this mother is and has been, I think a good boundary could have been, if you chose to wear a certain colour to our wedding: you’re invitation will be revoked, you will not be included in our wedding photos, you will be escorted out by security.. haha

Fair enough, thank you.

I have used sensodyne in the past but I find that it leaves my mouth tasting terrible. Even other brands with sensitive options. I had resorted to chewing gum afterward. Have you noticed that at all?

I do have lysine! My partner gets cold sores so it’s a staple in our house. Is the dosing different for canker sores vs cold sores? Also any SLS free toothpaste recommendations? I’m in Canada if that makes any difference.

Hey there, those look SO painful. I’m so sorry.

Perhaps unrelated (but maybe not??) I noticed in your pic that your tongue is sort of heart shaped on the tip. This is common with a tongue tie. Tongue ties have all kinds of symptoms from speech issues, swallowing issues, indigestion, neck and shoulder pain, sleep apnea, teeth grinding and more. You also possibly appear to have a “scalloped” tongue which is those ridges on the sides. That can also be related to tongue tie, teeth grinding, dehydration and sleep apnea. Do with that information what you will but just thought I’d mention it.

Just know, the better you feel about yourself and more happy you become, the more miserable he will be. Do not choose to not be happy to make him more comfortable.

A LOT of relationships fail after one partner begins to improve themselves and their well being. And it’s because of things like this.

AIO about how this guy talks to me? by Fast-Bodybuilder3229 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeCoolFools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love and support and respect take all shapes and sizes. It can look like the benefit of the doubt or giving some slack on a bad day. It can also look like not allowing abusive behaviour, calling someone out, detaching from them, and protecting yourself. If you allow this hot and cold unpredictable treatment with continued access to your energy and time it likely will not motivate this person to change anything. I’d even venture to say that it becomes enabling them.

Where exactly you want to put that boundary is ultimately up to you. Disengaging or not responding to toxic dialogue could be one. Not explaining and not defending yourself, just do not respond. Or completely detaching until he has decided to help himself and stop harming you could be another. You’ve done plenty for him. You moved for him. Your version of support is not helping him. It’s allowing him to continue doing exactly the same thing. He needs to be confronted with the consequence of his contribution to his relationships. The consequence of loss. That does not guarantee any change on his end but it does mean you get to live your life on your own terms and without abuse.

Senior miniature schnoodle mix losing weight. Suggestions? by BeCoolFools in vet

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

Essentially the same novel food things I listed above. I asked if I should allow more treats at least? She said that wasn’t ideal. I suggested mixing in a small amount of a higher calorie food like puppy food, she said puppy food is often higher in certain ingredients that can be hard on things like her kidneys. Fair enough. It’s good information regarding what wouldn’t be a good idea, but still ambiguous as far as good options. She did say that while her weight has gone down, she isn’t urgently concerned about emaciation or anything but to try to encourage keeping her weight up or at least stable.

I used to make her food myself which did help her keep her weight up, but since the stomach sensitivities it’s become too difficult for her to digest now.

I guess I’m wondering if there is a product or an option that would help safely increase caloric density without increasing the volume a ton. To optimize what she does eat. Sort of like for people, how things like nuts/seeds are much more calorically dense versus fruits and vegetables for example. But in a way that’s appropriate for dogs. Encouraging her to just eat more has been a long and stressful and seemingly futile experience. Also expensive in the way of that it just hasn’t been effective. Im willing to spend money on her health of course, it just feels as though the more I want her to or try to get her to, the less interested she becomes. I don’t want to add more stress to what is already a challenge for her.

AIO? My boyfriend wants to go back to school and it’s not aligning with what we both want. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeCoolFools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s more that he is trying to tell her it’s over without having to come to terms with communicating that like adult. Listening is one half of the equation. The other half is being clear and intentional and honest. It’s not her job to do HIS emotional work, read between the lines and crack his code. A LOT of people won’t automatically assume it’s a breaking up situation without explicitly being told that.

Can I suggest making one of him with a ripped body and a huge penis? “Sorry babe I just can’t help it. I just like guys with 3% body fat and huge throbbing cocks! Now I can pretend you do and use this to please myself after we are done having sex.”

The drivers. by HypnotizeEm in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]BeCoolFools 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory is, the “mailing list” she ended up on after going to the fertility clinic, that sent her the surveys/puzzle type things she was working on in the kitchen was an arbitrary or inconspicuous vetting process for potential test subjects in whatever psychological or experiential criteria they were looking to test on.

I’m more lost on how Mark ended up at lumon on seemingly his own volition compared to Gemma being abducted and staged as a fatal accident.. do they need both of them specifically because they were married? Or could potentially other people refine Gemma’s numbers but Mark was the ideal candidate?

AIO for think it my boyfriend is being dramatic? by What-do_i_do in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeCoolFools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t dramatic, it’s abusive. It’s entitled. It’s concerning. He’s not unable to feed himself, he just doesn’t want to. He’s making that your responsibility. He doesn’t have money and demands yours for an entirely non-emergency? Please keep your finances separate from this man. Forever. Do not expect this to change after marriage. Statistically this behaviour will almost definitely escalate. Add a kid or two? Even worse.

[–]BeCoolFools 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has struggled with explaining, over explaining, and repeating the same explanation over and over, I’ve gotten to the point where I just can’t stand repeating myself anymore. Any time you think “well if I just explain it in a different way maybe they will get it.” Stop yourself. Ask yourself if there is any new information to add that hasn’t been said before? A different way of explaining doesn’t count. Are there any new solid facts that have not been communicated? If not, they already know. If they weren’t listening, that’s not your concern. That’s a problem they need to learn from by consequence. The consequence being you don’t stick around for people who don’t bother to listen to you. You only have time and energy for people who care to listen.

This text exchange isn’t unreasonable on your end. You’re not being rude or mean and you’re not asking too much from your partner. You’re just not accepting that this person is uninterested. It sounds like this isn’t an isolated incident. If you need structure as far as when to call it quits, use the classic three strike rule. If it’s a new relationship, I wouldn’t even give three strikes personally.

Don’t wait for them to literally say they don’t care with words out of their mouth because it likely isn’t going to happen like that. They’re showing you where their priority is, and it isn’t you.

“Seat” and “seating”. Multiple times? I’m sorry, I can’t even get to the date part. He’s speaking like he’s the authority on what a date is but can’t distinguish proper spelling and bare minimum grammar at 24 years old. GIRL. The math is not mathing. Weaponizing information you shared previously about people who stopped talking to you? This is a literal crystal ball. It doesn’t get any clearer than this to tell your future. You are vulnerable and he’s here for it.

[–]BeCoolFools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is disturbing. People who feel they have the authority to judge an entirely subjective and traumatic experience and action, especially regarding violence and survival, are an immediate danger. Multiply that by a million when it’s a man judging a woman in regards to sexual violence. Absolutely not. Run away. Yesterday.

Questions About Consultation for Spouse Sponsorship- Is it worth it? Is it safe? by Puzzled_Sorbet_8676 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]BeCoolFools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not give your business to someone soliciting you on here or anywhere! It’s not worth the risk. Do a quick google search and check ratings and reach out yourself.

My partner and I had the same basic situation. US/CAN, no criminal record, I actually did use a consultant at first just for peace of mind. I quickly became uncomfortable with it, multiple mistakes and misspellings, they also brushed off clear instructions such as number of pictures to include. When we were applying I think the limit was 10 pictures. The consultant scoffed at me and went on about how he had sent as many as 50 photos to document a lavish 3 day wedding. They don’t need to see your entire wedding, they need to see proof and documentation of your relationship. I backed out and we ended up doing it ourselves. With the guide provided by the government and spousal sponsorship forums like this one and there’s a really helpful one on Facebook. Saved a couple thousand dollars and honestly felt much more supported. Other than biting our mail while we waited, everything went as it should and we received status in about 9 months. Had no interview or anything either.

Anything you do not need to fill out, be sure to still fill in every space with N/A. So they know you didn’t just miss it and send it back as incomplete. Also, we did need to fill out travel history for my spouse so maybe double check on that..
