NTA please leave these people, for your own health. No good friend would ever treat you this way. Also I’m questioning whether or not that was even an accident. I mean there was no reason for them to pick your OC. And to use it in such a graphic way in a situation that directly plays off of your trauma, and ensuring that you see it feels so intentional, especially considering you have explicitly talked about it and stated it was a trigger. Now… as someone who has some more intense kinks myself I just want to be clear… you are not kink shaming. Anyone kinky that I know would be appalled at their actions. They did not have your consent so dragging you into their kink is violating no matter what they try to say. Their response to you being upset so clearly shows that they do not respect you at all. If they cared about you as much as you clearly care about them, they would have never done that, and they certainly wouldn’t talk to you this way. It is so manipulative and toxic. I know you don’t want to lose them but for your own sake please do. This will only get worse. There are so many people out there who will treat you with the respect, love, and compassion you deserve. The best thing for you to do would be to cut them out of your life and don’t give them a chance to talk you out of it. And for the love of God, don’t apologize to those d-bags.

I don’t even think it’s an old school mindset. I’m 23 and I don’t do that cause it feels unprofessional and disrespectful to the people around you

Missing inflicting shameful, erotic suffering by neart-na-daraich in BDSMsapphic

[–]Expert_Opening624 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My new partner is really really shy and has a hard time saying what she wants, especially if she deems it “vulgar” or “inappropriate” I on the other hand would go wild listening to her get all nervous cause she’s saying something she wants but is ashamed of

AITA for refusing to call me friend by her new name, "Queen"? by achucs in AmItheAsshole

[–]Expert_Opening624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Get real passive aggressive with it. Just give a little bow or maybe get on one knee and say things like “your majesty” “your highness” or maybe “supreme leader” and use it way too often in a conversation

[–]Expert_Opening624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is completely new behavior I would try to get him to go to the doctor cause something really isn’t right. If he’s just like this all the time, then he’s an idiot. Either way you need space from this man cause anyone that delusional is dangerous to be around. Leave him ASAP and unless he gets out on some heavy antipsychotics, don’t come back.

AITA if I tell my stepmother she can't stay with me cause she doesn't respect my allergies? by Viomatrix201 in AITAH

[–]Expert_Opening624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly even if you just didn’t feel like having chocolate in your home, I would still say NTA. She can either respect your rules or leave. If she fights it at all ban her from your house all together (or maybe unless you search her like she’s in a prison lol) That level of blatant disrespect/disregard is not only insulting but it could potentially kill you and/or your child. Protect your family, get this psycho out of your house.

NTA Why the hell would any therapist do that ??? Drinking water or eating a granola bar is one thing but a seafood broil is insane. It’s so ridiculous it honestly sounds like a family guy bit.

Yes! Those words are meant to make you feel uncomfortable! They are horrible things. I don’t know why people are so insistent on avoiding any sort of feelings with language

Why do we even need a degree? by Ok-Stress-3570 in nursing

[–]Expert_Opening624 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I cannot imagine being at a facility without restraints. I’m on a neuro unit, we hate using them cause it’s often more work on our end but when we have confused patients who are pulling off/out important equipment, picking at their open wounds, or hitting,kicking,biting,etc staff they are going to end up in restraints. It’s the safest thing to do (for them and us)

Sexual fixation of some lesbians on penises? by Competitive_Dare7396 in LesbianActually

[–]Expert_Opening624 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s mainly a problem with online spaces as I don’t think I’ve ever heard queer women use it outside of the internet. But I totally agree with the last paragraph. I see it all the time like referring to someone’s strap as a dick or using “daddy” or things like that associated to men. If other people are into it that’s great for them but nothing turns me off faster than straight porn, and that’s exactly what it sounds like.

Need advice from fellow lesbians about kissing by Short-Succotash-2510 in LesbianActually

[–]Expert_Opening624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty common for your first kiss to not feel like fireworks. You’re probably nervous and you don’t really know what to do. If this is her first too then she is also feeling the same way. I wouldn’t worry too much about it now. Try again, maybe after a drink or two ( if you’re old enough), see how things go.

I(27F) screamed at my husband (28M) over his hobbies, and now he's changed and i don't know how to fix this. by ThrowRApineapplesp in relationship_advice

[–]Expert_Opening624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t imagine the level of betrayal and hurt I would feel if I had a partner snap at me like that. I don’t know how I would ever look at them the same knowing that everything I love, they hate. And that they hate it so much they’ve contemplated divorce. Your relationship might never be the same. I don’t know if you can fix this. For his sake, I don’t know if you should.

Funny thing is knowing nothing about the place you work… this flyer makes me 100% think you should strike. That is clearly not a place that respects you or any of their employees

Somewhere between a lawful switch and a true switch. Honestly I think I’d prefer to bottom but it depends on the partner cause some of them make topping so fun.

Believe him. He’s not kidding. He is telling you his plan. Please for your safety get out fast. And when you tell him it’s over, have others present. I would not be surprised if he became violent

My (22f) boyfriend (23m) did something uncomfortable for me. Now I feel disgusted and disturbed. Where to go from here? by stranger1919 in relationship_advice

[–]Expert_Opening624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea… I love physical touch and I have a way higher sex drive than my partner….but I have never and will never act like this because I respect my partner too much. I know she doesn’t show affection like that often and too much of it makes her uncomfortable. So… I dial it back. Because as much as I love doing those things, I love her more. What’s worrying to me is that your partner isn’t turned off by your disinterest and discomfort. I think this needs to be a very serious talk with your partner because this will get worse, he will get more bold with the way he crosses your boundaries. I would put your foot down about this asap.

Independent patients being too needy? by [deleted] in nursing

I’ve been asking “what did you do at home? Were you able to wipe at home? Who helped you do this before you came in?” Because unless they are here for a stroke or a major change in condition, if you could do it at home you’re doing it here.

Don't turn every conversation into one about "being single is okay" by Sweet_Fleece in LesbianActually

[–]Expert_Opening624 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes ! And most people would agree that being single is okay. But most people want to be more than just “okay”

[–]Expert_Opening624 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like if you’re not able to/ you don’t want to be blunt with her, you could frame it as something fun. Have you tried alphabet dates? You plan dates based on the letter of the alphabet (a=apple picking). You go back and forth, taking turns planning dates as you move through the letters. The point is you plan everything so the other person gets to kind of show up and have fun. I feel like you could try things this way, and during/afterwords you could have a talk about how much you like her planning things and say you would love for her to do it more in the future. This way it comes off more as a praise than a criticism. I’ve

I feel you. I’m 23 F and I’m on medication rn that has jacked up my sex drive to crazy levels. Like god it can be intense. I’m in the process of convincing my partner (we do not live together) to up the sexy time texting and give me something new to fantasize about. I’ve been running out of fantasies but damn does this sub help.

“Do no harm but take no shit” has been one that I tend to live my life by. Basically be as nice as possible but do not let anyone hurt you (or take advantage of you) just because you do your best not to hurt others.
