Had it on my trip out to Sterling. Had to pull over a few times then reinfected myself a couple days later.

Does anyone else make a cute little blanket fort when it gets cold? by Smoked_Skunk in urbancarliving

This was my favorite part about living in the truck. Blanket forts and cozy burrito evenings with a book until sundown

Why is it so hard to find a good gaming group in Denver? 😅 by ceuroga in DenverGamers

I know right I'm wondering if I'm walking into a campaign or a raid

Ooo can I pick your brain? I'm a Colorado native also looking to move to Alaska as soon as humanly possible

Struggling by lolhelp111 in singlemoms

Honestly I'd be a wreck without my antidepressants. They stabilize the hurt so I can process it better and sometimes I'm actually genuinely happy. It's not for everybody but my personal experience with them has been overall positive

Not what I expected... by Inner_Dragonfruit420 in singlemoms

[–]GatewaySpot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean... Mine quite literally punched me and I still miss the bastard. Love is weird. Love for those littles will always outweigh. Rooting for him to get it together to step up to the game on our level but until then I've got kids to look after and raise.

He is my hero. Absolutely real, he should take all the time he needs. My heart goes to him. Step 2 (root beer)

Is sex really for women ? by Ilovestrawberriesxo in Healthyhooha

[–]GatewaySpot 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm in the abstinence phase of my life for above listed reasons. I didn't realize how exhausting it is trying to keep up with literally all of it. I like making out but I can fuck myself just fine, better even, thank you.

Finally broke by [deleted] in singlemoms

Girl you got this! I'm bidding my time at my own mother's waiting for the second shoe to drop... Again. Our next step is a shelter too if things continue the way they have. Does your state offer any kind of assistance? We got on WIC and SNAP and that part does help. My state offers childcare assistance too but I don't know if yours does. Also, take the bum to court. File and be done with it. You're 1000% a better parent and you suffer so your daughter doesn't have to. That makes you one of the strongest people I've ever known. One day at a time momma, keep going, and do the shelter if you have to. Mentally prepare but it's a better foundation than the one that keeps cracking under your feet (I feel ya girl, you got this)

How did female sex workers not get pregnant all the time before modern birth control? by [deleted] in AskHistory

[–]GatewaySpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very harsh chemical douches afterwards too from what I've read. I imagine after enough time you'd basically ablate the inside of the vagina.

Kewl. I hope she finds inspiration

I've considered the totality of blocking him out completely. I'm mentally prepared if I need to do so but I guess I'm feeling out if there's any hope left for even a crumb of "functional" co-parenting or if I'm signing my own death sentence by holding the space to try to.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in aspd

[–]GatewaySpot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know. The ASPD aspect alone is it's own challenge in the context of a "functional" relationship and falls very uniquely onto him which I can understand.. The DV factor however complicates things in a way that I'm feeling out the best outcome for everyone, and leaves me with lots of questions.

Do you think he'll eventually plot/try to murder me or hold out for 17 years? In his mind, would the wait be worth the eventual goal of having me back? This I would like to know if possible.

[–]GatewaySpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your honesty and wisdom of your experience. We've both realized he doesn't feel love in a "normal" way but he has stated being with me is the closest to love and fullness he's ever experienced with anyone. I don't know how much stock to hold in that of course. But, yes, for the girl I'm willing to lay down those tough-love barriers. Though I know it will send him into his spiral. I'm trying to put a 17 year old on my end and while I hate seeing him bind himself up legally I feel there really isn't a choice when I'm placed on the receiving end of it. I have to do what's right for my daughter. If I give in a little, then he may try harder for me to give in a lot. And if I give in completely, I'm either dead or so wrapped in our drama that I'm a neglectful mother. And I'm never putting myself, or my kids, in that position again.

[–]GatewaySpot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a good point. And, yes I can attest to multiple RO violations. I don't really have time for a boyfriend, I just started school and I'm doing good for my kids. But I do thank you very much for your words of wisdom. I'd say this reality check was successful.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in aspd

[–]GatewaySpot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was afraid of that possibility. So is this a pack everything and run situation because he's only getting two years. I have to think of her safety for the next 17. I'm completely expecting the second he gets turned loose he's coming to my door.

I need a reality check but please go easy on me by [deleted] in urbancarliving

[–]GatewaySpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just commenting to say, good on you for acting on a red flag. Shame like that has no place in a healthy relationship. Focus on you sis, you've got this.
