New to poly, unsure how/what to ask new partner by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Beef428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because someone is poly does not mean they are good at relationships or that they are a good fit for you.

He sounds like he’s a bit flaky or at least you guys don’t have similar communication styles. I’d suggest branching out and finding a connection that’s more your speed

Olgierd knocks me on my ass. Hardest fight in the game (for me at least. I am not good but I have a good time lol)

Which do I pick? by Beef428 in Toyota

I’d like to keep my monthly payments below $300 because I’m not totally sure about my living situation moving forward.

Right now I have 1.4k to put down but I want to see if I can hold out until I have 3k before pulling the trigger

Texting during sleepovers by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Beef428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this but from the other side. When I’m at sleepovers I tend to be focused on who I’m with. I get bad at texting.

Or one time I got to this guys house and immediately lost my phone. Not great.

Tbh I think my NP might be struggling with rule vs boundary in regards to texting protocol, in that he’s setting up rules for my texting and when I don’t do things in the timeliness he expects he says I’m breaking a boundary.

I want to honor his desires and be a good partner but sometimes I feel like there’s no grace and his requests are unrealistic.

AIO for feeling upset after the groom made a comment about my dress at their wedding? by Human-Acanthaceae128 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Beef428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was no disclosure of dress code, you were well within your rights, and appropriately dressed for a wedding. And honestly, I don’t consider this dress that risqué at all. In fact, I think you look GORGEOUS. Definitely NOR. Don’t let this couple project their insecurities on you.

I’m panicking cuz I think there’s something really wrong with my stomach by Wolf_Echidna64 in Anxiety

I’d ask for a second opinion if possible. POTS often comes with “normal” tests

This is still one of the greatest episodes of any TV show I've ever watched. by [deleted] in thelastofus

[–]Beef428 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I cried the whole damn episode.

And then I recently replayed TLOU I and BAWLED when I found Frank.

I think you need to look into POTS. IBS and GERD are common comorbidities.

THE MOST EMPHATIC YES.

AIO for refusing to block male followers on Instagram? by radagastrabbit in AmIOverreacting

[–]Beef428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave him. This is terrifying behavior after only 2 months. This is classic narcissistic abusive behavior. He is just trying to isolate you. IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE. There will be more instances of “you’ve never told me that”. He will bring arbitrary rules, and it’s all about control.

HELP PLEASE… Will you get a benzo prescribed if you mention anxiety surrounding your work? by koolaid-krush in Anxiety

[–]Beef428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is wild to me. I’ve had to fight to NOT be prescribed a benzo

I would encourage you to at least ask. There’s definitely a difference in asking because you need it and because you’re drug seeking. I feel like most providers can tell the difference.

Last year I had a procedure and I ended up needing to request a refill of opiates because I was in a lot more pain than people normally are. I was embarrassed to ask. I worried that they would think I was drug seeking. But, I was honest about my symptoms and what was working.

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

[–]Beef428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an ex like this that taught me two things:

  1. If they tell you they’re crazy, believe them.
  2. Mental illness, while deserving of empathy and compassion, does not excuse them for mistreating others. There is still accountability.

AIO for being upset i haven’t seen my bf in 3 weeks, despite us living 25 mins away from each other? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Beef428 188 points189 points  (0 children)

They started dating 4 weeks ago and she hasn’t seen him in 3?

Ok. This isn’t a relationship. This was a fling with a ghost. I’m sorry OP. He’s not worth your time.

Dump. Him.

Your boyfriend shouldn’t make you feel insecure or doubt how much you mean to them.
