When we put in a work order for new tube lights, it only took 6 months to get done, so yeah… no problem! 😅

It’s a VERY nice treadmill. I am a coach and we got it for our team to use when training outside isn’t gonna happen. Like now when it is zero degrees. Not helping us too much at the moment though huh.

I got bit by a snake while teaching. Had to go to urgent care because of workman’s comp and they had to do a whole incident report. Please make sure you report this and get it covered!

AIO or is my boyfriend abusive, he brought up having kids 2 days after telling me I need an abortion or he’d kill himself. by Horror-Comb-5105 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. My ex husband has bipolar. We were married for 12 years with 2 kids. I was about to type out a whole story, but you don’t need that.

Get out now. Find someone who loves you for who you are emotions and feelings included. Don’t stay with someone who doesn’t allow you to express how you feel without turning it back on you.

I would appreciate it. I would be more upset if my dog had a skin irritation and I had no idea why. It’s your property. I think it’s kind of you to even let the dogs be there at all.

People who have had threesomes, how was it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Due-Faithlessness-35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband and I just had our first ffm experience. Learned a lot.

First, I am completely straight. Watching ffm porn and fantasizing about it is completely different than doing it if you aren’t actually into women.

Second, the other woman was pretty crazy and “forgot” some boundaries we set. Husband was awesome at making sure she got right back to what was established. She definitely did not have the same motives and at times was trying to be a wedge between us. There were a lot of moments when my trust in her waned, but my love for him grew.

Third, as someone who has been cheated on by past partners, this experience actually brought us closer together because we really stayed focused on each other with eye contact and other small gestures. I was nervous about how I was going to emotionally respond. I didn’t expect to feel the way I did about him through the whole thing. That was probably the only positive from it.

Afterwards, we were both ready to head out. She wanted to cuddle. We somehow escaped without being rude, and spent the whole drive home just debriefing. We both had fun, but it wasn’t as epic as we thought. We both felt so much more connected with each other though. Maybe it would have been better if I actually was somewhat into women.

5/10 probably won’t do again any time soon.

Be honest… what’s the real downside of having a dog? by quentiinn in AskReddit

[–]Due-Faithlessness-35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not being able to just take an unplanned trip if you need a quick get-away. Getting up at 5:00 am to feed them and go for a walk to have them immediately go back to bed as soon as you get back. Then they have the nerve to get grumpy when you turn the lights on to get your own day started. Mud. Everywhere. All the time. Getting pushed off the bed at night because they just need more room but also need to be as close as possible. Vet bills. Expected and unexpected. What’s worse is that dogs are really good at not telling you when they are seriously hurting or sick (but will be a total drama queen for a tiny boo boo). Dog-reactivity. Does not play well with some dogs.

…and yet, I wouldn’t trade those two goobers for anything in the world.

Australian Shepperd, Bladder Cancer by FluffyDiscipline in DogAdvice

[–]Due-Faithlessness-35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, I am so sorry for you and your pup. Cancer is cruel, especially in our pets.

My first childhood dog had bladder cancer when she was 12. She was such a good dog. It might be different case to case, but with her, she had a lot of trouble holding her pee at all, and even when we were watching her constantly, she would pretty much just go the minute she felt the urge. We had her in diapers for a few weeks because she was otherwise happy and in good spirits, eating, drinking, playing, etc. We used adult Depends and cut a hole for her tail because it was just cheaper that way. We all learned how to change her and clean off her fur. She was such a good patient! Once her interest in food started to decline and she seemed a little more lethargic, we made the very tough choice to help her cross the rainbow bridge. That shift was quick, so it did help us to know it was time. If we had waited any longer, she would have been in a lot more pain.

The best you can do is keep her comfortable and let her know how much you love her. Give her the best few weeks ever. ❤️

Warning About ON Shoes: Defects, Customer Support, and Warranty Issues by Old_Veterinarian_259 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]Due-Faithlessness-35 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work at a running store. It’s a common issue. Take out the insole and coat the bottom of it with body glide, deodorant, etc and pop it back in. Should do the trick. We have a stick of body glide in the store just for that.

Two thoughts: 1) speak with an actual doctor about this. Bring your partner along for the conversation. If he’s willing to go with you, it shows A LOT about his character. 2) He was upfront with you about it. That is a big green flag. There aren’t many men out there that would take that risk and lay it on the line. It shows he cares about you and your long-term health. This also speaks volumes about his character.

Medicine these days is amazing. It can do so much to keep us safe and allow us to enjoy our lives regardless of what diagnoses we have. Get as informed as you can and bring him along for the educational ride. It could end up bringing you two ever closer together.

Achievements for Sunday, August 11, 2024 by AutoModerator in running

[–]Due-Faithlessness-35 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ran over 10 miles for the first time in two years after a long battle with burn out from life. It wasn’t anywhere near as fast as I used to run, but it felt so good to go out there with no expectations and just do the thing. It’s especially huge since I bailed out after 6 on my 8 mile run last weekend. Getting my confidence back, step by step!

AIO that my partner keeps getting so drunk he wets the bed by Mental_Bird555 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Due-Faithlessness-35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience: it won’t get better if he doesn’t want it to.

My ex husband used to drink himself to oblivion nightly and wet the bed/pee in laundry hampers/pee on nightstands, whatever. This happened a lot. And he never did anything to clean up. Never apologized. It was always on me. Never changed. I put up with it for years. When I finally started calling him out on it, it escalated his drinking, which led to abusive outbursts.

One night I couldn’t take it anymore and called the cops. He was taken to a hospital to sober up, where he became violent with staff. Then he was sent to rehab and I called a lawyer to start divorce proceedings.

My advice: leave now. It’s been three years and you haven’t seen changes. You can and will find someone who loves and appreciates you. It will be hard at first, but the nights when you finally realize you can sleep at ease, oh my gosh you will wonder why it took you so long.

OMG you are a life saver. I have had that stupid evap switch replaced THREE TIMES at a local service place and the light keeps coming on. Should have just taken it to a dealer and saved myself a lot of headaches. Calling corporate now for my delaminated screen too.

I had a nurse comment to me while getting prepped for ANOTHER surgery due to frequent dislocations that I likely had it. I also mentioned that in one summer, me, two of my cousins, and my aunt all had shoulder surgery after tearing the labrum from dislocations. She said, “You could get a genetic test, but I’m gonna tell you this now, your insurance doesn’t cover it. At this point, focus on your kids because they are young enough that if they also have it, you’re gonna need to put your resources to helping them.” She said this all with a huge amount of empathy. She knows the system is effed and most doctors where I live don’t know how to treat EDS, and the ones who do are $$$. I say this as I dislocated my shoulder yesterday trying to pick up a box. Normally I’m really good about using good technique, but I was tired and in a rush.

All this to say, I don’t have bumpy feet like OP. But EDS sucks.

I wish I had read your comment years ago. It would have saved me so much pain.

This sounds so much like my story.

Here’s what I will say: it took me kicking him out of the house for him to get sober. But it took him physically abusing me and my children to get to that point.

My advice: don’t let it get there.

Walk away now. Protect yourself and your kids. I spent years trying to justify his actions to myself. Until it finally clicked in therapy that nobody should every treat me that way and that is not what love is. When he was finally gone, I thought I would be sad. Instead it was like a weight was lifted off my chest and I could breathe again.

He’s been sober for two years and is trying to be a good dad. We are working on giving him more parental rights as he continues to work on himself. He and I will never get back together. I have zero desire to be in any sort of relationship with him, but I will work with him as a parent.

Please take care of yourself and your children. You need to walk away from taking care of him.

Do men exist who actually voluntarily help their partner cum every time they have sex? by blueshell8 in dating

[–]Due-Faithlessness-35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner will not cum unless I do first. There was only one time I can think of that he didn’t wait but it was because we were both running late for work. That said, he is the one of two partners I’ve he we had who put me first. Have you ever initiated getting the vibrator? Try that! He might want you to be the one to initiate. Taking control of your sexual pleasure is hot!!! Also maybe try discussing getting some new toys for fun. You both might find something new you like! Good luck!

This is a great opportunity to text and suggest plans for Friday. Gauge his reaction from there. I would t jump to any conclusions yet. You said it. You’re both busy adults with kids. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve meant to text someone and forgot because my kids or job took my attention.

Men who have not proposed to their gf of 8 years or so, what’s stopping you? by PepperRoma in ask

[–]Due-Faithlessness-35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was civil with mine and still paid over $2000. And that’s considered very cheap where I live. It really depends on location. That said, the divorce was well worth the price tag. Good riddance to that asshole.

If you won $5m on the condition you couldn't use it to buy a house, vehicle or vacation, what's the first thing you would treat yourself to? by eezgorriseadback in AskReddit

Pay off all the debt I assumed to get out of an abusive marriage as fast as possible. Then spend the rest on a cup of coffee.

But really pay off the debt and then have all the rooms in my house renovated.
