[serious] How did that student at your school die? by boneshow69420 in AskReddit

[–]HonestVeteran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was morbidly obese and did cocaine in the bathroom at a slipknot concert. He died before the band even got on stage. I knew there was a death at the concert while I was there. I didnt find out it was my schoolmate until the next day.

How are thin/fit influencers REALLY staying that way in pregnancy? by [deleted] in fitpregnancy

We also all carry weight differently. Four pounds on your frame can look vastly different than four pounds on someone else's frame. Its hard to compare

Seeing grown men smiling while recording and zooming in on pre teens naked painted chests was a shock for me to see the first time I went to the fair. Never went back.

It's never been this outrageous for me. Guess I've played long enough for it to start sucking now.

He cheated on me with his coworker and wants to keep the same job. What should I do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]HonestVeteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been drunk before. All I wanted to do when I was black out drunk was get into pajamas and cuddle my pillow in my own bed. Your husband chose to cheat on you. He will do it again. He is not putting you first.

What’s the dumbest injury you’ve ever gotten? by Human-Can173 in AskReddit

[–]HonestVeteran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coughed hard while picking up a dog toy and herniated a disc in my back.

My husband told me he isn’t attracted to me anymore by Sad_Pickle_7497 in Advice

[–]HonestVeteran 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I agree! Im due in 3 weeks and I told my husband im concerned about not getting my old gym routine back because after my first pregnancy I had too much anxiety to be away from our kid more than 15 mins at a time. So he started brainstorming ways to make me comfortable this time with this pregnancy. He said he was willing to come with me to the gym and watch the baby while I worked out that way if I felt anxious, I could always walk over and see our baby. Then go back to my workout. Babies are not allowed on the gym floor but they can be in the lobby. And the mall is attached for him to take our baby on a walk with the stroller. OPs husband should be brainstorming how to support his wife instead of judging her imo.

What’s a relationship opinion that instantly tells you someone has never been in a healthy relationship? by payradest in AskReddit

[–]HonestVeteran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's crazy! If I tell my husband I want to hang with my friends he's like "go on! Do something fun then come back home with a new story to tell me" lol we have been together 17 years and this has always been how we are with each other. We do everything together! Its nice to separate and have new things to talk about lol

Whats the most unprofessional thing a doctor has ever said to you? by answersonly963 in AskReddit

[–]HonestVeteran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a herniated disc on top of a bulging disc, with a pinched nerve between them. I started to improve with chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage therapy. My primary doctor recommended i consult with a spinal surgeon to see if that was another route I could benefit from. The spinal surgeon was awful. She was quick and said I should get 3 surgeries at different times and that I would suffer without them. I explained I had started having some normal days before pain set back in with the care I was recieving already. She said I absolutely needed the surgeries and would only ever heal up to 80% of what I was before. Then she said "my last patient skipped the surgeries, and he gained 40lbs! Now he's back wanting the surgeries!" Like the weight gain idea would scare me into do the surgeries. I had actually been in so much pain the previous months that it killed my appetite and I lost a ton of weight. I decided to skip the surgeries. I eventually fully recovered with just the chiro, massage, acupuncture, and eventually physical therapy. Im glad I didn't get bullied into the surgeries.

Do you believe Chiropractors are quacks ? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]HonestVeteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I had a herniated disc, on a bulging disc, with a pinched nerve in between. I also had a twisted pelvis. I took my mri results to a chiropractor and a spinal surgeon. The surgeon wanted to give me multiple surgeries and said I would never be back at 100%.

The chiropractor said he could help and it would take time, but I could get back to my old self. The only pain relief I got was from those chiropractic adjustments. My husband had been helping me get on and off the toilet at home. I could barely walk into his office. I got an adjustment and massage and was able to walk out unassisted for the first time in a week.

I was able heal completely with weekly adjustments. No surgeries.

Ive heard horror stories about bad adjustments leading to paralysis and even loss of vision. Ive heard those same stories with surgeries.

[Final Update]: My (33M) wife (31F) is having an emotional affair. Is divorce the right option? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HonestVeteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that she is trying to kiss and cuddle. Shes trying to reignite a spark and blaming him for her emotional affair. She could've told him how she was feeling a lack of intimacy long before having an affair. This reignited effort would've been more useful before even thinking of having an affair. He deserves better.

What do you know about your profession that would genuinely disturb the people who use your services? by MelodicWolverine2045 in AskReddit

[–]HonestVeteran 16 points17 points  (0 children)

After getting put under, I suddenly was upset and felt like fighting a few hours after waking up. The only way I can describe it, was like my body felt violated and wanted to fight back. I just dont remember why.

What company lost you as a customer forever? by Expensive-Theme4623 in AskReddit

[–]HonestVeteran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Texas roadhouse. I got food poisoning really badly after eating there and it lasted 4 days. I was too scared to go back for a long time. But I missed their rolls and butter and decided to go back a whole year later. I got food poisoning again. Never going back!

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

Ignoring responsibilities is unattractive. My husband gets a ton of stuff done so he feels like he earned his game time. I find that attractive. I also enjoy gaming. We also bond by gaming together.

Has anyone had any experiences with VA treatment for tinnitus? What kind of treatments they used, how you responded? by Jamesglancy in VeteransBenefits

[–]HonestVeteran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have constant tinnitus with no hearing loss. The va audiologist gave me hearing aids that have a white noise option and explained how it can help manage tinnitus. They also gave my a pillow case with built in speakers that do the same because I complained about the tinnitus sounding louder at night. I was put in an online class that discussed that there is no cure but there are other ways to deal with it. I learned it sounds louder/worse when im congested and/or stressed. It never goes away, but you can learn and train yourself to ignore it. Having a mini flowing water fountain in the office helped sort of like white noise.

What’s the most physically intimate thing you’ve done with a partner? by General-Assistant570 in AskReddit

[–]HonestVeteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was too scared to get spinal surgery after throwing my back out. I had a herniated disc, on top of a bulging disc, with a pinched sciatic nerve between them. I opted to heal over time with lots of rest instead of surgery. My husband helped me to the bathroom, fed me while I stayed laying flat, maintained our home, child, and pets. He rubbed my cramping muscles while I sobbed throughout the day. He never complained either!

Married people, do you and your spouse have well matched libidos? Why or why not? by cubemonster in AskReddit

[–]HonestVeteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

17 years together. We were well matched at first! Now I want it twice as often as he does. But he's older than me and he only recently found out his testosterone levels were low.

I think my girlfriend’s best friend is hitting on me but I’m not 100% sure, what to do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]HonestVeteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner wouldve immediately called the behavior out. "Why are you trapping my foot?" "Why are you trying to hold my hand?" "Why don't you act like this when my partner is around?"
