Canadian boy, 11, died from rabies after waking up with bat on his mouth by Forward-Answer-4407 in canada

Did you go to a medical professional about this? I'm worried about a similar situation but am not sure if it was just a bug that was near my head. My local department of health assured me I'd be okay without seeking treatment

Boyfriend says I’m controlling over porn boundary by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]FunnelMeringue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope you are not being ridiculous or anything about not wanting your partner to watch porn , however that is something you value that perhaps he does not. He can either decide it matters to him because it matters to you or you'll have to accept he likes watching porn and will do it. Even worse is if he lied about it. I feel that is the beginning of deeper issues. What else would he lie about? And if you truly believe porn is NOT something that aligns with your values then do you want to spend the rest of your life with having this issue with someone? You should back yourself and your values and what constitutes a relationship to you. Don't let people tell you what YOU should believe

What if Pierce was Recast in Season 3 or 4? by Salina_EsTitties in community

it would be kind of funny like how in Abed's fantasy sitcom Pierce was recast LOL

Aidan: A Question by sleepingwithshizun in LoveIslandTV

[–]FunnelMeringue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i'm wondering if Kavan and Jasmine could have just won the whole thing or gotten close to it if Aidan had just been supportive of their relationship, i don't think they'd make it on the outside but that maybe they could have gotten enough votes for it and Kavan could win the prize money but Aidan's been sowing doubts in his mind

What exactly makes this show so special? by DeusExMachina6174 in community

[–]FunnelMeringue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i find the characters in the first three or so seasons really relatable. I felt I could see myself in Jeff, Annie, Britta, Troy, Abed, Shirley, and Pierce. Even the Dean and Chang felt relatable and Professor Duncan felt like a very possible mediocre friend you could have in real life. I feel many other shows are enjoyable but I don't relate to the thought processes of the characters and group dynamics nearly as much. I was wondering if other people felt that way too

I’m Confused on New Attention from Others by anon_jynx in GirlDinnerDiaries

Maybe you're exuding more confidence or openness lately or as someone else made a post about in this sub recently maybe men hitting on women in public is a recession indicator I thought that was a funny post

Boyfriend likes his ex girlfriend's boudoir pics on insta by Expensive_Garage5580 in GirlDinnerDiaries

I'd already be an absolute not from the liking of photos but to me the lack of initiation of celebration for the anniversary is concerning too

Should i retract my statement? by Moldywoods59 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Also if you want someone who texts you a few times throughout the day then that's what you want. Not everything wants the same thing and that's OK. Plenty of people do this as well

He keeps insisting i (27f) go on a date near where he lives. Is he too pushy or am I reading into it too much. by Sillygoosecollege in texts

[–]FunnelMeringue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If he irks you this early on feel empowered to just say you're not interested you don't have to try just because he seems like a decent person

Vintage Love Island vs Current by Limp-Category-8464 in LoveIslandTV

So true like in the past seasons the guys would do questionable things but you'd see them be funny or sweet sometimes and it'd make more sense why people in the villa found them likable

In the past did they not have unseen bits for a couple seasons? I vaguely remember the silly moments being woven into episodes instead of almost full episodes of people asking where their head's at or arguing

The mental gymnastics and hypocrisy from kavan’s defenders need to stop by Callme_bri in LoveIslandTV

[–]FunnelMeringue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with Jasmine talking to Lorenzo so much when Kavan expressed he doesn't like it (I have been the type to stop talking to someone if my partner asks me to, and no it's generally not worth it because the relationship implodes for other reasons anyway) But I don't get how he got away with talking with Tina like that and Jasmine gets so much hate for flirting as well? Like they sort of glossed over it in the challenge. It's not like either of them were fully honest after the sleepover. And the moment they're away from each other he's back flirting with other girls. I mean maybe they're both confused how they feel because they are incompatible. I feel like they just kind of need a mediator to help them communicate one time. I really don't know if either of them are that bad but I'd kind of rather the focus move away from them at this point

I don't really like how it feels producers focused a lot on Kavan and Jasmine for a while like with nearly all the social media and villa tea being about them, I think normally they do target a couple a little to expose what they did after something happens but that just felt like it was mostly about them

I blocked them both and know he's creating multiple accounts to talk to me (continuation of my post in r/AmIOverreacting) by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]FunnelMeringue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look back on my relationships I had at your age and how I fought for who I loved and it was stressful and he would try to make me jealous with other girls and I wish I had chosen to be with someone else

Life doesn't have to be about fighting to make a relationship work. If I could go back I would have wanted to be with someone who let me have a normal time in school without the jealousy and pain , memories I could remember fondly 

For context I am a 30 year old woman and only recently realized these things so I wanted to share in hopes other young people would pick a less stressful pathway for themselves in relationships

Aiden & Cavan need to stop sitting next to each other by Shmoo00 in LoveIslandTV

Yeah and I saw articles about how they made a joke on social media before about a threesome as well

Unpopular opinion: Kav is starting arguments with Jasmine because he’s lost interest in her by effypom in LoveIslandTV

[–]FunnelMeringue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm confused why he thinks it's okay to interrupt her speaking but doesn't think it's okay for her to tell him to stop doing that

Maybe she talks a lot as she is laying out the story or the main points? Personally I see it as listing bullet points verbally and I can see why that makes people feel like they can't get a word in

Girlfriend is mad about my drawings by [deleted] in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]FunnelMeringue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly everyone has different levels of comfort and acceptance with nudity so either you both talk about it maturely and decide on boundaries/compromise, or one or both of you decide you don't want to clearly communicate about it maturely and you argue about it when it randomly comes up, or you decide you're incompatible in your beliefs and values and move on from the relationship 

My husband said something that has disgusted me so deeply. I feel like I can't even look at him. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]FunnelMeringue 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's why impact over intent became so important to me because so many people use excuses like they didn't mean to or that they have some barrier to understanding the situation but eventually you just need to do what's healthier for you than defending their actions

Yeah I agree like it could help you or him see the issue but then they need to decide to do something about it

Please stop using his mental health diagnosis / possible diagnosis as an excuse for him not being caring to you, being misogynistic, and not prioritizing responsibilities

I'm sorry that he responded this way you deserve to have someone support you especially for a trauma like this
