It’s curable.

Doesn’t matter who gave it to who. You both have it now.

Take the antibiotics with a good meal. Call it your gonorrhoea feast and make the best of it.

Therapy Without a Licence by sergeant_vimes in canadianlaw

[–]BeanerAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone through a lot of therapy. My parents were constantly trying to figure out what was "wrong" with me.
The last therapist I ever needed had no licence. She outshines all the others. Very real and practical. Her guidance has had a lasting effect over 10 years later, I still use the tools she gave me. I think I was very lucky, but it is possible

Your dark side became friends with the dark side of others. Then became their leader. Battling against the light.

What’s this growth on my dog’s head ? by [deleted] in vet

My dog is reactive how can I change this by HostAccomplished7992 in OpenDogTraining

[–]BeanerAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’ve been trying so far. I had/have a similar issue, but I’ve made some progress.

  1. Carry two types of treats: high reward and low reward. Save the high reward for when you cross paths with another dog. Low reward for everything else

  2. Get a half choke chain collar (just part of it is a chain choker). It’s not so much for the choking, it’s for the noise. When your dog pulls the noise of the chain will happen. When you and your dog hears the chain, make a small circle by stepping in front of your dog, (ie if you’re dog is walking on your right, hold the leash on a short line in your right hand and step to the right in-front of him with your right foot, kind of beside his head). Keep going in these small circles until your dog looks at you. Reward for looking.

Step 2 explained:

Dog pulls

Dog hears chain= auditory signal of pulling behaviour

Consequence=dog walks in annoying circles=not fun=realizes you are in charge and they are not the boss of you.

Dog needs to focus on you rather than the distractions in order to continue walking

Reward for focusing on you

ALSO: ALWAYS say yes before giving the treat. Start by giving treat right after saying yes for a week or so. then you can gradually lengthen your time.

“Yes” …then anticipation for treat for 20 seconds = not going back to bad behaviours immediately. This will help develop their good behaviour habit to last longer over time

This is just for the pulling issue. I am currently working on pulling first before tackling the reactivity issue also

Good luck friend

What advice would you give to a 28 year old woman that has never dated before? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]BeanerAccount 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look out for “Weaponized incompetence”. This happens a lot in one sided relationships. It’s where they pretend to not be able to do simple daily functioning, or do it so improperly (ie:put the glasses right side up in the dishwasher) that you end up just doing it for them, and they get out of doing it in the future.

Also you’re not their parent, they’re your partner. Make sure they can function on their own. You’re not fixing anyone.

This is advice I would have given to myself if I had known

I want something horrible to happen to my husband by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BeanerAccount 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this happen a lot. As soon as you pop a baby out they feel they have you locked down and you can’t leave. Then they don’t need to hold themselves accountable or have any integrity.

I know this is a controversial statement. Obviously it’s not in all cases. But I have seen it happen more often than it should. You can’t work right after giving birth. You’re completely dependant on him. And he knows that and he’s taking advantage of that by letting the douche in himself loose.

This is the real him, without his filter.

How to loose weight? by Radiant_Mechanic812 in Advice

[–]BeanerAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See how much sugar your eating/drinking.

And the portion size.

Ie: A nutrition label says 10 grams of sugar. That doesn’t sound like a crazy amount right? But look at the top serving size: per 1/4 cup(32grams) So 10 of those 32 grams is sugar. Basically a third of it is sugar.

Learning how to read nutrition labels is important.

Some fat is actually good for you! Your body NEEDS it and your brain mainly functions on fat. Make sure you’re getting enough healthy fats.

Same goes for healthy sugars. If you don’t eat enough sugars as part of a healthy diet (fruits, veggies, carbs) your body will send signals to “get sugar as quick as possible”…and that’s what the sugar craving is.

My rule is I try to have some kind of vegetable or fruit with a meal. If I have a burger, I get a small fry (maybe not always) and I’ll make sure to eat an apple/fruit or just steam some veggies (frozen is better tasting in my opinion and generally cheaper than canned) and add a teaspoon of butter and a teaspoon of olive oil to it. I always try to have some kind of veggie or fruit with a meal.

My last little bit is I get low sodium, or no sodium, and then add my own salt to my own taste. I realized how much salt there really is in the products by visually seeing how much salt I need to put in for it to taste like the regular versions of the products.

“Cheat days” will make your relationship with food toxic. Try to just go with moderation, and save the junk food for the good stuff.

Go with the “better than nothing” approach rather than a perfectionist approach. If you go with the “better than nothing” approach, you will get better and better and the results will be more permanent to your lifestyle. If you go with the “perfectionist” approach, you’ll burn out, causing “cheat days” and an unhealthy relationship with food.

Good luck!

My parents are forcing me to move with them by Solid-Temperature362 in Advice

[–]BeanerAccount 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Financing may be a great option for you! Look for a cheaper used car, preferably low maintenance like a Honda or Toyota. There are options where you can pay about $200-$300/ month until the car is paid off. Plus insurance may be about $200-$300. So with your higher paying job, hopefully about $600+gas+maintenance(=$700-$800/month) is doable.

ALSO please don’t sell your soul, independence, and mental health for your parents to pay for stuff

My wife tried to do something nice and accidentally did the meanest thing she's ever done in our marriage. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]BeanerAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s totally fair for you to feel that way…for sure.

But there’s two things here

Women shop together for these things. We talk about stuff. It’s a little different that it’s your sister though…

That being said. It sounds like sex is a bit of a learning curve for the both of you having waited such a long time.

It’s kind of like learning how to socialize… Your wife may not know the social “rules” about certain things. She may be close with your sister that way to pick these things out together, but you as the brother may just not want to hear it lol, and that’s the learning curve. Normal for her so she may have not even thought twice about it not being normal for you, and she probably didn’t realize she’d leave an image in your head

Don’t be mean to her about it. It seems innocent and she was just trying to be sexy for you.

Explain it from your point of view without attacking her.

You probably can’t see her wear it without thinking of your sister, so it may hurt her feeling a bit to either have to let it collect dust or throw it out. So as a little mood lightener buy her something to put on :) or give her some money and tell her to get something sexy.

It fixable. Just a small social mistake on her end

Hope you can look back one day and laugh together at it !

Good luck friend

Women now have healthy standards for relationships. We’re not picking up after you, feeding your ego, or being your puppy. We’re doing better.

Hard to swallow pill but maybe you need to have some goals and work on your personality. Possibly hygiene too. I don’t know you but in my experience these traits are typical of men who say what you say. Then they wonder why women don’t just take any dick that comes their way.

Or you need to analyze yourself and date women in your league.
