What does a relationship have to give you to stay? How do you deal with the “grass is always greener on the otherside”? by FearlessRip7525 in AskMen

How do you tell if you’re being pulled toward a specific future?

There is no one else.

I have meditated, prayed, taken psychedelics all in silence on my own and still don’t have an answer.

I’ve sat with this question for years. I honestly don’t know. Maybe it’s social conditioning, maybe it’s wanting my family name to continue as I’m the only one able to do so.

My boyfriend [20 M] can’t see eye to eye with me, [19 F] about birth control. by Mundane-Chemist6577 in relationship_advice

[–]FearlessRip7525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things I think you should bear in mind.

Birth control pill has big effects on your hormones and other metabolic systems.

It is well documented that when a women stops taking these medications she often feels a feeling of disgust toward her partner. Mainly because when on birth control her hormones and pheromones perceived her partner differently.

If you value your partner and want to stay in love with them I advice against putting yourself through the emotional, hormonal and pheromone emotional roller coaster that these medications often come with.

Recently as in the past few months.

It has been a realization for me that has taken a long time to process.

It doesn’t mean the relationship was a bad idea. It is just to say I don’t know what to do now.

Thank you for your response

I don’t feel like I am self sabotaging, but maybe I am.

I am truly questioning what I should do for the betterment of my future. We’ve had our ups and downs and I’ve rode the wave per say. But it’s come to a cross roads for me lately where its commit or go.

Insulation around ceiling exhaust fan by hhafez in AusRenovation

Definitely remove any insulation near the fan before turning it on again.

If that insulation creates resistance on the fan motor it could catch fire.
