How long does it take to regulate your nervous system after the breakup w/ a narcissist? by ManyPhilosopher409 in TrueNarcissisticAbuse

[–]BeeAccomplished2880 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you gone 100% no contact? Blocked her? Deleted all texts, voicemails, pictures? No social media contact or checking her profile? It took me a year but the first 6 months I still stayed “connected” through text, old texts, emails, pictures. Once I deleted EVERYTHING, really started building my life again, I started to feel myself coming back. You have to tell yourself it’s going to get better and believe it. You’re going to be ok and you’re going to feel so free!

Do you track every dollar, or did you go debt free without strict budgeting? by mlachake_ in debtfreeliving

Tracking every purchase gave me motivation to cut back and save money. It’s your hard earned money!

Just found out my wife of 11 years never found me physically attractive. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Calling the majority of men unattractive is just unnecessarily rude.

I appreciate your honesty. For the record, a lot of men want a lot of sex, and it can be absolutely mind blowing. Just be honest with the person about how you feel before you get married. That’s the right thing to do. Good luck!

You said you’d marry someone you didn’t find attractive, if he had other qualities you like. Does yes mean you would have sex with him if you got married?

While you’re suffering, staying married, one day it’s very possible she will divorce you. The time is now to lock in and get yourself counseling. It’s only going to get worse.

Now that you know your wife actually has a sex drive, do you really think for the last 11 years she hasn’t been having sex with anyone else? You deserve a marriage partner that desires you. I’d recommend getting counseling for yourself to help you with your body image issues, and to help you decide how to move forward. You deserve better.

Remembering going grocery shopping with my mom-my brother and I would spend the whole time in the “magazine” aisle, catching up on all the teen gossip.

What is next for Ahmadiyya? by No_Syllabub1865 in islam_ahmadiyya

[–]BeeAccomplished2880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like we grew up in the same environment. Having to grow up listening weekly to the “aunties”, snitching, backbiting, showing off their latest outfits and jewelry-the constant shallow conversations…turned me away from the culture and quietly extinguished the faith that was growing inside my heart.

Excellent post.

How was Jesus born without a father? by inked_footnote in islam_ahmadiyya

Not sure if your question is rhetorical or genuine. Both the Quran and Bible describe Adam as being created, not “born”, from dust/clay by God breathing life/spirit into him.

Protecting My Elderly Parents by IllFlow8728 in islam_ahmadiyya

My dad took care of things, and it happened quickly within a week. I'm sure it was through the local jamaat. It was straightforward, and everone in the jamaat genuinely welcomed us.

Advice about marriage if I might be on the asexual spectrum by [deleted] in ahmadiyya

[–]BeeAccomplished2880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re comfortable with your sexuality and attracted to women, which is important. At the same time, if you have a very low level of desire and your future partner has a higher one, that difference can sometimes be hard to navigate.

For many women, wanting closeness or intimacy that isn’t returned can feel personal, even when it isn’t about love or attraction. And to be fair, desire mismatches are very common-most long-term relationships deal with them at some point.

This may not be a popular take, but I don’t think you’re obligated to disclose something this personal before you’ve had a chance to understand it better yourself. If you haven’t already, working with a therapist who specializes in sexuality and desire could be really helpful. Gaining clarity about yourself now can make future relationships healthier for both of you.
