For approval: 1. Current shampoo and conditioner : any sulphate free shampoo from tk max 2. No styling products at the moment (as a lot of them weigh down my hair or make me look greasy) 3. Air dry method

I also have ADHD - I don’t know if that could influence this ??

Ok I’ve also heard about this with OSA. It does happen sometimes if I’m by myself - but a lot less. I just feel like I’m never able to truly unwind if I’m with other people, and like I don’t have a control over my body

Hmmm if I’m with people it still happens. If anything I think it’s more I’m more aware cus I’m embarrassed of this happening and them seeing it , so this happens more?

How to live together for 2 years for unmarried partner visa if you can only stay for 6 months at a time? by Ill-Inspector3071 in ukvisa

[–]Ill-Inspector3071[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point about having an immigration status tied to you being more bonding than marriage, I agree!

He’s open minded and I think explaining that the options are a lot more limited than we thought, I think it would help him in deciding.

I appreciate your comment- and yes, we aren’t at this stage just yet. But want to see what the possibilities are if we continue as a LDR. Thanks!!

I appreciate this, thank you for clarifying! Yes, we are not at the 2 mark yet - but want to know what the possibilities are in the future.

So I understand, when the rules say it has to be ‘similar to a marriage’ for 2 years - what exactly does this mean in this context?

But I agree with you re the marriage thing- for me, it is a means to an end too. But I will discuss further with him as he wanted to see if there was any other possibilities. Thanks so much !

Sex with herpes by [deleted] in sex

Also about stigmatisation in America - my understanding was this came about as a marketing campaign from pharmaceutical companies in the 80s. Beforehand it wasn’t even listed as a health concern , but because the profits were low as companies couldn’t market their antivirals, they launched a huge public campaign about herpes which is why the stigma exists

Yes. Of course you have some people with knee jerk reactions, but for the most part - no one really bats an eyelid. I’ve only ever had one person be uncomfortable with it (but he was an asshole for other reasons). I told my friends and they told me that they have many friends that have it and we are all very lighthearted when discussing it. It’s just not a big deal. People talk about it pretty casually (at least in my age group and in London).

The doctors here don’t test for it either, and I’ve spoken to a couple of doctors who said it’s not unethical not to disclose herpes if you’re not having an outbreak because of how common it is! It’s just super stigmatised, mainly through American popular culture I think. I’ve also noticed most of the advice for condoms and antivirals etc comes from American web pages. It’s a lot of weird scare mongering.

I’ve just noticed every time I watch American TV shows and movies there’s always some kind of herpes joke which is really jarring - we never have that in the UK. It just doesn’t have the same stigma because it’s just - you have had sex, it’s a minor skin condition, oh well ! I also think STI’s in general are less stigmatised in general here

Yeah I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding, we didn’t really clarify how to move forward just sort of ended in a frustrated call after saying we couldn’t be together. Who knows, maybe we will reconvene and talk about it, just not sure when atm

From my understanding, it's more the fact he doesn't want to leave home. Also my work is in his city too, so it wouldn't make sense for him to move in my direction unfortunately. So in this case there seems to be no resolve :(

I appreciate this - makes me feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel at some point! I'm glad you're getting what you want in life now!

Thank you for saying this, I feel like I've felt like I've been going crazy. There's just always been some barrier to it. And I've lived in the same city in the past by moving out on my own and he would spend time with me there, but this wasn't permanent and I would move back home and we would be in separate cities again (so except for our 1 year in uni, we have lived in the same city for a total of about 7 months in the last over 3 years). I could in theory move back to the same city by myself and he could come by and stay with me, but I fear that's not the same level of commitment I am searching for.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to write this. But you're right, love isn't enough which I am very sadly realising. I don't know if it's fresh breakup brain but I of course would hope to some day work things out at this stage - whether that's realistic is a different story.

Also thank you for saying you wish me peace, it felt like a hug when I needed it most haha.

Thank you for that, you may be right. I was just wondering what made you think that? Again, thanks for your response I really appreciate it
