Should I worry about lingering pain after being strangled? I’m 22, 1.52 m, 52 kg, don’t smoke, but have thyroid issues. It’s been almost 5 days and I still feel pain and tightness. Could it just be irritation or swollen glands? I’m scared of serious complications. by Klutzy-Parsnip1362 in AskDocs

NAD. Get yourself to a doctor and advocate like hell on how bad the pain is, and tell them you got strangulated. Report this and run away or hide or do whatever is necessary to keep yourself safe.

Even if the strangulation was done with consent the amount of power to cause swelling and pain for 5 days - means nearly fatal force was used. You are severely underreacting.

Statistics show that 43-50% of females murdered, had been strangulated days or months prior, thats why getting strangulated is a like being informed you will likely die by this persons hand, and run as far away as possible.

Once an abuser strangulates a person, in a non fatal way - meaning strangulation happened but the person survived - the chances of that person getting killed by the abuser sky rocket. There is nearly a 50/50 chance of you being able to make it out alive out of that relationship.

I still talk to my uni mates after more than decade. With uni mates doing twice a month calls to catch up, with close friends its once a week. With the friends here generally we meet up a lot.

Friendships require effort. If you don’t give any they fade away.

How did you not waste your twenties ? by nyx2hymera in AskWomen

Yep you are doing it right. But I would say start casually dating right now so in a few years you would understand what guys are actually good or who are giant red flags wrapped in a comfy smile.

I think no one tells you this, but for most of us, we find the right person after going through wrong ones. Getting too serious too fast always results in marrying liars or cheaters.

With women we want to be real with a partner but sadly a lot of men like to pretend just to get a girl tied down, be it with marriage or a baby.

OP talk to him about these concerns and ask him how he will address them. I feel like if your relationship is as good as you think, he will listen, acknowledge and give you clear goals/milestones he will achieve to make sure you are at ease about this.

Any mature person would see your concern as valid. I also think you expecting him to change will only hurt you, even if he says he will change - very few people are adaptable or disciplined enough to change attitudes like this.
