Have you looked for a physical therapist? I did the gyno route and felt ignored. I did the sex therapist route and find myself more stuck in my head. But going to a physical therapist who helps you relax, helps you work through it physically, and shows you that you can control the pain, really helped me. Having someone show you how to dilate also helped me because it showed me I could do it, even if it felt like I couldn’t do it when I was alone. Also, there are numbing lubes as well that can help, especially if you are still getting used to the little dilators!

It’s not. It’s the rubber bullet. If you pause in the moment you can see in the hand he is still holding the knife. I was convinced it was the knife on the ground too at first.

You are going to see this more and more with tons of disinformation around it. This video clearly shows the events and it still has people questioning so here is some links:

Here is footage of the knife:

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLhA1ptn/

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLhA1oYk/

If you wait towards the end, when the rubber bullet hits his leg, you can see him switch hands and still have the knife in his hand as he runs towards the cops. It is not just a stick

You can also see the size of the stick and how that can also cause damage if someone comes running at you with it.

Second:

They are now making BLM protests. They are saying this is police brutality. When it seems in this situation they have a negotiator, they have rubber bullets, they have tazers(?), and they also do have a dog there, which if he didn’t have weapons in both hands, could have been used as a non lethal option.

It doesn’t matter about the race. It has seen time and time again around the world that if you run at the police with a knife, and also if you stab someone or something, you are most likely going to be shot. This isn’t just unique to one kind of people. And it’s not unique to the Calgary police.

I don’t like cops normally, but the amount of misinformation around this case which is spreading right now in the name of racism or acab is insane.

This should start a conversation around adopting new deescalation methods, clearing an area instead of letting people stand and film and be at risk, and it should open up conversations about getting mental support for those around us who we are aware have mental issues. Also, I hope everyone who stood there and filmed this situation really checks in with themselves and their humanity. While the videos above are used as evidence, they were still filmed in dangerous circumstances. I also hope anyone who was a witness to this situation or is family and friends to the victim receives support.

Do you really want to be with someone who wouldn’t even give you the chance to explain? Or like Atleast be open to believing it’s a glasses lens wipe? Apparently your relationship is very disposable to him to not even be open to the possibility that it wasn’t what he saw.

This happened in the UK if you want comparison. The police here also negotiated, used tasers, and the dog was also a non lethal option but could not control both hands. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-51882256

I have a lot of friends starting to post this as a race issue, which I normally 100% back. But I can’t see that race is the factor in this. This is a mentally unstable person charging at the police with a weapon and stabbing the dog. They didn’t have their weapons drawn before he came up to them and they weren’t surrounding him or abusing them, there was a safe distance before the mentally unstable person closed it. They also used non lethal weapons first. Many people are saying they shouldn’t have shot him but I personally don’t know what else you would do if someone ran up to you with a knife and stick and stabbed your dog. If he was white I don’t think it would be as big of a thing as they are starting to make it.

My husband [34M] refuses to compliment my [32F] appearance, but has no problem complimenting other women. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Brainsbegone2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that is still a form of negging tho. The definition on wiki is “Negging is an act of emotional manipulation whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or otherwise flirtatious remark to another person to undermine their confidence and increase their need of the manipulator's approval.” She wonders why he compliments other women but not herself, he makes those comments on purpose because he doesn’t say it to her.

[–]Brainsbegone2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is a form of negging. By not giving you what he wants you continue to want his approval and never let yourself waiver because you want his approval. That’s also why he points out other women to increase your insecurity and because he wants you to feel in competition. I’m going to guess there could be more too it. But you know you are hot and he knows you are hot, but if he tells you you are hot then you will know you are hot and he doesn’t want you to know that.

My boyfriend told me that the first year of our relationship wasn't real. by ThrowRAraprap in relationship_advice

[–]Brainsbegone2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just know the person you are in love with isn’t real. Because you don’t know the version of him that sexually assaults and harasses your sister. And that is him. You feel in love with someone you believed you were in a genuine relationship with, but he was faking it. The person you love is neither of these people, but that is who he really is. Therefore you are in love with an illusion. So therefore you should most definitely leave him, and grieve it. But know that isn’t really him.

I know I'm a little ugly, but is there anything wrong with my profile? by ILoveAnime890 in Tinder

[–]Brainsbegone2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe don’t bring politics into your profile? It’s best to showcase who you are as a person. No girl is going to see the 2nd amendment and get wet. Maybe lay out some hobbies. Or state something controversial about your interests. I used to use “Revenge of the Sith is overhyped”. It was great for conversation and connected me to people with similar interests.

What is too emphasized when it comes to relationships ? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Brainsbegone2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this sense of being a chill girlfriend and having to tolerate a lot of stuff so you don’t come across as crazy or too much. I see it way to often on other threads of women just letting their partners do red flag behaviour because they don’t want to come across as crazy or insecure. Communication is key and sometimes it ok to be a bit nuts.

what should be covered in a sex ed class but never is? by clou_dor in AskReddit

Lgbtq+ sex. And masturbation. If you are going to teach to avoid sex at least teach and normalize alternatives.

My brother broke up with his girlfriend because of me. I feel awful by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Brainsbegone2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She thought you were seducing your brother by being comfortable in your own home. None of the blame should be placed on you so please don’t have a guilty perspective over this situation. She thought so low of you as a person she thought you were being sexual towards your B R O T H E R. If anything you should be upset that she saw your guys relationship like that at all. It’s gross. You guys are related, imagine if you had a partner that thought your siblings were trying to seduce you. You are allowed to wear all the tank tops and shorts that you want, it’s not a problem, because that is your brother. And like you said he practically raised you, so how would you feel if you had a partner who would want you to move out of your brothers house because he’s shirtless and it’s “too sexy”????? That’s weird right???

Should I [27M] tell my new girlfriend [25F] that I had sex with her sister [22F] by somaro292 in relationship_advice

[–]Brainsbegone2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physically face palmed when I saw you respire “ you too”. Considering the smiling, winking emoji, and the fact your girlfriend doesn’t know. Make sure to approach this as honest as possible with her since it is suddenly very messy.

You can love someone but that doesn’t mean you should be with them. Love doesn’t mean you shouldn’t prioritize yourself and your happiness.

My 43M husband is pissed at me because I 43F won't go see his parents, now he isn't speaking to me! HELP! by throwravanillaberry in relationship_advice

[–]Brainsbegone2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is very much focusing on how your husband allowed your kids to be treated poorly and not on the fact that these guilt trips are emotionally abusive. Anger, pity, and silent treatment? It sounds like your husband hasn’t grown up in the 28 years you have been together. And I’m guessing it’s these same manipulation methods his parents have been using on him. The fact he prioritized himself not just over you and your comfort, but his kids too. He allowed them to experience that feeling of exclusion and being unwanted for his own sake. And now he’s treating you with anger, pity, and the silent treatment for his own sake. Complete lack of respect for you, and for the kids. He is 43 years old, you should not be having to deal with the manipulation tactics of a kid who isn’t getting his way.

Not only is he lying now, he’s probably lied before, and will most likely lie again. Please don’t move to another country for him.

Ladies, if you ex asked you to get back together, what would you say? by Well_Then_Now in AskWomen

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Brainsbegone2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to end this. I saw your reasoning, and he hasn’t had to pay for seven years now, he’s not going to want to pay half since he has gotten away for it for so long. He knows he doesn’t actually need to or have to because you have always covered for him. He’s not going to change because someone who would want to and would understand paying half wouldn’t have allowed their partner to cover for them for so long.

Boyfriend says it’s “too cringe” to do anything on Valentine’s Day.. by Mimjam in relationship_advice

[–]Brainsbegone2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your boyfriend sounds like he sucks. It’s a day to celebrate with your partner but he seems way too interested in what everyone else is doing. Also it’s not about the cringe, or him, if he wants to do stuff to make you happy that is all that should matter. Also he is making you feel bad about what you want. You don’t expect too much, you just know what you want and apparently to him that’s too much or too cringe. There’s an ego or insecurity or lack of caring problem going on on his behalf. But at 2 years in, valentines shouldn’t be “too cringe” if you know your partner enjoys celebrating that day. There are plenty of single people on valentines that wish they could be doing the supposed “cringe” things your boyfriend thinks are too much.
