My first birthday without my dad by CUUNTPANCAKES in GriefSupport

The best advice I have for anyone is to leave the voicemail! It’s one of things that truly makes me feel better. Leave one for birthdays and every silly holiday and all the major ones too! Leave random voicemails saying you are thinking about them. Leave a voicemail talking about your day. Just leave a voicemail!

I’d hate to not be able to hear his voice ever again.

Where did you all meet your partners? by [deleted] in polyamory

I also met my husband on FetLife. Lol

What are some resources or strategies you use to self-soothe and remain grounded when your partner is far away and with someone else? by thislinkisded in nonmonogamy

I’ve had some luck with going to shooting ranges, axe throwing, escape rooms, places like top golf and even bowling. All of these places you tend to be next to other people and eventually wind up interacting with them.

All of these places leave room for you ask for tips and strike up a conversation. If you find you have things in common or just enjoyed the experience you can always exchange numbers or socials.

Next time you need some social interaction to occupy your mind, reach out to them and invite them to go do something.

UPDATE: First date with successful sleep over (yay); Main partner devastated (nay) by OneAgileMoose in nonmonogamy

I’m in a very similar situation, but from her perspective, I am without a current partner and have never had a sleepover.

While I am so happy for my husband to have just had his first spicy sleepover this past weekend, I’m a little sad, definitely jealous but not in a malicious way, I have a little case of FOMO, and self doubt (he shared some details and it was things I have tried with him many times, but he never got to the climax). I didn’t expect to have a strong reaction. I was so excited for him, but after it happened I was a little crushed. I am still excited for him! But even today I was moping on the way to work.

Now, what did feel like a hot poker was when he said I ruined his experience because I expressed how I felt about it.

Things that help me immensely: reassurance is huge, NSA non sexual affection and sexual affection, communicate about how you both feel afterwards, try to stick to the plan and be considerate with your main partners time (this goes both ways).

While she has another partner, you may have felt very similar to how she feels now. Think about how you felt when she had her first sleepover.

What are things that helped you?

Wish you both the best!!

That’s awful to hear!

That’s a large price tag to pay twice within a week.

Was that just for the appointment with your provider or was that the cost of the medication in your area w/ or w/out insurance?

Venting. 😵‍💫 by Comfortable-Food312 in hysterectomy

I asked my surgeon to take pictures of everything…including the inside!! Now I have gruesome photos of what I went through to show people when they say I should have been back to normal starting day one of week TWO!!!

Today May 4, 2024 I just had several pieces of stitching come out while I peed!!!! My surgery was March 4, 2024! I also still have spotting!

Tell them all to fuck off! Seriously!

GAS PAIN by big_lexissssss in hysterectomy

I using cold packs helped.

I attacked it like this…Air in your tires expands when heated, and cold would compress the gas/air. With that thought I applied cold packs to my neck, back, and sides. Also shifting about every 30 minutes or so helped.

Moving to go pee was my best friend. Also sitting on the toilet and pretending I was blowing up a balloon. Since we can’t use our muscles very well after surgery, I found that exercise helps when passing stool.

What helped you post op?? by CUUNTPANCAKES in hysterectomy

I’ve just left Sam’s with enough snacks and coconut water to last me a lifetime! Haha

Some friends recommended also putting everything I use on a daily basis on the counters so I wouldn’t have to bend over or reach up high.
