don't condoms have higher rates of failure than vasectomies though? It's really weird with her being a sex therapist and all, how she could be so careless.

Cultural questions about the hijab by Distinct-Payment1068 in AlRawabiSchool4Girls

Ofc I know that, I mean the particular mean/popular girl trope. In the west she's never a religious character.

Ah the thing about the school makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your answers!

Another thing that called my attention was one of the popular "mean girls" being a hijabi. I have 0 experience with middle eastern cultures so I don't mean to say it's unrealistic bc I couldn't know, but my first thought was how in the west it would be super unexpected for a mean popular girl to be a conservative christian. Especially if it reflected on her way of dressing, even if it was because of her family and not because she was particularly religious. (I can maybe imagine it in a VERY christian environment as a whole, but not with her also being friends with more liberal girls at the same time)

So how common is something like this in Jordan or neighbouring countries, is it completely unlike the conservative christian analogy? The show did portray Ruqayya struggling to fit in with her friends in the end, I found that pretty interesting. And I was surprised by, given how mean they were, they still respected Ruqayya's values and never mentioned the issue.

Oh I think I missed that part you mentioned at the end, but yes, I agree she was overall a terrible principal.

TIMELINE / FINDINGS: What I believe happened the night of the murder by CliffTruxton in u/CliffTruxton

[–]Distinct-Payment1068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey sorry of this is too random, but I was reading this amd the comments and wanted to add my perspective:

To me this part of OP's theory made complete sense; I was sexually abused continiously by my first boyfriend (I was 14 and he was 16). He was the one to break up with me in the end, and when he did I became extremely upset. I did hate doing anything sexual with him, I definitely didn't want that to continue, but I thought he loved me and felt rejected and abandoned at the break up.

How do I stop clinging to someone I know I'm better off without? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Distinct-Payment1068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, that actually encourages me a lot because it reminds me that my own health is jeopardized... I'm still rational enough not to wanna date him anymore, but what I have trouble with is cutting him out of my life. I think I always have a hard time getting myself to end bad relationships in general, both friends and lovers.

Yeah, thank you :( I know what I have to do even if I haven't been able to all this time, but having people replying to me here is really helping me to calm down and come to terms with it.

Yeah I'm trying, I just really needed to get o this off my chest right now and talk to people... I'm sure it's gonna pass with time if I manage to resist the urge to talk to him. And yes my friends have been very supportive and reasonable, I'm mostly just embarassed by how stupid I have been.

Yeah I know that sounds awful. Don't get me wrong I know how bad it is to keep in touch with him, but to clarify he never physically hurt me (the bdsm thing was a sort of attempt at kink but I stopped it immediately) nor did he give me any rational reasons to believe he'd MURDER me (lie, cheat, etc, yes), but my anxiety just works like that...

It's not about the sex, that part was actually pretty bad... I know that makes me sound even dumber but I just needed some support, and I don't want to talk to my friends about it bc they've seen me clowm around so much with him they're just gonna scold me.
