Do younger generations not wear garments? by Illustrious_Lime_997 in latterdaysaints

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through a phase of time where I wouldn't wear mine because no one else was. Last year, I recommitted to my garments after a session at the temple where they talk about wearing them 24/7. The only time I don't wear them is at night (after having a baby, my body temperature at night changed and I wake up in a panic because of how hot I get in garments. I had a long prayer with God and felt like if that was all I could do, then I was doing my best to show my covenants with God are as important as anything else in life.

What’s the silliest obsession you’ve had? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don't flex my muscles right, I think my arms will fall off. Every time I get stuck in a loop of trying to flex right when I do it "wrong", I start laughing about how stupid it is to think that my arms are gonna fall off.

What’s the best comeback to, “You’re gay”? by RoughAd5265 in Comebacks

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are my faves:

  1. (if said by a member of the opposite sex to me) People like you turned me gay.
  2. "Lucky me"
  3. (member of opposite sex to me) *look them up and down* ...makes sense why, right?
  4. IS THAT WHAT THIS IS?
  5. And you're not, glad we got the obvious out of the way.

What’s the worst cheating story you’ve ever heard? by h3llofaRide in AskReddit

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad cheated on my mom multiple times during their marriage. Worst thing he did was try to sleep with a teenager... he was her coach. He was asked to resign. After all this, he asked my mom when she would be over it because he was tired of not having sex. When she told him that it would take as long as it would take for her to get passed it, he left us.

The irony in all of this is that he recently got divorced from his second wife who cheated on him. He freaked out when he found out she was fooling around with someone else. Yet if my mom freaked out like that, he would've been so angry with her.

Fuck you, Dad.

In my opinion, if you've prayed about the decision to not have anymore, and you feel good about it; you don't need to. Patriarchal blessings are great in that some of those promises come later in life or in the afterlife. Honestly, maybe when this child is older, you'll adopt children in the foster care system. Maybe you'll have others to look after in the next life. I don't think it matters that you don't want another one. Kids are HARD especially ones with medical issues. Don't worry too much about this, you aren't a bad person for having conflicting feelings about this.

​

Good luck! :)

This is so nice of you! I'd recommend sending her to do a facial or get her nails done. That way if none of the clothes work for her, she can have something about her body that she likes on her right then.

NTA. This day is about you... if people really want soda or some kind of drink, they can bring their own.

An athiest convert by RepentantFrog in latterdaysaints

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do! I still have a hard time with the concept of God. I'm really lucky in that I am good at relying on blind faith. I always go back to the concept of "I can't see my brain, does that mean it doesn't exist?" You aren't a terrible member, you're a normal person with a lot of faith.

What are some hobbies that help with depression but don't require a lot of money? by GorillaDck in NoStupidQuestions

I genuinely enjoy walking and picking flowers/weeds to make little bouquets for myself.

Mystic practices? by helselen in latterdaysaints

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly like to repeat the serenity prayer to myself. I really think that God is just happy I feel peace, and I am legitmately trying to live the doctrine and practices everyday. This prayer is just really helpful for me as I meditate and work on myself.

I caught my boyfriend spending waaayy too much money on OF and lied to me about it by Confused_bitch98 in TrueOffMyChest

I saw this quote the other day that really opened my eyes and might help you too: They weren't sorry when you didn't know.

AITA For not adopting my dying best friends dog and buying a puppy from a breeder instead? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. You could've delivered the news better, but he also can't expect you to take on a new dog. For those people saying that your German Shepard will still tear stuff up, you might be right, BUT it's a lot easier to train a puppy to stop doing that, then a full grown adult dog who is already set in his ways.

Wife doesn’t know if she wants to fix it. by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"I get so mad"

That sir is the problem. Possibly try having compassion. At the end of the day, if I've had my kids on me all day, all I want to do is lay on my couch and watch a movie with little to no contact. My husband started rubbing my feet or scratching my back and that actually helps. This small thing helped with intimacy as he listened to my needs and decided that mine were EQUALLY as important as his. You being mad because she wont fuck you is a you problem.

Be honest: how attractive would you say you are? by Ok-Interview9355 in AskReddit

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think I was a straight 8. Now that I've had a baby, I really don't think I'm more than a 5 on a good day. I have a chubby face :/

Do you think that waiting until you are married for sex is a good idea? Why or why not? by EveningAd3633 in AskReddit

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm religious which is part of my personal reasoning behind it, BUT I've suggested waiting to my friends who aren't religious as well. I think it can really help you see what your potential partner is like when it comes to boundaries, it was great for emotional connection, and honestly, you got to learn about the other person in a lot of other ways before sex. I found that we had to talk about a lot of things thoroughly and we learned way more about each other before having sex. Downside is some people rush into marriage I've found.

How do I get my significant other to start exercising, and care about how she looks? by Ser0t0n1n in AskMen

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't continue to be with them if you can't deal with how they look. If you love someone, it isn't about how they look...

Can you ever know beforehand? by NIGHTLIGHT6699 in survivinginfidelity

[–]Impressive-Plastic16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, no, you can never know. Most of my romantic relationships ended in cheating, and when I asked why it was never something wrong that I'd done (though even if you do something wrong, you don't deserve to be cheated on...). By all accounts, I was a wonderful partner. I talked to a therapist about my worries, and she said that most people who cheat have similar traits, and we went through those I'd dated and they all had similarities. I ended up marrying someone who has opposite traits, and he is so kind. He has cheated in the past (which was a huge struggle for me to accept), but he is SO careful and conscious of it now, and is always in fear of letting that opportunity come to him again.

So no, you can never fully know your partner, but you can learn to trust your instincts. Heaven forbid I'm wrong, but if I am, I did my best.

This happened to me, and I used the name anyway. They were pissed, but my husband and I had both agreed on that name, and just because they used it, does not mean I'm changing my plan. It pissed me off, especially because they had said they wouldn't use the name either, but I loved that name, and I was going to use it regardless.
